1972 (SRI)

Hal Puthoff is still the head of the CIA’s Remote Viewing Program at (SRI).

He remains the head of this program until 1985. Also involved is Louis Jolyn West, a psychiatrist who is a brainwashing specialist, and CIA ties going back to the early 1950’s.

Ingo Swann uses his ability to exteriorize to spy on Russia, on behalf of the US Intelligence community. Pat Price was the best at remote viewing. He is said to have gone on from there to work directly for the CIA, with Ken Kress as his handler.

Later in time, Pat Price decided to leave his spy work for the CIA and return to SRI. He stopped over in Las Vegas and died of a purported heart attack in his hotel room. There was no autopsy performed, allegedly due to the persuasion of an unknown individual with a briefcase full of Price’s medical records.

Ingo Swann then set up a training program to teach others how to do Remote Viewing.

This, of course, uses Scientology exteriorization techniques, such as anchor point processes and Route 1 processes out of the LRH book Creation Of Human Ability.

To test Swann’s program, CIA officer, Major Ed Dames, and five others go to SRI as a training group. The results were more than anyone had anticipated.

Major Dames says that within 6 months the team members were producing psychically derived data with more consistency and accuracy than the most renown natural (untrained) psychics in the world.

Major Dames then acts as the Training and Operations Officer at the SRI Remote Viewing Program for “a new psychic intelligence community”. In other words, they were using the ability to exteriorize for spying purposes. (Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (11, 61))


A chronological investigative analysis of once-classified intelligence reports, corporate papers, copyright and trademark records, court documents, and other public records has exposed a massive and pervasive co-ordination of the Executive and Judicial Branches in order to effect a cover-up, since at least 1972, of copyrighted Scientology technologies being illegally utilized in United States strategic intelligence. The study shows that the cover-up has reached all the way to the Oval Office.

The timeline of events documents that an employee of the National Security Agency (NSA), Dr. Harold Puthoff, infiltrated Scientology, completed its confidential upper-level courses, and almost immediately secured a top-secret contract with the Central Intelligence Agency to set up the CIA-initiated "remote-viewing" intelligence program. The evidence is that the program secretly utilized Scientology techniques-- intellectual property of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard--without Hubbard's or any Scientology organization's knowledge or permission, and without compensation.

The study also shows that Scientology's Guardian's Office (GO)--headed by Hubbard's wife Mary Sue--had province over the intellectual properties being illegally used by the federal government. The GO became embroiled in protracted litigation, via the churches, of numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suits against NSA, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of Defense, the Secret Service, and other Executive Branch departments and agencies.

The FOIA suits sought the release of documents related to Scientology and to L. Ron Hubbard that were known to exist, but were being withheld by the federal intelligence agencies and the Defense Department, among others, on grounds of NATIONAL SECURITY.

One ruling against the Scientologists even went so far as to justify withholding of documents about Scientology on the grounds that the Director of CIA is "responsible for protecting intelligence sources AND METHODS from unauthorized disclosure...[emphasis added]." Neither Hubbard, his wife, nor the Guardian's Office knew the exact nature of the documents, nor about Hubbard's copyrighted materials being illegally used by the federal intelligence agencies. (Public Research Foundation: Press Release: 29.8.2000)

1972-1982

From 1972 to 1982, LRH and MSH created a Liberian Corporation called the Religious Research Foundation with numbered bank accounts in Liechtenstein.

The RRF and these bank accounts were dominated and controlled by LRH. In excess of 100 million dollars belonging to the Church of Scientology was illegally transferred into the RRF accounts, for the personal control and use of LRH. This constituted unlawful inurement.

After LRH died, these funds were then within the estate of LRH where they came to be in the possession, custody and control of Norman Starkey, executor of LRH’s estate. It is alleged that these funds were then illegally seized and stolen by David Miscavige in a fraud perpetrated on LRH’s heirs.(Criminal Time Track: Issue III, (13, 45))

1972

In 1972, we got this ship, the "Commodore Queen". ...

