Paulette Cooper is a journalist who became the object of the single largest campaign of personal destruction in Scientology history. She was framed, sued, smeared, spied on and harassed. Paulette was investigating abuses in Scientology and published a book called “The Scandal of Scientology.” She quickly become an obsession of Scientology’s founder L. Ron Hubbard. Over the next decade, Scientology tried to destroy her personally and professionally. She became “Fair Game.” Scientologists would paper her neighborhood with flyers claiming she was a pedophile (she wasn’t.) Paulette was the target of an operation called “Operation Freakout” which was an attempt by L. Ron Hubbard to completely destabilize her and get her "incarcerated in a mental institution or jail or at least to hit her so hard that she drops her attacks."

But the most nefarious thing Scientology did was frame Paulette with bomb threats (by obtaining her fingerprints). Their attempts worked and the only thing that vindicated Paulette was when the FBI raided Scientology and found details of the operation against her.
