Scientology Take Over

(Name Withheld)

In RJ 67, a taped communication from L Ron Hubbard to church members in September of 1967, Ron issued this statement.

Our enemies on this planet are less than twelve men. They are members of the Bank of England and other higher financial circles. They own and control newspaper chains, and they are, oddly enough, directors in all the mental health groups in the world which have sprung up.
........
And went on to say:
they apparently, sometime in the rather distant past, had determined on a course of action. Being in control of most of the gold supplies of the planet, they entered upon a program of bringing every government to bankruptcy and under their thumb,so that no government would be able to act politically without their permission.

..................

In 1950 Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard issued The Aims of Scientology, "A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology." Few outsiders are aware of this era of the church. Ron strongly opposed abuses in the name of mental health, and lectured on the evils of electric shock, lobotomies and drugs throughout his life. In addition to this, he was conducting research into Dianetics, which was based on the idea of reducing the effectiveness of tramatic incidents by having the person recount the incident exactly as it happened, until it didn't bother him any more. That subject is detailed in other books. E meters, devices resembling old polygrahs, were later used to uncover and zero in on hidden and suppressed incidents. This obviously did not go over well with the Pavlov inspired behavioral modification "sciences" of the day.

This description of the church as a place intent on service to humanity does not seem to describe the church today in the eyes of some. Why?

Ron's "war" with the IRS went beyond the church's measures to achieve tax exempt status, and was more firmly grounded in Ron's deeply held opinions of the wrongs of economic manipulation and duress by the creation of scarcity. Armed with an ethical view that ethical conduct is that conduct which contributes to the survival of mankind, one's group, his family and his self, Ron had given several lectures warning of the old trick of suppressing a group by the threat of scarcity. It is no surprise, then that he would have run-ins with the IRS. This however was a distraction to the primary goals of forwarding the aims of Scientology, not the primary focus of attention. In March 1966 LRH(Ron) resigns as executive director. He establishes the Guardian's Office (G.O.). He appoints Mary Sue Hubbard, his wife, as Controller over all Scientology organizations and the G.O. Between 1966 and 1981, LRH, MSH and the G.O. exercised total control over all Church assets, bank accounts, property, copyrights and trademarks. What should also be mentioned is that these were good times. One old time Scientologist compared those days to days of chivalry.

Jump ahead
To sum things up, things got out of hand. Someone in the GO hatched a plan to steal files from the IRS relating to Scientology. Later, they got caught.

In 1975 time MSH(Mary Sue) has several flaps with Pat Broeker(remember that name) over financial matters and she busts him off of several posts.

During 1975 & 1976, while GO personal 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!

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. Note: Who tipped the FBI off about Wolfe?

July 1977
Shortly after LRH arrived in Sparks, cash was needed so Pat Broeker contacted his soon-wife-to-be, 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.
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.

1979, October
Eleven Scientologists, including Mary Sue Hubbard, are convicted of conspiracy and imprisoned for between two and six years.

It was reported that at this time Ron went into hiding. This is, I believe an unsupported assumption. Yes, he may have had a reason to hide, but this is not in itself evidence that he was hiding. What we know is that

1. Communications "from Ron" were now being relayed via a few select communition lines.
   

2. Ron may have had a reason to hide.
   

3. We know that others of questionable credibility said that he was
   hiding.
   

4. Ron could not be found.
   

5. Some newspapers said that he was hiding
   

6. We know that communications were now coming "from Ron" which were entirely out of character, including a reported request for 85 million dollars "as payment to Ron for trademark and copyright use", Although this is a huge request and mentioned as being fulfilled by two sources, other sources either disregard the claim or do not mention it.

While "off lines" 11 new Science fiction novels are released, including Battlefield Earth. All were pulp fiction, and may or may not have been written my LRH himself.

January 1981
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."

Because this is so "confidential and sensitive", Miscavige forms a direct comm line with Broeker,b y-passing all of his seniors. Miscavige then began to systematically eliminate all of the other members of the All Clear Committee.

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 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(Mary Sue Hubbard, Ron's wife) were extremely bitter and he brags around the church for some weeks thereafter about calling her a suppressive bitch and some other names.

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.

(This is only one of the openly known incidents of forged "communications from Ron")

13 October 1981
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Author Services Incorporated (ASI).

David Miscavige is CEO & Chairman of the Board - Norman Starkey is President. 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.

This was earlier called "Special Project", headed by David Miscavige and so is ASI.

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.

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.

