HIGH CRIME REPORT
"ANY FELONY AGAINST PERSON OR PROPERTY"
The above named parties, and possible unknown others, have engaged
in a coordinated conspiracy aimed at obstruction of justice, in
violation of 18 USC S 1512:
------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 73 - OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
S 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant
...
(b) Whoever knowingly uses intimidation or physical force,
threatens, or corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to
do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person,
with intent to-
...
(3) hinder, delay, or prevent the communication to a law
enforcement officer or judge of the United States of
information relating to the commission or possible
commission of a Federal offense...shall be fined not more
than $250,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or
both.
(c) Whoever intentionally harasses another person and
thereby hinders, delays, prevents, or dissuades any person from-
...
2) reporting to a law enforcement officer or judge of the
United States the commission or possible commission of a
Federal offense...
...
4) causing a criminal prosecution...to be sought or
instituted, or assisting in such prosecution or proceeding;
or attempts to do so, shall be fined not more than $25,000
or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
...
e) For the purposes of this section -
(1) an official proceeding need not be pending or about
to be instituted at the time of the offense; and
2) the testimony, or the record, document, or other
object need not be admissible in evidence or free of a
claim of privilege.
...
---------------------------------------------------------------
They have knowingly conspired to suppress and conceal, from
Scientologists, from law enforcement officials, and from any other
concerned parties, prima-facie evidence of fraud, mail fraud, and
extortion perpetrated by David Miscavige, the Chairman of the Board
of Religious Technology Center, using the expediency of fraudulent
"policy" called Scientology Policy Directives (SPDs).
This evidence, accumulated over nearly two years, was summated in a
21-page High Crime report I wrote, dated 7 March 1996. This report
was sent to IJC. Instead of investigating and reporting the federal
felonies that were thoroughly documented in the report, IJC Al
Sternson has conspired with others, particularly at OSA Int and at
RTC, to suppress this report, and to intensify a campaign designed
to threaten, intimidate, and thoroughly discredit me and several
other concerned parishioners who were writing reports addressing
these crimes.
That campaign to threaten, intimidate, and discredit me and others
had begun as early as July 7, 1995, when a false, illegal, and
fraudulent "Non-Enturbulation Order" was issued that included my
name among others. This order was based on the fraudulent type of
issue called a "Scientology Policy Directive." The order contained
fabricated lies and slanders which the writer, and the people who
approved the order (each of them operating under the color of a 501
(c)(3) corporation), knew to be false--in violation of 18 USC S1001:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 47 - FRAUD AND FALSE STATEMENTS
S 1001. Statements or entries generally
Whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department
or agency of the United States knowingly and willfully
falsifies, conceals or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device
a material fact, or makes any false, fictitious or fraudulent
statements or representations, or makes or uses any false
writing or document knowing the same to contain any false,
fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined not
more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or
both.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, it was subsequently admitted in a Scientology Justice
proceeding--a Committee of Evidence--that there was no evidence
whatsoever against me to support any of the claims made in the
non-enturbulation order. That admission was made by the Chairman of
the Committee, Wayne Carnahan, who was, at the time, the Commanding
Officer of OSA U.S. That admission is on file, inn a tape recording
I made of the committee meeting. In a brief exchange from that tape,
reproduced below, I went on to comment on how ludicrous this was
under Scientology jurisprudence:
McDONALD: "I came here certainly prepared, hopefully, to answer
any charges against me."
CARNAHAN: "Right. ..."
McDONALD: "I came here, also, to see--because, as I said in my
write-up to you, I haven't seen any K.R.'s (Knowledge Reports),
I haven't seen anything whatsoever as evidence that I've done
any of these things, and I cannnot comprehend why something from
the Hubbard Communication Office, with the force and weight of
that--Ethics Section--would bear my name, with charges against
me, if there weren't some evidence or report that I had done
some of these things. I just--I don't know in my experience in
Scientology...that a Committee of Evidence would be called and
somebody's name be put on it unless there was some evidence ..."
Yet there was none. None. The committee had not one written report,
not one witness, to support any of the false allegations that had
been made in the non-enturbulation order.
