Attorney Graham Berry who has been retained by some Anonymous in DC to help bring down the cult, has posted the following tl;dr to Enturbulation.org.  Here are some snippets:

In my professional opinion, the Scientology enterprise is now facing its greatest danger since the massive F.B.I. raids of 1977 and the resulting United States Department of Justice (DoJ) felony indictments and convictions against eleven senior Church of Scientology officials and operatives. In the Scientology’s War against Anonymous, Anon struck first, fast and furious. Sometimes a lawyer should seize the urgency of the moment, such as the foreseeable destruction of evidence, to rush through the doors and to the top of the heap. The struggle has now been taken to a new and higher level. However, the Church of Scientology will try and counter-attack with all of its usual psycho-terror and fair game tactics.

Anonymous is now joined in epic battle against O.S.A. Anonymous has challenged the United States Department of Justice to do its professional and public duties! Tens of thousands around the world are now watching how they fulfill those duties.

At the next pickets please chant something like, “DOJ FBI, DON’T LET THE CULT, GET AWAY.”  For the word cult you could substitute Miscavige, Moxon, Ingram, O.S.A., the lawyers, etc. You may also, within applicable laws and regulations, picket outside the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney and F.B.I. offices….

Anonymous, its individual participants and certain other OG types, and myself, are all the makers of various criminal complaints, request for investigation and requests to convene a federal grand jury regarding alleged criminal civil rights violations, R.I.C.O. violations, criminal violations, I.R.S. violations, O.S.H.A. violations, I.R.C. Section 501(c) (3) violations, Establishment clause violations, etc. The Church of Scientology has been on constructive notice of this since April 11, 2008 because, among other things, of my letter of that date to the L.A.P.D. Chief of Police where senior Church of Scientology attorney Gerald Chaleff, Esq., has conflicts of interest since he has the paramount duty to act according to the mandates set forth in “Keeping Scientology Working No. 1 (K.S.W. 1).”

Here is a brief summary of the current situation, as I currently see it:

1.    Anonymous and many of the Old Guard are collectively criminal complainants requesting investigations by the Department of Justice and the Los Angeles Police Department.

A.    Consequently, the identification of Anonymous participants and the “cease and desist letters” are not only criminal civil rights violations (18 U.S.C. sections 240, 241 and 245) but also, since April 11, 2008 at the latest, attempts to obstruct justice;

B.    Approaches to Anonymous participants and its attorneys, by Scientology investigators, lawyers, staff members and Scientologists may also be considered attempts to intimidate complainants, witnesses and to obstruct justice;

C.    Anonymous participants should carry a copy of this letter, and copies of the July 24, 2008 letter, to the U.S. Attorneys office, and the other documents that are cut and pasted hereunder for your convenience in copying and/or printing as suggested. If threatened, intimidated or otherwise harassed, followed, “name fagged,” delivered a “cease and desist” letter, an immediate complaint should be made to your local F.B.I. office with a copy or summary to me of your complaint and particularly the agency/officer/contact information;

D.    OSA BOTS and SCION SOCK PUPPETS on the Enturbulation.org, Operation Clambake Message Board, ARS Usenet groups, etc. may be engaging in Federal felonies when “bull-baiting, third-partying and fair-gaming” the Anonymous participants in order to cause dissension among themselves and distraction from the common objective of ending Scientology abuses, crimes, frauds and other wrongful conduct. Any such persons should be reported as described above, with a copy of summary to me;

E.    Any law suits that the Scientology enterprise may now try to file against any of the Anonymous may now be subject to dismissal upon a successful S.L.A.P.P. motion (Cal. Code of Civil Procedure, section 426.16). They may also be deemed retaliatory and/or attempted obstruction and intimidation, and dealt with accordingly;

2.    I am now representing FormerlyIn in the F.B.I. and S.E.C. investigations
(Shades of Fishman, Slatkin, Vancouver/Bill Jordan and other stock market frauds, and the Hamburg real estate frauds).

Because the DoJ/FBI computers appear to be far from providing seamless cross integration and information, I am now able to let the left hand of government know what the right hand is doing. Accordingly, it is critical that all individual complainants where-ever provide me a copy of, or summary of, their complaint and particularly the agency/officer/contact information. In this way the various different field offices can be made aware of the linkage between the local event and the over-all conspiracies and violations requiring/being investigated and/or presented to the grand jury. L. Ron Hubbard wrote that under no circumstances was the church to ever allow a grand jury to be convened as to conduct of the church in destroying its critics and opponents.

3.    Because these many serious matters are now both public and media known and available, it will now be more difficult for the various federal, state and local agencies to engage in their usual form letter responses of, “It’s a church so we cannot see no evil, speak no evil or hear no evil. Go see a private attorney and sue in civil court.” As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” So too is a properly functioning and independent media.

4.    If the Department of Justice, through the U.S. Attorneys Offices and the F.B.I., fail to promptly, properly and fully investigate these matters and present them to the grand jury(ies), Anonymous may call upon U.S. Senate and House members to hold hearings as to why not.

5.     The European governments are also involved and watching what the United States government now does and the Department of Justice cannot properly ignore my offer to connect the European and United States investigators and prosecutors together on these issues.

