Subject: No way this will make things worse.

Considering the recent rancor, there is no way I can make things worse.  <grin>


I go to trial on Jan. 22 in Hemet, California for *misdemeanor* terrorism.  
Actually what I did last summer was to picket the scientology razor wire 
encrusted "Nazi theme park" out in the sticks in Riverside County.  For those 
trying to locate this on a map, it is not far from where Alcor used to be 
located, perhaps 20 miles to the East.

 From the papers which justified charging me:


  "On 08/16/00, the above listed victims were interviewed per the District 
  Attorney's Office request. On the above

  date, at approx. 0900 hours, I made an unannounced visit to Golden Era Studios
  and contacted Hoden, the

  location manager. I asked Hoden the number of personnel at this location. 
  Hoden said that there were approx. 735 workers. I advised Hoden that I needed 
  to interview five of these workers about the threat from Henson. Hoden said 
  that they have not notified all of the personnel because they did not want to 
  cause mass fear in the workers.
   

  "Hoden said they have a paging system that notifies about 100 of their 
  personnel that Henson is present.

  Hoden said that these 100 employees have been briefed about Henson.  Hoden 
  said that when the page

  goes out there are several personnel that will go to the two tunnels, which 
  runs under Hwy 79 from one side

  of the compound to the other. Personnel are also told to stay away from Hwy 79
  and fence next to Hwy 74
  when Henson is present.
   

  "All five subjects interviewed stated that they received information about 
  Henson from Ken Hoden They are all

  part of the paging activation system used when Henson is protesting at the 
  Golden Era location. All have seen

  Internet posting by Henson and know of Henson's dealings with explosives. All 
  fear that Henson is capable of

  carrying out his threat to blow up the church and all fear that he might blow 
  up Golden Era Studios. They fear

  he might "lob" some sort of grenade or incendiary device over the fence into 
  the compound.
   

  The only thing I have done out there is carry a picket sign.  Of course, a few
  days before this was written, the
  author, Tony Greer said: 
   

  "In reviewing all of the Internet postings I did not see any direct threat of 
  violence towards the church or any
  personnel of the church" 
   

  It is an interesting case involving First Amendment rights to protest over the
  two women who died out there in May and June of this year.  There is vast 
  amounts of material on the net for those who are interested.  Try 
  www.parishioner.org for the OSHA records on how a woman was burned up in a 
  transform vault due to her concerns about ground squirrels.


One thing which I have concluded is that Heinlein was right when he said a 
"church" could do anything and get away with murder.  If there was ever a need 
for it, one or more of the cryonics organizations could be reorganized as a 
religion and be close to immune from the government.
