Thanks MIke. It makes me want Garcias to win even more and I wanted it a lot before this even.

Garcia’s are about half a million dollars that was fraudulently gotten from them.

Mike, I see whatyou’re saying. So regarding monetary damages, what damages did the Garcias have from donating for the cross for Super Power? I realize the books donations are on a much smaller scale, but to me it doesn’t seem like you have monetary damages at all in both the books case and the Garcia’s case cuz theoretically you wouldn’t have donated what you couldn’t afford to lose, right?

If you can find a lawyer who will take on the Church of Scientology when it would have to be done on a contingency fee agreement (unless someone has a few hundred thousand lying around to fund the litigation) and there are no provable monetary damages apart from the cost of the books — go for it. Probably an easier task would be to find an honest politician and get them to conduct a Congressional hearing into the matter.

Sorry, this is pie in the sky.

Better yet, maybe it is a possible lawsuit or class action lawsuit…We gather data that the basic books are not in the libraries that they said they were donating them to, and then use it as a means to sue, similar to what the Garcias are doing. Mike, what do you think of this idea? Is it doable?

Chad, you mention a glitch where if the books were not delivered, the person could get his/her money back for that donation. I actually know an OT VII who did that. She was gang-pressed into donating a lot of Basics Book packages to libraries, so much so that it left her broke and unable to pay for her refreshers and she was looking at having to route off of OT VII. Well she found out about that little glitch and called the libraries where the books were supposedly sent and found that they didn’t have them and that they were still in the warehouse, and so she got her money refunded. I don’t think she got all of it, but an awful lot of it, which is a win.

My thought is that maybe now those who donated book packages can get their money refunded if they can prove they aren’t in the libraries or other places where they were supposed to be sent.

I was going to say, “Present company excluded” for Mike…but then again, he’s a pirate and a bum in the real sense. He doesn’t back down from anybody.

Nice to get a massage before you get on the plane.

I’d much rather have a little personal contact than that little human microwave/DNA changer that they make you walk through. I just tell them I can’t go through because of medical reasons and they let me go without getting in that thing.

You know, Ronnie, I get strip searched at LAX by the TSA everytime I fly out of that airport. It costs me $25, but, hey, it’s worth it!

Too funny, Matt! I never thought of it before as the Golden Age of Turds! I’d keep smiling but for the pain that those still (s)trapped in the church are enduring, while they glibly await — with tissues, E-mails and compliance reports in hand and mouths agape — the next golden turd to soon be dropped by David Miscavige. BTW, I am guilty of buying into one of those regurgitated mission packages once. It was about 20 years ago…took until this year for me to finally give in and throw away the last few boxes of soggy promo (in my garage) from those pallets! OK, I’m off to my morning Solo NOTS session. I can feel a persistent F/N coming on…if it swings left and right 9 times does it still count?
