I thought I would share with our readers here, rough drafts of a beginning organization of information into a book format.
The information I am using is gathered from the combined efforts of my wife, myself, and the 123jump authors of Scribd.
The book Scientology Roots can be viewed as an Encyclopedia of Historic Events showing what Scientology really is and
its relationship within the larger Game Plan of what we call The Slavemasters. (or Enslavers) The carrier subjects
of Dianetics and Scientology are propagating the mental, religious, and political ideas of what some have termed The New

World Order.
Here is Chapter Thirty (out of 65 so far). Complete chapter listing (with links) is available at a special page for Series and
Books.

In 1968 some Scientologists took some confidential Scientology materials and left.
L. Ron Hubbard issued an ethics order on those Scientologists on 6 March 1968.
.
.
Instructions for distribution in the above issue included putting it in The Auditor magazine (to make sure as many people
as possible ostracized these individuals)
.
The issue itself came directly from the Advanced Organization aboard the yacht L. Ron Hubbard was captaining at the time
called the Royal Scotman and was issued directly by Hubbard as The Founder. This means that the materials stolen
were most likely the so-called Operating Thetan levels of OT III through OT VI, which had just been issued that same
year, (and only two months earlier) in January of 1968.
.
.
.
Just a few months later, on 29 June 1968, Hubbard issues a new Policy Letter titled Enrollment in Suppressive Groups.
Now it was Church policy to label whole groups of people as being Suppressive Groups, and Fair Game policy applied to them
also.
In my wifes The Brotherhood series, the article on the Corfu Caper (covering the activities of Hubbard during 1968 in Greece)
details that most of the same people listed in the 6 March 1968 Ethics Order are listed again in another Ethics Order on
30 November 1970 (except for three people, Freda Gaiman, Frank Manizy and George Wateridge are not listed in the
1970 Ethics Order)
Squirrel Groups from November 30th, 1970

The following is a list of squirrel groups past and present. Anyone found to have ever been a member, or
associate, or student or practitioner of any of these groups comes under the Policy, Enrollment in
Suppressive groups.

In some cases the groups no longer exist, but in many others they have simply changed their name and
carried on as before, in which case the group has not been disbanded by any means. In any event, the
final decision on whether a squirrel group has been disbanded or not rests with the Guardians office in
Bureau 4.

The following people have been found by their consistent activities to destroy Scientology to be
dangerous to Scientology orgs and staffs.
They are few in number compared to our own, but regularly create more havoc than would be expected
from their apparent spheres of influence.
We will not close the door forever on these few, but have withdrawn all forms of help as we are not in the
business of saving wounded water buffaloes. Consequently any attempt by any of these listed to get
back on lines, must be referred to Guardians Office Bureau 4 section for Internal Security. The Ethics
officer or whoever is covering will then handle as per advices given to him from bureau 4.

One might wonder why there would be a 2-year gap from the issue (just 3 months later in June of 1968) of Hubbards new
policy called Enrollment in Suppressive Groups, and the later Ethics order issued in 1970 on many of these same people.
This has to do with governmental investigations at the time (1970) into drug-running, money laundering, and smuggling ties
with The Brotherhood of Eternal Love.
(See Brotherhood series currently in progress).
In other words, the Scientologists were under a lot of heat from government investigations at the time and the Church
Scientologists were now trying to distance themselves from the people who were involved in illegal actions by declaring them.
It was a PR maneuver, not a change of heart.
It also established covers as expelled Scientologists for certain people, which we will cover in a later chapter.
Furthermore, it is a fact that Scientologists and Sea Org ships were engaged in drug running and drug peddling. Some were
even arrested for it. One Scientologist who was arrested was the head of the Pacific fleet of Sea Org ships operating on the
West coast of the United States Jerry McDonald.
Ron Hubbard had personally appointed Jerry McDonald to that position. Jerry was close with Hubbard and Jerry had many
uses to the Scientologists. Jerry was an ex-US marine, a CIA man, a mercenary, among other useful talents.
Just before Jerry McDonald came onto the Royal Scotsman (Apollo) in 1968, he had completed Power Processing

Anyone who has PT or recent connections with any of these people is under suspicion and the
information regarding the person should be forwarded to Internal Security Bureau 4.
His name is second to last on the list, next to Cathy Mullins.
.
By the way, most of the Suppressive Person declares have been issued on people who had Power Processing. According to
Hubbard, Power Processing handles a Suppressive Person. This is another example of how Scientology does not work. By
declaring people who had Power Processing, and by declaring Clears and OTs the Church has just admitted that
Scientology doesnt work.
Jerry, aboard the Makaira, (which he owned) was arrested on November 13, 1969, along with Brotherhood
members, some of whom were Scientologists also. Jerry was given immunity from prosecution as an informant, by U.S.
Customs agents (who likely had no idea he was CIA).
.
Jerry McDonald was not declared a
Suppressive Person.
.
His name was not on that long list of declared people.
.
Why?
.
Because he was.
.
one of the pack of (approved of) drug-smugglers.
.
.
Apparently, Baron Berez and Doug Rambo were some of the disapproved of drug smugglers their names are on that
list, as is The Brotherhood.
.
Although, in typical disinformation style (by Terry Milner Deputy Guardian for Intelligence Bureau 4 at the time)
the group isnt even named properly. This may have something to do with that Terry Milner is good buds with operative Jerry
McDonald, and is in on the whole smuggling thang. Not to mention that Terrys communicator was Grace-Marie Haddy,
who was all buddied up with this whole Drug Culture see my wifes Brotherhood article about that.
As I said, Jerry McDonald is not on this Bad Guys list, even though it is obviously known by Hubbard that he is smuggling
drugs Pot/hashish with The Brotherhood of Eternal Love (as were Baron Berez and Doug Rambo who are on the list).
Maybe thats because per Neville Chamberlain stoned Scientologists (including Mary Sue) were apparently de
riguer aboard the Royal Scotman during 1968/1969. Not too surprising, since L. Ron Hubbard himself was a user of street
drugs, as he stated in a letter to Mary Sue when he was researching OT 3 in Las Palmas. Several Scientologists have
witnessed and reported on Ron Hubbards massive drug chest and his use of illegal street drugs.

Note: Dart decides to leave ESMB (ex-scientologist message board) on January 4, 2011 is where Dart Smohen
reveals that he is Neville Chamberlain. For more information about Neville, Jerry McDonald etc. during the Corfu Caper
time, see my wifes Corfu Caper article. Both Neville and Baron Berez were busted (Hubbard liked to put heads on pikes to
distract his sycophants) for drugs. See Corfu Caper and Hubbard OODS item of 1968 documented by Tony Ortega in his

B. BEREZ
Goodbye, Mr. Berez. You who used ethics most wrongly were found with a huge tin of marijuana to be the most
out-ethics person aboard.
B. Berez, you were the longest aboard in all the out ethics days of the old RSM.
We can blow some charge on that.
So goodbye Mr. Berez. I trust you will soon go up in smoke.

Cathy Mullins, a cook on the ship at the time, discussed her personal views of Brian Baron Berez.

her comments on Berez.

I think we have found a somewhat current picture of Brian Baron Berez (feel free to correct me if I am wrong about that).

