OF ORIG: Contact Lawrence Wollersheim NOTES:TO REPLACE OLD VERSION UPDATED ON: UPDATED BY: THE REQUIREMENT OF A BOND IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for the Court to consider Scientology's petition Where proven evidence is submitted that demonstrates it is highly probable that the court has been the victim of a massive fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice and that the defendant has a proven history of financial fraud there is a corresponding responsibility for the court to protect the financial interests of the prevailing party. Wollersheim formally asks the court to require Scientology to put up a bond for the complete judgment and accrued interest during the last 6 years of Scientology's appeals based on: 1.) THE ACCUMULATED EVIDENCE ON SCIENTOLOGY'S HISTORY OF FINANCIAL FRAUD: At this time, a short legal history of Scientology's previous financial misconduct and fraud is particularly relevant. Please see the beginning of the included appendix titled "Financial Fraud." 2.) THE COURT'S NOTICE FROM WOLLERSHEIM THAT HE HAS FORMALLY REQUESTED THE PROPER STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES BEGIN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO SCIENTOLOGY'S FRAUD ON THIS COURT AND THE TAXPAYERS. (The above mentioned appendix is only part of the non confidential materials and information that have been submitted to the proper government agencies.) 3.) FUNDAMENTAL FAIRNESS, In a country where the loser of a lawsuit does not pay all the costs of the winner, and with a wealthy party's or corporation's ability to "bury" the average citizen in prohibitive, delaying, and merit less legal costs and actions, for plaintiffs' like Scientology, bonds on appeal for awards are vital to preserve the balance of justice. The real purpose for Scientology's continuous "rejection deaf" appeals are not primarily to seek legal redress but to effect tactical and public relations goals. Scientology's persistent merit-poor appeals are designed to serve as financial disincentives and "legal punishment" primarily to defeat, delay, and discourage existing and future lawsuits or contingency attorneys from taking on new Scientology cases. ( such has just happened in this case,) Because of the EXTREEM expense involved in prosecuting Scientology or lack of reasonable prospect for eventual collection against Scientology's quickly stripped and constantly mutating corporations bond are critical. (Scientology presently has several hundred million dollars of such litigation pending worldwide.) In cases like Scientology effective punitive awards based on actual net worth and bonds on appeal based on the judgment and accumulated interest serve the vital role of helping to remove any profit incentive or positive reinforcement from wrongdoing or simply using the mercy and administrative delays of the justice system to help defraud the prevailing parties or other pending litigation. The continued presence of bonds on appeal and punitive damages may not only be the least restrictive means for society to counterbalance and protect itself but the only means to protect itself from the misuse of the formidable privileges and immunities it grants to those who legitimately or ILLEGIMATELY claim the religious sanctuary. In cases like Scientology, once again bonds on appeal and punitive awards are absolutely necessary to preserve the critical power balance between church and state. World political and religious history is replete with the cataclysmic results of religions becoming "sovereign entities" unto themselves, and becoming outside of,1 immune to, or undeterred by, normal civil remedy. Requiring a bond on appeal for the award and the accumulated 6 years of interest in the present case, far from being a windfall, serves vital governmental and societal purposes. Without securing bonds on appeal for awards against organizations such as Scientology, it is highly unlikely that few non-wealthy individuals could, or would, want to bear the financial, personal, and "extracurricular" costs to use our current justice system to correct such reprehensible, outrageous, and malicious social wrongdoing. Without bonds on appeal supporting effective punitive awards and costly trial verdicts, the legal balance could decidedly shift to criminals who happened to be wealthy. Wealthy criminals could keep throwing enough money into the justice system through delay, deferral, and onerous expenses heaped on to break the other side financially so in effect that they could dilute or render the system impotent as a vital social correctional instrument, an option that history has already proven to create social disaster. 1 Scientology has attempted to operate its Narconon drug "therapy" program outside of required State licensing or inspection on a leased "independently sovereign" Indian reservation outside of Newkirk Oaklahoma. Just this month, after extensive and costly litigation the state goverment of Oaklahoma ordered this facility closed. ================================================================= If this is a copyrighted work, you are acknowledging by receipt of this document from FACTNet that on the basis of reasonable investigation, you have not been to obtain a copy elsewhere at a fair price, and that you are and will abide by the following copyright warning.
