Scientology Lies

February 12, 1986: Scientologist Cheryl S's mother dies. Cheryl would later write, "Despite her death, I had to report to post and was sent to Ethics for being late. This was not an isolated event. There was a woman who blew course to be with a dying parent and upon her return she was put in lower conditions. I know, because I had to read her liability write up (explained below). I now believe this practice is used to break any emotional ties you have with anyone so that your complete loyalty will be with Scientology only."

January 18, 1985: Clearwater Police Lt. Emmons speaks with Inspector Ormsby of the Ontario Crown Attorney's Office regarding the steps needed to get the OCAO's analysis of Scientology's finances. Emmons contacts City Attorney Buston and asks for help with the paperwork needed to get the report.

December 7, 1987: Sociologist Stephen Kent interviews "Fern," a former Sea Org member.

They'd be working all night ...the nursery conditions were terrible. ..."

July 23, 1989: Scientologist Jody Darling creates a proposal for fellow Scientologist Albert Jaquier. It is a lengthy, handwritten document asking Jaquier to "invest" in Pacific Training Systems. Included was one whole page detailing his Scientology credentials and naming CofS officials who could vouch for him. In the proposal he promised annual profits of 18-25% on the investment, quote " Our investment options give a return on the order of 18-25%". The proposal was in French since Albert did not speak English. Jaquier agrees to "invest" $200,000; $100,000 as purchase of "stock" and $100,000 as a loan at 21.6% interest (interest rate suggested by Darling). A contract will be signed on 5 August 1989, and Albert will arrange to transfer the money from Switzerland.

May 8, 1989: At a public meeting in Newkirk, OK, Leroy Bridges of the State Mental Health Department tells a group of about 80 people that there would be "no Oklahoma patients" treated at the Narconon facility, except for a few indigent Indians. Mr. Bridges also says that no state money would be involved. But a 1988 document in the package by John Duff, president of Narconon International, lists local and Oklahoma people as the top priorities in the Narconon marketing plan. It also lists "State Contracts that pay for beds," as a priority. At the same meeting, Mr. Bridges tells the citizens of Newkirk that Narconon had voluntarily placed itself under jurisdiction of the state for matters of law enforcement and inspection of their program and facilities. However, a letter from Sheriff Glenn Guinn says, "As I understand it, I have no authority on Chilocco land. Everything at Chilocco comes under the F.B.I., and we have one F.B.I. agent in this area stationed at Enid."
