I was stunned when Bea Kiddo described her time as Universe Corps C/S in the CofS "church" in Caracas, Venezuela. From her description about having to bring in US dollars and of the "church" itself, it is hard to imagine that it had achieved Old Saint Hill size.

On the other hand, there has been a major political conflict between the Bush administration and Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela. In the past, in countries where such political conflicts with the US Administration existed, the CIA has been operating clandestinely.

In 1993 the Closing Agreement between the IRS and the CofS, was enacted and in the following year, 1994, the CofS utilized INTERPOL and the US Drug Enforcement Agency to illegally harass David Mayo. (www.fzint.net/history/mayo960610.htm) It is hard to imagine that Miscavige had the influence to coerce these organizations, to undertake such an harassment. On the other hand, the IRS and the CIA, would have had such an influence.There is some conjecture as to who ultimately controls the CST which, in turn, controls the CofS through the RTC. The Closing Agreement is incomplete and ambiguous, and there can be no doubt that there is an extant trust which spells out who controls the CofS. The IRS was very much involved in the restructuring of the CofS and the tax exempt concession would allow Miscavige to claim that the CofS had the better of the deal. Whereas, the reality is that he has "sold" the CofS to the US Government. It would appear that Miscavige's commission, is a large "expense account". From the US Governments viewpoint, the CofS is self funding and, in addition, as its assets are converted into real estate, then it would not appear on any US budget.

An international church would be the perfect vehicle for the CIA in its foreign and indeed, its domestic, operations. The CofS has an additional attraction with its own intelligence service. If I'm not mistaken, only the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Latter Day Saints, have their own intelligence services.

I do know that when I was in Venezuela, Chavez originally thought that Scn was behind the Democratic protest movement going on at the time. Somehow they determined that to be untrue. In Vza, the orgs are not that big. I would say only 1000 Scientologists in the entire Country. But that is my own wild guess based on events and so forth that I saw.

I do know when I was there that the American Embassy bailed out months before I left, telling all Americans to get out now, cause it was not safe. I don't know if they ever made it back.:eyeroll:

Chavez is taking over the oil reserves, in the Orinoco area. He has yet to determine how the owners will be compensated. He had better be careful. The US Govt. is not the only group with snipers. There are ex-military who could do the job. I think Castro was let go because he served some purpose. Chavez could just be too dangerous, and step on the wrong toes. Oil companies have lots of money for "political action".

Speaking of it, I received this email today from somebody:

Diane Sawyer on ABC news interviewed the Venezuelan leader Chavez just a
few weeks ago -- March 2007 He is very dangerous, and you can tell he is
thrilled to be selling oil to America and having a foot on the throat of
this country. If you did not hear the interview, the following was
discussed, and it is true. Chavez has all this oil money coming in and the
majority of his own people are living in poverty while he is very rich. He
is best of friends with Castro and Russian leaders. He told Diane Sawyer
that he was friends with all the world leaders, with the exception of the
USA.

CITGO CHANGING NAME...this is serious Americans... make sure you read....

NEWS FLASH:

Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin . The
RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in
Venezuela , to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout
the Americas .

Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him.
It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has
Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed
at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to
the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of
ownership by Chavez of Venezuela.

Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used
against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start
wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions of
free people.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS CITGO.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S.
CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE STARTED TO CHANGE
THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS"

DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! "PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100%
OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING! .

BOYCOTT "CITGO" AND "PETRO EXPRESS".............MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON
TO EVERYONE YOUR YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN THE UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF
AMERICA.

I have never seen or heard a single tiny shred of hard evidence that any US Govt agency has any control whatsoever over DM or any part of the :shark:. One can imagine anything, but if there is no evidence at all, so what? Can anyone provide a single link to any credible testimony online where some ex has said he observed DM after 1986 getting his orders from anyone? Any hint of it? Even from an incredible source? I don't recall ever reading anything like that in all the hundreds of affidavits, personal stories etc.

Read this post (http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.religion.scientology/browse_thread/thread/683fa0aff2369c36/b232e2af7d44503e?lnk=gst&q=sme+cst+cia&rnum=1&hl=en#b232e2af7d44503e) by Larry Brennan on a.r.s. for a good counter-argument written by a long-term senior SO exec who was actively involved in the whole corporate set-up and who has first-hand data.

Hi Paul.
We can either assume that Miscavige has undue influence with Interpol by being able to have them undertake the harassment of David Mayo (http://www.fzint.net/history/mayo960610.htm), or that someone else is calling the shots. I find it impossible to accept that Miscavige has this influence, certainly not the Miscavige I met at Int or the Miscavige described by Jessie Prince, Blownforgood, and others who have posted on the internet. I accept that you do find it quite acceptable that he could have this influence. We could add the astonishing action by President Clinton (http://www.factnet.org/Scientology/cultgate.html) approaching Germany on behalf of the CofS, said to be a favor to his friend Travolta. What was the real reason for Clinton to do something like this? As a favor for a friend, I think not. What did Clinton get out of it? Why would the US President want the CofS in Germany?

