Vicki Aznaran sees David Miscavige hit another Sea Org
member, John Axel, in the mouth. She says he also uses photographs of
staff members who have fallen into disregard for targets for pistol shooting. (Criminal Time Track:

Jesse Prince sees DM hitting Marty Rathbun in the face and body as
hard as he could. He saw Miscavige throw two women into the wall, making them
cry. These were Terry Gamboa and Marion Bender. He also saw
times of guards holding someone by the arms while Miscavige spit in the
persons face and punched them in the body. John Ward was one of these.
Miscavige did a lot of spitting in people’s face. (Criminal Time Track:

The six-month check line for people on OT 7 is started.
A BFO written by RTRC I/C Int in 1996, says: “….in 1982 LRH was consulted regarding a situation with SOLO NOTS
auditors at the time, to which LRH responded “ get them in, get them cleaned up, and keep them cleaned up”. Thus, the six
month check line was born……..”.
A BFO is a Base Flag Order. LRH's ADVICE, was for THOSE SOLO NOTS AUDITORS AT THAT TIME "Get them in, get them cleaned up, and keep them cleaned up"
(Virginia McClaughry:
"My Story")
Mike Rinder’s newborn baby dies and he asks for time off. David Miscavige
responded that time off was “bullshit” and Rinder needed to work as his
statistics were down. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (22))
David Mayo: In January '82, some very heavy despatches
came down from LRH regarding these Msn Hldr meetings, about
"mutiny", "attempted takeovers",
"infiltration by enemy agents" and references to
Purcell and attempted mutinies in the early '50s. Thus, although
I never saw what reports went to LRH regarding the Dec '81 Msn
Hldr meetings, I did ascertain that the reports came from ''Special Unit" (which contained
David Miscavige, Steve
Marlowe, Norman Starkey, etc., and which later became
"ASI" - Author Services Incorporated, and
"RTC" - Religious Technology Center). From the LRH
despatches, it was obvious that someone had briefed LRH with some
very alarming and false data concerning the Msn Hldr meetings at
Flag. Yet, what was somewhat deceptive about this was that in
conversation with me, David Miscavige appeared to regard the Msn
Hldr meetings as having some basis in fact, in actual injustices
and in a breakdown or failure in communication between Top
Management (meaning CMO INT) and the execs on staff and the
field. All of which seemed valid to me. Again, some months later,
I learned that wasn't Miscavige's attitude at all - he apparently
was humouring me! (David
Mayo, 8.12.83)
Peter Green: Whilst I was at Flag in January, Bill Franks was removed
covertly and secretly and the shore-story was put out that he was
on a dental cycle and was on an R and R because of a medical
cycle he needed. And the word came out at the second meeting at
Westwood at Peter Crundall's mission that Bill Franks had been
removed. So had Jan Logan and several others. A BPL came out,
written by the WDC published for the Board of Directors, stating
that, in fact, the CMO and WDC were Bill Franks seniors and that
they had had the right to remove him.
Bill Franks' removal was causing considerable upset in the
field because he was a stable datum. He was the ED Int and his
removal, which had been covered up by a shore-story resulting in
rumours that he was on post, off post, just on a leave, caused a
lot of confusion. So there was an Urgent Directive issued by the
Watch Dog Committee which suspended Bill Franks from post.
Now, an Urgent Directive denies the person the right of Comm
Ev first and removes them without Comm Ev. Policy is you can't
remove them without a Comm Ev, except with this Urgent Directive
policy that states where the stats are crashing and there's a
crisis and a situation. You can remove the person and suspend
them temporarily with pay, and then you can have an investigation
and if they're found innocent, restore them with full pay.
Dean Stokes at that time started to get very vociferous and
started to put out communications and maybe went a little
overboard. Brown McKee quit and went to the press. Jane Kember
wrote up a report on the Westwood meeting about Jack Horner being
there. The reform movement was smashed. (Peter
Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
Peter Green: And now we come to Dick Storey. Between the time that I was
declared suppressive on the 20th of January and the time that I
got expelled, there was a special briefing for West Coast Mission
Holders attended by Martin Samuels, Mark Silver, Kingsley
Wimbush, John Woodruff, Peter Crundall, Bent Corydon, Jerry
Simmonds etc. etc. They were taken in, some of them separately in
different groups, dependent upon their degree of antagonism and
were given a special inside briefing by Dick Storey who was Mo
Budlong's deputy. He was head of B1 Europe, 11 years in the G.O.
at Worldwide, and from New Zealand.
His explanation for this sudden spate of declares was
something as follows: You see, there was the enemy getting upset
because we handled some of the court cases. He omitted the fact
that we handled some of the court cases because of the first
Mission Holders meeting and the Board of Review on the Kemps
which started getting people into comm and seeing that there
could be justice.
So we started to handle the court cases and the enemy got
upset. They set up a conspiracy and sent in some FBI agents and
had plants within the Church and some of these plants are - we've
really got a cancer. Storey was saying that there was a cancer
within the body of the Church and that some of it was malignant
and some of it was benign, the malignant cancers were the enemy,
the actual enemy, and benign cancers were unwitting pawns such as
Dean Stokes. He was an upstat Scientologist and he certainly
wasn't malignant, but he was doing the enemy's work unknowingly.
The story that he told was that Bill Franks' telephone had
been tapped and they knew that he was having an out-2D with Cathy
Wasserman who was giving him blow-jobs under the table because
they had recordings and that she was an F.B.I. plant who had been
sent in to subvert loyal officer Bill Franks through 2D and to
P.D.H. him. And because of his dental work, he was PDH'd under
the guise of dentistry and that had turned Bill Franks into a
real weirdo and he had fomented and led this revolution using
real enemies such as Alan Walter who had been working for the IRS
for years.
I should say here that Alan Walter has a judgement against him
of $100,000 by the I.R.S. and has been the victim of attacks for
a long time, so this is a chronic 180 degree vector.
That Cathy Wasserman and Alan Walter had worked Bill Franks
over and created this schism between management and the body of
the Church, in order to allow the enemy to take advantage, is a
precedent used in the Worldwide Church of God a couple of years
ago when the membership of the Worldwide Church of God asked the
Attorney General to put their Church into receivership because
they didn't trust the Board of Directors anymore. This was done.
And so, Storey's briefing was that this was the real reason
for the reform movement, was to create dissatisfaction with our
management so that the Attorney General or the powers that be,
Federal or other agencies, could step in and take over the
Church. And he more or less boasted that he, Storey, was the one
that had shown the CMO the truth on the matter, because they had
no intelligence-gathering capability and he had shown them that
the G.O. knew things they didn't know. And that they were very
foolish to ignore the expertise of the Bureau One people because
he had undertaken to handle this whole rebellion and stamp it
out.
And the policy that he was using was the 1 March '66 that
established the Guardian, in which Ron talks about wearing his
heavy Hussar Hat, and was stamping out the rebellion. Doran wants
to say that that policy, if you follow it, says that the guardian
may not delegate her powers whatsoever. Dick Storey was not the
guardian, so he was off-policy in quoting that policy.
Then Storey gave a briefing to the Sea Org crew, a mandatory
briefing, which was secret and told them the policy he was
operating off of was THE INDICATORS OF ORGS. This is where, for
the good of the Org and to protect the group, you put heads on
pikes regardless of whether these people are necessarily good or
bad. You put a few prominent heads on pikes to calm the whole
scene down.
And he said there probably have been some mistakes and
injustices and these people have recourse and we can clear them
up in due course. Dick Storey, although the orders were issued
under the signature of the International Justice Chief, did tell
some of these Mission Holders that the expulsion orders were
already written and that if we did not hastily ask for a Comm Ev
or do A to E these expulsions would be issued. And he implied
that he had written them.
The fact is that Alan Walter asked for a Comm Ev at Flag, his
terminal being the Flag MAA. The response he received was an
expulsion. I asked my alleged terminal, the Continental Justice
Chief, one Melanie Herrick to gather all the reports so that I
could confront them, per the policy 16 May 1980 Issue II and so
they could be used for a Comm Ev here on the West Coast and the
only response I received was an expulsion order.
Apparently, the only acceptable thing was to do A to E. Bob
Flat told me that he requested a Comm Ev and asked for the
reports so that he could confront the reports that were put in on
him and he was told that there were no reports. However, he had
been declared on the basis of these reports.
