Scientology --- Bill Franks, Are You Being Served? <p>

Bill Franks, Are You Being Served?

Look how desperate the cult is to keep a man named Bill Franks out of Judge Schaeffer's court. They are so desperate that they even skirt the line of getting their entire case thrown out.

They also attempt to claim that somehow they have an "agreement to refuse to appear when subpoenaed" that somehow magically prevents a witness from showing up in court pursuant to a court order. The judge doesn't think much of this.

Therefore, Bill Franks will appear.

Anyone who knows who Bill Franks is knows why this could be very important.

http://groups.google.com/groups?sourceid=navclient&querytime=-dwbB&q=%22bill+franks%22+group%3Aalt%2Ereligion%2Escientology might answer your questions if you have any.

What is he here to testify about? Who knows?

Moxon, Fugate, Weinber and Drescher have been working themselves up into a lather about it, though.

Look how many times Judge Schaeffer has to smack them down in a few pages.

12 MR. DANDAR: Judge, I want to bring to your 13 attention what I believe is witness tampering by the 14 Church of Scientology.

15 THE COURT: Isn't it a wonderful day -- 16 MR. DANDAR: Isn't it wonderful?

17 THE COURT: -- to start? It's just such a 18 wonderful day.

19 MR. DANDAR: I can't help it, but you 20 ordered Mr. Franks yesterday to appear. They refused 21 to produce the agreement or release they have with 22 Mr. Franks. You ordered him to appear based upon the 23 subpoena he was served. And here's Mr. Drescher from 24 the Church of Scientology threatening him that he 25 better not appear.

KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 944

1 MR. FUGATE: Are you going to produce a 2 copy -- 3 MR. WEINBERG: This is a May 20th letter.

4 MR. DANDAR: Did I give you the wrong one?

5 MR. WEINBERG: I don't know. You gave me a 6 May 20th letter.

7 THE COURT: What's today?

8 MR. LIEBERMAN: The 24th.

9 MR. MOXON: 24th, 5th? 4th.

10 THE COURT: I don't think I've seen this 11 letter. I think this is not in the packet of letters 12 that I got.

13 MR. DANDAR: Correct. This is a new one.

14 It's apparently misdated.

15 THE COURT: Okay.

16 MR. WEINBERG: Well, excuse me. You know, 17 come on. What do you mean, it's misdated? You just 18 handed me this thing and it has May 20th on it and 19 it's signed by Mr. Drescher.

20 THE COURT: It doesn't really matter to me.

21 I haven't seen it. And I'm -- 22 MR. WEINBERG: I'm sorry, I didn't mean 23 to . . .

24 MR. DANDAR: It's a different letter from 25 the other one.

KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 945

1 THE COURT: Yes. I don't have this, and I 2 don't honestly know up here -- 3 MR. WEINBERG: I think you put them in the 4 front.

5 THE COURT: I think I put them somewhere 6 thinking I wouldn't have to see them for quite a 7 while.

8 MR. WEINBERG: I think you had them right up 9 front.

10 THE COURT: Yes. Gee, you're right.

11 Thanks. I'd forgotten.

12 MR. DANDAR: Well, I can tell you, Judge, 13 the one I handed you is dated May 20th, 2002. The one 14 that was presented to you yesterday or the day before 15 is dated May 20th, 2000.

16 THE COURT: Yes. That's clearly -- that's 17 certainly an error.

18 MR. DANDAR: This was just faxed to us this 19 morning by Mr. Franks -- Drescher. Actually, I think 20 it was yesterday evening.

21 MR. MOXON: With a cover letter from 22 Mr. Franks, Mr. Dandar?

23 MR. DANDAR: I have the letter, but that's 24 in my possession.

25 MR. MOXON: Can I see the cover letter?

KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 946

1 MR. DANDAR: No. Go sit down.

2 THE COURT: All right, men. I'm not going 3 to put up with it.

4 Well, Mr. Dandar, all I can suggest is I 5 have a subpoena out there, I guess, and it's the 6 Court's -- the subpoena is really just a command of 7 the Court. And I can't imagine that there's any 8 agreement that says that somebody can be fined for 9 coming to court on a command of the Court, which is 10 what I consider a subpoena.

11 As far as I'm concerned, it's my demand. I 12 expect him to be here, and if there's some agreement 13 that says that a Court can't demand a witness to 14 appear in court, well, then we'll just have to see how 15 far that goes in the court.

