Scientology Lies

May 14, 1979: CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY OF CALIFORNIA et al., appellants v. W. Michael BLUMENTHAL, Secretary of the Treasury, et al

August 30, 1976: FBI Special Agents Joseph Jackson and John Pavlansky go to the Washington, DC Church of Scientology to try to find Michael Meisner in connection with the arrest warrant issued on August 5. They meet with Kendrick Moxon and him that anyone helping Meisner avoid arrest would be guilty of a criminal act. Moxon says he doesn't know where Meisner is. He notifies his superior, Mary Rezzonico (Deputy Guardian for the Legal Bureau in the US) about the arrest warrant for Meisner.

October 8, 1976: FBI Special Agent Hansen serves Kendrick Moxon, Assistant Guardian for the Legal Bureau in Washington, D.C., with a Grand Jury subpoena for all original known handwriting exemplars of Michael Meisner and Meisner's employment application and personnel records. Richard Kimmel (Assistant Guardian for Information, D.C.) immediately notifies Mitchell Hermann about the subpoena.

October 14, 1976: Kendrick "Rick" Moxon (District of Columbia Assistant Guardian for the Legal Bureau) submits an affidavit with nine pages of handwritten material. In the affidavit, he stated that he was unable to locate a personnel file for Mr. Meisner, and that the nine pages of appended handwriting were those of Mr. Meisner. However, as the defendant Raymond stated to Mr. Meisner in a meeting in late September 1976, Mr. Moxon had been directed to supply the government with fake handwriting samples in lieu of Mr. Meisner's true handwriting exemplars.

October 29, 1976: Church of Scientology v. IRS

December 13, 1976: Missouri Church of Scientology v James Adams et al

December 27, 1976: Church of Scientology of Toronto, Jacqueline Matz, Clara Anne Schneider, and Ernest Lehmann start stealing documents from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

January 7, 1977: Mitchell Hermann sends a briefing paper to Henning Heldt saying that the Commodore Staff Guardian, Mary Sue Hubbard, has approved a plan identical to the one previously laid out by the Cindy Raymond on December 10, 1976. Hermann outlines the following events: the arrest of the Gerald Wolfe; the investigation being conducted by the FBI and the US Attorney's Office; the cover-up story given by Wolfe; Principal Assistant United States Attorney Carl S. Rauh's statement that he did not believe that story; the assignment of the investigation to Assistant US Attorney Garey Stark of the Fraud section; the statement by Wolfe's attorney "that the case has been prepared to go to the grand jury" (emphasis added); and the various attempts which were being made by the FBI to locate Michael Meisner in Washington, D.C. Hermann suggests that research be conducted to determine if a "guilty plea would then eliminate the grand jury." He also states that the Wolfe had been directed not to give any further information beyond the cover-up story prepared for him by the Guardian's Office.

January 30, 1977: Mitchell Hermann reminds Mary Rezzonico, the Deputy Guardian for Legal Affairs in the US, that "it is still planned to get Silver [Wolfe] out here for briefing prior to the meeting" which Wolfe had scheduled with the United States Attorney's Office. He expresses Wolfe's concern that the US Attorney's Office would attempt to strike a deal with him to become a government witness.
