Yes indeedy.

Even though it is 100% standard Scientology tech by L Ron Hubbard to find or manufacture evidence against its critics, it is also 100% criminal activity to manufacture false or deceptive evidence to try to frame a person.

Scientology has deep pockets. That makes them a desirable target for the right lawyer who can read the tea leaves on the wall there in Australia.

This might be quite an opportunity.

Exactly. But I was thinking more along the lines of Criminal Charges. In my opinion the cult got off very lightly after the Operation Snow White fiasco. I know 11 Scientologists got sent to prison, but they were lucky not to have the whole cult dismantled.

If they get caught manufacturing evidence in an attempt to frame someone, this will be the end of the Scientology in Oz and would have reverberations across the world. Can you imagine extradition warrants issued for OSA Int goons and even DM himself?

As they get more desperate, they are going to go too far, as they may have already done in this case, and get caught with their hands in the cookie jar and pants around their ankles. Remember, we’ve got numerous eye-witnesses who have revealed that NOTHING happens without Miscavige’s authority. So, it all goes back to him.

Maybe this has already been asked...I haven't read the whole thread. Why has it taken so long , close on two years, to discover/uncover this supposed evidence? Why was this information, in whatever form it may exist, not available around the time of these DDOS attacks? Why now in Australia when the Cos is under attack on all sides has this come to light? Oops...sorry I seem to have answered the last question myself.

However, BF, it seems likely that the attack was planned at least a few months in advance, since, until recently Emma had her own DA Page on Religiousfreedomwatch, but, it was *removed*.

Which seemed odd at the time, but, less so now.

That does make sense.

Yep - It was Earthlink.

Just to clarify - I'm engaging a lawyer not just in case I need the defence, but to make sure the police don't let the CoS anywhere near my equipment. Also to check whether the warrant should have been issued in the first place based on what they call "evidence" and to see if I have any path of recourse.

If I can prove to the police (which I think is very likely) that there should never have been a warrant signed off by the magistrate, I intend to take action against any and all parties involved and get compensation for the loss of equipment, time off work, stress & duress and any other costs involved.

Oh goodie. Goodie goodie goodie. Oh yes.

Emma - it's likely an attorney will want an up-front retainer. Put up a PLEDGIE so we can start your legal fund!

Yeh. Good. Good. :clap::clap::clap: Sockit to'em. :punch:

How about asking Senator X who might be the best attorney for this?

Hopefully you or others have copied the nonsense on Freedumb watch.

My guess is that you were taken off previously because of this current situation. can't recall any specifics, but you may have solid grounds to
sue, as many others may have.

Gosh wouldn't it be just perfect if Emma was the one to actually take the cult down? I don't think anyone would disagree that if this is what plays out it would be pure poetry!

I am really, REALLY reluctant to do this until I am certain of the costs. I've seen this type of thing bite people on the bum before and we all know what happened the last time an Aussie raised funds for a legal defence (thank you Mr Saxton).

What if I raised $2000 and only needed $1500? Do I do partial refunds? Do we create a trust with any left over for further battles or use it to help exes in other ways (retraining etc)? Who does the accounting?

I just don't know how to do this the right way.

Let us help you help us, Emma. Don't worry about what's "right". This is our battle too. Put up the damn Pledgie!!!!

I would recommend putting it away, and next time there's a need for a server change or server payment, apply it towards that if there is an excess.

Another night to sleep on things and despite my own feelings that it will all be ok, I've decided to engage a lawyer.

I have to run off to work now and can't be doing to much of this on company time but I'd really appreciate if you guys could do some research for me today and see if you can find me a lawyer who specialises in this kind of defence.

The (pending) charges are concerned with "Unauthorised Impairment of electronic communication". And "Consipracy and incitement to cause Unauthorised Impairment of Electronic Communications".

If you could do some research on cases in Melbourne defended successfully and get me a few lawyers names that would be very helpful.

Thanks guys.

I am certain their burden of proof is unfounded.

But this begs the question.

How can it be illegal to access a site that is put there to be accessed no matter how many times you wish to access it?

What the hell is it with the accounting business on all these plegies? Doesn't anyone just give from their heart anymore for a cause without needing to know what every penny was spent on?

WHO THE FUCK CARES?

If Emma needs, shouldn't it just matter that you have decided to donate with no strings attached?

I am sick of this pervasive accounting that always seems to creep in on these things.

Does the CO$ provide books and ledgers of their donations?
oh perhaps they do, my bad...

GIVE A FUCK
GIVE A BUCK!

I think it would be a question of demonstrating that the intent was to crash the access to the site. Probably difficult to demonstrate.

The goal of these sorts of actions by the Church is basically a fishing expedition, looking to see if they can prosecute a person for anything at all, as well as an intimidation effort. They would love to "win" the suits, but that's not why they lodge them. They lodge them to bury people in paperwork and make it hard for them to live their day-to-day lives: overwhelm. It's the definition of suppression.

It's not an impossible task to perform this accounting.

Keep thinking and keep researching costs.

In the past, the cult has preyed on individuals, after isolating them and destroying their relationships and their support structure through disconnection. They have hounded them until they were literally broken pieces.

This is just another aspect of re-connection (a major purpose of ESMB): a support structure which defends against, and then ultimately dismantles, the cult's ability to fair game people.

So here we go - where's that Pledgie???