... 1972 passed in such fashion, visiting various ports and so on, improving PR, and trying to get the GO again to HANDLE most of these government attacks on the OUTSIDE.... Meanwhile, LRH and his family are very safe and they still go to the movies and they're still together. (CBR-debrief from 1982)

1972, beg.

The Apollo was docked in Tangier. 

Having reportedly come down with some ailment that has a "bewildering combination of symptoms," LRH allegedly sends a note to Jim Dincalci, the ship's medical officer: "Jim, I don't think I'm going to make it."

Mary Sue was busy supervising the decoration and furnishing of a split-level modern house, the Villa Laura, on a hillside in the suburbs of Tangier. The Hubbards planned to move ashore while the ship was put into dry dock for a re-fit and Mary Sue was looking forward to it.

Some months previously, the Sea Org had set up a land base in a small huddle of office buildings on the airport road outside Tangier. They erect a sign on the road announcing, in English, French and Arabic, the arrival of "Operation and Transport Corporation Limited, International Business Management."

  1. Any instance in which "Intelligence" must be referred to broadly or on a remimeo or all staff issue, as in org board posting or staff lists, the word ‘Information’ is to be substituted. Hence, D/G for Intelligence and Port Intelligence Officer become D/G for Information and Port Information Officer respectively.

1972, March

Jim Dincalci consults with Otto Roos, one of the senior technical Scientologists on board the Apollo, about LRH's "mysterious illness." 

Roos ventures the view that the problem stems from some incident which has not been properly audited. The only way to find it is to comb through all the folders in which Ron's auditing sessions were recorded. LRH ostensibly gives his approval to this course of action, adding a note to Otto Roos: "I'm delighted that somebody is finally going to take responsibility for my auditing."(Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 309)

... Howard D. Jones, the local American consul general despatched to Washington on 26 April 1972: 'Little is known of the operations of Operation and Transport Company here, and its officers are elusive about what it does. However, we presume that the Scientologists aboard the Apollo and in Tangier do whatever it is that Scientologists do elsewhere.

'There have been rumours in town that Apollo is involved in drug or white slave traffic. However, we doubt these reports... The stories about white slave traffic undoubtedly stem from the fact that included among the crew of the Apollo are a large number of strikingly beautiful young ladies. However, we are skeptical that a vessel that stands out like a sore thumb, in which considerable interest is bound to be generated, and with a crew numbering in hundreds, would be a reasonable vehicle for smuggling or white slaving.'

A colonel in Rabat, Morocco, makes friends with Amos Jessup and Peter Warren, who demonstrate the E-meter to him. "He was properly amazed by it," said Jessup, "and arranged for us to give a presentation to a general who was said to be a friend of the Minister of Defence [Muhammad Oufkir] and the right hand man of the King [Hassan II]. We were taken to this gigantic, luxurious house, where we did a few drills. The general said he was very interested and would get back to us. We waited in a little apartment in Rabat the Sea Org had rented to us, but didn't hear anything so went back to the ship. Shortly afterwards, the general led an unsuccessful coup and committed suicide. We realized then that he wouldn't have passed word about the E-meter to the King." 

Another OTC mission is having success with the Moroccan secret police, and starts a training course for senior policemen and intelligence agents, showing them how to use the E-meter to detect political subversives. 

The Apollo, meanwhile, sailed for Lisbon for her re-fit and Mary Sue and Ron moved into the Villa Laura in Tangier. Hubbard seemed strangely depressed; Doreen Smith reported that he often talked about 'dropping his body', (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 311)

1972, Sept.

Nibs: After 'blowing the org' in 1959... he had drifted from job to job, finding it ever more difficult to support his wife and six children, and as the realization dawned that he would never be allowed back into Scientology, he became an even more prominent critic of his father and his father's 'church'. When the church was locked in litigation with the Internal Revenue Service, Nibs testified on behalf of the IRS.