Berez can be found shilling various ideas on the internet at the New Civilization website of Flemming Funch, one-time Captain
Bill Robertson afficianado.
Neville once claimed that Hubbard had been replaced by a double named Ellis see Whos Who in Scientology [Part 1 of
2].
Neville, together with Frankie Friedman (who recently moved to our area of Northern Idaho of all places and is
part of what we call the Marty Party of independent scientologists and uses an assumed name of Frankie Freeman)
were referred to as Hubbards thugs (bodyguards) in disgraced former British consul John Forte (deceased) book The
Commodore and The Colonels. Neville was also referred to by Forte as a British professional boxer. Other documents and
sources that I have yet to bring up, discuss that Frankie was a former Mob (Mafia) pit boss in Las Vegas just prior to his
entrance into the happy drug-smuggling and money-laundering crew of Hubbards Sea Organization. Frankies wife back at the
time, was a former Vegas showgirl starring in one of their longest running shows (briefly, that is). Berez also came out
of Las Vegas to Hubbards Sea Organization ships, in 1967. He, Terry Milner (Guardians Office Intelligence man) and David
Ziff (editor of Advance! magazine) were all on the ship at the same time together, and completed Hubbards newly released
OT 2 in 1968.

.
The whole working relationship that Ron Hubbard and other Scientologists had with the MI 6/CIA gang in their
covert activities, including drug running, is a topic that will take up many chapters in this book. We are only mentioning
some of it in this chapter.
The Scientologists have tried to cover up their involvement in drug running by saying the government reports about it
are false reports. No, they are not false reports.
Now, just after the Makaira bust, is when Eddie Padilla and a few other of the Brotherhood members (who had just
relocated to Maui after all that heat on them) needed a better boat situation. Eddie was working for the major Mexican
Syndicate drug lord at the time nicknamed Papa Pedro Aviles Perez out of Sinaloa. So they bought a schooner out of St.
Thomas, named the Aafje, and Eddie met up with it at Manzanillo, Mexico in early 1970 where he proceeded to have it
loaded up with over 1500 kilograms of the finest Papa mexican weed. The Aafje itself, has quite a history, and my wife just
did a companion piece posting that details that history. Its called: The History of the Schooner Aafje.
.
.
With all that in mind Mafia Connections, trained Assassins under Hubbards employ, Mexican Drug Lords, feats of
derring-do on the High Seas- the whole nine yards -
.
This reads like a bad Van Kamp novel
.
I call your attention to statement number 7 in the March 1968 Ethics Order above, which says.
Auditing Process R2-45 (from Creation of Human Ability) uses a gun to kill someone, to make them leave their body.
It was considered by many Scientologists to be humorous and not serious by Hubbard. However, putting it into an Ethics
Order was not the same sort of thing at all, and was not really a humorous addition by Hubbard.
The Church of Scientology operates on a policy called Fair Game. Anyone seen as posing a threat to Scientology is labeled
as Fair Game and Church policy authorizes committing any crime against such a person, even murder.
.
L. Ron Hubbard expected Scientologists to have a certain attitude about Scientology -
Scientology is more important than everything else, even a persons life.
.
Scientology Technical Dictionary, Definition of Scientology
9. It is the one thing senior to life because it handles all the factors of life.
.
7. Any Sea Org member contacting any of them is to use Auditing Process R2-45.
Seniorto life.
.
Does anyone notice what is wrong with that statement?
.
.
He IS Life WE are Life.
Its not off somewhere else.
.
It is not some commodity separate from us.
.
HCO Policy Letter 7 February 1965 Keeping Scientology Working
Scientologists have been led to believe that Scientology is senior to everything so killing someone to protect
Scientologys image is considered as correct behavior.
The whole agonized future of this planet, every Man, Woman and Child on it, and your own destiny for
the next endless trillions of years depend on what you do here and now with and in Scientology.
There are cases where a Scientologist killed another person, but there are two such cases wherein the prime suspects are the
very top Church executives and the motive was them trying to prevent bad public relations for the Church.
In both cases, the guilty Scientologists employed underhanded methods to escape justice.
.
1966 L. Ron Hubbard was spending considerable time in Las Palmas. When Hubbard was in Las Palmas he established
the Guardian Office and the Intelligence Bureau on 1 March 1966.
Las Palmas is in the Canary Islands, off the coast of Africa. The U.S. has a SIGINT operation at a base in Las Palmas
Signals Intelligence is the interception of electronic emissions of all types to gather information. This can include listening in on
enemy radio conversations. The base is also used by the CIA to train, fund and supply arms to CIA guerilla warfare units in
various countries.
.
Why is Hubbard in Las Palmas?
After World War II, the UK and the US decided to create stay-behind paramilitary organizations, with the official aim of
countering a possible Soviet invasion through sabotage and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Arms caches were hidden,
escape routes prepared, and loyal members recruited: i.e., mainly hardline anticommunists, including many ex-Nazis or
former fascists, whether in Italy or in other European countries.
In Germany, for example, Gladio had as a central focus the Gehlen Org also involved in ODESSA
ratlines named after Reinhard Gehlen who would become West Germanys first head of intelligence,
while the predominantly Italian P2 Masonic lodge was composed of many members of the neofascist
Italian Social Movement (MSI), including Licio Gelli. Its clandestine cells were to stay behind (hence the
name) in enemy controlled territory and to act as resistance movements, conducting sabotage,
guerrilla warfare and assassinations.
.
In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Winston Churchill created the
Special Operations Executive (SOE) in 1940 to assist resistance
movements and carry out subversive operations in enemy-held
territory across occupied Europe.
.
.
Guardian reporter David Pallister wrote in December 1990 that a guerrilla network with arms caches had been put in place
following the fall of France. After the end of World War II, the stay-behind armies were created with the experience and
involvement of former SOE officers.
CIA director Allen Dulles was one of the key people in instituting Operation Gladio, and most of Gladios operations
were financed by the CIA.
.
.
The existence of these clandestine NATO armies remained a closely guarded secret throughout the Cold War until 1990,
when the first branch of the international network was discovered in Italy. It was code-named Gladio, the Italian word for
a short double-edged sword [gladius].
Operation Gladio was set up in 1958 with help from British Intelligence and the CIA, with funding from the latter. This
assistance continued, with Gladio units being trained in Britain in the early 1970s and by US instructors at a military base
in Las Palmas from 1966 to the mid-70s.
This is the EXACT year that Hubbard shows up at Las Palmas
.
~ 1966
.
What were Gladio people being trained in?
Gladios concern was with internal subversion and that it was to play a determining role not only in the general policy
levels of warfare, but also in the politics of emergency. The emergency as far as they were concerned was to come with
the growth during the 60s and 70s of the popular anti-capitalist movement, industrial unrest and an apparent shift from
centre to left by the ruling Christian Democratic Party.
In fact Gladio was deeply involved in the so-called strategy of tension in the late 60s and 70s.
The aim of the strategy, of which the principle tactic was terrorist outrages carried out by fascists, was to spread panic and
unrest and to directly attack the Left and provoke them into an armed response, which would both justify increased state
power under the pretext of a national emergency and isolate the Left from popular support.
The most important lesson to be learnt from the Gladio story; the whole Stay Behind network and the situation in Britain
during the 70s is that the right-wing establishment will, quite literally, stop at nothing to prevent a popular anti-
capitalist movement (or one perceived as such) displacing it from power.
Earlier chapters in this book clearly show that Ron Hubbard was an undercover operative for the New World Order people
the secret British grand plan to rule the entire world. They are who is being referred to as the capitalist right-wing
establishment in the above.
.

