About Those Copyrights PART 2 Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Awwwwwwww, Rrrrrrrobbie, you were *such* a little gentleman, walking me to the bathroom, and I can't be*lieve* you are *still* so *blushing*! I mean, Jeeeez-- Are you *sure* you didn't listen? Hmp! I'll just bet. Alllll right, I believe you. Now we have just got to buckle right down to it. Open our Little Mini Timeline (LMT) at your "XENU IS GRUMPY" ARSCC Chimerical Library bookmark, and let's pick up where we left off. I don't have to, like, read you your *rights* again about this LMT do I? There's your little sheet of Official ARSCC Chimerical Library Disclaimers[TM] right there if you need to refresh your memory. So what the heck do you think happens next? 23 January 1986 Sherman Lenske draws up a new will--on the day before L. Ron Hubbard purportedly dies--that includes reference to an "Author's Family Trust B," which is created on the same day. Norman F. Starkey is named as Trustee of Author's Family Trust B, and named as Executor of the Will. The will very thoroughly covers the disposition of Hubbard's intellectual property (which is to ALL go to Author's Family Trust B, and then to CST) in language that bespeaks a very THOROUGH understanding by Sherman Lenske (and/or whoever helped him write this section) of ALL RAMIFICATIONS of the prevailing statuatory and common law regarding intellectual property: "I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate...including, but not limited to the following: "(a) My entire right, title, and interest in and to my name, voice, signature, photograph, and likeness, together with any trademark and service marks composed of and/or utilizing same and all registrations and applications for registration of such trademarks and service marks. ("b) My entire right, title, and interest in the nineteen (19) year period of extended copyright protection and in all copyright rights provided thereby in all copyrightable works written or created by me and/or assigned to me prior to January 1, 1978, which nineteen (19) year period of extended copyright protection is created by Section 304 of Title 17, United States Code. "(c) My entire right, title, and interest in the right or ability to renew, or to file renewal claims for, all copyrights on or in all copyrightable works written or created by me and/or assigned to me prior to January 1, 1978. "(d) My entire right, title, and interest in all copyrights on or in all copyrightable works written or created by me and/or assigned to me on or after January 1, 1978. "(e) My entire right, title, and interest in all statutory and common law copyrights on or in all other copyrightable works written or created by me and/or assigned to me, regardless of when the works were written or created, including but not limited to copyrights on or in works covered by Section 303 of Title 17, United States Code. "(f) All property over which I may have power of appointment by Will. "to the then-acting Trustee, or Trustees, under the AUTHOR'S FAMILY TRUST-B, earlier established today by written agreement bearing the date of this WILL." What is absent from the will itself--but is included in the "trust instrument" creating Author's Family Trust B (which is incorporated completely into the will, but only by reference)--is that all the described intellectual property will ultimately pass into the possession and control of the corporation known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" (CST). There is a prerequisite, though, as found in an "AGREEMENT" dated 1 June 1987 [see] between Norman F. Starkey and Mary Sue Hubbard: "[T]he balance of his [L. Ron Hubbard's] estate, including copyrights, patents and trademarks, would go to the Church of Spiritual Technology PROVIDED IT OBTAINED TAX EXEMPT STATUS [emphasis added]; and if not, to such tax exempt organization or organizations...as NFS [Norman F. Starkey] may in his sole discretion determine." [EDITOR'S NOTE: Every twist and turn of the above paragraph brings new surprises--or land mines. Stripping away the stilted language of the author--attorney Sherman Lenske--there is ONLY ONE "OPTION": the intellectual property HAS to go to a "tax exempt organization." Period. But at this point in time, the Church of Scientology of California has been denied tax exemption, and neither CST nor ANY of the senior Scientology corporatations set up by Sherman Lenske and friends have received "tax exempt status." The implications are enormous. Either it has been privately and secretly predetermined between Lenske and IRS that CST will be granted tax exemption at some time in the future, and/or there is an existing or pre-planned organization that already HAS or is GUARANTEED "tax exempt status," and which is a PREDETERMINED possible alternate recipient for the intellectual property. There are no other possibilities. Entertaining, however reluctantly, such a seemingly outré hypothesis, we surprisingly find that it then provides the first logical explanation ever posited for Meade Emory's secretive involvement in the set-up of CST. And then we find incredulity continuing to erode as ensuing otherwise-inexplicable events support the postulate uniformly, and without exception. --Ed.] SOURCE: Copies of the will; CHURCH OF SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY Plaintiff v. THE UNITED STATES Defendant. No. 581-88T, UNITED STATES CLAIMS COURT, June 29, 1992. 