In September 1972, Mary Sue orchestrated a campaign to 'handle' Nibs, instituting a search through all the Sea Org files and instructing the Guardian's office to do the same. She told an aide that Nibs' 'big button' was money and that it was time to start hunting through the old files to dig up former complaints about him. (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 311) 

1970, 2.9.

Scientologists have reason to believe that in the continuing and intensive investigation of their Church, IRS agents are employing some of the spying techniques described above.

The importance the Scientology surveillance programme has for the IRS is indicated by the fact that on September 2, 1970, S. B. Wolfe, director of the Audit Division, issued a lengthy three-page confidential supplement (42G(11)6G53) to their Manual, describing the background of the Church and instructing district offices to be alert to identify any Scientology-type organizations filing returns.

A special, Scientology Case Report form (M-0696) was printed by the agency's National Office and distributed to each region's Exempt Organization Program Director.

In keeping with the IRS practice of disposing of investigational notes or information that might be subpoenaed in a court trial, the directive said: "On completion of this program, remaining stock of forms M-o696 should be destroyed. This report is exempt from control under IRM 1(2o)16.35 (1)(f)." (Garrison: Hidden Story of Scientology, pg. 177)

The OTC training course for Moroccan secret policeman is allegedly breaking up in disarray under the stress of internecine intrigue between pro-monarchy and anti-monarchy factions and the fear of what the E-meter might reveal. "It was a crazy set up;" said Amos Jessup, "you couldn't tell who was on which side." (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 312)

On November 19, 1972, a shipment of chocolates being sent via air freight by the church was detained and field tested by the Narcotics Squad of the Spanish Secret Police who said that they found indications of LSD. They arrested six Americans and two British subjects who were concerned with air freight to and from the Apollo and the various Scientology churches.

The Scientologists were taken to a police station; locked in filthy cells and badly treated. (O. Garrison, Playing Dirty, pg. 80/81)


CBR: And the police came in, threw everybody in jail, treated them badly - they didn't torture them exactly, but they didn't give them much to eat and they kept them in isolation cells, wouldn't let them talk or see any lawyers or anything like that.

Finally they got word out by one person that hadn't been there. He found out they were in jail and he got a comm back to the ship. They sent a mission up to handle it. And they finally got a lawyer and got them out of jail. And they didn't find any drugs, of course, they didn't find any evidence, and they finally had to let them go. (CBR-debrief from 1982)

1972, Dec.

Word arrives from Paris that the Church of Scientology in France is about to be indicted for fraud. There is a suggestion that French lawyers will be seeking LRH's extradition from Morocco to face charges in Paris. LRH "decides it is time to go." There is a ferry leaving Tangier for Lisbon in forty-eight hours: LRH orders everyone to be on it, with all the OTC's movable property and every scrap of paper that can not be shredded. For the next two days, convoys of cars, trucks and motor-cycles can be observed, day and night, scurrying back and forth from OTC "land bases" in Morocco to the port in Tangier. (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 312) 


...in December 1972, the Tangiers police asked the Apollo to leave Morrocan waters. (O. Garrison, Playing Dirty, pg. 80/81)

1972, 3.12.

