HOW TO REPORT CRIMES COMMITTED ON BEHALF OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY TO FEDERAL LAW OFFICIALS

This information was provided to me recently, directly from an FBI Special Agent. I'm posting this anonymously, for obvious reasons, and there are no dox that will be provided. You will notice a lot of repetitive phrases. This is intentional. Also, it's very TL; DR but this is the way it needs to be posted.

To anyone who has been a victim of actionable crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology, who has witnessed actionable crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology, and/or who has perpetrated crime(s) on behalf of the Church of Scientology:

• US federal law enforcement agencies can't confirm/deny that there is an active case investigating the Church of Scientology, and will never be able to confirm/deny to you that there is or isn't one.
  

• 
  If you're a victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, are a witness of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or are a perpetrator of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology that occurred or are occurring in the United States and you are currently not residing in the US, you must contact the nearest FBI liaison in the country in which you are living or the federal law enforcement organization in the country in which you are residing. Those officials will involve the appropriate US authorities if they deem the firsthand reports to be valid, actionable, etc.

• 
  Many countries have an FBI presence. To locate the office in which to make your report: http://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/legat

• 
  For crimes committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology outside of the US, contact your respective country's national law enforcement service.

• 
  Victims of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witnesses of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or perpetrators of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology must make the report themselves because they experienced it firsthand. They must have firsthand knowledge/evidence of the crime(s) committed, the crime(s) must have been committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology, and evidence is needed (if available) that shows actionable crime(s) have been committed. No one can serve as "middleman" for victims of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witnesses of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or perpetrators of crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology. (I am sure there may be exceptions, such as if the person is dead. I am just reporting what I was told.)
  

• 
  Leaks, forum posts, posted documentation, videos, exes' stories published online, etc., can be helpful, interesting and/or funny, but they're not actionable from a federal law-enforcement perspective without coming directly from the source and given directly to federal law enforcement officials. IOW, the feds won't likely come to you - you need to go to them. It's the actual firsthand knowledge and evidence provided directly to the FBI by victims of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witnesses of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or perpetrators of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology that will enable any case to be opened, investigated, and/or prosecuted.

• 
  Anything reported needs to be accompanied by evidence you have of actionable "stuff". This does not include any leaked documents found posted online or on forums unless the person making the report to the FBI is in possession of the original evidence and was involved firsthand in crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology.

• Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whether the victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, the witness of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or the perpetrator of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology has been subjected to brainwashing, is too scared to come forward on their own, etc. If the original source doesn't reach out to the FBI themselves, the FBI's hands are tied.

Steps exes and any other firsthand victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witness of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, and/or a perpetrator of crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology need to take:

• Go to the nearest FBI office and ask to speak with the "Duty Agent".

• Explain you are there as a victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witness of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, and/or a perpetrator of crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology (and bring all original evidence related to your situation that is available to you).

• Unfortunately, disconnection isn't considered actionable when reported by someone other than victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, witnesses of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, or perpetrators of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology. (For example, family members' reports aren't actionable unless they witnessed crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, firsthand.)

• "If they're there voluntarily, brainwashed or not, there is nothing the FBI can do."
  

• HOWEVER, if you are the actual victim who was held (or is currently being held) against your will on behalf of the Church of Scientology (such as the RPF) and have evidence and/or information on what crimes were committed against you done on behalf of the Church of Scientology or by you on behalf of the Church of Scientology during that time, REPORT IT. It cannot just be hearsay, and you must be able to testify to the occurrence of said criminal acts.

Really, REALLY important things to understand

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF (OR USE AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT REPORT) any statutes of limitations information or constraints if you are a victim of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology, a witness of crime(s) done on behalf of the Church of Scientology or a perpetrator of a crime(s) committed on behalf of the Church of Scientology. It is up to federal law enforcement/federal prosecutors to determine statute of limitation impacts, not people on the internet, no matter how knowledgeable they are on the subject, including arm-chair and actual attorneys and paralegals. Don't rely on any web site information, either.

If you witnessed or participated in crimes against someone else on behalf of the Church of Scientology, and are afraid of legal repercussions, explain that you are afraid of legal repercussions to the Duty Agent at your nearest FBI office or contact the US Attorney's Office directly to request some of type of immunity for cooperation. No guarantees, of course.

OP here. Not sure why the font is so small and the formatting is messed up. I've reported it to the mods for fixing. Until it's corrected, my apologizes.

this needs to be cross posted on ESMB

BUMP!

i hope Marty reads this.

It's picking up format from the page you copied from. In the future, after you paste, select all the text, then hit the Remove Formatting button of the upper left of the editing box.

Thank you, Winning and DeathHamster, for your help.

Love,
OP

Bamp.

/r/ sticky - this is hugely valuable. And thank you OP for the succinct summary of cutting thru the crap.

Seconded.

Can't believe it took so long for someone to put this together. Great stuff OP.

By the way, this shit should be stickied like, everywhere.

Herro? Giving credit where it's due?

I think Satan just announced a snowman-building competition

I, The Heretic, hereby request this thread to be stickied on grounds of high usefulness and value.

Somebody needs to cross-post it on ESMB [if it hasn't already been done].

Enlarged font in OP. Thanks for this valuable information!