Operation Gladio served the interests of the New World Order people
-
as does Hubbard.
.
.
Late 1966 Ron Hubbard formed the Sea Organization, they operated many sea vessels.
The Sea Org and its ships would be used in support of various Gladio-CIA operations.
.
20 December 1966 The first ship of the Sea Org is purchased, the Enchanter, which was later renamed Diana.
The Gladio-CIA guerilla warfare units were involved in the military coup in Greece on 21 April 1967.
During the next six years the Regime of the Colonels, backed by the CIA, ushered in the use of
widespread torture and murder of political opponents.
August 1967 Hana Eltringham is invited to join the Sea Project, therefore she goes to Las
Palmas where the Avon River is being renovated under Ron Hubbards supervision.
Three Sea Org ships, Apollo, Athena and Diana joined up in Corfu, Greece in late 1968.
.
They were there in support of the Gladio-CIA
operation the Regime of the Colonels. .

Elena Lorrel was a Sea Org member who was involved in the covert political operations.
Elena Lorrel is not her real name, it is a fake name so she can avoid Church harassment.
Elena said there are missing chapters in Sea Org history, not known by the ordinary SO members, having to do with what the
ships were really doing.
.
What we were doing was James Bond stuff, in all these different
countries.
.
Some of the missions we undertook were real intelligence missions: to the United Nations, as well as to almost every
government of the countries we visited.
Lorrel says
Greece was a port frequented by Sea Org ships and special Sea Org members such as Cathy Cariatakis were involved in local
politics there and had established very warm and friendly relations with the head Colonel ruling the country as a CIA puppet.
Lorrel and Cathy Cariatakis would go into some countries and ally it. Because of all these political intrigues, the S.O. ships
became unwelcome in all of the Mediterranean ports, the local populace attacking ships and crew, calling them CIA ships.
.
Imagine that.
.
Hubbard and these special Sea Org members would go on to Morocco to participate in another CIA political operation. A CIA-
backed general attempted a coup by assassinating the President of Morocco. The assassination attempt failed, the general
was executed and Hubbard and his special Sea Org members were told to leave Morocco within 24 hours.
1
We were infiltrating these groupstrying to covertly back one political candidate versus another. All
kinds of political manipulations like you would never imagine were going on, and it was all being pulled off
by a small group of people over a period of 12 years. Wed been out on the scenes where we had to
break into Presidential palace grounds, on our way past guards, and so on.
The Sea Org ship Enchanter gets used for smuggling money overseas from Curacao. Hana Eltringham says - There was
lots of money aboard. We had to courier 7 or 8 million dollars in cash to Switzerland. And on a later trip much more than that
was couriered. It was couriered from the Dutch Antilles island of Curacao, near Venezuela. LRH was really like a squirrel with
nuts, stashing it. He stashed gold bullion too.
The convenience of shipping money on the high seas, by-passing all troubles encountered by going through the normal
channels of different countries, would have been appealing to people who wanted to get dirty money secretly delivered to
their overseas compadres.
.
In 1968, Sea Org vessels were used to locate hidden treasure. The cover story was that they were finding treasure that
Ron Hubbard hid when he was a pirate in a former life.
Sea Org member Larry Reeves said Because of legalities all this had to be kept secret, but I personally saw the treasure.
It was kept in a huge wooden crate the size of a small room. This carton was kept in the hull of the ship, near where I used
to work. I opened one of the boards and looked through. There were ancient gold coins, and jewels of all kinds.
Ron Hubbard is a proven chronic and habitual liar. That is an undeniable fact about him.
I dont buy his cover story. The Sea Org ships were often used as a smuggling service. They transported overseas
someones dirty money, dirty gold bullion and dirty jewels. I think their client was the Nazis, moving some of their stolen
treasure from WW II. The ships were also used to smuggle drugs and that one is a known fact.
.
Throughout its whole history, right from the beginning, Hubbard and other Scientologists have maintained a working
relationship with the MI 6/CIA gang in such covert activities as mind control research, drug pushing, drug running, and covert
political operations.
.
They could not afford to allow anyone to reveal their secret evil
activities to the public, and they will take any action to prevent it.
.
February 1971 - Susan Meister, a 23 year old American girl, boards the Apollo as a new Sea Org member.
Susan was walking straight into a New World Order front group, with L. Ron Hubbard serving as its front man. Hubbard was a
dual undercover operative for British MI 6 and American CIA. Hubbard and his merry band of dupe agents were a swarming
beehive of covert operations and secrets, secrets, secrets all over the place that they did not want known to the public.
2

Susan, like the other Scientologists, kept her attention on the Scientology bait while she ignored the evil hidden hook that bait
was covering up. The bait was the lie that this was all for the good purpose of bringing freedom and enlightenment to
mankind.
.
.
In truth, the Scientology movement supports an ultimate slavery for everyone, where the actual meaning of freedom is well
defined but within the fenced bullpen of a so-called range of options and personalities that one can choose from. Like a trail
of crumbs leading one to their doom
.
.
Thinking that one can effectively keep (and ignore) secrets is a hallmark of a slavemaster and their acolytes and that is
always a costly error.
.
In Susans case, it was fatal.
.
25 June 1971 The Scientology flagship Apollo is docked in the Moroccan port of Safi. At 7:35 p.m., Susan Meister is found
lying across a bunk in the berthing cabin of Chief Officer Amos Jessup with a bullet from a .22 target revolver in her
forehead. She is wearing the dress her mother had sent her for her birthday, with her arms crossed and the revolver on her
chest. A suicide note is on the floor. The local police were called.
Even though there were no gun powder marks on her forehead, they called it a suicide. It was unlikely that it was
a suicide, her letters to her parents showed she was very happy. She obviously had observed something on the ship that she
was not supposed to know about, that represented bad public relations for Scientology if revealed to the public. And being a
decent person, she did not agree with what she saw, was disillusioned, and therefore she posed a threat to exposing it.
11 July 1971 Susan Meisters father arrives in Casablanca to investigate his daughters death, but finds it impossible to
make headway with the Moroccan authorities (paid off?). He was shown a photograph taken aboard the Apollo, showing the
dead girl. He was told they did not know where the body was.
George Meister refused to believe that Susan had committed suicide. He visits the Apollo, escorted by Peter Warren, and
later writes an account of his visit: we were shown where Susans quarters were in the stern of the ship below decks where it
appeared fifty or so people were sleeping on shelf-type bunks. Susans letter had mentioned she shared a cabin all the way
forward with one other person. Next we were shown the cabin next to the pilot house on the bridge where the alleged suicide
had taken place . We were not allowed to see any more of the ship. I requested an interview with Hubbard as he was then
on board. Warren said he would ask. He returned in about half an hour and said Hubbard had declined to see me.
Later, Mr. Meister noticed that the film he had taken of the Apollo had disappeared.
As George Meister was preparing to return home, Peter Warren tried to make a cash settlement with him, which offended
Mr. Meister. At the airport Mr. Meister was accosted by a man who said We are watching you and so are the CIA and the
FBI.
After returning home he found his daughter was buried in a Casablanca cemetery and he had her body shipped back to the
U.S. His local Health Authority then received an anonymous letter before the body was returned. It said in part:
There has been a Cholera epidemic in Moracco there have been recorded two or three hundred
deaths. And its been brought to my attention that the daughter of one George Meister died in Moracco,
Mr. Meister received anonymous letters saying that his daughter had made pornographic films and that she had been a drug
addict. George Meister says he was harrassed for the next six years.
The facts that Mr. Meister was given the runaround in Moracco, the Church attempt to buy him off, the threats made
against him, the lie about her cause of death, and the Fair Game actions against him to silence him all go to show that the
Scientologists were attempting to hide their guilt in the death of Susan Meister.

