JD:
I am asking everyone to please hold off on sending any of my
materials out, because I still hope to get this handled on Church
lines. I am requesting a Committee of Evidence, which is my right
per Policy. It is absolutely incumbent on me, and on everyone who
has been privy to any or all of what has transpired, to make every
good-faith effort to standardly apply Scientology ethics and justice
policy. If those in power actively prevent its standard application,
then so be it. But I must try.
I still retain copyrights on everything I have written on this
subject, and except for specific okays I have granted to each of you
to make secure duplicates for archiving, I am not granting anyone
the right to utilize my writings to take this outside of the Church
at the moment. Perhaps this data *should* be made know to law
officials, but I have made it known to the proper Church officials
who are legally bound by fiduciary responsibility to make it known
to the appropriate law officials. And perhaps one or more of *them*
will come to *their* senses, if not so intimidated by OSA, DM, and
company. And perhaps just one person taking a stand on the side of
LRH and policy will at least set *some* kind of example.
I don't know. And right now I don't care if anybody else ever takes
a stand. I am. And I will not be persuaded otherwise.
I have been libled beyond belief by these inane, vapid issues that
have spewed forth from IJC. But I still insist on taking every
possible recourse available to me within the structure of LRH's
policy.
Please. All. Stand firm.
Randy

Re: Suppressive Person Declare, FCO 12212
Ref:HCO PL 23 December 1965,
"ETHICS
SUPPRESSIVE ACTS
SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS
THE FAIR GAME LAW"
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to and in strict accordance with the above referenced
Policy Letter, I am writing to claim that the Suppressive Person
Declare which was written on me (also referenced above) is false,
and to request a Committee of Evidence for recourse and for redress
of wrongs.
In specific, let me address each relevant part of the Policy Letter:
"...(A) person or group may be falsely labeled a Suppressive Person
or Group."
I assert that this is the case: that I have been falsely
labeled, and that, given any fair hearing before an impartial
body, I can prove beyond any doubt that I have been falsely
labeled.
"Should the person or group claim the label to be false..."
I do so hereby emphatically claim the label to be false.
"...he, she or they may request a Committee of Evidence via their
nearest HCO."
I do so hereby request a Committee of Evidence. You are my
nearest HCO, so this is going via you. I also completed my last
service at CC Nashville, and so am a parishioner on CC
Nashville's lines, and so am properly within your jurisdiction
per HCO PL 7 September AD13, "COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE,
SCIENTOLOGY JURISPRUDENCE, ADMINISTRATION OF."
"The executive with the power to convene a Committee of Evidence
must do so if one is requested for recourse or redress of wrongs."
I do so hereby request the Committee of Evidence for
recourse and for redress of wrongs. Per the Policy, as quoted
above, this request must be granted. Also, per HCO PL 7
September AD13, "COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE, SCIENTOLOGY
JURISPRUDENCE, ADMINISTRATION OF," this requested Committee of
Evidence is fully within the purview and authority of the
Convening Authority at CC Nashville, and since that would be
"The executive with the power to convene a Committee of
Evidence," it would follow, per these policies, that the
Committee of Evidence would be convened here. And I hereby so
request that it be convened here. That would be in accordance
with these policies, and would be the only logical course of
action, since:
a) I live here.
b) I am a parishioner on CC Nashville's lines.
c) My livelihood and the livelihood of my family depend
utterly on my being here on a daily basis, since I freelance and
am on-call constantly for my clients.
d) Any extended period of time away from my work would be
disastrous to my established trade and income and to the
survival of my family.
e) There is no compelling reason whatsoever to convene the
Committee of Evidence anywhere else; any such requirement would
constitute the introduction of an arbitrary, a very destructive
arbitrary which would place an unnecessary and overwhelming
burden on me and my family, and would render the realization of
actual recourse and justice in this matter impossible for me to
attain.
f) The executives and staff at CC Nashville are fully
competent to apply Scientology Justice policies and to conduct a
Committee of Evidence standardly and on-policy.
g) Per the policy referenced at the top of this request: "It
is wise for any Scientologist, HCO Secretary or Committee of
Evidence in matters concerning Suppressive Acts to obtain valid
documents, letters, testimonies duly signed and witnessed,
affidavits duly sworn to and other matters and evidences which
would have weight in a court of law. Momentary spite, slander
suits, charges of Scientology separating families, etc, are then
guarded against." If this policy is going to be applied fairly,
justly, and correctly, then any evidence that anyone claims to
have against me can be delivered to the Committee in the forms
specified above.
