Time: 10:00 a.m. Courtroom: 7 STEVEN FISH AND UWE GEERTZ, Defendants. DECLARATION OF ANDRE TABAYOYON I, ANDRE TABAYOYON, declare as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. I am over the age of 18 years. 2. I have been retained as an expert consultant and expert witness by Dr. Geertz's counsel in the case captioned Church of Scientology International v. Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz, No. CV 91-6426-HLH (Tx) currently pending in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The statements herein are of my own personal knowledge or reasonably based on information and belief, and if called upon as a witness, I can testify competently thereto. 3. This declaration is submitted in support of defendant Dr. Uwe Geertz's motion for costs, attorneys' fees and sanctions. 4. In preparation for this declaration, inter alia, read the declarations submitted by David Miscavige ("Miscavige"), Marc Yeager, Ray Mithoff, Guillaume LeServe and Norman Starkey in an effort to persuade this Court that CSI has complied with the orders of the Magistrate Judge and this Court to attend depositions. 5. Since being designated as an expert witness herein, I have become aware of the presence of myself being under surveillance. On a trip to Arizona I was followed by a van and a car. In Mesa, Arizona I was followed to breakfast and the person was even aware that we knew he was watching us. While in Newport Beach we were followed to and from Mr. Berry's office daily. I am currently in my home and there is a blue late model Pontiac waiting to follow me wherever I go. PERSONAL SCIENTOLOGY BACKGROUND 6. Before I became a Scientologist, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I served one tour of duty in Vietnam. I was in the infantry and assigned as a scout to secure sites, often behind enemy lines, from which Marine snipers would eliminate targets using specially constructed sniper rifles. It was also my responsibility to get the highly trained and therefore very valuable snipers back safely to allied lines. Because of the high likelihood that I would be operating for extended periods of time behind enemy lines, I received escape and evasion training both in the Philippines and in Vietnam. In addition to escape and evasion training, I also received instruction on how to resist anticipated brainwashing and coercive persuasion techniques likely to be employed if I was captured alive. Because of the covert nature of the operations to which I was assigned, I was also trained how even the most innocent utensils could be used to end my own life and thereby prevent any captors from extracting information that might compromise my mission or my country. My missions required that I kill a number of Vietnamese, including some at close range, some of whom died in my arms. These events left a lasting and negative impression on me. 7. After returning from Vietnam, I was plagued by nightmares and other disabling memories of my experiences as a front line combat fighter. When I returned post traumatic stress syndrome was not well understood. The military and veteran's hospitals provided almost no assistance to me or a number of my companions who suffered from similar problems. I was determined not to descend into the depths of degradation that followed from the abuse of narcotics and other drugs, whether legal or illegal. 8. While I was in this unsettled state, I was recruited into Scientology. The attraction was, in part, the promise that Scientology would provide me with the means to deal with these disturbing memories and nightmares. 9. Various forms of coercive persuasion are used in all areas of Scientology. A working term in Scientology is registration ("reg") cycle. During a reg cycle, parishioners are coercively persuaded to do something which a senior Scientologist believes will be good for Scientology. In my 21 years of membership in Scientology, I personally observed how auditors and others identify a person's "hot button." I saw how auditors used many individual's hot buttons in the various types of interviews (ethics, chaplin, registration, counseling, etc.) to coerce the parishioner into donating money, doing the next service, joining the Sea Org, going to the RPF and agreeing to forego spending time with their children and families in order to devote greater time and effort to the good of Scientology. 10. After joining Scientology, I became a member of the Sea Organization ("Sea Org"). A Hubbard Communications Office policy letter defines the Sea Org as: "The elite religious fellowship within the Church of scientology. The Sea Org is not incorporated and is not part of any corporation. Its membership is involved in Churn management and the delivery of the higher level services of the Church." Finance Series 11R. Exhibit A. 11. The indoctrination I received in the Sea Organization was extensive. It fully acquainted me with the coercive methods that Scientology uses on its staff and public. My training included the following courses which had the content as indicated below: (a) FLAG EXECUTIVE BRIEFING COURSE - All the policy ever written by Hubbard about the running, debugging, and if needed, the creation of a complete organization using thought reform ideas and practices in conjunction with coercive persuasion on the staff and public. (b) ORG EXECUTIVE COURSE - All the policy ever written by Hubbard about the running, debugging, and if needed, the creation of a complete organization using thought reform ideas and practices in conjunction with coercive persuasion on the staff and public. (c) SEA ORG OFFICER TRAINING - This course covered all of the Flag Orders, Flag Ship Orders, Central Bureau Orders, mission school tech and included all of the policy written by Hubbard about creating, running and debugging a complete Scientology organization using thought reform concepts and practices in conjunction with coercive persuasion on both staff and public