The first time ! ever heard a staff member of the Church of Scientology speak about Judge Kovakevitch was in June 1986, in relation to Margery Wakefield. While working for the Guardianøs Office during 1982, I had participated in a project to turn Margery Wakefieid's attorney Wait Logan against her by feeding him false information that Margery Wakefield was still a member of the Church of Scientology at that time, which was not true. I was somewhat familiar with the status of Margery Wakefield's case, as it was broadly discussed amongst members who were working for and helping the Guardian's Office such as myself. In June 1986 i was told by Church executive Eilie Bolger that "Margery Wakefield would fry for breaking her gag order." I had never heard that term before, and E!lie Bolger explained that a gag order is a covenant not to talk against the Church to the media. At that time I was very enthusiastic about the prospects of seeing Margery Wakefield punished, and I asked E!lie Bolger how "we were going to get her." EIHe Bolger responded by saying, "We have a Judge who completely duplicates our viewpoint." I knew this phrase to be Scientology jargon indicating that the Judge was "on our side" or "sees our point of view." Ellie Bolger then identified the Judge as Judge Elizabeth Kovakevitch from the Middle District of Florida, in Tampa. I had not heard of her up until that time. Ellie further explained that the Church had allied itself with the Judge through the "Say No To Drugs" campaign. She added that Judge Kovakevitch was on the mailing list to receive "lots of good roads, good weather, and good news PR", which meant to me that she was on a special type of mailing list circulated by the Dissemination Secretary of the Church which targeted public officials not for Church services particularly but rather to positively influence public opinion in the direction of the Church. I had prior knowledge that there was a specific public relations- type mailing list maintained by the Church. E!lie Bolger was very confident at that time that Judge Kovakevitch would not consider ruling adversely to the Church of Scientology, and further indicated that Judge Kovakevitch "liked the Church because of our stand against drugs." The next time I heard about Judge Kovakevitch from a Scientology staff member was in February 1987. Cathy Webb, an executive of the Church, told me in her office at 118 N. Fort Harrison Avenue, that "Kovakevitch would never rule against us again", and that "she was really O.K." I asked Cathy Webb why she was so sure, to which she responded, "We have Aunt Liz under surveillance. We followed her to Sarasota to find out what she's been doing and where she's been." I understood that "Aunt Liz" referred to the Judge. !t was inappropriate for me to press Cathy for more details so I did not do so. It is standard policy in Scientology that staff members are assigned to keep in close contact with Federal Judges and to keep their activities coordinated with the intelligence section of the Church, which is the Office of Special Affairs. Furthermore, it is also the policy to determine whether the decisions of Federal Judges remain in line with Scientology purposes, and to take whatever steps are necessary to influence the viewpoint or decision making process of all Judges who preside over Scientology litigation, irrespective of their jurisdiction. i attended a seminar known as the Power Lines Conference sponsored by the Office of Special Affairs of the Church of Scientology which took place at the Fort Harrison Hotel of the Flag Land Base on or about February 9-11, 1987. I was the delegate to the Power Lines Conference from the Church of Scientology Mission of Fort Lauderdale. I was given an award for having arranged for Russell Means, the leader of the American Indian Movement, to meet with Church executives for the purpose of negotiations by Church officials for the lease of various Indian lands over which Mr. Means had considerable influence. While at this conference, i met with Dennis Clarke, the President of the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights, an anti-psychiatry front group controlled by the Church. He told me "Now that we have Elizabeth Kovakevitch in our pocket, she will never rule against Scientology again!" He added that she had been to Flag (the Fort Harrison Hotel and/or the Sand Castle Hotel) in Clearwater, Florida at a public event. !n the context of that same conversation, and in front of Freddie Ulan, another executive of the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights, Dennis Clarke told me that the "Church had made a cash contribution to one of Elizabeth Kovakevitch's favorite pet projects." Dennis Clarke then said, "We need more Federal Judges like Kovakevitch in our corner." It is standard practice for Church staff attached to the intelligence network of the Church, particularly the Office of Special Affairs, to do a thorough FBl-like investigation of all judges and attorneys involved in litigation involving the Church of Scientology, and whenever possible, to accumulate personal and confidential data about the targeted official which could later be made available to influence the official. It is not uncommon for Church officials to use secret information garnered from covert investigative practices as a means to even blackmail officials, in the process of threatening to expose information or hold the official up to ridicule. The practice is also used against psychiatrists, psychologists and ~:;'~:.,~,:r perceived "enemies" of the Church, including but not limited to expert witnesses testifying against the Church as well as the individual litigants themselves.

