[Note: I doubt that this law is enforced and it may not even be valid
any more. Scientology and its numerous domestic and international
espionage and terrorist activities conducted down through the years
and continuing today certainly qualifies as being a Subversive Organization.
But really, which fascist, totalitarian, anti-Democratic criminal business
would ever actually register? It seems that this law was added to give
the prosecution an additional indictment they could hand down to such
groups like Scientology - flr.]

CORPORATIONS CODE
35000. This title may be cited as the Subversive Organization
Registration Law.
35001. This title is enacted in the exercise of the police power of
this State for the protection of the public peace and safety by requiring
the registration of subversive organizations which are conceived and exist
for the purpose of undermining and eventually destroying the democratic
form of government in this State and in the United States.
35002. As used in this title, "subversive organization" means
every corporation, association, society, camp, group, bund, political
party, assembly, and every body or organization composed of two or
more persons or members, which comes within either or both of the
following descriptions:
(a) Which directly or indirectly advocates, advises, teaches, or
practices, the duty, necessity, or propriety of controlling, conducting,
seizing, or overthrowing the Government of the United States, of this
State, or of any political subdivision thereof by force or violence.
(b) Which is subject to foreign control as defined in Section
35003.
35003. An organization is "subject to foreign control" if
it comes within either of the following descriptions:
(a) It solicits or accepts financial contributions, loans, or support
of any kind directly or indirectly from, or is affiliated directly or
indirectly with, a foreign government or a political subdivision thereof,
an agent, agency, or instrumentality of a foreign government or political
subdivision thereof, a political party in a foreign country, or an
international political organization.
(b) Its policies, or any of them, are determined by or at the
suggestion of, or in collaboration with, a foreign government or political
subdivision thereof, an agent, agency, or instrumentality of a foreign
government or a political subdivision thereof, a political party in a
foreign country, or an international political organization.
35004. "Subversive organization" does not include any labor
union or religious, fraternal, or patriotic organization, society, or
association whose objectives and aims do not contemplate the overthrow
of the Government of the United States, of this State, or of any
political subdivision thereof by force or violence.
35005. This title imposes additional requirements upon corporations,
associations, or organizations which are subversive organizations.
Neither the fact that such a corporation, association, or organization
was organized pursuant to law nor that its affairs and activities are
in any respect regulated by law exempts it from complying with this title.
35006. The Secretary of State may adopt and promulgate such rules and
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this title,
and may alter, amend, or repeal such rules and regulations.
35007. If any provision of this title, or the application thereof to
any person, corporation, association, organization, or circumstances,
is for any reason held invalid, ineffective, or unconstitutional by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this title, or the
application of such provision to other persons, corporations,
associations, organizations, or circumstances, shall not be affected
thereby, and the Legislature hereby declares the severability of the
several sections and provisions of this title, and that it would have
enacted this title without the invalid provisions or the invalid
applications, as the case may be, had such invalidity been apparent.
SECTION 35000-35007
[Note: The
Scientology®
organization has at best estimate approximately
45,000 to 50,000 followers world wide -- contrary to the 8 million figure
that the organization has been claiming for the past few years or so.
While that number continues to drop (thanks in part to the Internet) few
of the remaining followers are even aware of the unending series of police
raids, indictments, and prison terms their leaders and fellow cultists are
subjected to routinely. Few are allowed to know about their organization's
criminal history, or its current racketeering activities. Even fewer of
the cult's remaining followers are privy to their messiah's written
policies which dictates the criminal behavior that keeps getting their
organization raided (see Xenu.NET for
suitable references of Scientology policy) Scientology management
is the problem, not the thousands of honest believers who are good,
honest citizens; themselves victims of Scientology - flr]
The name "Narconon"® is trademarked to the Scientology organization through one of their many front groups. The name "Scientology"® is also trademarked to the "Church" of Scientology. Neither this web page, nor this web site, nor any of the individuals mentioned herein assisting to educate the public about the dangers of the Narconon scam are members of or representitives of the Scientology organization.
