Seybold; Matthew James Butler and Salvatore Meo will and hereby do move this court for a Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint.This motion is made pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure fjfj 435 and 436 on the ground those cited provisions of the Complaint are irrelevant, false or improper matters inserted in the pleading. The legal argument for this motion is set forth in the accompanying memorandum of points and authorities which is filed concurrently herewith. The items to be stricken are as follows: Paragraph 5 which reads: "Various courts of law also designated Captain David Miscavige's predecessor Comn~odoreL. Ron Hubbard as the Managing Agent of the churches and corporations of Scientology which, inter alia, caused L. Ron Hubbard to go into hiding for the last seven years of his life. Plaintiff is informed and believed that staff and assets are moved among the various Scientology corporations as the circumstances may require and that "acceptable truths" and "lies" are told to deceive and defraud others including law enforcement agencies and officers, and the courts of law;" Paragraph 6, which reads: "Although CSI and its managing agent David Miscavige widely claim to have a global membership exceeding ten million people that is a falsified figure involving creative and misleading statistics. Upon information and belief, there are only 30- 50,000 currently active Scientology staff members and public members worldwide. Over the past 18 months both Scientology's worldwide membership and its global gross income have diminished by about half;" Paragraph 10, which reads: "Upon information and belief, the funds to engage in the conduct alleged of the Defendants herein waslis provided by multiple sources including but not limited to the International Association of Scientologists (the "I.A.S."), the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises ("W.I.S.E."), Narconon, the Citizen's Commission for Human Rights 2. NOTICE OF MOTION TO STRIKE ("CCHR"), various Scientology celebrity members including but not limited to Tom Cruise, John Travolta, James Packer of the Packer news and media group, Greta Van Susteran of Fox News, and others;" Paragraph 11, which reads: "At various times, in the doing of the things either alleged herein or reasonably related to the events herein, Managing Agent David Miscavige has been assisted by others, or has punished and/or violated the constitutional rights of many others, including but not limited to Lawrence ("Larry") Brennan, Vicki Azneran, Richard Azneran, Jesse Prince, Mark ("Marty") Rathbun, Michael Rinder, Stacy Brooks Young, Andre Tabayoyan, Hana Whitfield, Gerry Whitfield, Ken Hoden, Lawrence Wollersheim, Gerry Armstrong, Marc Headley and Jason Beghe;" Paragraph 19, which reads: "In mid January 2008 a biography of Tom Cruise was published by Andrew Morton. Almost simultaneously a Scientology recruiting video starring Tom Cruise was uploaded to the worldwide web of the Internet. CSI, through its attorneys, then used copyright claims to try and prevent continued distribution and viewing of the Scientology recruiting film in which, among other things, Tom Cruise claims to "smash Suppressive Persons" [critics of Scientology] such as the Plaintiff into "a mere footnote in history" and he encourages other Scientologists to similarly engage in the same unlawful andlor anti-social conduct Upon information and belief, Tom Cruise has also offered to personally "beat the living [bleep] out of disobedient Scientologists." Upon further information and belief, Scientology leader Captain David Miscavige has held out Tom Cruise's conduct and statements as an ideal example for Scientologists such as the individual defendants herein. Plaintiff alleges that this is part of the attitudes, gestalt, policies and procedures that legally, directly and proximately caused the Plaintiff to suffer general and special damages, inter alia, as alleged herein;" Paragraph 20 which reads: "CSI and its managing agent David Miscavige maintain a policy and practice of "Command Intention." During the lifetime of L. Ron Hubbard "command intention'' referred to what Commodore Hubbard wanted to be done or what Scientology upper management wanted to be done in accordance with the Scientology policy and practice letter known as "Keeping Scientology Working No. 1 " or "KSW 1 ." After managing agent David 3. NOTICE OF MOTION TO STRIKE 1 Miscavige extorted and seized control of the Scientology enterprise from Hubbard's appointed 2 successors Pat and Annie Broeker, and after he terrorized and extorted certain of the Hubbard 3 family heirs and seizedlstole portions of the Hubbard family inheritances, David Miscavige 4 altered or "squirreled" numerous Scientology policies contrary to its "Doctrine of Source and Command Intention" took on the meaning of what David Miscavige or "DM" wanted done. In accordance with DM'S "Command Intention," various of the "Suppressive Person'' policies and 6 practices are used against persons such as the Plaintiff herein, and were used against the Plaintiff 7 herein, by the Defendants acting jointly and/or severally. Within the Scientology/CSI/BMS 8 enterprise, "Command Intention" also mandates that any Scientology staff member is able to 9 "make it go right" and to do whatever is required for the good of the greatest number of 10 Scientologists. In other words, Defendants have copyrighted secular policies and practices 11 providing, in pertinent parts, that the Plaintiff had "no civil rights," that he could be "utterly 4""8h 12 4 wx destroyed" by any means "by any Scientologist without any penalty to that Scientologist," and &o. w-5 13 rggkk-5 that the ends justify the means whether lawful or unlawful. Upon information and belief, the l4 5yu Defendants used these secular policies and practices in their conduct and handling of the Plaintiff :::3 w' $mZ as alleged herein;" 4N2 2~ 16 Paragraph 23 which reads: "In or about February andlor March 2008 CSI inter alia engaged in conduct against Anonymous in general, and later against the Plaintiff in particular, in furtherance of the secular "Suppressive Persons" policies and practices previously copyrighted by CSI. In accordance with express and mandatory provisions of these copyrighted secular policies and practices, CSI's objective against the Plaintiff and his associates was to "intimidate," "harass," "silence" and "utterly destroy" those engaged in first amendment speech and association that was either critical of the alleged crimes and abuses of the Church of Scientology or CSI's objective of a Scientology ruled global totalitarian political state, medical, business and social system compared by many to the vision of George Orwell's novel 1984. The related objectives of CSl included identifying, exposing, persuading, harassing, intimidating, arresting, prosecuting and psycho-terrorizing the Anonymous and other participants in the Anonymous movement in general and the Plaintiff in particular from engaging in any other First Amendment 4.