16 And I would suggest that this does not make 17 the Court look good. I mean, he says he needs this 18 man for this hearing. You know, if there's something 19 going on with the breach of contract, go sue the man.

20 MR. WEINBERG: Well, if I may, but, your 21 Honor, he hasn't said why. And -- and he's already -- 22 he hasn't said why. He's already had an experience 23 with other people that have entered agreements. And 24 what he's doing is, through a subterfuge, is trying -- 25 obviously, the Court can order anybody to appear, and KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 947

1 there's no agreement anywhere in the world that would 2 prevent the Court from ordering somebody to appear, 3 unless -- no, nothing that would prevent the Court, 4 but Mr. Franks is prevented from entering into a 5 subterfuge to circumvent the agreement -- for example, 6 by coming to the International Mall in Tampa from out 7 of state, making himself available for a subpoena.

8 THE COURT: But that sounds like something 9 that goes on in a lawsuit that's filed -- 10 MR. WEINBERG: No, no -- 11 THE COURT: -- for a contract. Oh, I feel 12 certain that it will, but that's not my problem. This 13 is a witness. He's got him served. I haven't seen 14 the agreement yet.

15 MR. WEINBERG: Well, we -- 16 THE COURT: You have it.

17 MR. WEINBERG: We don't. But we were 18 provided -- apparently, there's going to be some -- 19 THE COURT: If you needed it in your case, 20 you could have had the thing in five minutes. I don't 21 have it. You could have it; you don't have it. So 22 that's the deal. My subpoena stands. I expect the 23 man to be here, period. You got a lawsuit to file, 24 file it.

25 MR. WEINBERG: And we'll cross-examine him KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 948

1 on -- 2 THE COURT: No, you won't in my court, 3 because that has to do with the lawsuit you've got.

4 He comes into my court to testify to something 5 relevant to these proceedings. And if he doesn't have 6 anything relevant to these proceedings, he'll be gone 7 as fast as he got here.

8 MR. WEINBERG: But -- 9 THE COURT: If he has something relevant -- 10 you aren't going to cross-examine as to his service.

11 That has to do with some lawsuit you've got.

12 MR. WEINBERG: As to his -- 13 THE COURT: Go file it. Take discovery.

14 MR. WEINBERG: -- previous agreements with 15 the Church, your Honor.

16 THE COURT: I don't want to hear it. I'm 17 not interested in it. I'm not interested in previous 18 agreements with the Church as -- he has relevant 19 information in this case. He's been subpoenaed. He 20 needs to come in and give it.

21 MR. WEINBERG: Well, I mean, he was with the 22 Church, and the circumstances that he left the Church 23 would be, I would suppose, would be relevant to 24 whatever it is he's going to say about the Church.

25 THE COURT: I don't know. Whatever is KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 949

1 relevant, certainly you can cross-examine him on. But 2 you're not going to cross-examine him on how it is 3 that he happened to be served and subterfuge and all 4 that sort of stuff. That certainly is not relevant to 5 these proceedings. How he left the Church, sure, that 6 might be relevant. I don't know what he's going to 7 say. I don't if he even knows anything relevant.

8 MR. WEINBERG: It would be surprising since 9 he left in 1982.

10 THE COURT: It would be, but all I know is 11 he says he needs him based on your motion to dismiss.

12 He's got him served. That's a summons from the Court.

13 MR. FUGATE: Judge, the only thing I rose to 14 say is we already did this. You already said that was 15 your position. We already agreed with that position.

16 This letter is very much like the letter that I wrote 17 to Mr. Dandar, reminding him that there was an 18 agreement. As Judge Moody said, you can make a 19 decision: You can breach the agreement or you can go 20 forward.

21 THE COURT: You people never like it when 22 anybody says anything that you think is critical.

23 Frankly, I don't like this. Luckily, it isn't one of 24 you. It's some other lawyer who is not in front of 25 me. If it were, I would be chastising him.

KANABAY COURT REPORTERS Page 950

1 I look at this as witness intimidation. If 2 I thought for a minute that you all were in any way 3 involved in it, I would consider a motion to dismiss 4 your counterclaim.

5 I'm not going to have it. I don't know who 6 William Drescher is. He's not a lawyer in front of 7 me. I don't like it. This is a clear effort to keep 8 a man from coming to this Court. I don't like it, and 9 I hope you all had nothing to do with it. If you did, 10 you'll answer accordingly. That's all I'm going to 11 say. I want to move on in this hearing.