The Murder of Lisa McPherson
Whenever a person in Scientology becomes a threat to creating a bad public relations image for Scientology, other
Scientologists prevent the person from leaving and they hold the person in captivity against their will.
The number of people who have been held in captivity over the years is a large number.
The Scientology handling for people having a psychotic break is to lock them up in isolation against the persons will. The
name of the handling is the Introspection Rundown.
A psychotic break can be a cover story for a person who has become disillusioned with Scientology and their departure
creates a bad public relations situation for Scientology.
The person is locked in a room with two guards at the door. The guards are not allowed to talk to the person in the psychotic
break, they are only allowed to physically restrain the person. The reason for the guards is that the person wants to leave
3, 4
either by accident or from cholera, probably the latter.
and makes many attempts to leave. But the guards prevent them from leaving until the Case Supervisor says ok. This is a
direct quote from the technical material of the Introspection Rundown:
Lisa McPherson had joined the Church of Scientology in her hometown Dallas, Texas.
She moved to Clearwater, Florida in 1994 to work for AMC Publishing Inc., a business owned by Scientologists. In October
1995 she attained the state of Clear.
About 10 days before Thanksgiving 1995, Lisa McPherson called a childhood friend to say she was coming home to Dallas for
good. McPherson confides that she has much to say, but not over the phone. In a separate conversation with her mother,
she says she was under heavy pressure at work and letting people down. She told her parents that she was leaving
Scientology and she will be home for Christmas.
Lisa then had a car accident in Clearwater and undressed in front of the paramedics, telling them she needed help. The
paramedics took her to nearby Morton Plant Hospital. Scientologists arrived and extracted Lisa from the hospital (its bad PR
for Scientology). They locked her in a room at the Fort Harrison.
.
.
She was held in one of the Cabana rooms, well away from general public perusal at the back of the property.
This is a 1967 photo of the Fort Harrison, but the basic layout of where the Cabana rooms were is essentially the same.
.
Dear Joe. What can you guarantee me if you are let out of isolation? If the persons reply shows
continued irresponsibility toward other dynamics or fixation on one dynamic to the exclusion of others
damaged, the C/S must inform the person of his continued isolation and why. Example: Dear Joe. Im
sorry but no go on coming out of isolation yet?
Toward the midpoint of her isolation in the room, she began to pound on the walls of her room with her fists.
The Case Supervisor for McPherson was Alain Bernard Kartuzinski. His wife, Corrine Joyce Kartuzinski, (ne Corrine Siegal) is
called a cold-hearted woman by some.

Lisa had spent seventeen days in isolation when, on 5 December 1995, the Scientologists placed her in a van and took her to
Columbia New Port Richey Hospital, which is 24 miles from the Fort Harrison. They did not take her to the nearby Morton
Plant Hospital. They took her to the more distant hospital because Dr. David I. Minkoff worked at the New Port Richey
hospital, and he was a Scientologist.
When the van arrived at the hospital shortly after 9 p.m., Lisa McPherson was dead.
An autopsy was performed. A report on the autopsy was filed by the Medical Examiner, Joan Wood. She found that Lisas
body was covered with bruises, cockroach bites, and that she had been deprived of liquids for the last 5 to 10 days and had
died of a blood clot brought about by severe dehydration. Test results also showed that Lisa was unconscious for one or two
days before her death.
McPherson represents another one of the numerous people viciously abused because they posed a threat to Scientologys
public relations image.

brainwashing = isolation, food and sleep deprivation, physical and
mental duress
.
This is one of the brainwashing methods used by Scientology for behavior modification.
On the Flagship Apollo, the chain locker treatment was only one of the brainwashing methods used for behavior
modification. The person was locked in isolation in the chain locker of the ship and was not let out until they agreed to change
their behavior. This included small children, such as a 4 year old boy that Ron Hubbard ordered into the chain locker.
The only communication allowed is this if I let you out, what can you guarantee me? Like the chain locker, the
person gains freedom from isolation by stating that their behavior is now changed, they accept the idea being forced on them
to end the duress.
These autopsy photos clearly illustrate that Flag is not the friendliest place in the world.
The Clearwater taxi cab drivers tell stories of people trying to leave and being physically dragged out of the cab and back into
the building. The best one was the guy who ran out of the Fort Harrison completely naked, clutching only a credit card in his
hand, and told the cab driver to get me the f outa here. The friendliest place in the world may hold true when you are at
the registrar getting your wallet out to purchase their Flag services but anything is possible after that.
Bob Minton established the Lisa McPherson Trust (LMT) to pursue criminal and civil justice in the wrongful death of Lisa
McPherson. He bought a building down the street from the Fort Harrison Hotel, which is the Flag Land Base in Clearwater,
Florida.
Kennan Dandar was the attorney for the LMT.
The top three Scientology executives were David Miscavige, Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder. They used underhanded
methods to sabotage the justice system to escape justice.
They spent 30 million dollars to cover up their guilt in the death of Lisa McPherson. They also destroyed their own records
that proved their guilt.
Subsequently, Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder left the official Church of Scientology and recently they began to expose the
underhanded methods that were used to undermine the justice system and thereby escape prosecution in the Lisa
McPherson case.
On 15 November 2012, Marty Rathbun gave a deposition to Kennan Dandar, wherein Marty tells what they did to get out
of the charges brought against them by the LMT.
The deposition has three Exhibits attached to it that you can refer to while reading the deposition. I have edited the
deposition and the exhibits down to their main points.

