Elf!
Look! I've put your name up in lights in my response to "Ghurt." I
decided it's time he and the Diminutive Mastermind became aware that
their machinations are being recorded for posterity.
As I said I would do in my last traffic to you, I have provided Mr.
Weiland with a very specific, reasoned agenda for a meeting in L.A.
I have spelled it out in great detail. I hope he is as pleased as I
am to learn that we are so close to a meeting of the minds. I have
grave misgivings, though, that he may not embrace my proposed agenda
enthusiastically. Call me pessimistic.
I have laid all the cards on the table. You might note that they
include four Aces. You haven't known about them, nor, perhaps, about
some of the others listed in the routing. I've never been good at
introductions.
Well, I suppose we'll just have to see what the other hand holds. I
call Mr. Weiland's hand in my 9 May letter, but he still refuses to
lay down what he holds.
Could it be that he can't?
Is anyone in the Church ever going to face up to the facts? I
despair of it. I despair. Here is response to Mr. Weiland.

Re: Yours of 13 May 1996
Dear Mr. Weiland:
Thank you for your FAXed letter. I'm sorry to have been this long
getting back to you, but your letter arrived while I was under
extreme deadline pressures for a presentation to the senior
executives of a major national corporation, and I have been working
on it and other extreme deadlines nearly around the clock. (I'm
happy to report that the presentation landed the account!)
I read your letter with great interest, and I believe we may be very
close to a resolution.
In Para. 5 of your letter, you say:
"I will provide you with exact references and information which
address the specific points you have raised in your reports."
This is very heartening indeed, and gives me great hope for clearing
up matters which have been of the gravest concern to me (and others)
for some time. For the sake of clarification and specificity, I'd
like to summarize some of the more important points I have raised in
my reports (which you mention above), and would appreciate your
written confirmation that you will be providing me with exact
references and information which directly address these specific
points:
1. The fraudulent use of LRH's name, the trademarks of Dianetics
and Scientology, church facilities, church bank accounts, and
church personnel to create, package, promote and sell works
which have been altered and/or abridged without saying so.
2. The fraudulent use of LRH's name, the trademarks of Dianetics
and Scientology, church facilities, church bank accounts, and
church personnel to create, package, promote and sell works
which are an undifferentiated mixture of the writings of LRH and
the writings of unknown others.
3. The use of the United States postal system for carrying out this
fraud.
4. The fraudulent claim that Scientology Policy Directives (SPDs)
are church policy.
5. The patent, irrefutable contradiction of LRH's writings by SPDs.
6. The use of SPDs to create off-policy organizations, then
misrepresenting these as bona fide Scientology organizations.
7. The use of SPDs and the IAS to divert tens of millions of
dollars away from Scientology organizations (extortion and
fraud).
8. The use of SPDs to extort compliance from church officials and
staff to off-policy programs, projects, and orders.
9. The knowledge of and complicity of David Miscavige in all the
above.
Although this list is inclusive, not exclusive, and although I (and
others) are already in possession of ample evidence on every single
point listed above, I feel that if you do, indeed, have references
and information directly concerning the above points (as you
generally promise in your letter), that could augment the
substantial body of evidence already collected, we may be very, very
close to a resolution that would satisfy the test of "greatest good
for the greatest number of dynamics."
So I anxiously await your written confirmation that your documents
specifically address all the above points, and I would also
naturally expect a written assurance from you that:
A. You are in no way a party to any of the described felonies or
crimes, and,
B. You are actively and aggressively investigating these crimes and
are taking steps to bring these criminal activities to an
immediate halt, as well as identifying any perpetrators or
accomplices, and,
C. You are operating within the parameters of Church policy (HCO
PLs) and prevailing law to bring the perpetrators to justice,
and,
D. You are sufficiently neutral and judiciously disinterested to
carry out an unbiased investigation of the above, and are free
to act on your findings, no matter where they point or what
actions must be taken to see Justice done.
Once I have your unambiguous confirmation, in writing, of the above,
I assure you that I will move heaven and earth to do whatever is
necessary to help you bring order and effect Justice.
Whether or not a lack of response on your part might be indicative
of tacit involvement, I know that, for me, it would give rise to
some misgivings about your actual motivation in making these efforts
to get me to travel to L.A. I would have to conclude that you were
being less than candid.