I would at this point say that one of the reasons for the
concern on the part of old-time Scientologists, on the part of
the Mission Holders at the meeting was because of some statistics
given to us by Gordon Cook, by the people in SMI, and by Bill Franks. The statistics that were stated and confirmed by
Alan
Starkey and the CMO when they came to the meeting was that the
Church was spending $750 - $800,000 a month in lawyer's fees.
This is money that- if we had not created the enemies and created
the lawsuits - could be used for the expansion of Scientology and
to pay S.O. staff and to be used for theta purposes.
We were told that there were 180 lawsuits against the Church
and $800,000 a month being spent on defending them or prosecuting
them. We were given a list of some of the Scientologists who were
engaged in actions and lawsuits and asked to get in touch with
them and let them know about the Board of Appeals or the Board of
Review and there was, at that time, a limited amnesty for
litigants against the Church, inviting them to come in and take
advantage of the reform, the renaissance and the new mood of
justice.
Effectively, by wiping out Franks, by declaring the people who
were somewhat active in this movement, the reform was stopped and
the B1 files were reinstated - were no longer available. And our
investigations have led us to believe that much of the false
reports came from the U.S. G.O.
Vicki Aznaran, who started the attack on the first Mission
Holders meeting and who was very antagonistic to the Westwood
meetings, for your information, is Dean Stokes ex-wife, who left
him in Treason some years ago and joined the Sea Org. And she was
in close comm with Jane Kember and other people who were loyal
Kemberites in the G.O.
The apparency is that the war between the G.O. and the S.O.
has swayed back and forth. The S.O. won when they busted Jane,
Mo, Herbie, David etc., and then through the G.O. U.S., the G.O.
has reasserted its power. Dick Storey, who is from W.W., has
effectively persuaded the CMO and the W.D.C. that they still need
the old G.O. personnel and this is behind the stamping-out of the
Franks' led reform.
Currently, Dick Storey is the AG Flag working hand-in-glove
with Kerry Gleason, who was Bill Franks' lieutenant and who took
over Franks' post and whose testimony was used in the SP declare
on Lieutenant Commander Bill Franks. (Peter
Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Religious Technology Center
(RTC).
Miscavige is a Trustee of RTC, giving him the power to appoint and remove
Directors.
Later, Miscavige replaces Marlow with Vicki Aznaran and then
replaces Vicki with Greg Wilhere. Miscavige maintains absolute control
over all officers and board members of RTC by possessing undated, signed
resignations of each member. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (28, 39))
RTC licenses all other Scientology organizations to sell Dianetics and
Scientology.
This gives it command control over every Scientology corporation and
Scientologist, (except the later formed Church of Spiritual Technology).
RTC’s Articles of Incorporation state:
It is formed by
- Terri Gamboa,
- David Mayo,
- Norman Starkey,
- Phoebe Maurer,
- Lyman Spurlock,
- Julia Watson, and
- David Miscavige.
The corporate affairs shall be regulated by a Board of 7 persons who shall
be designated Trustees, which Board shall have and exercise all powers given
to “Directors” by California nonprofit corporate law.
This corporation is organized and shall be operated for the primary purpose
of ensuring and maintaining the purity and integrity of the religion of
Scientology by acting as a vehicle for guaranteeing the ethical propagation,
worship, and administration of the religious faith, doctrines and practice of
Scientology, to regulate and conduct religious services for its congregation,
to foster and enhance the spiritual welfare of the followers of Scientology,
to espouse such evidence of the Supreme Being and human spirit as may be
knowable to man and by their use to bring greater tranquility, order and
survival to man in the external world, and to propagate and disseminate the
Church Creed in accordance with the religious faith of Scientology as laid
down by the Founder, LRH and as set forth in the by-laws.
Article VII:
- To act as Trustee under any trust incidental to the principle objects of
this corporation, to receive and expend funds and property subject to such
trust, subject always to the terms and provisions of the instrument by
which such trust is created.
- The corporation is to have power and authority of a head organization,
to create subordinate corporations, to issue charters to such subordinate
corporations and have the articles of subordinate corporations require the
dissolution of such subordinate corporations whenever the charter issued
by this corporation is taken away from it. Also, the assets of the
subordinate corporation go to RTC upon dissolution of the subordinate
corporation.
The corporation has no members.
No part of its assets shall ever inure to the benefit of any private party
or individual.
If the corporation is dissolved, its assets shall be distributed to one or
more nonprofit funds, foundations, trusts or corporations which are organized
and operated exclusively for religious purposes and which are entitled to tax
exempt status. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (51))
Note: In an affidavit later David Miscavige says the following about
RTC:
RTC is not part of Church management, nor is it involved in the daily
affairs of various Church of Scientology organizations. RTC exists to see
that Dianetics and Scientology technology is safeguarded, is in good hands,
and is properly used. RTC was formed with the specific purpose of seeing
that the religion of Scientology was kept pure and true to the source
materials of the religion.
The authority of RTC stems from the ownership of the trademarks of
Dianetics and Scientology. In brief, RTC’s maintenance of these trademarks
is threefold:
- ensuring that when something is represented as Dianetics or
Scientology, that it actually is.
- Seeing that any organization representing itself as Dianetics or
Scientology, while actually being something different, is prevented from
doing so.
- Seeing that anyone offering Scientology, but calling it something
else, is prevented from doing so.
As Chairman of the Board he is interested in the standard application of
the Scripture of Scientology as detailed in HCOP/Ls and HCOBs and the spoken
words of LRH in tapes and films. He inspects and corrects departures from
the standard application of the Scripture of the religion. I also ensure
that any attempted perversion of the technology of Dianetics and Scientology
is rapidly dealt with, to keep the religion pure so that all people may
benefit from the application of Mr. Hubbard’s breakthroughs in the fields
of the mind, spirit and life.
He also oversees the affairs of RTC in its function of verifying that the
source writings of the religion are kept pure. This specifically includes
the verification that the materials representing themselves as being
Dianetics and Scientology are in fact that, and that they honestly reflect
the source writings of the religion by L. Ron Hubbard. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (33, 37))
Church of Scientology, Celebrity Centre Paris founded. (CofS)
Peter Green: Shortly after I got back from Flag I was declared a
suppressive person. So was Brown McKee so was Alan Walter. So was
Dean Stokes who had been the Chairman of the second Mission
Holders meeting, and Ray and Pam Kemp were re-declared
suppressive. Most of these SP declares contained false reports
such as that Kemp was setting up the Reform Church of
Scientology. He'd never even heard of it.
The Mission Holders meeting which had led to field meetings
had led to another meeting in Westwood which I'd helped Peter
Crundall conduct and false reports were put in about that and
were used in my declare.
I have a document which is a report I wrote to the C.M.O.
before I had any idea I was to be declared or was in any kind of
trouble and it is to Ron Pook of CMO Int 12 Jan 1982. It's a
seven page report which I won't read but which is available.
The spate of declares that came down were on all the people
who were very active in this reform movement. Franks was declared
and anyone who had been associated with him in trying to get this
thing going was also declared. The B1 files were closed and
here's additional data.
Between the Mission Holders meeting and my return to Flag Dec
24th, Jane Kember was at a cocktail party in L.A. before Xmas
where she was publicly attacking the Westwood Mission meetings
and stated that Peter Green and Peter Crundall were running
Squirrel-group engrams meetings. And that phrase has occurred
ever since in the declares. Stacey Young, who is married to
Vaughan Young, told a staff member of mine that Jane Kember was
not, in fact, in disgrace but that it was simply a ploy to handle
the press and the public. In fact, she was still in good
standing. It was just a PR move to publicly disgrace her.
When we phoned trying to get our B1 files, guess who answered
the telephone in B1? Jane Kember, exactly. I raised a fuss about
this with Gordon Cook, David Miscavige got upset about it and
there was an order from the WDC on Kember and Co. saying that she
had no status in Scientology and that she was not allowed into B1
except with an escort. (Peter
Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
David Mayo: During early 1982, David Miscavige and Shelley Miscavige ran
an "Offload Project" during which a large number of SO
members, including several members of the CMO were "found
unfit" and thrown out of the SO. This project was directly
under Pat Broeker. The majority of those persons that Pat Broeker
and David Miscavige didn't like were gotten rid of, including
Anne Taskett, Donna Robinson, Melanie Murray, Dede Voegeding,
Gale Irwin, Lois Reisdorf (all CMO), plus other crew.
Also during this time period of early to mid 1982, I became
more and more outspoken on other than purely technical matters -
I made my objections to high and rising prices of Scn services,
to the rashes of incorrect and unjust ethics and justice actions
and numerous other matters very well kown to WDC and other senior
execs in an effort to get these points corrected.
