&quot;My only remaining regret, that I’ve not fully as-ised yet, is that I didn’t have the courage to call out these 1.1 assholes much, much sooner. I saw it, but pretended I didn’t.&quot; 
Yeah, man. I smelled a rat the first time DM introduced himself at an event and it was apparent that he was going to be the new leader of the Church. My way of evaluating a Scientology executive has always been to ask myself, &quot;How would I imagine it would be to be audited by this person?&quot; When I did the test, the result was &quot;Oh shit&quot;.   ...But then I figured that since there were a lot of Class VIIIs around him up lines and he would get lots of auditing and training and get handled. 
But I admit that the real reason I did not confront what I was seeing was that I didn&#039;t want it to be true.  
I didn&#039;t want to lose the wonderful organization I was a part of, which LRH had so persistently built up to forward the subject of Scientology, by opening up my mouth.
I didn&#039;t want to lose all of my wonderful friends who share this common purpose. 
But despite that  and the present situation, it actually does feel better to have come up to present time.]]></description>

Back in the &#039;80s,while on the SHSBC ,I did a lot a session recordings. I used a big vhs recorder and a tripod. Before the session, I would make very, very certain the PC was ok with it. If not I&#039;d turn the camera off or pull the recording rig out of the auditing room. After session, my twin and the Sup were the ones who watched it, and we made sure no one else did. Afterwards the tape was erased. I don&#039;t recall if there is any LRH on the subject. it seems like we just used The Auditors Code and common sense. Video is a good tool if handled correctly. (Now, with micro-technology and DM at the helm, I don&#039;t want to think about it . . .)]]></description>

Not only are the auditing sessions recorded, but at Flag the MAA sessions with public are recorded, without the public&#039;s knowledge.  And they have look in capability where someone on the other end sees and hears your MAA cycle and tells the MAA things in their ear to tell you what to do etc]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-fundraising-techniques-use-of-shills/#comment-32742&quot;&gt;knatherthomas&lt;/a&gt;.

knatherthomas --

&quot;...LRH saw the Snow White debacle blow back on the Church as a personal betrayal of him by Mary Sue.&quot; 

You&#039;re not the first person on this blog to mention betrayal, LRH and Mary Sue in the same sentence. I&#039;m still at a loss, after all these years, to understand why LRH looked to MSH as someone who betrayed him specifically in regards to this program

I was at GO WW when the proverbial shit hit the fan, i.e. summer of 1977, moments after the US raid took place. I got a crash-course indoctrination into what Snow White was about by having to dive in and redact hundreds of documents. My opinion - I am absolutely certain, based on what I personally read, what I heard 2nd and 3rd hand from 20 different sources at WW, and what I could extrapolate from all of the above --  that LRH had a direct hand in and/or knew about Snow White and its aims from the very beginning. 

Did it evolve beyond what he wrote, said, advised, suggested -- perhaps. I have no data to confirm or refute this. All I know is what I personally observed, and in my opinion he was the driving force behind a program designed to find the source(s) of the false data, third party, malicious rumors, and should-be-suppressed truths about SCN.

For years I had problems with this piece of my time track and how it affected my view of SCN, LRH and everyone at GO WW at that time. I recently started to unravel what my attention was actually on.

Please keep in mind, I saw some of the documents coming in from the IRS, Interpol and other sources at that time 1976-1978. Some of this stuff was purely works of fiction. Reports depicting SCN rituals involving copious amount of LSD, sex orgies and animal sacrifices - I kid you not. So I understand why they generated such emotions. But I am certain there were accurate reports as well. Hell, some ended up as evidence in the Trials.

But all of this came to a head for me after watching a recent episode of GPS (Global Public Square) on Sunday mornings, CBS. The host had on a high-level former NSA head and he articulated an idea I had rattling around for years. Of Course he used recent examples of the NSA&#039;s data gathering programs that targeted ally governments, like Britain, Germany, and others.

If you are a President, Prime Minister, or Chancellor, and specifically ask for very detailed information, very detailed information about a certain person, agency or activity, you MUST take into account and consider HOW that information is REALISTICALLY going to be attained. 

In other words, you cannot ask for specific information about highly confidential subjects, that are restricted to just a very few possible sources, (including bugged phones) and then be completely shocked when that information is revealed to have been attained through questionable means. 

Yes, there is plausible deniability, but is that what we are discussing here with LRH and Snow White? Whoever put Snow White into effect, who thought copies of restricted documents could be obtained, current confidential information could be gathered, all by simply asking the gov&#039;t for it, (in Pre-Freedom of Information Act days), well, those persons were delusional. If you want a copy of a document or information that is NOT available in public records and you get it, then it came from someone&#039;s file cabinet, computer or briefcase. To think otherwise is dangerously naive. 

Snow White was a ticking time bomb that blew Scientology completely off course and started 35 years of a dwindling spiral within the Church. It sent LRH into exile, David Miscavige into power and relegated thousands of auditors and quality people into the Gulags.

MSH, in my opinion, was the heroine in this whole affair. She protected LRH so, because she was protecting Scientology and its future. She fell on her own sword and was ostracized by DM and his clones for doing it. 

Anyway, didn&#039;t intend to ramble on so -- it just happened.

Hey AM, I dont like seeing generalized LRH bashing either, so much of it is false, such as the attempt to discredit his war record.  I wouldnt check in here if this blog did that.  Keep up the good work!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A person of conscience will not normally steal, bankrupt others, or lie to others. A person of conscience will normally avoid harming others. It takes AUTHORITY constantly issuing destructive ORDERS to override a person&#039;s conscience. 

In order to get a person of conscience to harm others, to lie to others, to steal, they must also somehow consider their victims as deserving of mistreatment or must totally lack conscience. 

People of conscience usually wake up after a while and realize they&#039;ve been harming others. Eventually, the only ones surviving in a criminal activity are those who have no conscience - sociopaths - and those unable to question AUTHORITY.

Fundraising in the Church of Scientology is directed by a sociopath - David Miscavige - so naturally the results are dehumanization, financial ruin and the making of criminals.]]></description>
