After I got taken through the FLAG reg grinder from all sides around the same time by the routing-off form, I never went back there again. It could be said that I had been squeezed out of the church by various endless reging tactics. After a while you have no place to go where there isn't a forceably pleading open hand. Then the environment became too financially dangerous and I moved on. I never came into SCN for this BS … wrong purpose.

Phil …… EXACTLY!

Dan,
Probably THE main reason I was declared by DM is that over the last months I was at the Base, Annie had come a long way to realizing what had occurred and how DM had usurped the Church. In fact, she was pressing him to have her put on the post LRH personally assigned her, the Inspector General of RTC. DM was slithering and sliding on this, with mis-direction about the “IRS” battle, Vicki Aznaran acting up and on and on. Annie was progressively seeing through this.

DM’s answer to ME, was to have me Sec Checked daily under the guise of sessions, which he then read and scoured for anything on Annie. When I got declared, and Annie was intercepted in Boston, my “handlers” in RTC ordered me to write a KR on her and tell them everything she’d ever said to me “from the moment we first met” or I’d be doing A-E “back to the stone age”, “50,000 times” (those words are verbatim).

What I wrote to those “handlers” wasn’t what they wanted. And DM and his ilk had me do A-E for some two decades, never allowing it to finish, and preventing me from seeing Annie again. Miscavige knew she’d told me the facts. He knows what he’s onto is diametrically opposed to what LRH wanted, and communicated to Annie.

Annie’s communication of LRH during those years, is as valid as any others. She was there, every single day, and in comm with him more than any other being on this planet.

Mike,
My take from what Annie told me is that the “final message” was to be the Estate Planning, the Corporate Structure as laid out on savescientology.com. That is, instead of that event that Pat Broeker and DM orchestrated, it should have been a full description of the entire set up, who were the Trustees, what are the checks and balances etc.

She was adamant that LRH intended checks and balances and clearly did NOT want any one person to assume dictatorial control.

I don’t doubt Sarge’s own perception and evaluation of what he experienced from his viewpoint. Annie had a different perception, evaluation and viewpoint. I spoke with her directly about this, as we discussed what was happening at the Int Base and with RTC and what LRH wanted. I asked her about the man, what he was like at Creston and all of this was relayed leaving my own albeit second-hand impression, that LRH was “compos mentis”, that he was cogent, and he had and retained a good forward look. Also, there were anecdotes of him driving his cars around with her “on the lookout” for CHP, them munching cheeseburgers, him working the crew on self-sufficiency with animal husbandry, food culture, and the many chats they enjoyed in his Bluebird jabbing about this, that and anything.

Again, Sarge had his experience. I know he loved LRH. So did Annie. I’ve spoken with several others who were there over those years. My impression from them is not what is relayed in Wright’s book. Wright also got very wrong LRH’s war record which Margaret lays out here http://scientologymyths.com/hubbardww2.htm.

As a musician I had access to tape recordings of LRH working in various studios. I heard the man, from those years. He was alive, in comm, and even cracking wise, while also imparting real KRC on music, recording and whatever else he was involved in.

My conclusion of the being at the end of his life, is that he maintained the states he had acheived and are available with the technologies of Scientology. Without ANY question, and that’s taking in not just Sarge’s or Annie’s viewpoints, but others, who were there, and who confirmed what I personally saw reading, and studying fully what he produced from that time period.

“God, the uniforms. Leave it to COB to make the staff of all Ideal Orgs look like servers at The Olive Garden.”

Laughter!

Flag! The friendliest place in the world? The public were called “pool pigs” the first time I went as public.
Now as I understand it, the Sea Org staff are not to fraternize with “public”. Although they keep the lights on through “donations”.

“Boy, I sure would like to know the actual truth…”

I personally doubt that Sarge was lying.

Thanks Dan. I agree with you, but that isnt what Jim said. He was responding to my comment about Sarge saying Annie told him something different. I was simply giving my perspective on how you can judge apparently conflicting accounts of things. Would love to the see the painting. I have a pretty vivid recollection of how he looked at La Quinta in 79… Did it change from 77?