Something like this would also be good in flier form. And no I'm not going to do it.

the doxmeister is already on the case for a simple one... but i might not get it made available for d/l until i get off work for the day. (2-3hrs from now)

EDIT: see below

OP here. I forgot to mention one thing to all exes, critics, Anon, OG, etc.:

Per the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (and I quote): "THE FBI DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH PROTESTS OR ACTIVISM AGAINST THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY AS LONG AS IT'S DONE LEGALLY."

Chew on that, OSA, and remember making false bomb threats is a federal offense, even (especially?) when you put the blame on an innocent individual, group, or collective.

I just posted it over at martys.
Interested to see what happens.
There is of course the irony of it.
Thanks op.

Excellent. Someone who speaks multiple languages might want to talk to anons in other countries about this and see if they might be able to come up with something similar for their respective countries and law enforcement agencies.

Indeed.
Mahty has not allowed the copypasta of the OP on his site.
What a cunt.

You're surprised by this?

No herro,but i lived in hope.

Also - artfags that dont suffer from the severe shoop disabilities liek i do, should prolly still do a snazzy flier version.

I went to the FBI once to report the abuse of a Sea Org member -- she was standing on her knees in front of a Scientology official who was “disciplining” her. I did not know what she did, but I did not like what I saw. I was out of Sea Org at that time but still believed in Scientology. I threatened him with the use of physical force and he backed off. I was naïve at that time and thought it was an isolated incident, I did not blame the whole Church for what I saw, just that particular person. I threatened him couple more times when I run into him near CoS headquarters in Los Angeles.
The FBI agent listen to my story and said that the girl should file her own complaint, they cannot act based on my report. I went to LAPD but they told me the same.

^^^^^^^ Such are the ways of law enforcement ^^^^^^^

Exactly the same in Canada. I know next to nothing about the UK and Europe.

I think it's a positive sign that the FBI is willing to talk to people about this. I once tried to report a pedophile ring (yeah really) to them and was told to go to local law enforcement, all the FBI does now is terrorism.

Wow, nice guide post OP. I remember last year Anons were vehemently against reporting anything to partyvan.inc Thanks for submitting this.

This is very interesting. Can I just say that it's very human to be afraid to report anything to authorities?
And when we're talking about Scientology, I want to add please write down everything you know first, then go back later, read it, add more or edit. Think in terms of evidence. Google evidence if you need to for what evidence is admissable and what is not. Then go back over what you wrote. Witnesses, that's next. Any witnesses, write those down. Track down contact info if you can, but at least write down last known.

Consider this when asking yourself if you should report something: If every person who Should Have, Would Have, in the last 60 years, I wouldn't be writing this and you wouldn't be reading it. k, tks

OP here.

That is not true. They do have a domestic terrorism unit, but they have many others, such as human trafficking. Human trafficking is huge right now, worldwide, and doesn't just include the human sex trade, but those moved and housed against their will, and used for labor/slave labor. Exes who had been refused their passports when they requested them to be returned, for example, could be significant reports.

Of course, it can be very scary or embarrassing for someone reporting to authorities, depending on the person and the situation. You don't have to go by yourself, but if it's your story, you're the one who needs to tell it.

Here's the deal. We may not know what they do when we file a report, because they likely won't tell us right then and there. But, the bottom line is - the report gets filed and investigated to some degree. Paper trails are needed, and we do know, however what WON'T happen if we don't make reports. I don't know what they did or didn't do in the past. But, I do know what they're doing now. They're listening. I promise you, they're listening.

Onesie-twosie reporting is great, but just imagine if everyone you know who is a former victim/witness/perpetrator of crimes done on the behalf of Scientology would come forward, en masse. Like a phoenix, rising from the ashes...

Here are some trusted hotlines for help, too. They may be able to help someone in reporting crimes, or they might simply be able to provide resources for healing, even years after the abuse.

• National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA)1-800-879-6682 http://www.trynova.org/
• National Child Abuse Hotline (Childhelp) (for help, not reporting) 1-800-422-4452 http://www.childhelp.org/pages/hotline
• National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) http://www.thehotline.org/
• National Runaway Switchboard 1-800-621-4000 http://www.1800runaway.org/
• National Sexual Assault Crisis Line (RAINN) 1-800-656 HOPE http://www.rainn.org/get-help/national-sexual-assault-hotline
• National Hopeline Hotline 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) http://www.hopeline.com/
• The Trevor Helpline (suicide hotline for LGBT teens) 1-866-488-7386 http://www.thetrevorproject.org/
• Gay and Lesbian National Help Center 1-888-843-4654 (national hotline) http://www.glnh.org/

For the last two years I asked all the victims/perps/witnesses of any crime committed by CO$ to go to the FBI, even if you think they will not do a thing. The quantity of complains will make the FBI react as well as the abuse gravity.
Make sure you have the evidence/testimonies/documents/photos, etc.
Stay safe.

Bump!

Probably someone should contact the victims -- perhaps, they need encouragement to step forward.
When I was living in LA, CA, the Jewish Center was running Cult Awareness Program designed to help former cult members. A lot of victims were former Scientologists. Hopefully, someone living in LA (currently I live in NYC, so I cannot help) could contact the victims via the Jewish Center.

The Jews have their own sort of cult awareness thing called footsteps: http://www.footstepsorg.org/
But it's more to help ultra orthodox Jews to leave their cult...umm...religion and live a normal life [I'm Jewish, I'm allowed to call them names!!!].
