CBR: ...So, I tried to find the Boss, and the thing was, that I did not. And I don't want anybody to believe that I have physically seen the Boss since 1981. I haven't. I have not gotten into physical communication with him. (CBR-debrief from 1982)

1981, 1 January 

Church of Scientology of Quebec, Canada founded. (CofS)

A telex comes down to Miscavige, establishing Mission All Clear (MAC). There are 35 liability cases against the church and many of them name LRH as a defendant. Miscavige is the head of the unit. The purpose of this unit was to extricate LRH from all of the lawsuits that had been filed naming him as the head of the Church. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (29))

Because this is so “confidential and sensitive”, Miscavige forms a direct comm line with Broeker, by-passing all of his CMO seniors and the Watchdog Committee. Miscavige then began to systematically eliminate all of the other members of the All Clear Committee. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (8))

1981 until August

Peter Green: John Horwich, who was at that time Diana's husband, told us in a briefing that Ron gave him a job to do which was to align the networks. Ron did an eval and found that one of the problems was the various Networks, the G.O., the Sea Org, the Missions, the LRH Comm Network, the Folo Network, etc., were all at loggerheads and John Horwich was given the program by LRH to align these. And John went ahead, did the job and he found out very very quickly and simply that the G.O. was the culprit and that basically the G.O. was out of comm with the others and was cutting comm and was a problem.

He said: "Oh! That's fine, very good. So he went to Mary Sue and said: "Got it all sorted out, this is what we have to do: Get the G.O. to align its admin scale with the others etc. etc., and to his horror he was immediately attacked very strongly, and he backed off.

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

And Jane pulled a counter-coup and took the G.O. back. Jane, of course, was out in Los Angeles at the time, I think, because of her trial, and they had to go in again. And this time Jane had sixteen B1 bully boys standing around saying "don't you dare" and Jane was going to call the security forces, the rent-a-cop type people with billy clubs to defend her post. Mo Budlong said, "that is crazy, that is insane, that will cause nothing but bad press," and so the G.O. capitulated again, leaving the S.O. to take over the G.O.

Bill Franks then did an evaluation as ED INT on the Guardian's Office, and that evaluation has not been published but is probably available. And his conclusion was that Jane Kember had taken Scientology and turned it 180 degrees around and we had completely black Scientology. There were 2 Scientologies. LRH Scientology and Scientology per Jane Kember's interpretations.

... Many of the Assistant Guardians immediately changed sides and joined the Sea Org, including Jan Logan who is Guardian staff running the Mission Offices. And many of these G.O. people immediately joined the Sea Org rather sheepishly, because there had been a war between the Sea Org and the G.O. for years and finally the S.O. had won. So they changed sides.

... The busting of the G.O., as I said, was in August of '81. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, early

David Mayo: ... Miscavige and Broeker had busted Dede Voegeding as CO CMO INT for "security reasons" which later turned out to be because she was considered a threat to their authority. (David Mayo, 8.12.83)

1981 2 February: 

Bridge Publications, Inc. is incorporated specifically to publish L. Ron Hubbard's copyrighted works, and the Registered Agent was Lenske's law partner and later CST Special Director, Lawrence E. Heller. BPI's publishing rights would require a license from "Hubbard" for them to publish the works,. Where is it? Who got it? How? IRS gave BPI tax exemption, so IRS has a copy. (http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/washubbard.html)

1981, 19 February 

1981, March 

MSH is in close communication with Laurel Sullivan and other staff of a project called Mission Corporate Category Sort-Out, MCCS. The project was to create a new corporate structure to protect LRH from criminal and civil litigation. These staff had knowledge about inurement to LRH and the conspiracy to cover it up.

The MCCS meetings were recorded on audio tape. Later, the Ninth Circuit Court reviews the tapes and says they contain evidence of intent to defraud the IRS and thus they were not protected by the attorney-client privilege. 

As Action Chief of CMO Int., David Miscavige sends missions to investigate the G.O. Their attempts to get information were thwarted by MSH. MSH cut all of their communications to the G.O., except through her. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (29))

1981, April 

David Miscavige says (in an affidavit later): without MSH’s knowledge, he sent a mission to GO headquarters in England in April 1981. They inspected the Legal Bureau under the guise that MSH had authorized it. They found the GO had mismanaged the Church’s legal affairs and was not following policy. 

They found the GO staff had committed crimes against the US Government and others. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (33))

1981, 15 April 

That's when Lenske says he started representing "Hubbard"for all aspects of estate planning and that's when Starkey claims he "hired" Lenske, Lenske & Heller. So Hubbard had to have given them a power of attorney to start representing him in literary and business and litigation matters and handling his estate planning. Where is it? Who got it? How? IRS not only gave tax exemption to all the corporations set up by Lenske, Lenske & Heller, purportedly based on an "estate plan" from Hubbard, but specifically referenced the 1986 Will of L. Ron Hubbard that Lenske says he assisted in drafting. So IRS must have a copy of the power of attorney. (http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/washubbard.html)

1981, Spring 

Celebrity Centre moved into the famous Château Elysée, a French Normandie-style hotel in Hollywood, formerly the home of many prominent actors, actresses and other celebrities. In 1987, this building was registered as an historic landmark in the state of California. (CofS)

1981, May 

MSH is Controller and she holds control over the corporate structure of Scientology, as well as all of the trademarks and copyrights. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (33))

Then, attorney Sherman Lenske appears on the scene claiming to be LRH’s personal attorney.

Two months later, MSH gets overthrown from her Controller post and Lenske is instrumental in the corporate restructuring of all of Scientology. A year later he is a co-founder of the Church of Spiritual Technology, which eventually comes to have control over every intellectual property that LRH and MSH had ever owned or controlled. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (59))

Another co-founder of the Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) is Meade Emory. He was the Assistant to the Commissioner of the IRS in 1975 and 1976, when the FBI caught Wolfe and Meisner stealing IRS documents, leading to the FBI raid and the overthrow of MSH and the Guardian’s Office by CMO staff - the Broekers and Miscavige.

HCOPL 14 June 1965 Politics, Freedom From: “… the United States government  and the efforts of that government since 1955, stepped up since 1963, TO SEIZE SCIENTOLOGY RATHER THAN FORBID OR STOP IT…” (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (15, 16, 59))

L. Ron Hubbard releases the Success Through Communication Course. (CofS)

1981, June 

Miscavige, along with Pat and Annie Broeker, decided that the Guardian’s Office must be eliminated. He gathered a couple of dozen Church executives and they planned a series of missions to take over the G.O. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (8, 33))

LRH appoints Bill Franks to the post of ED International and ordered Franks to become a signatory on certain bank accounts in Luxembourg containing about 150 million dollars. Between now and December 1981, there is a conflict between Franks and Miscavige over control of these bank accounts. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (13))

1981, 1 July 

David Miscavige arranges a meeting with Mary Sue Hubbard, based on a lie. Hecalls her on the phone and implies that he has comm for her from LRH.