Scientologists. (d) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE INDOCTRINATION TRAINING - (e) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE SECTION OFFICER HAT - (f) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE MASTER AT ARMS HAT - I learned in the above course(s) how to use thought reform processes to make persons amenable to persuasion. (g) REHABILITATION PROTECT FORCE TECH IN CHARGE HAT - I learned how to administer various thought, ideological and social reform procedures to reorient now compliant subjects of thought reform- to accept Scientology goals as articulated by Hubbard and/or Miscavige. (h) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE QUAL IN CHARGE HAT - This training taught me how to recognize misapplication of thought, ideological and social reform procedures so as to maximize the effect that coercive persuasion had on subjects under my supervision. (i) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE CASE SUPERVISOR TRAINING - I was taught how to use thought reform procedures to change the most fundamental aspects of a subject's personality and exact a commitment from the subject to further Scientology's goal of clearing planet Earth. (j) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE AUDITOR TRAINING - I learned how to use thought reform to coerce subjects into confessing their crimes and sins against Scientology as a step towards their "rehabilitation" as dedicated Scientologists. (k) ROLL BACK TRAINING - I received training on how to trace rumors, statements of disaffection or anti-Scientology thought back to its source so that it could be obliterated and sources of disaffection eliminated. (l) BLACK PR RUNDOWN TRAINING - This training was to teach you how to find out who is spreading negative information and to fully handle him with coercive mind practices. I learned how to ferret out negative information about Scientology; once found out, those who are guilty become targets for internal "Fair Game" tactics such as the RPF's RPF. RPF or general mental abuse. (m) TRUTH RUNDOWN TRAINING - I learned how to use thought reform to correct improper conduct by persons spreading rumors or black PR about Scientology. (n) INTROSPECTION TRAINING - I learned Scientological techniques to reach persons who had suffered psychotic breaks during the thought reform process. Persons in this condition were not capable of relating to the real world. For the most part, introspection training focused on limiting the stimuli to which the victims were exposed with the hope that over time they would recover. (o) FALSE PURPOSE RUNDOWN TRAINING - These are a whole series of thought reform practices used to change people's way of thinking. I learned how to supervise auditors reforming thoughts of people, while on the RPF. (p) FALSE DATA STRIPPING TRAINING - This is a technique to ferret out and remove out tech (Non-orthodox Scientology) ideas and to replace the out tech ideas with Hubbard's information. (q) EDUCATION PROCESS KTL -This is a major training ordeal where the person is completely re indoctrinated in the basic grammar and use of the English language to communicate Scientological principles concisely and correctly. (r) TOO GRUESOME TRAINING - This training teaches a supervisor how to instill complete terror and abject fear in subordinates so that the subordinates will comply with the supervisor's orders without question. I have been a member of various Churches of Scientology for 21 years from 1971 to 1992. During this time, I received extensive and intensive training as a Scientologist. 13. I was also a member of the Sea Organization ("Sea Org"), which I joined in 1972. The Sea Org is a fraternal organization of Scientologists zealously dedicated to the protection and advancement of Scientology and its leaders. Sea Org members are expected to get their assignments completed regardless of the obstacles. The staff of CSI, RTC and all Scientology organizations above Class IV Orgs are Sea Org members. 14. Hubbard established the Sea Org as an international solution to periodic insolvencies which had afflicted various Scientology organizations during the first decades of Scientology's existence. 15. Within Scientology, Sea Org members have unquestioned authority over the affairs of Scientology organizations. This authority is exercised in a number of ways. First, Sea Org members can be sent into any Scientology Organization, or business owned by a Scientologist, organization or a mission. Historically, Guardian Office Missions and Sea Org Missions were one and the same. When Sea Org members are on a mission, they have full ethics powers to take whatever steps are necessary for the greater good of Scientology. CMO Int Messengers (commodores messenger organization International Messengers) are always on Mission so they had full authority to issue whatever orders they deem appropriate. CMO Int Messengers had the full authority of Hubbard when he was alive. Hubbard was then Commodore of the Sea Org. Now they have the full authority of Miscavige. 16. The Sea Organization is to Scientology what the Communist Party was to Soviet Russia and the Gestapo was to Nazi Germany. Indeed, Sea Org members were not allowed to read communist doctrines, or magazines and books about mind control and thought reform because of the similarity to the Sea Org life that these documents present. 17. I signed the standard Sea Org contract requiring me to serve the Sea Org for one billion years. This I would do by serving the Sea Org in every one of my future lives with 21 year vacations at the commencement of each life, so that the contract would not be void for incapacity due to youthfulness or infancy. 