1 March 1980 (Around when Hubbard "goes into seclusion"): "I truly believe that Hubbard really died in 1980 and that this involves a scam on top of a scam." --Bill Franks, Article, "The prophet and profits of Scientology," by Richard Behar; Forbes 400, 27 October 1986

===================

1 October 1980 (circa) The law firm Lenske, Lenske, Heller & Magasin is established - This paves the way for the firm to be "hired" by Norman F.

Starkey, the Scientology mole. Emory and Lenske will later make Starkey Executor of "L. Ron Hubbard's" Estate and Trustee of Author's Family Trust-B, the "pour-over" trust through which the IRS and Emory pour all the intellectual properties and assets into CST for the Lenske's control. (The date is estimated from a general statement in the second paragraph of a 12 November 1986 Declaration by Sherman Lenske about how long he had been with his own firm, plus other corroborating information.)

===================

1 April 1981 "Around April of 1981 Bill Franks was appointed the Executive Director International, the job had been offered to Ken Urquhart who had declined it, Bill Franks was appointed for life. There was a Policy Letter which I don't have a copy of but which can easily be obtained, which stated that Bill Franks was the Senior Ecclesiastical and Management Terminal of the Church of Scientology, was the International Executive Director, there was no higher terminal than himself, except the Founder." --Peter Greene Debrief; "Bill Franks is appointed to the post of ED International, ostensibly by LRH. Franks becomes a signatory on 'certain bank accounts in Luxembourg containing about 150 million dollars.'" --Criminal Time Track; "In 1981 Franks started taking Hubbard's name off these accounts as signatory. ...All this time Hubbard remained unseen by anyone in the church, from Franks on down." --Article, "The prophet and profits of Scientology," by Richard Behar; Forbes 400, 27 October 1986 [See this about Luxembourg bank accounts: 4 January 1988 CST Luxembourg Currency Transactions - http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/documents/1988-01-04luxembourg.html ]

"On 6 April 1981 I have a signed response from Bill Franks as Ed Int, to my response to his non-e formula from March 1981. At this time I was in External Communications, in the Sea org, Flag Bureaux. My post was Telex Receipt and Processing In Charge." --Virginia McClaughrey

===================

15 April 1981 Lenske, Lenske Heller & Magasin "hired" by Norman F.

Starkey - A complete fraud because the Lenskes had been involved in "Hubbard's" "business interests" for years. This merely gave the Lenskes "official" status to start restructuring Scientology according to IRS plan under Meade Emory's direction. (The law firm will soon have a name change to become just Lenske, Lenske & Heller.)

1 July 1981 The Guardian Office (GO) is disbanded, Mary Sue Hubbard removed - It took Meade Emory and his friend, tax attorney Sherman Lenske, lurking and working in the shadows to deliver the coup de gr�ce to the Guardian Office--a punk kid in a uniform dropping in on Mary Sue Hubbard with one hell of a "letter from attorneys"--the Lenske firm, backed by Emory--followed with a series of missions sent hither and yon to disband the GO, one of the main missionaires being Meade's boy Norman F. Starkey. (Starkey will be made Executor and Trustee over L. Ron Hubbard's estate, and will be the delivery boy for IRS, delivering the estate of L. Ron Hubbard into the hands of non-Scientologists Sherman and Stephen Lenske at CST.)

26 August 1981 Bill Franks, ED INT, issues Sea Org ED. 1789 INT. The routing is BPI [Broad Public Issue], All Staff, All Public, from Executive Director International. It was called "Management Changes."

Part of it is a description of how the G.O. had "turned around and gone adrift." --Peter Greene Debrief

===================

The Associated Press September 14, 1981, Monday, AM cycle HEADLINE: Shakeup in Top Office DATELINE: WASHINGTON BODY: The Church of Scientology has replaced a top official because of criminal convictions of church officials last year, the church said Sunday.

A statement by the church distributed in Washington said the Guardian Office in England, which had been autonomous, had been "reorganized and put under the direction of the Executive Director International Office."

A spokesman, the Rev. Gregory Taylor, said that Jane Kember, who had held the position of guardian, "was replaced" by Gordon Cook, who headed the Scientology organization in South Africa.

Ms. Kember was one of 11 persons convicted last November either of burglary or obstruction of justice charges in an alleged scheme to infiltrate government offices and steal documents. Mary Sue Hubbard, wife of founder L. Ron Hubbard, was among them.

Mrs. Hubbard resigned her church position "about a year ago," said Taylor. Her husband's only official position since 1966 has been that of a consultant, he said.

