For folks who are not familiar with what Keith Henson is in part
protesting, the following is a description of the cult compound Kenson
pickets. Note that according to the below Declaration, the cult
compound is armed with machine guns, bombs, razor wire, motion
detectors, ground sensors, and other devices. Keith Henson puts his
very life on the line every time he goes to Hemet to protest
Scientology's crimes and human rights abuses. In my opinion, the crime
syndicate will one day apply "the final solution" against Keith
Henson, and shoot him in the head and dump his body in the desert or a
lime pit somewhere--- let's hope I am wrong.
The Declaration below gives details on what life is like at the cult
compound Henson has chosen to protest: slave labor; thought reform
("brainwashing"); torture; debasement, physical and emotional abuse,
and humiliation; the prisonment of Scientologists who wish to flee;
starvation, murder, and suicide.

STEVEN FISH AND UWE GEERTZ,
Defendants.
DECLARATION OF ANDRE TABAYOYON
I, ANDRE TABAYOYON, declare as follows:
INTRODUCTION
1. I am over the age of 18 years.
2. I have been retained as an expert consultant and expert witness
by Dr. Geertz's counsel in the case captioned Church cf Scientology
International v. Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz, No. CV 91-6426-HLH
(Tx) currently pending in the United States District Court,
Central District of California. The statements herein are of
my own personal knowledge or reasonably based on information
and belief, and if called upon as a witness, I can testify competently
thereto.
3. This declaration is submitted in support of defendant Dr.
Uwe Geertz's motion for costs, attorneys' fees and sanctions.
4. In preparation for this declaration, inter alia, read the
declarations submitted by David Miscavige ("Miscavige") , Marc
Yeager, Ray Mithoff, Guillaume LeServe and Norman Starkey in
an effort to persuade this Court that CSI has complied with
the orders of the Magistrate Judge and this Court to attend
depositions.
5. Since being designated as an expert witness herein, I have
become aware of the presence of myself being under surveillance.
On a trip to Arizona I was followed by a van and a car. In
Mesa, Arizona I was followed to breakfast and the person was
even aware that we knew he was watching us. While in Newport
Beach we were followed to and from Mr. Berry's office daily.
I am currently in my home and there is a blue late model pontiac
waiting to follow me wherever I go.
PERSONAL SCIENTOLOGY BACKGROUND
6. Before I became a Scientologist, I enlisted in the United
States Marine Corps. I served one tour of duty in Vietnam.
I was in the infantry and assigned as a scout to secure sites,
often behind enemy lines, from which Marine snipers would eliminate
targets using specially constructed sniper rifles. It was also
my responsibility to get the highly trained and therefore very
valuable snipers back safely to allied lines. Because of the
high likelihood that I would be operating for extended periods
of time behind enemy lines, I received escape and evasion training
both in the Philippines and in Vietnam. In addition to escape
and evasion training, I also received instruction on how to
resist anticipated brainwashing and coercive persuasion techniques
likely to be employed if I was captured alive. Because of the
covert nature of the operations to which I was assigned, I was
also trained how even the most innocent utensils could be used
to end my own life and thereby prevent any captors from extracting
information that might compromise my mission or my country.
My missions required that I kill a number of Vietnamese, including
some at close range, some of whom died in my arms. These events
left a lasting and negative impression on me.
7. After returning from Vietnam, I was plagued by nightmares
and other disabling memories of my experiences as a front line
combat fighter. When I returned post traumatic stress syndrome
was not well understood. The military and veteran's hospitals
provided almost no assistance to me or a number of my companions
who suffered from similar problems. I was determined not to
descend into the depths of degradation that followed from the
abuse of narcotics and other drugs, whether legal or illegal.
8. While I was in this unsettled state, I was recruited into
Scientology. The attraction was, in part, the promise that
Scientology would provide me with the means to deal with these
disturbing memories and nightmares.
9. Various forms of coercive persuasion are used in all areas
of Scientology. A working term in Scientology is registration
("reg") cycle. During a reg cycle, parishioners are coercively
persuaded to do something which a senior Scientologist believes
will be good for Scientology. In my 21 years of membership
in Scientology, I personally observed how auditors and others
identify a person's "hot button." I saw how auditors used many
individual's hot buttons in the various types of interviews
(ethics, chaplin, registration, counseling, etc.) to coerce
the parishioner into donating money, doing the next service,
joining the Sea Org, going to the RPF and agreeing to forego
spending time with their children and families in order to devote
greater time and effort to the good of Scientology.
10. After joining Scientology, I became a member of the Sea
Organization ("Sea Org"). A Hubbard Communications Office policy
letter defines the Sea Org as: "The elite religious fellowship
within the Church of scientology. The Sea Org is not incorporated
and is not part of any corporation. Its membership is involved
in Churn management and the delivery of the higher level services
of the Church." Finance Series 11R. Exhibit A.
11. The indoctrination I received in the Sea Organization was
extensive. It fully acquainted me with the coercive methods
that Scientology uses on its staff and public. My training
included the following courses which had the content as indicated
below:
(a) FLAG EXECUTIVE BRIEFING COURSE - All the policy ever written
by Hubbard about the running, debugging, and if needed, the
creation of a complete organization using thought reform ideas
and practices in conjunction with coercive persuasion on the
staff and public.
(b) ORG EXECUTIVE COURSE - All the policy ever written by Hubbard
about the running, debugging, and if needed, the creation of
a complete organization using thought reform ideas and practices
in conjunction with coercive persuasion on the staff and public.
(c) SEA ORG OFFICER TRAINING - This course covered all of the
Flag Orders, Flag Ship Orders, Central Bureau Orders, mission
school tech and included all of the policy written by Hubbard
about creating, running and debugging a complete Scientology
organization using thought reform concepts and practices in
conjunction with coercive persuasion on both staff and public
Scientologists.
(d) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE INDOCTRINATION TRAINING -
(e) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE SECTION OFFICER HAT -
(f) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE MASTER AT ARMS HAT - I learned
in the above course(s) how to use thought reform processes to
make persons amenable to persuasion.
(g) REHABILITATION PROTECT FORCE TECH IN CHARGE HAT - I learned
how to administer various thought, ideological and social reform
procedures to reorient now compliant subjects of thought reform-
to accept Scientology goals as articulated by Hubbard and/or
Miscavige.
(h) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE QUAL IN CHARGE HAT - This training
taught me how to recognize misapplication of thought, ideological
and social reform procedures so as to maximize the effect that
coercive persuasion had on subjects under my supervision.
(i) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE CASE SUPERVISOR TRAINING -
I was taught how to use thought reform procedures to change
the most fundamental aspects of a subject's personality and
exact a commitment from the subject to further Scientology's
goal of clearing planet Earth.
(j) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE AUDITOR TRAINING - I learned
how to use thought reform to coerce subjects into confessing
their crimes and sins against Scientology as a step towards
their "rehabilitation" as dedicated Scientologists.
(k) ROLL BACK TRAINING - I received training on how to trace
rumors, statements of disaffection or anti-Scientology thought
back to its source so that it could be obliterated and sources
of disaffection eliminated.
(l) BLACK PR RUNDOWN TRAINING - This training was to teach you
how to find out who is spreading negative information and to
fully handle him with coercive mind practices. I learned how
to ferret out negative information about Scientology; once found
out, those who are guilty become targets for internal "Fair
Game" tactics such as the RPF's RPF. RPF or general mental abuse.
(m) TRUTH RUNDOWN TRAINING - I learned how to use thought reform
to correct improper conduct by persons spreading rumors or black
PR about Scientology.
(n) INTROSPECTION TRAINING - I learned Scientological techniques
to reach persons who had suffered psychotic breaks during the
thought reform process. Persons in this condition were not
capable of relating to the real world. For the most part,
introspection
training focused on limiting the stimuli to which the victims
were exposed with the hope that over time they would recover.
(o) FALSE PURPOSE RUNDOWN TRAINING - These are a whole series
of thought reform practices used to change people's way of thinking.
I learned how to supervise auditors reforming thoughts of people,
while on the RPF.
(p) FALSE DATA STRIPPING TRAINING - This is a technique to ferret
out and remove out tech (Non-orthodox Scientology) ideas and
to replace the out tech ideas with Hubbard's information.
(q) EDUCATION PROCESS KTL -This is a major training ordeal where
the person is completely re indoctrinated in the basic grammar
and use of the English language to communicate Scientological
principles concisely and correctly.
(r) TOO GRUESOME TRAINING - This training teaches a supervisor
how to instill complete terror and abject fear in subordinates
so that the subordinates will comply with the supervisor's orders
without question. I have been a member of various Churches of
Scientology for 21 years from 1971 to 1992. During this time,
I received extensive and intensive training as a Scientologist.
13. I was also a member of the Sea Organization ("Sea Org")
, which I joined in 1972. The Sea Org is a fraternal organization
of Scientologists zealously dedicated to the protection and
advancement of Scientology and its leaders. Sea Org members
are expected to get their assignments completed regardless of
the obstacles. The staff of CSI, RTC and all Scientology
organizations
above Class IV Orgs are Sea Org members.
14. Hubbard established the Sea Org as an international solution
to periodic insolvencies which had afflicted various Scientology
organizations during the first decades of Scientology's existence.
15. Within Scientology, Sea Org members have unquestioned authority
over the affairs of Scientology organizations. This authority
is exercised in a number of ways. First, Sea Org members can
be sent into any Scientology Organization, or business owned
by a Scientologist, organization or a mission. Historically,
Guardian Office Missions and Sea Org Missions were one and the
same. When Sea Org members are on a mission, they have full
ethics powers to take whatever steps are necessary for the greater
good of Scientology. CMO Int Messengers (commodores messenger
organization International Messengers) are always on Mission
so they had full authority to issue whatever orders they deem
appropriate. CMO Int Messengers had the full authority of Hubbard
when he was alive. Hubbard was then Commodore of the Sea Org.
Now they have the full authority of Miscavige.