For the many reasons stated above, all firmly supported by policy,
I request that the Committee of Evidence be convened and held at CC
Nashville.
It is my belief, based on events of the last several months, that
there will be an effort from some quarter to force me to go to L.A.
if I want a Committee of Evidence. I say this based on the fact that
Kurt Weiland, D/CO of OSA Int, has made repeated efforts in recent
weeks to get me to "come to L.A. and talk face-to-face" (traffic on
file). As this kind of "handling" (for standard reports I have
written) is nowhere in Policy, and as it would have placed an
impossible burden on me and on my family--logistically, financially,
and professionally--I steadfastly declined his invitations to "come
to L.A." despite the fact that part of the duress placed on me to do
so was the threat of being declared if I didn't (also on file).
Since this threat has now been made good, it would surprise me if
there were not, now, an arbitrary entered in: that the only place I
can get a Committee of Evidence is in L.A. This, of course, would be
an arbitrary and nothing but, as a reading of policies on Committees
of Evidence will reveal. There simply is no supportable reason why I
should be uprooted from my home, my job, my family, and forced to
travel 2,000 miles, and to stay away from my work and livelihood for
an indeterminate amount of time, in order to face a Committee of
Evidence and deal with actual evidence against me--if there is any.
The tired old trick of saying it will have to be in L.A. for
"security reasons" may be trotted out--without, of course, providing
any substantive basis for why "security" should be a consideration.
Well, I sure don't have anything to hide. Does somebody else? If
not, then the Committee of Evidence will be convened in Nashville,
where it makes sense to have it, and where Justice can surely and
without question be accomplished.
As a final note in this request for recourse and redress of wrongs,
I would like to state that the Declare is composed exclusively of
generalities, half-truths, and utter, fabricated falsehoods. It is
slander of the most heinous and despicable sort. It makes the
National Enquirer look like a model of truth-in-print. It is,
itself, a sick mockery of HCO PL 2 June 1965, "WRITING OF AN ETHICS
ORDER." Examples:
1) "He (McDonald) went so far as to publically support
infiltrators and attackers of the Church."--Not one specific is
given, because this is a bald-faced lie that cannot be supported.
2) "Not surprisingly, he has complained that he makes no case
gain."--Another completely fabricated lie. My files are full of rave
success stories about the amazing, untold, miraculous wins I have
had from Life Repair, ARC Straightwire, Objectives, Full Drug
Rundown, Standard Dianetics, The Primary Rundown, M-1 Word Clearing,
The Purification Rundown, ALL Expanded Grades, attesting to Clear,
the HQS, Admin and Ethics courses and hats...on and on. I owe my
very existence to LRH and to his miraculous technology; I have never
uttered one word to the contrary, and have never experienced
anything short of miracles from any Dianetics or Scientology.
Whoever says otherwise is a black-souled liar, and I pray for the
opportunity to tell them that to their face.
3) "Instead he chose to blow from the Sea Org, along with his
wife."--Yet another complete lie. A 1987 Committee of Evidence at CC
Int verified that we didn't blow. We were Fitness Boarded out of the
Sea Org.
It would be easy to go on, point-by-point, but that is the job of
the Committee. I include these examples merely to show to what
lengths someone has gone to try and paint me in the worst possible
light, without regard to truth.
Therefore I write this request so that these unfounded and
unconscionable accusations against me can be examined by an
impartial body and so I can get recourse through standard Justice
procedure.
I further specifically request that the Committee, in accordance
with policy, be convened swiftly, and, also per policy, that it
complete its investigation within the proscribed seven days. The
false and slanderous allegations made against me in this Declare
have already had serious repercussions on my family and on my
profession, and these can only become compounded the longer this
gross injustice is allowed to stand uncorrected.
As this matter is of the utmost concern to me, I am FAXing this for
speed. I would appreciate it if you could acknowledge receipt of
this letter by return FAX. My FAX number is: (615) 367-3896. To send
a FAX to that number, it is not necessary to listen on a handset for
a FAX tone; simply dial the number and start transmission.
Thank you for your swift attention to this request. I am confident
that policy will be followed, and therefore that this request, as it
must, will be quickly granted.
Sincerely,
Jon Randall McDonald