The statement Sunday from Bill Franks, executive director international, said the Guardian Office "went adrift" and in the criminal prosecution, "Here we had people representing the Church who had gotten themselves in a fight with the government when our very first policy is to maintain friendly relations with the environment. The mistakes made were simply that this policy was not followed and the results were predictably negative for the Church."

Taylor said "more than a dozen" people were replaced in the Guardian Office and the U.S. Guardian Office, though the deputy guardian for the United States, Laurie Zurn, continues to head that office in Los Angeles.

Sunday was Auditor's Day for Scientologists, a day of celebration in honor of the counselors called auditors in the church.

===================

The New York Times September 14, 1981, Monday, Late City Final Edition HEADLINE: AROUND THE NATION; Top Scientology Officials Removed From Church BYLINE: UPI DATELINE: WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 BODY: The Church of Scientology, reacting to recent adverse publicity, much of it a result of criminal convictions of some top officers, said today that it was replacing some of its leaders.

A statement by Bill Franks, the executive director international, said the group's England-based top office, known as the Guardian's Office, had gone ''adrift.'' Mr. Franks referred to the conviction of 11 top Scientologists, including Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of the church's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, on conspiracy and other charges related to break-ins at Federal Government offices.

Mrs. Hubbard had been the top officer of the church. The second in command, Jane Kember, was also convicted on charges related to the break-ins. Church officials in the United States said Mrs. Hubbard would be replaced by the Rev. Gordon Cook, a past head of the church in South Africa.

The American church, with headquarters in Los Angeles, continues to be headed by Laurie Zurn, the deputy Guardian. Church officials in Washington said several changes had been made in the American church.

===================

13 October 1981 Author Services, Inc. (ASI) is incorporated by Lenske, Lenske & Heller - Destined to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CST as a result of the IRS Closing Agreement, this for-profit corporation is the crucial next step in Meade Emory's plan. ASI is set up handling the exact same literary and "business interests" of "Hubbard" that the Lenskes were "hired" to handle, which Starkey gives away in his own Declaration. So ASI is merely an extension of the Lenskes' law office.

Norman F. Starkey is installed as the "Legal Officer," making him the go-between to Scientology for the Lenskes, and carrying out their, and Meade's, orders.

1 November 1981 "In early November 1981, a small Mission Holders Conference was called by Bill Franks at Flag. The meeting was conducted by Jens Bogvad of CMO and the Acting Controller, Gordon Cook. Data had come to light that the GO had had a program called 'Control of US Missions,' issued as a Guardian Order in 1975. This program was put forward in case the US Internal Revenue Services won their tax cases against the Church, and thusly managed to close down the Church Orgs.

The Missions were to immediately become Orgs in a new network. To achieve this end, several top mission holders (the Kemps and Bent Corydon, for example) had been declared. The Mission Holders Conference was held to handle these false declares." --Jon Atack, article, "So, What Really Happened?"

9 November 1981 Church of Scientology International (CSI) is incorporated - The next major building block in the Meade Emory/IRS master plan. This will be termed the "mother church" and be, to the general public, the administrative headquarters, housing the Executive Director International and Scientology "President" Heber Jentzsch, as well as the Office of Special Affairs (OSA). But CSI is a crippled middle management corporation, entirely dependent on licenses for trademarks and copyrights that are all controlled by CST. Emory plants a key control point in this organization, though, through OSA's "Tax Compliance Office."

12 December 1981 Gerald Armstrong steals $5,000,000 worth of Hubbard estate property - A mole working with the Lenskes, Armstrong is allowed to carry away close to 30,000 original Hubbard manuscripts and personal papers, later valued at $5 million. Armstrong stores them with Omar Garrison, and will later travel to Clearwater, Florida to deliver them to attorney Michael Flynn for use in lawsuits, in collusion with the Lenskes and the United States Treasury Department, to "prove" that Hubbard is "alive."

15? December 1981 "A much larger Mission Holders Conference was held at Flag in December 1981. Bill Franks arrived late with a CMO escort. Up to this point, no Policy Letter had been issued concerning the seniority of WDC to Franks, and HCOPL 11 Dec 80RA 'The ED Int' states that the ED Int is the senior ecclesiastical post in the Church. Consequently, Mission Holder Brown McKee assigned a condition of Confusion to CMO Int for their assumption of supremacy over Franks. The condition was upheld by many of those at the meeting (Mission Holders, SO and GO crew). CMO Int, perhaps correctly, viewed this as a mutiny." [NOTE: THIS IS *NOT* THE "SAN FRANCISCO" MISSION HOLDERS CONFERENCE WHERE SPURLOCK AND HELLER SPEAK AND ALL THE DECLARES HAPPEN AND ALL THE CORPORATE CHANGES ARE ANNOUNCED. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL A YEAR LATER IN DECEMBER 1982.]