I also started to become progressively more and more outspoken
on the subject of what I considered to be enormous financial
waste. (For example, at Gilman Hot Springs some locals were hired
to weed the gardens and as I saw these mainly sitting around in
the gardens doing very little, I inquired and was told that this
was not to be questioned as they had heen hired by Shelly
(Michelle) Miscavige, but I was also told that they were paid
$38,000. Another example is the monstrosity that was built around
the swimming pool at Gilman Hot Springs - a ship mock-up complete
with masts and rigging at a cost of approx. half a million
dollars.) While these extravagances were occurring, the crew were
being told that finances were tight and that everybody needed to
tighten their belts to keep expenses down, crew pay was cut and
food and medical allocations were cut!
I was not the only person raising a voice on these and other
matters of mismanagement; John Nelson (then CO CMO), Kerry
Gleeson (then ED INT), Alan Buchanan (then Deputy ED INT) and
various other staff at CMO INT, at Flag and in the FOLOs and orgs
were also stating the same or similar during this period (end '81
thru mid-'82). (David Mayo,
8.12.83)
Vaughn Young is invited by Miscavige to join “Special Project”
to head up the PR section.
The idea was forwarded to LRH who approved Vaughn’s appointment in
mid-February. Vaughn was then informed that “Special Project” (and
Miscavige was Special Project i/c) was in reality ASI but they could not admit
it yet.
ASI was formed as a for-profit corporation on the guise that it was Hubbard’
s literary agency. While it had that function, its actual function was to be
LRH’s contact point back into the Scientology organization. (He was gone
from the ship and had no viable command channels because he was in hiding.)
The staff of ASI reported to LRH and LRH issued orders to the staff, which
they then issued down into the organization, thus making ASI the senior
entitity in the Scientology hierarchy. This did not come easy because LRH was
prevented from saying that ASI was his replacement for Flag because that would
have defeated the entire purpose and linked him back to the non-profit
churches. So, there was considerable arm-twisting and threats and demotions as
Miscavige and ASI consolidated its power over the very Sea Org units that had
been in control. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (26))
All ASI staff had to write a weekly report to LRH. Miscavige repeatedly
rejected their reports, until they were perfectly worded to appear that
Miscavige had everything fully under control. No one could send anything to
LRH without being edited by Miscavige. This meant that LRH effectively did not
know what was really going on from 1981 until his death.
It was during this time until Ron’s death, that Miscavige began
systematically replacing LRH as the head of Scientology. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (29))
Because ASI was at the top of the Scientology empire, it was often the site
of meetings with various officers from different Scientology organizations.
They had come to learn that ASI staff were now Hubbard’s personal
representatives and spoke for him so the ASI boardroom became the site of
clandestine meetings of various corporations so LRH’s orders could be
issued. Of course, this was all quite illegal since ASI was a for-profit
corporation and we were issuing orders to non-profit entities. They had simply
replaced the earlier structure and disregarded corporate lines as they had
always disregarded corporate lines. The difference was that the power was no
longer distributed between the GO and the SO but held in one place: Miscavige
and the ASI he controlled.
ASI was the site of meetings (often chaired by Miscavige) that directed
legal strategies, telling different corporations and their attorneys what to
do, what to sell and how much money should come to ASI, which was then
funneled into Hubbard’s personal accounts. If anyone disagreed they were
removed and replaced with someone who complied.
Throughout this period LRH issued his orders as “advices”, rather than
“orders”, and attempts were made to make him a “consultant”. In truth,
LRH was fully in command as much as he had been when he was on the ship
Apollo.
Miscavige was in charge of ASI and he had assumed the title of Chairman of
the Board of ASI so he could claim that he was not the Executive Director or
an officer of ASI. This was done to give him an “arm’s length”
protection, just like LRH, to avoid any litigation. But, titles aside, there
was never any question in the minds of the Scientology hierarchy who was in
charge, Miscavige. (Criminal Time Track:

Church of Scientology of Torino, Italy founded. (CofS)
Church of Scientology of Verona, Italy founded. (CofS)
FACT: Up to this time there was only one major splinter group
delivering the bridge -- including the OT levels -- to
the public. That group is small and has always been small
and has operated for 7-8 years. That group is run by
Larry West, a Class 8. It is located in San Diego.
FACT: In March 1982 a series of Declares started.
- First, each of the leaders running the
rehabilitation meetings was declared -- unless
they stopped.
- Second, those people in management, including the
ED Int., who were in comm with the field were
declared.
- Third, the GO was declared almost totally as a
whole group.
FACT: After this date and consistently over this past year,
splinter groups have been forming practically by the
week. They are delivering the OT levels and NOTs.
In short, the top management, the top field auditors, the top
tech persons and the GO were all declared with one fall swoop.
And for the first time ever, many were illegally declared, i.e.
no Comm Ev, no proof, no verification and often completely
surprising those declared because there was no prior notice or
discussion. Others had Comm Evs AFTER being declared. When
something was printed up about these declared persons, it was
done in such generalities that it wasn't possible to tell what
these persons were supposed to have done -- no time, place, form,
or event -- no specifics. All the hundreds of people in the
process of coming back on lines, went back off lines. All the
recently rehabbed Class 8s and lower-level auditors went back off
lines. Generally, the attitude in this group was "I told
you so...." . They had been convinced it was going to
work, just started to believe it, and then the people helping
them were DECLARED. Not only did this affect those recently
rehabbed persons, but it affected everyone because the declared
people were the leaders of the orgs, the leaders of the tech, and
the leaders of the field. Therefore, other splinter groups
formed; formed by persons who had not previously even considered
such an action. They decided to get away from the confusion so
they could "audit and train in peace".
... There are now over 20 major splinter groups in the US and
several dozen more forming. I do not have the stats outside this
country. At least seven of these groups offer the full bridge and
are run by highly trained Class 8s through 12s. The prices for OT
levels range from 1000 to 5000 dollars and NOTs prices vary.
Also, some accept barter and some accept payments while you are
there doing the service. No one is making a lot of profit but the
production is high. This progression of splinter groups started
right after the first sweep of declares.
For awhile, in 1982, there was no apparent management in Scn
because the past LEADERS were wiped out. There was a lot of
confusion. However, -- AND THIS IS ONE BIG POINT OF THIS
DISSERTATION -- the TRUTH is:
"There was a management the whole time before,
during, and after these events, and it was and still is
ENTIRELY HIDDEN FROM US ALL." (Dave Tops Debrief)
Between March and November 1982, LRH, Pat Broeker, David Miscavige,
Lyman Spurlock and others illegally transfer over 30 million dollars of
Church of Scientology funds to the bank accounts of ASI and LRH in
Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. These transfers are based on exaggerated
billings by ASI to the Churches of Scientology.
Attorney Sherman Lenske represents ASI, RTC, CST, and LRH in the
fraudulent transfer of money, property and assets from various Scientology
corporations to LRH personally. Lenske also acted as the probate attorney who
prepared wills and trusts on behalf of LRH.
In violation of their charters, the Board of Directors of each Scientology
corporation were illegally controlled by LRH, Broeker, David Miscavige and
ASI. The goal of this management technique, was to optimize LRH’s personal
income in violation of prohibition against personal inurement imposed on
institutions seeking tax exempt status under IRC Section 501(c)(3). This
management maze permits money to be shifted among entities to hide their
profit-making reality and to avoid taxes and judgements.
These funds were then within the estate of LRH so they came to be in the
possession, custody and control of Norman Starkey, executor of LRH’s estate.
It is alleged these funds were then illegally seized and stolen by David
Miscavige in a fraud perpetrated on LRH’s heirs. (Criminal Time Track:

LRH becomes concerned about his own passing away and writes a letter to David
Mayo.
The truth of this letter was confirmed by two RTC
missionaires:
LRH did some reminiscing concerning his long term association with Mayo and
Mayo’s extensive experience with the tech. LRH said he expected to live for
2 years longer at the most and he wanted Mayo to take over all of his
technical hats, including research.
LRH gave Mayo responsibility for the tech for the next 20-25 years, at
which time LRH would return and reassume his tech hats. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (34))
LRH said that Mayo should have a separate corporation to do this work, apart
from Scientology management. LRH also wrote to Lyman Spurlock concerning
setting up this separate corporation for Mayo and his technical research.
LRH was sending almost daily comm to the SNR C/S INT office, praising their
work and assigning them new projects to do.
