Carl Barney's Mission was stolen from him in 1979 ... and Herbie Parkhouse was very instrumental
in that. (Peter
Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
CBR: ... I was the CO of SU,
which is the Special Unit, ... and I
worked with LRH for a year and a half out there, and since the GO
wasn't there, I did all the Legal and Intelligence for him. And
hatted up Leo Johnson on how to do it, so that he could take over
the Div 6 hats of PR, and so on, for the base. And I got to know LRH's Legal and Intelligence and Public
Relation Policies very well, 'cause I had to get hatted on them
myself. And he was personally directing me and handling these by
conference and by written dispatch.
... So anyway, in 1979 we got this new place and I was working on
that and then the CMO was given the job of getting the whole of
Scientology operating totally on Policy, and making sure every
Org was operating and do an eval on each Org and so on. So most
of the evals required missions, and at that time LRH was
"close" to the lines (in '79), he was only living a few
miles away. And we did missions to all the Orgs.
I was then put on as Chief Missionaire, because I had most of
the experience in missioning. And I did missions to Flag, St.
Louis, FOLO WUS, St. Hill Castle, the Eval Unit, etc, etc. Now on
these missions in 79, I started discovering... - you mostly know,
you go on a mission and it's usually a down-stat, out-ethics area
and you find things. And you find things like somebody trying to
be a plant, or you find somebody that's been PDH'ed, or something
like that.
Well, I kept reporting these to the GO, as you should, and I
kept reporting them to the GO and then I'd go on another mission
and find out that in that place where I'd just done a mission,
that nothing had happened to these guys. They never did remove
them, they never cleaned them up, they never fixed them, they
were still there! Some of them had even been promoted!
So I went to this guy Jimmy Mulligan, who was the highest
"visible"... - 'cause Mary Sue was living in her own
place then. You see, the Boss and her had to live in separate
places because she was under surveillance by the Government all
the time since she was "indicted" now, you see. And she
had to live at a separate house in a different town. So I
couldn't get to her. And that was a secret location. And the Boss
was in a secret location.
And so I went to Mulligan, who was the highest intelligence
terminal in the GO, he was the Controller's Committee for
Intelligence. And I went to him, I said,"I want to talk
to you". (This is in late 1979), I said, "I' ve
been spotting these plants in the Organizations. I've been
reporting them to the GO and the GO has done nothing about them.
Why not?"
And he looked "Oh!" This had shocked him
because it came from left field. I just met him in the hall
there, you see, and he didn't have an answer ready. So he said
"Ah...ah.., well.., if we ..if we... shoot them..,
uh..uh..uh..,they might send in others and we don't know who they
are."
I said, "That's a lie, man. What are you giving me
that bullshit for. Anybody can find a plant on a meter," I
said, "That's a lie". So he said, "Oh
well, yah, ..uh.., yes..,uh..., well it was Mary Sue's
policy". And I knew that was a lie, too. Because I've
done missions for Mary Sue and I know how she feels about plants.
So he lied to me twice there.
And the next thing you know, he did a little 3rd party on me
to the CMO and got me in a Comm-Ev. So that I "wouldn't
remember", you see. But anyway, I remembered that. That he
wouldn't do anything about this, and he was lying to me. I didn't
know why at the time, but it later became apparent. That was late 1979. (CBR-debrief from 1982)
The World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE) founded. (CofS)
They eventually found
several adjoining apartments for rent in new building just off the main street
in Hemet, a small town on the west side of the mountains. Hubbard moved in at
the end of March 1979, along with a slimmed-down staff of messengers and aides. Once all the security precautions were in place, Hubbard relaxed and settled
down to enjoy life in Hemet. (Miller:
"Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 361)
The Hubbard Mark VI E-Meter was released. (CofS)
Mayo goes to Hemet, California and gives LRH assists again because
LRH had just had a cancer operation on the front of his head. They work

Annie Broeker is working for CMO in Clearwater. MSH is also there
operating out of the G.O. Annie is meddling in G.O. affairs and MSH eventually
has had it with her and forces her off post. Annie is then sent back to INT as
useless on management lines. (Criminal

The Sandcastle, a hotel in Clearwater, Florida, purchased as part of
the Flag Land Base, an advanced religious retreat for Scientologists. (CofS)
Through the summer months of 1979, Hubbard followed closely the progress of
the battery of lawyers which was fighting to prevent Mary Sue and her
co-defendants from being brought to trial. In the intimacy of the Hemet
hideaway, he made no secret of his intention to sever all his connections with
his wife. He frequently asserted that he had never known anything about what
Mary Sue was doing and whined about the fact that she was getting him into
trouble. Everyone knew it was a lie.