24 January 1986 L. Ron Hubbard purportedly dies. Attorney Sherman Lenske begins representing Norman F. Starkey, the Executor of L. Ron Hubbard's Estate. [NOTE: Lenske will be Starkey's attorney at least through the probate of the Will, which concludes in January 1989.] SOURCE: Quoted excerpt of Sherman Lenske's Declaration dated November 12, 1995 1 c. January c. 1986 A report on file states that CIA-contracted psychiatrist Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West has been at Fort Meade involved in the "remote viewing" program. According to the source West has made a "connection between the psychic powers and brain waves," theorizing that "brain waves are like radio waves," and that "they both travel in a way not limited to each individual mind, but on 'signal lines' that allow people to tune in to them." The source goes on to say that "with the help of his team," West develops a "brief" for the CIA called "Remote Viewing." [NOTE: There is further corroborating evidence in reports on file and cited herein that West has been assigned by CIA to "rewrite" the texts on remote viewing and to couch them in Jungian and Freudian terminology. The date is uncertain, but this is included for further verification because it is consistent with other reports on West's involvement in the Remote Viewing program, and is placed around the beginning of 1986 because of the date of a purported "manual" called "Controlled Remote Viewing" (see entries for 1 May 1986 and 5 July 1998). The content of the so-called "manual" is entirely consistent with these reports on West's involvement, and the manual is also falsely attributed to Ingo Swann.] SOURCE: Report, "Remote Viewing: View to Reality," Chris Finnegan; also The Constantine Report No. 1, "Remote Viewing at Stanford Research Institute or Illicit CIA Mind Control Experimentation?" 1 May 1986 A "manual" for "Coordinate Remote Viewing" [made public on 5 July 1998, see] is purportedly printed on this date by the DIA. Yet it has no official DIA document number, and is not classified in any way. The opening page, which claims, "The following document has been prepared to serve as a comprehensive explanation of the theory and mechanics of coordinate remote viewing (CRV) as developed by SRI-International, Menlo Park, California," and then carries this statement: "NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS GOVERNED BY CORPORATE LAWS OF PROPRIETY. INGO SWANN, AN SRI-INTERNATIONAL SUBCONTRACTOR, RETAINS EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP OF THIS INFORMATION. BEING PROPRIETARY, INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED OR DISSEMINATED WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION OF INGO SWANN." But Ingo Swann says he wrote no part of it. [See EDITOR'S NOTE at 5 July 1998 entry.] The manual is filled with psychiatric language and references, e.g.: "RV theory relies on a rather Freudian model of human consciousness levels." The "manual" covers so-called "signal lines" later attributed to CIA-psychiatrist Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West. What it does not cover or even touch upon, in any form or fashion, is anything having even "remotely" [pun intended] to do with Scientology, when the three most senior and important personnel ever associated with the CIA-sponsored remote viewing program at SRI International were all Scientology OTs. SOURCE: Copy of the manual as published on the internet 1 c. August 1986 Dr. Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West--CIA-contractor and psychiatrist conducting oversight on the government's secret Scientology-based remote viewing program, and board member of the 501(c)(3) American Family Foundation (AFF)--is scheduled to testify in the trial of Lawrence D. "Larry" Wollersheim v. Church of Scientology of California (CSC). According to the source reference (from Wollersheim's own archives on F.A.C.TNet), Wollersheim has been under the psychiatric care of Dr. West. SOURCE: 3 November 1993 and 15 November 1993 Affidavits of Steven Fishman as recorded in Wollersheim's own F.A.C.T.Net archives: "DOS FILENAME OF TEXT FILE: E:\PCB\SCN\FILES\LEGAL\FISHAFF2.TXT;" "DOS FILENAME OF TEXT FILE: E:\PCB\SCN\FILES\WOLLER\FISHAFF3.TXT" 16 April 1987 Documents ostensibly prepared by Executor of the Estate of L. Ron Hubbard Norman F. Starkey [see NOTE below] and filed with the San Luis Obispo county clerk's office by attorney Charles Ogle of Morro Bay, show that L. Ron Hubbard has left $26,305,706.00 in assets, EXCLUDING TRUST FUNDS (emphasis added). They include "$25 million even" in copyright and trademark materials and $1,305,706 in oil, gas and business investments. The listed assets do not include money Hubbard put into trust funds for his wife, four of his five children and THE CHURCH OF SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY [emphasis added]. Attorney Ogle says that "the amount in the trust funds is private." A statement issued by Starkey's office [falsely] states: "As per Mr. Hubbard's instructions, ownership of all his copyrighted works will pass to the Church of Scientology." [NOTE: Ownership of all Hubbard's copyrighted works ulitimately passes to the corporation known as Church of Spiritual Technology on 29 November 1993. Also note that the source credits Norman F. Starkey with the preparation of the documents, when it is virtually certain that the documents were actually prepared by Starkey's attorney, Sherman Lenske, who had set up every detail of the Will, the Estate, and the various