16. The Sea Organization is to Scientology what the Communist
Party was to Soviet Russia and the Gestapo was to Nazi Germany.
Indeed, Sea Org members were not allowed to read communist
doctrines, or magazines and books about mind control and thought
reform because of the similarity to the Sea Org life that these
documents present.
17. I signed the standard Sea Org contract requiring me to
serve the Sea Org for one billion years. This I would do by
serving the Sea Org in every one of my future lives with 21
year vacations at the commencement of each life, so that the
contract would not be void for incapacity due to youthfulness
or infancy.
18. As a Sea Org member, I received thousands of hours of training
in basic Sea Org policy. In 1977 I was assigned to the Rehabilitation
Project Force for 18 months. In 1980 I was assigned to the
RPF for another 2 1/2 years. In 1987 I was again assigned to
the RPF for another 18 months. Accordingly, I spent approx.
six years in total on the RPF. During these six years I also
spent time --19 full days-- on the RPF's RPF. The RPF's RPF
is designed to totally destroy any individual determinism to
not want to do the RPF. RPF is a totally involuntary type gulag
or concentration camp. In order to get out, and stay out, you
must prove that you have altered the ideals, morals, social
and emotional and attitudinal values of another member of the
RPF of a long duration as evidenced by the physical actions
and motions of the person so altered. One must also prepare
written evidence in the form of success stories of how wonderful
and voluntary the RPF was. During my six years in the RPF, I
spent five hours a day studying and receiving instruction in
Scientological matters. During the fifteen years I spent with
the Sea Org, when I was not on RPF, I spent two and a half hours
a day studying and receiving instruction in Scientological matters.
Applying simple math, I estimate conservatively that I received
over 28,000 hours of Scientology study and Scientology instruction.
My exposure to Scientology thought reform processes was enhanced
by other processes to which all Sea Org members are exposed.
These included: (1) indoctrination at daily musters; (2) briefings;
(3) missions; (4) Scientology justice actions; (5) crusades;
(6) security or sec checking; and (7) auditing. Auditing is
the central practice of Scientology. It involves the E Meter
which is a simple electrogalvanometer similar to, but not the
same as, a lie detector. One holds two tin cans attached to
the E meter and goes into a hypnotic state at the command of
the auditor. These hypnotic states include those called reverie
and revivification.
19. I also studied and received instruction about Scientology
Policy, and Sea Org policy called Flag Orders. Information
which appeared in green printing on white paper and is called
Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letters ("HCO PLs"). I
also studied and received instruction about Scientology Technical
Policy. This information appeared in red printing on white
paper and is called Hubbard Communications Office Bulletins
("HCOBs.") I also spent hundreds of hours listening to lectures
taped by Hubbard. These tapes included the Flag Executive Briefing
Course tapes, the OEC tapes, the Human Evaluation tapes and
the Establishment Officer tapes to name a few.
20. During my 21 years as a Scientologist, I also had many
occasions to see how these Scientology policies were applied
in many different contexts. The Hubbard Technology, often called
Tech, was used to supposedly help people. It was also used
coercively to control the behavior of people and to punish them
for real or imagined transgressions against Scientology.
21. During my tenure with the Sea Org, I held many posts.
The various posts or positions I held during my association
with Scientology included:
a. Commanding Officer, Master at Arms; b. Missionary Unit, Commanding
Officer; C. Executive Director, Portland Crusade; d. D/Executive
Director, Los Angeles Crusade; e. L. Ron Hubbard's Butler; f.
Executive Establishment Officer; g. RPF Bosun WUS, Childrens
RPF Bosun h. LRH Spaces Set Up Mission 2nd; i. LRH Studio Construction

n. Sea Org Ethics Officer; 0. Sea Org Officer; P. Missionary;
q. Security Mission In Charge; r. Berthing Security Watch, Hemet
(Rover); S. RPF Tech In Charge; t. RPF Case Supervisor; U. RPF
Section Leader; V. RPF Member; W. RPF Qualifications In Charge;
and X. Estates Project Force Mission In Charge.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AT HEMET BASE
While I was on various posts at Gold, near Hemet California,
I was also responsible for the following construction projects.
a. Constructing a full scale replica of a clipper ship complete
with sauna and jacuzzi. This was in the desert; b. Construction
of kitchens and dining facilities in all the office facilities
at the Hemet base; c. A 20 Or 48 microphone battery lecture
recording room; d. An orchestra size music recording studio;
e. A film studio; f. A complete 32 seat theater; g. A complete

x 350' three story manufacturing facility; p. A dining facility
that could accommodate 1,100 people for a minimum of three sittings
per day; q. A 200' x 500' construction and maintenance facility
which houses the planning and buildings areas; r. A complete

gallon lake. ah. A tennis court for Celebs and Miscavige ai.
Berthing facility for children at the Happy valley base. aj.
A large well for Happy Valley facility.
23. In these various Scientology posts, I observed how the
inner most parts of Scientology worked. I observed, participated
in and was victimized by coercive and manipulative thought control
processes designed to shape the thinking of the individuals
upon whom these procedures were imposed. These practices are
particularly prevalent in the Rehabilitation Project Force ("RPF")
, a brainwashing and penal operation very similar to what I
had been trained to expect from the Viet Cong, North Vietnamese
and Red Chinese during my tour of duty in Vietnam.
24. I knew L. Ron Hubbard ("Hubbard") personally. I worked
directly for Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology belief
system. Hubbard was Miscavige's predecessor as head of Scientology.
25. I worked personally with Hubbard on the ship called the
Apollo, from 1971-73. I personally observed Hubbard running
all aspects of Scientology and Sea Org and Guardian Office ("GO")
networks. Indeed, at the time I believed Hubbard has saved
my life. I had been "overboarded" or thrown aboard. Hubbard
then ordered that I be pulled out. Thereafter I believed Hubbard
had saved my life and I became very dedicated to both him and
Scientology. I served as both steward and butler for Hubbard.
Accordingly, I was often alone with him -- even when he was
self injecting himself in the arm with a needle and solution.
This he did frequently. I would also lay out the pills he
took from 10 different numbered bottles.
26. I know Miscavige. I have also worked directly for him
for many years. Miscavige is a second generation Scientologist.
He was born into Scientology, a high school drop out and became
one of Hubbard's Commodores Messengers as a teenager. In this
capacity, I have been informed and believe that he was responsible
for many multi-million dollar illegal international currency
transfers. He did this as an innocent looking young courier.
Miscavige has never known of a life outside of Scientology.
'He is as close to a 'Rondroid' (L.R. Hubbard droid) as it
is possible to be. He rules Scientology like David Koresh ruled
Waco and the Branch Davidians. He endorses Hubbard's goal of
Scientology taking over the entire planet including all heads
of government and news media. See Exhibit____. Hubbard said
"take all of the people, put them in Scientology and have them
run under the processes of Scientology." Hubbard's plan is
for Scientology to interface with planet earth for one person
to be in charge and for the whole planet to be under a Scientology
seven Division org board.
27. Miscavige is now the 'ecclesiastical' head of Scientology.
He is commander of the Scientology Sea Organization ("Sea Org").
He is also Chairman of The Board ("COB") of the Religious Technology
Center ("RTC").
SCIENTOLOGY IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS
28. In 1991 I had to prepare the base so that it could be defended
against the possibility of being taken over by the authorities
in a time of crisis. There are approx. 750 people at the base.
I was in charge of a project designing the base security system,
the perimeter fence, the ultra razor barriers, the lighting
of the perimeter fence, the electronic monitors, the concealed
microphones, the ground sensors, the motion sensors and hidden
cameras which were installed and all over the area -- even outside
the base.
29. Church monies were used to purchase semi-automatic assault
rifles (HK 91 assault rifles capable of firing 300-350 rounds
of ammunition a minute, 45 caliber pistols, .380 automatic weapons
and twelve gauge shotguns were stockpiled. These weapons were
not registered. Church monies were also used to buy the ammunition.
30. Church monies were also used to purchase a large amount
of pounds of gunpowder for the construction of various types
of explosive devices to be used in the defense of the base.
31. The motorcycle guards were trained to carry loaded cocked
45 caliber pistols. The eagle scout, mounted high above the
base, was trained to carry a high powered rifle with a telescopic
scope. There is also a 1,000 millimeter telescope up with 'eagle'.
32. I developed three classifications of intruder and established
the level of deadly force to use for each. In addition to firearms,
the guards were taught how to effectively wield little batons.
The basic things like striking to the center of the heart,
the center of the solar plex and then to the side of the head,
etc.
33. At church expense, I trained the security guards and other
base personnel in the use of these weapons and explosives.
I also trained them in the close quarter use of fatal force.
We built a combat range for training purposes and I instructed
Scientologists on various ways of shooting people. I also trained
them in night vision and ambush techniques. We used a ravine
that was a natural round shield so the noise would not cause
any noisy inquiries.
DELIBERATE MISUSE OF THE HUBBARD TECH TO HARM SCIENTOLOGISTS
WHO HAVE FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR WITH MISCAVIGE: BLACK DIANETICS
REVERSE PROCESSING AND STEVEN FISHMAN.
34. During the more than two decades of experience I had in
Scientology, I observed on many occasions the Hubbard Tech being
used as intended to assist persons to come to grips with themselves
and events, persons and things around them. However, I also
observed the Hubbard Tech being deliberately misused to punish
Scientologists who were out of favor with either Hubbard or
Miscavige. When the Hubbard Tech is deliberately misused to
cause harm, the practice is called Black Dianetics or Reverse
Processing. It is my opinion that Fishman was the victim of
Black Dianetics and was only saved, by the intervention of Dr.
Geertz, from an imminent suicidal incident. The basis of my
opinion in this regard is as follows:
(a) Fishman was not a Scientology minister or minister in training
yet he was sold E Meters;
(b) Fishman was an illegal p.c. (preclear) because of his past
psychiatric counselling;
(c) Fishman was sold Scientology materials such as the whole
track tapes, the Philadelphia tapes, the history of man book,
auditing materials and how to use the E Meter book.
