Keith Henson reviewed on RU Sirius show
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.LinkRU: 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.