The findings and recommendations of that committee, though, have
never been allowed to see the light of day. They have been
suppressed, in supreme violation of Scientology scripture, as part
of the conspiracy to conceal the crimes of David Miscavige. And it
has required a conspiracy to keep those findings suppressed. This is
further violation of 18 USC S1512. Since that is a federal offense,
and since the corporations involved all operate under the
requirements and restrictions of 501 (c)(3), this also constitutes a
violation of 18 USC S 371:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 19 - CONSPIRACY
S 371. Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States
If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense
against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or
any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or
more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the
conspiracy, each shall be fined not more than $10,000 or
imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
...
----------------------------------------------------------------
The suppression of those findings led to my writing and submitting
the 7 March 1996 report.
Since then I have been subjected to threats and coercion (all on
file) to force me to travel to Los Angeles by interstate carrier
(imposed by the time limitations given to me) and be detained there
against my will. This was an attempted violation of 18 USC S 1201
(c):
------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 55 - KIDNAPING
S 1201. Kidnaping
(a) Whoever unlawfully seizes, confines, inveigles, decoys,
kidnaps, abducts, or carries away and holds for ransom or reward
or otherwise any person...when -
(1) the person is willfully transported in interstate or
foreign commerce;
...shall be punished by imprisonment for any term of years or
for life.
(b) With respect to subsection (a)(1), above, the failure to
release the victim within twenty-four hours after he shall have
been unlawfully seized, confined, inveigled, decoyed, kidnaped,
abducted, or carried away shall create a rebuttable presumption
that such person has been transported to interstate or foreign
commerce.
(c) If two or more persons conspire to violate this section and
one or more of such persons do any overt act to effect the
object of the conspiracy, each shall be punished by imprisonment
for any term of years or for life.
...
----------------------------------------------------------------
The overt attempts to force me to Los Angeles against my will
failed. But part of the threat used in that coercive attempt was the
threat of declaring me a Suppressive Person if I didn't come to Los
Angeles (effectively, denying me the freedom to practice my
religion). This is no part of the practice of standard Scientology.
This is an abusive and unconscionable attempt at kidnaping, using
the threat of denial of Scientology services to exert force against
me.
And when I didn't knuckle under to the threat, that threat was made
good.
On 11 June 1996, a Suppressive Person declare was issued on me by
IJC Al Sternson, and was sent to all Scientology organizations. This
is a false and fraudulent document, in further violation of 18 USC
1001, built entirely out of lies, generalities, and half-truths. The
lies are so transparent and easily proven false that it demonstrates
the desperation of those trying to conceal the federal felony crimes
of David Miscavige, and their desperate need to discredit me by any
means possible.
As merely one example, IJC Al Sternson, in the Declare order,
states:
"He (McDonald) also complains about Church policy, writing
lengthy 'reports' calculated only to enturbulate..."
Yet the Chairman of the earlier Committee of Evidence (whose
findings were suppressed by IJC) said during the committee meeting:
CARNAHAN: "I see you genuinely want to handle this. That's
what I see in your reports."
Even more damning, IJC Al Sternson cannot produce one single report
where I ever complain about Church policy; he knows, with certainty,
that I only ever wrote reports on Scientology Policy Directives
(SPDs), which he and David Miscavige fraudulently claim to be Church
policy when they are not. In fact, SPDs are the main, if not sole,
vehicle through which Miscavige, Sternson, and others named in this
report have been able to effect massive fraud, mail fraud, and
extortion--all federal offenses enumerated in earlier reports on
this subject. If actual Church policy (as written by L. Ron Hubbard)
were followed, such crimes would be impossible.
Further, in order to trump up anything to put in the Declare at all,
IJC Al Sternson had to render the sacred amnesties of our religion
null and void. I had most recently accepted an amnesty in early
1994, and an earlier one in 1986. I have, on file, the official
notifications from the church that my acceptance of the amnesties
had been duly recorded, and that I had received forgiveness for all
prior transgressions. Yet, in a putrid, despicable display of
disdain for our most basic tenets, IJC Al Sternson dredged up these
ancient transgressions, exaggerated, generalized, falsified, and
sensationalized even those, and paraded them out.
But the crimes of David Miscavige had to be concealed at all cost.
