Just because I am not posting much does not mean that all is quiet.
More likely it means I am too busy to post very often.

The latest news is from my daughter.  My wife and I paid a lawyer in LA
to seek a protective order to limit her deposition.  Judge March limited
it to one hour and sanctioned the scientologists $1000 "sue sponte."
She also made comments to the effect of having never seen a bankruptcy
of even a major international company which had a 34 page docket sheet
or this many hours of deposition.  Of course, Helena Kobrin appealed the
limit and the sanctions.  The lawyer we were using has decided she no
longer wants to be involved, so the papers Helena filed got shipped to
us--nearly a half inch thick brief to the district court and a 1.5 inch
thick stack of pages pulled out of the court documents and deposition
transcripts.

If anyone knows a lawyer in the LA area who would like to take on a
scientology case, my daughter could really use pro bono or reduced fees
representation.  So far we have spent as much as half a year of college
for her legal representation.

Speaking about abuse of process, I filed a complaint with the New York
Bar about Rosen.  I may post it here eventually, but for now, if you are
known to me just ask for a copy by email.

My trial in Hemet on "misdemeanor terrorism" starts a week from next
Monday, assuming it is not overtaken by other events.

Which reminds me--from http://caag.state.ca.us/piu/da.htm,

"Complaints against District Attorneys are, in certain specified
situations, handled directly by the Office of the Attorney General.
However, the Attorney General's intervention is appropriate only where
there is a demonstrated conflict of interest which would
disqualify the district attorney from a particular case.

**********

"Also, if there is an obvious abuse of the district attorney's legal
discretion in the decision whether to file a criminal charge, the
Attorney General may intervene."
******************************

There is the statement of Deputy Tony Greer,

   "In reviewing all of the Internet postings I did not see any direct
   threat of violence towards the church or any personnel of the
   church."

Combined with my First Amendment protected activity of picketing gold
base (and being arrested while picketing) makes the actions of the Hemet
DAs look a lot like an "obvious abuse of the district attorney's legal
discretion" and an attempt to violate my right to peacefully protest the
vicious abuses of scientology.  (Including two deaths at gold last
year.)

I don't know if is any truth to vague rumors about Judge Rodney L.
Walker talking to the the AG's office, but there does seem to be darn
good cause if he has asked them to check out this case.

Of course, it would not hurt a bit for others to contact the California
AG, especially Californians who can go through their elected
representaive and have them suggest to the AG that he take a look at the
Deputy DAs in Hemet and this case.

You can email right out of the form here http://caag.state.ca.us/piu/

Thanks to any who do.  I would appreciate your making a copy and posting
it on ars.

Keith Henson

PS, For those in the know, a really good video is rapidly making the
rounds in a certain California city.  Details later or by email.
