Acting in concert with Gerry Armstrong

The Injunction

On October 17, 1995, the Scientology organization, by frightful litigation skullduggery, got a Marin County California Superior Court Judge Gary W. Thomas to sign a bizarre and unconscionable injunction prohibiting Gerry Armstrong, his agents, employees, and persons acting in concert or conspiracy with him from directly or indirectly doing any of the following activities:

1. Assisting people with claims against any Scientology or Scientology affiliated church, organization or entity and any of their officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, volunteers, successors, assigns and legal counsel; Author Services, Inc., its officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, volunteers, successors, assigns and legal counsel; the Estate of L. Ron Hubbard, its executor, beneficiaries, heirs, representatives, and legal counsel; and/or Mary Sue Hubbard; (the “beneficiaries”);
2. Assisting people defending against any of the beneficiaries;
3. Assisting anyone litigating adversely to the beneficiaries;
4. Facilitating the creation of any work of any kind that discusses, refers to or mentions Scientology or any of the beneficiaries;
5. Discussing Scientology or any of the beneficiaries with anyone not a member of Gerry's immediate family or his attorney.

The Class

Gerry has no agents or employees, and conspires with no one. Conspiracy connotes an unlawful purpose, and nothing he does in doing any of these prohibited activities is unlawful. Many people do, however, act in concert with him, by doing something that the injunction prohibits them from doing.

The Threat

Since the Scientology beneficiaries obtained their injunction, they have threatened many people with its enforcement for acting in concert with Gerry. Indeed, as a result of Scientology’s enforcement efforts right into 2006 and up to the California Supreme Court, people all over the world are now threatened with jail sentences and fines for acting in concert with Gerry even in foreign countries.

The Injustice

The class of persons acting in concert with Gerry has never been afforded an opportunity to defend itself or its members in court, or to confront the Scientology beneficiaries who sought and crafted the injunction against the class. Yet the whole class is subject to and threatened by this ridiculous and unlawful injunction.

The Right

Every citizen of the world has a right, guaranteed by national and international human rights charters, to act in concert with Gerry and do the things the injunction prohibits person acting in concert with him from doing. The class of persons acting in concert with Gerry Armstrong can no more lawfully be prohibited from assisting Scientology’s victims than that class could be prohibited from assisting al Qaeda’s victims. The class can no more lawfully be prohibited from discussing or facilitating creative works about Scientology and the beneficiaries than persons acting in concert with Gerry could be prohibited from discussing Christianity, or Judaism, Psychiatry or Satanism or members of those groups.

The Action

The injunction is junk and eminently junkable. The purpose of this site is to locate and organize members of the class of persons acting in concert with Gerry and to fund, file and support a class action against the Scientology beneficiaries to bring them to junk the injunction. I am not a lawyer and nothing I have stated should be taken as legal advice. The class will hire a lawyer to prosecute our case as soon as possible.