Unfortunately, once criminal activity begins, it requires more and
more criminal activity to cover it up. And so the situation
deteriorated rapidly--for those bent on committing criminal acts.
Soon after the Suppressive Person Declare was issued on me, without
scriptural foundation, people were sent (across state lines) to
Nashville by IJC Al Sternson, and/or OSA Int, and/or David
Miscavige, and/or others, in order to spread the lies about me to my
friends and professional associates, and to demand that they (my
friends and professional associates) cease all communication with
me. This was all in violation of 18 USC S 241:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 13 - CIVIL RIGHTS
S 241. Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or
intimidate any inhabitant of any State, Territory, or District
in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege
secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States,
or because of his having so exercised the same;
...
They shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more
than ten years, or both; and if death results, they shall be
subject to imprisonment for any term of years or for life.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Even though I was declared a Suppressive Person without foundation,
and without ever having the proper Ethics gradients applied to me
(according to the dictates of the scripture), yet these people had
been sent to enforce the order that I not communicate with other
Scientologists, and that I be denied access to my church or any
church official--except IJC Al Sternson, who was the chief
perpetrator of this crime against me. This was in flagrant violation
of 18 USC S 247:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 13 - CIVIL RIGHTS
S 247. Damage to religious property; obstruction of persons in
the free exercise of religious beliefs
(a) Whoever, in any of the circumstances referred to in
subsection (b) of this section -
...
(2) intentionally obstructs, by force or threat of force,
any person in the enjoyment of that person's free exercise
of religious beliefs, or attempts to do so; shall be
punished as provided in subsection (c) of this section.
(b) The circumstances referred to in subsection (a) are that -
1) in committing the offense, the defendant travels in
interstate or foreign commerce, or uses a facility or
instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce in
interstate or foreign commerce; and
(2) in the case of an offense under subsection (a)(1), the
loss resulting from the defacement, damage, or destruction
is more than $10,000.
(c) The punishment for a violation of subsection (a) of this
section shall be -
(1) if death results, a fine in accordance with this title
and imprisonment for any term of years or for life, or both;
(2) if serious bodily injury results, a fine in accordance
with this title and imprisonment for not more than ten
years, or both; and
(3) in any other case, a fine in accordance with this title
and imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Since these people who were here in Nashville had been ordered here,
their presence established without question a conspiracy to violate
my civil and constitutional rights, all based on false and
fraudulent charges against me. This conspiracy had one overriding
purpose: to discredit me completely and to cut off all lines of
communication to prevent anyone from finding out about the crimes of
David Miscavige. So this was further obstruction of justice, 18 USC
S 1512, and was further evidence and affirmation of continuing
violations of 18 USC S 241, S 371, and S 1001.
I demanded recourse. I demanded in writing that these violations of
my rights be ceased immediately and that I be given written
confirmation that all such criminal activity had ceased. No such
confirmation was ever forthcoming. (And later events involving
Matthew Veenker, described below, proved that they did not stop.)
I requested a Committee of Evidence--my right according to the
scripture.
IJC Al Sternson found a technicality to try and deny that Committee
of Evidence (letter on file): a further effort to obstruct justice.
He knew that if a fair Committee of Evidence were convened, and its
findings actually published, that the truth about David Miscavige's
crimes would come out. He had, after all, suppressed the findings of
the earlier Committee of Evidence.
I reiterated my rights in a way that he could no longer dodge. Part
of my request was that the Committee of Evidence be held in
Nashville, where I live and work. Requesting that was actually only
a formality. There was no need to request that, because it is
actually required by the scripture.
Per HCO PL 7 September AD13, "COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE, SCIENTOLOGY
JURISPRUDENCE, ADMINISTRATION OF":
"HCO AREA COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE
"The Convening Authority is the HCO Executive or Area
Secretary in the sphere of a specific central organization
or city office. It handles any matters referred to it by its
convening authority. These may include all matters relating
to the suspension or cancellation of certificates... . It
also handles ALL disputes with field auditors, students,
preclears, and members of the public." (Emphasis added)
L. RON HUBBARD
The operative word is "all." "All" means "every." "Every" means
"without exception."