Note: David Miscavige has always maintained a “holier than thou”
attitude towards the criminal acts of the Guardian’s Office. In his 15
October 1999 affidavit he says this about the GO:
“What the GO did was illegal. No real Scientologist would ever condone
or even consider such conduct. When we became aware of the GO’s activities
we were even more outraged than law enforcement officials and others outside
the Church.”
Merill Mayo: "In April 82, there was a letter to David from LRH which I read, in which LRH talked about his expectancy of leaving his body in the not-too-distant future. He said that the responsibility for the tech and for his technical hats for the next 20 to 25 years would be David's."
(Merill Mayo's open
letter)
David Mayo: I received the despatch from LRH asigning to me
the hat of technical responsibility for the next 20-25 years and
in which LRH stated that he didn't expect to live long - he said
a few month at least, a couple of years at the most. This
despatch was quite long (some 20 pages typed) and included in it
as one of the points that I should re-organize my unit, possibly
even becoming corporately separate, so that I could fulfill the
duties, functions and responsibilities regarding these technical
hats. (I mention the separate corporation possibility here
because that is, in fact, what I later suggested/proposed after
consultation with others such as Lyman Spurlock, David Miscavige,
and Pat Broeker and others, and as this separate corporation
suggestion was part of the reason for my removal.)
One of the main difficulties that I had encountered on the
post of Senior C/S International was when technical purity or
technical integrity encountered disagreement from certain
management execs whose main interest and concern was statistics -
not that such disagreements were continuous but when there was
trouble, one of the fundamental points was the question of
technical integrity versus immediate stats. Although hard to
believe, an example of this is that Pat Broeker came to me with a
suggestion that I should put out a false "OT VIII". It
was to consist of simply having the solo auditor fly his own ruds
once a week! I refused to have anything to do with it. Pat had
lots of well-sounding reasons as to why he had suggested it, but
at the bottom of all these was that his idea was to solve a
financial problem. This, in part, led to my conclusion that in
order to carry out the technical responsibilities in full during
the next 20 - 25, years that my office would need to be separate
and independent corporately and financially from current
management.
Another difficulty that I had encountered on the post of
Senior C/S International was that of financing to cover the
expences of running my office and of financing the piloting and
export of various new technical developments. I would receive
orders from LRH regarding piloting of new rundowns and their
release (such as Solo NOTs, Happiness Rundown, etc). Depending on
current FP (Financial Planning), the expenses would either be
approved or cut. From my point of view, I couldn't allow this to
interfere with matters of the importance of the release of Solo
NOTS, etc. So, on many occasions during the period from 1980 -
1981, I had paid these expenses out of my own pocket, a total of
approximately $5,000 during that 2 year period. My solution to
this for the future was to set up my office independent of the
changing circumstances of FP; the idea was that my office and the
piloting and export of new tech would be supported by income
generated by my office. This financing was discussed with various
executives at CMO INT and in the "special Unit"
(including people like Marc Yager, Mark Ingber, Wendell Reynolds,
Lyman Spurlock, Vicki Aznaran, David Miscavige, Pat Broeker and
others) . The solution suggested to me and which I agreed to was
that my office should charge for services such as handling pc
folders for other orgs, doing events for other orgs, and courses
sold that I was directly overseeing (such as the pilot of the new
dissemination course at that time). And again, the idea was put
forward that my office belonged, not under CSI (Church of
Scientology International) but, under a separate corporation. In
the interim, I was to start collecting money per above, and a
bank account was to be set up (the account was to be called
Church of Scientology International Snr C/S Int account).
The above and other matters necessary to the re-organization
of the Senior C/S Int office were put into a proposal and sent to
LRH. (David Mayo, 8.12.83)
David Mayo: In April of 1982, I received a long and detailed letter from
LRH. It assigned me the full responsibility for the tech and for
his technical hats for the next 20 to 25 years. (After the
passage of this 20-25 years, he stated that he would return in
his next lifetime to reassume his tech hats). As I sought to
carry out this assigned responsibility for the tech, it became
increasingly obvious that there were points that must be
corrected in the area of International Management of the Church
of Scientology so that the purity of the tech could be
safeguarded. Indeed, correction was mandatory to even keep the
tech in existence at all! My efforts to bring about these
corrections of Management resulted in hostilities and the cutting
of my communication line to LRH. This severance of my line to LRH
was done covertly by others. This was in August of 1982.
Ultimately, these hostilities culminated in my removal from post
by others who had established themselves in a position of control
over LRH's comm lines. This was a period of shock, horror and
very real atrocity not only for me, but for many, many high
calibre, long-standing Scientology executives of proven ability.
There were literally hundreds removed during this lengthy
political purge. (David
Mayo, Open Letter)
David Miscavige orders payment of $250,000.00 to set up US District
Judge Ben Krentzman in a black operation to frame him with drugs and
prostitutes.
A private investigator, Dick Bast, secured a yacht and attempted to
lure the judge on board in order to film him under compromising circumstances.
The judge declined the invitation.
At the same time David Miscavige orders thousands of dollars be given to
attorney Dan Warren in Daytona, Florida to pay off State Circuit Judge James
Durden who was sitting as Justice on a Scientology case. (Criminal Time Track:

Capt. Bill Robertson issues the Sector
Operations Bulletins.
LRH executes a new will, a mere few days after the corporate restructuring
had taken place. He names Pat Broeker as Executor. (However, in the
1986 last minute will, the day before his death, Norman Starkey is
named as Executor).
According to a 29 June 1992 United States Claims Court document (CST vs.
United States), as part of LRH’s estate planning, LRH made 3 gifts to
Scientology. The first two were inter vivos, and a third was testamentary.
All three transfers were made, or in the case of the will, designated, in
May 1982.
First, LRH gave use of the Advanced Technology and religious marks to
RTC.
These Scientology religious marks include the terms Dianetics and
Scientology and Mr. Hubbard’s name, initials and signature. RTC is charged
with the duty to oversee lower-ranking churches to ensure they practice
Scientology in an orthodox manner. RTC gave CSI a license to use the marks
with any Scientology services sold by CSI on condition that CSI recognize RTC
as the final word on matters of theological orthodoxy. As required by Mr
Hubbard’s gifts, RTC delegates rights to use the Advanced Technology and
religious marks to qualified churches in the ecclesiastical hierarchy and then
supervises their activities to ensure compliance with Scriptural requirements.
In exchange for use of the marks, churches that minister the Advanced
Technology pay RTC six percent of the contributions they receive.
Although orthodoxy is not clearly defined in the records, the court notes
it has at least the result of requiring all churches to buy materials licensed
through CSI, the current mother church. All of LRH’s works are copyrighted
with formal licensing arrangements made between LRH and the distributing
churches.
LRH’s gift to RTC was conditioned on RTC obtaining exemption under I.R.C.
@ 501 (c)(3).
Thus far, RTC has been found non-exempt by the Commissioner.
CST was created in 1982 in order to receive the second gift. LRH
gave CST two options over the marks and technology which he had given to RTC.
The first option is
- to take control of the trademarks on published LRH works and the
insignia of various organizations.
- The second option is over the Advanced Technology. CST has the option,
exercisable at its sole discretion, to take over use and authority of the
Advanced Technology from RTC if RTC allows their use in an unorthodox
manner.
The third gift was designated in LRH’s will of 1982. In it, CST
was made the conditional beneficiary of the remainder interest of LRH’s
personal estate, after certain bequests to family members. The CST bequest
included the copyrights to LRH'’ Scientology works, and certain limited
rights over the marks and technology that he had retained at the time of his
gift to RTC. It also included all of LRH’s non-Scientology works of fiction
which continue to produce royalties.
The publishing rights and copyrights alone carry with them the rights to
receive the substantial royalties which flow from sales of Scientology books
and tapes to the public. These rights will provide CST with a sizeable annual
income, but only if it achieves tax exempt status. These assets have not yet
been distributed to CST, and they are accumulation income as part of the
residual estate, which is being held by a pour-over trust.
The following copyrighted materials were included in LRH’s bequest to
CST:
- HCO Policy Letters;
- HCO Bulletins;
- Miscellaneous directives and orders concerning ecclesiastical
matters;
- Tapes of lectures on Scientology and the rendering of Scientology
services;
- Instructional films on Scientology.
As part of LRH’s estate planning, CST was founded in 1982 by Lyman
Spurlock, Meade Emory, Leon Misterek and Sherman Lenske.
