Sunday, July 22, 2007 There Are Many Freezone Members that Are Leaving
There are many unsatisfied and angry members of the Free Zone that are leaving, from Australia to the United States to Russia.  We have received numerous new stories which will be published soon.  Outrageous squirrelling and lack of results are reported as the underlying factor of departures.
 
Tuesday, July 17, 2007 The Hauris and the OPC on YouTube
An interesting video-expose has been found on YouTube that illustrates alleged cooperation between the German intelligence agency OPC, and Freezone groups influenced by Swiss citizens Max and Erica Hauri.  The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZEoC8Ypr-U.
 
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Russian Police Raid Freezone Group Again.
We learned that another raid was conducted by various Police forces in Moscow at a Freezone gathering in the greater Moscow area.  This resulted in fines issued on the owner of the building and several Freezoners, including "two Swiss citizens".  We are waiting for the official document on this which will then be posted.
 
Monday, April 3, 2006 Russian Police Arrest Several Freezone Members
It seems that Max and Erica Hauri have been lining their pockets at the expense of their own staff members, and avoiding proper sales taxes along the way. Police inspected a Freezone operation on 30 March and arrested three people. Get the full story in this Open Letter from Vladimir Lukard.  What we have is a translation to English and is posted as we received it.  We have requested a copy of the Russian text so that it can be verified.
 
Monday, March 20, 2006 Henrik Salbol -- New Findings
A very smart Survivor from Florida sent us some public records documents concerning a company called Viking Services Group LLC which is owned by Henrik Salbol and which we are publishing here.

According to these documents Mr. Salbol has outstanding IRS liens amounting to over $25,000 which were filed in Brevard County, Florida on the 25th of October 2002. You can see the document here.

Another tax lien for $2,123.12 was filed also in Brevard County on the 24th of March 2005. You can see the document here.

We don’t know if Salbol has made any arrangements for payments but it is noted that Henrik Salbol has a history of setting up companies which then are closed fairly soon. Is this something related to avoiding taxes? We’ll see.

Another Survivor from the UK has collected the names of all the companies that Salbol has been a director of and these will be published as soon as possible.
 

Wednesday, February 22, 2006 Henrik Salbol
Henrik Salbol is a Free Zone adherent who is currently working to organize a new Free Zone group in Great Britain.  Also a business man with enterprises in several countries, Mr. Salbol has been found to have close connections with Abdul Mabood Siddiqui and Abu Bakr Siddiqui, recently made famous for dealings with Abdul Qadeer Khan, a supplier of illicit nuclear arms materiel to Lybia and Iran. Read the full story here.
 
Thursday, November 17, 2005 New Case History -- Vladimir.  A Message to Ron's Org in Russia
A Russian who has been involved with Ron's Org wrote to us this week with his take on Ron's Org in Russia.  He especially takes up the corrupted form of Scientology practiced by Erika and Max Hauri and the effect that it has had on those who have placed their trust in the Hauris.  Vladimir's report corroborates the booklet by Ilia Murov, Psychiatry in the Free Zone.
 
Saturday, August 13, 2005 Addition to the web site:  Methods Used by Freezone Recruiters
We received last week a very informative essay from a Freezone Survivor living in Europe. He starts with, "I have studied, from front seat, the methods used by splinters to sell the splinter idea to on-line scientologists." And he goes on to outline eight methods used by splinter recruiters. Give it a look; it is at www.freezonesurvivors.to/mcarthur.html.
 
Wednesday, July 6, 2005 Additions to the web site.  Psychiatry in the Free Zone.
Much has happened with the Freezone Survivors web site in the past few weeks. The biggest thing is the publication of "Psychiatry in the Free Zone", a short book by Ilia Murov that he was gracious enough to let us use.

Mr. Murov was a participant in the Free Zone groups of Kiev, Ukraine and other parts the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). He became interested in the number of ways in which institutional psychiatry cropped up in the Free Zone's dealings and especially in the background of Free Zone leaders in the CIS. His interest led to an investigation and the first fruits of that are in his booklet "Psychiatry in the Free Zone" (Психиатрия В Свободной Зоне).

The original work in Russian is located at freezone-psych.sbn.bz in two Adobe Acrobat files. Our web-page transcription of the booklet in Russian begins at www.freezonesurvivors.to/pifz_ru_content.html. We completed an English translation and that starts at www.freezonesurvivors.to/pifz_en_content.html. Please pardon the quality of the translation; it was a fast effort by several people. It has its rough spots but I think that you will get the gist of what Ilia had to say. Also, if you read Russian well and note an inaccuracy in the English translation, please let us know.

Ilia Murov's work has led to a re-look at a number of other Free Zone and Ron's Org figures outside the CIS, using material that we already had to hand. Take a look at the story of Rey Robles, for instance.

More on this angle soon!

French Freezoner Charged With Sexual Abuse.
Prosecutor requested 5 years of jail.
A Freezoner from France, Philippe Levy who is involved in various practices such as osteopathy, acupuncture, massages, dietetics and psychological counseling was charged with sexual abuse by a French prosecutor.