David Miscavige says that LRH had no knowledge of MSH(Mary Sue Hubbard) resignation and the disbanding of the GO until 5 months later. This would place his being informed in December.

1 January 1982
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Religious Technology Center (RTC). Miscavige is a Trustee of RTC, giving him the power to appoint and remove Directors.

The purpose of RTC was to hold the trademarks in the event of Ron's death.

What actually was accomplished is that the entire church and all Scientologists came under the authority of RTC by virtue of the fact that one's authority to use the trademarks could be removed at any time by this group. This essentially put David Miscavige not only in charge of the entire church but in charge of every single Scientologist. He could simply come down on any Scientologist that he chose to at will.

28 May 1982
Attorney Sherman Lenske incorporates Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) dba L. Ron Hubbard Library. CST is unique in that it is the only Scientology corporation known to have "Special Directors".

A 1992 United States Claims Court case says Sherman Lenske is one of the "Special Directors". His brother Stephen Lenske and law partner Lawrence Heller are also.

The same Court case says that there are 4 co-founders for CST:

Sherman Lenske, Meade Emory, Leon Misterek - all tax attorneys and non-Scientologists Lyman Spurlock: a CPA who is a Sea Org member

Sherman Lenske:
He was instrumental in the corporate restructuring of all of Scientology. He also drafted the new last minute will that LRH allegedly signed the day before his death, giving all of the copyrights to CST. Because of this CST has control over RTC, ASI, CSI and all Scientology entities. (It is said that the last minute will was notarized by David Miscavige and a handwriting expert said LRH's signature is a forgery. We will verify this.)

Meade Emory:
He was Assistant to the Commissioner of the IRS from 1975-1977. This was when Gerald Wolfe was caught stealing IRS documents for the Guardian's Office. As a result, the FBI raided, leading to the overthrow of MSH and dissolution of the Guardian's Office, by David Miscavige. Then, less than a year later, Emory is a co-founder of CST. And, CST ends up in control of everything that MSH and the Guardian's Office previously controlled.

Note: I smell something funny.

Lyman Spurlock:
He is the only co-founder who is a Scientologist. As a co-founder, he apparently appointed himself as one of the Trustees. Then as a Trustee he elected himself as a Director and then as President (corporate officer). Later, in 1996 he also holds the post of Tax Compliance Officer in RTC. (Per the secret agreement that Miscavige made with the IRS in 1993: this makes him an IRS agent too.)

Leon Misterek:
Little is known about this Seattle attorney. The only comment he would give about being a CST co-founder was that he did it when he was a law partner with Meade Emory.

How CST grabbed the copyrights:

The day before his death, LRH's will is changed, handing over control of his estate to Norman Starkey. Starkey's duties mainly concern transferring about 8,000 copyrighted titles that were left in trust by LRH, to CST.

After Ron's death, Norman Starkey gathers up every LRH copyright in sight for the next 7 years. Then, on 29 November 1993, right after Miscavige made the secret agreement with the IRS, he transfers them to CST.

Through a complex series of assignments and agreements, CST owns all of the copyrights to all works by LRH and all "based on the works of LRH" or "derived from the works of LRH". In addition to owning and licensing all copyrights, it possesses the right to seize all Dianetic and Scientology trademarks and all of Scientology's Advanced Technology.

"CST has the power to dismantle RTC by taking over the religious trademarks and use of the Advanced Technology, thereby gaining direct control over all Scientology Organizations..." Church of Spiritual Technology v. United States, 26b CL Ct.713 afff.991 F.2d (sic) (1992).

Thus, CST has ultimate power over the entire domain of all Scientology-related entities, including RTC. Jesse Prince says that the attorneys, Lenske and Heller, are also key players. If you talk about somebody that is running Scientology besides Miscavige then you look at those attorneys.

HCOPL (written by Ron)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..."

May 1982
LRH executes a new will,a mere few days after the corporate restructuring had taken place. He names Pat Broeker as Executor. (However, in the 1986 last minute will, the day before his death, Norman Starkey is named as Executor). David Miscavige is the Notory to this will.

According to a 29 June 1992 United States Claims Court document (CST vs. United States), as part of LRH's estate planning, LRH made 3 gifts to Scientology. The first two were inter vivos, and a third was testamentary. All three transfers were made, or in the case of the will, designated, in May 1982.

