Howard Keith Henson (born 1942) is an American electrical engineer and writer on life extension, cryonics, memetics and evolutionary psychology. In 1975 he and his then-wife Carolyn Meinel founded the L5 Society, which promoted space colonization and which was eventually folded into the National Space Society. More recently, Henson's outspoken criticism of the Church of Scientology and subsequent criminal proceedings have gained him headlines.

Early Influences

Keith Henson was raised as an “army brat” attending seven schools before 7th grade. His father, Lt. Col. Howard W. Henson (1909-2001), was a decorated US Army officer who spent much of his career in Army Intelligence. The science-fiction author Robert A. Heinlein played a major role in influencing his early life. Henson graduated from Prescott High School shortly after his father retired, before attending the University of Arizona and receiving a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Druid Days

Henson was known at the University of Arizona as one of the founders of the Druid Student Center, where a campus humor newspaper, [http://www.bandersnatch.com "The Frumious Bandersnatch"] was published in the late 1960s. (The Druids were also known for making UFOs. [ [http://linuxmafia.com/pub/skeptic/newsletters/basis/basissep.87 Bay Area Skeptics Information Sheet] , Vol. 6, No. 9, Editor: Kent Harker] ) He later cited an incident that occurred in his student days as a good example of memetic replication. When asked to fill in a form that required him to disclose his religious affiliations he wrote "Druid." His prank was soon noticed by other students and before long almost 20% of the student body had registered themselves as Reform Druids, Orthodox Druids, Members of the Church of the "n"th Druid, Zen Druids, Latter-Day Druids and so on. The university was forced to remove the religious affiliation question, breaking the chain of replication and variation. [Nadin, Mihai. "The Civilization of Illiteracy", p. 407. DUP, 1997. ISBN 3931828387]

During much of this period, Henson worked at a geophysics company, mostly running induced polarization surveys in the western US and Peru. Henson also programmed geophysical type cases and wrote data reduction programs for the company.

Analog Engineering

After graduation, Henson went to work for Burr-Brown Research, now merged into Texas Instruments. While there, he worked on extremely low distortion quadrature oscillators and non-linear function modules--multipliers, vector adders and root-mean-square modules. His first patent was a design for a 4-quadrant log-antilog multiplier.

During this time Henson became familiar with the System dynamics work of Jay W. Forrester.

After Burr Brown, Henson worked for a company in Tucson, Arizona, where he was fired for refusing to certify an electronic module for a nuclear power plant that failed to meet a required MTBF specification. [ [http://www.terasemjournals.org/GN0202/henson6.html The JOURNAL of GEOETHICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY] , Terasem Journals Volume 2, Issue 2, 1st Quarter, 2007, Bio of Keith Henson] (Failure of similar modules contributed to the partial meltdown of the Fermi reactor near Detroit.)Henson then set up his own company, Analog Precision Inc., producing specialized computer interface equipment and related industrial control devices.

L5 Society

In 1974 or 1975 Henson's occasional rock climbing partner, physicist Dr. Dan Jones, [ [http://www.nmt.edu/mainpage/giving/danjones.html Giving to New Mexico Tech] , New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, retrieved 10-27-07.] ,introduced him to the space colonization work of Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill of Princeton University. To promote these ideas, Henson and his then-wife, Carolyn Meinel, founded the L5 Society in 1975.Regis, Ed. "The Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition: Science Slightly Over the Edge". Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.ISBN 0201567512] [Mark, Hans. "The Space Station: A Personal Journey", p. 54. Duke University Press, 1987. ISBN 0822307278]

Henson co-wrote papers for three Space Manufacturing conferences at Princeton. The 1977 and 1979 papers were co-authored with Eric Drexler. Patents were issued on both subjects — vapor phase fabrication and space radiators.

In 1980, Henson testified before the United States Congress when the L5 Society successfully opposed the Moon Treaty. The society was represented by Leigh Ratiner (later a figure in the Inslaw proceedings). The experience eventually became an article by the name of "Star Laws," jointly written by Henson and Arel Lucas and published in "Reason Magazine".

Cryonics

In 1985, having been convinced by Eric Drexler that nanotechnology provided a route to make it work, Henson, his wife and their 2-year old daughter signed up with Alcor for cryonic suspension. Following the Dora Kent problems, [ [http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/dorakent.html Dora Kent: Questions and Answers] , Alcor Life Extension Foundation, "Excerpted from Cryonics, March 1988"] Henson became increasingly active with Alcor. After Alcor had to freeze their chief surgeon, he learned enough surgery to put several cryonics patients on cardiac bypass. [ [http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=1621 "Cryonics 'wet work'"] , message posted by Keith Henson on the newsgroup sci.cryonics, 1993-15-Jan.] He also wrote a column for Alcor’s magazine, "Cryonics", for a few years.

