"regardless of format"

I just realized the Judge really wants to see all evidence. OMG

I've been thinking about Face this evening, too. This is the kind of Texas judge he was predicting Waldrip was.

Agreed for now, TG1! :happydance:

This Order directs CSI/Bryan/Sloat/Lubow to turn over specific discovery material to Mrs. Rathbun's attorneys before January 27, 2014.

Right now, RTC and David Miscavige don't have to turn anything over because they don't admit/agree that Texas has proper jurisdiction.

If Judge Waldrip rules that jurisdiction is proper and that RTC/DM are defendants, and that ruling is upheld on Appeal, then I don't think we could count to twenty before Judge Waldrip issues an Order that looks even better than the one you've kindly provided above.

I wonder what CSI will turn over to the Plaintiff -- considering all of the declarations filed that basically admit the harassment was a CSI-connected operation, not run by RTC/DM -- and, if after reviewing whatever is turned over, whether any new defendant(s) will be added? :yes:

JB, he wants all the squirrel fuckerz shit, it will be interesting to see what they come up with, at the very least, it should be every damned thing they made even remotely public, and everything from their hat-cams from the git-go, should be interesting. I think the judge is simply doing some in-depth reviewing.

:drama:

Thanks JB and others who offered above clarification and reminders about the meanig of this order.

In other words, the Judge has ordered them to provide ALL video shot by any of their cameras.

I am wondering why Bert Leahy's testimony hasn't been submitted or at least referenced. My recollection from long, long ago is that Lubow (or a senior member of the Squirrel Busters team) told him that their goal was to make the Rathbuns' life a living hell.

That certainly goes against the "first amendment" and "religious" defenses the cult has put up. I don't think that one's first amendment right to express your opinion includes assault and harassment. And "make someone's live a living hell" certainly falls into the neighborhood of assault and harassment.

JB,

I'm looking for the depo transcripts of the SO dudes whom Ray Jeffrey deposed a month or so ago. Do you have a link for those anywhere handy?

Thanks in advance,

If the "Squirrel Busters" was an OSA/CSI op, it's should have had an eval and program approved by AVC (RTC).

This was a major, long term action that cost tens of thousands of dollars (at least) and garnered international media attention.
It produced some of the most infamous PR - thousands of Internet posts, the blogs, the videos have made Miscavige and Scientology a laughing stock.

There should be mission orders, compliance reports, daily reports, CSW's, invoices, receipts, debriefs, videos, photos, KR's, chits, commendations, DA packs, briefings, newspaper clippings and media reports, checksheets (you clay demo the op before you do it), non-disclosure bonds, etc. to name a few.

Contact with critics or SP's is strictly forbidden and requires IJC approval and that in itself should have its own paper trail.

Despatch traffic would include,
- comms to COB/Laurisse (of course),
- IG Ethics (RTC),
- IG Tech (RTC),
- AVC (RTC),
- IJC,
- WDC,
- ED Int (whoever is holding the hat - cough, cough),
- all the various PR spokespeople that interacted with the local media,
- misc OSA Int terminals (every Squirrel Buster got some sort of sec check and hatting before the op),
- Finance/Treasury terminals that disbursed the $,
- Security personnel at various locations,
- the attorneys that were consulted,
- the local DSA's and Ethics Officers,
- etc.

If Scn just produces a few shreds of vague paper, it will be blatantly obvious that they're lying. Too many policies and Flag Orders specifically lay out the paperwork expected and required.

But, with DM being willing to throw CSI and everyone else under the bus just to save his hide, stuff is probably being pulped even as we speak.