This was the application of Black Dianetics because:
(a) Fishman was not properly trained in the use of the E meter;
(b) My experience as an RPF case supervisor in handling cases
such as Fishman leads me to the opinion that Fishman was being
encouraged to use the tech on himself rather than under the
supervision of supervisors and auditors. This would, in MY
opinion, only lead to disastrous and/or suicidal consequences.
Indeed, L. Ron Hubbard in 'Some Notes on Black Dianetics' states
"a person can drive himself mad on Dianetics without any trouble"
... "with Black Dianetics you could tailor make any kind of
insanity you want to. The person might not manifest this the
next day, maybe not for thirty days. Maybe three months later
he is walking down the street and feeling a little bit tired
when somebody honks just right or something of the sort, all
of a sudden he goes crazy and there he is -- insane! It's a
wonderfully smooth way of committing murder." Emphasis added.
Exhibit.
35. My observations were direct and personal. I am a highly
trained RPF auditor. When I had responsibilities for overseeing
how the Scientology auditing technology is applied to cases
of Scientologists assigned to the RPF, I received orders directly
from Miscavige, Marc Yeager, Ray Mithoff, Sandi Wilhere and
Hansuli Stalli, and others, to misuse the Hubbard Tech to create
extreme mental and emotional distress and insanity in persons
I was instructed to 'security or sec check'. We used the Hubbard
Tech, including security checking on the E-Meter, in conjunction
with well used coercive mind control techniques of sleep deprivation,
starvation, dehydration and denial of decent accommodations.
As an example of the appalling conditions to which RPFers are
sometimes exposed, on one occasion when I was on RPF, my sleeping
facility was a slab inside the vault of the morgue of the old
Cedars Sinai Hospital. While on the RPF at Gold, I also occupied
the chicken coop dormitory. This was an old chicken coop which
still smelled of chicken coop droppings. However, it was not
only RPFers who were deprived of adequate food and sleep. At
Gold, hundreds of Sea Org members would be deprived of adequate
sleep and put on a diet of rice and beans sometimes for six
weeks at a time-and their weekly pay of approximately S30.00
would be cut in half. This would be punishment for lower ethics
conditions such as poor production. However, when this occurred,
David Miscavige would still eat his bacon, eggs, sandwiches
and steak dinners.
36. The response of human beings to these conditions is somewhat
predictable. I saw many people undergo psychotic breaks. By
psychotic breaks I mean being reduced to incoherent babbling,
stripping off clothes, crawling around on the ground, banging
heads, limbs and other body parts against furniture and walls,
barking, losing all sense of one's identity and intense and
persistent suicidal ideation. This is what Scientology calls
the PTS type III phenomena. There is a policy which describes
this. Exh O. I have seen many PTS type III cases. It is my
opinion that Fishman has been deliberately driven PTS type III
by Black Dianetics and/or reverse processing.
37. I participated in deliberately inflicting this process
on others in Scientology. I was a Case Supervisor on the RPF.
This means that I saw the auditing folders of all the persons
assigned to the RPF while I had this responsibility. I saw
that the Tech was regularly misapplied for harmful purposes.
The case notes prepared by auditors during auditing sessions
were altered or deleted by senior executives. This prevented
a subsequent auditor from properly assessing and handling the
individual. It is like flying blind without instruments. The
potential for doing something seriously harmful is therefore
greatly enhanced.
38. I was advised by Richard Aznaran, Sinar Parman and Annie
Breeder that Hubbard was an unhandled PTS III when he died.
According to Sinar Parman, Hubbard was a psychopathic insane
person screaming about BT's and clusters at the top of his lungs.
39. I was also ordered to audit a number of persons, including
Stacy Young, while they were on the RPF. The files I was provided
relating to Stacy showed that I would be auditing a stable,
well adjusted person. When Stacy was led into the auditing
room, I was confronted with a disheveled, irrational and incoherent
person whom I hardly recognized. Stacy spent the first half
hour or so of the session babbling and crying hysterically.
Her folder had obviously been altered to maximize the likelihood
that further auditing would harm her.
40. What I know from training and experience to be Black Dianetics
and reverse processing were also inflicted on me. I survived
the processing without experiencing a psychotic break. I believe
the extensive survival training I received as a Marine is allowed
me to escape the extreme degradation and self-degradation I
saw others experience.
SCIENTOLOGY RELATED MURDERS AND SUICIDES
41. I also observed a number of individuals go crazy when exposed
to the Hubbard Tech even absent malicious intent on the part
of the persons applying the Tech. For example, I saw John Colletto
go psychotic after he was exposed to the OT III level (Operating
thetan level III) materials. He got a pistol. In my presence,
he shot his wife in the head. She died instantly. Then John
ran a short distance before turning the pistol on himself and
committing suicide. Moreover, John Travolta's auditor told
me of two occasions on which John Travolta went into deep depression
after auditing and therefore suffered a psychotic break.
42. I personally observed a number of other Scientologists
go crazy and commit suicide as a result of the auditing processes.
Bob Shaffner and I were serving sentences on the RPF's RPF
together. Although inmates are not allowed to speak to each
other while on the RPF's RPF, Bob made it a point to tell me
two or three times daily that he was going to kill himself because
of what he experienced during RPF's RPF & OT III auditing.
One day we were working on dangerous machinery and Bob suddenly
thrust his finger into the machine which cut his finger off.
Scientology management was fully aware of Bob's condition.
He was placed on the risk of suicide list. Because he was
suicidal, his berthing quarters while in the RPF were limited
to first floor facilities. Whatever was done, if anything,
to help Bob failed. He successfully committed suicide several
years later.
43. I saw the Scientology thought reform procedures applied
to a large number of Scientologists who were placed on RPF or
the RPF's RPF. These procedures brought about long-lasting changes
in the attitudes, values, personalities and behaviors of the
subjects. Some of the victims I processed were Tom Ashworth,
Clarisse Brousseau, Betsy Byrne, Al Crevello, Steve Crevello,
Julie Fisher, Janadair Hockaday, Fred Houch, Annie Logan, Jim
Logan, Judy More, Toni Prybilsky, Tom Saeker, Johnny Schleshenger,
Homer Schomer, Jeff Wrothwiler, Stacy Young and many others.
44. I observed, participated in and was victimized by the use
of thought reform on RPF as a means to impose the "Fair Game"
law on dissident Scientologists. Despite claims to the contrary
Fair Game has never been, and will never be, cancelled. The
words Fair Game used in any issue is cancelled. However, the
actions of handling suppressives with trickery, lies, deceit
and even destruction have not been cancelled and are still being
used today.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CAUSE SUICIDE
45. I received instructions directly from Ray Mithoff to use
the Hubbard Tech of thought reform to drive Tom Ashworth to
a psychotic break. The express object of the exercise was to
drive Tom crazy and to commit suicide. Tom went PTS Type III
and attempted suicide. Later, Tom escaped from RPF and was
caught, brought back against his will, isolated with 2 guards
and more thought processes were used on him to calm him down
rather than have him kill himself.
46. I also saw and heard the Hubbard Tech of thought reform
used to drive Gary Epstein to a PTS Type III psychotic break
as punishment for his refusal to comply with orders he received
from the Wayne Marple mission.
47. I saw these same techniques used on persons who had not
violated any Scientology laws or requirements. The techniques
were used to compel persons to go up the Scientology Bridge
to total freedom. Advancing up the Bridge requires attending
courses and auditing or processing. Both the courses and auditing
becomes more expensive the further up the Bridge a Scientologist
goes. So, these thought reform techniques are callously employed
to generate ever increasing sums of income for Scientology.
USE OF ARMED GUARDS TO KEEP SCIENTOLOGISTS FROM LEAVING HEMET
BASE.
48. At various times while I was stationed at the Gold base
near Hemet, I was assigned to different security functions.
Persons assigned to the security details were in constant radio
contact with other security personnel. We watched persons who
were suspected of being disaffected with Scientology and Miscavige
closely (i.e. Vaughn Young and Terry Gamboa). We were required
to confirm that the suspects were under surveillance to our
seniors regularly. We also had an armed look- out, code-named
"Eagle," who was located so that he could watch over the entire
Hemet base and keep the occupants under surveillance with a
powerful telescope. When Miscavige wanted to give the persons
working at Hemet the impression that they were not being watched
and to test out his theories as to who was likely to blow their
post, we would be withdrawn from view and our surveillance
responsibilities turned over to "Eagle."
49. We also had well established and intensively drilled procedures
to follow if anyone appeared inclined to take unauthorized leave
from the Gold base. If disaffected members tried to leave in
a vehicle, it was security's job to get into the vehicle with
the subject. If they tried to leave on foot, we were trained
to follow them while remaining in radio contact with Gold base
near Hemet.
50. If it was determined that a disaffected member was trying
to leave, we were instructed to call in private investigators
who had been retained by Scientology lawyers to deal with these
problems. Once the private investigators were briefed, they
took command of the situation. The private investigators would
give us instructions. Once the private investigators were involved,
our role was limited to acting as the private investigators'
eyes and ears. We would be sent to places where the disaffected
members were likely to go. We would alert the private investigators
if we located the disaffected members. Once we located the
disaffected members, the private investigators took care of
the rest.
51. I was personally involved in efforts to retrieve Sinar
Parman, Jeff Walker and Julie Fisher. The efforts to retrieve
Sinar Parman and Julie Fisher were successful. We were unsuccessful
in our efforts to return Jeff Walker to the Gold base. As soon
as he was off the base he contacted the California Highway Patrol.
He informed the Highway Patrol that he did not want to return
to Hemet base. To get this point across to the Scientologists
at Hemet base, Jeff returned to the Hemet base with a Highway
Patrol escort he picked up his belongings and announced unequivocally
that he wanted to leave and that he would take all appropriate
action to preserve his freedom. He left the Hemet base under
escort from the Highway Patrol.