EXAMINATION UNDER OATH OF MARK MARTY RATHBUN,

.
Q. Okay. Could you give us a a description of your history with the Church of Scientology?
A. Well, I joined the Church of Scientology in 1977. I joined whats called the Sea Organization, which is its priesthood, in
January, 1978, and I served there until December 12th, 2004.
From approximately 1982 until I left in December, 2004, I answered to nobody other than David Miscavige, who was
effectively the Supreme Leader of all Scientology organizations.
Q. What was your title, if you had one, and Im sure you did, in 2000 uh, lets say 2000 to 2004?
A. I was Inspector General of the Religious Technology Center. And the Inspector General is the second highest ecclesiastical
position in all of the Scientology network, answers only to the Chairman of the Board, Religious Technology Center, which is
David Miscavige.
Q. All right. So is it fair to say you worked hand in glove with David Miscavige?
A. Yes, on a daily basis.
Q. Im going to direct your attention now to the Lisa McPherson case.
And lets start off with Exhibit No.1.
And just take a look at that. I think youll see its your blog or is that your website?
A. Its a blog, yeah.
Q. Okay. And Exhibit No.1, is that your writing that is contained in this entire article until you get to Mike Rinders comments
section at the last page?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. Is everything that you wrote in this blog, Exhibit No. 1, true?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Is it based upon personal knowledge?
A Yes.
Q. Okay. A Republican political consultant by the name of Mary Repper was hired. Who decided to do that?
A . David Miscavige.
A. And so a meeting got set up for her to meet with Miscavige at the Hibiscus Restaurant, which is on the premises of Flag,
Flag Land Base in Clearwater, and David Miscavige said by all means.
what he did do was retained her at a at a pretty hefty, uh, flat rate retainer. Um, she had a monthly retainer, as I recall,
in the, um, thousands of dollars, you know, per month. And she was all too happy to have a, you know, a retainer like that.
Q. Okay. So she set up these dinners at her house, and the Scientology movie stars were invited to come and woo the
politicians?
A . Yes.
Q. So those those Hollywood stars you name on Page 2 is Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Greta Van Sustern, and soap star,
Michelle Stafford.
A . Yes. Correct.
Q. And you really did get the Pinellas County Sheriff and the Public Defender and the Mayors of Tampa and Clearwater to
show up at these events?
A. Yes. In fact, the, uh, the sheriff, Rice was his name, was was really Reppers first major target because she was really
tight with him and had been for decades. Um, and that was the first person she sort of won over to being friendly with
Scientology.
And everything at that time, you know, from 96 through 2004, really, was directed first and foremost at getting rid of the
McPherson criminal case, getting rid of the McPherson civil case, and patching up the bad public relations damage that it had
done, so thats why she was brought in.
Q. What do you know about how the Church of Scientology got the Medical Examiner, Joan Wood, to change her opinion on
the cause of death of Lisa McPherson?
A. Well, its a long story, but, um, essentially Lee Fugate, whos job was really ~- I mean, he was his job was not
lawyering. He did very little lawyering. He did mostly public relations work. And part of his public relations work was to mosey
up to and become friendly with Joan Woods attorney, Jeffrey Goodis, out of St. Petersburg. And he arranged a personal
meeting between David Miscavige and Jeffrey Goodis, which I attended with Lee Fugate. And, um, essentially, David
Miscavige created this little bonding, um, scenario with, uh, with Goodis over months. Um, thats how the thats how the
thing essentially went down. And what he what he essentially accomplished over a year period in the year 1999-2000, I
guess, was or an eight-, nine-month period was essentially, really, to get Goodis to actually be representing
Miscaviges interests against Joan Woods, quite frankly. I mean, he had Goodis on such good terms that Goodis would
consult with Dave Miscavige on how to convince Joan Wood of certain things.
Q. Was he being paid by David Miscavige?
A.. No, he was not. But he did receive a lot of perks.
Q. Such as?
A.. Such as, uh, 50-yard line Super Bowl tickets when the Bucs went to the Super Bowl. Uh, such as cufflinks that, uh, were
probably worth a couple of thousand dollars, like really over-the-top cufflinks. Miscavige found out he had somewhat of a
cufflinks fetish and, um, at least gave him at least two pair that I know of. Um, and then he got red-carpet-rolled-out
treatment at the events at the Flag Land Base at the Fort Harrison Hotel that this church put on in the early 2000s to try to
woo the local populous.
And, um, Miscavige found out through bonding with, uh, Goodis that his wife and he both were sort of goo-goo ga-ga over
John Travolta. So Dave very carefully arranged that Travolta would go up to their table and give them personal face time and
make them feel like they were personal friends.
Q. Now, I heard Yeah. and tell me if Im wrong, but I heard that Joan Wood, the Medical Examiner, had a
relative, either a brother or a cousin, who had some type of pressure put on him or her that caused Joan Wood
to change her opinion on the cause of death.
A. Ken, I dont know anything about that. Never heard of it, even.
Look, Miscavige and I met with Jeffrey Goodis on probably between one and two dozen occasions in Jeffrey Goodis office in
St. Petersburg, and these are like anywhere from an hour to three-hour-long meetings in his conference room, personally
going through the evidence that we were specifically tailoring to impinge on Joan Wood. And then having
strategy sessions on how Jeff might be able to push her personal, professional, and emotional buttons to get
her to accept these ideas.
And thats how thats how it went down.
I dont know about any cousins or anything like that.
Q. Okay. All right. Lets talk about the judges now. What do you know about was it Miscaviges idea? Is he the one that
was, again, in charge of trying to influence judges involved in the Lisa McPherson cases?
A. Absolutely. And, uh and that really began with with Judge Schaeffer. in fact, that was Lee Fugates, thats why he
was hired in the first place. and one of the first things that Miscavige ordered me to do was to get with Jerry Feffer.
Jerry Feffer is senior partner or was a senior partner at Williams & Connolly in Washington, D.C. He was David Miscaviges
personal attorney. David Miscavige had, uh, credited him with, credited Jerry Feffer with knocking out a number of criminal
investigations on David Miscavige, personally, and the Church of Scientology from the mid 80s all the way up into the 2000s.
And so one of the first things he did was order me to get ahold of Jerry Feffer to get us, uh, some rainmaker counsel to
make this case go away.
Q. Who was that?
A. And that was Weinberg, Sandy Weinberg, of Zuckerman, Spaeder. And, uh, and his big his big line into handling this
thing behind the scenes was he had Lee Fugate, who was a former State Attorneys Office attorney in the Pinellas County
office Pinellas-Pasco office, who was investigating this case. Lee Fugate was a former prosecutor there and, according to
Weinberg and according to Feffer, had the, uh, the, uh, credibility, and the influence there to, sufficient to make this thing go
away.
Q. So what was the plan to make the McPherson case go away?
A. Well, I mean, the first plan was to, uh, try to open up a line of communication with the State Attorneys Office and
prevent it from getting to the point of indictment.
And so and so Lee Fugate, he ran into a lot of antagonism from McCabe and Doug Crow, who was the deputy and who
was in charge of the case. But the line prosecutor -~ cant remember his name, but if I had some time, I could look it up
uh, was good pals with Fugate, and.was in and Fugate was in constant communication with him during the deposition
period, pre-indictment, and reporting back on the sentiment and where the state Attorney was going and and strategizing
directly with Miscavige and myself on how to influence it not to get to the point of indictment.
Q. Did you know that the FDLE, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, as well as the Clearwater Police Department
wanted the prosecutor to file murder charges?
A. Yes.
Q. And was Lee Fugate charged with making sure that didnt happen?
A. Well, that was part of it, yeah. I mean, we we wanted nothing to be, you know, we wanted no indictment. But, yeah,
as you know, it ultimately led to abuse and neglect criminal abuse and neglect.
Q. So part of your article here says that the lawyers were paid handsomely to meet ex parte with the judges involved in the
McPherson case. What does that mean?
A. Well, what it means is, is that, uh, Pope, the Pope firm, the first guy we hired was Ed Armstrong, who was doing a lot of
real estate work, and he started building some PR bridges. And Ed was connected, and Ed knew and was personal friends with
Judge Greer, who was on the probate case the Lisa McPherson Estate probate case, and had a number of conversations
with Greer about Scientology. But I know I got reports back from Armstrong, in the presence of Miscavige, where he would
talk about how he laid in some bad news about Ken Dandar being a sleazy ambulance chaser and unethical lawyer, and, uh,
and then some things about, you know, some positive stuff about the church.
A. Miscavige, youve got to realize, in 1998 when the indictment happened, he was there pretty much from 7 November, 98,
through the dismissal of the criminal case in mid 2000.
A. Well, of course, Ken, you know why it finally settled in May, 04 is because I took off. I escaped the International Base in
February, and I came back to Clearwater to do to try to sort things out with my wife. But Miscavige knew the handwriting
was on the wall and I was a loose cannon, free agent, and who knows what Im going to say. Thats why that thing thats
why they finally ultimately settled with you.
Q. The McPherson case settled in May of 04, so you were still there when it settled.
A. Right. But, Ken, youve got to understand. I escaped the International Headquarters on February the 3rd, 2004, on my
motorcycle. I then contacted my wife, who was working at the Flag Land Base. I told her I got you know, whats going on
at the International Headquarters under Miscavige is complete insanity. Its a prison camp, its a torture chamber, and it has
nothing to do with Scientology, and Im out and Im never going back there. She said, Hey, what about me?
I said, you know, Im just telling you, Im never going back to the Int Base again.
She said, Please come back to Clearwater. Ill get okay. She got okay from Miscavige for me to go to Clearwater, instead of
going back to the Int Base. I was there, though, for nine months, but I wasnt in the loop on anything, Ken.
Q. at the end of Exhibit I, Mike Rinder mentions about Lee Fugate and Judge Quesada spending a lot of time on Anna
Maria Island.
A. Fugate had a number of ex parte communications with Quesada about the case because Lee Fugate and Frank
Quesada were roommates when they were young prosecutors in the State. They were bosom buddies that went back to the
beginning of their careers But Lee Fugate reported on a number of occasions having went out drinking with Quesada, and
talking about the case, and, again, pushing the same agenda: Ken Dandar is evil. Scientologys good.
Q. Okay. Look at Exhibit No. 3. Now, this involves you and the destruction of the last three days of the Lisa
McPherson caretaker notes. My question is, Why did they have to be destroyed?
A. Because they showed that Heather Hoff very explicitly was demanding that medical treatment be gotten.
Q. And who is the person saying no to her request?
A. Well, I dont know. Janice Johnson had sort of had some influence. Alain Kartuzinski was supposed to be, you
know, where the buck stopped, but he was actually being micromanaged by Angie Trent, who was the Religious Technology
Center representative at the Flag Land Base. So, really, those three together were sort of working on this. So, I guess, I
mean, in a way, I guess I would say Angie Trent really.
Q. Well, did David Miscavige have a role in this?
A. No. David Miscavige and I didnt find this out until after I left and and connected up with Tom DeVocht and,um, a
couple other people, Debbie Cook and Don Jason. All three of them corroborated this for me, um, was that David Miscavige
was the person that was programming Lisa McPherson from way back in the spring of the year she died, and so his
fingerprints were all over her in terms of her descent into this psychosis that she went into.
I spent you know, I spent six years and 28, 30 million dollars, um, defending that case
Q. Was any of that 30 million spent on the private investigators that came after me?
A. Yes.
I can tell you that there were a number of Pis who went to virtually all of your clients your former clients who could be
found, who talked them up just like the same program I told you about the judges, you know, try to buddy up to them, try
to get them to detest or criticize you, and if they could get if they could drive a wedge, theyd work it out over months and
years to get them to turn on you.
We had you overtly followed to try to get you to you know, to get into your head, because thats part of the policy of this
noisy investigation I was telling you about.
I can tell you this, too. sure we got your phone records. Because Im, thats a thats an automatic. In fact, the FBIs
investigating the obtaining of my phone records by the Church of Scientology right now as we speak, um, because theyve
gotten them from T-Mobile, which is my carrier. Um, but thats done as a matter of course with somebody with an enemy
of your stature. We find out everybody who youre calling. Okay? And then a whole investigation is done into all those people.
So, you know, its quite possible they could have even prevented you from getting clients by finding out who you were in
touch with and then, you know, influencing potential new cases.
Theres overt data collection and then theres covert data collection. Its like you find every single potential person who knows
anything about the person, and then you check every public record or every record thats thats obtainable. Thats overt
data collection.
Then you have covert data collection, and, yes, that involves infiltration. They do that quite quite often. But when I get
the reports on covert data collection, they dont say who the resource is or where who its coming from.
Q. Who else was besides you, who else was aware of the destruction of the caretaker notes of Lisa McPherson?
A. Uh, Elliot Abelson, who was a lawyer, in-house lawyer well, in-house general counsel. He was for the Church of
Scientology. I think he was busted after the Debbie Cook, uh, blowup. But Elliot Abelson was in-house counsel, Mr. Fix
it, in Los Angeles. he was involved in the decision making, and, you know, he was right there reviewing the
documents and deciding what needed to go and didnt. And then, also, Lynn Farney, who was a legal, staff member at
the Office of Special Affairs.
And David Miscavige.
Q. Well, what about the, uh, Exhibit 3; is that a true and correct copy of the Internet Village Voice where you talk about the
attorney, Abelson, supervising the destruction of records in the Lisa McPherson death case?
A. It looks like it.
Q. And thats your video thats right on that first page.
A. Yeah.