They get together, but the letter he promised simply did not exist. What hedid arrive with was a letter he had had written by church attorneys,(Sherman Lenske & Meade Emory ?) stating erroneously that Mary Sue’s presence as the controller of the church endangered and implicated LRH in all church matters. Based on this letter and other conversations that the two of them had, Mary Sue was eventually persuaded to step down as controller.

Miscavige’s exchanges with MSH were extremely bitter and he brags around INT for some weeks thereafter about calling her a suppressive bitch and some other names. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (8, 33))

1981, 7 July 

Twenty CMO missionaires, headed by Vicki Aznaran, were sent to the St. Hill and Los Angeles Guardian Offices, hoping to simply take over the G.O. Prior to this takeover, power was distributed between the CMO and the G.O. And they acted, to some degree, as a check and balance on one another. This was going to be the elimination of that check and balance and was considered to be a very important operation.

In Los Angeles, the takeover went smoothly until Jane Kember, Guardian World Wide, is encountered. She barricaded herself in her office and refused to be unseated. The missionaires manage to get an appointment with her and she is intractable. The missionaires then send a telex back to INT and two more missionaires are sent out to handle the situation.

What was decided is that a fake telex is going to be constructed, allegedly from LRH, that will order Jane Kember to step down and let the CMO take over the G.O. This telex is typed on the spot by the missionaires from INT, it is  put in a folder that contains other legitimate LRH telexes and another meeting is arranged with Jane Kember.

Jane is given the folder of telexes to read, she sees the telex ordering that she step down and that the CMO be allowed to take over the Guardian’s Office and that action is done. That is the end of the G.O. and now the CMO and ultimately Miscavige and Pat and Annie Broeker now run the entire church. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (8))

A Reign of Terror begins, followed by the Golden Age of Squirreling, as follows:

Miscavige established and headed a unit called “Special Project”. From this position he ran the entirety of Scientology. He staffed it with 15 people who took over the functions of the GO bureaus. Some of the staff were Norman Starkey, Lyman Spurlock, Terri Gamboa and Vaughn and Stacy Young. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (22, 26))

These people now ran the Intelligence, PR, and Legal functions previously run by the GO. The primary focus was on the Mission All Clear, in the legal division of the GO. The purpose of this unit was to extricate LRH from all of the lawsuits that had been filed naming him as the head of the Church. 

Miscavige was personally charged with extricating LRH from pending litigation so LRH could come out of hiding.

Later, the Guardian’s Office functions of handling external matters, such as Intelligence, PR, and Legal are given a new name, the Office of Special Affairs (OSA). Miscavige now runs all of Scientology, both external and internal matters. The only people senior to Miscavige are Pat and Annie Broker, who work directly under LRH. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (29))

1981, 5.8.

Then came a document called International Conditions Order Number 1, 5 August '81, with distribution to Flag, Folos, G.O., W.W., Continental Guardian Offices, Committee of Evidence, Fred Hare, Jane Kember, David Gaiman, Herbie Parkhouse, Henning Heldt, Duke Schneider, Mo Budlong, Jimmy Mulligan, Ann Mulligan, Rick Merwin, and Nicky Merwin.

In this document, the interested parties are Comm Ev'd by a committee consisting of chairman Lieutenant J.G. David Miscavige, D.M., Ensign Marc Yaeger, Warrant Officer Nelson, Lieutenant Commander Clarice Brusel, and Petty Officer April Hall. They were found guilty, removed from post, stripped of most of their certificates and so forth, but the findings were never published. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, 26.8.

At this time, Alan Walter gets involved (He'd been kicked out of the Franchise Program in 1978, and had his mission taken away from him in the Midwest for the second or third time. His first one was in 1969). Alan went to Franks and told him that many of the old-time Mission Holders and the power leaders in the field were inactive. Such as Doran and myself, Ray Kemp, Bent Corydon, Carl Barney, and Phil Spickler. And Franks was horrified. He didn't know. He thought we were still on post all busy doing our things and running our missions. And he said, "I'm so busy right now with this G.O. clean up, the "Get High On Yourself" celebrity program, I need some help. But as soon as that is finished I will definitely put some attention on this and hold a meeting for the Mission Holders and see if we can get this lot cleaned up."

... on August 26, 1981 Bill Franks, ED INT, issued Sea Org ED 1789 INT BPI, All Staff, All Public, from Executive Director International. It was called MANAGEMENT CHANGES, and in this issue he told about the management changes and the history, and how the G.O. had turned around and gone adrift.

He says, unfortunately, over the years the Guardian Office went adrift. Factually, the phenomenon of being off-policy and off-source increased over the years. This was not a sudden change, but was a gradual decay in the G.O. by people who "knew best" and started formulating their own policy, sometimes even counter to the Church's best interest etc. etc.

An obvious example might be the criminal cases. Here we have people representing the Church who had gotten themselves involved in a fight with the government, when our very first policy is to maintain friendly relations with the environment. The mistakes made were simply that this policy was not followed and the results were predictably negative for the Church. Any and all criminal actions were done by a handful of individuals. It was not by the Church. Such actions are, in fact, totally counter to Church beliefs and policy, and that's the real truth of it.

Franks told me, subsequently, that in doing his evaluation he found that there were direct orders from LRH not to do anything criminal. That if you do criminal acts you already admit that you have failed because any information can be obtained legally.

Again, from Bill Franks to myself, he said that Mary Sue, (he was out here in Los Angeles), and Mary Sue saw this MANAGEMENT CHANGES issue in the L.A. Times. It was published by the World Press. It was run in the L. A. Times. It was run in the Canadian newspapers. It was featured, I think, four consecutive days by the BBC in England, and it made big headlines or big world press, that the Church of Scientology was cleaning up its act and was admitting that there had been errors and criminality, but now it was straightening out. Mary Sue didn't see this Sea Org ED, she read it in the paper and she called Bill Franks and she said, "Bill, I'm going to get you for this!"(Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, 15.9.