First, LRH gave use of the Advanced Technology and religious marks to RTC. These Scientology religious marks include the terms Dianetics and Scientology and Mr. Hubbard's name, initials and signature. RTC is charged with the duty to oversee lower-ranking churches to ensure they practice Scientology in an orthodox manner. RTC gave CSI a license to use the marks with any Scientology services sold by CSI on condition that CSI recognize RTC as the final word on matters of theological orthodoxy. As required by Mr Hubbard's gifts, RTC delegates rights to use the Advanced Technology and religious marks to qualified churches in the ecclesiastical hierarchy and then supervises their activities to ensure compliance with Scriptural requirements. In exchange for use of the marks, churches that minister the Advanced Technology pay RTC six percent of the contributions they receive.

Although orthodoxy is not clearly defined in the records, the court notes it has at least the result of requiring all churches to buy materials licensed through CSI, the current mother church. All of LRH's works are copyrighted with formal licensing arrangements made between LRH and the distributing churches.

LRH's gift to RTC was conditioned on RTC obtaining exemption under I.R.C. @ 501 (c)(3). Thus far, RTC has been found non-exempt by the Commissioner.

CST was created in 1982 in order to receive the second gift. LRH gave CST two options over the marks and technology which he had given to RTC. The first option is to take control of the trademarks on published LRH works and the insignia of various organizations. The second option is over the Advanced Technology. CST has the option, exercisable at its sole discretion, to take over use and authority of the Advanced Technology from RTC if RTC allows their use in an unorthodox manner. The third gift was designated in LRH's will of 1982. In it, CST was made the conditional beneficiary of the remainder interest of LRH's personal estate, after certain bequests to family members. The CST bequest included the copyrights to LRH'' Scientology works, and certain limited rights over the marks and technology that he had retained at the time of his gift to RTC. It also included all of LRH's non-Scientology works of fiction which continue to produce royalties.

The publishing rights and copyrights alone carry with them the rights to receive the substantial royalties which flow from sales of Scientology books and tapes to the public. These rights will provide CST with a sizeable annual income, but only if it achieves tax exempt status. These assets have not yet been distributed to CST, and they are accumulation income as part of the residual estate, which is being held by a pour-over trust.

As part of LRH's estate planning, CST was founded in 1982 by Lyman Spurlock, Meade Emory, Leon Misterek and Sherman Lenske.

One of CST's specific duties, unique among Scientology churches, is to create and maintain an archive of scriptures for future generations. The other stated purpose behind CST was to provide LRH, then still living, with a depository for the bulk of his testamentary estate, as explained above. CST's founders wanted to accomplish "the creation of an organization to which Mr. Hubbard would be willing to (and did) bequeath the bulk of his estate, and most importantly his copyrights and patents (which include copyrights to scriptures of the religion and patents on the E-Meter)."


24 January 1986
Suspicious Death:

Vicki Aznaran was aware that certain IRS indictments were about to be handed down against LRH. David Miscavige was under an IRS-CID investigation himself for conspiracy to commit tax fraud. Miscavige said, "the only way to stop it now is if the old man dies."

Hubbard was found dead at 8:00 PM, Vaughn Young was told at 10:00 PM. Vaughn went to the death site that night along with David Miscavige and some attorneys. They left LA at 1:00 AM and arrived at 4:00 AM. Vaughn says, since none of them had been there, including Miscavige, Pat Broeker met them at a restaurant and escorted them to the ranch.

Vicki Aznaran also went to the Creston Ranch. When she arrived Miscavige said that Ron is dead and he did not want to see "any grief bullshit about it."

The coroner's report says Ron died of a stroke. He had Vistaril (a psych drug) in his blood. He had needle puncture wounds in his left buttock, under a band aid. The coroner was suspicious of Ron's new-last-minute-will because it had been signed by Ron just prior to his death (with drugs in his body also.)

Ron's physician, Gene Denk, was gambling in Nevada when Ron had his stroke. Gamboa, Miscavige and wife and the Aznarans had taken Denk on this gambling trip a couple of weeks before the death and were there with Denk. By the time Denk returned, there was nothing he could do.

The impression the coroner got was that Denk was at Ron's side when he had his stroke and died. Denk signs the death certificate as the physician attending to Hubbard and then disappears for a year.

Note:

Denk is gagged from talking about the year he spent with LRH prior to his death. Why is that Miscavige? What does Denk know that you are hiding from the rest of us Scientologists by gagging Denk?

Earl Cooley had a document, signed by Hubbard, forbidding an autopsy on religious grounds. Miscavige and Earle Cooley give this to the coroner, so no autopsy is done and Ron's body was cremated 24 hours after his death.

