I know the policy is to delay and use lawsuits to financially ruin the plaintiff by making him rack up impressive legal bills, but the logic in defying the court's intention by flaunting the judges rulings, to me, seems like walking on thin ice.
I was wondering if the judge orders a "wog" arbitration, would Scientology even participate? It seems they are trying to push the judge into a corner, where he rules against them, then appeal on grounds of religious discrimination.
"...defying the court's intention by flaunting the judges rulings..."
I don't read it that way. The COS is carefully trying to avoid any APPEARANCE of flaunting rulings by their lawyers (not IJC) craft each one of those correspondence letters to evidence "good faith effort" to comply and offer what is purportedly an even handed & fair arbitration opportunity.
Obviously (to any ex-Scientologist who isn't clueless) the COS is playing the judge and court system by creating/showing all the trappings of a religion--which is really nothing more than an "acceptable truth" or a "shore story" or a "front group" or (as Hubbard described it) "the religion
angle".
There is every effort in those letters to APPEAR to be in full compliance with the court's rulings. The COS already won that portion of the litigation (by having the judge sending an SP to a Scientology Arbitration---when it is unambiguous COS policy that an SP has no rights whatsoever and maybe lied to, tricked, destroyed, et al.
The COS doesn't have ANY intention of pushing the judge to order a "wog arbitration" because they already prevailed on that point.
And, obviously, the Plaintives are doing their best to showcase the absurd conflict of interests by the COS rejecting every single one of their choices for arbitrator.
I am very curious to know why the Garcia's lawyers haven't subpoenaed the WRITTEN NOTICE to all those "not in good standing" parties that they rejected; the written notice of Declare or stating that they are not in good standing and why--along with the DATE!
Those parties never received any notification (obviously) but the COS is asserting/inferring that those parties were not in good standing BEFORE they were submitted as prospective arbitrators. It certainly appears obvious that the COS just made it up that they weren't in good standing AFTER their name was submitted. That would not be a good thing for the Judge to learn, if that is the case. Because, it would give weight to the contention that the COS is gaming the court and process by (essentially) eliminating the Plaintive's right to choose (by having every one of their choices rejected).
Knowing how the COS incessantly lies and hides behind pious and sanctimonious words, I find the judge's prior rulings (to kick it over to the COS to "arbitrate" within in their own corrupt system) to be manifestly wrong.
The injustice of allowing a defendant accused of FRAUD to then become the arbiter of whether they committed fraud is outrageous.
Some of this judicial ineptitude might be a function of the trial venue being in Florida, a state with deeply embedded ultra-liberal base that often rules monolithically and favorably for radical left wing "social justice" causes. It might be worth noting that Florida doesn't only have "Sanctuary Cities"--they have seven (7) "Sanctuary
Counties"! that proudly support "sanctuary" (
i.e. no liability for either alleged and/or proven criminal behavior!).
All things considered, the Garcias and their attorneys are giving the COS a handful to contend with. It will be interesting to see if the Judge or appellate system will find be willing to tackle the provocative issue that the COS is counting on to save them--religious protections. And the fascinating point of how much freedom constitutional religious protections offer to those perpetrating fraud, rackets, organized crime or worse.
Three decades after his death, Hubbard's diabolical "religious-angle" schemes are still working and in some cases, better than ever! This is the stuff teen horror movies are made of--the monster keeps getting killed and keeps coming back. Maybe this, after all, is the true meaning of "WE COME BACK". lol