18. As a Sea Org member, I received thousands of hours of training in basic Sea Org policy. In 1977 I was assigned to the Rehabilitation Project Force for 18 months. In 1980 I was assigned to the RPF for another 2 1/2 years. In 1987 I was again assigned to the RPF for another 18 months. Accordingly, I spent approx. six years in total on the RPF. During these six years I also spent time --19 full days-- on the RPF's RPF. The RPF's RPF is designed to totally destroy any individual determinism to not want to do the RPF. RPF is a totally involuntary type gulag or concentration camp. In order to get out, and stay out, you must prove that you have altered the ideals, morals, social and emotional and attitudinal values of another member of the RPF of a long duration as evidenced by the physical actions and motions of the person so altered. One must also prepare written evidence in the form of success stories of how wonderful and voluntary the RPF was. During my six years in the RPF, I spent five hours a day studying and receiving instruction in Scientological matters. During the fifteen years I spent with the Sea Org, when I was not on RPF, I spent two and a half hours a day studying and receiving instruction in Scientological matters. Applying simple math, I estimate conservatively that I received over 28,000 hours of Scientology study and Scientology instruction. My exposure to Scientology thought reform processes was enhanced by other processes to which all Sea Org members are exposed. These included: (1) indoctrination at daily musters; (2) briefings; (3) missions; (4) Scientology justice actions; (5) crusades; (6) security or sec checking; and (7) auditing. Auditing is the central practice of Scientology. It involves the E Meter which is a simple electrogalvanometer similar to, but not the same as, a lie detector. One holds two tin cans attached to the E meter and goes into a hypnotic state at the command of the auditor. These hypnotic states include those called reverie and revivification. 19. I also studied and received instruction about Scientology Policy, and Sea Org policy called Flag Orders. Information which appeared in green printing on white paper and is called Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letters ("HCO PLs"). I also studied and received instruction about Scientology Technical Policy. This information appeared in red printing on white paper and is called Hubbard Communications Office Bulletins ("HCOBs.") I also spent hundreds of hours listening to lectures taped by Hubbard. These tapes included the Flag Executive Briefing Course tapes, the OEC tapes, the Human Evaluation tapes and the Establishment Officer tapes to name a few. 20. During my 21 years as a Scientologist, I also had many occasions to see how these Scientology policies were applied in many different contexts. The Hubbard Technology, often called Tech, was used to supposedly help people. It was also used coercively to control the behavior of people and to punish them for real or imagined transgressions against Scientology. 21. During my tenure with the Sea Org, I held many posts. The various posts or positions I held during my association with Scientology included: a. Commanding Officer, Master at Arms; b. Missionary Unit, Commanding Officer; C. Executive Director, Portland Crusade; d. D/Executive Director, Los Angeles Crusade; e. L. Ron Hubbard's Butler; f. Executive Establishment Officer; g. RPF Bosun WUS, Childrens RPF Bosun h. LRH Spaces Set Up Mission 2nd; i. LRH Studio Construction Mission In Charge; J. LRH Renovations Mission In Charge; k. Utilities Installation Officer; l. Registrar; M. Sea Org Recruiter; n. Sea Org Ethics Officer; 0. Sea Org Officer; P. Missionary; q. Security Mission In Charge; r. Berthing Security Watch, Hemet (Rover); S. RPF Tech In Charge; t. RPF Case Supervisor; U. RPF Section Leader; V. RPF Member; W. RPF Qualifications In Charge; and X. Estates Project Force Mission In Charge. CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AT HEMET BASE While I was on various posts at Gold, near Hemet California, I was also responsible for the following construction projects. a. Constructing a full scale replica of a clipper ship complete with sauna and jacuzzi. This was in the desert; b. Construction of kitchens and dining facilities in all the office facilities at the Hemet base; c. A 20 Or 48 microphone battery lecture recording room; d. An orchestra size music recording studio; e. A film studio; f. A complete 32 seat theater; g. A complete film editing facility; h. A complete sound editing facility; i. A complete sound to film facility; j. Two voice over studios; k. A complete management office facility for CMOI; l. A complete audio facility which had four individual recording booths and three lecture mixing studios; m. A 60' x 150' file archives facility; n. A 65' x 165' tapes archives facility; o. a 150' x 350' three story manufacturing facility; p. A dining facility that could accommodate 1,100 people for a minimum of three sittings per day; q. A 200' x 500' construction and maintenance facility which houses the planning and buildings areas; r. A complete apartment complex for celebrities; s. A complete office facility for Miscavige; t. A complete lounge facility for Miscavige; u. A complete dressing room for Miscavige; v. A complete sound room for Miscavige; w. A complete exercise room for Miscavige; x.

A tennis court for Celebs and Miscavige ai. Berthing facility for children at the Happy valley base. aj. A large well for Happy Valley facility. 23. In these various Scientology posts, I observed how the inner most parts of Scientology worked. I observed, participated in and was victimized by coercive and manipulative thought control processes designed to shape the thinking of the individuals upon whom these procedures were imposed. These practices are particularly prevalent in the Rehabilitation Project Force ("RPF"), a brainwashing and penal operation very similar to what I had been trained to expect from the Viet Cong, North Vietnamese and Red Chinese during my tour of duty in Vietnam. 24. I knew L. Ron Hubbard ("Hubbard") personally. I worked directly for Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology belief system. Hubbard was Miscavige's predecessor as head of Scientology. 