Sunday, 03 December: The land-based Church of Scientology in Morocco, where LRH and much of Flag have been land-based while the Apollo was in drydock in Lisbon, has been unmocked. Everyone leaves on the Tangiers-to-Lisbon ferry except for LRH. He reportedly is driven from Villa Laura to the airport, where a direct flight is leaving for Lisbon, Portugal, that afternoon. Sea Org personnel are waiting to meeting him in Lisbon, and they hurry him through the airport to a waiting car which heads downtown to the Lisbon Sheraton. Lawyers in Paris, Lisbon and New York are assessing the risk of his extradition to face fraud charges in France. With LRH in the hotel are Ken Urquhart, Jim Dincalci and Paul Preston--a former Green Beret "recently appointed as the Commodore's bodyguard." After a few hours there is a telephone call from the Port Captain. As a result, when LRH puts the phone down he allegedly says, "This is really serious. I've got to get out of here now." Urquhart is sent out to book seats on the first available flight to the United States and collect some cash. It is agreed that Preston will travel with LRH, and Dincalci will "shadow" them so that "he can inform the ship immediately if there are any problems." Urquhart returns with three Lisbon-Chicago tickets on a flight leaving early next morning. Although he has booked them through to Chicago, the flight will stop in New York, and Urquhart suggests they get off there in case there is a "welcoming party" waiting at Chicago's O'Hare airport. He also has a briefcase stuffed with banknotes in different currencies--escudos, marks, francs, pounds, dollars and Moroccan dirhams, about $100,000 in total; "it was the best he could do," he tells Ron. (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 313/314) 

1972, late

When Australia's first Labour government in twenty three years took the reins in late 1972, the tide against Scientology began to turn. True to his party's promise that if Labour won in the December federal elections, Scientology ministers would be registered under the Australia Commonwealth Marriages Act, the new Attorney-General registered the Church a few months after taking office.

Australian law provides that such registration is all that is needed to establish religious bona fides throughout the country. It had the effect of anulling the anti-Scientology measure passed by the Victorian Parliament, West Australia's promise to repeal was honoured in 1973, and will undoubtedly speed action on a bill to repeal similar legislation in South Australia, still pending at this writing (1974). (Garrison: Hidden Story of Scientology, pg. 174)

1972, 4.12.

Monday, 04 December 1972: In Lisbon, LRH boards an early morning flight for Chicago, with a stop-over in New York. Traveling with him are Paul Preston--a former Green Beret who is assigned as his body guard--and Jim Dincalci--former male nurse and "Medical Officer" of the Appolo. LRH is supposedly carrying a briefcase stuffed with banknotes in different currencies--escudos, marks, francs, pounds, dollars and Moroccan dirhams, about $100,000 in total. Their plan is to deplane in New York. There, LRH is detained by Customs when the money in his briefcase is discovered, and he is invited to step into an interview room. According to Dincalci, he comes out about 15 minutes later "looking like a Zombie" and "in shock." They take a taxi to a motel, and wind up staying in New York for 10 months. (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 314) 


On 4 December 1972, L. Ron Hubbard was abducted by agents of the United States government when the plane he was traveling on from Lisbon landed in New York City. Jim Dincalci - a former nurse - and Paul Preston - a former Green Beret - were the only two people with him when it occurred.

LRH was "gone" for ten months, until mid-September 1973 when he "returned" to Flag.

It is Dincalci's testimony that during this MISSING TEN MONTHS, LRH was "hiding out" in Queens, New York - with only Dincalci and Preston as witnesses - and that during this period LRH purportedly wrote the project that launched "Snow White."

It is unknown whether LRH was replaced by a "ringer" during that ten months, or was PDHed and made dependent on pharmaceuticals. What is known is that after his "return," he was never remotely the same, that he never again gave another extemporaneous lecture (which he had done for the twenty-two years prior), and that he never personally wrote another Scientology book. 1973 Mid Sept., L. Ron Hubbard returns (?) to the Apollo. (LRH - The missing ten Months)


Dincalci soon found a suitable apartment in Queens, in a fifteen-storey building with its own heated swimming-pool called 'The Executive'. It was in a safe, upper middle-class residential area close to Forest Hills and convenient for the subway.

While Preston stayed in the apartment to look after Hubbard, Dincalci went out every day to the United Nations building to research international extradition laws. A few days before Christmas 1972, he returned to the apartment and told Ron he was in the clear; he had established beyond doubt that the United States would not extradite its own citizens. Hubbard began making plans to travel, to visit the org in Los Angeles. He even thought about throwing a party, but within a couple of days a message arrived from the Guardian's Office in California telling him he was still not safe and to stay undercover. (Miller: "Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 315)