One of CST’s specific duties, unique among Scientology churches, is to
create and maintain an archive of scriptures for future generations. The
other stated purpose behind CST was to provide LRH, then still living, with
a depository for the bulk of his testamentary estate, as explained above.
CST’s founders wanted to accomplish “the creation of an organization to
which Mr. Hubbard would be willing to (and did) bequeath the bulk of his
estate, and most importantly his copyrights and patents (which include
copyrights to scriptures of the religion and patents on the E-Meter).”
The four Special Directors, with the exception of Spurlock, are
non-Scientologists. They must be lawyers to ensure that CST takes no action to
jeopardize its tax exempt status.
The General Directors and staff of CST must be Sea Org members in good
standing. The Trustees are required to have been Scientologists for at least 8
years and must be highly trained in Scientology. They must be actively
involved in giving and receiving Scientology services and train for 12 and
half hours per week.
Three of the four Trustees worked previously for Church of Scientology of
California which was dismantled in 1981. Terri Gamboa is a Trustee of
CST.
She was at the same time a Director, the President, and a shareholder of
Author Services, Inc. Greg Wilhere, a Trustee of CST, was formerly an
employee of the Founding Church of Scientology, CSC, and the Church of
Scientology Flag Service Organization.
Marion Meisler is a Trustee of CST. She was at the same time an
employee of ASI. Lyman Spurlock is President of CST, one of its
Directors, and one of its Trustees. He is also a Trustee of RTC. As Trustee, Spurlock
has the authority to elect and remove Directors who run RTC. Thus Spurlock has
the ability to influence RTC’s activities.
Dan Przybylski is Vice President of CST and one of its Directors. He
has been an employee of CSC, CSI, and RTC. Leo Johnson is Secretary and
Nancy O’ Meara is Treasurer of CST.
CST is in the process of archiving Scientology scriptures. It has
purchased several large parcels of land. Its administrative offices and main
preservation facility is in San Bernardino, California. There is a 6,000
square foot preservation building and another facility will be built to house
original Scientology scriptures.
CST has purchased other sites for storage facilities. CST has archive sites
in Northern California and New Mexico and has plans to acquire additional
sites. Vault construction in New Mexico was begun in 1986 after construction
of staff living quarters, access roads and water supply. Underground tunnels
are being dug at the New Mexico site. Vault construction at San Bernardino and
Northern California is predicted to cost over 5 million.
CST intends to preserve Scientology scriptures in all of the forms in which
they currently exist, printed page, taped lecture and films. CST is also
involved in developing new E-Meter technology.
The stages of archiving are elaborate. First, CST must obtain the original
Scientology work. Originals have been found in the possession of individuals
in many different countries. In most cases, the possessors of the documents
donated them to CST for preservation. CST also obtains originals from RTC.
There are 42 LRH films and over 6500 original audio tapes to be archived. CSI is to provide a transcript of each tape to CST. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (15))
Religious Technology Center (RTC) incorporated. L. Ron Hubbard donated all
trademarks of Dianetics and Scientology to RTC. (CofS)
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Church of Spiritual
Technology (CST) dba L. Ron Hubbard Library.
The articles of incorporation state:
Specifically its purpose is to espouse, present, propagate, practice,
ensure, and maintain the purity and integrity of the religion of
Scientology, as the same has been developed and may be further developed by
LRH to the end that any person wishing to, and participating in Scientology
may derive the greatest possible good of the spiritual awareness of his
Beingness, Doingness and Knowingness.
Its purpose is to protect and preserve the religion of Scientology
through establishment of religious scholarship funds, museums, librarys and
such other institutions which will ensure the benefits of Scientology to
future generations. More particularly, the corporation is formed for the
accomplishment, without limitation, of the following more specific purposes:
a. To serve as a means of promulgating, preserving and administering the
religious faith of Scientology throughout the world.
The corporation is dedicated to religious purposes and no part of the
income or assets shall inure to the benefit of any private party.
The corporation has no members.
If the corporation is dissolved, its assets shall be distributed to one
or more nonprofit funds, foundations, trusts or corporations which are
organized and operated exclusively for religious purposes and which are
entitled to tax exempt status.
The articles can only be changed by a unanimous vote of all Directors. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (51))
Lyman Spurlock directed the creation of all the Scientology new
corporations in 1981 & 82. He is one of the four co-founders of CST and he
is the only Scientologist among them.
CST is unique in that it is the only Scientology corporation known to have “Special
Directors”. It is a secret who these people are.
The reason why nobody knows who these “Special Directors” are, has to
do with California corporate law and IRS codes. In California, only members of
a religious corporation can have access to the corporate records that name the
special directors, trustees, directors and officers. And the CST was set up
specifically to have no members. So it was the founders of CST who made sure
that the identities of the people running it would be forever protected.
At the top of the CST corporate structure are the “Special Directors”.
The command line:
- Special Directors – they have the power to elect and remove the
Trustees
- Trustees - they have the power to elect and remove the Board of
Directors
- Board of Directors - they have the power to elect and remove the
Officers Officers
A 1992 United States Claims Court case says Sherman Lenske is one of
the “Special Directors”. His brother Stephen Lenske and law partner
Lawrence Heller are also.
The same Court case says that there are 4 co-founders for CST:
Sherman Lenske, Meade Emory, Leon Misterek - all tax attorneys &
non-Scientologists Lyman Spurlock – a CPA who is a Sea Org member.
Sherman Lenske:
He was instrumental in the corporate restructuring of all of Scientology.
He also drafted the new last minute will that LRH allegedly signed the day
before his death, giving all of the copyrights to CST. Because of this CST
has control over RTC, ASI, CSI and all Scientology entities. (It is said
that the last minute will was notarized by David Miscavige and a handwriting
expert said LRH’s signature is a forgery. We will verify this.)
Meade Emory:
He was Assistant to the Commissioner of the IRS from 1975-1977. This was
when Gerald Wolfe was caught stealing IRS documents for the Guardian’s
Office. As a result, the FBI raided, leading to the overthrow of MSH and
dissolution of the Guardian’s Office, by David Miscavige. Then, less than
a year later, Emory is a co-founder of CST. And, CST ends up in control of
everything that MSH and the Guardian’s Office previously controlled. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (15, 16,
59))
Lyman Spurlock:
He is the only co-founder who is a Scientologist. As a co-founder, he
apparently appointed himself as one of the Trustees. Then as a Trustee he
elected himself as a Director and then as President (corporate officer).
Later, in 1996 he also holds the post of Tax Compliance Officer in RTC.
(Per the secret agreement that Miscavige made with the IRS in 1993 – this
makes him an IRS agent too.)
Leon Misterek:
Little is known about this Seattle attorney. The only comment he would
give about being a CST co-founder was that he did it when he was a law
partner with Meade Emory. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (59))
How CST grabbed the copyrights:
The day before his death, LRH’s will is changed, handing over
control of his estate to Norman Starkey. Starkey’s duties mainly
concern transferring about 8,000 copyrighted titles that were left in trust by
LRH, to CST.
After Ron’s death, Norman Starkey gathers up every LRH copyright in sight
for the next 7 years. Then, on 29 November 1993, right after Miscavige made
the secret agreement with the IRS, he transfers them to CST. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (59))
Through a complex series of assignments and agreements, CST owns all of the
copyrights to all works by LRH and all “based on the works of LRH” or “derived
from the works of LRH”. In addition to owning and licensing all copyrights,
it possesses the right to seize all Dianetic and Scientology trademarks and
all of Scientology’s Advanced Technology.
“CST has the power to dismantle RTC by taking over the religious
trademarks and use of the Advanced Technology, thereby gaining direct control
over all Scientology Organizations…” Church of Spiritual Technology v.
United States, 26b CL Ct.713 afff.991 F.2d (sic) (1992). (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (13))
Thus, CST has ultimate power over the entire domain of all
Scientology-related entities, including RTC. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (15, 13))
Jesse Prince says that the attorneys, Lenske and Heller, are also key
players. If you talk about somebody that is running Scientology besides
Miscavige then you look at those attorneys.
HCOPL 14 June 1965 Politics, Freedom From: “… the United States
government and the efforts of that government since 1955, stepped up since
1963, TO SEIZE SCIENTOLOGY RATHER THAN FORBID OR STOP IT…”
Jesse says they have a secret corporation as a back up in case anything
happens to CST. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (43, 76))
So if something happened in the U.S. to CST then the foreign corporation
would take over the assets and say they really owned them. (http://www.clever.net/webwerks/veritas/secret/index.htm)
Pat Broeker and David Miscavige resign their positions in the
Sea Org and are now full time non-Sea Org members running RTC and
Author Services. (Criminal Time Track:

Heber Jentzsch, President of CSI, files restated articles of
incorporation for Church of Scientology International.