And in order to be perfectly candid myself, I must tell you frankly
that I get the idea--from the careful wording of your letter, from
things that you said to my wife and to me on the phone, from a
recent SPD written by your senior, Mike Rinder, and from your own
recent misguided efforts to obtain data on me from people who have
never even met me--that you do not view any of this as a situation
that must be handled with the tools of Scientology Justice exactly
and standardly applied to the secular felonies and the
ecclesiastical Crimes and High Crimes I described in my reports; I
get the idea, instead, that you believe that you are merely dealing
with the unfounded fulminations of a few malcontents who, if
declared and/or coerced or lured into an HCO Sec Check, can be made
to knuckle under and quieten down, and that then it will all go
away.
So let me assure you of one unassailable fact: it will not go away.
And I say this from the vantage point of a ten-foot high board
fence.
No matter how many messengers you shoot, Mr. Weiland, the secular
felonies and the ecclesiastical Crimes and High Crimes remain.
And the messengers you take aim on are not the ones who have
committed any of them. Nor are they the ones who, at this moment, as
I type, are perpetrating and perpetuating them.
So if there is any possibility that you, in fact, take the position
that no felonies and Crimes and High Crimes have been committed as
described in my reports, if you believe that the situations I have
described do not exist except, perhaps, in my festering reactive
mind, if you believe that by "handling" me it will all go away, or
if you are in fact a perpetrator or supporter of the felonies
described here and in my reports, then of course there is no need
for further correspondence.
I have no punitive agenda against David Miscavige or you or anyone
else who has knowingly or unknowingly been a party to the matters
listed in my reports and in this letter. It is now and has always
been my sincerest and direst wish that these issues would be
addressed completely under the aegis of Church policy and
Scientology Justice and would be resolved internally. And my efforts
to bring that about are well (and safely) documented.
But if the officers (including you) who are responsible for making
that happen within the Church structure can't or won't, for whatever
reason, act on clear, incontrovertible evidence of wrongdoing, if
they steadfastly refuse to bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to
justice, and instead embark on a foolish and hopeless campaign to
attack the very Scientologists who are making a good-faith effort to
bring these weighty matters to the attention of the responsible
officers, then those officers have forfeited any claim to the rights
and privileges of their office, and lay themselves rightfully open
and liable to charges of complicity, and to any penalties such
complicity might incur.
I sincerely hope you are not in that position. If you are, I hope
you will give due and careful consideration to the possible
consquences before you take your next step in this matter. In fact,
I believe you should seek counsel from someone versed in criminal
law.
I want to share with you a quote from LRH:
"We are slowly and carefully teaching the unholy a lesson.
It is as follows: 'We are not a law enforcement agency. BUT we
will become interested in the crimes of people who seek to stop
us. If you oppose Scientology we promptly look up--and will find
and expose--your crimes. If you leave us alone we will leave you
alone.'
"It's very simple. Even a fool can grasp that.
"And don't underrate our ability to carry it out."
L. Ron Hubbard
HCO B 5 November 1967,
CRITICS OF SCIENTOLOGY
You can grasp that. I am applying this technology. And will continue
to.
I never sought to be dealing with any of these matters at all. I
certainly didn't create them. But here I am. And I cannot deny
responsibility for what I (and quite a few others, now) know.
As LRH also says:
"We're not playing some minor game in Scientology. It isn't
cute or something to do for lack of something better.
"The whole agonized future of this planet, every Man, Woman
and Child on it, and your own destiny for the next endless
trillions of years depends on what you do here and now with and
in Scientology.
"This is a deadly serious activity. And if we miss getting
out of the trap now, we may never again have another chance.
"Remember, this is our first chance to do so in all the
endless trillions of years of the past. Don't muff it now
because it seems unpleasant or unsocial to do Seven, Eight, Nine
and Ten."
L. Ron Hubbard
"Keeping Scientology Working"
So please don't mistake anything I have said in this or any other
correspondence as a lack of resolve. The points I have listed in my
reports must be and will be effectively addressed and terminatedly
handled, whatever that takes. I hope you will be among those who are
getting that job done.
If you, instead, insist on protecting the reputation or corporate
position of one man, David Miscavige, at whatever cost, if you
choose to put that crusade above your duties to L. Ron Hubbard,
above Keeping Scientology Working, above your responsibilities to
the dynamics in making sure the LRH's tech remains free, then you
have set your own course.
Please don't muff it now, Mr. Weiland. So much depends on what you
do, here and now, with and in Scientology.