52. Over the years I was at Gold base, a significant number
of people at the base announced, or by their conduct indicated,
to me that they wanted to leave. Julie Fisher stated repeatedly
that she wanted to leave. She said that she did not want to
remain at Gold base. My instructions were to keep her on the
base. Mark Fisher, who was severely beaten by Miscavige, repeatedly
told Miscavige and others that he did not want to be at the
Hemet base. As Miscavige and others beat Mark in my presence,
Mark kept saying that his attackers could beat him all they
wanted but he still wanted to leave. Finally, Miscavige expressed
his contempt and disgust at Mark and left the guard house where
Mark was being held.
53. I also saw armed guards at the "berthing" (staff) quarters
at Gilman Hot Springs. The armed guards were stationed to prevent
staffers from leaving or "blowing" their posts during the night.
54. The function of the guards is not only to keep Scientologists
in but to keep "wogs" out. Wogs are non-Scientologists. In
1991 a process server tried to get onto the base. He was beaten
up and arrested by security guards who put him in handcuffs.
The Police arrived and took the handcuffs off him saying "you
guys can't do this, Man, you guys are getting carried away.
The process server later sued and the case was settled. The
security guard, Danny Dunnigan, was so confused about what his
senior told him to testify to that he perjured himself about
four times in the Courtroom.
55. I also have personal knowledge about the guarding of other
people being involuntarily detained by Gold Security, a division
of CSI, at the heavily fortified and armed Gilman Hot Springs
base (Gold) and at Happy Valley which is another Scientology
base 11 miles away.
THE INTERSTATE KIDNAPPING, IMPRISONMENT AND SECURITY CHECKING
OF ANNIE BROEKER
56. In addition, I have personal knowledge in connection with
the retrieval and return of persons who have tried to flee and
leave the Scientology organization. This includes the involuntary
detention of Annie Broeker. I learned that Annie blew her post
when Gold Security approached me to ask if I had seen her.
The security personnel asked me if I had seen Annie. They informed
me that she was not at her work assignment and not at her berthing.
Several days later, I asked what had happened with Annie.
Russ Andress told me not to ask about Annie. Later, I saw Annie
at Happy Valley. Persons who are believed to present an embarrassment
to Scientology are detained at Happy Valley. The inference
that Annie was being detained was underscored by the fact that
she was not on post and was not wearing her uniform. Furthermore,
when I saw here she was accompanied by the Director of Inspection
and Reports and the Master at Arms, who, at that time, was my
son, Casavius Tabayoyon. From my personal experience, persons
being kept under circumstances similar to those described above
are being watched and will be detained, if they try to leave.
At a briefing, Miscavige said that Marty Rathbun and another
person from his staff had to hire a plane to retrieve a staff
member who had fled (Annie Broeker). This briefing was in relation
to how bad we (Golden Era Crew) were doing our jobs. It is
significant, in my opinion that the recently filed declaration
of Marty Rathbun indicated that he has been out of the U.S.
jurisdiction since late last year.
SCIENTOLOGY SECURITY GUARDS ACT LIKE THE MILITARY POLICE
57. As added measure to the situation of the crew being in
Doubt, a security watch system was ordered into existence at
the berthing locations of the Hemet base. When the crew were
about to go home at night, the guards were to be at their positions
at the berthing areas. Berthing is where the staff or crew sleep
at Hemet and other Scientology premises. Berthing is similar
to bunking on a ship. I was put in charge of six of the security
guards. The shore story was that these guards were a neighborhood
watch to protect the staff when they went home, but in fact
the guards were there to prevent staff members from going to
Vons or a late-night restaurant. They were to insure that staff
members got off the bus and went directly to their berthing
and. went to bed. Shore stories were also introduced on the
Apollo. A shore story was a false story told to local port
authorities so they would not discover that we were Scientologists
and order us to leave the port.
58. Another duty of the "berthing" guards was to prevent staff
from "blowing", which is the Scientology term for someone who
leaves Scientology to become a member of the real world again.
If staff members did blow, we were to get in the vehicle with
them and detain them, and if we were stopped by the police,
the "shore story" was to be that the person was having mental
difficulties and we were going to assist them to get back home.
We were to make it look like we were trying to help them, not
hinder them. Another duty was to call the base when everyone
was secured and a full head count was done. As a watch in-charge
of the night berthing watch security guards, I was responsible
for roving the town of Hemet to look for staff who were not
in their berthing rooms when they were supposed to be. The
berthing guards are CSI employees. Miscavige personally issued
the berthing guard orders.
MISCAVIGE IS THE MANAGING AGENT OF CSI: INDEED HE IS A MANAGING
AGENT OF ALL SCIENTOLOGY ORGANIZATIONS.
59. I have personal knowledge that Miscavige issues oral and
written orders and instructions to Scientologists irrespective
of either ecclesiastical lines of authority or corporate lines
of is authority or demarcation. Miscavige uses this omnipotent
authority to exercise personal control over any and all Scientology
organizations whenever he elects to do so. I observed that
in running the various Scientology organizations, Miscavige
constantly crosses all corporate and ecclesiastical command
lines without regard to the fact that there are numerous Scientology
related corporations of which he is neither an employee, officer
nor director. He does not have to be to control any Scientology
organization. He is above all Scientology organizations as
the ecclesiastical head of Scientology, COB RTC and Commander
of the Sea Org. In this capacity, Miscavige acts as the managing
agent of each Scientology organization.
60. During my tenure at the Hemet base, Miscavige was always
the senior officer - over all Scientology organizations having
business at the base. While Hubbard was alive, Miscavige's
orders had the same effect as Hubbard's. Only Flag Orders issued
by Hubbard could supersede Miscavige's orders. Once Hubbard
died, there was no authority senior to Miscavige's.
61. I personally observed Miscavige take over this position
of ultimate power over all of Scientology after Hubbard died.
I observed Miscavige when he was COB RTC ordering into Golden
Era Studios ("Gold") , a CSI division, and ordering into the
Commodore's Messenger Organization International ("CMO Int"),
another CSI division planetary dissemination organization,
etc. Both of these Sea Org units are corporately part of CSI.
RTC, CMO Int and Gold are all located at a large compound outside
of Hemet, California. It is called Gold. As I learned, the
Scientology corporate structure was only for the benefit of
the outside "wog" world. It didn't have any bearing on how
Scientology operated.
62. When Hubbard was alive it was common knowledge and I also
observed it personally that he was in direct control, via Miscavige
and Pat Broeker, of CM0 Int and Gold, and the rest of Scientology.
After Hubbard died Miscavige ousted Pat Broeker and Vicki Aznaran,
who were then in control of Scientology. After that, it was
my experience that Miscavige had complete control over Scientology
just as Hubbard had when he was alive. Miscavige took over
Hubbard's place as managing agent of all Scientology organizations.
63. The following are several examples of the power Miscavige
has over Scientology regardless of corporate boundaries:
(a) I was on a project in 1983-84 when Hubbard was still alive
and he was planning to move to Gold properties at Hemet, so
we were renovating Hubbard's living and working quarters at
the Hemet compound so that he could live and work there. I
often spoke with Miscavige about progress on these projects
and received numerous orders on this project directly from him.
At that time Miscavige's corporate title was Chairman of the
Board of Author Services, Inc. ("COB ASI"). I was a staff
member of the Flag Operations Liaison Office Western United
States ("FOLO WUS") , a division of CSI. I was ordered to the
Hemet compound by Deputy Senior Messenger Janadair Swanson,
who was employed by CMO Int to work on CMO Int's project for
renovating Hubbard's house. Miscavige ordered me to be in charge
of the ceiling of the dining room in the house. Many living
and working quarters were being renovated and Miscavige was
overall in charge as Special Projects Operations ("Special Project
OPS"), which was what he was called inside Scientology organizations.
He would approve or reject the final product.
(b) Later in 1985 I undertook a project as a Golden Era Productions
employee (Golden Era is part of CSI) to construct Hubbard's
studio. I received many orders directly from Miscavige who
now claims never to have any authority with regard to CSI.
One order that is clear in my mind concerns the main shell of
the music studio. We had just completed the main shell, but
when Miscavige inspected it he decided it would be too small.
He ordered that it be re-engineered so it would be bigger.
This order was given to me verbally and in writing from Miscavige
via the Deputy Senior Messenger of the Household Unit. This
re-engineering cost CSI an additional $449,000.00 which came
from cash reserves of CSI located in the main Los Angeles branch
of the Sumitomo Bank.
(c) When a Portland, Oregon, jury awarded Julie Christofferson
$39 million in damages against the Church of Scientology of
California, Miscavige ordered that every available Scientologist
be sent to Portland to protest the Court's decision outside
the courthouse. This became known as the Portland Crusade for
Religious Freedom and and it involved tens of thousands of
Scientologists.
On one day I counted 12,000 people. On another day there were
11,000 people outside the courthouse. I was the Executive Director
of the Portland Crusade. I received direct orders from Miscavige
on what actions to take for the Crusade even though I was employed
by CSI, a non-profit corporation, and he was COB ASI, a for-profit
corporation. Miscavige was personally involved with the finances
for the crusade submissions to Miscavige were known as "writing
it up to Department 21". There were many other people who also
received direct orders from Miscavige, completely regardless
of to what Church of Scientology corporation they belonged.
This was battle. This was war. Eventually the desired effect
was achieved. Christofferson was bought off and gagged and
the documents sealed.
(d) Later, the judge declared a mistrial in the Christofferson
case. The Portland Crusade was over. Then I discovered that
the crusade had accumulated over $500,000 of debt. Miscavige
ordered a full inspection of the financial records. Once he
had confirmed that the records were in order, he ordered the
$500,000.00 debt paid off out of various Scientology organization
accounts.
(e) Once the Portland Crusade was over, I went back to building
Hubbard's studio. We completed the studio. At a special ceremony,
we received acceptance of our work by Miscavige and Hubbard.
This established that the project was completed.
(f) During the time of the construction of the Golden Era studio,
I read several written orders from Hubbard about the ongoing
renovations of his home and studio, as well as other aspects
of the daily operations of Gold, CMO Int and RTC. Miscavige
was directly responsible for the implementation of these orders.