associated Trusts. Consistent with Lenske's M.O., his name is never associated with his behind-the-scenes machinations unless absolutely necessary or forced into the open.] SOURCE: Los Angeles Times, April 16, 1987, Thursday, Home Edition; HEADLINE: L. RON HUBBARD ESTATE VALUED AT $26 MILLION; BYLINE: By AP Okey-dokey, Robbie. *That's* what I meant *earlier* when I said the intellectual property was about 95% of the Estate--excluding the secret slush funds-- um, I mean, Trust Funds, that Lenske set up. Now, we're just going to have to stop right here for juuuuuust a minute and let me get you a stubby little ARSCC Chimerical Library pencil--uh huh, there you go--and this little library pad... Here you go. Now you must write this down, because it is going to be *very* interesting later on: that the "copyright and trademark materials"--you know, the ones that CST wound up owning ALL controlling interest in--are officially valued at *exactly* $25 million. Write write write! Don't ask "why," just write it down, silly! Good! Okey-dokey. We we can move along now... 1 June 1987 An agreement [certainly written by Norman Starkey's attorney Sherman Lenske] is signed between Mary Sue Hubbard and "Norman F. Starkey, Trustee of Author's Family Trust under the Amended Trust Agreement dated 23 January, 1987." [EDITOR'S NOTE: The referenced document says specifically "Author's Family Trust"--NOT "Author's Family Trust-B." There has been a good deal of confusion about these two apparently different trusts. The confusion is made possible and aggravated by the inherent legal barricades against access to the documentation that would make full understanding possible. A clear distinction between these trusts--IF there is one--cannot possibly be made without access to the actual trust instruments, which will likely never be accessible short of criminal prosecution. However, since this 1 June 1987 AGREEMENT between Norman F. Starkey and Mary Sue Hubbard refers to "Author's Family Trust under the Amended Trust Agreement dated 23 January, 1987," and since that is the KNOWN date of the creation of what is referred to as "Author's Family Trust-B," it is possible that "Author's Family Trust-B" is merely a name ascribed in the "Amended Trust Agreement" to the amendment of the original "Author's Family Trust"--which had been created at the time of an earlier Will. If you didn't follow all that, you will never, ever learn the Tango. --Ed.] Here is the Agreement reproduced in full, as it was posted to the internet by Keith Henson, including Henson's comments at the bottom regarding signatures, witness, and notary: AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made as of this 1st day of June, 1987, by and between MARY SUE HUBBARD ("MSH") and NORMAN F. STARKEY as Trustee of Author's Family Trust under the Amended Trust Agreement dated 23 January, 1987 (NFS) with reference to the following: [A.?] Ron Hubbard, the founder of the religion of Scientology established Author's Family Trust to ensure MSH his beloved wife, would be supported for the remainder of her life and that the balance of his estate, including copyrights, patents and trademarks, would go to the Church of Spiritual Technology provided it obtained tax exempt status; and if not, to such tax exempt organization or organizations embracing the religion of Scientology as NFS may in his sole discretion determine. B. Paragraph E of Article Six, titled "Support Trust," of the Amended Trust Agreement provides that NFS shall in his sole discretion determine an amount to set aside for MSH's support, which amount shall be based upon her life expectancy, the anticipated inflation, investment yields over that expectancy and anticipated federal and state income tax rates. C. NFS recognizes and acknowledges with deep gratitude MSH's past contributions to the religion of Scientology and her desire to benefit the religion in the future. For and in consideration of a sum certain receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby contract, agree and stipulate as follows: 1. MSH forever relinquishes, renounces, waives and releases all rights to support or payment of any kind under Paragraph E of Article Six of the Amended Trust Agreement dated the 23rd day of January, 1986. 2. In addition, MSH forever relinquishes, renounces, waives and releases all right, or claim to or against any assets, property, income, monies, funds, securities bank or savings accounts, copyrights, trademarks, partnership interests, real property or any other thing of value owned by or belonging to or purchased, recorded, maintained or standing in the name of L. Ron Hubbard, NFS, Norman F. Starkey, as personal representative of. the Estate of L. Ron Hubbard or Author Services, Inc. as nominee for any of the foregoing. 3. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, assigns, successors and agents of the parties hereto. 4. Each and every provision of this Agreement is severable from any and all other provisions of this Agreement. Should any provision of this Agreement be for any reason unenforceable, the balance shall nonetheless be of full force and effect. 5. This Agreement is made and entered into freely and voluntarily by each of the parties. Each party has read this Agreement and fully understands the terms, provisions and legal consequences of the Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement before witnesses and a Notary as of the date _ first above written. [Mary Sue and Norm signed.