Sure the CofS got away with a blood sample as an autopsy on Hubbard and got away with Barnett, while at Gold, "committing suicide" with a rifle, shooting herself three times in the chest and once in the head with no powder burns. Which no doubt could stem from local corruption. And of course, there has been the suggestion that the IRS Commissioner, Goldberg, was blackmailed by the CofS to get a tax exempt status, but how real is this, when there have been six Commissioners since, who could have easily reversed the decision. So why haven't they?

Larry Brennan and his Special Unit colleagues, were very much involved in restructuring of the CofS into the CST/RTC set up, but this was in the early eighties. I have no doubt that Larry has seen the final CST Bylaws and the Closing Agreement of 1993 and has observed that the Bylaws is essentially the same. I also suspect that they were aware that the trustees and the general directors would have to give Miscavige signed undated resignations before their appointments. Larry has made it clear that he is totally satisfied that the ownership of the CofS has not moved out of scientology's hands. Yet I ask whether an undisclosed trust exists, which controls Miscavige or whoever replaces him.

It should never be forgotten that after he left Clearwater/Dunedin, Hubbard leased a Palm Springs ranch from Karno, who subsequently became Hubbard's attorney and did Hubbard's will for him. Sherman Lenske was a partner in Karo's law practice and both had studied under Meade Emory at the UCLA law school, and it was Lenske who set up Hubbard's pour=over will with the two interlocking trusts. Lenske and Emory were the chief architects of the CST/RTC restructuring. Both were acknowledged experts on trusts and tax law. To suggest that Lenske, Lenske, and Heller's payoffs are attorney's fees misses the point. They are monitoring the operation of the CofS for the US Government.

If as I suspect, the CIA is using the CofS or more specifically OSA, as a vehicle to gain clandestine access into other countries, then only Miscavige and perhaps the Head of OSA, Rinder, need to know. And both would be so tightly tied up that one false move.... Is this possible? Were renditions possible?

If Miscavige has done a deal with a government agency, I sure that no one else would be privy to it, and I don't think that Miscavige will be going to make an affidavit stating what he has done, in the near or even distant future.

Of course, I may well be wrong. And I accept that.

I haven't heard of that but maybe that was going on for some time?
Something like that would be very controversial and it would of showed
up on baltic news sources,since most of the time baltic countries follow
very closely what goes on in Russia.You have a situation now in Estonia
now with the recent removal of a "war memorial" and there's been alot
of unrest.I hope it doesn't turn into a Yugoslavia type scenario but
you never know.

Russia's relationship with Cuba was always close during the soviet union
so it wouldn't surprise me but Russia making a move on that type of
percieved expansionist action would be more discussed?

Maybe not?

Hi David,

Interesting ideas.

Hi Paul.
We can either assume that Miscavige has undue influence with Interpol by being able to have them undertake the harassment of David Mayo (http://www.fzint.net/history/mayo960610.htm), or that someone else is calling the shots.

Taking Mayo's write-up at face value, agreed. One piece of circumstantial evidence.

We could add the astonishing action by President Clinton (http://www.factnet.org/Scientology/cultgate.html) approaching Germany on behalf of the CofS, said to be a favor to his friend Travolta. What was the real reason for Clinton to do something like this? As a favor for a friend, I think not. What did Clinton get out of it?

There seemed to be a quid pro quo with Travolta re his portrayal of pseudo-Clinton in the film "Primary Colors". Clinton is known as a movie buff, as well as for his, er, presidential ethics level.

Why would the US President want the CofS in Germany?

Maybe it meant nothing to him either way.

Sure the CofS got away with a blood sample as an autopsy on Hubbard and got away with Barnett, while at Gold, "committing suicide" with a rifle, shooting herself three times in the chest and once in the head with no powder burns. Which no doubt could stem from local corruption.

Agreed.

And of course, there has been the suggestion that the IRS Commissioner, Goldberg, was blackmailed by the CofS to get a tax exempt status, but how real is this, when there have been six Commissioners since, who could have easily reversed the decision. So why haven't they?

And admit that the tax-exempt decision was taken as a result of blackmailing a former commissioner?

<snip> Larry has made it clear that he is totally satisfied that the ownership of the CofS has not moved out of scientology's hands. Yet I ask whether an undisclosed trust exists, which controls Miscavige or whoever replaces him.

Speculation.