The Coroner's report states that the Coroner terminated his investigation when DM and Dr. Denk arrived and showed him the 1982 and 1986 wills then convinced the Coroner there was no material difference between the two wills.

What Miscavige and Dr. Denk concealed from the Coroner was the following:

1. There was no disclosure of the change of executor less than one day before death.

2. There was no disclosure of the change in provisions regarding MSH and the last minute abrogation of her community property interests in the 26.5 million dollar estate.

3. There was no disclosure of the last minute change in the 1986 will regarding the copyrights, which comprised 95% of the estate.

4. There was no disclosure that two weeks before the death, LRH's constant medical attention had been withdrawn when DM and others took Dr. Denk on a gambling trip to Reno, Nevada.

5. There was no disclosure of the last minute will's inclusion of a new provision anointing David Miscavige, (the architect of the will and circumstances surrounding the death), as a trusted servant and friend.

Creston was where the story was put together that LRH had moved on to the next level of research. (In other words, for PR purposes, they concocted a lie.)

The execs applied the PR policy of "an acceptable truth" to LRH's death. They wanted to protect the idea that Hubbard was cause over life and death. They had to protect the myth at all costs, so they fed the myth by saying he was doing research.

February 1986

Hubbard's Death Announcement Event at the Flag Land Base

Presided over by David Miscavige, Pat and Annie Broeker and Attorney Earl Cooley

Their invented public relations story:

Pat and Annie Broeker say they were with LRH several days before his death and LRH said that he had to continue his research into the upper OT levels without his body(the OT levels refer to levels of spiritual ability. Ron had been doing exercises in the direction of increasing ability. These exercises were copied by the well documented Government remote viewing program, which, alone is evidence of infiltration of the church).

Pat says he was assisting LRH with his research into the upper levels and was privy to them. Pat Broeker says LRH left completed OT levels up to OT XV. Pat says he was personally in charge of them and was now a loyal officer under LRH's absent auspice. And that he and RTC were to decide when to release
them.

Cooley says he saw LRH's body at Creston Ranch and found nothing wrong with it.

(The Coroner's report proves that is a lie.)

February 1986

The Estate of L. Ron Hubbard is subject to the control of the Trustee, Norman Starkey.

He is a junior of DM. DM and Starkey make an 800-page inventory list of all of LRH's copyrighted works, close to 20,000 individual works.

DM says the probate of LRH's estate was important to him. Fulfilling Hubbard 's final wishes meant seeing that Scientology Scripture passed to the Church of Spiritual Technology.

Miscavige had Mary Sue Hubbard under "house arrest" in Hollywood Hills in LA. She had two Sea Org members living with her and they went with her everywhere and reported daily to Miscavige what she did every day.

Under duress, MSH made an agreement to waive her rights to her community share of the Estate of LRH. This is how Miscavige swindled Hubbard's heirs out of an inheritance worth 400 million. Soon after LRH's death, Miscavige takes Jesse Prince and over a dozen other Sea Org execs and invaded the house of Mary Sue Hubbard. She was recovering from lung cancer surgery and was in a wheelchair. Some of the other Sea Org members were Lyman Spurlock, Norman Starkey, Vicki Aznaran, Marc Yaeger, Ray Mithoff and Marty Rathbun.

Larry Heller was one of the attorneys there representing Miscavige. MSH was unrepresented.

Note: (He is one of the secret "Special Directors" of Church of Spiritual Technology.)

Mary Sue was made to sign an agreement wherein she was paid $100,000 to relinquish any kind of claim on the copyrights, trademarks, and bank accounts. Ron's children were given $50,000 each. She did not want to sign and Miscavige started screaming at her "You are going to sign it!"

Miscavige threatened to sec check Mary Sue and she said "No, I'm going to sec check you to find out what the hell you are trying to do to me."

Miscavige said they were running the church, its got nothing to do with her and she was lucky to get what she's getting. Miscavige said "Everything LRH did, he did for the church. We are the church, not you. Therefore, everything is staying right here with us."

The moment when she relinquished and signed the document, was when Mithoff made her feel that LRH did not care about her. She was sad that Ron died, because they had been separated and had not talked for a long time. She asked Mithoff, with tears in her eyes, if Ron had said anything, or asked about her before he passed. Mithoff said, "No, he didn't mention your name." At that, she bowed her head and they stuck the papers underneath her hand and she started signing. Mithoff bragged with great glee afterwards about how he got to her by telling her that.

Ron's children had already been similarly handled prior to meeting with Mary Sue, and they had already signed, getting $50,000 each.