(g) Miscavige also crosses corporate lines to berate and scream
intimidating obscenities and profanities at persons not of RTC.
Once I did not achieve my target and Miscavige came at me,
stood twelve inches from my face, and called me a "mother fucker"
and a "son of a bitch" for about 10 minutes. I've also been
at Sea Org musters where Wendell Reynolds shouted "You're all
a bunch of treasonous sons of bitches!"
64. I did many construction projects at the Hemet (Gilman Hot
Springs or Gold) compound for Gold, CMO Int and RTC, and in
every one of these projects, I received at least one order directly
from Miscavige on each particular project. On some projects,
I received daily visits from Miscavige. During each visit,
he issued several orders.
STEVEN FISHMAN
65. I recall meeting Steven Fishman during the L.A. Crusade
in 19-. Miscavige also ordered this operation. The LA Crusade
was also known as the Battle of L.A. The purpose was to assemble
so many may Scientologists outside the LA Superior Court during
the Wollershiem trial that the judge and jury would be intimidated.
There were also operations carried out to try and intimidate
Judge Swearinger and plaintiff's counsel Charles O'Reily. At
the LA Crusade, Fishman was with a woman by the name of Debbie
Truax. Debbie told me that Fishman was working on a confidential
project with her and the OSA staff (Office of Special Affairs).
My position was D/Executive Director (Deputy Executive Director)
for the L.A. crusade. My duties included overseeing to the
productions of the crusade. The executive director of the Battle
of L.A. was BilI Dendin. I was not able to help Debbie, Fishman
and OSA because I had other projects for which I was responsible.
So, our meeting was brief. During the LA Crusade, or Battle
of LA, I also saw Fishman at the second floor of the CMO PAC
building ("The Commodore's Messenger Organization Pacific Area
Command Building). We didn't speak to each other at that time.
66. About one year later, I was at a staff briefing, where
Wendal Reynolds was removed from his post for his condonement
of the Registration Cycle of Steven Fishman. Miscavige gave
the briefing about how Steven Fishman claimed he had been defrauded
because he had caught on to the fact that there would not be
any leather bound reel to reel tape, so various Scientology
organizations would now be forced to make refunds of many tens
of thousands of dollars. This was a major upset or flap because
refunding money to people is so contrary to Scientology principles
that persons who have to refund money are severely disciplined.
The briefing focused on the demotion of Reynolds and others
who failed to convince Mr. Fishman to leave the money with
Scientology.
THE SALE OF E METERS TO STEVE FISHMAN
67. While I was at the Hemet base, I became aware that Golden
Era Productions had sold Steven Fishman one or more E-Meters
despite the fact that Scientology records did not show that
Fishman was qualified to purchase or use the E-meter. Records
did not show that he was trained as an auditor or as a Scientology
minister. The information I saw indicated to me that Fishman
was sold one or more E-Meters as a means to generate money for
Scientology. These sales occurred despite the fact that Scientology
management was aware that a person like Fishman who lacked appropriate
training and who had a history of psychological illness was
highly likely to experience a PTS Type III reaction to self
auditing. They were also aware that there was a significant
possibility that a person who induced a PTS Type III condition
as the result of self auditing would kill himself or others.
68. Based on my training in Scientology thought reform procedures,
I know that the nature of the materials sold to Fishman were
such that if he were to attempt to apply them to himself, the
results were likely to be extremely injurious. Because the
information available indicated that Fishman was an illegal
pre-clear, he was not eligible for the auditing or processing
that would provide him with the techniques to deal with the
mentally overwhelming consequences of what he would do to himself.
Hubbard and other senior Scientologists had described the practices
to which Fishman was subjected as equivalent to giving a person
who had never seen a gun before a loaded gun with the safety
off and encouraging the person to play with it. This is clearly
stated in 'the article on Black Dianetics by Hubbard... (note
quotes from this can be used here)
69. It is my expert opinion that Steve Fishman was a staff
member in a Scientology organization, with a position on the
org board and a senior within a division on the seven division
Org board which is used in organizations to lay out the personnel
and functions of the class IV org. According to a letter of
appointment and a letter from a staff meeting, Fishman had a
desk and a position in the Miami Organization. The contents
verify that Fishman was part of the Communication system, was
posted on the Organization board, had a desk and a letter of
appointment. I have spent 5 years of my 21 years in Sea Org
as a personnel officer, 2 years as Organizing officer and 2
years as an executive Establishment officer and make the above
statement of opinion from knowledge of the inner workings of
the organization basic establishment actions.
MISCAVIGE HAS UNBRIDLED TO PUNISH, IMPRISON AND DECLARE SCIENTOLOGISTS
70. In 1989, I personally observed Miscavige ordering the entire
membership of the Gold compound near Hemit, including all of
the above- mentioned Scientology units (which are corporately
part of RTC and CSI, although the corporate distinction is not
a part of the reality of daily life at the compound), to apply
the ethics condition of Confusion (see next paragraph for an
explanation of this term) as a punishment for a mud slide which
damaged Tom Cruise's private apartment at the base. Tom Cruise
has his own personal Sea Org member assigned as a valet or steward
to clean his apartment and care for his needs when he is at
the Gold base.
71. In Scientology, punishment is assigned by way of what are
called "Lower Ethics Conditions." To quote the Scientology
Technical Dictionary, "(confusion, treason, enemy, doubt, liability,
non- existence, danger, emergency, normal affluence, power change,
power.) The state or, condition of a person can be plotted on
this scale of conditions which shows the degree of success or
survival of that person, group or activity at any time." The
condition of confusion is the lowest, most degraded ethics condition
a person can be in, according to Hubbard's writings. When a
person is in Confusion, they are only allowed minimal sleep
and food. Persons in Confusion have to work very hard to show
that they are trying to get out of that condition before they
are allowed to be "upgraded." I observed that Miscavige assigned
people lower conditions frequently, regardless of the specific
Scientology corporation to which they belonged.
72. In 1987, I observed Miscavige order Vicki Aznaran incarcerated
at a place called Happy Valley. Happy Valley is a ranch 11
miles away from the Gold base near Hemet. It was then one of
the Rehabilitation Project Force ("RPF") Scientology correction
and detention facilities. Vicki had been the senior executive
in RTC. Miscavige won a power struggle and took her off that
post. He ordered her into the RPF which was part of Gold, a
unit in CSI.
73. I was at the Happy Valley complex when Vicki was driven
up. She arrived in one car. Miscavige arrived in another car
right behind her. After Vicki and Miscavige had left the respective
cars in which they arrived, I heard Miscavige scream at Vicki,
"You're going to do the f --- ing RPF." I did not see or hear
Vicki make any response. I saw her go into the berthing facility.
74. A short time later, I spoke to Miscavige during his inspection
of the stairs and patio of a building which was under construction
at the base. He was wearing a new captain's uniform, a rank
to which he appointed himself. I complimented Miscavige on
his new uniform. Miscavige told me that Vicki, Jessie Prince
and Spike Bush had been consigned to RPF. He said, "I'm almost
positive they won't make it through the RPF. They're criminals."
75. Vicki spent 120 days on the RPF. As Director of Renovations
and Construction Gold, a CSI department at the Gold base, I
was in charge of supervising the work performed by the RPF at
the time. Miscavige instructed us to keep a close watch kept
on Vicki because he feared she would try to escape.
76. For 12 hours every day, for the duration of her stay, except
for the few occasions when she was too ill to move, I saw her
run around a pole ("the running program"). This is one of the
most severe forms of RPF. It is reserved for persons deemed
to be in a very low ethics status. It is often regarded as
a program to contain persons regarded as crazy by the Scientology
hierarchy. In addition to the running program Vicki was also
working on other projects for an additional 5 hours a day.
77. Eventually Vicki successfully escaped from the RPF. She
is now suing Scientology.
MISCAVIGE IS THE HEAD OF SCIENTOLOGY AND IS INVOLVED IN THE
DAY TO DAY MAINTENANCE OF CSI
78. I also observed Miscavige promote himself to the Sea Org
Rank of Captain and assume the duties of Chairman of the Board
of the Religious Technology Center ("COB RTC") with no authorization
from Hubbard or anyone else, after Hubbard died.
79. When Hubbard died he left Pat and Annie Broeker in charge.
Then Annie went to the RPF and Pat Broeker went missing, and
the Hubbard order for Pat and Annie to be in charge was canceled
by Miscavige, who then made himself COB RTC.
80. I was at a staff briefing of all the crew at the Hemet
compound (including RTC, CMO Int, International Finance ("Int
Finance"), Hubbard Compilations Unit ("R Comps") , Translation
Unit ("TU") , Hatting Project, Hubbard Technology, Research
and Compilations Unit ("RTRC"), Household Unit ("HU"), CMO Gold
and Gold) when Miscavige announced that the ongoing strategy
to handle the Cult Awareness Network ("CAN") was to send
Scientologists,
some of whom were totally undercover, in to join CAN, and that
we were suing CAN for discrimination whenever they refused to
allow a Scientologist to join. He said the plan was to have
so many scientologists in CAN that the majority of CAN members
would be Scientologists, and they would have no way of knowing
who was and was not a Scientologist.
81. I observed Miscavige approve and disapprove daily film
rushes on the films that were being produced by Golden Era Studios.
Golden Era or Gold is part of CSI. He also approved Renovations
("Renos") schedules, in which all the staff at the Hemet compound
were involved, including not only RTC but also CSI Sea Org units.
82. I also observed Miscavige brief the CSI crow at the base
on how upset he was with the CSI crew for the way they had replied
to a survey. CSI staff were asked where they wanted to live,
and a lot of the CSI staff answered they would like to live
off the base (the Hemet compound) for personal reasons. Miscavige
began screaming and spat at the entire crew and said, "I spit
on you" and "F--- you". He said no one who answered negatively
was in a higher condition than Doubt (another lower ethics condition
only slightly less degraded than Confusion). This briefing
from COB was a general order to the whole base, including CSI,
that if you didn't want to live at the base then you were in
a doubt condition.