Mark Marty Rathbuns Place
David Miscavige the Cheater
Posted on August 3, 2011 by martyrathbun
First order of business was hiring at a very handsome salary the number one Republican political consultant in Pinellas
county, one Mary Repper. The program Mary and I developed under Miscaviges direct supervision was simple. First, Mary
finds out the favorite Scientology celebrity of each influential person in Pinellas County politics and government (including law
enforcement).
Second, I contact that celebrity and close him/her to come to Mary Reppers home for a dinner with a collection of those local
officials who happen to love that particular celebrity.
The targets are won over by intimate face time with someone he or she is giddy over. The Mayor of Clearwater, the Mayor
of Tampa, County Supervisors, the Pinellas County Sheriff, the Pinellas County Public Defender, many prominent lawyers, and
a number of other local public figures attended these special evenings with a star.
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Greta Van Sustern, and soap star Michelle Stafford each had their own special audiences appear
to be spellbound face to face at the home of Ms. Repper.
We then used a number of the people so wowed at these events to get footholds in with judges in the Pinellas county courts
infiltrating the courts indirectly with the messages that Scientology is good and being discriminated against, McPhersons
lawyers and family were bad, gold diggers exploiting Lisas death.
We also hired lawyers who knew judges assigned to our cases in Pinellas County, and paid them so handsomely they were
willing to make ex parte contact with and inculcate the judges directly with those same messages. That occured with Judge
Beach who was assigned to the civil case, Estate Of Lisa McPherson vs Church of Scientology, and Judge George Greer,
Church of Scientology vs. Executor of the Estate of Lisa McPherson in Pinellas county probate court.
The lawyer involved with Judge Beach was Lee Fugate of Zuckerman, Spaeder (Tampa Office)
So effective were Fugates many ex parte, casual meetings with Judge Beach that Beach effectively extorted the McPherson
family into accepting a settlement on terms they felt degraded and disappointed with having to accept.

