Press Release



Scientology's Salman Rushdie Goes Global

Gerry Armstrong announces new website defying Scientology

suppression www.gerryarmstrong.org



Ka-ching!  Ka-ching!  Ka-ching!

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/introduction.html



The U.S.-based Scientology enterprise says that every mention

Gerry Armstrong makes of his cult experiences is worth $50,000.



Every person he assists in any way against Scientology

persecution  - ka-ching! - $50,000.  Every time he mentions any

Scientology organization, any of their front groups, any of their

directors, employees, volunteers, or L. Ron Hubbard, cult founder

and the creator of their "scriptures" - ka-ching! - $50,000.  If

Armstrong mentions any of their private investigators, their

covert intelligence operatives, or even any of their hundreds of

lawyers - ka-ching! - another 50 grand.



And Scientology has filed a new $10 million plus lawsuit to give

credence to this monstrous value they've put on Armstrong's

words.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/a7/complaint-cv021632.html

This is the fifth lawsuit Scientology has filed against him to

enforce and collect the $50K per utterance penalty.

Scientology says that they can assault Armstrong, which they've

done on multiple occasions, and he can't talk about it.

They can sue him, but he may not tell anyone.

They can run covert intelligence operations on him, but he may

not inform even the authorities.

They can libel him, but he may not publicly refute the libel.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/index.html,

They can try to have him prosecuted on false criminal charges,

and he may not oppose their attempts.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/osa-ltr-fsb-2001-04-20a.html,

They can ruin him utterly, and he may not say a word in defense.



Scientology says that all of its directors, employees,

volunteers, agents and lawyers can say whatever they want about

Armstrong, no matter how false or perverse, and he may not

respond.  If Armstrong responds, in addition to having to pay

Scientology $50,000 per response, he is subject to being jailed

and fined.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/a4/ord-contempt-1998-2-20.html.



Armstrong's position is that Scientology, by judicially

prohibiting him from responding to their attacks, and punishing

him with imprisonment and fines if he does respond, has created a

new type of slavery, which has U.S. Government support in

flagrant violation of its own Constitution.  Armstrong says that

because the U.S. confers on Scientology the status and privileges

of religion, what this cult is doing to him, with U.S. Government

support, is comparable to jailing and fining someone for

mentioning Christ or God or the person's religious experiences in

the Christian religion.



Since no U.S. Court would conceive of jailing and fining someone

for discussing his religious experiences in any other religion,

and since the U.S. government would not support such an obscene

concept for any other religion, the favoritism that U.S. Courts

and the Government give Scientology to persecute and enslave its

victims makes it the American State Religion.  What Scientology,

with U.S. Government support, is doing to Armstrong, and hundreds

of other citizens like him, is specifically prohibited by the

Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S.

Constitution, yet not one U.S. official has ever objected.  Why?



Armstrong is now in Germany, where Scientology is seen as an

organization with criminal potential, where the nation's

Constitution is not so easily ignored, and where he has the

Constitutionally guaranteed freedom to respond to this cult's

continuing attacks.
