Fort Harrison Ave., Clearwater, Florida 33755 Telephone (727) 467-9335, Fax (727) 467-9345 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Mime-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: bob@minton.org Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology We are being asked to employ all sorts of people to help us and incurr significant additional equipment at The Lisa McPherson Trust. The budget at LMT is already very sizeable. Therefore, unless people other than me are willing to support The Lisa McPherson Trust financially right now, we are constrained. At the moment, we are working without the help of one our key officers, Kim Baker, until her immigration matters are sorted out. Kim will be the cornerstone of our outreach program into the CW community and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival in about 6 weeks. There are many very qualified people who would like to work with us. I could spend all the money I ever plan to spend on The Lisa McPherson Trust in the first year or two and be done with it in the hopes that others will step up to the plate and support it. I am not however a big believer in chance. Nevertheless, the financial support will eventually come but people want to see what we do and how we do it first. I understand that and nevertheless I fully expect that within 5 years, LMT will be self-sustaining. BUT, The Lisa McPherson Trust is planning to be in CW for the long term working with Scientologists to reform the evil that Miscavige perpetrates in and through the Church of Scientology; and to educate the naive in this country, starting with Clearwater, Florida about the dangers that the present Church of Scientology poses to the most basic freedoms of any democracy. The family of Lisa McPherson has given us their full support and, as you know, promised to give the vast majority of any settlement or award from trial to The Lisa McPherson Trust. Obviously, given The Church of Scientology's propensity to drag injustice out as long as possible, that money will not be forthcoming for a very long time. But the blood-stained money from Scientology will come. And, when that money comes, The Lisa McPherson Trust, named in honor of Lisa McPherson's never ending quest to be free of the abuse, deception and betrayal of the Church of Scientology, will wash the blood from Scientology's money and be forever endowed. That endowment to The Lisa McPherson Trust will provide the keys to unlock the chains binding lost souls to the Church of Scientology's abusive and deceptive practices as well as those trapped in other abusive mind-control cults. We expect we will have many supporters along the way. But without doubt our biggest supporter is that famous smiling face of Lisa McPherson. I've looked at her childhood photographs, pictures with family and friends, her high school graduation picture, her "Clear" picture and many others. There was so much hope and happiness and love in those dancing and mischievous eyes of Lisa's. Tragically, the Church of Scientology and people that Lisa trusted as friends, ripped that hope and happiness and love from her heart and replaced those dancing and mischievous eyes with the gaunt and sunken eyes seen on the autopsy table and captured forever in the autopsy photographs of her battered, bruised and dehydrated body. Scientology has yet to account for this murder and neither have her "friends." It is part of our responsibility at The Lisa McPherson Trust to tell Lisa's story and to force The Church of Scientology and Lisa's "friends" to account for Lisa's murder. Today, in a separate message, I will call upon Brenda Hubert, who knew Lisa for 20+ years to explain her part in Lisa's betrayal. Lisa, we will never forget you! Robert S. Minton, Chairman The Lisa McPherson Trust P.S. Take a look on alt.binaries.scientology or alt.binaries.misc at the new look planned for The Lisa McPherson Trust Building in Clearwater.