Lockino them in Once the fish is on the hook 5cientologists must go to all and any lengths to stop it wriggling free. '~. Ron Hubbard writes this (H~ Sulletin Z9 September "The whole dre~ of a PS (P~rsonal ~ficiency) Foundation is to get the people in fast, get them invoiced in a congress t~e assembly line, no waiting, give them hot, ~cited, positiue service and boot them on through to their ~S and TH~ worry about doing something else wit~ them. And never let a a s~udent leave or quit - introvert him lake a bullet and get him to get audited. If he gets no reality don't let him w~der out. .If he w~ks in that door ' f~r a free PS, that's it. He doesn't get out ~cept into an individual auditor's hand~ in the real tough ~ses, until he's an ~5." One of the most si~ster aspects of auditing, one that sho~ed ~e father himself, is the cormp~ indeed criminal, use of the confessions made to the auditor. Hubbard has emphasised repeatedly that everything said during auditing is absolutely confidential. That assur~ce is given by the auditor to the person being audited. What happens is that that person communicates to the auditor his innemost thoughts and relates any criminal offences or tr~sgressions of ~y kind, ~y incidents from his life which are embarrassing or for which he could be blackmailed. These statements are written down by the auditor including time, place, and a detailed description of each incident as well as who were present and knew about the incident. - '- - Contrary tO the assurance of confidentiality all "auditing" files'are available to 5cientologyms intelligence and enforcement bureaux and are used, if necessary, to control and extort obedience from the person who was audited. If a person seeks to escape from 5cientology his auditing files are taken by the intelligence bureau and used, if wished, to pressure him into silence. They are often so used and uncontroverted evidence of this has been given at this hearin9. , Closely connected with this is the duty of ScientoloGists to inform on each otherú This is done bF means of "Knowledge Reports" to "Ethics", the department responsible for discipline. Vet-/recently (this year) one such Report was sent to Ethics by the step-mother about one of her closest friends) and one such Report w~s sent by the Principal of the childrenms school about a part-time member of thq.$ta~f and the parent of a child there. Thus is built up a vez7 complete dossier on every Scientologist for use if need be for the purposes I have mentioned. Dated 22 December 1972 a top priority Internal Securit~ project was circulated: "This is a top priority Internal Security project. The information I want is to be obtained froin ethics files, pc files, personnel files ahd interviews. I1: may be lhat you will only have to, ~or example, look into ,a personnel file.'

CANCELhATION OF FAIR GA.ME The practice of declaring peopte FAI~ GAME will cease. FAI~ GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations. This P/L does no~ c~ncel any policy on ~h. tr.Rtment handling of an .%P. L. RON irdH~A~D Founder " - -- - it was suggested, but not pursued, that this did cancel the F-air Game treatment. It did nothing of the kind as the Last sentence shows. Zt was cosmetic only for.public consumption. l)eprival of property, Ln~ury by any means. trickery, suing, Lying or destruction have been pursued throt~ghout and to this day with the fuZlest possible vigour. Two give two illustrations: Beginning in lg7T the Church of Scientology have conducted a campaign of persecution against Dr. Clark. They wrote letters to the Dean at the Harvard Medical School and to =he Oirector of =he Massachusetts General Hospital. They refused to gag him. Their agents =racked down and telephoned several of his patienv. s ~nd interviewed his neighbouts looking for evidence to impugn his private or personal actio. ns. They submitted a critical report =o a Committee of the ~lassachusetts State Senate. On three ~'ccasions during the last five years a Scien=ology ~'fron=" called the Citizense Commission on Human ~ights have brought complaints against him to the Massachusetts Medical Board of Registration alleging improper professional. 'conduct. In ~980 he was declared a '~Numbe.r One Enemy" and in lg81 they brought two law suits against him (summarily dismissed, but costly and worrying). They distributed leaflets at the Massachusetts General Hospital offering a $25,0OO reward to employees for evidence which would lead to his conviction on - 34 - any charge of criminal activity. They stole his employment record from another Boston hospital. They convened press conferences c~Lculated =o ruin his prof,ssional reputation. It all failed, but that is of manor importance to Sci~.ntology. "Throw enough mud and some will stick." It has caused him heavy cos= in tim~ and money And anxiety. Mr A~trong points ouc =ha~ the claim that '*Fair ~" has been cancelled is untrue. He was declared *"Fair ~e~*. They disseminated stories internationally falsely accusing him of theft, hired paid bullies to harass him and his wife day and night for over a month, threatened his life, assaulted him and hit him with a CAr. Black PTopaaanda Ry MS Policy Letter of ll May lg?l, Hubbard directed: Bla~ PR . '*Abou= the most involved emglo~ent of PR is its covert use in destroying the repute of individuals and groups. More correctly =hi~ is =ethnically called Bla~ Propa~nda." Use of the Courts *'Level '~0" ~e~sheet by L. Ron Hubbard~' : "The pu~o:e of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge an~ay, well knowing that he is no= authorised, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decelse. If possible, of course, min him utterly." Some o~ the Scientology jargon in its own doc,,ments, which I have been citing, may not be clear to someone wh~ has not h~d tn tsndergo the task o~ having them explained over the weeks.
