Gives you the feel that this will be a interesting year. :-) Arel was in town, a new person wanted to picket, so 5 of us picketed from noon to two pm. As usual I was across the street and gave out slightly over 100 Xenu flyers. This KR is from talking to Gregg, Arel, the unknown picketer, and Martin LeMoine, an old time ex scientologist. Martin was part of the Sea Org when it infiltrated into Clearwater and at one time was the ED of the Montreal org. He and his family went "clear" together but never got into the OT levels because he wanted his friends and family to go up the "bridge" together. To considerable dismay at the org, Martin LeMoine was immediately recognized by Bobby Hill (actually looking sober today) and Val Hill (our boo hoo clam). Bob and Val were very busy trying to steer the latest scientology recruits away from the picketing SPs. (The org seems to have switched from Sat. courses to Sunday to keep the raw meat from the enturbulation of pickets.) When we showed up "child chaser", the black dude who went after Kim's son in St. Catherine's, got on the red phone. Shortly thereafter, Mario and Pat Felsky plus other senior members of the Day org showed up, having had their Sunday ruined. They begin traffic control, sending people out of the org in places were the picketers were not close to at the time. After Gregg read OT 3, the day people vanished except for Mario and Felsky. Shortly after that Bob and Val Hill showed along with one of the three Mikes. Best incident of the day was a fresh recruit scientologist who approached Gregg and wanted to talk to him. He had wanted to know why Gregg had a problem with scientology. Mario saw him and screamed "No! Don't talk to him!" The young man said to Mario "I can't hold two conversations at the same time, I want to talk to him" gesturing at Gregg. By this point Mario was approaching a shambling jog. Gregg told the young man, "You won't be able to talk to me, its's against policy" at that moment Mario reach them and said, "You cant talk to him, it's against policy." Mario grabbed at the young man who shook him off one arm, Mario went around him, grabbed him by the other arm and frog marched him into the org. As he was begin marched away Gregg told him, "You know where you are going now." Then Gregg and Martin both said "Your going to ethics!" At one point in the picket, two kids of scientology's parents were yelling at Gregg that he was going to die. Kind of makes you wonder what these kids hear at home. We had a good time, but it was really cold out there today. We are looking forward to warmer weather in March. Keith Henson PS police presence, one car went by went by, recognized Gregg and waved.

More later. This picket was because Gregg had noticed last Sunday that there was a dianetics event set for Sat. Feb 23 at 2 pm. We skipped the usual meeting at the coffee shop and met in the parking lot. Small picket, Gregg and the Unknown picketer in front of the org and me up the street. It was cold, but I still gave out 100 flyers--hard to do because so many of the passers by have already seen the Xenu flyer. They set up about 20 chairs in the former Brothers restaurant all facing a large screen TV. Attending were 15 known scientology staff and members and 3 victims, two of whom Gregg intercepted and provided with questions and Xenu flyers. All were stripped of their flyers (as they were told to expect) within a few minutes. One of the women who talked to Gregg was expensively dressed and seem to be wealthy. Her flyer was ripped our of hand before she made it in the door by a goon squad members who "wanted to read it" and she was distracted by another squad member. They didn't start the Dianetics video tape until almost 2:30. We picketed from about 1:30 to 3 pm. The police drove by about 2 pm and waved. A good picket. Perhaps now that is it warming up we should make it a daily practice.

Arel saw almost nobody walking out in the compound, she stayed on the north side of the road and Richard took the south side. Richard saw more, but the place seemed to be in a full "Henson" drill, in heads down mode to avoid seeing the signs. There were a lot of cars parked there this time--which is unusual since few of the staff have cars. A very quiet picket, little traffic. Arel says that the dirt bike track was jumping with more people then there were at the scientology compound. Arel says the Ashlee memorial is completely gone. The don't seem to have time to keep the right of way weeded. Keith Henson