83. Miscavige, at this same briefing or muster, also picked
out several particular staff members' surveys and read them
to the crew so the crew could see how terrible these people
were because they wanted to go to Vons market, or to movies
or to have some time off from their post and duties.
84. The next day at the canteen (a private store on the Hemet
compound) there were professionally made signs above the doors
that said Vons and a Vons grocery cart. One staff member came
in and decided it was a ridiculous thing and decided to take
the signs down. Chris Guider, who worked directly for Miscavige,
found out about it and this person was thrown into the lake.
This is a practice called "overboarding." It started on the
Apollo where I participated in the overboarding of many Scientologists
who had angered Hubbard. Indeed, I was thrown overboard myself
and only survived because of Hubbard's last minute decision
to have me plucked from the seas. Now overboarding is down
at the lake on the base. I have seen dozens of people thrown
fully clothed into the water (even in winter) because they did
not meet their production quotas or statistics.
85. I have observed Miscavige (COB RTC) do inspections of CSI's
renovation projects, the result of which was a list of additional
projects and orders for the staff.
86. One specific time was when I was a Gold staff member (part
of CSI) and was working in the garage at the Hemet Compound,
Miscavige came in and told me exactly how he wanted the windows
handled in the planning area. He followed up this inspection
by coming back with all his top execs and screaming and yelling
at me because all the things he had ordered in a previous inspection
were not completed. Attached hereto as
87. I know Miscavige's handwriting. Exhibit A is a copy of
a 5 page document bearing Miscavige's handwriting. Exhibit
A is from Jim Mortland, the Renos Construction Chief Gold (Part
of CSI) to COB RTC (Miscavige) via COB ASST RTC (who was Miscavige's
wife Shelly). Miscavige signed and dated the document on 12/6/90
and all of the handwriting is his reply except the initials
and date COB ASST RTC which are those of his wife. A translation
of the handwriting is attached hereto as Exhibit B. A copy of
Exhibit A also went to D/CO Reserves CMO Int (part of "CSI"),
INT Landlord (part of "CSI") and CO IGOLD (part of CSI). Miscavige
added, above in handwriting, IG (Inspector General of RTC) and
IG Admin (Inspector General Administration of RTC) and CO CMO
INT (which is part of CSI). Accordingly, Miscavige has added
two more of his juniors.
88. Exhibit - clearly demonstrates that Miscavige personally
inspected the work being done by a CSI employee, requested a
report and then directly issued further orders to the CSI employee.
Furthermore, at the end of his handwritten reply, Miscavige
requests information regarding additional projects.
89. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a document entitled Non
Existence Golden Era Productions Coordination Council. This
means the Golden Era Production Coordinator Council was coming
out of non- existence and into existence. Exhibit C demonstrates
that at the Hemet or Gilman Hot Springs base, there is a Coordination
Council comprised of representatives of different Scientology
corporations.
90. In that regard, Miscavige is the ecclesiastical head of
the Church and sits atop the ecclesiastical command chart which
prevails over any corporate command lines and permeates all
ecclesiastical and corporate entities. For example, he has
total authority over the Gold base at Hemet and the old Cedar
Sinai Complex in Los Angeles even though dozens of Scientology
corporations are housed at those locations. So many that they
created the Pacific Area Command (PAC) and Gold Coordination
Council to provide Unified control and command. Miscavige runs
everything and even approves music scores, videos and building
plans.
91. Miscavige issues orders to individuals and groups including
the Coordination Council set forth in Exhibit C. The Coordination
Council itself issues orders to any part of Gold (which is part
of CSI) It cannot issue orders to Miscavige. Nobody issues
orders to Miscavige. His authority and control is absolutely
total over every aspect of Scientology and every Scientologist's
personal life.
92. Miscavige can order a mission of one or more people to
go into any Scientology entity, private businesses owned by
Scientologists and even Scientology families. Indeed, he can
order spouses to disconnect from each other and/or their children.
For example, my 21 year old son Casavius is still in Scientology.
Since my wife and I left Scientology, he has disconnected from
us. Scientology will never let him speak to us or see us.
There is no way for us to contact him or visit him at Hemet.
We have tried many times to do so. When we first left Scientology
we kept a very quiet low profile, partly because of repressed
memories and partly because we didn't want to do anything to
cause our son hardship in the group. We can stay silent no
longer. I am also aware of other "disconnections" such as Matias
Patel whose husband was head of Scientology's finance police
force in Europe.
93. I have also seen 15 to 20 lawyers at a time arrive for
meetings with Miscavige. On one occasion I was working in the
mini conference room. There were about 20 lawyers plus David
Miscavige, Michael Rinder, Heber Jentzsch, all the inspector
generals and the CO CMO INT. Clearly this was a commingling
of CSI and RTC business.
94. There is no doubt in my mind that Miscavige's control of
Scientology, and the Management Structures of the Church, make
him the managing agent of the Church, and a managing agent of
CSI, just as Hubbard was before him.
95. CSI, by its disobedience to this Court's discovery orders,
has been able to conceal the information that otherwise would
have been disclosed during the depositions of Miscavige, Jonno
Epstein, Norman Starkey, Guillaume LeSevre, Marty Rathbun, Ray
Mithoff and Kurt Weiland.
96. Representations by CSI that these persons are not part
of CSI are simply not true.
97. In addition, Miscavige knows about Steven Fishman and his
extensive purchases of Scientology materials. In the summer
of 1987, &t one of the regular weekly briefing sessions during
which Miscavige addressed all persons at the Gold base, regardless
of corporate affiliation, he informed all of those mustered
that Steven Fishman, a public Scientologist who had made large
purchases of Scientology materials, had demanded a refund because
Gold had sold Fishman a large number of leather-encased clearsound
reel to reel audio tapes of Hubbard lectures and Gold had not
delivered them. Moreover, although they had sold Fishman the
tapes, Gold was not going to deliver them and had no intention
of ever doing so. This was the first item on Miscavige's agenda.
Miscavige announced that Gold did not make that product, never
intended to make that product and had in fact not made the promised
product. Because this was a major public relations flap, a
mission was established to deal with the problem. The mission
busted Wendell Reynolds from Commanding Officer of Gold to pot
washer. Janelle Allbach, the person who sold Fishman $80,000.00
of non-existent product, and Fronz Schuler were also removed
from their posts because of the negative repercussions. In
addition to hearing Miscavige's explanation of what happened
at the muster, I also saw the ethics order issued on Allbach.
It also mentioned the Fishman reg cycle and the scam that had
been perpetrated on him by unethical Scientologists. In taking
these actions, Miscavige was operating within the Scientology
commend chart but was crossing Scientology corporate lines and
issuing orders that apply to corporations, organizations and
missions where he held no corporate post or other position.
Corporations, corporate posts and corporate Positions are meaningless
in Scientology and the Church.
THE EPSTEIN, LESEVRE, RATHBUN, STARKEY, MITHOFF AND WEILAND
DECLARATIONS FILED IN CONNECTION WITH PLAINTIFF'S AND NON-PARTIES
NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE WITH DISCOVERY OBJECTIONS ARE MISLEADING
98. Jonno Epstein is the Chief Financial Officer of CSI. In
my experience, regardless of which Scientology organization
I worked for, whenever I needed funds to complete projects,
I contacted Jonno Epstein. So, I know that he holds the Scientology
purse strings and authorizes the writing of checks for whichever
Scientology entity requires money. This has led me to conclude
that Epstein is the Chief Financial Officer of other Scientology
entities also.
99. In addition, I have personal knowledge of financial fraud
involving Jonno Epstein and his wife Leslie. While on the RPF
in 1987-1988, I was supervising the thought reform progress
of Leslie. She had confessed to embezzling $24,000.00 dollars
from the Church and spending it for her own personal use. She
"handled" the situation by writing a note to her husband Jonno
to pay the owed monies from book commission she should've received
from Scientology. Weeks later I observed Leslie to be very
happy and joyous. I asked what had occurred she said that,
her idea to pay back the money she had embezzled was now approved
and Jonno had transferred the money to reserves. Accordingly,
the $24,000 stolen from the Church on this occasion, for her
own personal inurement, was never repaid and was covered up
with money from another book bonus.
100. Guillaume LeSevre is the Executive Director International
(ED INT). The post is the work-horse manager over Scientology
International CSI. The ED INT receives all public mail from
Scientologists who used to write to "Ron" and now write to the
ED INT. The last Church post that Hubbard held was that of
ED INT. He resigned from it in 1966 and it was vacant until
Miscavige appointed Bill Franks to the post in 1982.
101. LeSevre is the Church Official that the Church identifies
as having management knowledge. He should have knowledge of
the major purchases of books, tapes and E-meters by Fishman.
102. Marty Rathbun is the Inspector General Ethics ("IG ETHICS").
Accordingly, he ran all of the Church's Offices of Special Affairs
of CSI. This includes all legal cases, private investigations,
investigations, public relations and the execution of 'Fair
Game'.
103. Rathbun is relevant to the inquiry as to whether Fishman
was 'set up' and 'off loaded' by the Church. OSA, and therefore
Mr. Rathbun, also received all of the data about Scientology
related deaths, suicides and financial frauds.
104. Norman Starkey was the trustee of the Hubbard estate including
Authors Family Trust B. It held the copyrights to all the Scientology
materials. RTC only holds the trademarks. All of the Scientology
books that Fishman purchased from Scientology were copyrighted
by the Hubbard trusts. Norman had no authority in C.S.I. Despite
this, I observed Norman (who was ASI), yelling and screaming
at Arthur Hubbard (who was CSI). Arthur told me on several
occasions of his dislike of his father (Hubbard) always trying
to run his life. Arthur got so upset with his fathers constant
intervention into his life that Arthur decided to leave the
Sea Org. He was recovered by Miscavige and Starkey and was
immediately sent to the RPF where he spent many months. In
1986 Arthur escaped the RPF and was again reprieved. Norm Starkey
ordered the confinement of Arthur Hubbard at Happy Valley in
1986 after Arthur was back in the RPF he was given special thought
reform process which drove him crazy and he again left the Sea
Org, this time never to return.
