All of them, those in power, and those who want the power, would pamper us, if we agreed to overlook their crookedness by wilfully restricting our activities.

was stating them or she would be sued by the Cult.» —

Affidavit of Vicki Aznaran: 27 Jan 92
6. That also, to my certain knowledge,
David Miscavige
conceived, planned and ordered the implementation of
the basic strategic and tactical actions of the church
against those whom he considered to be causing legal
or public relations conflicts against any church or
against his personal and absolute control of Scientology.
He also ordered the allocation of and made available
funding for the financing of these actions, which included
the declaring of those whom he considered to be his
"enemies' as Suppressive Persons, the implementation
of the policies known as "Fair Game" against these persons
once so declared, the infiltration of private and governmental
environments which he deemed hostile to his absolute
control over Scientology, the organization of vigilante
groups within the organizations of Scientology to be
used against those individuals whom he deemed to be
his enemies.
Affidavit of Vicki Aznaran (29 June 1993)
5. Before and during the trial in Wollersheim v Church
of Scientology of California, MFTC and WOLLY ran
a number of operations directed against Wollersheim,
his counsel, and the Court. One of these operations
was an attempt to put pressure on Bill Swearinger, the
son of the trial judge in the Wollersheim case,
based on his alleged homosexuality. The idea was to
dig up, or manufacture (perhaps by setting the
son up in a compromising sexual position with a minor
boy), dirt on the son which could be used to pressure
the Judge to rule favorably for Scientology, or else
to get the Judge disqualified.
Affidavit of Vicki Aznaran (7 March 1994)
27. It is the stated policy and practice of Scientology
to use the legal system to abuse and harass its enemies.
This crude, fundamental directive of Scientology is
no secret. The policy is to do anything and everything
possible to harass the opposing litigant without regard
to whether any particular motion or maneuver is appropriate
or warranted by the facts of applicable law. That policy
was followed in every legal case I was involved with
or learned about while a member of the Sea Organization.
The management of Scientology consistently expressed
and demonstrated a complete disdain for the court system,
viewing it as nothing more than a method to harass enemies.
Some examples of this are set forth below.
Time (May 1991): "Scientology: The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" by Richard Behar
During the early 1970s, the IRS conducted its own auditing
sessions and proved that Hubbard was skimming millions
of dollars from the church, laundering the money through
dummy corporations in Panama and stashing it in Swiss
bank accounts. Moreover, church members stole IRS documents,
filed false tax returns and harassed the agency's employees.
By late 1985, with high-level defectors accusing Hubbard
of having stolen as much as S200 million from the church,
the IRS was seeking an indictment of Hubbard for tax
fraud. Scientology members "worked day and night" shredding
documents the IRS sought, according to defector Aznaran,
who took part in the scheme. Hubbard, who had been in
hiding for five years, died before the criminal case
could be prosecuted.

Atack (1990):
"A Piece of Blue Sky: Chapter 5 - After Hubbard"
The Aznarans allege that the intention in October 1982
(the time of the San Francisco Mission Holders' Conference)
was "for all Scientology entities to turn over their
profits to . . . Author Services, Inc." When Vicki expressed
disapproval of this, she was ordered to the RPF in Hemet
where, "for approximately 120 days, [she] was forced
to participate in the 'running program.' The running
program required Vicki and other persons subjected to
the control of Defendants to run around an orange telephone
pole from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m .... with ten minute
rests every one-half hour, and thirty minute breaks
for lunch and dinner."
