Debbie VGIs in Guadeloupe!

[HelluvaHoax!]

...

With a different language, tiny population, sporadic civil unrest and Guadeloupe's unemployment rate of 37% it sounds like Debbie goofed the floof on her Admin Scale in deciding which location was the greatest good to flourish and prosper.

Who would want to live there?

Or maybe the question is who would want her to live there?

I guess COB's OT postulates are more tone 40 than Debbie's tone 40 OT postulates.

My guess is that she'd be set up in hotel management, a travel agency, i.e., become part of the tourist economy, not opening a liquor store in a sketchy neighborhood.

That's a damn good guess, hadn't thought of that. She does have extensive experience in running hotels.

I just hope she can resist the temptation to replace room Bibles with Dianetics and order hotel guests to get Sec Checked when they complain about having to attend morning muster.

I think I explained in one of the Voice stories but basically, the reason I maintained Cook couldn't have gotten paid beyond what was stated in the above settlement order is because the terms of the breach were in that agreement; and Scientology couldn't have thus gone back to the court and argued "Cook breached and owes us the million dollars we secretly gave her." And that's still true--there can't be secret money tied to Cook's silence because there's no 'consideration' (a contractual term of art meaning that where, in a bargain, one party gives something and the other party gives nothing, there is no contractual obligation for lack of consideration). But there could be 'secret money' given in exchange for something else, which no one was aware of at the time, that being banishment to Guadeloupe.

I guess some might see the situation as Cook/Baumgarten *wanting* to go to Guadeloupe as opposed to *having* to go to Guadeloupe (and evidence of this would be their having little left here), but my sense is that it benefits Scientology more than it benefits them; to the extent serendipity played a factor, perhaps, but I think Scientology just wanted Cook far away from Marty and US courts. For Cook/Baumgarten, Guadeloupe is an unknown. Sure it's a vacation spot, but it's not like they know anyone. People don't just get up and move to Guadeloupe, even when they have money.

But to the extent Scientology helped this move along, or set her up in a new business, I believe that any financial help they gave or are giving is severely limited and every penny accounted for. The last thing they're going to do is give her enough money to leave her in a position to turn and fund her own litigation against them. So my guess is that she's not being paid so much as having her rent paid, having perhaps a startup business financed, etc., and that would all disappear if she suddenly decided she didn't want to continue cooperating.

Thanks Tikk. I think you have it surrounded.

actually she has no experience in running hotels.

She does, however, have experience in beating the crap out of semi-qualified prospects.

God help us all if the National bank of France decides to hire her.

Debbie claims to have fibro myalgea. An offer of health insurance would relieve a great deal of distress. FM is a big deal to anyone who has it and probably the biggest thing on Debbie's plate, above the COS or even her business.