It should never be forgotten that after he left Clearwater/Dunedin, Hubbard leased a Palm Springs ranch from Karno, who subsequently became Hubbard's attorney and did Hubbard's will for him. Sherman Lenske was a partner in Karo's law practice and both had studied under Meade Emory at the UCLA law school, and it was Lenske who set up Hubbard's pour=over will with the two interlocking trusts. Lenske and Emory were the chief architects of the CST/RTC restructuring. Both were acknowledged experts on trusts and tax law.

OK. (I don't know if these facts are accurate or not, but I am not quibbling about them).

To suggest that Lenske, Lenske, and Heller's payoffs are attorney's fees misses the point. They are monitoring the operation of the CofS for the US Government.

Wild speculation.

If as I suspect, the CIA is using the CofS or more specifically OSA, as a vehicle to gain clandestine access into other countries, then only Miscavige and perhaps the Head of OSA, Rinder, need to know. And both would be so tightly tied up that one false move.... Is this possible? Were renditions possible?

If Miscavige has done a deal with a government agency, I sure that no one else would be privy to it, and I don't think that Miscavige will be going to make an affidavit stating what he has done, in the near or even distant future.

Of course, I may well be wrong. And I accept that.

Regards, David:eyeroll:

Again, wild speculation.

I love "conspiracy theories", or more properly, alternative non-mainstream explanations for world events. I believe that the US "moon landings" didn't take place. I believe that 9/11 was an inside job. I believe that the world is indeed heading for a "New World Order" with each passing day, orchestrated by an elite, with official world governments being mere puppet shows. And lots more. But all these beliefs stem from a great deal of research and viewing of hard evidence. Do I believe that Markabians walk the Earth? No. Why? No real evidence that I have seen.

I could quite easily accept the idea that some US Gov't agencies were running the CofS. Except I haven't seen any real evidence to support it, and have seen a great deal to suggest otherwise. Yes, it is not theoretically impossible that the CIA remote viewing experiments revealed the potential inherent in "OTs" being used for clandestine observations, as well as the dangers, and someone decided that any tech in use likely to produce such persons should be rendered ineffective one way or another.

But how do such actions get put into effect? Without anyone noticing! How do these superspy attorneys get their information? How do they relay their orders to Miscavige, or Rinder? By telepathy? By despatch? Cell-phone? E-mail? All without leaving any trace that anyone who has defected--and at one time was highly trusted--had noticed? Or even had any suspicion of? In an environment where paranoia is endemic, e-meters are in constant use, and some people are very perceptive in theta bands of communication?

How many articles have you seen on the Net, David, where someone like Vicki Aznaran or Jesse Prince, or even recent defectors on XSO or a.r.s. or ESMB have said they saw even one single suspicious item that looked like DM was conspiring with some outside agency? I have spent thousands upon thousands of hours reading about Scn on the Net since 1996, and I don't recall one such item, not a single one.

Yes, that one Interpol action against Mayo was strange. I don't have a ready explanation for it. It is an outpoint. One outpoint.

Where are all the other outpoints that don't have simpler explanations?

Regards, David:eyeroll:

All accounts indicate Miscavidge recieves orders from no one. Mayo is not the only one to find harrassment from various authorities. Other people, including a friend in our local FZ group ( The Mentor in the beginners guide TV program) get hassled every time they cross a border. In the latter case the Swiss border. I believe it is easy to arrange that by giving anon information that someone is a drug dealer or terrorist. Interpol would I presume circulate such matters world wide. And your name would be on a list of people to be checked. Note that Mayo was arrested by Drug Police. I expect damaging scientology property would not get one on such a list.

Zenon Parnousis and Karin Spaink had the same treatment, searched for drugs crossing a border, after one of their court cases in I bekieve Sweden.

Bill Clinton may have been motivated by the movie Travolta was working on
per the URL you quoted.

I think its quite possible that Miscavidge and Rinder have made a deal of some sorts with the CIA. The CIA have used people in civilian companies for a long time. I believe they were impressed by the covert skills displayed by the GO in operation snowhite. OSA operatives do what they are told and operate on a need to know basis. Ha! Civilian operatives already trained in covert ops. Where would the CIA find better better potential recruits? Further taking their orders from Rinder and Miscavidge gices the CIA plausable denial. COS are international. Your comments re this happening in Venezuala seem very possible. I'm sure some suitable exchange could be worked out. Plain cash would probably do.

The meeting with Interpol seems to be a part of Miscavidge using policy reversely. His use of them seems plain vindictiveness. The Channel 4 film has been made, why have one of the people responsible be still harrassed. But
thats what Interpol can do for Miscavidge. Not sure what he can do for them other than to stop black PRing them which had been going on for years.

It is surprising how few times a phrase with even common words will appear, unless it is an obvious well-known one.