On 15 September, L. Ron Hubbard wrote an issue HCOB 15 September 1981 called THE CRIMINAL MIND - the timing is interesting. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, Fall 

Miscavige says that a concern of LRH’s was that his personal affairs be handled independently of any church activities. The IRS raised concerns regarding LRH’s relationship to Scientology churches. LRH wanted to have his personal affairs managed and to put an end to any concerns about his relationship to any Scientology churches. So, his personal attorneys advised and were the architects of a for-profit corporation that addressed these needs. Thus Author Services Incorporated (ASI) was formed to manage the personal, business and literary affairs of LRH, including his financial and legal matters. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37))

In addition to ASI, another for-profit corporation is formed, Bridge Publications Inc. (BPI)

It publishes and distributes the Scientology Scriptures, including books and recorded tapes, and manufactures, repairs and distributes E-Meters. It also publishes and distributes LRH fiction works. New Era Publications performs the same activities for countries outside of the US.

ASI, BPI, and NEP are all for-profit companies. They pay royalties directly to LRH and his successors, which includes Religious Technology Center (RTC) and Church of Spiritual Technology (CST). (Therefore the IRS denies tax-exempt status to RTC and CST). (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (15))

1981, October 

MSH and 10 aides appeal their conviction of conspiracy. MSH and 10 aides go to jail. With her and the Guardian and other key executives in jail and LRH hiding, elements of the Sea Org moved in to take command. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (26))

The last thing done by Miscavige is a complete corporate restructuring. He says he does this to ensure a “new GO” could never come about. He says the GO had become entirely autonomous and corrupt. He says part of the measures taken to ensure a similar situation could never occur again was the formation of Religious Technology Center (RTC). (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (33))

The first series of technical training films released. (CofS)

Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Las Vegas founded. (CofS)

1981, 1 October 

Lenske claims that he was "informed" by "Hubbard" of Hubbard's "overall desires with respect to his estate plan, and particularly with respect to his intellectual properties." Well, that means, minimally, the creation of CST, of Author Services, Inc. (ASI) for a "Business Management Agreement" with ASI, of a new Will, of Author's Family Trust, and of Religious Technology Center (RTC) so the Advanced Technology and marks could be (fraudulently) "given" to RTC. In other words, Lenske is saying that L. Ron Hubbard is the one who dreamed up the entire fraud that ensued (and which the IRS has blessed with exemption) and informed Lenske of it. So how did he "inform" Lenske of this "estate plan?" Where is this incredibly intricate (and fraudulent) estate plan from Hubbard, spelling out the disposition and distrubution of his copyrights and trademarks to CST? IRS gave CST and all the corporations created as a result of this "estate plan" tax exemption, so IRS has a copy. (http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/washubbard.html)

1981, 8.10.

On 8 October 1981, Flag Conditions Order 6439 issued at Flag G.O., W.W., Folos Continental, G.O., S.O., Orgs G.O., LRH Comm and Flag Reps, lists the status of Fred Hare, Jane Kember, David Gaiman, Herbie Parkhouse, Henning Heldt, et alia, that many of them have resigned from post entirely. Others have simply been busted.  

In between the 5 August '81 Comm Ev on the G.O. people and the eval, Franks was very busy. At the same time, he was trying to handle the 'Get High on Yourself' program, which was a major celebrity program involving Cathy Lee Crosby and Bob Hope. Cathy Wasserman was organizing this. And the result was some national television coverage. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, 13 October 

1981, Nov.

Peter Green: And somewhere in November of '81, Franks kept his promise and organized the first Mission Holders Meeting at Flag. This meeting, which he and Alan Walter had dreamed up to get into comm with, and connect up, the Mission Holders, and the Mission Holders who had been kicked out and the ones who were no longer active, was part of the revitalization program and he wanted to brief them.

And Gordon Cook, who was the new Controller, who was now wearing Mary Sue's hat as Controller, was there and Jens Borgward from the CMO was there. And the first ARC break came when the Mission Holders arrived and the meeting started. Diana Hubbard was there, and Bill Franks was absent. He'd called the meeting and he wasn't there. When asked what was happening we were told that he had been called to Int for some kind of consultation or whatever and was handling an ethics cycle on the 2D.

Jens Borgward conducted the meeting and Ray and Pam Kemp had been invited. When they got there, the story of what had happened to them in 1975 on the theft of their Mission and their illegal Comm Ev and their expulsion and so forth, came out. Admissions were made that the G.O. had gone off-policy and, at that point, Jens Borgward turned to Gordon Cook and said, "Gordon, I think you should handle this cycle." The Kemps had been declared public enemies of Scientology because they were suing the Church and their lawsuit was coming up at that time.

So Gordon Cook arranged a Board of Investigation, a Board of Review, and the findings were published as Sea Organization Flag Conditions Order 6453-1 21st of November 1981 Broad Public Issue, titled BOARD OF REVIEW FINDINGS - RAY & PAM KEMP. In this, it gave the background, and then it found that their whole handling had been totally off-policy, out-ethics.

They had been denied standard Scientology Justice and they were not, in fact, SPs, even though they had filed a suit with the Church and that the only reason for the suit had been because all other lines of justice within the Church had been blocked to them. And even the lawsuit was an attempt to get into communication. So, they were exonerated and were restored to good standing by this issue.

The recommendations in that 6453-1 included a special Board of Review to be inaugurated for a limited period of time, specifically to encourage and hear current Scientology civil litigants' grievances against the Church and seek to resolve these on standard internal lines wherever possible. This special Board would not replace any standard justice recourse actions, but would handle those incorrectly handled by past members of the Guardians Office or other units acting on policies not those of the Founder. The Chairman was Ron Anderson, Secretary Nancy Kass, and Member Nick Fine for Gordon D. Cook, Acting Controller.

This created a tremendous resurgence of hope in Scientology, and various litigants in the Field were dropping their suits, getting into communication. The Kemps were telling people: "Look, you can get justice in Scientology now, even with us. We were expelled and declared and then suing. There is a sanity. There has been a severe reality adjustment. There is a reform movement within the Church and Scientology is getting back its ethics and getting back onto LRH instead of Jane Kember."

This resulted in myself wanting to connect up, Carl Barney wanting to connect up, and it led to the establishment of the second Mission Holders Meeting.

Also at that first meeting, not only did Ray Kemp get restored to good standing and get settlement on his mission, but Bent Corydon, who had been fighting since 1977, was awarded the Riverside Mission back. There was a Board of Investigation there and he was given back the Riverside Mission totally and now is currently running it.

Now, interesting data. Right after that Mission Holders Meeting, Bill Franks watched Vicki Aznaran, CMO, writing an entheta report on this "terrible" Mission Holders Meeting that was being held at Flag. It was a scurrilous report, full of generalities. Bill Franks read it over her shoulders as she was typing it, and said: "Vicki, what the hell is this? You know this is not true, you were not even there." She went out of comm with him.