]

In that same year, Henson moved to Silicon Valley, consulting for a number of firms, and eventually debugging garbage collection software for the last stage of Project Xanadu. He was still working for the company that bought the Xanadu license when Scientology lawyer Helena Kobrin tried to destroy the news group alt.religion.scientology (see Scientology versus the Internet).

Memetics

Henson's wife, Arel Lucas, was credited by Douglas Hofstadter in "Metamagical Themas" for suggesting the study of memes be called memetics. Henson wrote two articles on memes in 1987, one published in "Analog." The other, "Memes, MetaMemes and Politics," circulated on the internet before being printed.

Eric S. Raymond, a long-time friend of Henson's, saw one of the early drafts of a later paper on [http://human-nature.com/nibbs/02/cults.html cults, memes and religion] and has publicly credited it as an influence on the theory of peer-esteem rewards he developed to explain the open-source movement.Fact|date=June 2007 Richard Dawkins, who originated the concept of memes, approvingly cites in the second edition of his book "The Selfish Gene" Henson's coining of the neologism "memeoids" to refer to "victims who have been taken over by a meme to the extent that their own survival becomes inconsequential." [Dawkins, Richard. "The Selfish Gene," p.330. Oxford University Press, 1989. ISBN 0192860925]

Henson versus Scientology

Henson has become one of the focal points of the ongoing struggle between the Church of Scientology and its critics, often referred to as Scientology versus the Internet.

Henson entered the Scientology battle when it was at its most heated, in the mid-1990s. In 1996, many of Scientology's secret writings (see Scientology beliefs and practices) were released onto the Internet, and Scientology embarked on a massive worldwide campaign to keep them from being spread to the general public. Henson examined these writings, entitled "New Era Dianetics" (known as NOTS in Scientology, and to the organization's critics), and from his examination of these secret documents, he claimed that Scientology was committing medical fraud.

The NOTS documents, he said, contained detailed instructions for the treatment of physical ailments and illnesses through the use of Scientology practices. However, a Supreme Court decision in 1971 had declared that Scientology's writings were meant for "purely spiritual" purposes, and all Scientology books published since then have included disclaimers stating that Scientology's E-meter device "does nothing" and does not cure any physical ailments. [cite court

reporter=District of Columbia 333

pinpoint=
court=US District Court
date=July 30, 1971
url=http://www.lermanet.com/exit/emetercases.htm
]

The NOTS procedures, Henson claimed, were a violation of this decision. To prove his claim, Henson posted two pages from the NOTS documents onto the Usenet newsgroup "alt.religion.scientology."cite web | first = Judy | last = Bryan | title = Scientology Slips Through the Net| url = http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/1998/05/12355 | publisher = Wired | date = 1998-05-18| accessdate = 2007-09-08]

The Church of Scientology immediately initiated legal action, but he did not back down from his claims. Henson was served with a lawsuit by the church's legal arm, the Religious Technology Center, (RTC). Henson defended himself. After a lengthy court battle involving massive amounts of paperwork, Henson was found guilty of copyright infringement. He was ordered to pay $75,000 in fines.cite web | first = Lucy| last = Morgan| title = At home: Critics public and private keep pressure on Scientology| url = http://www.sptimes.com/News/32999/Worldandnation/At_home__Critics_publ.html| publisher = St. Petersburg Times | date = 1999-03-29| accessdate = 2007-09-08]

Henson declared bankruptcy in response to the judgment. Henson began protesting Scientology regularly, standing outside of Scientology's Gold Base, with a picket sign. The organization sought to obtain a restraining order, which failed.cite web | first = Susan| last = Thurston| title = Judge OKs picketing of church| url = http://www.press-enterprise.com/newsarchive/1998/02/21/888047199.html| publisher = The Press-Enterprise| date = 1998-02-21| accessdate = 2007-09-08]

As a result of this conflict, Henson was charged with three misdemeanors under California Law: making criminal threats ( [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cacodes/pen/422.html California Penal Code section 422] ), attempting to make criminal threats ( [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cacodes/pen/654-678.html California Penal Code section 422, charged pursuant to Penal Code 664, the "general attempt" statute] ), and [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cacodes/pen/422.6-422.95.html threatening to interfere with freedom to enjoy a constitutional privilege] .