more nonprofit funds, foundations, trusts or corporations which are organized

Sector Operations Bulletin No. 12
"Models and Scenarios" is released by Capt. Bill Robertson aka
Astar.
He basically describes the 7 Scenarios run against LRH and Scientology.
These scenarios were run from 7 to 1.
- S1-INFILTRATE TAKEOVER TEAM
- S2-INFILTRATE PDH SUBJECTS
- S3-DOCTOR CONTROL
- S4-AGENT PROVOCATEUR
- S5-LEGAL LOSS
- S6-MONEY MASH
- S7-BLACK PR
Quote from S1:
Finally, the Key Scenario, the one which all the others cover, confuse, and make seem incredible. A rough quote from an FBI memorandum obtained through the Freedom of Information Act in 1978 will state it very well:
"To infiltrate the Church and move our agents up to Board of Director positions. We must also prevent the spread of Scientology to China and Japan as it is so similar to Bhuddism it would spread like wildfire".
Broeker and Miscavige engage in a political purge. Virtually every senior
church executive, except those that are under their influence, are pulled off
post, comm-eved, and for the most part, declared and expelled.
Here is a partial list of these execs:
- John Nelson – CO CMO INT
- Kerry Gleason - ED INT
- Allen Buchanan - Deputy ED INT
- Moe Samuels - CO CMO SU
- John Axel – SMI
- Roger Barnes – ED SMI
- Pat Hunter – LRH Comm INT
- Bess Sullivan – CO FOLO
- Emil Gilbert – CO FOLO Canada
- Chris Stevens – CO SU
- Peter Warren – Div 6 INT
- Jay Horowitz – FEBC Supervisor
- Julie Gilespie – SNR C/S INT staff
- David Mayo – SNR C/S INT
In addition, the Commanding Officer of every FOLO and every org in the U.S.
Some of them were told they could receive no services for 20 years and they
had to get 2,000 people into Scientology before being allowed back. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (8))
The International Network of Computer Organized Management (INCOMM) was
formed within the Church of Scientology International to establish and operate a
major international management computer system which assists in the standard
application of Scientology policy and technology and as a result facilitates
rapid expansion. (CofS)
INCOMM was created to be the computer data base for Scientology. Foster Thompkins was put in charge of the setup. It
was to serve as a repository for all LRH writings so they could be word searched. (That was "SIR" or Source Information
Retrieval). Routing forms were to go into the computer base. Time machine programs were to run the programs,
automatically ordering the person to do the step. And there was email. (Financial recods and other were to be added later,
he said.)
Foster said there were basically three elements that INCOMM was to be protected against. The first was internal personnel
gaining unauthorized access to files or mail.
The second was external hackers. For a long time this was to not be a problem as there was no modem hookup. There was
no way one could dial into the INCOMM data base. But Foster knew it would come and various firewalls had to be put into
place to ensure that no hacker could gain entry. He promised INCOMM would be "hacker proof." (Some initial off-site connections were made via microwave and, he
said, a double encryption process.) INCOMM was located in the room where the old Intelligence Bureau had been when it was raided
in 1977. It was on the ground (and slightly sub-ground) floor under the front of the Cedars complex. There were no windows.
Access was only through several specially secured doors. (Robert Vaughn Young Posts to ARS)
There was another aspect to INCOMM that was and has been held confidential for a long period of time. INCOMM was set up by LRH in the early 1980's.
There are about 12 confidential communications concerning INCOMM from LRH to Foster Tompkins and vice versa. The 12 or so communications between LRH and Foster are referred to as 'advices' and are rather like email. This project was held highly confidential.
At first the INCOMM project I refer to was completely independent of the RTC. The International Org Board in 1985 shows INCOMM parallel to RTC on the first charts, and shortly later in a revision, it shows up below the RTC and off-center without a direct line to the RTC.
The INCOMM computer program based on the e-mail messages of LRH to Foster Tompkins (later, Ronnie Miscavige was
included in the program) in which LRH describes a planet CHUG that was computer controlled. INCOMM is about
implementing the CHUG concept. This was their 100% purpose. Within security areas its purpose was clearly labelled 'space opera stuff'. LRH said that in one of the confidential e-mail messages to Tompkins. There was a special computer in B-area that contained nothing but those 12 messages.
One had to have an 'B' security clearance to read any of the advices/emails.
This computer was _off-limits_ even for the RTC missions that came into INCOMM in '85. BTW, CHUG, and everything regarding this required a $500,000 bond.
It was several times mentioned that computerization would be paramount for exporting the tech. This was a quite normal assumption and not specifically secret.
Putting all the pieces together, it appeared that they were researching the basics for a space org. Their mission goal was so confidential that there was no possible clearance for it. Tompkins reported _only_ to LRH until the official death of LRH early '86. As an aside, after LRH's death, Dr. Chuck Prenner took over the INCOMM project from Foster Thompkins and Ronnie Miscavige.
Space Org Projects - Spatia Lingua - Language Database and Learning Program
The project was to form a combined data base/language trainer/future translator for _every possible_ language, whether currently existing or not.
Those that had studied the Pali dialect were recruited. Pali is not just a Sanskrit dialect. It is (besides the alleged language of the Buddha) the language that is, according to LRH, the closest to 'Spatia Lingua', the language that supposedly is the official diplomatic language in this sector. (As a side note, LRH also mentioned Pali in Battlefield Earth.)
Those involved in the project were to 'test' the language data base by inputting 'German' and Pali'. The concept was that the data base would be filled with expressions while the person was learning the very language.
This excludes any language for which native speakers already exist. The other function of the program connected to that data base, was to generate 'tutorial's' for the language that is being entered, again while the language is being entered (not just afterwards). This is quite an odd concept, unless one is not dealing with a completely alien language. (Robert Vaughn Young Posts to ARS)
Church of Scientology New Haven, Connecticut founded. (CofS)
Mayo says he was trying to correct current upper level management,
which resulted in hostilities and the covert cutting of his comm line to LRH.
He and Julie Mayo were attempting to cause some reforms while they were
within the Church. He is one of hundreds of long standing Scientology execs
removed in this political purge. (Criminal Time Track:

Miscavige assigns Julie Mayo to the RPF. She says that information had been
sent to LRH that made him upset with the Mayo’s and several others and they
were never given an opportunity to correct that information. She spends the
next few months running around a tree, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. There
was no time off, even to do her laundry. (Criminal Time Track:

David Mayo: On the morning of 29 August 82, I was removed from post by
David Miscavige and Steve Marlowe in the presence of Marc Yager
for being "anti-management". It was also stated by
Miscavige that I had been responsible for getting rid of
messengers and he named John Nelson, Dede Voegeding, Gale Irvin,
Anne Taskett, Donna Robinson, Lois Reisdorf, etc., - all persons
whom David Miscavige and Pat Broeker had had removed from post
and later had offloaded. The four staff who had worked with me
and another person (who had C/Sed my folder) were also removed
from post and put onto heavy MEST work and/or assigned to the RPF
at the same time. I was placed under 24-hour guard and
subsequently various other atrocities occured to myself and
others. Within a week, Kerry Gleeson, Alan Buchanan and other key
execs (a total of about 18) were also removed from post by
Miscavige, Vicki Aznaran and Steve Marlowe. About a month later,
a Comm Ev was convened which contained as a main charge being
"anti-management" and numerous other accusations of
"crimes" and "high crimes". About a month
after my removal, David Miscavige told me that he was going to
destroy my technical reputation in case I didn't "come
around" to their way of thinking as too many people
considered me to be an opinion leader. Various technical
"investigations" were done by Gelda Mithoff, Ray
Mithoff, Jesse Prince and Mike Eldridge to that end. Similarly,
the idea of orgs or FOLOs or missions having any degree of
initiative were viewed as efforts to be "autonomous"
and "riding the enemy line", as were matters relating
to prices, comm between management and Scns, etc etc.
During this period, the idea of prosecuting Scientologists (by
RTC) - both staff members and public Scientologists- and the
"policy" of "Excommunication" and debarrment
from OT levels and from any auditing and training forever were
also introduced. Much more could be said on such subjects and the
events which occurred during the period from 29 Aug 82 when I was
removed, to 14 February 1983 when I left, but these matters
confirmed my conclusion that
- what was occurring in top
management of Scientology was not Scientology, and
- that it was
not possible for me to bring about a constructive change or
reformation "from within" the organization and
- that
I should no longer support or condone what was occurring by my
continued presence at CMO INT or in the Sea Org, as to stay on
under those circumstances would have been a betrayal of Scn and
everything we stood for.