FCO 6500-2 - 2 -

As evidenced by the following:

1. In November 1981, Bill authorized Alan Walters (since declared suppressive) to hold the first Mission Holders Conference at Flag. At this November meeting, squirrel "group engram running" was done, during which a great deal of natter and entheta was aired. The terminals involved in alleged arbitraries were not present, so there was no way for arbitraries to be traced to source, or that all data on a situation could be brought to light. The correct way to handle upsets is contained in HCO PL 2 April 1965 URGENT, URGENT, URGENT, FALSE REPORTS.

2. Per HCO PL 11 Dec 80RA II THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTER- NATIONAL:

"The Executive Director International is senior to the Flag International Management Org (IMO). His immediate junior is the Commanding Officer (CO) IMO.

"In the carrying out of his duties, the Exec Dir Int would normally address his directives to the Flag Management Committee (FMC) or the CO IMO."

Per the above PL, Bill was responsible for management and the IMO. When the Mission Holders and field terminals came to Flag, Bill refused the help offered by the Command- ing Officer IMO (Class XII, OEC/FEBC, DSEC, Sea Org Officer) and Deputy Commanding Officer for Production. He told these officers that he personally did not trust them, which in fact denied them the right to wear their hats. He stated that the CO IMO and staff did not understand the field, yet he took no actions to remedy this alleged situation. He thus alienated himself from the International Management Org.

3. Prior to the Second Mission Holders' Meeting, Bill was given full rein to wear his hat by CMO Int. Hats were turned over to the IMO execs and they were told to run with it. Bill was told that he had the full back-up of CMO and WDC on expansion plans to get all Scientologists working together as a team, and was told to relay to the Mission Holders that CMO and WDC supported them. He was given the opportunity to sort out any beefs or unworkable lines, and refused to. At the Second Mission Holders' Meeting, Bill failed to communicate the above and withheld the data, and instead allowed the meeting to continue in the same manner as the first. The Special Board of Appeal had been set up and was handling any upsets, and the key outnesses the field had wanted handled were already under handling. Additionally, by his statements and actions at the conference, and his failure to communicate the true intentions of WDC and CMO Int, he widened the breach between the groups of Scientologists. At the meeting, Bill gave the impression that he was still trying to get his hat back and thus stirred up upset and discord. He misrepresented WDC's intentions. Bill also spread the generality that the whole of management was of the opinion that the the [sic] Mission Holders were a bunch of criminals. This of course is third party.

4. Following these meetings, a number of similar events were held in the field. Two orgs were severely disrupted. Four missions required extensive handling to ensure Scientology delivery continued in the area. The end result has been enturbulation in the field, serious distraction to getting

[new page]

FCO 6500-2 - 3 -

on with the job of Scientology, and considerable field, org and management efforts to correctly locate the specific sources of enturbulation, handle, and get back on with the job at hand.

5. Following his suspension from post, Bill blew Flag, and refused to return for his Comm Ev.

6. Bill Franks wrote a petition for Leave of Absence, con- taining entheta, data on his "disagreements" and reasons for disaffection as outlined above, which was shown to other terminals in violation of HCO PL LEAVING AND LEAVES.

This petition was then circulated at the Flag Land Base, resulting in enturbulation and distraction.

7. Bill Franks was in a position to handle the scene, and despite being urged to handle, he did not do so. He in fact took actions which inflamed the scene further (blowing, spreading disaffection, LOA petition and disclosure, telling one person that a senior executive had turned and gone after him, and that he did not intend to return for Comm Ev or B of I).

8. Bill helped to create an enturbulative scene by his mis- leading impressions and failure to communicate the true position of senior bodies and individuals. Bill has chosen not to help clean up the scene, when he was in the position to do so though given ample opportunities to do so including invitations to avail himself of standard, per policy, Church justice procedure.

Due to the above, and the destructive results of his ac- tions, inactions and statements, Bill Franks is declared a Suppressive Person. Should Bill come to his senses and wish to recant, he is to apply steps A-E of HCO OL 16 May 80 II ETHICS, SUPPRESSIVE ACTS, SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS. Should he fail to apply these steps he will be expelled from the Church of Scientology and debarred from Advanced Courses. Should he claim the label to be false, he may request a Committee of Evidence, per the above referenced policy letter, which states:

"... Should the person or group claim the label to be false, he, she or they may request a Committee of Evidence ..."

