Operation Freakout

Operation Freakout, also known as Operation PC Freakout, was a Church of Scientology covert plan intended to have the U.S. author and journalist Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a psychiatric hospital. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, ''The Scandal of Scientology''. The Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered documentary evidence of the plot and the preceding campaign of harassment during an investigation into the Church of Scientology in 1977, eventually leading to the church compensating Cooper in an out-of-court settlement.
==Background==
Cooper, a freelance journalist and author, had begun researching Scientology in 1968 and wrote a critical article on the church for the British magazine ''Queen'' (now ''Harpers Bazaar'') in 1969. The church promptly sued for libel, adding ''Queen'' to the dozens of British publications that it had already sued.〔Church of Scientology of California v. Queen Magazine Ltd., High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, 1970-C-No. 5751.〕
Undeterred, Cooper expanded her article into a full-length book, ''The Scandal of Scientology'' (subtitled "A chilling examination of the nature, beliefs and practices of the "now religion.'"). It was published by Tower Publications, Inc. of New York in the summer of 1971. The church responded by suing her in December 1971, demanding $300,000 for "untrue, libelous and defamatory statements about the Church."〔Church of Scientology of California vs. Paulette Cooper, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court, Docket No. C18558〕
