If the event seemed important enough to include, yet no exact day--or, in some cases, no month--was given, the indication "c." (for circa) has been put AFTER the information (day or month) in question. As an example, an event known to have occurred in June of 1974, but without certainty as to the actual day, might be listed as "Saturday, 1 c. June 1974." If only a month and year are known (as in the example just given), and there is no indication of, e.g., "late June," then the event has usually been assigned arbitrarily to the 1st or the 15th of the indicated month, unless surrounding events indicate a different, more likely day of the month. The weekday names (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) have been included as additional data. If the only indication of the time of the event was "mid-1974," then the entry might read "Saturday, 1 c. June c. 1974, indicating that the month, too, is estimated from the language of the referenced source. Only rarely have incidents been included where the only information available is a givien year. When it seemed important enough to include in the Time Line, it was put, usually, at 1 c. January c. of the given year, or at 1 c. July c. of the given year, whichever seemed most likely--mainly as a "bookmark" for the event, pending more exact dating. Every effort has been made to isolate, as closely as possible, the exact date for each event. If anyone has any more accurate information about any event described herein, please post it to the newsgroup, "alt.religion.scientology." ====================== 1979-1980 ====================== Monday, 05 February 1979 The Associated Press, February 5, 1979, AM cycle, DATELINE: WASHINGTON: "A second judge has removed himself from presiding over the pending trial of 11 members of the church of Scientology accused of stealing government documents and planting bugging devices in government offices. "Federal District Judge Louis Oberdorfer decided monday he would not preside over the case because of a possible conflict ofinterest. Government lawyers pointed out that Oberdorfer [headed?] the tax division in the Justice Department at a time when the division was investigation the tax-exempt status of the church. "Last month, Judge George L. Hart jr. stepped down after the defendants noted that government documents accused them of conducting illegal surveillance against Hart...."

March 1979 LRH moves into an apartment in Hemet, California, after having allegedly "hidden out" for some unspecified amount of time in a motel in the San Jacinto mountains, due to a former staff member, Ed Walters, having gone to the FBI with LRH's whereabouts. His only companions in the mountains and on moving to Hemet are allegedly Mike and Kima Douglas. SOURCE: Bare Faced Messiah, Chapter 21 Thursday, 01 c. March 1979 LRH, along with three other leaders of Scientology--including Georges Andreu, former head of the movement's French branch--are convicted in absentia of fraud in Paris, are levied fines, and given suspended sentences. [NOTE: Date is reckoned from the date of the appeal ruling in the case of Andreu; see entry for 29 February 1980, which says the convictions took place "a year ago."BUT, see also 8 January 1976, as the actual appeal court ruling claims (in what appears to be a fair-to-poor French-to-English translation) that to be the date of the actual conviction. See OUTPOINTS, below.] OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS: The newspaper account says one thing--putting the conviction at around this date--but the actual appeal ruling, if it can be understood, says Andreu (and LRH, et. al) was convicted on 8 January 1976. There seems to be a good deal of confusion surrounding this entire event.

Upon consideration of this uncontested evidence and in accordance with the Disposition Agreement, the court found appellants guilty as follows: Hubbard, Heldt, Snider, Willardson, Weigand and Wolfe, of conspiracy to obstruct justice and other offenses (Count 23); Hermann, of conspiracy to burglarize government offices and steal documents (Count 1); and Thomas, of misdemeanor theft of government property (Count 17)." OUTPOINTS: ADDED INAPPLICABLE OBJECTION: The government had set up the agreement, then "objected." Sure.

"But Assistant U.S. Attorney Raymond Banoun, chief prosecutor in the case, said the government would appeal the judge's decision. "U.S. District Judge Charles R. Richey ruled that the government can present its case against the Scientologists through a written court record without holding a trial. "Richey said he would then rule, on the basis of the written record, that each defendant is guilty of one count in a 28-count indictment. "The judge's ruling stemmed from plea bargaining between the prosecutors and defense attorneys that has been underway for several weeks. "The Scientologists had insisted that the government backed out of the agreement for the so-called 'stipulated record' while the government claimed there never was such an agreement. "Richey's ruling Monday said that a verbal agreement was made on Sept. 23 and ordered that it be put into effect. "The Scientologists had asked for the stipulated record so they could retain their right of appeal, a right they would lose if they simply pleaded guilty. "...Under the agreement Richey put into effect: "Seven defendants will be found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The defendants are Mary Sue Hubbard, wife of the church's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, Henning Heldt, Duke Snider, Richard Weigand, Gregory Willardson, Cindy Raymond and Gerald Bennett Wolfe. "Defendant Mitchell Hermann will be found guilty of conspiracy to illegally obtain government documents, which also carries a maximum five-year jail term and $10,000 fine. "Defendant Sharon Thomas, who the government says worked in the Justice Department as part of the conspiracy, will be found guilty of an as-yet unspecified misdemeanor theft count.