His only terminal is the International Justice Chief.

Jim,

I don't blame you from being confused -- it's very confusing; and I may have it wrong too -- but my reading is that Franks is not being called in the wrongful death case, he is being called during this current marathon omnibus hearing to throw out the wrongful death case before it gets started. He would be to testify as to the Scientology principles and methods involved in this no-holds-barred attack on Dandar et al. The fact that Scientology has insulted the judge and the judicial process by trying to say that their 'agreement' with Franks supersedes the will of the Court is just gravy;

although sweet gravy indeed.

Bill Franks, the church's former international executive director, said that he once lived in a crowded garage for seven months while assigned to the RPF.

"We were indoctrinated on a continuous, daily basis that we were suppressive people, that we were anti-social people, that we were criminals," said Franks, who had a falling out with the church in the early 1980s. He was accused by senior Scientologists of engineering a coup to wrest control of the church from them.

"Let me interject here that I never though Bill Franks was to blame for what I saw happening at LA Org. I didn't understand the hierarchy of Scientology in those days, but Bill Franks seemed as much a victim as the rest of us, trying to stay alive in that hell-hole they called LA Org Day.

Bill Franks, one-time ED International, did this at ASHO Day. He was able to get the "GI" up in "highest ever" ranges

by threatening that if SO staff didn't meet their statistical quotas they would be sent to the RPF.

This "stat-push" by blunt threats of punishment which were unmistakable was not without horrible consequences. One such result of this coercive method can be illustrated by the following true story.

The CMO sent a mission to ASHO with Bill Franks as the Mission I/C. The "GI" had been in a very low "non-viable"

range of approximately $40,000 per week during 1979. By December 1979, with Bill Franks running the show, the "GI"

acheived "highest ever" range. Even over Christmas week, the "GI" was $120,000. Hubbard even sent a telex to the other orgs saying "Look at what ASHO D did. What wrong with you other orgs that your GI is down? ASHO Day has proved that there are no valid reasons why stats can't be gotten up. Get cracking!"

The following people, he personally knows, have had psychotic episodes while on auditing. Some of the people on the following list are still in the Sea Organization.

[.....] BILL FRANKS [.....] In August of '81, there was an Obs mission sent to World Wide and the real data on the G.O. and its criminal activity was uncovered. I have data on that from Jeff Shervell who was a G.O. terminal and is now on a special project for LRH. Somebody started to blow the whistle and said this is what really goes on. As a result of this, David Miscavige, Bill Franks, John Horwich and others (I believe, Norman Starkey, but those 3 for sure) mounted missions to Saint Hill and to L. A. and went in and removed Mary Sue Hubbard and Jane Kember from post and took over the G.O. And John Horwich was with the group that removed Mary Sue.

After several days of these marathon group gropes, the consensus was formed to put forward a Directive over Bill Franks' signature, ordering WDC to come to CW and reveal who they were and from whence they derived their authority.

They arrived, all right.

On August 26th, Bill Franks as ED Int issued SOED 1789 "Management Change" placing the Controller, and thusly the entire GO, below himself on the Org Board. Subsequently, Mary Sue was removed by David Miscavige. Jane Kember briefly took control of the LA GO but was dissuaded, and left her post.

About this time senior GO terminals were taken to Gilman, and put on a mest-work program. Whilst there, they were referred to as the "crims" by CMO crew.

In early November 1981, a small Mission Holders Conference was called by Bill Franks at Flag.

The meeting was conducted by Jens Bogvad of CMO and the Acting Controller, Gordon Cook. Data had come to light that the GO had had a program called "Control of US Missions", issued as a Guardian Order in 1975. This program was put forward in case the US Internal Revenue Services won their tax cases against the Church, and thusly managed to close down the Church Orgs. The Missions were to immediately become Orgs in a new network.

To achieve this end, several top mission holders (the Kemps and Bent Corydon, for example) had been declared. The Mission Holders Conference was held to handle these false declares.

"It was Bill Franks walking up and down across the street from the Fort Harrison with a sign 'SCIENOS STOLE MY CHURCH!' after he escaped from being held prisoner in Hemet by the poodle, that made a huge impression on me when I was at Flag." - Dennis Erlich
