Rodney Yoder is a 'psychiatric prisoner' in the Chester Mental Health Facility
in downstate Chester, Illinois. On Feb. 28 Rodney recorded an audio message to
his 'supporters' that was a slanderous attack on me. I wrote this public
letter on the Yoder supporters site

Rodney Yoder in his Feb. 28 audio musings has slandered and attacked
me with a barrage of lies and goofy statements. I know that he was
given this batch of lies and vitriol by his attorney Randy Kretchmar.
I want to clear some of this up.
First, Rodney, I have never, ever asserted that you hate Jews, blacks
and women. If Randy told you this then he will be held accountable.
Yes, I do have to use oxygen for health reasons. For Rodney to
attempt to taunt me and demean me is really very low. I know that he
got this from Randy Kretchmar as the Church of Scientology has tried
to use this against me before. I have many emails from him taunting
me over my use of oxygen. I wonder how many of your supporters
know of a 'church' that would taunt and demean people who are
disabled. I only know of one.
Yes, I am...was a professional musician. I am fairly well known in
the classic jazz world and I have a number of recordings out. I have
never made any claims to being a super star or a celebrity. For
health reasons I am no longer working in music.
Yoder claims that I support psychiatry as though I am supporting
something undesirable. I certainly do support psychiatry as an
important specialty in medicine. Psychiatry is the toughest arena
within medicine and requires long and intense training. Many
important strides in psychiatric treatment have been made in recent
times.
Yoder claims that I recruited John Prior. Recruited him for what.
John prior is a hard working , honorable guy. Who has worked harder
for Rodney Yoder And Yoder and Kretchmar turn on him overnight.
When I first heard the Kretchmar had signed on as Yoder's attorney I
contacted John Prior. I felt that he had the right to know the truth
about Kretchmar and why he had gotten involved in this. I believed
that he had the right to know that Randy Kretchmar is a lying,
devious member of the Church of Scientology. Kretchmar is not just a
member he is one of their operatives and he is piggy backing Yoder's
case to further the Church of Scientology's weird anti-psychiatry
agenda.
Rodney Yoder tries to attack me because I was with CAN. CAN was the
Cult Awareness Network, a non-profit organization that collected
public domain information on groups that are considered by the public
to be destructive cults, and made that information available to the
public. This was a valuable service to so many families as the
proliferation of mind controlling cults and groups escalated.
I was a Scientologist but I got out when I realized that Scientology
was turning into a vicious and greedy cult. L. Ron Hubbard, the wacko
founder of Scientolgoy/Dianetics grew more insane by the day. I was
a member when Hubbard had an epiphany and realizied that he could get
out of paying taxes by declaring his Scientology concoction a
religion. We were told to wear clerical collars and to call ourselves
ministers so that the public would perceive us as a real 'Church.' It
was an amusing farce then but is a dangerous con now.
I saw family after family bankrupted and broken up from scientology
involvement. I determined to do what I could to expose the frauds and
crimes committed by this phony 'church.' I found out about CAN and
offered myself as a reference on Scientology. Eventually I was asked
if I would work in the CAN office which was in Barrington, IL.
Working at CAN was a very enlightening, educational and disturbing
experience. To be able to talk with so many people devastated by
involvement with destructive, coercive cults was disturbing. The
group that CAN got the most calls about was Scientology.
When I went to work at CAN, CAN was under seige from the Church of
Scientology. A massive campaign of harassment had been initiated and
Scientology had a network of agents and members across the country
involved with actions, many of them criminal in nature, to destroy
CAN. Randy KRetchmar was one of those agents. He operated a spy ring
out of his home and the Chicago Church of Scientology, and spied upon
former members and critics of Scientology. He usually operated in the
shadows and had others doing his front work. His wife makes big money
and finances his work for Scientology. I don't believe that he has
actually ever had a job.
CAN was infiltrated by two spies who were set up by Scientology.
Kretchmar was involved with both. One of them in a Declaration
detailed a Scientology plot to murder Cynthia Kisser, the ED of CAN
and my boss. Randy Kretchmar was named in that Declaration as an
accomplice in this plot. Fortunately, the plot was aborted but they
had tracked Ms. Kisser's path from her home to the CAN office. The
plan was to cut her brake lines and follow her to ensure that she had
a fatal accident.
Randy Kretchmar put together a smear packet on me and sent it out to
people who had called CAN for information on Scientology. He used the
address of one of his associates on this packet. Sadly, that
associate killed himself last year after being bankrupted of $500,000
by the Church of Scientology, in addition to being driven mad on
Scientology's bizarre secret courses. The story of this tragedy was
written up in the Chicago Reader. A powerful account that was the
feature article Aug. 16, 2002. It is available by download for $3.95
on the Reader website.

CAN had a staff of 5 people with a network of affiliates around the
country. I can't recall any of us kidnapping and duct taping peopole
to deprogram them out of their religions as Rodney Yoder claimed
that we did.
The Court case that Yoder mentioned was the Jason Scott Case. this
was a phony case that was set up by and financed by the Church of
Scientology. It is an interesting case but too involved to go into
here. Ultimately Jason Scott realized that he had been conned and
used by Scientology, he disavowed one award and sold the other
million dollar award for $20,000. Guess who bought it.
There is a great deal more to the CAN saga and how Scientology
harassed CAN right into bankruptcy. Randy Kretchmar was involved in
some of the crimes and illegal actions that were perpetrated agaisnt
CAN. Justice will yet be served.
Scientology has a rabid anti-psychaitry agenda and the reason for it
enters the twilight zone. L. Ron Hubbard declared that Scientology
would eradicate 'evil' psychiatry and would take over the field of
mental health. Scientologists are programmed on a daily basis with
psychiatry as an 'evil' enemy of mankind.
Scientologists are taught on very expensive and very secret courses
that all human have clusters of invisible alien spirits attached to
them and these are the cause of all human problems, mental and
physical. These are called by Hubbard 'Body Thetans' or BTs for short.
If you have arthritis, a BT is causing it, depression, a BT is
causing it. Only through Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard's
awesome 'Golden' Technology can you free yourself from these invisible
aliens.
Scientology uses a very effective hypnotic methodology to brainwash
its members into robots who can only think and speak L. Ron Hubbard.
They are very determined fanatics and they have a lot of money. Their
core agenda is to"Clear the planet' i.e. turn everyone into
scientologists. Then they are to join Hubbard in his work to 'Clear'
the galaxy. You see...L. Ron Hubbard didn't die, he is off in
another part of the galaxy continuing his work.
This is just a brief peek at the madness within Scientology.
Everything Scientology does is devious and Kretchmar's involvement
with Yoder is a prime example of this. When Scientology is done using
Yoder to attack 'evil' psychiatry, they will drop Yoder as fast as
Kretchmar dropped John Prior.
The CCHR is one of many Scientology front groups. The CCHR
distributes rabid literature full of lies and distortions about
psychiatric treatment. Those of you who have genuine concerns about
psychiatric treatment will have more success by staying away from
this devious hateful group.
When Rodney called me I told him that I had no interest in his case
one way or another. I don't know enough about it to render a
reasoned opinion. If he wants to do the right thing he will apologize
and retract every lie that he uttered in his recording of Feb. 28