So the first attack on the Mission Holders Meeting and this reform, came, as far as we can determine, from Vicki Aznaran in the CMO. She is now running and clearing up the US. G.O. She is in Sea Org, CMO running the G.O. at this time. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, 1 November 

Church of Scientology International (CSI) founded as the mother church of Scientology. CSI is the corporation which houses international Church management. (CofS)

19 November 1981: 

The Church of Scientology International (CSI)--which is only supposedly the "mother church" for all of Scientology--is incorporated, also a work product of Lenske, Lenske & Heller. When and how did "Hubbard" give his approval for this corporation to house the Executive Director International, the Office of Special Affairs, the Executive Strata forScientology? Who obtained the approval? Where is it? IRS gave CSI tax exemption, so IRS has a copy. (http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/washubbard.html)

1981, Late 

David Mayo receives many messages from LRH over the next eight months.

Amongst other things, LRH suggested that Mayo develop a Happiness Rundown, which Mayo did. When the rundown and course was complete, auditors and C/Ses from around the world came to ASHO where Mayo personally taught the course and interneship. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (18, 36))

1981, December 

According to Miscavige, LRH had no knowledge of MSH resignation and the disbanding of the GO until 5 months later.  (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (33)) This would place his being informed in December. DM says LRH had two reactions:

1. He felt satisfaction that ethical Scientologists had shown initiative and acted.
2. On the other hand, the actions of the GO and Mission Holders, and the inaction of some of the ecclesiastical staff caused him great concern about the future of the religion and how it would accomplish its mission in his absence when he was no longer alive in body.

DM says he was not involved in the corporate restructuring. He says LRH insisted on handling his own affairs with regard to his relationship with the religion as its Founder. As the source of the religion’s Scriptures, LRH held the intellectual property rights of Dianetics and Scientology, through the ownership of both the religious trademarks and the copyrights to the Scripture. To accomplish his goal in seeing to the future of the religion he founded, LRH employed his own attorneys to be the architects of his estate planning. It was under these circumstances that two brand new churches came into being. (RTC & CST)

Having learned of GO corruption and having learned that several responsible persons in ecclesiastical management had failed to act, LRH determined that the future of the religion could not depend on a management body alone. To ensure he could maintain the standard and orthodox practice of the religion, LRH had registered all of the Dianetics and Scientology trademarks. While ecclesiastical means would most often suffice to see to orthodoxy, trademarks also provided a legal means to prevent unorthodox use. 

Over the years, many individuals had attempted to create splinter churches of Scientology, using a perverted version of the subject. Through the legal power of the trademarks, such offshoots could be prevented or at least prevented from misleading people by representing themselves as orthodox Scientology. LRH decided to donate the trademarks to the religion but he insisted that any church to whom he donated them be entirely independent of any management body involved in the day-to-day affairs of ministering to the religion and its parishioners. RTC was created for this reason – to receive the Dianetics and Scientology trademarks and thus be responsible only for orthodoxy.

LRH also wanted to ensure his copyrights to the extensive library of Scientology Scripture would be used for the benefit of the religion, and not for the benefit of any one person or persons. And again, while ecclesiastical means would usually be all that was needed to maintain orthodoxy, LRH had always employed the copyright laws as a means to legally enforce his rights to prevent alteration of his materials by others. 

Also, LRH had often spoken of archiving the Scriptures of Scientology in the event of a catastrophe. Harking back to the concern for the future of the religion and in light of the events of the early 1980s, LRH furthered reasoned that yet another independent church body should receive his copyrights.

Even though RTC would be the recipient of his trademarks, and charged only with the orthodox application of the religion, LRH felt that even those duties could distract them from the ultimate preservation of the religion through archiving its materials in indestructible form.

In an abundance of caution, should any church organization be corrupted again, he determined that no church should hold both the trademarks and the copyrights. Thus, to receive his copyrights, Church of Spiritual Technology was formed. CST’s function is purely archival in nature. CST preserves the written Scripture on stainless steel plates, the recorded word on nickel plated recordings, and places all of it in titanium containers stored in vaults constructed to withstand nuclear explosions or other cataclysmic events.

CST also stands as the ultimate safeguard of the Scientology religion should the entire religion, even RTC, ever deviate from the pure Scientology religious teachings.

The GO had already demonstrated the danger of corrupt officials. While powers of persuasion and internal justice procedures had corrected the GO problem, this safeguard was considered insufficient should a similar problem recur in the future. LRH reasoned that involvement in day-to-day affairs was the only way any individual could ever be seduced into unethical activity.

Hence, LRH suggested that these new church corporations should have Trustees. As Trustees, they we would have no authority in the conduct of corporate affairs, with neither the ability to give orders or directions, nor perform any corporate activities whatsoever. Their only authority would be to appoint or remove directors.

Since they would not be involved in corporate affairs it was expected they would not become involved in any potential corporate malfeasance or dereliction of corporate duties and bylaws. Since there would be several Trustees, no individual Trustee could subvert the corporate structure or Board of Directors by moving themselves into a position as a Director. As a result, there would be layers of safeguards ensuring corporate integrity, while also providing a mechanism to ensure no church could ever again be corrupted without a mechanism for rectifying the problem. 

The restructuring of other churches of Scientology was not part of LRH’s estate plan, although it evolved out of the same desire to ensure the future of the religion, not just following the death of its Founder, but for all time.

RTC did not come out of Church of Scientology California, but was a brand new organization, established precisely because the role it is charged with performing did not exist in the religion and the religion almost collapsed because no church performed that function. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

Bill Franks holds a Mission Holders conference to address expansion plans for the religion. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

Not at all. The intent was to recover senior Scio's that had left the CofS due to the abusive and criminal GO and SO acts.
Franks contacted me on my yacht, and asked for my help to recover these people.
I was also off lines and out of Scio., at the time running a $billion network of International companies.
I told him that no-one was interested in coming back unless the abuses were remedied. ie: The RPF, the brutal working conditions, the sleep deprivation, the poor feeding of staff, the price increases, the returning of stolen property, the admittance to the abuses, the elimination of kangaroo court ethics. etc.
Franks agreed to correct this.
I made 4 phone calls which resulted in 250 people coming to Flag from all over the world.
There was no mutiny....the was just an honest attempt to clean things up and restore trust.
What eventuated was a power play between Miscavige, Starkey the CMO and Bill Franks and the rest of the SO.
Miscavige and Co invented the mutiny rumor.
In my estimation DM and Co committed the destruction of Scio by the use of that false assignment.
By destroying and going back on the agreed upon corrections and thus betraying what was promised, 55,000 Scio's walked out world wide. Almost simultaneously. (correction of Alan Walters in an E-Mail on a.c.t in Feb. 2000)

There are two meetings, the first one in Clearwater, Florida, the second one in San Francisco. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