"Cease and desist" protesting against Scientology letters were prepared by law firms both large and small and they were delivered by Scientology volunteers, employees, private investigators and others to identified Anonymous protestors including but not limited to the Plaintiff herein, their parents, neighbors, colleges, and employers.

  • Headley V. Church of Scientology International As an Argument for Placing Limits on the Ministerial Exception from Clergy Disputes
    DO NOT DELETE 3/27/2012 4:46 PM NOTES CLOSING A LOOPHOLE: HEADLEY V. CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL AS AN ARGUMENT FOR PLACING LIMITS ON THE MINISTERIAL EXCEPTION FROM CLERGY DISPUTES MOLLY A. GERRATT* ABSTRACT In 2009, Marc and Claire Headley sued the Church of Scientology International and its affiliate, Religious Technology Center, for violating the Trafficking Victims’ Protection Act (“TVPA”) and for forcing Claire to undergo two abortions. The case was thrown out at the summary judgment phase because the Headleys were considered “ministers” of the Church of Scientology. Under the judicially created “ministerial exception”—an exemption never explicitly endorsed by the U.S. Supreme Court—ministers are barred from suing their religious employer for disputes arising during the course of their employment. Because of the ministerial exception, the * Class of 2012, University of Southern California Gould School of Law; A.B. Classical Studies, A.B. English 2009, Georgetown University.

  • Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike Mcclaughry 1999
    Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike McClaughry 1999 The following is a Time Track that I put together for myself and some friends at the time, in 1999. I originally used the pseudonym “Theta” at the request of Greg Barnes until he was ready to “go public” with his defection from Scientology. I also used the pseudonym “Theta 8-8008” around this same time period. Bernd Luebeck, Ex-Guardian’s Office Intelligence and then Ron’s Org staff ran the website www.freezone.org. In 1999, just after my time track was released privately, Bernd used it on his website as-is. He later expanded on my original time track with items of interest to himself. Prior to my doing this time track, Bernd, (nor anyone else involved with Scientology on the internet), had ever thought of the idea to do things this way in relation to Scientology. Mike McClaughry BEGIN An open letter to all Scientologists: Greetings and by way of introduction, I am a Class 8, OT 8, who has been in the Church for many decades and I am in good standing with the Church. I am a lover of LRH’s technology and that is my motivation in writing you and in doing what I am now doing. It came to my attention, sometime in the not too distant past, that the current top management of the Church, particularly David Miscavige, is off source. One of the ways he is off-source is that he has made the same mistake as the old Guardian’s Office staff made, engaging in criminal activities to solve problems.

