An open letter to all Scientologists: Issue III
Greetings and by way of introduction, I am a Class 8, OT 8, who has been in the Church for many decades and I am in good standing with the Church. I am a lover of LRH's technology and that is my motivation in writing you and in doing what I am now doing.
It came to my attention, sometime in the not too distant past, that the current top management of the Church, particularly David Miscavige, is off source. One of the ways he is off-source is that he has made the same mistake as the old Guardian's Office staff made, engaging in criminal activities to solve problems.
Furthermore, he and RTC have betrayed Ron's trust to keep the technology true to source. Along this line he has allowed thousands of alterations to LRH issues in books, HCOBs, and tapes. The attached time track gives some of the details.
I am not alone in this observation, there are hundreds upon hundreds of other Scientologists who also know this to be true and efforts to apply KSW within the Church have not yielded any positive results. Miscavige, being at the top in command, ousts anyone who tries to correct his squirreling of the technology by internal methods.
The Creed of the Church provides an answer. "We of the Church believe that all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments."
In keeping with that, a new group has been formed, an association of on-source auditors, loyal to LRH and his technology. We reject any and all alterations of LRH's technology by Miscavige, or anyone else, for that matter. The only technology we agree to practice is that which comes from LRH himself. Since this is unavailable to us at the formal Churches at this time, we are starting our own group to make this a reality.
Our first project is to get KSW point 1 in having the correct technology. We are currently working at assembling a complete, on-source, LRH library of the entire bridge.
When that is done, we will engage in the paramount - producing theta clears and beyond.
You will hear from us again in the near future. In the meantime, you can educate yourself by reading the attached time track.
Farewell for now

CRIMINAL TIME TRACK Issue III
Issue III makes corrections to Issue II, including any from the Church that are true. A list of sources are attached and assigned a number. The number at the end of a time track entry tells you the source of that data.
1954
The Church of Scientology of California is founded. It acts as the mother church. It is initially granted tax-exempt status. (1,15)
1 March 1966
LRH establishes the Guardian's Office (G.O.). He appoints Mary Sue Hubbard as Guardian. Between 1966 and 1981, MSH and the G.O. exercised total control over all Church assets, bank accounts, property, copyrights and trademarks. (2, 13)
One of the key policies applied by the G.O. is "Fair Game". It states that an enemy of Scientology may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued, or lied to or destroyed. (3,22,29)
1966
LRH resigns as Exec Director.
He sells Saint Hill Manor to the Church of Scientology of California. (15)
1967
The IRS removes the C of S of California from the roster of tax exempt organizations. The IRS says it is a for-profit business that enriches church officials. (15)
Note: How do they know that? Obviously someone on the inside gave them financial data. Who was their plant/informant? The point is, this shows they infiltrated the church.
LRH obtains three yachts and starts the Sea Org. He manages Scientology from there. (8, 15)
1969
In Founding Church of Scientology v United States, the Court of Claims found that some of the Founding Church's money inured to the individual benefit of LRH and family. This included a house maintained by the Church, a percentage of the Church's income, and other royalties and commissions. The court based its finding of inurement on informal loans made to LRH that were never explained.(15)

Decade of the 1970's
In the 1960's decade tech had fallen out to the degree that "quicky grades" were being delivered. That meant only one process was run per grade, so people were not getting the gains they should have obtained from auditing. LRH applied KSW and handled this, so that all processes for each grade were done. The result was that in the decade of the 1970's, orgs were teaming with people. Orgs had hundreds of people on staff and hundreds of preclears and students on lines daily. At that time - Scientology was fun. (9)
Decade of the 1970's
The U.S. Intelligence community is engaged in a psychic arms race with Russia. They are conducting mind control experiments and researching all kinds of psychic phenomena. Thus they were interested in Scientology exteriorization tech and other OT phenomena.
Hal Puthoff works for the National Security Agency (NSA). He joins Scientology and goes up to OT 3. After that he goes straight into the CIA-spawned "Remote Viewing Program" at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Palo Alto, California.
"Remote Viewing" was just another way of saying exteriorization, they are the same thing.
The other two key participants in the SRI "Remote Viewing Program" were Ingo Swann and Pat Price. Price was an OT 4 and Swann was an OT 7 (who also had a Top Secret Clearance with the military).
These three OTs conducted experiments to scientifically document and prove the phenomena of exteriorization.
