Re Filburt...
Dear Commander BS,
I am sorry to say I will not be posting that letter anywhere at this time..
Here is the introduction I wrote for that letter, FWIW:
First some background info if anyone reading this is NOT familiar with this data you must click the links to see for yourself. Don't take my words alone, the data that follows is going to be incredible enough and the incredulity factor demands that you know the context:
Below was filed under penalty of perjury and is from my pro-se motion for reconsideration in RTC vs LERMA (The one that included the data that a room full of lawyers told me never to discuss as it "would ruin my credibility" about my being dosed with LSD by Warren McShane, President of RTC while he and Alan Cartright et al were in my bathroom for quite a while during the 1995 RAID.
"1) Copyright to large portions of the Power processes, R6EW, the Clearing course, and OT 1 through 7 and some of the 'Confidential' L series, (inclusive of what RTC falsely describes
as 'Advanced Technology') was granted by the US copyright office to
Geoffrey Filburt April 25 1982, in a publication called Excalibur Revisited' which includes massive word-for-word transcriptions of materials I recall as being Scientology.... some 450 pages, single spaced typing. A true and correct copy of excerpts of this file as obtained from America Online is provided as
Exhibit A.
2) The RTC's filed copyrights for these materials are dated
May 12th 1982.
3) Mr. Filburt claims to have received permission from Hubbard to do as he wished with the materials of Scientology.
4) I prompted Homer Smith to call Mr. Filburt, and get his permission to post these materials to the Internet in the fall of 1994. They have been available on America Online for nearly two years."
-------
Copyright to the entire bridge of scientology (these were Geoff's words) was provided by a signed letter from Hubbard giving HIM the entire bridge in scientolgy to do with as he pleased. This copyright can be viewed at the US Copyright office webpage here:
TX0000894990 / 1982-04-26
------
Mr Filburt told me that RTC did visit him and "figuratively put a gun to my head" but he told them to go to hell.
------
Strangely, two huge "Intellectual property" lawfirms
never mentioned Mr Filburt's document in their own filings on my behalf.. as soon as I could get out from under them (insurance company lawfirms) I filed pro-se in US Federal court. One of those firms has now vanished, been dissolved... Ross, Dixon and Masback on Pennsylvania Avenue at 4th St NW in view of the US Capital building.
(Note Well: The last motion for summary judgement by RTC dropped all the stuff I had actually scanned and posted (The Fishman Affidavit, including the entirety of OT1 thru 7 as of 1978) and added 5 items, from my usenet .LOG file that were postings of NEDS for OTS or NOTs, this was (c) rubbish that Dennis Erlich had been sued for posting to usenet previously in February and
Just so you understand.. after litigating madly about the Fishman Affidavit that authenticated OTIII in Federal Court
(XENU), RTC dropped all those claims and added 5 things from by hard disk from a .log file created from reading Dennis Erlich's posts on the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup.)
After this filing was denied I retained a lawyer,
David Masselli, whom I knew personally to fight out their attempts to charge me for the legal (lawyer) costs (1,740,000 they claimed) which were DENIED, RTC was awarded ZERO Legal fees $$ for months of wrangling... or I would not be here typing this at this time... those files have been transferred safely to the care of (Library name deleted).
Letter to follow...
Letter errata: Mr Filburt typed in a date of 1999, but this deposition took place in 1996...and yes I have a hard copy of it, also...