Note: The allegation that I had "embezzled" money
was a fabrication concerning the money collected from the
dissemination course pilot (mentioned above). I did not, in fact,
personally receive any of that money and the cheques were made
out to a C of S account. A private investigator was even called
in and spent some hours questioning me regarding this matter in
the presence of Geoff Shervell, as well as investigating the
accounting etc., and finally told me that he had found nothing to
substantiate the allegations and had been "misbriefed"
on the matter. (David Mayo,
8.12.83)
LRH gave an order to bring the best cramming officer to the secret
international management base in Hemet, Ca. He was needed there to do
correction on upper level management execs because they had no clue how to
manage international Scientology. Jesse Prince was Cramming Officer at
Flag and he was selected.
Jesse Prince attends bi-weekly meetings at Author Services Inc. over the
next 5 years.
Jesse then learns that David Mayo had fallen from graces because LRH
thought he had been bought off by Scientology mission holders and was either a
dupe or a plant. Mayo is accused of squirreling the tech. (Criminal
Time Track: Issue II)
Stacy Young is assigned to the RPF because she is openly critical of
Miscavige’s coercive and degrading treatment of staff members. His style of
management was screaming profanities and terrorizing the staff. The ASI
offices were on the 9th floor, yet people could hear Miscavige screaming down
on the street a block away.
One day he gave Stacy an insight into why he acted this way. He said “You
think I yell loudly, but you’ve never heard anyone yell until you’ve heard
LRH. I’ll never be able to scream the way he does. But Stacy, that’s the
only way to get compliance.” Stacy realized then that Miscavige was trying
to be like LRH in preparation for taking Ron’s place when he died.
Anyone who disagreed with Miscavige or challenged his authority in any way
was branded a traitor who was out to destroy Scientology. This is why David
Mayo was ousted and replaced with Ray Mithoff. Many others were
thrown out in 1981 & 1982 and replaced with people who would obey
Miscavige orders unquestionably. John Nelson, head of CMO is removed by
Miscavige and replaced with Miscavige loyal follower, Marc Yaeger.
Jim Isaacson was in charge of investing Ron’s money and he was
expected to show a profit every week. Miscavige would scream mercilessly at
Jim every day. One day Miscavige found Jim lost a large amount of money by
investing incorrectly in the gold market. Miscavige and Starkey literally
dragged Jim into a conference room. For the next 3½ hours Miscavige yelled at
Jim, demanding who sent him to destroy Scientology. Miscavige then told Stacy
to get the information from Jim and to not let him leave until he confessed
everything.
When Stacy went in the conference room she found Jim collapsed on the
table.
His eyes were glazed and he was shaking uncontrollably. She told him to go
home and get some sleep. Jim was sent to the RPF a few days later. His wife, Joyce
Isaacson, was already in the RPF for refusing to go along with Miscavige’s
brutal treatment of staff.
The RPF filled up with people who tried to stand up to Miscavige. Any staff
who were critical of Miscavige were sent to the RPF. He surrounded himself
with people who were willing to do whatever he ordered.
One of Miscavige’s tactics to control people on staff was to separate
husband and wives.
One day Stacy told another staff member that Miscavige was a brutal,
tyrannical bully. That night security body routed her to the RPF.
Her stay in the RPF started with a gang bang sec check. Andre Tabayoyon
and Rick Aznaran screamed at her and interrogated her for hours at a
time.
Miscavige ordered that she do the “running program” as part of her
requirements for getting off of the RPF. This was running around a large pole
for 12 hours a day. This was to be done until she had a realization of what
was wrong with her, whereupon she would stop being critical of Miscavige.
At one point he ordered Stacy to Florida to separate her from her husband.
Because of a foot injury, she could not go and so she was kept in Los
Angeles, locked on the seventh floor and kept there under guard, so she could
not escape and reach her husband. (Criminal Time Track:

The corporate structure of
the Church of Scientology and associated entities
undergoes radical restructuring. At a Mission Holders'
Conference held in San Francisco, Warrant Officer Lyman
Spurlock is introduced as the "Corporate Affairs
Director of the Church". Spurlock starts his speech
by saying "Prior to the end of 1981, a few of us from
the CMO got together and took a look at the
corporate structure of the Church with the view in mind
of making it more defensible and more regular and
particularly not understandable by the traditional
enemies of the Church such as the IRS, and to
make an overall improvement" [my underlining]. The
phrases in italics are omitted in the transcript, but
exist in the tape of the Conference. Ref:
Tape recording of the Mission Holders' Conference, San
Francisco, 1982
(Timeline of Scientology versus the IRS)
A “Committee of Evidence” is convened on Julie Mayo and 15 other
executives.
This Comm Ev had apparently already found them guilty of ridiculously
outrageous things, before the Committee was ever convened. It was based on a
secret investigation by Gelda Mithoff who was also a member of the Comm Ev.
The Chairman of the Comm Ev was Ray Mithoff. The secret
investigation had resulted in the removal of David and Julie Mayo from SNR C/S
INT and they were replaced by Mithoff. Miscavige had ordered the Comm Ev and
his wife Shelly was also a member.
One night she and the 15 others were woken at 3AM and sec checked
individually by RTC execs Vicky Aznaran, Jesse Prince and Geoff Shervell. In
Julie’s sec check they said that unless she confessed that she was working
for the IRS, FBI or other government agency, she would be sent to jail, be
banned from tech lines forever and lose her eternity.
When Julie said she did not work for any government agency they said they
would go easier on her if she confessed to supplying Alan Walters with a
mailing list. Julie said she did not do that either, so they sent her to go
think about it and write her confession.
Julie was not allowed to defend herself at the Comm Ev. She was not allowed
to see the investigation reports and was given no opportunity to present her
side of the story. The Comm Ev did not have any evidence against her. When she
was called before the Committee for the last time, there was a sign in front
of Ray Mithoff which said “You could be sent to the pokey for two years.”
Julie asked on what grounds she could be sent to the pokey and Ray said for
out tech. Julie then CSWed to leave. By this time there were security fences
around Gilman Hot Springs and the security office was now full of guns that
had not been there before. Julie was kept under constant guard. Her CSW to
leave was not answered so she decided to try to escape. (Criminal Time Track:

Flo Barnett is an old St. Hill class VI auditor. Her daughter, Michelle, is
married to David Miscavige. When she got a transcript of the Mission Holders
Meeting from the org she was upset by what went on at this meeting. She told
her friend, Joyce Stephenson, that the people running RTC are mentally sick or
worse still, SP. (Seven months later she tells Joyce that the C of S has been
taken over by the enemy and all of the good people have been kicked out. Joyce
heard there are more Class XIIs in the field than at orgs.) (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (73))
By this time, Miscavige had established ASI, RTC, CSI and CST, and obtained
control over all Scientology corporate bank accounts.
The second Mission Holders meeting is held in San
Francisco, with 400 mission holders attending. Miscavige gathered staff
from ASI and they put on SO uniforms and took over control and terrorized the
Mission Holder's’ Conference.
The other Sea Org members assisting Miscavige:
- Lyman Spurlock as Corporate Affairs Director, ASI
- Norman Starkey, Legal Affairs Director ASI
- Ray Mithoff, Snr C/S Int
- Marc Yager CO CMO Int
- Guillaume Lesevre, ED Int
- Steve Marlow, IG RTC
- Wendell Reynolds, Finance Dictator Int (Head of International Finance
Police.)
David Miscavige informs the mission holders that he and RTC had taken over
all Scientology organizations. He says that LRH donated the vast majority of
the trademarks to RTC. He tells them that every franchise holder would be
required to sign a new agreement with RTC and if they did not do so they would
be fined or thrown into jail.
Individuals who objected to the ASI, RTC take over of the assets were
locked into rooms and interrogated on the e-meter and were either forced to
sign the new agreements or removed from their positions and deprived of their
business, property and possessions.
Several Mission holders were expelled on the spot for being unhappy about
what they were hearing. Miscavige orders the mission holders to pay large sums
of money for a promo campaign for DMSMH, under threat of being investigated
for crimes against Scientology and losing their businesses if they refused. As
a result, millions of dollars are paid to CSI and RTC accounts.