David Mayo was sent to see Mary Sue at her house off Mulholland Drive in Los
Angeles, to suggest that she might consider a divorce. 'She was really offended
and very upset,' said Mayo. 'I thought she was going to blow my head off. I went
back several times later to make sure that she wasn't going to rat on him.
That's what he was really worried about, that she would reveal during the case
that she was only relaying his orders. She had covered up for him so much, and
there had been so many opportunities for her to betray him, that she couldn't
believe he would think that. She kept saying to me, "What is he worried
about?" I thought to myself, "My God, I can't tell her."'
Hubbard, still not convinced that he could trust his wife, decided to risk
meeting her himself at Gilman Hot Springs. At summer headquarters, no one was
supposed to know that the Commodore was visiting, although it was not hard to
guess since a working party was assigned to spend two days scrubbing 'Bonnie
View' and polishing all surfaces by hand. Mary Sue was told to go to a hotel in
Riverside and wait to be picked up by Kima Douglas, who drove her on a
roundabout route to Gilman, checking all the time that they were not being
followed. Hubbard arrived on the bed in the back of the Dodge Ram, which drove
through the gates of the resort at high speed. Waiting guards immediately put a
chain across the entrance. No messengers were present during the meeting, so no
one knew what was discussed and no one saw either the Commodore or his wife
leave the property. (Miller:
"Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 363)
A major change in church management takes place. The Commodores
Messenger Org International takes over all church management and the Watch
Dog Committee is set up.
LRH orders that messengers who hold management posts are not to stand
watches for him, leaving them free to hold their management position full
time. He ordered to send two messengers to work with him on a permanent basis
who are of no great value on management lines. The two people chosen are Pat
and Annie Broeker. (Criminal

David Miscavige is posted as Action Chief in CMO International.
(Criminal
Time Track: Issue III, (33))
By 1979, Miscavige, at age 19, advanced to the supervisory position of “action chief” in the Commodore’s Messenger Organization. His new job was to send out teams or “missions” to investigate reports Hubbard was getting about poor management of Scientology organizations around the world. Among the young “missionaires” Miscavige enlisted were Mike Rinder and Marty Rathbun, now in their forties and among the highest ranking officials in Scientology.

Instituto de Filosofía Aplicada, A.C., Havre, in Mexico City
founded. (CofS)
Eleven Scientologists,
including Mary Sue Hubbard, are convicted of conspiracy
and imprisoned for between two and six years. L. Ron
Hubbard goes into hiding in California and does not
reappear again until his death in January 1986. Ref: Various, including Los Angeles Times
and other newspaper reports
(Timeline of Scientology versus the IRS)
... in 1978 the
indictment came down on the "nine" (and Mary Sue) that
the FBI had done from the files that were stolen from the Church.
And LRH had offered, right away, he had ordered the GO
lawyers and so on, to TRADE the Kissinger 800 million dollar suit
to the government. ...
And it was getting a little more play now. I think one
Washington paper had mentioned it. So he offered to trade that
suit off: To say we "have insufficient evidence" if you
say you "have insufficient evidence" in the Mary Sue
and nine conspirators case.
That was his order. To trade those two, equal off. They drop
the case against Mary Sue and the nine. We drop the case on
Kissinger.
The GO didn't do that. They traded that suit for one of the
IRS appeal suits. And LRH was so mad at them that he kicked them
all off of the SU area and he wouldn't have any more comm with
them. He warned Mary Sue at the time,"There's something
wrong in the GO. There's something very wrong in there. They're
not complying. They're not acting as if they are on our
side".
And Mary Sue didn't get the word. She didn't look hard enough,
or she didn't believe it, or there were too many people on her
lines telling her that things were "other" than what
LRH was saying.
But in actual fact, the people on her Controller's Committee,
right underneath her, and between her and Jane (because they were
senior to Jane) there were two people on it that were working for
the government. And they were James Mulligan and Anne Mulligan.
All right.