25. I worked personally with Hubbard on the ship called the Apollo, from 1971-73. I personally observed Hubbard running all aspects of Scientology and Sea Org and Guardian Office ("GO") networks. Indeed, at the time I believed Hubbard has saved my life. I had been "overboarded" or thrown aboard. Hubbard then ordered that I be pulled out. Thereafter I believed Hubbard had saved my life and I became very dedicated to both him and Scientology. I served as both steward and butler for Hubbard. Accordingly, I was often alone with him -- even when he was self injecting himself in the arm with a needle and solution. This he did frequently. I would also lay out the pills he took from 10 different numbered bottles. 26. I know Miscavige. I have also worked directly for him for many years. Miscavige is a second generation Scientologist. He was born into Scientology, a high school drop out and became one of Hubbard's Commodores Messengers as a teenager. In this capacity, I have been informed and believe that he was responsible for many multi-million dollar illegal international currency transfers. He did this as an innocent looking young courier. Miscavige has never known of a life outside of Scientology. 'He is as close to a 'Rondroid' (L.R. Hubbard droid) as it is possible to be. He rules Scientology like David Koresh ruled Waco and the Branch Davidians. He endorses Hubbard's goal of Scientology taking over the entire planet including all heads of government and news media. See Exhibit____. Hubbard said "take all of the people, put them in Scientology and have them run under the processes of Scientology." Hubbard's plan is for Scientology to interface with planet earth for one person to be in charge and for the whole planet to be under a Scientology seven Division org board. 27. Miscavige is now the 'ecclesiastical' head of Scientology. He is commander of the Scientology Sea Organization ("Sea Org"). He is also Chairman of The Board ("COB") of the Religious Technology Center ("RTC"). SCIENTOLOGY IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS 28. In 1991 I had to prepare the base so that it could be defended against the possibility of being taken over by the authorities in a time of crisis. There are approx. 750 people at the base. I was in charge of a project designing the base security system, the perimeter fence, the ultra razor barriers, the lighting of the perimeter fence, the electronic monitors, the concealed microphones, the ground sensors, the motion sensors and hidden cameras which were installed and all over the area -- even outside the base. 29. Church monies were used to purchase semi-automatic assault rifles (HK 91 assault rifles capable of firing 300-350 rounds of ammunition a minute, 45 caliber pistols, .380 automatic weapons and twelve gauge shotguns were stockpiled. These weapons were not registered. Church monies were also used to buy the ammunition. 30. Church monies were also used to purchase a large amount of pounds of gunpowder for the construction of various types of explosive devices to be used in the defense of the base. 31. The motorcycle guards were trained to carry loaded cocked 45 caliber pistols. The eagle scout, mounted high above the base, was trained to carry a high powered rifle with a telescopic scope. There is also a 1,000 millimeter telescope up with 'eagle'. 32. I developed three classifications of intruder and established the level of deadly force to use for each. In addition to firearms, the guards were taught how to effectively wield little batons. The basic things like striking to the center of the heart, the center of the solar plex and then to the side of the head, etc. 33. At church expense, I trained the security guards and other base personnel in the use of these weapons and explosives. I also trained them in the close quarter use of fatal force. We built a combat range for training purposes and I instructed Scientologists on various ways of shooting people. I also trained them in night vision and ambush techniques. We used a ravine that was a natural round shield so the noise would not cause any noisy inquiries. DELIBERATE MISUSE OF THE HUBBARD TECH TO HARM SCIENTOLOGISTS WHO HAVE FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR WITH MISCAVIGE: BLACK DIANETICS REVERSE PROCESSING AND STEVEN FISHMAN. 34. During the more than two decades of experience I had in Scientology, I observed on many occasions the Hubbard Tech being used as intended to assist persons to come to grips with themselves and events, persons and things around them. However, I also observed the Hubbard Tech being deliberately misused to punish Scientologists who were out of favor with either Hubbard or Miscavige. When the Hubbard Tech is deliberately misused to cause harm, the practice is called Black Dianetics or Reverse Processing. It is my opinion that Fishman was the victim of Black Dianetics and was only saved, by the intervention of Dr. Geertz, from an imminent suicidal incident. The basis of my opinion in this regard is as follows: (a) Fishman was not a Scientology minister or minister in training yet he was sold E Meters; (b) Fishman was an illegal p.c. (preclear) because of his past psychiatric counselling; (c) Fishman was sold Scientology materials such as the whole track tapes, the Philadelphia tapes, the history of man book, auditing materials and how to use the E Meter book. This was the application of Black Dianetics because: (a) Fishman was not properly trained in the use of the E meter; (b) My experience as an RPF case supervisor in handling cases such as Fishman leads me to the opinion that Fishman was being encouraged to use the tech on himself rather than under the supervision of supervisors and auditors. This would, in MY opinion, only lead to disastrous and/or suicidal consequences. Indeed, L. Ron Hubbard in 'Some Notes on Black Dianetics' states "a person can drive himself mad on Dianetics without any trouble" ... "with Black Dianetics you could tailor make any kind of insanity you want to. The person might not manifest this the next day, maybe not for thirty days. Maybe three months later he is walking down the street and feeling a little bit tired when somebody honks just right or something of the sort, all of a sudden he goes crazy and there he is -- insane! It's a wonderfully smooth way of committing murder." Emphasis added. Exhibit. 