Review Detail

From 1995 through to 1999 I worked in RTC, and for many years was responsible for investigation to find corruption and subversion as per the Inspector General Network functions. I was ordered by Miscavige to investigate Marc Yager (then CO CMO Int), Ray Mithoff (Snr C/S Int) and Guillaume Leserve (ED International) for more than 5 months in 1995 to find their crimes. Despite the most thorough investigation of each individual, their activities, finances, products, berthing, etc. I found nothing. Regardless of this, I watched a relentless campaign by Miscavige to destroy these executives and control them.

They were all declared suppressives and removed at various points - and CMO International staff were subject to lengthy "conference meetings" that would go for days, with Miscavige issuing bizarre and un-doable orders and forcing all staff off post to handle specific orders. Examples include: Int Base Admin Scale (all executives forced off post, with no sleep and abused (physically and mentally); the model 339R program (all executives kept off post to rewrite a 339R program on how to floss your teeth - for weeks); the New Era of Management Issues (literally months of harassment, with every issue rewritten over and over and finally DM writing them himself).

By 2000, before the CMO Int staff were locked in the Hole, they were already gaunt, haunted, hounded and introverted. The internal staff were perpetually trying to solve executive postings, as DM kept musical chairing people off post and would not approve new postings or replacements. Ridicule, physical violence and degradation was the norm. I was ordered to a post in CMO Int in 2000 and refused, based solely on what I had witnessed over the previous 6 years. This later was a contributing factor to my offload from the Int base - I was not controllable enough.

In 2002 the CMO Int staff were not permitted to go home at night, nor permitted to go to meals in the dining room (order of Miscavige) and the Galley staff would send up food on trolleys. From there it was a simple act to put the bars on the windows, the locks on the doors, and the Hole was born.

I still fear for those there.
