AFFIDAVIT OF GERALD ARMSTRONG

STATE OF OREGON

County of Multnomah 		)
) ss.
)

I, GERALD ARMSTRONG, being first duly sworn, depose and say that:

I was in Scientology from 1969 to 1981. During several long periods in the 1970's I had direct contact with L. Ron Hubbard and from 1979 through December 12, 1981, I worked directly for L. Ron Hubbard in his personal office.

I am very familiar with the steps taken by Mr. Hubbard and the Scientology organization to keep his whereabouts and the fact of his control of Scientology a secret. I am also knowledgeable of Mr. Hubbard's absolute control and the means by which he effected it. In 1980, I saw and was briefed on orders from Mr. Hubbard which showed his knowledge of the Christofferson case.

1

I have reviewed the document entitled " Christo Final Handling Eval" attached hereto which was produced in the instant case by the Defendants. I am familiar with Scientology and Guardian's office terms, positions and activities and am able to interpret the significance of this document for the Court.

This document is a Guardian Programme Order (GPGMO), an order for Guardian's office staff with various specific targets which must be carried out. The GPGMO is in the form of an Eval, an evaluation or data analysis, which finds a "why" or reason for a problem and seeks to correct the problem with the specific assigned targets. This GPGMO would have been issued in late 1981 since it refers to Charles Parselle as being the Ex Deputy Guardian for Legal at World Wide (E DGL WW). Mr. Parselle was removed as DGL WW in the Summer of 1981.

There are various references to "Senior Advices" or "R Advices" throughout this GPGMO. These terms were used in the Guardian's office and in all the top management units of Scientology from 1978 onwards for "LRH Orders", orders from L. Ron Hubbard. The reason for this was to cover up the fact that Mr. Hubbard was issuing orders into the GO or Scientology. The specific orders from Mr. Hubbard referred to in this GPGMO are:

A. File a Counterclaim on Julie Christofferson;

B. Bring criminal charges against the litigants;

2

C. Launch criminal proceedings against the investigators and perpetuators;

D. Disprove the false testimony and including false PL's (Hubbard's Policy Letters); and

E. Take legal action against Judge Jones for his making a mockery of the trial, including criminal proceedings as his actions are assumedly based in actual crimes.

A through E above were ordered by L. Ron Hubbard in August/September, 1979. They are again ordered in late 1981, as laid out in pages 6?8 of the GPGM0. These targets are given to All Clear IC US for execution. Mission All Clear was the title given to the unit which had the responsibility, as ordered by Mr. Hubbard, of resolving all his legal problems to the point where it was "all clear" for him to come out of hiding.

The following list of terms included in this GPGMO are defined in order to assist the Court in understanding this document:

HCO P/L's

—

L. Ron Hubbard's Policy Letters
HCO B's

— L. Ron Hubbard's Technical Bulletins
Comm Ev


— A Scientology internal justice/
disciplinary body
Watch Dog
Committee


 — The secret group of top Commodore's
messengers who ran Scientology,
answerable only to L. Ron Hubbard

. . .

3

Founder/Commodore

 — L. Ron Hubbard
Q & A —

"Question and Answer". Non-compliance with an Order
B1 — Bureau One of the Guardian's Office. The Intelligence Bureau, responsible for covert actions against people viewed as enemies
CP — Charles Parselle
GAS — Guardian Activities Scientologist. A covert operative for the Guardian office, not formally posted in the GO
R — L. Ron Hubbard
OM —

Omitted. Eg. OM Counter Attack - Omitted Counter Attack, a counter attack which should have occurred but did not.

(The notations like OM Hardling, Added Time, Wrong Target, etc. under the Data Section of the GPGMO are called "Outpoints". They are also called "illogics" in the Scientology logic system. They are errors or things which should not be
there. The person or unit responsible for the error is noted to the right of the outpoint. Eg. Ex DG L WW is Charles Parselle).
CI —

Counter-Intention. Doing something other than what was ordered. In this case, Charles Parselle was CI to the LRH order to gather up evidence of crimes by the litigants, and was thus removed from post.
WHY —

What caused the problem.
ETHICS WHY — The "crime" or violation which supposedly underlies the problem. In this case, Charles Parselle had

4

    failed to utilize and implement the LRH orders regarding getting the litigants (Christofferson and the attorneys) thrown in jail.