  • True Nyms and Crypto Anarchy
    True Nyms and Crypto Anarchy Timothy C. May One of the biggest issues in cyberspace these days, one that will continue to be an issue as long as there is such a venue as the Internet, is the safety of communication from prying eyes. In the detailed and persuasive essay that follows, Tim May, formerly a physicist at Intel and one of the founding members of the Cypherpunks, discusses the big issues involved—invasion of privacy, the specter of government interference in personal affairs, the use of electronically forwarded information by a variety of people, entities, and organizations for purposes other than those intended by the forwarder … these are all issues of tremendous importance to anyone who uses the Internet —and that means just about everyone, in one way or another. In a previous age, these issues were not of such great importance, for there was never the possibility that anyone could find and gather enough information to do harm to others in the ways that are now possible with the Internet. Today, however … Read Tim May’s essay and you’ll never feel quite as safe as you did a moment before you read these pages. This article was written in 1996. 25 The Impact of True Names “True Names” came to my attention in 1986, when a friend of mine gave me a dog-eared Xerox copy and said “You need to read this.” But before I even started reading this samizdat edition, the Bluejay Books trade paperback edition appeared and that’s what I read, saving my eyesight and giving Vernor Vinge his proper cut of the action.

  • The Histories and Origins of Memetics
    Betwixt the Popular and Academic: The Histories and Origins of Memetics Brent K. Jesiek Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Science and Technology Studies Gary L. Downey (Chair) Megan Boler Barbara Reeves May 20, 2003 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: discipline formation, history, meme, memetics, origin stories, popularization Copyright 2003, Brent K. Jesiek Betwixt the Popular and Academic: The Histories and Origins of Memetics Brent K. Jesiek Abstract In this thesis I develop a contemporary history of memetics, or the field dedicated to the study of memes. Those working in the realm of meme theory have been generally concerned with developing either evolutionary or epidemiological approaches to the study of human culture, with memes viewed as discrete units of cultural transmission. At the center of my account is the argument that memetics has been characterized by an atypical pattern of growth, with the meme concept only moving toward greater academic legitimacy after significant development and diffusion in the popular realm. As revealed by my analysis, the history of memetics upends conventional understandings of discipline formation and the popularization of scientific ideas, making it a novel and informative case study in the realm of science and technology studies. Furthermore, this project underscores how the development of fields and disciplines is thoroughly intertwined with a larger social, cultural, and historical milieu. Acknowledgments I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family, friends, and colleagues for their invaluable encouragement and assistance as I worked on this project.

  • “He Killed Her”
    FIFTEEN “He Killed Her” On July 3, 2003, I was at my wit’s end. My investigation was threatening to break up my marriage and drive me mad. I had developed yet one more nervous tick. Now I had a habit of bending my head down and running my fingers through my hair. I was looking to see if the mic was sticking out again—even when I wasn’t at work, even when I wasn’t recording. The long Fourth of July weekend was here and I resented it. I resented the idea of three torturous days at home, unable to think about anything except finding out the truth about Alcor. I dreaded being away from the office. Now it was two days until the first anniversary of Ted Williams’s death. When would it end? I needed to take matters into my own hands and force the situation. I wired myself up and marched into Joe Hovey’s office. He was one of the longest-serving Alcorians and seemed to know the entire history of the place. He also knew that people around the office were plotting and planning to oust him. Maybe these shifting sands would make him eager to have a friendly conversation with me. I started off by telling Joe that Charles had mentioned Mike Darwin and the John Dentinger incident to me. I led him to believe I knew more than I actually did. Still, Joe wasn’t exactly keen at first to volunteer information about homicide. 239 So I changed tack and hoped to steer the conversation back to the subject of the suspicious deaths in a roundabout way.