105. Ray Mithoff is the senior-most person dealing with the
technology of Scientology which includes auditing and the handling
of Potential Trouble Source Type 3 cases ("PTS type 3"). A
person who is PTS Type 3 has suffered a psychotic break, may
hear voices, may have suicidal tendencies and will not know
what is going on. I have personally observed numerous PTS type
3 cases in Scientology -- often in the course of auditing.
Mr. Mithoff can verify PTS- Type 3 symptoms. He can verify handling
appropriate procedures such as the introspection rundown and
isolation watch. He can identify and describe actual cases
and which deaths and suicides are directly attributable to Scientology
auditing. From what Mr. Berry has told me about Fishman and
his behavior, it is my opinion, as an experienced RPF auditor
and RPF case supervisor, that he may have gone PTS-Type 3-especially
if he had an extensive psychological background and was self-auditing
without training.
106. Kurt Weiland is the Commanding Officer of the Office of
Special Affairs International (CO OSA INT). Heber Jentzsch,
the President of CSI, takes orders from, and reports to, Kurt
Weiland, who is his senior. Kurt Weiland's job position ("Post")
is within CSI. He directly supervises legal actions, investigations
and public relations. Kurt Weiland is senior to the Director
of Investigations which is CSI's spy section engaging in covert
intelligence operations, intimidation and harassment -- often
through private investigators such as Eugene Ingram. Kurt Weiland
reports to Mike Rinder who is on the Watchdog Committee as WDC
OSA. Rinder reports to the Chairman of the Watchdog Committee
who is Mark Yeager. Yeager reports to Miscavige. Thus, the
President of CSI (Rev. Heber Jentzsch) is only a mid-level
official with no significant power of authority. The purpose
is to contain the Courts and litigants at Heber Jentzsch's figure
head level.
CULLING OF PRE CLEAR FILES
107. In 1988 I case supervised Tom Ashworth who had gone PTS
type III, slashed his wrists and later tried to escape with
some upper level materials he had somehow obtained. I ordered
a C/S 53 FIN and a LCRE. Tom Ashworth's pre clear folder was
sent up to Ray Mithoff who was then RTC Inspector General for
Tech. I was CSI. The folder came back with everything regarding
the psychotic break removed from the folder.
THE TIME ARTICLE IS NOT NOT OF AND CONCERNING CSI
108. As indicated above, I have 21 years of experience with
the Scientology organization. Throughout that time the words
Scientology, Church of Scientology, Scientologist and church
were widely used. These words are generic in nature. They
do not refer to any particular organization or person within
the Scientology corporate hierarchy, the Scientology Command
Chart or the Scientology belief system.
109. I reviewed the alleged "of and concerning' language which
CSI sets forth in its complaint in this action. There is nothing
in the two paragraphs in question that even remotely references
CSI.
110. Within Scientology organizations, and as used by persons
who adhere to the Scientology belief system, the term Scientology
refers to a belief system based on Hubbard's Tech which is applied
by Scientologists to ecclesiastical and secular matters. Scientology
is defined by the Tech Dictionary as: Scientology does not
refer to any corporate entity. The Tech Dictionary does not
provide any corporate association for the word Scientology.
111. Within Scientology organizations, and as used by persons
who adhere to the Scientology belief system, the term Scientologist
has always referred to an individual person who embraces the
Scientology belief system. It does not refer to any corporate
entity. The Tech Dictionary does not provide any corporate
association for the word Scientologist.
112. The term church is used throughout Scientology organizations,
and by adherents to the Scientology belief systems, to refer
to all scientology organizations. The term church does not
imply or specify any particular organization within the Scientology
corporate hierarchy or the Scientology Command Chart.
113. Accordingly, the relevant references to 'Scientology'
and 'the church' are to the Church of Scientology and Scientology
generally and without reference to any of the hundreds of Scientology
corporations.
INUREMENT TO SELECTED SCIENTOLOGISTS
114. I spent more than ten years stationed at the Gilman Hot
Springs Scientology base near Hemet, California. It is known
as 'Gold.' The Gold is a fortified and armed facility operated
by various Scientology organizations. It is under the direct
control of Miscavige who also has an expensive residence there.
These organizations include the Church of Scientology International
("CSI") and the Religious Technology Center ("RTC"). Gold is
administered, in part, by The Gold Coordination Council. Exhibit
____. While I was stationed at Gold, I was personally involved
with numerous renovations and construction projects. These
included:
(a) The renovation of Hubbard's personal living quarters in
approx. 1983;
(b) The renovation of Hubbard's office, which included installing
cinematography and audio sound equipment of production studio
quality in approx. 1983/84;
(c) Constructing Hubbard's laundry facility which included installing
two large washing machines, two large dryers, a complete dry
cleaning machine and all attachments and an 18' x 12' storage
closet in approx. 1983/84.
115. I witnessed money from various non profit Scientology
organizations, and labor provided by various non profit Scientology
organizations being used for the personal benefit it of Miscavige,
Tom Cruise, other Scientology senior executives and other Scientology
celebrities (such as John Travolta, Chick Corea and Priscilla
Presley).
116. I also saw monies and/or personnel from various Scientology
non profit religious organizations being used for the personal
benefit of Miscavige. We constructed a music room for him,
a lounge, a dressing room, a personal exercise room and personnel
storage rooms. The approximate cost of this was between $250,000,
$300,000. This does not include the cost of labor since RPFers,
or slave labor was used on these projects for personal enurement
of Miscavige.
117. Miscavige, other senior Scientologists and certain celebrities
would also use the movie theater we constructed on the base
to view first run movies provided to him by his acquaintances
in the movie industry. The cost of this was easily $150,000.
This cost does not include labor (again slave labor) or expensive
film projection equipment.
118. During the 1980's, Miscavige befriended the actor Tom
Cruise and they spend a lot of time together on the Hemet base.
Their special chef, Sinar Parman, would prepare them fancy
meals. Often they would hang out alone in the space designated
for L. Ron Hubbard on the Clipper Ship we built in the desert.
This space had a small kitchen, a little dining room, a little
bar and a bed. They also had the exclusive use of the officers
lounge. On other occasions Miscavige and Cruise would work
out in the expensive gym we built for exclusive and restricted
use. No one else was allowed to talk to Tom Cruise when he
was on the base. One time one of the gardeners spoke to him
and this caused a major flap on the base. At Gold, Miscavige
is known by his initials DM and Tom Cruise by his initials TC.
From the late 1980's until I left the Gold, Tom Cruise was
provided a personal and exclusive apartment and storage facilities
by the Scientology organization and at Scientology's expense.
Tom Cruise kept two Yamaha motorcycles, a Mercedes Benz automobile
and a large motor home at Gold. These were stored in what used
to be Hubbard's garage and parking lot. Obviously, Miscavige
and Cruise have developed a special relationship. One is a
young world domineering celebrity. The other is a young domineering
cult leader who seeks to 'clear' the world and to rule it according
to Scientology beliefs and practices.
119. When Tom Cruise got married to Nicole Kidman, they and
David Miscavige went to a Colorado Ski Resort for the marriage
ceremony. A Sea Org staffer (Sinar Parman) was taken along
to do personal cooking for Tom Cruise and Miscavige at the expense
of Scientology not for profit religious organizations. This
left only 3 cooks at Gold to cook for 800 people three times
a day.
120. I personally participated in the construction of an apartment
at the Gold base, using extensive funds from various non profit
Scientology religious organizations, for the personal and exclusive
use of Tom Cruise. This was done on the orders of David Miscavige.
Even though Miscavige has claimed to be Chairman of the Board
of RTC, here he is directing the expenditure of CSI money and
the deployment of CSI labor -- both paid and slave. Other apartment
cottages were built for the use of John Travolta, Kirstie Alley,
Edgar Winters, Priscilla Presley and other Scientology celebrities
who are carefully prevented from finding out the real truth
about the Scientology organization. The labor used to construct
Tom Cruise's apartment was provided by Gold, a division of CSI,
and persons from a myriad of Scientology organizations serving
time in the RPF. The RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force) is
the Scientology gulag or concentration camp. Using RPFers to
renovate and reconstruct Tom Cruise's personal and exclusive
apartment at the Scientology Gold base is equivalent to the
use of slave labor for Tom Cruise's benefit. The Tom Cruise
apartment at the Gold base is located at the golf course end
of the Gold base, closest to State Street. When Tom Cruise
visits the Gold base, and stays in his personal apartment, he
is cared for by a Sea Org steward.
121. We also had to renovate the Tom Cruise apartment at the
Hemet Base after it was damaged by a mud slide. The repairs
had to be performed on an emergency basis. Both the Gold crew
and the RPFers were placed on extended hours to restore the
apartment. Again, Tom Cruise was benefiting from the use of
what is essentially prison slave labor being worked almost around
the clock.
122. Tom Cruise also enjoyed use of facilities constructed
on the Gold base that were not available to any Scientology
staff except the senior most Scientologists on the base, particularly
Miscavige and his lieutenants. For example, I saw Tom Cruise
use the exercise room which was off limits to at least 98 percent
of the staff. Tom Cruise also had unrestricted access to the
Ship which has a sauna, jacuzi and a large Olympic sized swimming
pool. With regard to the Miscavige/Cruise gym this was built
in conjunction with the estates facility in approx. 1989. The
gym building cost approx. $150,000 (again using slave labor)
and contains a complete lineup of the most modern weight training
equipment. It is one of the most incredible gyms imaginable
and is for the exclusive use of Tom Cruise, David Miscavige
and other specially and specifically approved by him. It also
has an incredible shower area.
