DECLARATION OF ROBERT VAUGHN YOUNG
I, Robert Vaughn Young, declare that I am over 18 years of age and
am a resident of Newport Beach, California.
INTRODUCTION
I have been retained as an expert consultant and expert witness by
Dr. Uwe Geertz's counsel in the case captioned Church of Scientology
International v. Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz. *CV-6426-HLH (Tx)
currently pending in the United States District Court, Central District of
California. The statements herein are of my own personal knowledge or
reasonably based upon information and belief, and if called upon as a
witness, I can testify competently thereto.
This declaration is submitted in support of Defendant Dr. Geertz's
motion for costs. fees. expenses and sanctions following the dismissal of this
action with prejudice by the court on February 22, 1994.
My credentials as an expert on Scientology includes over 20 years as
a staff member in the organization. In those 20 years, I have held nearly
every type of position at every echelon. I have worked at the local, the
regional, the national and the international levels. I have been a Scientology
representative and spokesman before governmental bodies, the media andthe
courts. I have trained others
on how to handle the media and
governmental agencies. I have been the most senior public relations
executive for Scientology world wide. I worked for years at the echelon that
handles critics, "enemies," the media, judges, the courts and the government.
I have been privy to documents and tactics of the most secret nature,
including illegalities committed by Scientology executives and the means of
cover-up. I have been called on many occasions to personally handle "hot"
situations of the most sensitive nature ranging from the mysterious death of
the son of Scientology Founder Ron Hubbard ("Hubbard") to the death of
Hubbard himself. I have been privy to financial schemes and scams
involving tens of millions of dollars. I also know how Scientology
manipulates the law to avoid any revelation of the truth.
SCIENTOLOGY ADVOCATES USING THE
COURTS NOT TO SEEK JUSTICE BUT
TO HARASS AND RUIN PEOPLE
Plaintiff Church of Scientology International's ("CSI") request that
this case be dismissed is in keeping with one of their most senior
scriptures," to use to courts to harass and ruin people rather than win. It
has been a primary tactic since Hubbard gave the edict in 1955 when hewrote the
purpose of bringing a
lawsuit:
"The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather
than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough
harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway,
well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to
cause his professional decease. If possible. of course ruin him
utterlv." (From Hubbard's 1955 "The Scientologist: A Manual of
Dissemination of Material." Emphasis added. Attached as Exhibit A)
The basic reason that Scientology does not use the courts for justice
is because Hubbard believed the Scientology justice system he invented was
vastly superior and that his system should become the planetary standard.
DR. GEERTZ IS THE TARGET OF
SCIENTOLOGY'S VOW TO DESTROY "THE PSYCHS"
The key to understanding the mystery of the current lawsuit and its
tortuous route will be found in the above Hubbard directive plus one further
element: Defendant Dr. Uwe Geertz is a psychologist. Scientology has
vowed to destroy and take over the field of mental health. Thus Dr. Geertz
