From: ARIANE JACKSON <106231.2751@compuserve.com>
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 1996 23:28:36 -0400
This article contains excerpts from the diary of my ex-husband, ALBERT JAQUIER. These entries are from 1994, the last year of his life. He died on Dec 11, 1994. He was 59 years old when he wrote these entries. He had completed OT7, which promises to make a person "Cause over life", he had been in the Scientology cult for 14 years, and had given his fortune of several million dollars. He had a heart condition, was physically incapable of working, and had had a stroke at the end of 1992.

Shortly before his death he told me he did not think he would live very long and made me promise I would make his experiences publicly known so that others would not have to suffer in the same way. The original entries are in French, which I have translated. My explanations of his shorthand, and identification of the names involved, are in parentheses.

While reading this it should be borne in mind that the picture here is of a man who had been pushed way beyond the limits of what anyone should be asked to suffer. It would be a great disservice to his memory if I did not indicate that, prior to losing his health, Albert had worked, and he routinely worked 16 and 18 hour days, seven days a week. That was how he had gotten from being a junkyard laborer to a self-made millionaire pre-Scientology. If he had been physically capable of working he would have tried to recover from or prevent his financial ruin. He was a warm-hearted and generous man, the proof is he LOANED over $1,000,000 to 11 Scientologists, without collateral, on the recommendations of other Scientologists and, at the time of his death, only one of them had repaid him.

The Scientologists who did not repay Albert, and the amounts he calculated they owed as of May 1994, are as follows:- Amount owed as of May '94 CHRISTIAN BOSIGER OT8 $33,940 JODY DARLING OT7,PATRON MERITORIOUS $304,564 CHRISTIAN DELALEZE, SEA ORG MEMBER $12,120 ? LABRE, CLEAR $9,131 ? PESCE $731 ? PICHON, CLEAR $41,587 CLAUDE-ANDRE QUENNOZ, CLEAR $32,859 RENALD RACINE, ON OT7 $8,891 HANS-KASPAR RHYNER, OT5, PATRON MERITORIOUS $344,028 GIGI TROGLIO, OT7 $46,062 (Here are his diary entries).

Dec 27, 1993, The evening of the 25th,Party organised by Michele (daughter of Albert by his 1st wife) Ariane (me) and Alex (my husband), Cyril (Albert's son by his second marriage, a Scientologist who STOLE almost all of the estate of Albert after his death) and Alex(another Alex, a friend of Cyril).

A withhold is anything the person is withholding because he fears the consequences of its being divulged. It can be an overt, or just something embarassing. A common Scientology action is to "write O/Ws", IN FULL DETAIL, and give them to the Ethics Officer and Case Supervisor, who take appropriate actions).

Oct 19 Very tired, sick, pain to the tips of my fingers.

Oct 20 Concerning Ariane, I will not do what I have done to her, I will handle with a lot of ARC (Affinity, Reality and Communication. When Albert and I divorced I was told by the Ethics Officer to give Albert custody of Michael. Later Albert became more and more convinced that I was bad for Michael and refused to allow me ANY contact with Michael for a period of 7 months. When I called, Albert had someone else tell me on the phone that I had to get permission from the Ethics Officer to see my son. This is the practice called "disconnection" advocated by Scientology. My son was THREE years old at the time).

Nov 8 Sad week, not happy, stuck.

Nov 11 Met Valeska (my teenage daughter who is staff in Clearwater), my dad, thought it was he who was calling me (he thought Valeska was his father who had died when he was four). Ooh la la, Valeska. Saw Alain, no product.

Nov 14-15 Cyril is always stopping, very bad manager. Loide (a Scientologist) does not exchange, just asks for car, bike, etc.

Nov 16 Moved from Calumet (another house he had to sell) to Greenwood (small, one bedroom appartment), cried with pain, dizzy, tired, oppression.

Nov 17 Baer proposes a repayment, I sign the papers for that.

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE AND, IN THAT WAY, ALBERT WILL NOT HAVE SUFFERED AND DIED IN VAIN. SOME GOOD CAN MAYBE COME OUT OF IT AND OTHERS CAN BE SAVED FROM A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.

IN MEMORIAM ALBERT JAQUIER 1935---1994 THANK YOU, ALBERT.

Ariane, Michael and Alex.

Go Back