Scientology Uses Its Movie Stars to Woo Politicians,
Says Former Top Exec (OR: Tom Cruise Loves Coconut Cake!)
By Tony Ortega Wed., Aug. 3 2011 at 1:43 PM
Want to have Tom over to your place for dinner? Apparently all it takes is some yummy coconut cake. Another revelation
this afternoon from Marty Rathbun, formerly one of the highest executives in Scientology who defected in 2004 and since
2009 has been criticizing church leader David Miscavige at his blog, Moving On Up a Little Higher.
In particular, Rathbun mentioned a concerted campaign by Scientology, as it was suffering one of its worst public relations
disasters after the death of parishioner Lisa McPherson, to go on a charm campaign to woo and influence Florida public
officials.
How did the church intend to loosen up Floridas pols? By setting up lunches and dinners with its stable of celebrities.
McPherson had died in 1995, but it wasnt until a year later that the public started to become aware of her unusual death at
the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida
The Church of Scientology was indicted on two felony counts in 1998 over the death of McPherson.
As the criminal case and a civil wrongful death suit made their way through the courts, Rathbun says the church hit on the
idea of trying to influence Floridas opinion leaders.
The point was to win these people over to Scientology, and support it politically and get the word back down to the courts,
he says. (The state dropped its criminal case in 2000, but negative publicity over McPherson was still a problem for several
years as the civil case continued.)
The best way to counter the negative press, he adds, was with Scientology celebrities like Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Greta
Van Susteren, and soap star Michelle Stafford.
But Rathbun says the church needed help bringing together its stars with Floridas political influencers. For that help,
Scientology turned to Republican operative Mary Repper.
In 2003, the St. Petersburg Times reported that Repper had held a dinner at her house that brought together Tampas
mayor at the time, Pam Iorio, and Scientologys biggest star, Tom Cruise:
Repper denied then to the St. Pete Times that the church had anything to do with setting up the dinner, and she told me that
as well, this morning, by telephone from her Florida home.
I also asked Repper if she was involved in bringing together Florida politicians with Greta Van Susteren, John Travolta, and
Michelle Stafford. She denied that she had Travolta to dinner at her house. (Rathbun, however, says she did have him over
for an afternoon lunch. She didnt have him for dinner. She had him for an afternoon with about 30 women politicians,
Rathbun told me.)
Shes such a liar. We hired her in, it must have been 1999 Rathbun says.
Thats also the recollection of Mike Rinder, who was Scientologys chief spokesman until he left the church in 2007. I
introduced Mary Repper to Michelle Stafford at a Hollywood Celebrity Centre event, and it was the biggest day of her life,
Rinder told me by telephone today. She was flown to Los Angeles for a gala event. I was her host Id been to her house a
few times, too, when I was the chief spokesman for the church. I actually took Tom deVocht to dinner at her house one
day.
Anyway, thats an absolute Im not sure what the correct word for it is. Its just lying, thats the correct word, he says,
about her claim that she wasnt affiliated with Scientology when the politician charm campaign was happening in 2003.
I remember hiring her in 1998 or 1999. Marty is absolutely right. He was there and so was [church leader David] Miscavige.
There was a lunch in the Hibiscus room in the Fort Harrison Hotel. It was Miscavige, Marty and, me, and that was her first
time at the hotel, Rinder says.
Choosing Repper to help them with Lisa McPherson damage control was no accident, Rinder says. She was the campaign
manager that ran Bernie McCabes election campaign. He was the states attorney bringing the states case against the
church at the time There needed to be influence, there needed to be ways of controlling the process. The police
department was going after the church, the FDLE was going after the church, the states attorney was going after the
church, Ken Dandar in the civil case was going after the church.
Rathbun and Rinder both say Repper was hired to help the church influence political leaders in 1998 or 1999, and the state
eventually dropped its criminal case in 2000.
Honestly, I dont think she had any influence [on the state dropping the case], Rinder adds the states case fell apart
when medical examiner Joan Wood changed the cause of death to an accident.
Still, Repper was something of a kingmaker in Pinellas County, Rinder says, and the church found her useful.
Repper denied that she was affiliated with Scientology at the time of the dinners, but she says she is working for Scientology
today. I do work for them now, yes. I do whatever I can to help them because I believe in them. I think theyre good
people. The people in that church, Im proud to know them. I used to be proud of Marty.

Marty Rathbun: Scientologys Attorney Supervised
Destruction of Records in Lisa McPherson Death
By Tony Ortega Fri., Aug. 24 2012 at 7:00 AM
McPherson died after she was held for 17 days at the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida following a mental breakdown.
Her death became the churchs biggest crisis to that point, leading to a criminal investigation and years of civil litigation.
Rathbun was one of the top church officials whose full time job between 1996 and 2000 was dealing with that crisis. (He later
left the church in 2004.)
Rathbun has previously admitted to destroying evidence in the case. But in this video, he provides more detail, and implicates
Abelson.
In another interview with Mark Bunker, former top church spokesman Mike Rinder had characterized Abelson as just a
name, an attorney whom private investigators could say they were working for as they performed operations for the church.
But in this account, Rathbun says Abelson was more of an actor, claiming that the attorney supervised the destruction of
evidence, and in Abelsons own office on Hollywood Boulevard.
.
Commentary by Mike McClaughry
.
23 February 2000 Joan Wood changed the cause of McPhersons death to an accident. Therefore, the guilty
Scientologists escaped criminal prosecution when that happened.
The key part of Martys deposition came when Dandar asked this question
.
Q. Now, I heard Yeah. and tell me if Im wrong, but I heard that Joan Wood, the Medical Examiner,
had a relative, either a brother or a cousin, who had some type of pressure put on him or her that caused
Joan Wood to change her opinion on the cause of death.
A. Ken, I dont know anything about that. Never heard of it, even.
.
That was the key turning point that got the guilty Scientologists out of the criminal charges and also harmed the civil case
against the Church. There is no statute of limitations on murder. Those charges can be resurrected at any time, and they
likely would be if it was proven that Joan Wood was coerced to change the cause of death.
Those charges would apply to Marty also, he was one of the guilty co-conspirators in covering up the murder, and possibly in
causing the murder. So, he was not willing to state what he may know about coercion of Joan Wood.
The other key part of Martys deposition is the part that PROVES it was murder -
.
Q. Okay. Look at Exhibit No. 3. Now, this involves you and the destruction of the last three days of the
Lisa McPherson caretaker notes.
My question is, Why did they have to be destroyed?
A. Because they showed that Heather Hoff very explicitly was demanding that medical treatment be
gotten.
Q. And who is the person saying no to her request?
A. Well, I dont know. Janice Johnson had sort of had some influence. Alain Kartuzinski was
supposed to be, you know, where the buck stopped, but he was actually being micromanaged by Angie
Trent, who was the Religious Technology Center representative at the Flag Land Base. So, really, those
three together were sort of working on this. So, I guess, I mean, in a way, I guess I would say Angie
Trent really.
Q. Well, did David Miscavige have a role in this?
A. No. David Miscavige and I didnt find this out until after I left and and connected up with Tom
DeVocht and,um, a couple other people, Debbie Cook and Don Jason.
All three of them corroborated this for me, um, was that David Miscavige was the person that was
programming Lisa McPherson from way back in the spring of the year she died, and so his fingerprints
were all over her in terms of her descent into this psychosis that she went into.
.
.
David Miscavige was micromanaging the Lisa McPherson fiasco from beginning to end.
Marty was David Miscaviges right-hand man and he didnt know that? Hes lying.
And only David Miscavige had the ultimate authority to deny Heather Hoffs urgent requests for medical care those
last 3 days of Lisas life. And that denial caused her death and amounts to premeditated murder.
And for all the ranting Marty has done against Miscavige, when it gets down to the real nitty gritty, Martys bite lacks teeth.
So, Martys deposition is all just for more PR show.
.
Im trembling in my boots, he said sarcastically. I told Dandar theyre going to have to think long and hard what to do
about me. Im best when people are questioning me. If they cross-examine me, its going to get five times as bad.
Marty Rathbun on Lisa McPherson death, Ortega article 11/17/12
.
Ok, Marty. - Mike McClaughry 11/24/12
.