The scientific method used to document exteriorization was this: Ingo Swann and Pat Price would have their bodies physically located at SRI in Palo Alto. A team of scientists would leave Palo Alto and go to some other physical location in the world. Swann and Price would exteriorize and go to the site of the remote scientists and take a look. Swann and Price would then return to their bodies in Palo Alto and accurately describe the location of the remote scientists in some other part of the world.
In addition to the exteriorization experiments, they conducted experiments that scientifically proved that an OT could influence a magnetic field with his thought.
Records of all of these experiments were kept and Puthoff then wrote a book about the experiments, entitled "Remote Viewing." (11, 61)

1972
Hal Puthoff is still the head of the CIA's Remote Viewing Program at (SRI). He remains the head of this program until 1985. Also involved is Louis Jolyn West, a psychiatrist who is a brainwashing specialist, and CIA ties going back to the early 1950's.
Ingo Swann uses his ability to exteriorize to spy on Russia, on behalf of the US Intelligence community.Pat Price was the best at remote viewing. He is said to have gone on from there to work directly for the CIA, with Ken Kress as his handler.
Later in time, Pat Price decided to leave his spy work for the CIA and return to SRI. He stopped over in Las Vegas and died of a purported heart attack in his hotel room. There was no autopsy performed, allegedly due to the persuasion of an unknown individual with a briefcase full of Price's medical records.
Ingo Swann then set up a training program to teach others how to do Remote Viewing. This, of course, uses Scientology exteriorization techniques, such as anchor point processes and Route 1 processes out of the LRH book Creation Of Human Ability.
To test Swann's program, CIA officer, Major Ed Dames, and five others go to SRI as a training group. The results were more than anyone had anticipated. Major Dames says that within 6 months the team members were producing psychically derived data with more consistency and accuracy than the most renown natural (untrained) psychics in the world.
Major Dames then acts as the Training and Operations Officer at the SRI Remote Viewing Program for "a new psychic intelligence community". In other words, they were using the ability to exteriorize for spying purposes. (11, 61)
Note:
In the 1990s, Major Dames offers a course in "remote viewing" (exteriorization) to the public for $4,500.00 a person. He also sells tapes about this to the public for $299 each. Although he is using Scientology technology to do this, RTC leaves him totally alone. Why is that, RTC?

1972
From 1972 to 1982, LRH and MSH created a Liberian Corporation called the Religious Research Foundation with numbered bank accounts in Liechtenstein. The RRF and these bank accounts were dominated and controlled by LRH. In excess of 100 million dollars belonging to the Church of Scientology was illegally transferred into the RRF accounts, for the personal control and use of LRH. This constituted unlawful inurement.
After LRH died, these funds were then within the estate of LRH where they came to be in the possession, custody and control of Norman Starkey, executor of LRH's estate. It is alleged that these funds were then illegally seized and stolen by David Miscavige in a fraud perpetrated on LRH's heirs. (13, 45)
3 December 1972
The Sea Org yacht, Apollo, has been under repair in Lisbon, Portugal. LRH meets Jim Denkelsey and Paul Preston there and they fly to the U.S. He lives in Queens, New York for about 10 months before returning to the ship. (8)
June 1973
Due to attacks on Scientology around the world, that stemmed from false reports being circulated by government agencies, LRH writes the Snow White program. The program called for actions to be taken by the Church to "legally expunge" these false reports from government files around the world. (71)
The Snow White program assigned the G.O. Intelligence Bureau to obtain all government files on Scientology.(8,70)
15 September 1974
Cindy Raymond is working for the United States Guardian's Office Intelligence Bureau located in Los Angeles. To comply with the Snow White program, Cindy recruits Gerald Wolfe to infiltrate the IRS offices in Washington D.C.
18 November 1974
Gerald Wolfe is hired as a clerk by the IRS in Washington, D.C. For the next two years, he and Michael Meisner steal and copy IRS and Department of Justice files on Scientology. Many illegal acts were committed. Electronic intercepting of oral IRS communications, forging government passes, infiltrating the government, stealing records belonging to the IRS, Justice Department, and the US Attorney's Office.
Note:
They found the OT materials in government files more evidence the church was infiltrated.
-5-
It should be understood that the Guardian's Office had an Intelligence Bureau. It was this Bureau that committed various crimes. This Bureau investigated enemies of the Church, including infiltrating enemy groups with spies. It was charged with obtaining enemy files on the Church. It was common for illegal methods to be used to obtain enemy files, such as using lock picks and even breaking and entering.