35. My observations were direct and personal. I am a highly trained RPF auditor. When I had responsibilities for overseeing how the Scientology auditing technology is applied to cases of Scientologists assigned to the RPF, I received orders directly from Miscavige, Marc Yeager, Ray Mithoff, Sandi Wilhere and Hansuli Stalli, and others, to misuse the Hubbard Tech to create extreme mental and emotional distress and insanity in persons I was instructed to 'security or sec check'. We used the Hubbard Tech, including security checking on the E-Meter, in conjunction with well used coercive mind control techniques of sleep deprivation, starvation, dehydration and denial of decent accommodations. As an example of the appalling conditions to which RPFers are sometimes exposed, on one occasion when I was on RPF, my sleeping facility was a slab inside the vault of the morgue of the old Cedars Sinai Hospital. While on the RPF at Gold, I also occupied the chicken coop dormitory. This was an old chicken coop which still smelled of chicken coop droppings. However, it was not only RPFers who were deprived of adequate food and sleep. At Gold, hundreds of Sea Org members would be deprived of adequate sleep and put on a diet of rice and beans sometimes for six weeks at a time-and their weekly pay of approximately S30.00 would be cut in half. This would be punishment for lower ethics conditions such as poor production. However, when this occurred, David Miscavige would still eat his bacon, eggs, sandwiches and steak dinners. 36. The response of human beings to these conditions is somewhat predictable. I saw many people undergo psychotic breaks. By psychotic breaks I mean being reduced to incoherent babbling, stripping off clothes, crawling around on the ground, banging heads, limbs and other body parts against furniture and walls, barking, losing all sense of one's identity and intense and persistent suicidal ideation. This is what Scientology calls the PTS type III phenomena. There is a policy which describes this. Exh O. I have seen many PTS type III cases. It is my opinion that Fishman has been deliberately driven PTS type III by Black Dianetics and/or reverse processing. 37. I participated in deliberately inflicting this process on others in Scientology. I was a Case Supervisor on the RPF. This means that I saw the auditing folders of all the persons assigned to the RPF while I had this responsibility. I saw that the Tech was regularly misapplied for harmful purposes. The case notes prepared by auditors during auditing sessions were altered or deleted by senior executives. This prevented a subsequent auditor from properly assessing and handling the individual. It is like flying blind without instruments. The potential for doing something seriously harmful is therefore greatly enhanced. 38. I was advised by Richard Aznaran, Sinar Parman and Annie Breeder that Hubbard was an unhandled PTS III when he died. According to Sinar Parman, Hubbard was a psychopathic insane person screaming about BT's and clusters at the top of his lungs. 39. I was also ordered to audit a number of persons, including Stacy Young, while they were on the RPF. The files I was provided relating to Stacy showed that I would be auditing a stable, well adjusted person. When Stacy was led into the auditing room, I was confronted with a disheveled, irrational and incoherent person whom I hardly recognized. Stacy spent the first half hour or so of the session babbling and crying hysterically. Her folder had obviously been altered to maximize the likelihood that further auditing would harm her. 40. What I know from training and experience to be Black Dianetics and reverse processing were also inflicted on me. I survived the processing without experiencing a psychotic break. I believe the extensive survival training I received as a Marine is allowed me to escape the extreme degradation and self-degradation I saw others experience. SCIENTOLOGY RELATED MURDERS AND SUICIDES 41. I also observed a number of individuals go crazy when exposed to the Hubbard Tech even absent malicious intent on the part of the persons applying the Tech. For example, I saw John Colletto go psychotic after he was exposed to the OT III level (Operating thetan level III) materials. He got a pistol. In my presence, he shot his wife in the head. She died instantly. Then John ran a short distance before turning the pistol on himself and committing suicide. Moreover, John Travolta's auditor told me of two occasions on which John Travolta went into deep depression after auditing and therefore suffered a psychotic break. 42. I personally observed a number of other Scientologists go crazy and commit suicide as a result of the auditing processes. Bob Shaffner and I were serving sentences on the RPF's RPF together. Although inmates are not allowed to speak to each other while on the RPF's RPF, Bob made it a point to tell me two or three times daily that he was going to kill himself because of what he experienced during RPF's RPF & OT III auditing. One day we were working on dangerous machinery and Bob suddenly thrust his finger into the machine which cut his finger off. Scientology management was fully aware of Bob's condition. He was placed on the risk of suicide list. Because he was suicidal, his berthing quarters while in the RPF were limited to first floor facilities. Whatever was done, if anything, to help Bob failed. He successfully committed suicide several years later. 