Those of us who are very familiar with the subject of Scientology and their organizational policy know what the Scientologists
did to Lisa McPherson that they then covered up.
Lisa McPherson was an escalating bad public relations situation for Scientology.
Lisa went to Clearwater and attained a state in Scientology called Clear.
McPherson was leaving Scientology and when she got back to her hometown she was going to start talking about some
negative things she had learned about Scientology. So, she was obviously disillusioned with Scientology and just after she had
gone Clear. Now she is even more of a bad public relations threat, a recent Clear revealing negative things about Scientology.
Now some classic Scientology tactics come into play and it was all micromanaged by David Miscavige. Thus began
the tactics that we have seen them employ over and over to people who were posing some bad public relations threat to
Scientology.
One of those tactics is to use Reverse Scientology to drive the person insane. According to Scientology a psychotic break is
caused by a whole series of wrong indications. Lisa was getting beat up by the ethics department, wherein she was
intentionally being given one wrong indication after another.
Then another classic tactic of theirs was used the arranged car accident in Clearwater.
All of this was supposed to get Lisa to back down and decide to be silent.
But Lisa did something they had not predicted. She took her clothes off and was naked in the streets right after the pre-
arranged car accident. She told the paramedics on the scene that she needed help. Now she is creating an even worse bad
public relations situation.
The paramedics took her to the hospital where they put her under psychiatric care. Now she is an even worse bad public
relations situation. A Scientology Clear who is in need of psychiatric care what bad public relations that is for Scientology so
the Scientologists had to get her out of the hospital fast, before she started blabbing the negative things she knew about
Scientology.
Now they lock her up in isolation in a room against her will. Their envisioned end was that she agreed to not be a
bad public relations situation for Scientology. It did not work. She did not give in to their behavior modification and banged on
the walls to be let go.
After a week of abusive treatment in isolation, she was now a really horrible bad public relations situation for Scientology. If
they allowed her out in her obvious bad physical condition and she went to the authorities she could charge them with illegal
detainment and various other charges. Now they are caught in their own trap, they cant let her go. So they let her die, the
ultimate way to silence somebody.
.
That is premeditated murder.
.
They can deny it all they want, but those of us who were in Scientology
.
we know how you think and we know what you did.
.
The justice system failed to bring justice since it allowed itself to be covertly sabotaged.
However, we can still find justice where it really matters in the court of public opinion.
.
We the people, find the involved Scientologists guilty of illegal
detainment and murder.

Comment discussion moved to relevant page Chapter 30 of Scientology Roots
Cathy Mullins posted a comment as gargy to the About page on January 8 2013 at approximately 2pm PST, as
follows:
Please remove my name from your blog, particularly in Scientology Roots: Chapter 30 Suspicious Deaths where you
write: Maybe thats because per Cathy Mullins stoned Scientologists (including Mary Sue) were de riguer aboard the
Royal Scotman during 1968/1969. I do not believe that I ever claimed such a thing. I was on the Royal Scotman in 1968
but I do NOT recall seeing stoned scientologists. I hope you will honor this request.
Sincerely,
Cathy Mullins
My response:
Cathy, thank you for pointing this out. You are right, the source for that was actually a man named Neville Chamberlain,
there was a mix-up in my notes. I am happy to correct that and add further information concerning Neville as well as
Baron Berez being busted for pot by Hubbard apparently you werent aware of any of that but others were. As to your
name in verified sources such as the Auditor magazine completions lists I will not be removing that. Again, thank you for
coming forward and helping us in our documentation of the truth.

Wow, another great article and very revealing of the things that go on behind the Sci curtain.
Recently my sister heard of another scientologist that died in Jan 2013, in Tampa Fl. Died of you guessed it a CAR
ACCIDENT !!! She was hospitalized for a couple days but did not suvive it.
Her name was Maureen Gregory, and she had many comm lines. She worked in the medical health field and was NOT GIs
about continuing with her bridge. My sister suspects foul play, but needs more info.
Maybe you guys can do your research magic and come up with more on this one.

Thanks if you have any links to documentation of this person and the car accident (newspaper articles or
announcements) please feel free to provide them. If it is a documentable story, I may add it to this chapter.

Thank you for having the courage to post this on your blog. My father was Irving Fiske, one of Scientologys Squirrels
mentioned in November,1970. In truth, they treated both my father (and all the rest of our family) and myself with much
more cold manipulation (convinced all our friends in Dianetics and Scientology to have nothing to do with us, including my
first (nonsexual) boyfriend, Russell Saloman. He would not speak to me once my father was declared Suppressive and Fair
Game (I believe in 1966). My mother had had a nervous breakdown and, in my opinion, the Org saw a chance to take
over my fathers group of friends who routinely practiced a very casual form of (free) processing, and cut him loose. They
allowed me to speak to Russell once, atop the Org building (a place I would now consider way too dangerous; but at 15 I
thought of myself as an invincible Thetan as they had encouraged me to do and a child, after all, of the Org). I thought
of them as my uncles and aunts, in a sense. Saloman and I spoke on top of the building and he told me I would have to
convince my father to go in for processing before he and I could spend any time together in future. I was devastated.
father tried to comply for a few weeks, but then became too disgusted with the manipulations of the Org(anization) and
refused to continue. Happily, I soon met other young men and had happier relationships. When Scientology declared my
father Fair Game etc. they claimed that he had given people drugs (LSD) and allowed or encouraged the horrible (!)
pastime of female homosexuality. He sued them for libel and slander and eventually was offered a settlement of about
$2,500. I begged him not to take it, but he needed the money (as we always did).
In the meantime, a higher- up Scientologist had left the Organization and brought with him some very damning papers I
no longer have copies of these papers, and can therefore not explain what they contained without opening myself to a
lawsuit (possibly) from the good old Org, but imagine that they had used the E-Meter in S. Africa in a manner that assisted
the pro-apartheid government to ferret out secret integrationists in the underground. Very James Bond, no? The higher-
up had given these papers to Irving, who allowed my younger brother and me to utilize them to taunt a friend who had
Disconnected from the family a hurtful and damaging technique to use against two young teenagers with a mother
who had lost her mind (she later recovered).
I cannot say that assistance to Johannesburgs white supremacist government was actually what the papers proved, but
they were quite damaging to the Organization. I was about sixteen, my brother about 13, when we took with us a friend (
a very large and forbidding looking man named Big Vincent, who happened to be African-American) and went to see a
former Scientologist friend, getting him out of bed. He had risen up the ladder, and if he was not yet a Clear (one without
engrams or traumas, having paid Scientology mucho dinero for the cleaning of his psyche) he was very close. However,
when he saw the papers we had with us, he became extremely agitated. I was glad that Big Vincent had agreed to go as
our bodyguard, and if he is still living, I want to thank him with all my heart. This Scientologist, whose initials were I. C., tried
to get us to give him these papers but without success.
it was not long after this that Scientology offered to settle the case with my father for which I have always felt that he
could get a great deal more money than he did. I was very young at the time and yet felt that we should go on battling
them. If I gave in or agreed in any manner it was only out of pity for his need (and mine, I suppose), and the psychological
pressures continuing to be applied by Scientology.
Thanks for your courage. I have never written about this part of my life before today, but I can no longer see any reason
to live in fear of people who believe they were once clams. Maybe they were, who knows?

Thank you for setting the record straight on your father. It is always a benefit to clear up Scientology lies, past or present.
He was giving free processing? Well, there is his crime in their eyes. They look upon that as cutting their income, which
proves they are more interested in making money than Clearing the Planet.
Glad to hear from you and I appreciate your input.

Scientology demanded the return of the JBC Papers as part of the settlement. As far as I know, my father made no copies
(but who knows)? He was a very Machiavellian fellow.