The Intelligence Bureau was also charged with handling enemies and has its own tech for doing so. Part of its tech was to try and locate crimes that had been committed by the person attacking Scientology and have them arrested for those crimes. If no actual crimes could be found, then black operations were used to set the person up for crimes he actually did not commit. An example would be planting illegal drugs on him and calling the police, who would arrest him for possession of illegal drugs. (10,29)
Other Intelligence Bureau handling tech was to use hate and protect buttons. The way this worked was to find out what the enemy's boss hated and then set up circumstances to make the enemy guilty of those things in the eyes of his boss. If his boss hates homosexuals, the black operation would be to have homosexuals call the boss at work and ask to talk to the enemy. The end result was to make the boss think the enemy was a homosexual, hate him for it, resulting in the boss firing the enemy.
Another example of a black operation, using the protect button. Find out what the enemy is trying to protect and threaten it. Let's say the enemy is trying to protect his marriage. Threaten to destroy his marriage. Have a prostitute call the wife and say she slept with the enemy. The end result is the enemy stops attacking Scientology to protect his marriage. (10,13)
Following are a few of the actual black operations done by the Intelligence Bureau:
Paulette Cooper wrote an anti-Scientology book. Intelligence agents mailed out a bomb threat on her stationary, making it appear that Cooper had done it. This got the FBI after her. Another intelligence operation was done to Cooper. An agent became her boyfriend. The boyfriend then reinforced and played upon Cooper's suicidal tendencies in the hopes that she would commit suicide. (22)
In 1976 Clearwater Mayor Gabe Cazares was involved in litigation with the Church. One of the intelligence black operations run on him was an attempt to implicate him in a staged hit and run accident. Another intelligence operation done on him was that arrangements were made to have an attorney by the name of Merril Vannier, a Scientologist, represesent Mr. Cazares and sabotage his case. (22)
The above gives you a clear picture of the daily work of
Scientology's Intelligence Bureau.
The disbanding of the G.O. did not change any of this, it operates exactly the same way now. Scientology's criminal intelligence bureau is run by the Religious Technology Center. (13, 22,26,27,29, 30, 42)
-6-
1975
Jacqueline Van Der Linde and others move in to Clearwater, Florida under the cover of a front group called "The United Churches of Florida". Their real purpose is to establish the Flag Land Base there, which they do. Attacks from the Clearwater community result when they learn that the United Churches of Florida is a front for the Church of Scientology. (8)
During this time MSH has several flaps with Pat Broeker over financial matters and she busts him off of several posts. (Pat Broeker is a Sea Org member posted in CMO.)
During 1975 & 1976, while Wolfe and Meisner were stealing IRS documents, Meade Emory is the Assistant to the Commissioner of the IRS. This is important because in 1982 Meade Emory is a co-founder of the Church of Spiritual Technology, which comes to own all of the Scientology copyrights after LRH's death! (15, 16, 59)
30 June 1976
Gerald Wolfe is arrested by the FBI for use and possession of a forged government pass. This eventually leads to a warrant on Michael Meisner, who eventually defected and told them about their criminal actions in the Snow White program. This results in the 1977 FBI raid. (26) Note: Who tipped the FBI off about Wolfe?
1977
At this time Scientology has two management arms. The Guardian Office for external affairs and the Commodore's Messenger Organization (CMO) for internal affairs. The Guardian's Office was run by Mary Sue Hubbard. CMO ran Scientology itself, under the direct command of LRH, contrary to public statements that he had resigned all management responsibilities in 1966. (29)
7 July 1977
The FBI raids USGO. They obtain box loads of evidence that proves the crimes of Scientology's intelligence bureau. MSH and 10 others are later convicted and go to jail. Thus, the beginning of a group engram was laid in.
LRH and MSH are living together in La Quinta, California at the time. They spend the next week discussing how to handle their legal situation. Then, he leaves La Quinta with Pat Broeker and goes to Sparks, Nevada. (8)
After the raid, the USGO Intelligence bureau had nightly all hands to destroy evidence of crimes in their remaining intelligence files. It went on for months. At the same time, Vicki Aznaran participates in a massive document destruction program undertaken to destroy any evidence that LRH controlled Scientology. Vaughn Young also participated in all of this destruction of evidence. (22, 30)
-7-
July 1977
Shortly after LRH arrived in Sparks, cash was needed so Pat Broeker contacted his soon-to-be-wife, who was the Deputy Commanding Officer of the CMO in Clearwater. They arranged between them for Annie to bring one million dollars in cash from the church. Annie brought the cash to Pat in a briefcase, and turned it over to him at an airport. (8)
This is the point where Broeker starts to cut the line between LRH and MSH by editing letters between them. Over time, Miscavige and Broeker systematically eliminate all of LRH's comm lines except their own. Gradually, every single person with whom Ron has a comm line, including his wife and children, must communicate via the Broekers. Finally, the Broekers are the only ones in direct comm with Ron. (8)
1977
The IRS issues a notice of deficiency (regarding tax exemption) to the Church of Scientology of California. CSC appeals the decision. (15)
2 January 1978
LRH arrives back in La Quinta and MSH has to leave because she is under FBI scrutiny. (8)
1978
In Founding Church of Scientology v Webster, the church sued FBI director William Webster, alleging that the FBI was harassing Scientologists for no permissable reason.