Often the article in question will turn up as an urban legend, or hoax.

Hi Paul,

Well at least we agree that there is a significant discrepancy or "outpoint" in the harassment of David Mayo. For rather obvious reasons, we are not able to dig any deeper into the sequence of events which lead to this harassment. So that all that is left to us is to either simply ignore it or look at various scenarios which could account for this action to have taken place. I have looked at one scenario which I feel is probable, and I have no doubt there are potentially many others. However, I am not inclined to ignore it as if the CofS is being used by the US Government, then attempting to destroy it would be a waste of energy and time.

BTW, I would never have thought that the DEA was a member of Interpol. I, perhaps naively, thought it was simply police forces around the world. It would be interesting to know which US organizations, are members. As the DEA is a member, then so too would be the FBI. Would NSA and CIA be members?

Aren't you overlooking the obvious - any Gov Agency can be used by the use of false reports and false documents to investigate and potentially harass anyone.

There are many FBI - Freedom Of Info documents of LRH doing just that.

The IRS keeps its docs secret, as do the CIA, NSA, Interpol, etc.

Hi Alan.

I did consider it, but the following extract from Mayo"s posting made me very suspicious.

...

On August 4, 1994, Scientology(tm) utilized INTERPOL, the US DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), and the DNCD (Dominicana Nacional Control de Drogas) to try to enforce Scientology's(tm) religious beliefs on me, to persecute me and to get me jailed by false allegations to INTERPOL. INTERPOL had received and acted on a report that I was "practicing Scientology(tm) without a license"; that I had "destroyed Scientology(tm) property"; that I was "representing" myself as a "Scientologist". Ventura Bayonet, head of the Dominican Republic DNCD said that he decided to act as a result of a phone call from INTERPOL alleging that I had damaged "millions of dollars of Scientology(tm) property".

...

Why would a drug enforcement agency be interested in non-drug related allegations? acting on a telephone call? denying access to the US Embassy?

No Alan, there is something not quite right here. But thank you for your suggestion.

Scientologists talking amongst themselves use the language they are familiar with.

If I am posting to a non-Scientology website, or speaking in person to a non-Scientologist, I use regular English, even if I am talking about some Scientology concept or experience.

But to use regular English in discussing everyday Scientology matters, with Scientologists, is pretty much impossible. It is a specialised subject. To translate the technical terms into non-technical terms would take too long, and be pointless, if one is trying to communicate to those who understand what one is talking about.

I have no objection at all to a non-Scientologist reading what I say and getting what they can out of it, but I am not going to add footnotes to every post I make to explain routine terminology, nor water down my use of it. It's rough for an outsider, but there are glossaries online, or you can always use Google.

Others may be more considerate than me!

I find this very interesting, thanks for the post, David.

Due to some personal experiences, I have been very interested in this topic, but do not wish to elaborate at this stage.

One thing I can say - it is utterly naive for anyone to think that the CoS does not have political ambitions. They are in "good standing" with many governments around the world, and can third party a person to government authorities with ease. I also know, from David Mayo himself, some of what he was put through - he specifically spoke to me about what happened to him and Julie in the Dominican Republic.

Now, it is clear the CoS enjoy good relations with police authorities in many countries, with government, with Interpol, and other agencies. That is evident, and anyone denying that is fooling themselves.

It is also clear that one does not get into good standing with said groups without giving something back. It is that part that fascinates me. What is the CoS giving to these agencies, that have allowed them to be in such favour? Certainly not money, they do not have enough, and what they have is tied up in their "war chest", and DM's executive privileges.

There is lots of speculation, some good reasoning, but obviously, hard evidence is very hard to obtain. The subject continues to interest me, and I continue to research it. It is their influence over many governments worldwide that interests me the most.

Thanks again, David for asking some pertinent questions. I don't think we should have a knee-jerk "OMG conspiracy theory" reaction, but rather, should keep our minds open.

A few thoughts on all this:

Having three of the four directors of CST can only mean that they want the freedom to exercise control over the hierarchy as and when they want to. it could serve no other purpose that I can think of. This does not imply that there is at present any control being exerted - it's just there for when they need it.

Secondly, probably the USA is not an area where they need to get organisations into place - more likely this will be in third world countries. In the past spy agencies have made use of the World Wildlife people for this end. probably they are using other groups too. CofS with it's peripheral front groups in education etc is a perfect cover. An agent could easily be infiltrated into that group and he's all set up. Sec Checks are unlikely there.

None of these CIA set-ups need be active now - they a long range projects that will pay off in years to come.

Lastly, if the CofS should collapse and bite the dust (as we all hope) then CST will doubtless inherit all of the assets and all of the real estate. I don't see Uncle Sam complaining about that.