There were three meetings. 2 in CW - the 1st in Oct 81, the 2nd in Dec 81... The 3rd in San Francisco in Oct 82.
The San Francisco monstrosity caused the end of the Mission Network as a power.
Not only did DM and Co. destroy a powerful network, they destroyed the lines that cleaned up the field upsets, and cut to pieces the recruiting lines and facilities that provided an approx 3,000 hatted staff a year into the Orgs world wide.
This also destroyed the publics ability to get trained on basics. (correction of Alan Walters in an E-Mail on a.c.t in Feb. 2000)

Miscavige says he was invited to their meeting to give them an explanation of what happened to the G.O. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

Crap!
We demanded Miscavige come to explain why he and the CMO had tied Bill Franks to a chair and imprisoned him at Hemet just before the 2nd Mission Holder meeting. (correction of Alan Walters in an E-Mail on a.c.t in Feb. 2000)

According to Miscavige, this turned into a “mutiny meeting” by some of these Mission Holders. The Mission Holders were protesting new demands for more money and more control being exerted over them. With all of the shakeups and LRH being unable to appear the Mission Holders were threatening to revolt. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

Not true. The imprisonment of Franks during the Mission Holder meetings had left us with a definite mistrust of DM and the CMO. (correction of Alan Walters in some E-Mail correspondence on act in Feb. 2000)

Franks agreed to their plans to make themselves an outside advisory board to ecclesiastical management. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (37)) 

True. You must understand the people at the Mission Holder meetings were in fact mostly Class VI's, Class VIII's and the highest OT levels, almost all opinion leaders. They had built the majority Scio.
DM and the CMO brought about the schism by using abusive and criminal tactics.
They have continued to employ those abusive and criminal tactic to this very day.....consequently not only us who at that time in 1981 could see what this behavior would lead to, now the rest of the world is privy to DM's and Co's criminal and abusive tactics.
Now the powers in the world are seeking to stop the Scio abuses and criminality. (correction of Alan Walters in an E-Mail on a.c.t in Feb. 2000)

Let us go back to the famous meeting that took place at Flag at the end of 1981.

That meeting took some days and it was hot and heavy. In that meeting, forty-plus stat-producing mission holders grouped together in a room at Flag and placed Flag management in a lower condition. They told the management that if the situation was not corrected there were going to be splinter groups. They explained that there was a very very large disconnected, ARCx field out there. They explained that the suits against the Church were the Church's failure to Handle. This enturbulated some of the Flag management and rightly so. BECAUSE IT WAS A WRONG CONDITION AND INDICATION. The VISIBLE Flag management was not in a lower condition according to the data they had. Neither were the mission holders in a lower condition. In fact, neither party was at fault -- although both thought that the other was.

In spite of the enturbulation caused to Flag management from being assigned a wrong condition, the two groups started to comm and events started to occur to clean up the problems. The mission holders and other leaders were allowed to set up an office in FOLO. They (MHs) heard the cases of hundreds of Scientologists who were inactive, off lines, ARCx, sitting for years in a mis-assigned condition, etc. These people were contacted through public meetings held by the leaders. The meetings were hot and heavy because each of the attending persons was loaded with their own personal BPC from their own lost bridge. Through the meetings, lines were established, and each person was sent to the FOLO office so that the time and care needed for a personalized handle could be given, and the people gotten back on the bridge. These meetings were open to anyone and everyone no matter how long they had been out of the Church and no matter what they had done. Needless to say, the meetings were absolutely packed with highly trained OTs and ex-staff who were all inactive in PT. Over 20 inactive Class 8's were rehabbed the first month. The second major stat of these meetings was that people suing the C of S were contacted by the leaders of the meetings and other volunteers... The list was given to the Mission holders -- so obviously there was some co-operation going on, as well as permission to set up office in FOLO. It was discovered that each of these suits boiled down to non-delivery of the bridge. In other words, someone paid money but left at the end of the service in an ARCx about the delivery. It was found that each of these persons cleaned up easily on two way comm and proper indications and otherwise standard Tech and that they dropped the suit. Over 70 suits were contacted.

In these meetings a lot of charge came off. Some people came out of curiosity and got charged because they hadn't known about the upsets that existed. The huge majority of tone, however, was of relief, great relief, because one could say anything, be acked, listened to without eval. The person then was given a line to handle their grievance -- that line was helpful, not evaluative and interested only in getting them back on the bridge. That line was willing to take the time and space to do what was needed to be done (at no money charge) and that line was not willing to waste people nor were they desirous of it. That line also had the beginnings of authority to publicly indicate past slanders of persons by wrong conditions assignments, an action necessary to fully blow the charge for the person and the group. Also, these mission holders were highly trained people, thus able to as-is what would look to a lower-trained person like only "natter". Rather than "natter", an unbiased, trained person finds out lists, wrong whys, m/whs of nothing, wrong condition assignment, ARCxs on not-thereness, BPC, etc., etc. With only the use of "all ARCxs stem from MW/Hs" and not all the Tech on MW/H and ARCx, an untrained person would not, of course, be able to bring all persons in trouble to an as-is-ness.

So even without doing a lot of auditing on the inactive Scientologists, these meetings were producing a phenomenon in the field -- a few thousand members worldwide turned up in a few short weeks with many more on the way as the word got out. Also, the people threatening to splinter joined to help. Thus, a great resurgence of hope that the Church would stay in one piece took place. (Dane Tops Debrief)

1981, 3 December 

Church of Scientology of Winnipeg, Canada founded. (CofS)

1981, 6.12.

On December 6 of 1981, a second Mission Holders Meeting was convened. It was set up by SMI, Scientology Missions International, and I have in front of me an issue dated 14th of November 1981. It is a C.S.W. from Tina Meyers, who was Deputy SMI Liaison Flag to the SMI Officer Int Jan Logan, and it's called Operation Connection Number 3. This was issued as an SMI Project Order, issued to SMI Int, SMI Liaison Flag, info to the Office of the Controller, to the CMO Clearwater, to the CMO Int and to the Watch Dog Committee. It set out what the purpose of the meeting was: the project information, the call-in campaign, the operating targets, the vital targets, the primary targets, and it was to continue cleaning up the ARC broken field and get the Mission Holders active and connected up and carry on the good work that was done in the first Mission Holders Meeting.

Doran and I were not present on the first day. We were refusing to go to that meeting. But we received calls from Milt Wolf, from Bent Corydon, from Peter Scupholm, various other Mission Holders, and Carl Barney, who had had 5 Missions stolen from him and a total of 4 million dollars. And since Ray Kemp had gotten justice, and Bent Corydon had gotten justice, and Gordon Cook had talked to Carl and promised that he would have a resolution of his situation, would have justice, Carl persuaded me to go down there.