6.    To paraphrase what the Scientology lawyers had Judge Williams say to me, “It is now the Scientology enterprise and its lawyers, etc. who now must sit there and take it.”

7.    Under the provisions of the secret and classified Scientology-United States 1993 tax settlement agreement, the different federal, state and local investigations that are now focusing upon the Scientology enterprise and certain of its lawyers, investigators, celebrities and members, must be reported to the I.R.S. by the Church’s Tax Compliance Committee. However, David Miscavige has effectively imprisoned each of its members in “the Hole” at Gold Base in Gilman Hot Springs, California.

8.    Because of the different federal, state and local investigations that are now focusing upon the Scientology enterprise and certain of its lawyers, investigators, celebrities and members, there are potential conflicts of interest between the Scientology enterprise and certain of its lawyers, investigators, celebrities and members. Accordingly, each of these potentially adverse and/or conflicted parties should be advised of the pending matters and urged to consult truly independent counsel outside of the church and its membership. This includes: each of the 166 Scientology corporations (to eliminate corporate alter ego issues); the Scientology captive law firms (e.g. Moxon & Kobrin/Paquette); and the outside law firms such as Latham & Watkins, Rosen and Reeves/Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, Feffer/Williams & Connally, Chaleff/Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, etc.

9.      Tom Cruise’s and John Travolta’s outside counsel must be immediately and fully informed of every aspect of the allegations against the church and permitted to view the related evidence when that is available. Perhaps, because of R.I.C.O.s potential financial penalties, even Katie Holmes should receive fully informed and truly independent counsel.

10.     Mike Rinder, Marty Rathbun and Ronnie Miscavige should also seek fully informed independent legal advice and immediately request immunity from prosecution in exchange for their full co-operation and testimony. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, even American lawyers will eventually do the honest and proper thing, after they have tried everything else!

11.    In addition, all of the Scientology and law firm insurance carriers (e.g; directors, officers, attorneys errors and omissions policies, etc.) will need to be put on notice of potential claims and exposures resulting from the requested investigations and grand jury presentations. Some financial security instruments may also contain similar triggers to immediate mandatory reporting provisions.

12.    The Los Angeles Police Department, other county and state law enforcement agencies, the Los Angeles City Council and its Bureau of Street Services, and other potentially culpable governmental agencies and officers may also require fully informed independent legal advice.

Now we can all move on with further expressions of support and documentation, and with the filing of other criminal complaints, I.R.S. criminal complaints and requests, O.S.H.A. and other labor, health, safety, welfare type complaints and, for example, maritime complaints regarding the M.V. Freewinds asbestos situation. W.I.S.E., Narconon, Applied Scholastics and the other false-front cash cows and unlawful medical practices should also be the subject of immediate investigation and presentation to the grand jury, as indicated in the draft declaration below.

IMHO, our mutual mission is to now convince the legislative and executive branches of the government to prosecute the unlawful conduct of the Scientology enterprise before the judicial branch in full transparent and public view of the people of these United States. I suggest Operation You Got Mail. Harpoon the government with the biggest letter writing, fax and email campaign in history. Flood the government with letters. A letter a day will put the cult away!

Boris has emphasized to me that we must get the Anons and Channers to instantly report Scientology wrongful conduct to the F.B.I. or U.S. Attorney’s offices. Because these matters are now flowing into the Department of Justice and F.B.I. from different field offices it is becoming increasingly difficult and very dangerous for the Scientology enterprise to engage in its usual obstruction of justice.

In addition, the fence-sitting ex-Scientologists who are squatting on incriminating documents must collectively be turned over to the F.B.I. and U.S. Attorney’s offices. There is power and protection in numbers.  This is something that Jason Beghe has also been urging.

I know it is in the nature of the Channers to “attack, never defend” but please remember that I am merely exercising my best professional judgment, based on 18 years of battling the Scientology enterprise. It is easy to cynically criticize from the sidelines!

In addition, for over four months I have spent most of my time assisting Anonymous in these matter without any charge whatsoever (a/k/a free or pro bono). That will continue, although Virgin mobile pre-paid phone cards and Office Depot/Staples gift cards (toner and paper) will be gratefully received. There is no fun, status or profit in returning to the number one position on the O.S.A. hit list!

Because I am your pro bono (or free) attorney in these matters, each of you may communicate confidentially with me. You can PM me on Enturbulation.Org (under my own name) and you can email me at [email]AnonymousLawyer@Hushmail.com[/email] You need only tell me that you are communicating with me as an attorney and, as a general rule, the attorney-client confidential relationship immediately exists.  I also appreciate and encourage constructive suggestion and comment, particularly from those lawyers, police officers and congressional staffers who are participating within Anonymous. Sometimes a client will notice something that the lawyer has not yet seen in the midst of the complexities and confusion of the moment. However, if I have a serious suspicion that I am communicating with an O.S.A.-BOT, it may cause me to spare that person little further time in the collective best interest.

None of you should communicate directly with Scientologists or their representatives in these matters, without first contacting and informing me. If there are any such attempted contacts you should terminate the communication and consult with me.

I will provide further reports, information and advice from time to time.

It has been and is my honor and privilege to serve and represent your interests in these matters and this global struggle against Scientology abuses, crimes and frauds, etc.

Anonymous is awesome, and its New York Anon girls sure can boogie too!

Long live Long Cat!