Six Hundred people are declared Suppressive and expelled from Scientology
at this time.
All people who criticized Miscavige or refused to obey his orders were
subject to expulsion.
It was a show of brute Sea Org strength and was touted in the Sea Org
Expansion News, entitled “The Sea Org Moves In”. It was done under the
guise of “protecting the tech” and “getting people on source” when it
really was nothing more than a consolidation of power. Vaughn heard the brags
of Miscavige, Starkey and Spurlock when they returned to ASI, boasting how
they terrorized people and how successful their “raid’ was. (Criminal Time Track:

HCOPL 7 August 1965 Suppressive Persons, Main Characteristics Of – Good
staff members are a prime target for SPs. In one org where an SP got a
foothold, 60% of the staff was gotten rid of …..
AN SP WILL SEEK TO UPSET AND GET RID OF THE BEST STAFF MEMBERS.
HCOPL 5 April 1965 Academies Relation To HCO Justice… Here’s “Whee,
kill everybody!” in person. Here also is the possible government agent, the
AMA BMA stooge. Here is the guy who plans to “squirrel” and “grab
Scientology”.
Note: Coupled with all of this, prices are raised considerably, making
services easily affordable to only about 10% of the people with sufficient
incomes.
The amount of people on courses drops and thereafter, orgs look like
morgues compared to the way they were in the 1970s.
Thus, more of the group engram was laid in. The group got serious, not fun.
The tone level of the group drops to fear. These fears exist to this day:
- fear of Miscavige
- fear of RTC
- fear of the RPF
- fear of OSA
- fear of being denied eligibility to the OT levels
- fear to speak out
- fear to apply KSW etc.
The outpoint is wrong direction on the tone scale for the group (down
instead of up) – thanks to these Merchants of Fear: David Miscavige &
his closest aides, and their - - REIGN OF TERROR - Science of Survival:
- “An auditor is not trying to cure anything. He is simply raising tone.”
- The whole idea of Scientology is to raise beings on the tone scale:
- Around tone 4 you reach a state called clear.
- Around tone 8 you reach a state called theta clear.
- Around tone 20 you reach a state called cleared theta clear aka OT.
- Going down to fear on the tone scale is not Scientology – it is
suppression.
From then to the present, the Church of Scientology pays millions to
lawyers. These attorney fees are used as a money-laundering scheme to pay
private investigators for covert black intelligence operations against
enemies. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (13, 22,
30, 38))
If the target is a Scientologist, one of the things done is to turn the
person’s preclear folders over to the non-Scientologist PIs. The person’s
confessional data is pulled for blackmail, extortion or a black PR campaign to
assassinate his character and ruin the person’s reputation with his friends,
relatives and employers with the intention of ruining his life.
Staff members in OSA’s intelligence unit would also go through the
folders looking for buttons, such as fears, what the person is trying to
protect, etc. and these would be used to design black intelligence operations
against the person. (Criminal Time Track:
Issue III, (14, 22))
Note: This includes black operations on DM’s imagined enemies – all
of the truly dedicated Scientologists he has had expelled simply because
they dared to challenge his psychotic leadership or squirreling. They had no
actual crime against Scientology, loved LRH and the tech enough to apply KSW
and stand up to him. So, he got rid of them, not because they were any
threat to Scientology, but only because he imagined them to be a threat to
him.
A recent AOSH posting announced there were over 600 declared
in the past recent months. Many of these were declared BEFORE
Comm Ev. Some were declared for opposing management opinion about
how things should be done. Others for unproven or unidentified
points. Most list completely generalized charges with no specific
accounting of what the person did. It has even gone so far as to
list sexual behavior such as "adultery" as part of the
reason this person is now considered to be a suppressive person,
deserving of being expelled from the Church.
Over 50 SO field auditors, CSes and whole field groups in LA
have terminated their practice in the last six months because
their delivery lines were shut down by the new unwritten policies
and by policies written by someone other than Ron. Specifically,
in one week, all field ethics delivery and admin scale delivery
was forbidden and still is -- all done verbally. Those who
questioned it were placed under immediate ethics investigations,
so everyone else shut up. All Volunteer ministers actions have
been verbally forbidden to the field and the policy that the
field could set its own rates for these actions was verbally
canceled. Any credit or barter (formerly OK for V.M. and Book I)
was also forbidden. Plus, Book I auditing was now supposed to be
sold in intensives. In addition, the field auditors (like the
Missions: See Mission Holders Conference S.F. late 82) were fined
$10,000 for every PC they had done actions on after the person
had reached Clear. The field (like the Mission Holders) were told
if they'd done this they were criminals and were guilty of the
crime of having ripped off the orgs of their rightful public. As
none of this was clearly written, communicated or defined prior,
most missions and field auditors had inadvertently become
criminals. Prosecution was threatened for anyone who didn't pay
up. Frightened, auditors and missions called their people and
dropped them in the middle of admin scales, repairs, ethics,
grades, etc. Thus, thousands of public ARCxs occurred on losing
their terminals. So the field went into the woodwork and the
missions went frantic trying to dig up funds already dispersed
for services already delivered. The field auditors were to be
charged $10,000 per Clear, even if the amount accepted from a
Clear was only $10. (See Mission Holders Conference S.F. 7. Nov.
82/SOED 2104). Plus, the missions were to pay for any SO missions
at the rate of $15,000 per day if the SO deemed it necessary to
investigate them -- whether they were found guilty of anything or
not. The small number of auditors left in the field were forced
to turn away half of their clients and income (see above).
Simultaneously, a 10% tax was demanded of their remaining
income and thus field groups were driven out of activity. Several
have just moved out of town. Some long-standing high volume
producers have been declared suppressive without Comm Ev -- one
is Troy Lotz. Some have notified the Church they are leaving but
will continue to deliver standard Scn. tech (L. and T. Greenberg). Others, no longer able to make a living delivering
tech, changed professions and stayed in the Church.
A survey has turned up the overwhelming reality that Missions
and field auditors felt they had a choice of staying in the
Church but having to give up their professional Scn. careers, or
of leaving the Church so they could afford to deliver Scn.,
secure in knowing they could count on being able to continue to
deliver it. In fact, they felt more secure facing a potential
suit from the Church than they did in the Church -- knowing their
certs could be instantly suspended with no ethics protection of
proper on-policy procedures. Now there is a pitifully small
number of field auditors remaining and they've joined "I
HELP".
It is not only the field that has been unmocked from these
non-LRH policies and orders. Last year, hundreds of SO and non-SO
personnel holding org posts in the PAC area alone were offloaded
simultaneously with no provisions for qualified replacements.
This included our most important tech posts such as the Class 8
Course Sup and lower-org internship sups. All non-SO staff
working for some pay were offloaded with no replacement
provision. Now, one year later, key posts remain unmanned. Not
only was the Class 8 Course Sup offloaded with no replacement,
even the Class 8 confidential courseroom became used for sessions
and the students on the confidential course were ordered to study
their confidential packs in the non-confidental courserooms.
ARCxn complaining students were sent to ethics if they didn't go
along with it. Naturally, some students blew. This is just one of
the many unmocked areas that occurred in the spring and summer
1982 during the wholesale offloading of staff. The Class 8 Sup,
by the way, was a good sup and offloaded only because she wasn't
S.O. As the non-S.O. staff were paid salaries, this offloading
was supposed to be a cost-cutter, so money was actually the whole
issue in point; such an issue, in fact, that it took precedence
over keeping the major courses of the orgs intact at all. These
days the S.O. (many S.O. were also offloaded) is hurting for
staff and going into heavy-handed recruitments. They have also
been forced to hire back some non-S.O. staff, particularly tech
staff, as tech has been one of the more heavily Comm-Ev'd areas
for the S.O.
Over 10 missions and orgs have openly left Scientology because
they could not afford to pay fines levied on them at the S.F.
Mission Holders Conference of Nov. 7., 1982. (You must read this
to understand fully what has happened.) Other missions have left
because they were unwilling to continue under a management that
used threats and force to control them and which accused them of
being criminals. Reading a copy of this meeting will make it
plain why there is a large and growing exodus from the Church.
The leaders, and even the new Senior C/S Int, have been
influenced away from the most fundamental concepts and principles
of Scientology, influenced by someone into actually believing
that force, threats, and punishment drive mechanisms will
create a product . This non-Scientology technique has created
a reaction of recoil away from the Church and that reaction is in
proportion to the out-of-ARC force that was used. (Dave Tops Debrief)