123. To assure that Tom Cruise's stays at the Hemet base were
enjoyable, special provisions were made for him and restrictions
were imposed on the staff at the Hemet base. Millions of Church
dollars were spent so that millionaire Tom Cruise could regularly
visit the Scientology base and be friends with Miscavige. For
example, Tom Cruise received special meal services, special
room services and the Hemet base staff was restricted in its
access to Hemet base facilities. Indeed, a girl by the name
of Jennie Matsamura was assigned to take care of him and his
renovated cottage. The Hemet base staff was barred from going
where Tom Cruise might be present. Construction and renovation
work that was done on the base for Tom Cruise's benefit often
had to be torn up and redone because the coloring was slightly
off or there were a few inches of group that didn't quite match
in color. Once we had to pour a concrete walkway so that Tom
Cruise would not have to walk on the desert soil. Before the
concrete dried it rained. The concrete was spoiled. Miscavige
went into a fury over that.
124. On one occasion, prior to a Cruise/Kidman visit, Miscavige
decided to redo the meadow in beautiful flowers; Tens of thousands
of dollars were spent on the project so that Cruise and Kidman
could romp there. However, Miscavige inspected the project
and didn't like it. So the whole meadow was plowed up, destroyed,
replowed and sown with plain grass.
125. Tom Cruise also received his upper level auditing at the
Gold base. All of his auditor training was provided under the
auspices of RTC and delivered by RTC. Officially, RTC has no
auditing service delivery capability. It exists solely to enforce
the Scientology trademarks. This is yet another example of
how the purported corporate compartmentalization exists only
for the "WOG" world and has no meaning within Scientology.
At the time I left Gold, Tom Cruise had completed Dianetics,
Level O-IV, the Key to life course, the Life orientation course
and he was audited up to OT III.
126. OT III deals with body thetans ("bts") and clustered body
thetans ("clusters") . In essence, OT III deals with "the incident"
which Hubbard claims to have been the most engramic incident
responsible for the current state of man. According to OT III,
75 million years ago, the solution to overpopulation in a space
confederacy (consisting of 26 planets) was solved. Now, each
leaf on the Sea Org symbol represents one of those planets.
Each of these planets had approx. 150-200 billion citizens
each. The overpopulation solution was to disembody all the
spirits ("mass murder") with the use of glycol (alcohol and
sugar) injected into the spinal cord causing an immediate freezing
up of the body and the unconsciousness of the being (soon to
become a bt or cluster) . The frozen bodies were then collected
and transported to earth (called Teegach by Hubbard) in space
ships resembling Boeing 707 jetliners. The bodies were piled
up, as in the Nazi massacres, on the top of various mountain
sites around the then earth. Inside these mountains were 17
strategically placed enormous atomic bombs -- bigger than any
built this century. After the citizens who had been selected
to be part of the solution were placed on the mountains, the
hydrogen bombs were ignited from a remote space station (lunar
moon) by the officers of Xenu who ruled the space confederacy.
After the explosions the now disembodied thetans were electronically
trapped and transported to areas now known as Hawaii and Las
Palmas where there were pre-constructed implant stations. Then
there was a long and arduous process of packaging the disembodied
thetas (spirits) into clusters with ideas, morals, social values,
emotions, sensations, pains and attitudes of what we now observe
as human life. The clusters were then dispersed over planet
earth through the medium of ice. The ice then melted and the
first stage of implant command became activated. This is known
as 'Survival' in Dianetics. The bts or clusters then seek a
human body. When the bt or cluster occupies the body it will
either begin running or operating the body or the engramic commands
earlier received in the implants take place. This will occur
over and over again in what is known as the life cycle -- each
time resetting the implant and restarting its effect with a
death or end of cycle.' This technology can be used for tailor
made psychosis, neurosis and general madness. Indeed, implant
technology of this sort can be used for many purposes. Using
implant technology, Hubbard teaches how you can cause someone
to do whatever you want them to do, starting at the prenatal
stage.
127. The purpose of auditing at the OT III level, such as Tom
Cruise has received, is to contact and audit the bts and clusters
so that the bts and clusters leave the body of the auditor.
The purpose of this is to free the person from the determinism
of the bts and clusters. However, the bts and clusters that
are released by the solo auditor are now back at the beginning
of their implant which they received 75 million years ago.
Survival then retriggers the basic implant which then picks
up a body, or attaches to one that is already occupied, and
re begins the whole cycle.
128. The ultimate goal of auditing is the return of self determinism
and abilities of the person being audited. In other words,
to return the person to the state they were in 75 million years
ago before Xenu handled the over-population problem.
129. Tom Cruise also audited Kevin Catano up to grade IV.
Kevin Catano was a member of the Sea Org security force at Gold.
Usually a Sea Org member in the security force would be audited
only by a Sea Org member -- not a public scientologist let alone
Scientology celebrity.
130. Tom Cruise's p.c. (pre-clear) folder was kept in the
Gold case supervision (c/s) office which I had access to as
a security missionaire. It contains supposedly confidential
information derived during auditing sessions. However, the
contents of such pre-clear folders have been culled and used
against people. it is my opinion, based on my Scientology training,
education and experience, that such information is collected
by the Scientology organization in order to be able to exert
control and influence over people such as Tom Cruise or John
Travolta should they ever attempt to leave the Scientology
organization.
131. In 1989/1990 we also constructed a tennis court at Gold
for the exclusive list of Celebrities and Miscavige. Non profit
Scientology religious organization funds were used for this
inurement project. The tennis court cost at least $200,000
to build. The rubber coating alone, on the tennis court, cost
$80,000. Then there was the landscaping and rose garden around
the tennis court.
FINANCIAL FRAUD
132. I received money from Scientology reserves in excess of
one million dollars. I used these monies to build a sound studio.
133. In 1990 Jan/Feb, I became aware of the fact that some
friends of mine came subject to severe ethics handlings. The
first was Mike Silverman, he was assigned to the RPF's RPF for
credit card scams and a lot of other financial scams he was
involved in. It is my opinion that Mike was the scapegoat and
everyone concerned with the credit card scam was not sent to
the RPF'S RPF. Also it is my experience that the Church kept
all the monies gotten from the scam and made the public persons
involved through coercive ethics application such as lower conditions,
pay the credit card depts and the church kept the money. The
second friend who was subjected to severe ethics action was
Joe Bueno. Joe and I spent months together in the RPF (Scientology's
thought reform prison camp). I saw an ethics order on Joe Bueno
which stated he was the originator of the credit card abuse
system and he arranged special credit card loans. Jonno Epstein,
Marc Yeager claim no knowledge of this credit card cycle. Their'
claim is just not true, as the Watch Dog chairman Marc Yeager
is briefed on the "income sources that are in operation in
Scientology.
Just as Jonno Epstein is briefed of all the "income sources"
in operation so for them to claim no knowledge is like saying
there is no sky, or there are no fish in the ocean, complete
nonsense.
134. I was also directed by L. Ron Hubbard to go to a bank
in Zurich, Switzerland, withdraw $14 million and to return with
it to Lisbon, Portugal. Two other Sea Org members went on this
mission with me. When we went to the bank, they brought the
money out in a cart and we sat there and counted it three times.
We then put it in a suit case, got a taxi cab, then an air
flight and handed the money over as ordered. we were then debriefed.

VERIFICATION OF THE BONA FIDES OF OTHER EXPERTS
146. I was on the RPF with Robert Vaughn Young and others.
I was personally charged with verifying that Young's mind control
program directed by my seniors was actually done. This program
included application of Black Dianetics auditing procedures.
As a case supervisor I spent between 20 and 30 hours verifying
the mind control program that was imposed on Young and then
reviewing the results of the brainwashing.
147. I was also on the RPF with Stacy Young and supervised
the administration of various Black Dianetics procedures on
her. Part of this program included a "gang bang sec check,"
which Rick Aznaran and I performed at the instruction of Sr
C/S Int Ray is Mithoff.
SCIENTOLOGY FINANCIAL FRAUD IN THE FORM OF CONCEALING INFORMATION
FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
148. In December of 1992, Miscavige directed that we hide a
large number of sea containers of financial records relating
to the Church and himself. The sea containers were to be hidden
from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS" IRS investigators were
scheduled to visit the Hemet base to inspect the records of
various Scientology organizations in connection with the IRS's
investigation of the various church of Scientology entities
that had applied for Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
(A sea container is a large transferable metal storage container,
measuring approximately 40' x 8' x 8'6". These containers can
be transported on flat bed trucks, flat bed railroad cars and
container ships.)
149. The procedures for concealing the information contained
in the sea container were set out in a written TRS handling
program. It outlined the steps to be taken to secure the Hemet
base and make sure that the IRS examiners did not see any information
that Miscavige did not want the examiners to see.
150. There were a total of 20 sea containers involved in this
concealment. We consolidated them down to 12 sea containers.
I was also ordered to grade the land on which these containers
had sat so that there was no proof of them ever having been
there.
151. One of these sea containers of documents was mistakenly
removed from the base unbeknownst to either me or Miscavige.
At the time unused sea containers were being shipped from Gold
base to their owners. Inexplicably, one of the sea containers
containing concealed tax information was picked up and taken
from the Gold base by the owner's employees who believed that
the sea container was empty. When Miscavige learned that there
had been a mistake in connection with the hiding of this sea
container of financial documents, he was outraged. He flew into
a tirade. He blamed me for the error and accused me of trying
to destroy him. It ended up on a ship at San Pedro and was
off- loaded before the ship's departure.
My Decision to Leave Scientology
Miscavige then told me that I was making it impossible for him
to function at the base. By this time I had reached my limit
as to the amount of abuse I was willing to take. I decided
to flee from Scientology. I left ("'blew") my "post" at the
Hemet base. When I left, I was able to locate my wife and we
left together. I was not able to locate my 21 year old son.
He is still on staff. We have been unable to communicate since.
My wife and I then successfully avoided the efforts of Scientology
personnel in RTC and CSI to get us back to the Hemet base.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United
States of America and of the State of California that the foregoing
is true and correct. Executed in Los Angeles, California this
5th day of March, 1994.