But IJC Al Sternson decided to make an exception in my case, and, in
doing so, further violated the above referenced scripture, and again
attempted kidnaping. Without consulting me as to my professional
scheduling, with nothing but the most specious and hollow reasoning,
he ordered that the Committee of Evidence be convened on me IN LOS
ANGELES.
His "reasoning" for convening it in L.A., stated in a letter to me
dated 22 June 1996 (but not FAXed to me until 23 June 1996), was:
"The Non Enturbulation Order (the violation of which
resulted in the Suppressive Person Declare) was issued in Los
Angeles for acts committed in Los Angeles and all witnesses and
evidence originated in Los Angeles."
Yet he knew this was a lie. He knew this because:
1. The only possible applicable period for any alleged offenses
committed in L.A. could only be between early 1994 (when I accepted
the amnesty) and October 1994, when I moved to Nashville.
2. The 1995 Committee of Evidence (held in L.A.), with Wayne
Carnahan as Chairman, had proven conclusively that there was NOT ONE
SHRED OF EVIDENCE AGAINST ME, NOR ANY WITNESS AGAINST ME, FOR ANY OF
THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE NON-ENTURBULATION ORDER. This admission is on
tape. And IJC Al Sternson had suppressed the findings and
recommendations of that Committee.
3. IJC Al Sternson knew that the non-enturbulation order was a
fraud to begin with, based solely on the fraudulent issue type known
as SPD.
But any lie, any trick, any artifice was okay with IJC Al Sternson,
as long as it served his primary purpose: to prevent justice from
occuring and conceal the crimes of David Miscavige and others.
IJC Al Sternson also knew that another trip to L.A. would destroy me
and my family professionally and financially.
He knew, because I had laid it out in fine detail in my request,
that I could not possibly come to Los Angeles without defaulting on
contractual obligations I have here, destroying my professional
reputation with my clients and laying me open to civil suit. He knew
that any such trip would be financially and logistically and
professionally disastrous to me and to my family. I had told him
this, because it is true. I predicted, in my request, that some
effort would be made, again, to force me, against my will, to travel
to Los Angeles.
And IJC Al Sternson, in complete disregard for my professional
situation and the survival of my family and complete disregard for
the scripture, ordered that I come to Los Angeles if I wanted to get
"justice," Al Sternson's brand.
IJC Al Sternson well knows that, per the scripture referenced above:
"Refusal or failure of an Interested Party to appear results
in a recommendation of the full penalty possible in the case
for that Interested Party."
And so this was yet another transparent ploy to obstruct justice and
to ensure that I would never get a fair hearing. (If I did, David
Miscavige's federal crimes would become known!)
But IJC Al Sternson even went further to ensure no possibility of
the facts ever being seen or heard:
1. The Bill of Particulars is dated 21 June.
2. My copy wasn't FAXed to me until 23 June (date-stamped on
the FAX).
3. In an accompanying letter, IJC Al Sternson says that "The
Committee will convene in Los Angeles on June 26th, 1996 at 8 p.m."
4. The last paragraph of the Bill of Particulars says "The
Committee's Findings and Recommendations are to be submitted in
issuable form to the Convening Authority WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE
ISSUANCE OF THIS BILL OF PARTICULARS." (Emphasis added.)
Since the date of issuance is 21 June, that would mean that the
Findings and Recommendations would have to be to the Convening
Authority no later than 28 June. Since the Committee is not to
convene until 8 p.m. on 26 June, that would give them (four people)
only about 24 hours to review two years' worth of accumulated
reports and evidence, to hear all witnesses (well, IJC Al Sternson
said there were witnesses as part of his excuse for having it in Los
Angeles), and to formulate full, fair findings and recommendations
and get them into publishable form. Having served on about six
Committees of Evidence, I know that this is laughable.
It would be laughable, that is, if it weren't just one more effort
to obstruct justice in flagrant violation of 18 USC S1512. It would
be laughable if it weren't a federal offense. It would be laughable
if it weren't all a part of a conspiracy to hide the crimes of David
Miscavige.
But it is.
