1985

1985

Jesse Prince hires attorney Earle Cooley to handle RTC’s suit against David Mayo’s group, Advance Ability Center. When Mayo left Scientology he took nothing with him, so when he started his group, he had to re-write the NOTS materials from his memory. This was easy for him to do since he was the one who had written all of the NOTS materials when he was in the church.

RTC infiltrated Mayo’s group and committed the crime of breaking and entering to obtain a copy of Mayo’s rewritten NOTS materials. These materials were then evidence in the copyright lawsuit that RTC brought against Mayo.

Attorney Cooley knew that RTC obtained Mayo’s rewritten NOTS materials illegally. In preparing Jesse Prince to take the stand in this case, Cooley advised Jesse to lie about how RTC got Mayo’s materials. Cooley told Jesse to testify under oath that someone had dropped the materials off on the front steps. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (27, 38, 39, 42))

Julie Christofferson is awarded 39 million in damages in her lawsuit against the Church.

The court found the Church guilty of practicing “Fair Game” against her and awarded her damages. Miscavige was personally managing the case. David orders all Scientologists to Portland for the Portland Crusade. Several months later a judge ruled it a mistrial. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (26))

Miscavige and Jesse Prince are pals at this time and DM confides to Jesse that they did not want LRH appearing in court. DM tells Jesse there’s some things about LRH you just don’t know and you have got to grow up and know  something, that LRH is mentally unstable. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (40))

Also, Rick Aznaran was up at Creston once and he told Jesse that he could hear Ron screaming at thetans late at night when he was there. The servants were also aware of this.

Ron was heavily medicated with drugs from Dr. Denk, like valium and tranquilizers. Rick opened the medicine drawer and was surprised to find every kind of drug imaginable.

Jesse says that LRH was having Denk assist him with research. Denk provided any drug LRH wanted and LRH was being the guinea pig. Dennis Erlich claims to have met a guy who was also bringing cocaine, marijuana and LSD to LRH in Creston. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (40))

A black operation is begun to physically attack witnesses for government litigation against the Church, and other “enemies.” The operatives have the code name “The Minutemen.” Miscavige and Rathbun would say to Eugene Ingram, wouldn’t it be nice if so and so got beat up. Ingram would assign one or two of his operatives to do it. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (14, 38))

One such vigilante was sent to attack expelled Scientologist, Bent Corydon. 

A Mexican Scientologist was severely beaten up. There are many others, some of whom appear on this time track. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (13, 41))

Jesse Prince says that DM was personally running the intelligence operatives  who were doing black operations on Flo.

According to DM, this is the only communication received from LRH since 1984. It was a 5 minute tape wherein he gave his New Year’s greetings and announced a breakthrough in his researches. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (38))

Note: Ron’s voice is shaky in this tape – something is wrong.