43. I saw the Scientology thought reform procedures applied to a large number of Scientologists who were placed on RPF or the RPF's RPF. These procedures brought about long-lasting changes in the attitudes, values, personalities and behaviors of the subjects. Some of the victims I processed were Tom Ashworth, Clarisse Brousseau, Betsy Byrne, Al Crevello, Steve Crevello, Julie Fisher, Janadair Hockaday, Fred Houch, Annie Logan, Jim Logan, Judy More, Toni Prybilsky, Tom Saeker, Johnny Schleshenger, Homer Schomer, Jeff Wrothwiler, Stacy Young and many others. 44. I observed, participated in and was victimized by the use of thought reform on RPF as a means to impose the "Fair Game" law on dissident Scientologists. Despite claims to the contrary Fair Game has never been, and will never be, cancelled. The words Fair Game used in any issue is cancelled. However, the actions of handling suppressives with trickery, lies, deceit and even destruction have not been cancelled and are still being used today. INSTRUCTIONS TO CAUSE SUICIDE 45. I received instructions directly from Ray Mithoff to use the Hubbard Tech of thought reform to drive Tom Ashworth to a psychotic break. The express object of the exercise was to drive Tom crazy and to commit suicide. Tom went PTS Type III and attempted suicide. Later, Tom escaped from RPF and was caught, brought back against his will, isolated with 2 guards and more thought processes were used on him to calm him down rather than have him kill himself. 46. I also saw and heard the Hubbard Tech of thought reform used to drive Gary Epstein to a PTS Type III psychotic break as punishment for his refusal to comply with orders he received from the Wayne Marple mission. 47. I saw these same techniques used on persons who had not violated any Scientology laws or requirements. The techniques were used to compel persons to go up the Scientology Bridge to total freedom. Advancing up the Bridge requires attending courses and auditing or processing. Both the courses and auditing becomes more expensive the further up the Bridge a Scientologist goes. So, these thought reform techniques are callously employed to generate ever increasing sums of income for Scientology. USE OF ARMED GUARDS TO KEEP SCIENTOLOGISTS FROM LEAVING HEMET BASE. 48. At various times while I was stationed at the Gold base near Hemet, I was assigned to different security functions. Persons assigned to the security details were in constant radio contact with other security personnel. We watched persons who were suspected of being disaffected with Scientology and Miscavige closely (i.e. Vaughn Young and Terry Gamboa). We were required to confirm that the suspects were under surveillance to our seniors regularly. We also had an armed look- out, code-named "Eagle," who was located so that he could watch over the entire Hemet base and keep the occupants under surveillance with a powerful telescope. When Miscavige wanted to give the persons working at Hemet the impression that they were not being watched and to test out his theories as to who was likely to blow their post, we would be withdrawn from view and our surveillance responsibilities turned over to "Eagle." 49. We also had well established and intensively drilled procedures to follow if anyone appeared inclined to take unauthorized leave from the Gold base. If disaffected members tried to leave in a vehicle, it was security's job to get into the vehicle with the subject. If they tried to leave on foot, we were trained to follow them while remaining in radio contact with Gold base near Hemet. 50. If it was determined that a disaffected member was trying to leave, we were instructed to call in private investigators who had been retained by Scientology lawyers to deal with these problems. Once the private investigators were briefed, they took command of the situation. The private investigators would give us instructions. Once the private investigators were involved, our role was limited to acting as the private investigators' eyes and ears. We would be sent to places where the disaffected members were likely to go. We would alert the private investigators if we located the disaffected members. Once we located the disaffected members, the private investigators took care of the rest. 51. I was personally involved in efforts to retrieve Sinar Parman, Jeff Walker and Julie Fisher. The efforts to retrieve Sinar Parman and Julie Fisher were successful. We were unsuccessful in our efforts to return Jeff Walker to the Gold base. As soon as he was off the base he contacted the California Highway Patrol. He informed the Highway Patrol that he did not want to return to Hemet base. To get this point across to the Scientologists at Hemet base, Jeff returned to the Hemet base with a Highway Patrol escort he picked up his belongings and announced unequivocally that he wanted to leave and that he would take all appropriate action to preserve his freedom. He left the Hemet base under escort from the Highway Patrol. 52. Over the years I was at Gold base, a significant number of people at the base announced, or by their conduct indicated, to me that they wanted to leave. Julie Fisher stated repeatedly that she wanted to leave. She said that she did not want to remain at Gold base. My instructions were to keep her on the base. Mark Fisher, who was severely beaten by Miscavige, repeatedly told Miscavige and others that he did not want to be at the Hemet base. As Miscavige and others beat Mark in my presence, Mark kept saying that his attackers could beat him all they wanted but he still wanted to leave. Finally, Miscavige expressed his contempt and disgust at Mark and left the guard house where Mark was being held. 53. I also saw armed guards at the "berthing" (staff) quarters at Gilman Hot Springs. The armed guards were stationed to prevent staffers from leaving or "blowing" their posts during the night. 