Shermy sure likes to keep it in the family, huh? 1. July c. 1987 According to Steven Fishman's claims, he purchases "the Advanced Technology, or upper-level materials, from a Scientologist in 1987, for around US$4,000." (According to a second source, a March 1996 "American Lawyer" article, Fishman claims that he purchased the materials from an unnamed Scientology "staffer" who needed money.) SOURCE: WIRED magazine archives, online, of a letter from Steven Fishman; "American Lawyer" magazine, March 1996, "Making Law, Making Enemies." Hmmmm. Wonder if they met at a P.O.

Ron Hubbard (which will ultimately be transferred to CST), signs a licensing agreement with RTC, purportedly granting them an exclusive license to the use of the copyrighted materials related to specific Advanced Technology (OT Levels, NOTs, etc.), with the obligation to ENFORCE THE COPYRIGHTS AND TRADE SECRETS [emphasis added] in those works. This agreement is specifically NOT a transfer of ownership in the copyrights, but merely an exclusive LICENSE for the use of them, requiring the enforcement of them by RTC. [NOTE: There is little question that the "Licensing Agreement" between the Estate and RTC was certainly written by Norman F. Starkey's attorney at the time, Sherman Lenske. No copy of this licensing agreement has been found publically available.] SOURCE: Agreement referenced in "ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION (RTC)," 29 November 1993, and in numerous court filings related to copyright and trade secret suits, on file. July c. 1988 Norman F. Starkey, as Trustee for Author's Family Trust B, ostensibly "in carrying out the dictates in the will left by Hubbard," makes a donation of $12,318,602.00 to the Church of Scientology International.

Now, Rrrrrrobbie, you take your stubby little pencil and your library pad and *write down* that $12,318,602.00! That's right--write it right there beneath the $25 million amount for the "copyright and trademark materials" that CST will inherit.

Case No. Cv 91 6426 Hlh (O Declaration Of Robert Vaughn Young; Date: April 4, 1994 1 January 1990 The corporation known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" has spent $9,553,582.00 during 1989 building underground vaults with titanium doors in in several locations in the United States, in which they are to store intellectual property of L. Ron Hubbard. One of these vaults is in New Mexico, and is described by CST in a tax-exempt application as follows: "[A] 700 foot tunnel vault in New Mexico. The vault was designed and built to last a minimum of 1,000 years. It is a rock tunnel, constructed by drilling and blasting, which has high strength concrete floors and walls made of high durability and water resistant materials. The tunnel finish is gunnite followed by troweled lime for long term durability, followed by a spray applied layer of acrylic marble dust mixture for extreme hardness and water resistance, followed by three coats of polyurethane paint. Several complete sets of the archival scriptrues will be stored in this vault." [EDITOR'S NOTE: On 24 August 1992 (see)--just a little over one year before they receive ownership and control of all the copyrights and trademarks as a result of the secret Closing Agreement with IRS--CST will transfer land it owns in New Mexico into the possession of the federal government of the United States in exchange for a different parcel of government-owned land in New Mexico. There is every likelihood that the land turned over to the federal government is the same land containing this 700 foot tunnel vault. And its contents? Who can possibly know? --Ed.] SOURCE: Data taken from IRS Form 1023s filed in pursuit of tax exemption, as posted to the internet. 1 January 1991 The corporation known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" has spent $15,008,504.00 during 1990 building underground vaults with titanium doors in which they are to store intellectual property of L.