The church filed this complaint in 1978, the same year in which MSH and eight other high ranking Church officials admitted in a plea agreement that "the network of Scientology organizations had conducted a broad campaign against US government entities particularly the IRS." The court noted that the same government investigations the Church complained about were justified by, and a result of, the church's own illegal behavior. (15)
1978
LRH is convicted in absentia in Lyon, France. Sentenced to 4 years in prison for fraudulent claims he could cure physical illness. (54)
-8-
September 1978
LRH has another stroke. (He had his first stroke in June 1975.) Mayo arrived to give LRH assists and LRH was barely conscious. Dr. Denk told Mayo that LRH could die at any moment because his heart was not beating normally. The assists went on for 3 weeks and from those assists came the seeds that became NOTS. (8, 34)
Ron's illness was an additional excuse to further edit incoming communication to him to keep all this "bad news" off of his lines. (8)
NOTS is released this year.
April 1979
Mayo goes to Hemet, California and gives LRH assists again because LRH had just had a cancer operation on the front of his head. They work together on refining NOTS. (8)
Mid 1979
Annie Broeker is working for CMO in Clearwater. MSH is also there operating out of the G.O. Annie is meddling in G.O. affairs and MSH eventually has had it with her and forces her off post. Annie is then sent back to INT as useless on management lines. (8)
1 September 1979
A major change in church management takes place. The Commodores Messenger Org International takes over all church management and the Watch Dog Committee is set up.
LRH orders that messengers who hold management posts are not to stand watches for him, leaving them free to hold their management position full time. He ordered to send two messengers to work with him on a permanent basis who are of no great value on management lines. The two people chosen are Pat and Annie Broeker. (8)
David Miscavige is posted as Action Chief in CMO International. (33)
15 December 1979
LRH executes a will. Ron's tax lawyer, Norton S. Karno is named as Executor. (53)
-9-
Late February 1980
LRH is living in Hemet, California a few miles from Gilman Hot Springs where Mayo is. He is auditing Solo NOTS and sending his daily sessions to Mayo. Mayo does any review auditing needed on LRH.
The Tampa Grand Jury is convened. Fearing indictment in the Snow White case, LRH leaves the base in Hemet, and goes into hiding for the last 6 years of his life. The only people he could see taking with him, because they were not needed on management lines, were Pat and Annie Broeker. This was the last time LRH was seen. (8)
Mary Sue and 10 others are indicted for conspiring to steal federal government documents. It was only by the narrowest of margins that LRH was not indicted but he was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. (26)
One of the purposes of the GO was to keep any legal threats "at arm's length" from LRH. However, the incriminating documents obtained in the FBI raid opened a floodgate of lawsuits naming LRH because it was now clear the entire organization was operating under his command. Thus he remained in hiding to avoid any subpoenas. (26)
While in seclusion, LRH is engaged in research and writing. Over the next few years he writes 11 science fiction novels. (37)
1980
Julie Mayo becomes SNR C/S INT Assistant. She helps SNR C/S INT, David Mayo, write Solo NOTs. She also personally wrote some of the original Solo NOTs checksheet. (18)
-10-
Summer 1980
Back in 1975, when GO intelligence agents infiltrated the federal government and obtained their files on Scientology, it was discovered that the old OT levels were in the hands of the federal government. Even the IRS had a copy of the old OT levels in their files.
Remember the earlier part of this time track about the CIA's "remote viewing" program at Stanford Research Institute, (which is not shut down and continues to operate). The U.S. Intelligence community was in the business of making "psychic spies". They were using LRH technology to create people who could exteriorize and then spy for them. Therefore, they took an interest in the OT levels and obviously infiltrated the Church and stole the old OT levels and used them to make their own OTs.
