I can name 20- 30 anonymous phone calls to “DESTROY HIM UTTERLY.”
The "Church" is a tax free 501C3 with bucket loads of money $$$$$$$$ to pay Lawyers and PIs to act with such venom. They waste Law enforcement time pursuing bogus phone calls. They are TAX FREE and do not contribute to the city budgets from when comes the payroll of these Law enforcement officers.
This is a very dark side of the Church. It designed to manufacture CRIME, create black and false propaganda, even to the depths of trying to get someone committed to a mental Asylum like Stacey Young (Brooks) another veteran Sea Org Member. (see previous post)
Every now and again their Black Ops blow up right in their face. Prosecutor Casey Hill of Toronto, Canada showed what could happen when Church attack went wrong.
In March, 1983, three buses of cops raided the offices and, from the pile of documents, Scientology and 18 people were later charged with infiltrating two law firms, the College of Physicians, the OMA, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Metro Toronto Police,the Attorney General of Ontario and the RCMP.
After losing in court, Scientology then went after an Officer of the Court, Prosecutor Casey Hill. Scientology sued the Prosecutor, claiming he misled a judge and tampered with documents. The case was dismissed, and Hill sued for libel; “Scientology decided that Casey Hill was the enemy and it set out to destroy him,” the court ruled. “It levelled false charges against him. It persecuted him on these charges. In summary, the evidence suggests that Scientology set upon a persistent course of character assassination over a period of seven years with the intention of destroying Casey Hill.”
The jury award that was upheld in this appeal was the largest libel award in Canadian history. The Church of Scientology were found jointly liable for general damages of $300,000 Aggravated damages of $500,000 and punitive damages of $800,000 making Scientology’s total liability $1,600,000.
This was the RESULT of Result of jury award of general, aggravated and punitive damages. upheld by their Supreme Court.
In 1991, Prosecutor Casey Hill won $2.1-million in damages, the largest libel award ever in Canadian History. He gave the “Church” a black eye for the 7 year campaign to “DESTROY HIM UTTERLY”.

Libel
On September 17, 1984, Morris Manning - a lawyer employed by the Church of Scientology of Toronto - stood on the steps of Osgoode Hall in his barrister's robes and held a press conference. He falsely accused Crown Prosecutor S. Casey Hill (now a provincial judge) of tampering with sealed evidence seized in the March 1993 raid on the Church. Manning announced that he would be filing a motion of contempt against Hill the following day, and distributed an information packet, including the motion, to the press that was on hand.
The contempt trial against Hill began on November 5 and lasted 11 days. The judge ruled that Scientology had no evidence Judge Hill had acted contemptuously, and threw the charges out.
Once again, Scientology had been soundly defeated. Nonetheless, they appealed once again to the highest court in the land: the Supreme Court of Canada. Once again, the court rejected the Church's appeal, and on July 20, 1995, they upheld the largest libel award in Canadian history, by now amounting to $3 million dollars including interest. Scientology had been completely defeated. The only part of their appeal that had been overturned was a broadening of the scope of qualified privilege - in the future, court documents read by Court officers prior to filing were covered by qualified privilege.
Some excerpts from the judgment of the Supreme Court:
"The press conference was held on the steps of Osgoode Hall in the presence of representatives from several media organizations. This constituted the widest possible dissemination of grievous allegations of professional misconduct that were yet to be tested in a court of law. His comments were made in language that portrayed Hill in the worst possible light. This was neither necessary nor appropriate in the existing circumstances. While it is not necessary to characterize Manning's conduct as amounting to actual malice, it was certainly high-handed and careless. It exceeded any legitimate purpose the press conference may have served. His conduct, therefore, defeated the qualified privilege that attached to the occasion."
"The publication of the libellous statement was very carefully orchestrated. Members of the press and the television media attended at Osgoode Hall in Toronto to meet two prominent lawyers, Morris Manning and Clayton Ruby. Osgoode Hall is the seat of the Court of Appeal and the permanent residence of the Law Society. The building is used as the background in a great many news reports dealing with important cases emanating from the Court of Appeal. In the minds of the public, it is associated with the law, with the courts and with the justice system. Manning went far beyond a simple explanation of the nature of the notice of motion. He took these very public steps without investigating in any way whether the allegations made were true.
