The
RU Sirius Show recently had Keith Henson — the L5 Society founder
who has been in a long legal conflict with Scientology — on his show.
As R.U. was editing the show for publication on 10
Zen Monkeys, Henson was re-arrested in Arizona. Both the latest
news and the interview (about cool stuff like how to build a space
elevator and solar power satellites) are included in the 10 Zen
Monkeys write-up.
RU: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about your
upcoming case.KH: (Laughs) Which one? I've got three of them open
at the moment. There's a motion to correct an injunction the Riverside
court was not permitted to issue; a bankruptcy case that has got
tangled up recently with O.J. Simpson's; and this extradition business
in Arizona. That last one requires the California governor to sign an
extradition warrant, and there's been enough complaints to him about
it that I don't think he's going to do it. (ed: He did, on May
1)RU: It's weird to hear O.J. Simpson's name come up. I
don't suppose you can talk any more about your connection with OJ.
There could be a book contract in there for you — the
book industry loves OJ!KH: Well, I can give you a quick thing. It turns out
that that the lawyer for the other side in a bankruptcy case involving
my bank worked against OJ Simpson — I think it was for the Goldbergs.
So he asked for a delay in my case.RU: We will contemplate all aspects of your possible
connections with the OJ case over the coming weeks and months and
maybe get back to it. "If the e-Meter doesn't fit, you must acquit" or
something.