So we went, with Flag paying our expenses. It turns out that they billed G.O. W.W. for our air fares and expenses, feeling that that was just, since they were the ones who had done us in.

At that meeting it came out that Bill Franks who had convened the first meeting and hadn't been allowed to attend, had gone off to Int and had been placed under guard, 24 hours a day and had had his telephone bugged. And when this came out there was a furor because he had gone to get handling for an out-2D situation. And it turns out that the guy who was conducting the Mission Holder's meeting in Bill's absence had now married Bill Franks' wife, Jeannie.

I do not know the rights and wrongs of this and who had the out-2D. Later charges were brought against Bill Franks for out-2D with Cathy Wasserman, whom he'd been working with on the "Get High On Yourself" program.

But there was an outrage on the part of the assembled Mission Holders, field staff members and SMI personnel over the fact that Bill Franks was the ED, wearing Ron's hat. And who had Authority to place the Senior Management Terminal of the Church under surveillance bug his telephone and place him under restraint? Who in fact had the power to Comm Ev him or to put his ethics in? It wasn't that we objected to his ethics being put in. We wanted to know the command line. There was no policy extant at the time that placed the CMO as his seniors or the Watch Dog Committee as his seniors. We couldn't find out who was in the Watch Dog Committee.

Now, we were protesting that we were being run by an anonymous council. A generality like the G.O. and now this Watch Dog Committee. Who are they? What are they? What do they do? What's their function? What's their purpose? What's their policy. What is the scope of their orders? What issue from LRH has given them any power and authority. We wanted answers to all these questions.

We put Bill Franks on the spot and asked him to explain and he couldn't answer. We asked, "Is this Policy Letter that appoints you ED Int for life, in fact true, or are you just a figure-head. Who does these things? And he pointed to Annie Trascott, who was the representative to CMO INT and the WDC and said, "Ask HER." She squirmed & wriggled and didn't come clean and wouldn't tell us and complained that she was under attack.

What then happened was that Brian McKee, after a while, stood up and said, "I'm tired of all this. I'm tired of the depredations inflicted on us all by the G.O. These hidden data lines, hidden control lines. I am an OT and as far as I am concerned, this group of youngsters who are the messengers should be Bill Franks' juniors. They are Ron's messengers. In the absence of the founder, Bill Franks is wearing Ron's hat and therefore Ron's messengers should be Bill Franks' messengers and I am assigning them now a condition of confusion."

And he wrote out a condition of confusion on them and gave them 30 days to work through the condition and get upgraded by the Executive Director International. At that point, he passed it around and about 30 of us signed it including myself and Doran, most of the Mission Holders who were there and some Sea Org crew such as Frank McCall, David Meyers and Tina Meyers.

And so, the Mission Holders Meeting was supposed to have been Friday night, Saturday and Sunday and then go home. In fact, I think it lasted to the following Thursday because so much data was coming out, so much false data was being stripped. We had something like 200 people who'd come in from all over- from San Francisco, from Dallas, from Austin, from Connecticut, from L.A., i.e., org people, Sea Org people, G.O. people, mission staff and so forth. They begin to tell their stories.

Many of them were horror stories of being ripped-off, raped and black-mailed, or removed from post when they had upstat conditions. Or being given false ethics trips, black P.R. and so forth. And it was, in effect, running out the group engram. It was not, as was alleged, a squirrel-group engram-running. It was simply that the false data was falling away and the truth was emerging.

And people were blowing charge and they were coming back to the truth. For example, one guy will stand up and start telling what had happened to him in D.C. and another one will say, "Well I have some other data on that", and he tells his side of it. Somebody else will say, "I've got something to contribute here because this was what was happening. I, at the time, was on such and such post, I got orders to do so and so, and that was why you got done in because the order came from Bla Bla." Then Blah Blah would have to stand up and tell his side of it.

And it was a connecting up of people, many of them whom were OTs and NOTs people, and they weren't taking any bull shit and they were telling the truth and charge was blowing and truth was coming in. False data was being just blown to pieces and it was an incredible connecting up of people as a true group wanting to connect up with LRH.

And the one thing they were sure of was that LRH was IT and that most of these things were not LRH. They were perversions and corruptions on LRH and they had a feeling they could get Scientology back and get LRH back into Scientology.

And Sue Anderson, who was a PRO, stood up and cried and told us that Ron had not been on the lines and that her comm from him was being corrupted. She produced evidence of advices from LRH which had been censored, where paragraphs had been cut out, and where forgeries had been sent to her. So she thought he was on the line and he wasn't on the line.

And it was just one incredible series of blowdowns of learning the truth. So a demand was made that the CMO and the Watch Dog Committee should appear in front of this meeting and contribute their side of things and explain their relationships. What were their orders. What policy established them. What gave them the right to arrest and bug the telephone of the Executive Director International? Who were these people? Who were the Watchdog Committee and what powers do they have and so forth?

So they flew in, and there was David Miscavige, Marc Yager, Norman Starkey, John Horwich came in, and David Mayo, too. When they finally arrived, it was a fiasco.

At Alan Walter's request, both of the entire Mission Holders Meetings were videotaped to protect us so we wouldn't be misquoted. Also because verbal orders were being given, and if it is not written, it's not true.

For example, on the subject of the prices, somebody asked Peter Crundall of the Westwood Mission to, "Ask Bill Franks what about the prices." And Bill's reply was, "Well you have to charge enough to be a viable mission. But if you price yourself out of the market you will go bankrupt, so why don't you follow LRH policy in Volume 3 and work out the price. But remember, there is a second policy, which is you must not undercut your local Org. So get together with the C.O.s of ASHO and L.A. Org and work out a price for the area."

This, of course, was a verbal order, so we wanted things like this recorded. So it was actually written, it was written on a video tape. My understanding is that these tapes were taken by CMO Int and these are what were used to declare us and to allege a conspiracy to take over the Church and deny it to fully constituted management etc. So they were a double-edged sword.

One of the examples of what had happened was the Assistant Guardian from Austin Org stood up and told a horror story of how he had been recruited into the G.O. He had been a tech C/S and he said, "When I was trained in the G.O., my B1 hat pack was 3-1/2 inches thick and when we stripped out all the false orders and false tech, we were left with a half-inch that was LRH." He said, "Let me tell you what happened when I first joined the G.O. because I decided that I was a tech C/S and was doing well in the Org but I wanted to play a bigger game and run the 3rd dynamic engram instead of just one person at a time:

I went through an apprenticeship in Los Angeles and Jimmy Mulligan said, "What we have to do is get the goods on this guy, he's an enemy of Scientology. He's PTS and he's gonna attack the Church, so I want you to go through his folder and find out what you can."