But, with the development of NOTS and the new OT levels, the U.S. intelligence community did not have this material yet. Therefore, they sent in a new plant to steal the new OT levels. The plant was sent in by US Air Force Intelligence. There were over 100 men waiting to do the new OT levels at an Air Force base in Georgia.
The plant started out by stealing technical materials from ASHO and sending it back to the Air Force base in Georgia. The plant was then attempting to get on AOLA lines to steal the new OT levels, when he was caught by GO security personnel.
The plant knew about the Remote Viewing Program at SRI. The plant said that the U.S. Intelligence community considered Scientology to be a national security threat. The reason they consider it a threat is that beings who can exteriorize could spy on them. Furthermore, the guidance system on nuclear weapons is a magnetic field and it was proven at SRI that an OT can influence a magnetic field with his thought.
Therefore, the U.S. Intelligence community wanted the new OT levels in their hands. They wanted the new OT levels, not only for their own international spying, but for nuclear war defense. They thought that if Russia fired nuclear missiles at the U.S., that their OTs could make them turn around and go back down the hole it was fired from. (10)
1981
Delivery of OT 7, SOLO NOTS, begins.
-11-
January 1981
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. (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. (8)
March 1981
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. (29)
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. (15)
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. (33)
April 1981
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. (33)
Note: This is nuts. The raid had already happened. It was no secret that the G.O. had crimes. Indictments from Grand Juries had been handed down and the G.O. had already admitted guilt in a plea bargain. LRH was with MSH on the day of the raid and they spent a week discussing what to do. So, LRH would not have been wanting to "infiltrate" the G.O. to "make the discovery" the G.O. had crimes. He already knew. And, if he wanted the G.O. taken apart, all he would have needed to do was tell MSH that and she would have complied. (22)
This adds up to a CMO conspiracy to seize all that LRH & MSH owned, with the Broekers and Miscavige as the key participants, (and a few co-conspirator attorneys).
-12-
May 1981
MSH is Controller and she holds control over the corporate structure of Scientology, as well as all of the trademarks and copyrights. (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.(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. (15, 16, 59)
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"
June 1981
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. (8, 33)
June 1981
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. (13)
-13-
1 July 1981
David Miscavige arranges a meeting with Mary Sue Hubbard, based on a lie. He calls 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 he did 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. (8, 33)
Important Note:
The above is fraud. He obtained control through fraud. The attorneys gave her false legal advice to get her to resign and let Miscavige take over.
7 July 1981
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. (8)
This is also fraud. They tricked the Guardian into resigning and letting Miscavige take over by making her think that LRH ordered her to do it.
-14-
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. (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. (29)
Fall 1981
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. (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). (15)
-15-
October 1981
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. (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). (33)
Note:
As you will learn later in this time track, RTC is autonomous and is also corrupt. It is the "new GO". Intelligence and legal activities are commanded from RTC. The illegal activities of the GO Intelligence Bureau did not stop, they were continued by Miscavige and other RTC execs. (22, 24, 27,29, 39)
Vicki Aznaran says throughout her Presidency of RTC, that fair game actions against enemies were commonplace. Fair game activities included burglaries, assaults, disruption of businesses owned by enemies, spying, harassing investigations and litigation, abuse of confidential communications in parishioner files, destruction of evidence, etc. (22, 24, 42,13)
Lyman Spurlock is a Sea Org member who is also a Certified Public Accountant. Miscavige assigned Lyman Spurlock the task of sorting out the Scientology corporations so they would be legally defensible in the eyes of the IRS. It was at this point that the huge conglomeration known as Church of Scientology of California, was split into many corporations. Lyman worked out the whole shell, including the relationships between the different echelons.
This corporate restructuring is to obtain legal and tax advantages. The complex corporate structure serves as a shield to protect LRH from criminal and civil litigation. Its purpose was also to create an impenetrable, legally defensible network of corporations such that the IRS or other government agency could not "pierce the corporate veil" of Scientology organizations, thereby freeing Scientology management to transfer funds between organizations without concern for the law. (29)
In simple terms, the corporate re-organization is to hide the fact that LRH runs Scientology and personally receives the money from the Churches. (The non-profit money from the Churches is laundered through the profit making corporations.)

13 October 1981
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Author Services Incorporated (ASI).