Sheriff’s Detective Tony Greer, Riverside County lead investigator, said: "In reviewing all of the Internet postings I did not see any direct threat of violence towards the church or any personnel of the church."

The jury verdict of the trial resulted in Henson being convicted of one of the three charges: "interfering with a religion." This misdemeanor charge carried a prison term of six months. On the other two charges, the jury did not agree. [ [http://75.28.114.12/OpenAccess/CRIMINAL/criminalcasereport.asp?defendantcount=1&courtcode=C&casenumber=HEM014371&defnbr=547981&defseq=1&otnmseq=0&defendantcount=1&dsn=&casedefendants=ON&statussummary=ON&charges=ON&probation=ON&relatedcases=ON&alldisposedcases=ON&actions=ON&fineinfo=ON&Submit=Format+the+Report Riverside County Superior Court Case Report] ]

Ken Hoden, the general manager of Golden Era Productions (the Church of Scientology's film production facility), claimed that Scientology's allegations against Henson had nothing to do with Scientology's Fair Game policy, claiming that no such policy existed.cite news | author = Gale Holland | title = Unfair Game: Scientologists Get Their Man | url = http://www.laweekly.com/news/news/unfair-game/4713/ | publisher = LA Weekly | date = 2001-06-20 | accessdate = 2007-02-09]

Henson stated his belief that if he went to prison, his life would be placed in jeopardy. [ [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/msg/6618b1c3c0cce8c0?dmode=source&hl=en Google Groups Archive] of posting of Henson's fax where he stated "I am all too aware that going back to the US puts my life in danger."] Rather than serve his sentence, Henson chose to enter Canada and apply for political asylum. Henson lived quietly in Brantford for three years while he awaited the decision. His request was ultimately denied and, in 2005, he was ordered to present himself for deportation and transfer to US authorities. Instead, Henson fled to the United States and later presented himself to the Canadian consulate in Detroit. He then settled in Prescott, Arizona where he remained for two years until his arrest in 2007 by Arizona authorities. [cite news | first = Susan | last = Gamble | title = Man critical of Scientology, who fled Brantford in 2005, is arrested in United States | url = http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/webapp/sitepages/content.asp?contentid=393597&catname=Local%20News&classif=News%20-%20Local | publisher = Brantford Expositor | date = 2007-02-07 | accessdate = 2007-02-10]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, as well as Henson's supporters on the USENET newsgroup "alt.religion.scientology", say that his trial was biased, unfair and a mockery of justice. Henson was prohibited by the trial judge, for example, from arguing that copying documents for the purpose of criticism is fair use. [ [http://www.eff.org/effector/HTML/effect14.13.html#II http://www.eff.org/effector/HTML/effect14.13.html#II] ]

Ontario, Canada (2001-2005)

Henson lived in Brantford, Ontario from 2001 to 2005 and worked as an electronics engineer. After spending three years there, Henson was finally notified that a decision had been reached on his application. He was instructed to appear in person at a meeting on September 14, 2005, to learn what the decision was. The implication was that a negative decision would result in his being deported back to the US by Canadian law enforcement.

"I'm not going to be shoved across the border into the hands of Scientologists," Henson said last week as he began packing. "I'll go to the border somewhere else, hand in my papers and disappear, preferably to a state where you can legitimately shoot bounty hunters." Fact|date=August 2007

Citing concern over his personal safety in such an event (since Scientology might find out the handover time and place), Henson chose to instead quietly leave Brantford the previous night. He notified the Canadian government by fax that he had left Canada of his own accord.

Arizona (2007)

Henson's location as of February 3, 2007 was the [http://www.co.yavapai.az.us/SOContent.aspx?id=19280 Yavapai Detention Center] in Prescott, Arizona, awaiting possible extradition to Riverside County, California. At the "initial appearance" hearing on February 5, 2007, Henson stated through counsel [http://kielsky.com] [ [http://attorney.kielsky.com/Henson/HensonNotice.pdf westfall cert of arb ] ] that he was fighting extradition and requested release.

In spite of these distractions, Henson finished a space elevator presentation for a European Space Agency conference. The paper was presented by proxy on February 28, 2007. [http://www.congrex.nl/06a12/]

The extradition hearing for Henson was postponed to May 8, 2007, at the request of Henson's attorney and the County attorney.