So I did, wearing my tech hat, and I looked at it. Well, the fellow's in ethics trouble, so prior to that there must be some out-tech and so forth and sure enough I found it. There was the messed-up ethics cycle and prior to that there was a list that was wrong and I was very elated and I went to Jimmy and I said, "Hey I've got it, look what happened, the guy's threatening to sue the Church and prior to that there was this mishandled ethics which was gross and prior to this was a fuck-up in his auditing and here is the wrong C/S and how we correct it."

And Jimmy said, "Wait a minute, hold it everybody, hold it guys. Hey, we got a 'techie' in our midst." I wondered what he was talking about. "Yeah, we got a techie," and he said, "look son, that's not what we want." And for the next couple of hours I was degraded for being a 'techie' and I was told, "What you do is you go through the folder and I don't give a damn about the tech, I want the dirt, the witholds. I want the crimes we can use against him."

I went into degradation. And also in the next 2 hours I was blackened for believing that I could exteriorize. Anybody in the G.O. who thought that they could exteriorize in the G.O. was considered theetie weetie. Anybody who believed that there was such things as perception, that you could look down the hall and see into another, was completely discouraged-- "In the G.O. we're not interested in that, we're interested in facts, in documentation, in affidavits." From there on, that was the last time I made case gain.

And then Joe Leasa stood up and he started telling some of his withholds and his activities in the G.O. and Alan Hubbert got up and said, "In my 7 years in the G.O. I am proud to say that I never once committed any criminal acts."

And immediately, Darby Simpson said, "Well you did with me, on that cycle you handled," and he admitted, "that's true, well I guess that was illegal." And Renee Duke got up and said, "you really were illegal with.... and did this, and that was criminal." And he admitted to that, and then we tried to pull Alan Hubbert's withholds, but he wouldn't come clean and the room knew that this guy was squirming and witholding.

This second meeting consisted of about 5 days of grief, tears of people crying, of hearing other people's horror stories. Doran told the story of Lori's death. I told the story of the attacks on us at Saint Hill after we went there to disseminate NOTS and were the first NOTS completions ever to promote the subject in England.

Jan Logan came in and Doran bopped her and decked her with a right cross which brought in a lot of good indicators, and finally Jan Logan stood up and told the truth about what had happened in England and how Jane Kember had spent 4 hours explaining to Jan (when we were doing the data eval) that Peter Green was S.P. and one of the biggest S.P.s in Scientology. And Doreen Casey contributed that Jane had black PR'd me in 1968.

Other people who had heard stories began to contribute their data, and it turned out in the testimony that Jane Kember had falsely attested to OT III in '68, and had turned sour. All sorts of truths were coming out. Charge was being blown and the results of this meeting were some incredible products.

We revitalized some 30 Class VIIIs and about 60 Class VIs and these people were all wanting to get back into business. And Bill Franks was taking the stops off. He said, "Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it, provided it is LRH. Don't follow any illegal orders. Ignore BPLs. Ignore Guardian Orders. But if it's on policy and you've wanted to do it, then for God's sake, do it. And they eliminated the multiple mission charters and things like this. If you wanted to open other missions, then open other missions, and there was a huge expansion and revitalization mood and a huge renaissance feeling.

Artie Maren was there and was extremely excited and was going to put out a press release based upon what was happening and make the press right. Basically, his idea was that Scientology had gotten into the hands of a very few criminals per the issue Management Changes and that the members of the Church had now thrown out their suppressive management, meaning the old G.O., and were cleaning up their act. The press release, in effect, would say the 4th estate has done it's job. It has drawn our attention to these things. The FBI has done it's job. It has arrested the criminals, the courts have found them guilty. They're going to jail. Members of the Church never did condone these actions and have now re-aligned themselves to L. Ron Hubbard. And now there's a new management and a new mood and a renaissance within our Church.

And this way would make the press right for the past entheta, but now they could write good things about us and this was the whole mood. Now we're going to expand and we're going to get back to Ron.

Meantime, reports are flying from Los Angeles to CMO and from other people at Flag up to CMO that there is a revolution and a mutiny going on. Vicki Aznaran's writing reports, people are sending telexes to their staff saying to return immediately, do not support this mutiny - what mutiny? Come back to base.

Joe Leasa was ordered back to U.S. GO. He stood up and he said, "If you're looking for a plant in this meeting, don't look any further. I'm it. I was sent out here to find out what you guys are doing and to infiltrate this meeting." And he began to come up with his withholds. He said that when he was ordered back to Los Angeles he sent them a message saying, "No, you come here, this is where Scientology is, we have LRH in our midst and you come and join us."

When he got back he was declared type III and he was put through an Ethics trip. Basically, what was happening was that the false reports were being erased and blown. The 3rd dynamic engram was just disappearing as people reconnected to Ron and eachother and there was a tremendous amount of tears and people crying as they heard horror stories, it was on the 3rd flow. I mean I would hear what had happened to you and I'd choke up over your experience and vice-versa, and it formed, temporarily, a true group.

Then the CMO came in, having been thoroughly inadequately briefed, thinking they were coming to quell a mutiny. When they arrived, David Mayo first began to give a tech briefing and he was told, "David, that's not what we want, we want to get in comm with you guys." And then Norman Starkey stood up and began to handle us by reading What is Greatness - it was totally out of R, you know- it was like you've got to forgive the people you're mad at.

Then finally I stood up and said, "Gentlemen, can I be your spokesman for a few minutes?" The group said "Yea". And I said, "Gentlemen, you're inadequately briefed, you've come here with totally a wrong idea of what's been happening for the last 5 days. This is not a mutiny. We have shed tears. We have bled together. We've suffered together and we have reconnected and we want to connect with you. We want to get our hats on. We want your hats straight. We want Bill Franks' hat. We want Gordon Cook's hat. We want our own hats back.

"And I suggest that right now we're out of ARC and out of comm because you're talking to a picture of something that isn't true and that we adjourn this meeting while you get a briefing and then we'll meet tomorrow."

So I sent everybody to bed and they went off and got a briefing. That night, John Horwich sat with about 10 Mission Holders, Marty Samuels, Bent Corydon, John Woodruff, myself and so on, and gave us the whole history of what had gone on in the G.O., including removing Mary Sue, Alan Walter and Dean Stokes. Others sat and gave a briefing to Miscavige and those guys.

And the next day we got together and there was an apparent EP to the meeting of "OK you guys, we understand you've got your hats back, you can do your job and blah blah blah." At that point, Bill Franks subsequently told me, "Right then I knew I was dead."

And we went back to our various missions and areas and we were told by Gordon Cook and by Bill Franks to continue these meetings. To set up these meetings in the field and let people discharge their charge and do what we'd done at Flag.