"Scientology attorneys had argued strenuously that the papers should be sealed because they would "irreparable injury" to the church. "The public availability of the dozen cartons of government-seized documents - the basis of last week's conspiracy convication of nine top chruch officials - was in doubt until U.S. District Judge Charles R. Richey issued his ruling. "Scientologists sought to reclaim the papers, or at least block their release to the media on grounds they no longer were crucial to the government's case. "But Richey, who personally reviewed the material, ruled the Scientologists' argument invalid. "The papers [are] among more than 40 cartons of evidence seized during an FBI raid at the cult's Losa Angeles headquarters in July 1978... ." "Richey also rejected the Scientologist's compromise request that if the documents were not returned, they at least should be kept sealed. "...Scientologists asked for the restraining order Thursday night after Richey released documents showing the sect kept dossiers and ran 'rumour campaigns' against public officials and private medical groups around the nation. "Richey also denied a last-minute appeal attempt after Friday's hearing but court officials said Scientologists will get another chance to stay Richey's order in the U.S. Court of Appeal next week.

"They had this paper shredder which was so big! This thing took them through like in quarter-inch swaths! Wwwwwwwww r r r r r r rrrrthhhhhhhhhhh~ "It was a big big big, giant munching shredder! "Laurel Sullivan says they called it "Jaws," but I think they also called it 'Igor.' "This was a bigger cover-up incident than anything that had ever happened before. "At the previous major shredding operation at La Quinta, we were ordered to shred anything which connected Hubbard to the G.O. "At Gilman each person went through his stuff that he had been assigned. There were people who did nothing else but shred, called 'Shredder Operators.' "This time the criteria had been expanded: "a. Any evidence of Hubbard's control of Scientology. b. Any document that showed that he had ordered anything at all. c. Any document that showed that he was intending to reside at the Gilman Hot Springs property. d. Anything that showed that he had ever been to the Gilman Hot Springs property. "Each person had to go though any documents in his area. "I was in charge at that time of the household unit at Gilman. In the household unit, we were setting up a house for Hubbard. "We tiled the floor. His bedroom tiles were dark blue and the room itself was painted dark blue. This was because he had some theory about sleeping in dark rooms and how much better he slept... . "Anyway, late one night I came across a box of stuff. And it was about eight inches deep, maybe 12 inches wide and 16 inches long. It was all beat up, opened, you could see that the lid had all kinds of tears. Brenda Black had found it and she handed it over to me. "I looked through it. And I knew right away that this was a whole different thing than I'd ever seen in Scientology. These papers were out of a whole different realm. "A real letter written by Hubbard? You've got to understand I knew all about Standing Order Number 1; that S.O. 1* was a lie. "These letters I was now witnessing were mainly the ones between him and his first wife. "There were also two diaries, which he had kept from [his days in] Asia. And then there were all sorts of other assorted papers going all the way back, some into the 19th century. "Brenda wanted to know what to do. And I remember my Scientological mind going back and forth on whether or not to keep these documents. Did it make sense? I had to evaluate, because the whole place was mustered into destroying documents. "We found several boxes, and Hubbard's biography had suddenly become possible, because now we had some material. All we had before were these things written by Hubbard, and a few old science fiction magazines. Now all ofa sudden we had letters, we had diaries, and so on. All there was known prior to that, even by the top PRs, was the pub~lic picture that had been manufactured by Hubbard. "I wrote Hubbard a despatch proposing the biography idea. "He answered that with a couple of paragraphs. I did not have any idea of the extent of the materials I had stumbled onto. Neither, it turned out, did he. "I did a little bit of reading of the documents. Then I started to assemble it into some kind of sense. It was real difficult, given the time and distractions."

Although Defendant Armstrong was advised by Laurel Sullivan that no one could communicate with Hubbard, Defendant Armstrong knew that the ability for communication existed, because he had forwarded materials to Hubbard at his request in mid-1980."