54. The function of the guards is not only to keep Scientologists in but to keep "wogs" out. Wogs are non-Scientologists. In 1991 a process server tried to get onto the base. He was beaten up and arrested by security guards who put him in handcuffs. The Police arrived and took the handcuffs off him saying "you guys can't do this, Man, you guys are getting carried away. The process server later sued and the case was settled. The security guard, Danny Dunnigan, was so confused about what his senior told him to testify to that he perjured himself about four times in the Courtroom. 55. I also have personal knowledge about the guarding of other people being involuntarily detained by Gold Security, a division of CSI, at the heavily fortified and armed Gilman Hot Springs base (Gold) and at Happy Valley which is another Scientology base 11 miles away. THE INTERSTATE KIDNAPPING, IMPRISONMENT AND SECURITY CHECKING OF ANNIE BROEKER 56. In addition, I have personal knowledge in connection with the retrieval and return of persons who have tried to flee and leave the Scientology organization. This includes the involuntary detention of Annie Broeker. I learned that Annie blew her post when Gold Security approached me to ask if I had seen her. The security personnel asked me if I had seen Annie. They informed me that she was not at her work assignment and not at her berthing. Several days later, I asked what had happened with Annie. Russ Andress told me not to ask about Annie. Later, I saw Annie at Happy Valley. Persons who are believed to present an embarrassment to Scientology are detained at Happy Valley. The inference that Annie was being detained was underscored by the fact that she was not on post and was not wearing her uniform. Furthermore, when I saw here she was accompanied by the Director of Inspection and Reports and the Master at Arms, who, at that time, was my son, Casavius Tabayoyon. From my personal experience, persons being kept under circumstances similar to those described above are being watched and will be detained, if they try to leave. At a briefing, Miscavige said that Marty Rathbun and another person from his staff had to hire a plane to retrieve a staff member who had fled (Annie Broeker). This briefing was in relation to how bad we (Golden Era Crew) were doing our jobs. It is significant, in my opinion that the recently filed declaration of Marty Rathbun indicated that he has been out of the U.S. jurisdiction since late last year. SCIENTOLOGY SECURITY GUARDS ACT LIKE THE MILITARY POLICE 57. As added measure to the situation of the crew being in Doubt, a security watch system was ordered into existence at the berthing locations of the Hemet base. When the crew were about to go home at night, the guards were to be at their positions at the berthing areas. Berthing is where the staff or crew sleep at Hemet and other Scientology premises. Berthing is similar to bunking on a ship. I was put in charge of six of the security guards. The shore story was that these guards were a neighborhood watch to protect the staff when they went home, but in fact the guards were there to prevent staff members from going to Vons or a late-night restaurant. They were to insure that staff members got off the bus and went directly to their berthing and. went to bed. Shore stories were also introduced on the Apollo. A shore story was a false story told to local port authorities so they would not discover that we were Scientologists and order us to leave the port. 58. Another duty of the "berthing" guards was to prevent staff from "blowing", which is the Scientology term for someone who leaves Scientology to become a member of the real world again. If staff members did blow, we were to get in the vehicle with them and detain them, and if we were stopped by the police, the "shore story" was to be that the person was having mental difficulties and we were going to assist them to get back home. We were to make it look like we were trying to help them, not hinder them. Another duty was to call the base when everyone was secured and a full head count was done. As a watch in-charge of the night berthing watch security guards, I was responsible for roving the town of Hemet to look for staff who were not in their berthing rooms when they were supposed to be. The berthing guards are CSI employees. Miscavige personally issued the berthing guard orders. MISCAVIGE IS THE MANAGING AGENT OF CSI: INDEED HE IS A MANAGING AGENT OF ALL SCIENTOLOGY ORGANIZATIONS. 59. I have personal knowledge that Miscavige issues oral and written orders and instructions to Scientologists irrespective of either ecclesiastical lines of authority or corporate lines of is authority or demarcation. Miscavige uses this omnipotent authority to exercise personal control over any and all Scientology organizations whenever he elects to do so. I observed that in running the various Scientology organizations, Miscavige constantly crosses all corporate and ecclesiastical command lines without regard to the fact that there are numerous Scientology related corporations of which he is neither an employee, officer nor director. He does not have to be to control any Scientology organization. He is above all Scientology organizations as the ecclesiastical head of Scientology, COB RTC and Commander of the Sea Org. In this capacity, Miscavige acts as the managing agent of each Scientology organization. 60. During my tenure at the Hemet base, Miscavige was always the senior officer - over all Scientology organizations having business at the base. While Hubbard was alive, Miscavige's orders had the same effect as Hubbard's. Only Flag Orders issued by Hubbard could supersede Miscavige's orders. Once Hubbard died, there was no authority senior to Miscavige's. 61. I personally observed Miscavige take over this position of ultimate power over all of Scientology after Hubbard died. I observed Miscavige when he was COB RTC ordering into Golden Era Studios ("Gold") , a CSI division, and ordering into the Commodore's Messenger Organization International ("CMO Int"), another CSI division planetary dissemination organization, etc. Both of these Sea Org units are corporately part of CSI. RTC, CMO Int and Gold are all located at a large compound outside of Hemet, California. It is called Gold. As I learned, the Scientology corporate structure was only for the benefit of the outside "wog" world. It didn't have any bearing on how Scientology operated. 