So Peter Crundall set up a meeting in the Westwood Mission and Helen Geltman set up one in New York. Someone else set one up in Columbus, Ohio and this type of meeting was held, where the fact was given that there've been two Scientologies. There's been LRH Scientology and there's been this squirrel black Scientology that has come out of the G.O. And that this is false data, and its lies and its criminality and people were beginning to blow their charge and do basically what we'd done at Flag and there was a whole new spirit and the result was that they did set up this permanent board of review.

Now one thing I should mention. At the first Mission Holders meeting the whole subject of the Bureau 1 files had come up: The lies about the Kemps in the B1 Files, the black PR against most senior Scientologists in the B1 files. Gordon Cook and Jens Borgward said, "I don't see any reason why they should even exist, these were to handle enemies of Scientology. They were never to be dossiers on Scientologists." And so Gordon and the others said, "You can go in and see your B1 file and burn the damn thing. There's no reason to have them." And so the B1 files were opened.

So I came back to Los Angeles and Doran and I were ready to go out and connect up and start a Mission. I arranged seminars. I arranged lectures. I arranged to go and do a speaking tour all across the country at new missions. There was a whole expansion movement. There was postulates of opening up. Peter Scupholme was gonna open up 13 new missions. Peter Crundall was going to open up two more missions in L.A. and so on. An incredible revitalization!

So I came back here and this was just before Xmas and I went into the G.O. and asked to see my B1 file and I was told that I couldn't see it. And I contacted Flag and they said somebody's put a stop on it. Allegedly, the stop was from the Watch Dog Committee. I was invited back to Flag by Div 6C.

They decided to use under the OPZ and the 4th Dynamic program to expand the out-reach of Scientology based on an eval done by Diana that had been approved, that had set up Operation 4th Dynamic. Not OPZ. Operation 4th Dynamic. And there were many new ideas of the bridge to the bridge. Of taking LRH stuff out directly to the public instead of via the Orgs, to go out with an out-reach. I can go into that program separately.

As part of this, Riggs Eckelberry wanted to do a series of power hats and he asked me if I would do the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course on video tape. And I also volunteered to do my power hat of the PE Course which I've used in every mission I've ever had. It's basically an LRH P.E. Course of how to reach the general public so that people could buy this videotape and use it in the new SMI programs and the new missions that were coming along.

And there was a whole "let's get the tech out, let's get LRH out". I was asked to do the Anatomy of the Mind data because I was present when Ron did the original Congress with the whole stage thing and I created Ron's mock-ups at the time, so we were flown back to Flag just before Xmas.

At that time I talked to Bill Franks and he said that the Mission Holders meeting was both a triumph and a disaster. It was a triumph in the terms of the products that we got. We got some incredible products: A revitalization and the International stats are just going out the top. But it was a disaster from a PR standpoint because we thoroughly upset the C.M.O. and they didn't understand what was going on. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)

1981, 9 December 

Operation-Transport Liaison Office Iberia established in Madrid, Spain. (CofS)

1981, 12 December 

Gerald Armstrong, the "Hubbard Archivist" working under Lenske, disappears, and 30,000 original, one-of-a-kind estate documents--all intellectual property of L. Ron Hubbard, including original manuscripts--later valued at a total of $5 million, are missing from the archives, stolen by Armstrong. Did Lenske, as part of handling "all aspects" of estate planning, bother informing "Hubbard"? Surely he did. How? When? (Or maybe Lenske didn't, since L. Ron Hubbard never bothered to file grand theft charges against Armstrong, instead letting it wind up in civil court, the estate having to pay Armstrong a settlement, through CST Special Director and Lenske law partner Lawrence E. Heller, just to get the estate property back.) (http://www.sc-i-r-s-ology.pair.com/washubbard.html)

1981, 15.12.

So he (Bill Franks) wrote an issue which is S.O. ED 1874 Int of 15 Dec 1981, all staff, Sea Orgs, non-Sea Org, Class IV Orgs, fields, missions and it's called MORE ON MANAGEMENT CHANGES.

And in this he tells something about the Mission Holders meeting, the field expansion, the team effort, the subject of the Boards of Investigations in recognition of the recent renaissance within the Church, the new on-policy and on-source reorganization and changes within the Guardians Office, and setting up a board to hear grievances from all persons who feel they are currently in conflict with the Church or to handle past conflicts that haven't been resolved.

Then, he also said that he wanted to set up an International Management and Field Advisory Board which would be comprised of opinion leaders and people in the field in areas of power, such as representatives from the Missions, such as Martin Samuels, a representative from the legal field, such as the guy who's doing judiciary Dianetics, and somebody from the business field. And set up an Advisory Board to advise management, meaning Bill Franks, on maintaining friendly relations with the environment - first policy.

And so the Advisory Board was put out by Lt. Commander Bill Franks E.D. International and again he's talking about the renaissance, the FEBC Program, the Operation outreach, the 4th Dynamic Operation and the back-up and support and so forth. You can read the issue. I mention that because one of the charges for which Alan Walter was declared SP was for setting up this International Management Field Advisory Board in an attempt to take over the Church and it was declared a squirrel splinter group.

I have here the International Field Advisory Board Admin Scale.

Goal: to broadly advise service and provide good counsel in assisting LRH Scientology Management and the field to maintain friendly relations with the environment and the public.

Purposes: 

to help individuals and groups attain the results that standard LRH Tech and Admin can produce when standardly applied. To bring to official notice and put on standard lines for remedy any injustices, flubbed cases, ARC broken publics, abuses of Rewards and Penalties P/L (3): to connect upstats and maintain that connection per the Power Formula. This was written and approved as part of the renaissance.

The Stats would be number of recovered Scientologists, number of new people in, number of new groups formed, number of new missions formed, number of new orgs formed, number of LRH books sold, number of winning team members, number of flourishing and prospering advisory boards, number of expansion opportunities identified and exploited.

The V.F.P. would be: Friends who flourish and prosper due to association and connection with other Scientologists, Management and LRH. V.F.P. is an expanded and enhanced World Scientology Community of OTs forming a true group of friends cooperatively and joyfully pursuing future expansion across the dynamics.

Sounds very squirrely and suppressive doesn't it? One of the cognitions we had at these meetings was that the product of an S.P. is enemies. An S.P. is surrounded by enemies and therefore he sees enemies and he makes enemies. And the history of the G.O. under Jane Kember's, Mo Budlong's and others' management had been to create enemies within and without Scientology.

Therefore, that's the product of a true OT and we've decided it would be friends, and Ron's first policy was to maintain friendly relations with the environment. So this was part of Franks' overall expansion and revitalization program and during all of this the stats were going up superbly. (Peter Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
