Tom Cruise's lawyer threatens Amy Scobee, niece of Commander Dick Scobee of Challenger

For those of us who assumed Cruise was wisely distancing himself from Miscavige, I’ve got news.  DM is still deploying Tom’s lawyer Bert Fields as an attack dog.  After his failed attempts to shut me up Fields is now trying to shudder Amy Scobee into silence.  I have included a link to a letter recently sent from the august Mr. Fields directly to Amy.  TC 4.6.10 L-Amy Scobee

Now, I have some unsolicited advice for Fields (and by extension his nominal client Tom and his de facto client Dave):

Re drugs. Amy simply recounted a conversation wherein DM’s wife and Assistant Shelly Miscavige  told Amy that Tom was “so gung-ho” that he wanted to join the Sea Org but he didn’t qualify because of his previous drug history. Bert, you “doubt” Shelly ever said that? Then why not talk to the wife of your client’s best friend and find out? She is at the CST Mile High property near Lake Arrowhead California. She has been under constant surveillance by my former wife whom DM has turned in to a prison guard. But, I am sure Tom’s pal DM can get you brief visitation.

Re Break up with Nicole.  Amy doesn’t cover it in her book because  she did not have any first hand information about the circumstances of their break up.

Re Tom’s money being lost by Scientologists.  Amy covers her first-hand experience with Alan Hollander. He was sent to Amy to get him to join the Sea Org (even though he had huge pressing debts). DM had Alan immediately put in the bilges on the ship for punishment – for what reason, Amy did not know at that time. When Alan served his sentence and resurfaced, he told Amy he had been assigned to hard labor because he messed up on some investment for TC. She then was ordered to post him in CC Int. She complied, but he had to leave the Sea Org shortly thereafter because his debts were so bad and were not getting handled.  Bert, first check your facts with Hollander and your client. Then what you need to do is apply some “varying of the question” and ask DM about the Feshbachs. DM got Tom to invest a bundle with them as he had also done personally. The F brothers were making DM so much money personally from their short selling DM wanted to impress Tom with the caliber of his brand of OTs.  The Feschbachs lost  Tom’s and DM’s (new) investment money. In order to stay in with the in-crowd (perhaps so that their progeny might one day pimp for DM) they put their own money up to cover both Tom’s and DM’s losses.  It seems the more DM tries to muscle people, the more he refreshes my memory.

Re church paid staff working for Cruise. Amy did a project to hire Scientologists for TC’s household.  Amy went to Tom’s house and Jenny Gaynor (LRH Household Unit staff member) was there working for TC at the direction of Miscavige. Gaynor told Amy that Amy was replacing her on all the functions she was performing for Tom… (executive housekeeper, maid, cook).  Again Bert, why don’t you ask Jenny whether that is true, or DM, or Shelly, or perhaps even your nominal client?

It would appear to me that all you have accomplished for your client over the past year is to write letters that position Tom as being as  paranoid and aggressive as the cult leader he apparently follows.

Bert, I have some more fundamental advice for you.  You damage your client’s reputation more each day by aggressively pursuing DM’s agenda to bury TRUTH than by any TRUTH that Amy, or anyone else for that matter, might impart.

As Mr Hubbard put it: truth, though often fought, always in the end prevails.

PS: Don’t bother bitching to Amy about this post. She simply forwarded the letter for informal advice, since I had dealt with you qua DM’s lawyer in the past. I decided to post this on my own initiative, because I find your cover up tactics (particularly after being put on notice so thoroughly by me) are deplorable.

Gotta love that headline!

That letter from Bert Fields is going to be high-profile very soon. As the song goes, when will they ever learn?

I posted this on Marty's blog and would like to do so here:

Last November, I told part of my story to the St Pete Times – http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/article1048134.ece

Worked as Chef for TC when he first arrived to the Int Base and also went to Telluride, Co to serve at his wedding to Nicole in ‘90. Never got paid by TC, though lodging and car rental was covered and my then wife and I got SO pay to cover for food and additional warm clothing we had to buy. I guess Bert didn’t know about SO members working for the Scud.

I did observe that a Scn org board was devised by DM for TC and Alan Hollander brought up to meet TC and appointed as head. Also that the Feshbachs met with TC and handled some personal investments, as introduced by DM.

At one point I had to meet up with TC’s interior designer in LA of a house he was building in Pac Palisades to make sure the kitchen design was adequate and would work well. Other SO staff like Steve Marlowe did quite a bit of work in the design and installation of a personal cine theater at this house.

Even did a whole large Thanksgiving dinner at the Int Base for the family, mother, stepfather, sisters, kids etc. & Paula Wagner. Some time after Thanksgiving – Lou (Laurisse, COB Comm) had said that TC would pay me for catering the wedding in Telluride but then after we got back (after using my credit cards with the expenses) that DM decided we would not be.

I wish that Amy send a copy of that letter to all the media including the National Enquirer. I can't wait to read her book. You go girl!

Tom Cruise and his lawyer, Bert Fields, are pawns for a psychoic midget. Hey Tom, you might have shut down South Park, but you ain't shutting down Amy Scobee.

Cruise didn't succeed in shutting down South Park, he only changed the venue on which the derogatory material would be broadcast.

It's another great example of The Streisand Effect (see Leaving Scientolgy). All the noise that resulted from his lawyers' attempts to censor that venue ended up spreading the word far and wide across the internet, and people (like myself) who would normally not have a clue about what was going on with South Park, now know all the particulars about exactly how Cruise (and scientology) were held up to ridicule by that show. The South Park message got through to millions, and they were martyred at the alter of Freedom of Speech in the process by Cruise's lawyers. "Yeah, big victory for Tom."

So not only did Cruise NOT shutdown South Park, he did a drill so to speak of this same situation he faces now, and the results should have warned him that it's not a smart approach to the problem. Maybe the escalated blow-back from this one (Amy's book) will provide him with the education he apparently still needs that the internet cannot be handled as "business as usual" when it comes to handling PR flaps.

Thanks ex GEM for posting. As a note, the Streisand effect for this doesn't seem to be abating. There is great press interest in this and more articles seem to be forthcoming.

As an ex GEM myself and other audio staff worked with Steve Marlowe to move, set up and test TC's Infinity speaker system in DM's listening room in the lodges as well as upper RAV (now the translations unit. Marlowe would boast about how DM, he and Luigi (Gary Lew) had helped TC set up the A/V for his home theater. Also, we were required to move TC's personal MEST, speakers, amps, Scn books and materials and more that were being stored there around the Int Base. There was no question who we were working for and why.