... You may have seen these Court Records of the Mary
Sue case and there's this guy in it named Michael Meisner.
... The whole reason Mary Sue and the nine got
indicted was because of this break-in that the GO did in
Washington to get these papers on Scientology having to do with
the stealing of the documents from Cedars.
Now, you realize that if those comms had been allowed to go
thru, then Mary Sue would never had gone to jail. And I don't
know if you've found that out, I think I told you, but it is a
fact now that Mary Sue is in jail. She's in a prison for women on
the East Bay - it s called East Bay of San Francisco Bay. It's
quite a nice place. It's a white-collar prison. But she's still
in prison and she should not be there.
I wanted to point out something else, too, on the GO's head,
and these plant's heads. That since 1976, before 1976, all the
years that LRH and MSH and the family were onboard the ship under
the Sea Org protection, they were totally safe. Nobody touched a
hair on their heads. Nobody got them in a court room.
Since they moved ashore, they were under GO quote
"protection" and since that time, Mary Sue is in jail,
Quentin is dead, LRH had to move off the lines because of 18 or
more subpoenas on him for various civil cases against the Church,
and the family is quite dispersed.
They don't get together for birthdays anymore. Diana, this
year, has said that she can't even get her comm thru the CMO to
the Old Man. She can't even communicate hardly to her father
anymore. She writes up there but she doesn't know if anything is
getting thru or not. And Arthur is now kicked out of SU. And so
is Suzette.
They are not in SU anymore. They were quote "knocked out
of SU" for quote "out security". When in actual
fact, the thing is that they are very vulnerable themselves to
any attacks because they are members of the family. And they
should be protected. And they are not being protected. And
they're all in the Los Angeles area now.
And Diana is trying to take care of them. And she's also
trying to help her mother. And I also pledged to her that I will
do anything in my power to help get her mother out of jail.
And that whole thing, I say, was caused by the fact of
infiltration and plants in positions in the GO. And, of course,
we all know that Mary Sue should have spotted them, but there
were two right under her, feeding her Legal and Intelligence
data.
James Mulligan was in charge of Intelligence and his wife Anne
Mulligan (they're both homosexuals, by the way - they got
together to make a good "show"), but they chopped all
the Legal and Intelligence lines to Mary Sue, and just let thru
what they wanted her to see, or wrote up their own reports the
way they saw it, or the way they wanted it to be, and that was
the way the Government wanted it. (CBR-debrief from 1982)
The
trial was scheduled for 24 September in Washington, but the government prosecutors and defence attorneys were still bargaining at
that date and a stay was granted. On 8 October, in an unusual legal manoeuvre,
an agreement was reached that the nine defendants would plead guilty to one
count each if the government presented a written statement of its case, thereby
avoiding a lengthy trial. (Miller:
"Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 364)
On 26 October, US District Judge Charles R. Richey accordingly found the nine
Scientologists guilty on one count each of the indictment. Mary Sue and two
others were fined the maximum of $10,000 and jailed for five years. The
remaining defendants received similar fines and prison sentences of between one
and four years. Sentencing Mary Sue, the judge told her: 'We have a precious
system of government in the United States . . . For anyone to use
those laws, or to seek under the guise of those laws, to destroy the very
foundation of the government is totally wrong and cannot be condoned by any
responsible citizen.' All the defendants indicated an intention to appeal on the
grounds that the evidence against them had been obtained illegally. (Miller:
"Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 364)
Scientology lawyers were still hoping to prevent the damning documents seized
in the FBI raids, currently under seal, from being released. But on 23 November,
the day after Thanksgiving, the appellate court ordered the seal to be lifted
and began releasing the documents, much to the delight of newspapers and
television stations throughout the United States. At last they were able to
report the astonishing details of Operation Snow White and give the public a
peek into the strange and secretive world of the Church of Scientology. (Miller:
"Bare-faced Messiah", pg. 364)
'79 and
'80 there was, of course, a great deal of revelation in the press
about the trials in Washington on Mary Sue and Jane Kember and Mo
Budlong, Henning Heldt, Duke Schneider and the rest of the G.O.
people who had been indicted.
And in 1980, Mary Sue and the others pleaded guilty. And then
Jane Kember and Mo Budlong were extradited and also either
pleaded guilty or were found guilty. (Peter
Green debrief, 23.6.1982)