Revinimus,
Jon Randall McDonald
P.S. Mr. Rinder said something extremely curious in his SPD of 21
April 1996, "PERSONAL INCOME TAX--ADDITIONAL." He said that LRH
advised Church leaders "...to institute Scientology Policy
Directives." I'm as curious as any Scientologist would be about
where that advice appears in Church scripture, and also about how
any Church leader could ever be lead into believing, even if such
advice actually exists somewhere, that mere advice could in some way
override HCO PLs. Mr. Rinder creates a "mystery sandwich," which is
fabulous for making people want to find out and to actually SEE the
thing. I'm sure the demand will become voluminous. Now, what follows
is just wild speculation, but...is there any remote possibility that
this advice came, in the best tradition of Moses, via David
Miscavige? And is it possible that it is contained in a missive that
is signed only by an * (asterisk), or a typed R? I'm merely curious,
you understand, and feel certain that countless others will also
want the details, now that Mr. Rinder has made it public knowledge.
Is it one of the documents you'll be showing me? --JRM
P.P.S. Re: Where You Are Looking For Other Copies of My Report and
Supporting Evidence--Cold. Very, very, cold. Freezing. Approaching
absolute zero. Or, to mix metaphors, barking up a palm and calling
it a tree. Learn your trade if you are expecting to continue in the
post you are on.--JRM
P.P.P.S. I received in the mail a bolt out of the blue: a
correspondence from a person I have not seen or heard from since
1986. His name is Rueben Hart, and he used to be on lines at
Celebrity Centre when I was on staff there. I am FAXing his letter
to you and will not be responding to it, because I heard somewhere
that he was declared; I understand that he left Scientology and went
over to Mayo's outfit. Anyway, I thought you ought to know about it,
because I was shocked to learn that he had somehow gotten wind of my
report all the way out in Tucson. Also because he is reportedly
declared, and I believe that your organization handles this sort of
thing.--JRM
P.P.P.P.S. The Four Aces are entirely unknown to you and out of your
reach. Sealed copies of all documents include detailed instructions
on what to do should anything untoward happen to me or to my close
friends or family, or upon receipt of notice that I have been
expelled from Scientology.--JRM
P.P.P.P.PS. I am always willing to talk, whenever that becomes your
real intent, whenever you would actually like to get this sorted out
and resolved, with careful thought given to handling this rather
sticky wicket. I am enclosing a proposed handling which follows in
this FAXed communication.--JRM
PROPOSED AGENDA FOR RESOLUTION TO THE MATTERS AT HAND
1. David Miscavige resigns his position for whatever reason anyone
cares to give, as long as it does not cast the slightest taint on
LRH, MSH, or Scientology. He does steps A to E exactly per policy.
It will include apologies to LRH and MSH for his efforts to degrade
and discredit both.
2. An Urgent Directive, issued BPI, cancels ALL SPDs and "Senior
C/S International Bulletins." This Urgent Directive explains that
these are not valid issues per HCO PL "ISSUES, TYPES OF."
3. Any operational points that have been addressed by SPD that
actually need addressing (if there are any) get rapidly reissued
correctly in an issue type covered by HCO PL "ISSUES, TYPES OF."
4. A Committe of Evidence is convened to fully investigate the
felonies, Crimes and High Crimes of Miscavige, to discover who
actively supported these acts and contributed to them, and to effect
justice exactly per Scientology policy. My report is part of the
evidence they consider.
5. All publications that are "based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard"
are recalled and cancelled. Orgs are credited for any monies that
have been paid for such publications, and can order an equivalent
amount in genuine LRH books, tapes, etc.
6. A second Urgent Directive, also issued BPI, solicits the help of
every Scientologist everywhere to locate and report any known or
suspected alterations of LRH tapes or writings. A major programme is
launched to get any and all such altered tapes or writings corrected
and republished.
7. A second Committee of Evidence is called to look into the
creation and operation of the IAS, and its relationship to HCO PLs
and the HASI. A full accounting gets published broadly of its
financial operations since its inception.
8. A third Committee of Evidence is called to look into the
agreement that was forged with the IRS and to report its findings to
all Scientologists.
9. A fourth Committee of Evidence is called to reconcile your
organization, OSA, with existing policy and to publish its findings
to all Scientologists.
This may not be complete, but would certainly go a very long way
toward handling the current situations. It would be quite a bit of
work. But then, it took quite a bit of work by somebody to create
this mess, didn't it? And, all things considered, correcting it is
really relatively simple and prosurvival, when one carefully weighs
the alternatives.