Its corporate address is given as 68 Tottenham Court Road (the London org) and its purpose is given as being the use of the chapel at Saint Hill Manor for "worship of the Supreme Being." OUTPOINTS: VARIOUS: (NOTE: These are quoted comments from the source of this information, a poster to a.r.s.): "It is not recorded as having had any capital, assets, income or business dealings. In 1985 it was declared dormant (there's a legal definition of this, apparently). In 1988, 1989 and 1990 it declared that it did not have to have its accounts audited - this is apparently legal in the case of a dormant company. In 1991, the last AGM voted that no further AGMs would be held, nor further accounts or returns submitted. The entity was finally struck off the register of companies on 25 July 1995 - there are no records of any requests for this, so I assume it was done by Companies House after COS of UK failed to produce any more returns. There's no trace of any accounts between 1980 (incorporation) and 1985 (the beginning of dormancy), which is very odd. COS of UK appears to have owned nothing, received nothing and sold nothing. What was it for? My guess is that it was an abortive attempt to create a UK-based entity for Scientology, along the lines of COS (E&W). The dates of its incorporation and dissolution are perhaps significant. It was incorporated shortly after the repeal of the 1968-80 ban on foreign Scientologists entering the UK and was dissolved almost exactly a year before the incorporation of COS (E&W)" SOURCE: A posted message to a.r.s from Chris Owen (?) who had done research at the Companies House registry in London.

Laurel Sullivan, a top Church legal executive and an American Church attorney were the key people present. "The following exchange occurred: "Legal executive: 'The only reason it's worked so long... is because everyone has effectively been bound by the authority of LRH and has ignored corporate lines. ...CSC [Church of Scientology of California] has rendered much service to many foreign Scientologists and RRF has got the money. ...It obviously is the classic case (loud laugh) of inurement, if not fraud.'

SOURCE: Text file: "corydon.txt," a version of Bent Corydon's book, "Messiah or Madman," as found on the Internet Sunday, 28 September 1980 Another internet version of the excerpt from what is believed to be one of the Zolin tapes: [UNKNOWN SPEAKER] There is no need at all for them to be the Board of Directors in order for them to run the Church, but the authority of the Church has to lie somewhere, and on some basis. And since the Church has always chosen a corporate entity, eventually the authority is going to have vest with the Board of Directors. The only reason it's worked so long without that occurring is because everyone has effectively been bound by the authority of LRH and have ignored corporate lines.... [CHARLES PARCELLE] We could say that the RRF, [Religious Research Foundation], and CSC are part of the same church, even though they are corporately different. I mean if anything was a sham corporation, it's RRF. [ALLEN WERTHEIMER, attorney for L Ron Hubbard] As I understand it RRF receives monies that would otherwise be due to the California Church for services rendered by the California Church to people outside of the country who decide to pay the Church from outside the country. [CHARLES PARCELLE] That's right. [ALLEN WERTHEIMER] So that's basically right? [CHARLES PARCELLE] That's right. Foreign - non US Scientologists pay RRF they go to Flag [the flag Ship Org, FSO] and take the services. RRF was originally supposed to hold the money until the service was rendered and then pay it to CSC. But in fact it has not really done that and so CSC has rendered much service to many foreign Scientologists and RRF has got the money Fortunately for us RRF wasn't incorporated until 1973 and we're litigating 1972. So I haven't really tried to sort this one out but it obviously is the classic case (loud laugh) of inurement, if not fraud. (several laughs) [LAUREL SULLIVAN] Well put. [UNKNOWN SPEAKER] It's all privileged. [DICK SULLIVAN] The tape recorder is going here Charles.... [UNKNOWN SPEAKER] Now when you talk around a table like this and there is no internal revenue agent present, (whispered: I hope so), bugged or otherwise, one can work out solutions. But when you are a few weeks away from a trial and everything you say is going to be rammed down your throat, then you have to start looking at what actually happened. And its very difficult to assign significances to things other than what was actually being done at the time. SOURCE: A text file, "Zed's Odd Doc," posted to a.r.s. Wednesday, 01 c.

"At that time, I had ready for Garrison about seven or eight binders of material of the earliest materials that I'd found and those were mainly the letters between Hubbard and his first wife--'the Skipper Letters;' she went by 'Skipper' and he was called 'the Red Head.' "Great letters! You should see these things. They're mind bending. But they're mainly under seal by the Court. "In those letters, you could just see an incredible battle building between him and his wife: Hubbard being so...you cannot believe how ruthless he is being in those early letters! "When Omar was taking over his office I was giving him materials, and I remember thinking that I really resisted saying anything at all about what my conclusions were at the time. I had by this time some kind of confused thought of what the whole thing was about. "I remember thinking, 'I'll wait and he can look at the materials.'