62. When Hubbard was alive it was common knowledge and I also observed it personally that he was in direct control, via Miscavige and Pat Broeker, of CM0 Int and Gold, and the rest of Scientology. After Hubbard died Miscavige ousted Pat Broeker and Vicki Aznaran, who were then in control of Scientology. After that, it was my experience that Miscavige had complete control over Scientology just as Hubbard had when he was alive. Miscavige took over Hubbard's place as managing agent of all Scientology organizations. 63. The following are several examples of the power Miscavige has over Scientology regardless of corporate boundaries: (a) I was on a project in 1983-84 when Hubbard was still alive and he was planning to move to Gold properties at Hemet, so we were renovating Hubbard's living and working quarters at the Hemet compound so that he could live and work there. I often spoke with Miscavige about progress on these projects and received numerous orders on this project directly from him. At that time Miscavige's corporate title was Chairman of the Board of Author Services, Inc. ("COB ASI"). I was a staff member of the Flag Operations Liaison Office Western United States ("FOLO WUS"), a division of CSI. I was ordered to the Hemet compound by Deputy Senior Messenger Janadair Swanson, who was employed by CMO Int to work on CMO Int's project for renovating Hubbard's house. Miscavige ordered me to be in charge of the ceiling of the dining room in the house. Many living and working quarters were being renovated and Miscavige was overall in charge as Special Projects Operations ("Special Project OPS"), which was what he was called inside Scientology organizations. He would approve or reject the final product. (b) Later in 1985 I undertook a project as a Golden Era Productions employee (Golden Era is part of CSI) to construct Hubbard's studio. I received many orders directly from Miscavige who now claims never to have any authority with regard to CSI. One order that is clear in my mind concerns the main shell of the music studio. We had just completed the main shell, but when Miscavige inspected it he decided it would be too small. He ordered that it be re-engineered so it would be bigger. This order was given to me verbally and in writing from Miscavige via the Deputy Senior Messenger of the Household Unit. This re-engineering cost CSI an additional $449,000.00 which came from cash reserves of CSI located in the main Los Angeles branch of the Sumitomo Bank. (c) When a Portland, Oregon, jury awarded Julie Christofferson $39 million in damages against the Church of Scientology of California, Miscavige ordered that every available Scientologist be sent to Portland to protest the Court's decision outside the courthouse. This became known as the Portland Crusade for Religious Freedom and and it involved tens of thousands of Scientologists. On one day I counted 12,000 people. On another day there were 11,000 people outside the courthouse. I was the Executive Director of the Portland Crusade. I received direct orders from Miscavige on what actions to take for the Crusade even though I was employed by CSI, a non-profit corporation, and he was COB ASI, a for-profit corporation. Miscavige was personally involved with the finances for the crusade submissions to Miscavige were known as "writing it up to Department 21". There were many other people who also received direct orders from Miscavige, completely regardless of to what Church of Scientology corporation they belonged. This was battle. This was war. Eventually the desired effect was achieved. Christofferson was bought off and gagged and the documents sealed. (d) Later, the judge declared a mistrial in the Christofferson case. The Portland Crusade was over. Then I discovered that the crusade had accumulated over $500,000 of debt. Miscavige ordered a full inspection of the financial records. Once he had confirmed that the records were in order, he ordered the $500,000.00 debt paid off out of various Scientology organization accounts. (e) Once the Portland Crusade was over, I went back to building Hubbard's studio. We completed the studio. At a special ceremony, we received acceptance of our work by Miscavige and Hubbard. This established that the project was completed. (f) During the time of the construction of the Golden Era studio, I read several written orders from Hubbard about the ongoing renovations of his home and studio, as well as other aspects of the daily operations of Gold, CMO Int and RTC. Miscavige was directly responsible for the implementation of these orders. (g) Miscavige also crosses corporate lines to berate and scream intimidating obscenities and profanities at persons not of RTC. Once I did not achieve my target and Miscavige came at me, stood twelve inches from my face, and called me a "mother fucker" and a "son of a bitch" for about 10 minutes. I've also been at Sea Org musters where Wendell Reynolds shouted "You're all a bunch of treasonous sons of bitches!" 64. I did many construction projects at the Hemet (Gilman Hot Springs or Gold) compound for Gold, CMO Int and RTC, and in every one of these projects, I received at least one order directly from Miscavige on each particular project. On some projects, I received daily visits from Miscavige. During each visit, he issued several orders. STEVEN FISHMAN 65. I recall meeting Steven Fishman during the L.A. Crusade in 19-. Miscavige also ordered this operation. The LA Crusade was also known as the Battle of L.A. The purpose was to assemble so many may Scientologists outside the LA Superior Court during the Wollersheim trial that the judge and jury would be intimidated. There were also operations carried out to try and intimidate Judge Swearinger an