IJC Al Sternson and his co-conspirators have made themselves
principals in Miscavige's crimes, per 18 USC S2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
S 2. Principals
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or
aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its
commission, is punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly
performed by him or another would be an offense against the
United States, is punishable as a principal.
----------------------------------------------------------------
And now IJC Al Sternson has even become involved in concealing the
federal crime of obstruction of mail in his criminal effort to hide
the crimes of David Miscavige. In a signed confession, titled as a
"Knowledge Report," Matthew Veenker admits that he intercepted U.S.
mail that was sent to the HCO Area Secretary at Celebrity Centre
Nashville by Stephen Mitchell. The mail in question contained
testimony by Mitchell that corroborated my reports on the federal
felony crimes of David Miscavige. Veenker intercepted that
corroborative testimony before it could get to the addressee, and
sent it to IJC Al Sternson. This is yet another federal offense per
18 USC S1702:
----------------------------------------------------------------
UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 83 - POSTAL SERVICE
S 1702. Obstruction of correspondence
Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any
post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or
from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post
office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter
or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to
whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the
correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of
another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same,
shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than
five years, or both.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now IJC is covering up that federal offense, too, and his
involvement in it, as part of the cover-up of David Miscavige's
felonies.
Where and when will it stop? Not until David Miscavige, and those
who have conspired to protect him, have been brought to book for
their egregious crimes against L. Ron Hubbard, against
Scientologists, against the people of the United States, and against
mankind.
These are the most arrogant, disdainful, amoral, soulless criminals
imaginable. They hide beneath the mantle of religious leaders while
using every wile and device, and all the great power of the Church,
to render helpless and crush any who would expose them. They care
not for families. They even have implemented a form of genocide
within their own ranks, ordering that none among them have children
(the subject of a separate report).
My own daughter wrote a heartfelt plea to IJC Al Sternson, asking
if he could "fix all this." His response to this beautiful,
intelligent, caring 7-year old? None. Nothing. No response.
Arrogance. Disdain. Criminality. Protected by the cloak of religion.
And now IJC Al Sternson has turned his venom on Stephen Mitchell and
Steven's family. Within the last 36 hours, Stephen's young daughter,
Morgan, was told she couldn't attend her Brownie troop any more,
because her father "had been declared." Heartsick, the girl called
to speak to one of my sons, seeking the guidance of a friend who had
also been rendered a social pariah among his Scientology peers by
virtue of association with his father.
Of course, this is also a federal offense, because the activity she
has been ostracized from is a federally protected program, and there
can be no discrimination based on religion. But it has happened
because of the great power wielded by these base criminals from
their protected positions.
What sick, sick criminals could render this kind of "justice."
Fortunately, they are really only a few. David Miscavige, true to
the HCOB "The Criminal Mind," has surrounded himself with loyal
lieutenants who will go to any criminal lengths to mutually
reinforce "their own distorted ideas of man in general." But they
are few.
And they WILL be exposed. But how many more will suffer before they
are?
Their actions are uniformly exactly as described by L. Ron Hubbard:
"There are two uses (violently opposed to each other) to
which Scn orgs can be put. They are:
"1. To forward the advance of self and all dynamics toward
total survival.
"2. To use the great power and control of an org over others
to defend oneself.
"When a decent being goes to work in an org he uses 1.
"When a suppressive goes to work in an org he uses 2. ..."
L. Ron Hubbard
HCO PL 1 October 1967,
Admin Know-How--Uses of Orgs
The handful named in this report are suppressive. And so they do use
the great power and control of the orgs over others to defend self.
But now they have gone too far. Now they have openly committed
federal felonies, and their time is counted in days if not hours.
They have perverted and twisted and abused the Affinity, Reality,
and Communication of L. Ron Hubbard and of Scientologists one too
many times. And as LRH said:
"A true group must have a management which deals in
affinity, reality and communication, and any group is totally
within its rights, when a full and reasonable examination
discloses management in fault of perverting or cutting ARC, of
slaughtering, exiling or suspending that management. ARC is
sacred."
L. Ron Hubbard
"An Essay on Management"
The time has come to rid our church of vermin. This clique of
criminals WILL be exposed.
And so their time is measured in days if not hours. And good
riddance when they are gone.