Mr. Levy has been attending various Freezone (Ron’s Org) conferences held over the years and he was a speaker at the 1999 conference held in Germany along with Max and Erika Hauri, Bernd Lubeck and others.

The story ran on French TV, France 3 channel. According to France 3 Mr. Levy stated that “…his methods consisted in releasing the sexual energy of its patient” however the young woman that filed a complaint on Levy told another story alleging that Levy lead her to perform certain acts [specifics are not given in the article about what acts but this wording is replaced by a series of “dashes”].

If you speak French you can read the original article and watch a video clip of the news item directly on france3.fr here.

We will have a translation of the French article up shortly.
 

Friday, May 20, 2005 Michael Moore named in additional, related gold scam case.
We have just learned that Michael Moore has been named as a defendant in a related gold-scamming case.  Filed April 13, 2005 in the State of Washington, case number CV05-0706, Clifton vs. One Groupe International, charges Gold Today and Michael Moore among others with racketeering.  A jury trial is requested.

The complaint states that Michael Moore, as the owner of Gold Today, provided exchange services between people seeking investments and One Group International, in a Ponzi scheme of large proportions operated by One Group and its principals.

The alleged charges include:  Violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Collusion in RICO violations mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering, Common law fraud, Aiding and abetting common law fraud, Negligent misrepresentation, Breach of fiduciary duty, Unjust enrichment (keeping money one shouldn't have), and imposition of a constructive trust (misuse of trust property).

So, far from no longer being named in this matter, additional details have come to light in an international scheme that would make a good John Grisham novel.
 

Friday, May 6, 2005 Michael Moore response
We received the following from Michael Moore: 

“The prime purposes of the IFA still stand and I think they are excellent purposes. 

Preserve the exact technology and original workable philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard for future use so it is available for all mankind. 

Protect the exact technology and original workable philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard so it is not altered, diluted or changed in anyway but remains exactly as Lafayette Ron Hubbard issued it. 

Promote the exact technology and original workable philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard so it may be known by all mankind 

Do you disagree with these purposes?” 

ANSWER: 

No, we don’t disagree with these purposes; we do think however that Mr. Moore is going 180 degrees against these purposes.  Specifics: Mr. Moore has invited Tommy Thompson, to Australia and has widely publicized this in his web site.  Thompson is the epitome of “altering, diluting and changing” Scientology technology.  Have you seen Tommy drinking coffee during an auditing session?  Which HCO B written by L. Ron Hubbard covers this Michael?  Have you ever heard of the Auditor’s Code?  Go to what’s tommy up to link on this site and you can find out for yourself. 
 

Sunday, May 1, 2005 Freezone Spamming
We received several e-mails all containing the same e-mail message that Michael Moore has sent to us.  It seems a spamming attempt.  Mr. Moore was notified of this and he denied having organized the spamming attack.  Still remains unexplained why all these people would have a copy of Mr. Moore’s e-mail.  We advise anyone that is planning any such spamming that complaints will be filed with the concerned ISPs in case the spamming continues. 
 
Saturday, Apr 30, 2005 Michael Moore & his lawsuit
We received an e-mail from Michael Moore, the president of the Freezone Association International with the subject line: “CofS covert attempt to discredit the IFA”.  In this e-mail Michael Moore attempts to disprove the information about a Ponzi scheme lawsuit filed in New York by Osrecovery, Inc. on a number of defendants including Michael Moore both as an individual and as the president of Gold-Today, a gold exchange provider.

In this e-mail Mr. Moore said: 

“b. Gold-today has since been removed from the suit, *as has all the exchange providers*. omittted data.

“c. I no longer own gold-today having sold it some time ago.
omitted data. *None* of the exchange providers have been indicted, either US or *overseas*. omitted data

“d. Judge Kaplan has ruled
http://news.com.com/2100-1030_3-5553141.html"
 

We have looked at this link and there is no mention of Michael Moore nor Gold-Today much less their removal from the case.

Of note is that Mr. Moore says “None of the exchange providers have been indicted” yet this is not a criminal case but a civil lawsuit. Is there a criminal case going somewhere on this? 

So unless Mr. Moore can provide some clear cut proof to the contrary we will have to assume that Mr. Moore is still a defendant in the Ponzi scheme lawsuit. However one of our survivors from New York went to the trouble of checking the docket sheet of the case and found that Mr. Moore is still named as defendant in the last amended complaint.

Sorry Michael, nice try.

Of course if anyone wants to provide us with any additional documents or news on this we will be glad to review it and publish it as the case may be.
 

Saturday, Apr 23, 2005 London Freezone meeting
One of our UK survivors was at the London meeting organized by Ewa and Mike Manias. 

She said that things are changing; she will send us a more detailed report but wanted us to know that she did do a good deed while there.  She said that a guy called Jay brought a new girl who had never been there before.  They were talked to and were quite friendly.  The girl did not know about Saint Hill, so was given details and she was intrigued about LRH and the manor.  At lunchtime we got hold of them again and gave her the Freezone Survivors website, which she was very pleased to get! 

She also spoke with Mike Manias who said that they are not Free Zone, they don’t invite them and they don’t want them there. Changes can happen… 

Travellers Rest
Here is a picture of The Travelers Rest