[NOTE: There is little question that the "Licensing Agreement" between the Estate and BPI was certainly written by Norman F. Starkey's attorney at the time, Sherman Lenske.

SOURCE: March 1994 Declaration of Scott Mayer [filed 4 April 1994] in Church of Scientology International v. Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz, United States District Court Central Division of California, Case No. CV 91 6426 HLH (Tx) 9 or 14 April 1993 [See "NOTE:" below] As part of what will come to be known as "The Fishman Affidavit," 69 pages of various "Advanced Technology" works--OT Levels I through VIII--are filed into Steven Fishman's unsealed court file, making those documents part of the public record. [NOTE: There are conflicting accounts and allegations of who, exactly, placed the documents there, where they came from, and even when they were filed. Attorney Graham Berry later states to a court that he did not file them, as had been alleged. Larry Wollersheim later proves to be in possession of a copy of the "Fishman Affidavit" and attachments that has a court-filing date stamp of 9 April 1993, which he will claim that he obtained "when it was filed with the Central District of California." One problem with that claim by Wollersheim, though, is that he has not yet, as of this date, been retained by Graham Berry's law firm, Louis, D'Amato, as an expert consultant or expert witness in the case: according to one of Wollersheim's own Declaration's, both he and his 501(c)(3) corporation (which will be known ultimately as "F.A.C.T.Net, Inc.") are retained by Louis, D'Amato in "the summer of 1993," and Wollersheim doesn't even create the corporation until 21 June 1993 (see). Furthermore, a Memorandum Order by Judge Brinkema of 28 November 1995 in RTC v. Lerma et al., states: "On April 14, 1993, Fishman filed in the open court file what has come to be known as the Fishman Affidavit, to which were attached 69 pages of...Advanced Technology works, specifically levels OT-I through OT-VII documents." How, then, does Wollersheim--not yet with even a legal foundation or justification for any involvement at all--come into possession of a "copy" of this "Fishman Affidavit" that is dated a full week prior to the date that a United States District Court judge says it was "filed in open court"? Whatever the answer to these thorny questions, the filing of the "Fishman Affidavit" leads ultimately--directly or indirectly--to Advanced Technology materials being published on the internet, and to the subsequent highly-publicised intellectual property litigation, including allegations of works having passed into the public domain. It should be noted, as well, that CSI finally drops all claims against Fishman and Geertz with prejudice (see entry for 22 February 1994). Ultimately, then, the only outcome of the lawsuit (other than obscene attorney fees) was the fact of these works passing into many hands, leading to precedent-setting litigation in regard to many aspects of the trade secret and coypright status of L. Ron Hubbard's intellectual property, and to claims of fraud surrounding the copyrights attached thereto--with all the possible consequences.] SOURCE: 28 November 1995 Memorandum Opinion in Civil Action No. 95-1107-A, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER V.

The name under which the business will be carried on is "F.A.C.T. Fight Against Coercive Tactics, Inc." The kind of business transacted under the assumed or trade name is described as "A computer bulletin board to make available information on coercive psychological tactics." It is signed by the President (a "G." and then essentially illegible--but Gerry Armstrong is the only other director of the corporation) and the Secretary and Treasurer, Lawrence Wollersheim. SOURCE: Certificate of Assumed or Trade Name as filed with Colorado Secretary of State Corporations Office. 1 October 1993 The Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service enters into a secret agreement with agents of Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) and other Scientology-related entities and individuals. As part of the secret agreement, the single corporation known as "Church of Scientology International," per se, pays Internal Revenue Service $12,500,000.00 US. In the secret agreement, CST is granted tax exemption, and Norman F. Starkey, an individual, as Trustee of Author's Family Trust B, is effectively ordered by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service to transfer "substantially all of the corpus and income in Author's Family Trust B, including all the shares of Author Services, Inc. ('ASI')...to the Church of Spiritual Technology ('CST') without consideration." The Commissioner also creates a secret "Church Tax Compliance Committee," and David Miscavige is appointed to be its Chairman. SOURCE: Copy of the formerly-secret Closing Agreement published by the Wall Street Journal. Oh! Oh! Oh! See, Robbie! Get your little library pad and stubby pencil, and let's do some *math*! Remember that Norman F. Starkey, with his attorney, Sherman Lenske, had valued the "copyright and trademark materials"--which we know *now* are all owned by CST--at *exactly* $25,000,000.00. Right. Now divide that by "2" and tell me what you get. Right! It's $12,500,000.00! Isn't that a *fun* coincidence?! And see on your little pad where you wrote down the $12,318,602.00 that Norman F. Starkey--with his attorney, Sherman Lenske--"donated" from "the Estate" to CSI back in 1988? Geez, do you think interest on it would have pushed it up to $12,500,000.00 by 1 October 1993? Isn't it an *interesting* coincidence that IRS decided arbitrarily to settle ALLLLLLL tax issues by having CSI--the recipient of the $12,318,602.00 from Starkey and Lenske--pay *exactly* $12,500,000.00? I mean, it's *almost* like the Estate splitting the assessed value of the copyrights and trademarks with IRS--and CSI sort of just standing there passing the money along, going, "Uh, unh-hunh. Unh-hunh" as just a dumb, ignorant money-donkey. Wow! <Tch!> Of course, *I* realize that it's not the way it looks; that it's just, like, one of those *amazing* little coincidences that turn up in life! Gosh, I just *love* little coincidences like this. Isn't this *fun*! Let's see what *other* coincidences we can find! 1 c. October 1993 Internal Revenue Service begins sending out a booklet using and referencing intellectual property that has now been irrevocably committed to CST. The booklet is called "A Description of the Scientology Religion." In it, "the Scientology religion" is defined as being "based...upon L. Ron Hubbard's research, writings and recorded lectures." [NOTE: This clever and covert re-definition of terms creates a legal entity entirely seperate from "Scientology," per se. Scientology, per se, IS "L. Ron Hubbard's research, writing and recorded lectures"--not merely "based upon" those works. However, this new IRS/CST-defined class of materials--"the Scientology religion"--as defined, can include all manner of derivative works, alterations, and compilations. Attorneys for various Scientology-related entities are very careful to refer to "the Scientology religion" where appropriate, and to ensure that court-filed papers use that term where appropriate.] SOURCE: Booklet, "A Description of the Scientology Religion." 25 October 1993 Robert Vaughn Young has been retained as a paid "consulting expert" for Graham Berry in the Fishman-Geertz case. He writes a declaration that states that he is "an expert of Scientology policies." Young goes on to cite numerous policies, mostly on the subject of "Fair Game"--but never mentions anything at all about "many of Hubbard's works" having "gone public domain," even though he has ostensibly known about such a circumstance, and an alleged resultant "massive fraud," since 1983.

Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz, United States District Court Central Division of California, Case No. CV 91 6426 HLH (Tx). 4 November 1993 In response to a discovery demand in the CSI v. Fishman-Geertz case, the Church of Scientology International turns over to the law firm Lewis, D'Amato approximately 2,094 pages of records reflecting Church of Scientology International's Application for Recognition of Tax Exemption under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and associated records. [NOTE: Later, in sworn court testimony, Larry Wollersheim will admit that he and F.A.C.T.Net are in possession of "a copy of a 14,000 page Scientology application to the IRS" that Wollersheim claims was received from Louis, D'Amato--nearly 12,000 more pages of "IRS application" than Berry says were received by Louis, D'Amato. Wollersheim will say that the 14,000 page application to the IRS was scanned and put onto approximately 10 CDs that he has made and distributed to individuals, but will not reveal the location of the CDs or the identities of the individuals who have them.] SOURCE: February 1997 Declaration of Graham Berry; 12 September 1995 testimony of Lawrence Dominic Wollersheim in United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 95-K-2143 RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER vs. F.A.C.T.Net, INC., et al. 29 November 1993 Norman F. Starkey transfers all right and title in all Hubbard copyrights (and recently-created derivative "Scientology religion" works as well, over 7,000 in all) to CST--where Sherman Lenske is a Special Director--as ordered by Commissioner of IRS in the secret IRS Closing Agreement of 1 October 1993. On the same date, Starkey signs an "Assignment and Assumption" agreement with CST that has been constructed by Sherman Lenske. In it, CST assumes ownership of all the "corpus and income of Author's Family Trust B," and affirms the 17 September 1987 LICENSE to RTC for the use of the Advanced Technology (OT Levels, etc.) with the obligation for RTC to "enforce all the copyrights in these works." In an agreement of the same date, CST also assumes and affirms the 1 October 1991 "Literary Agreement" with BPI, which carries a similar obligation for BPI to "enforce the copyrights." [NOTE: There is little doubt that both the RTC License and the "Literary Agreement" with BPI were crafted by Sherman Lenske, while acting as attorney for Starkey in his dual roles as Executor and Trustee.] Finally, on this same date, Norman F. Starkey also transfers to CST the "Entire Interest and the Goodwill" in the following five trademarks: Serial No. Reg.