David Miscavige is CEO & Chairman of the Board - Norman Starkey is President. (51)
Attorney Sherman Lenske, on behalf of Miscavige, Spurlock and Starkey and several others, incorporates ASI which becomes the corporate entity controlling Church of Scientology bank accounts and assets. In fact, the officers and directors of ASI possessed no authority from any Church of Scientology corporation to control its bank accounts and property. (13)
This was earlier called "Special Project", headed by David Miscavige and so is ASI. (29)
At this time ASI is higher on the chain of command than RTC. (22, 29)
Jesse Prince says that ASI, LRH's literary agency, is really used as the clearing house for LRH orders to Church of Scientology International, etc. (27)
The staff of ASI received their orders from LRH and his aide who lived with him, Pat Broeker. When DM was COB ASI, the staff of ASI commanded and ran the entire Scientology network.
From 1982 to 1986 LRH would dictate his orders into a dictaphone. Pat and Annie Broeker would take the tape to Susie Bennick at Gilman Hot Springs, Ca. She would issue despatches to various executives at ASI, RTC, CSI, CST and CSC. David Miscavige oversaw the transcribing operation and enforced compliance to LRH orders. While Miscavige was COB ASI the staff of ASI ran the entire Scientology network. ASI had complete control over the management of all of Scientology. (27, 29)
DM makes the following ASI appointments:
Terri Gamboa, Executive Director
Norman Starkey, Legal Affairs Director
Lyman Spurlock, Corporate Affairs Director
Vaughn Young, Public Affairs Director
Stacy Young, Organizing Officer

Vicki Aznaran says that ASI was incorporated to be the funnel through which profits from Scientology Churches were channeled to LRH. (22)
Stacy Young says that she and all ASI staff were instructed that making large amounts of money for LRH was an integral part of running Scientology. LRH's (perhaps Broeker's?) communications to ASI staff made it clear that he felt justified in taking as much money out of the Church as Miscavige & ASI staff could get away with. Miscavige's success or failure was based on how much money he could make for LRH, whether it came from the Church or other sources.
Accordingly, Miscavige made sure as much money as possible was taken from Church accounts. Treasury Secretary, Fran Harris, thought up "labels" which were attached to huge lump sums, which Miscavige then ordered transferred from non profit Church accounts, into ASI accounts every week. These labels were designed to conceal from the IRS the true nature of the transfers.
Miscavige made Lyman Spurlock responsible for working out the legal details of these transfers. Stacy Young, as Org Officer, often had to calm Lyman down after he had been ordered to legitimize some of Fran Harris' money-making ideas. Lyman said he had serious disagreements with Fran about the legality of some of her schemes. Miscavige would always tell Lyman to "make it legal".
The line was that Pat Broeker would tell David Miscavige to bring hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for LRH. Miscavige would bring the money in a briefcase to Las Vegas. Pat would meet him there and then take the briefcase of money back to LRH. (29)
November 1981
David Miscavige has Bill Franks locked in a room for several weeks while DM assumed control over all Scientology corporate bank accounts, and other assets. DM was represented by attorneys Sherman Lenske and John Peterson and paid them millions for their assistance in this unauthorized and illegal takeover. (13)

November 1981
Richard Murray incorporates Church of Scientology International (CSI).
The articles of incorporation state:
The corporation shall present and propagate the religion of Scientology as founded and as it may further be developed by LRH. (51)
The heads of the following CSI units comprise the "Watchdog Committee".
Sea Org (SO)
Flag Service Organization (FSO)
Flag Land Base (FLB)
Scientology Missions International (SMI)
Golden Era Productions (GOLD)
World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE)
Reserves
Celebrity Center International (CCI)
Office of Special Affairs (OSA) ---- the new name given to the Guardian's Office. (29)
Marc Yager is CO CMO International
Guillaume Lesevre is ED International
Ray Mithoff is Senior C/S International
Wendell Reynolds is Finance Dictator International
Mike Rinder is CO of OSA.
Heber Jentzsch is President of CSI and he has no command power at all. He is a figurehead and his duties are solely to deal with media and other PR groups. (29)
CSI is licensed by RTC and is under the command of RTC and ASI.
Golden Era Film Production studio is located at Gilman Hot Springs, near Hemet, Ca. This also houses CSI. It is called "the Base" and it is where Miscavige has his primary office and residence. It is an 800 acre facility that is heavily fortified, with a high mountain lookout, bunkers, and has assault weapons and bombs. (13)
Mithoff is said to have taken LSD 1000 times. He is said to maintain a secret list of deaths where the Scientologist was C/Sed to "end cycle", meaning let the body die. This has been done in cases where the person was terminally ill. (30, 77)

Late 1981
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. (18, 36)
December 1981
According to Miscavige, LRH had no knowledge of MSH resignation and the disbanding of the GO until 5 months later. This would place his being informed in December. (33)
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.