It is: Thomas Small of Small, Larkin & Kidde, 10940 Wilshire Boulevard, 18th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90024. [NOTE: Within little over a year from Small's proven connection to this transfer of intellectual property from Norman F. Starkey to CST, Thomas Small--purportedly just representing RTC--will be the point man for the instigation of the sensationalistic raid on Dennis Erlich and the ensuing intellectual property litigation. His firm of Small, Larkin & Kidde also houses Helena Kobrin, who will bring enormous infamous publicity to bear on the coming intellectual property wars that they instigate--supposedly on behalf of RTC.] SOURCE: United States Copyright Office records; IRS/Scientology Closing Agreement of 1 October 1993; 8 February 1995 Verified Complaint for Injunctive Relief and Damages for Copyright Infringement and Trade Secrets Misappropriation, United States District Court Northern District of California, No. C-95-20091-RMW, RTC and BPI v.

December c. 1993 Someone at Lewis, D'Amato (where IRS operative Scott Mayer is a paralegal in the Fishman-Geertz litigation) provides Larry Wollersheim with, "among other things," two [or three, according to a later Graham Berry declaration] "media CD's" containing over 8,000 copies of news articles and "other documents" that allegedly have been "scanned onto those disks from documents produced in discovery and obtained from the extensive Scientology library belonging to...Steven Fishman." The contents of the "media CD's" are loaded onto the F.A.C.T.Net hard drives immediately upon receipt "in late 1993 or early 1994." Wollersheim also receives some 40,000 to 60,000 pages of documents. [NOTE: The Organization Executive Course Volumes ("green voumes") and the "HCO B" Volumes ("red volumes"), consiting of all of the bulletins and policies written by and for Hubbard, are believed to have been included in this collection of electronic and hardcopy documents--if not the infamous "Fishman Affidavit" itself. But so much self-contradictory, vague, non-specific, and obfuscatory testimony and inuendo about the contents of the "media CDs" and documents are entered into later legal proceedings--mostly by Wollersheim and Graham Berry--that no certain resolution is ever attained. What IS certain is that Wollersheim/F.A.C.T.Net's undisputed possession of both the "Fishman Affidavit" (with OT Levels attachments)--in various forms--AND undisputed possession of the "red and green volumes"--HOWEVER AND WHENEVER THEY OBTAINED THEM--is what leads ultimately to the raid on Arnie Lerma, Larry Wollersheim, Bob Penny, and F.A.C.T.Net, and to the subsequent litigation with those parties over the copyrights--which, itself, leads to all the subsequent court-filed allegations by these parties and their hired experts regarding certain materials having "gone into the public domain."] SOURCE: February 1997 Declaration of Lawrence D.

Part of the amendment expands on the originally stated distribution of assets upon dissolution: "Upon dissolution of the corporation, assets shall be distributed equally to Cult Awareness Network (2421 W. Pratt St., Suite 1173, Chicago, Illinois 60021) and to American Family Foundation (P. 0. Box 336, Weston, Massachusetts) for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code), provided each of such organizations qualifies for tax-exempt status under such section at the time of dissolution of the corporation. In the event only one of the Cult Awareness Network or the American Family Foundation qualifies as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code) at the time of the dissolution of the corporation, the assets shall be distributed to the one such organization that continues to qualify under such section. In the event neither of the Cult Awareness Network nor the American Family Foundation qualifies as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code) at the time of dissolution of the corporation, the assets shall be distributed to one or more organizations organized and operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes, within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or corresponding section of any future federal tax code), that are similar to such exempt purposes of the Cult Awareness Network and the American Family Foundation. Any such assets not so disposed of shall be disposed of by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction of the county in which the principal office of the corporation is then located, exclusively for such purposes or to such organization or organizations, as said Court shall determine, which are organized and operated exclusively for such purposes." An added Tenth Article called "Private Foundation Provision," begins: "In any taxable year in which the corporation is a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code)..." and addresses conduct of the corporation as a 509(a) private foundation.

Ohhhhhhh, Rrrrrrobbie, we have to *stop* for a minute. I feel like I've been *spinning* around in my office chair again! Help me out, darling Rob!
