If the event seemed important enough to include, yet no exact day--or, in some cases, no month--was given, the indication "c." (for circa) has been put AFTER the information (day or month) in question. As an example, an event known to have occurred in June of 1974, but without certainty as to the actual day, might be listed as "Saturday, 1 c. June 1974." If only a month and year are known (as in the example just given), and there is no indication of, e.g., "late June," then the event has usually been assigned arbitrarily to the 1st or the 15th of the indicated month, unless surrounding events indicate a different, more likely day of the month. The weekday names (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) have been included as additional data. If the only indication of the time of the event was "mid-1974," then the entry might read "Saturday, 1 c. June c. 1974, indicating that the month, too, is estimated from the language of the referenced source. Only rarely have incidents been included where the only information available is a givien year. When it seemed important enough to include in the Time Line, it was put, usually, at 1 c. January c. of the given year, or at 1 c. July c. of the given year, whichever seemed most likely--mainly as a "bookmark" for the event, pending more exact dating. Every effort has been made to isolate, as closely as possible, the exact date for each event. If anyone has any more accurate information about any event described herein, please post it to the newsgroup, "alt.religion.scientology." ====================== 1981-1982 ====================== Sunday, 01 c. February c. 1981 Quoted from Gerald Armstrong legal document: "It was [Mary Sue Hubbard] who, in early 1981, ordered certain biographical materials from Controller Archives to be delivered to Defendant Armstrong. These materials consisted of several letters written by Hubbard in the 1920's and 1930's, Hubbard's Boy Scout books and materials, several old Hubbard family photographs, a diary kept by Hubbard in his youth, and several other items." SOURCE: Gerald Armstrong's "Appendix" for an unknown court case Sunday, 01 c. February c. 1981 Quoted from Gerald Armstrong legal document: "For the first year...of the Hubbard biography and archive project, funding came from Hubbard's personal staff unit at Gilman Hot Springs.... In early 1981... Defendant Armstrong's supervisor, Laurel Sullivan, ordered him to request that funding come from...Sea Org Reserves. Approval for this change in funding came from the Sea Org Reserves Chief and Watch Dog Committee, the top Commodores Messenger Organization unit...." OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS: Laurel Sullivan is STILL Armstrong's "supervisor." Well, Sullivan is supposedly in charge of MCCS. Armstrong's involvement in MCCS supposedly ended back in JUNE of 1980. So how the hell did he ever get hold of the Zolin tapes (if he did--sigh) when that meeting didn't take place until October 1980, and why is he still working under Sullivan?

March 1981 Quoted from David Miscavige: "In March 1981 she (Mary Sue Hubbard) cut all of our communication lines to the GO, except through herself. Mary Sue Hubbard believed her position as Controller and as the 'Founder's wife' to be unassailable and beyond reproach by anyone but Mr. Hubbard--who was not around at the time, a fact that she was well aware of."

"Rev. Jack Brighton, public affairs director of the church's Boston branch, made his comments Monday, the day after author Paulette Cooper filed a $15 million suit against the Church of Scientology of Boston and the church's founders, L. Ronn [sic] and Mary Sue Hubbard. "Ms. Cooper, who wrote the book entitiled 'The Scandal of Scientology' claims the church conducted an anonymous smear campaign against her. "The suit, filed in U.S. District Court, claims a special unit of the church -- the B-1 Bureau -- was set up by the Hubbards to conduct 'covert and illegal operations against any organization or individual critical of the Hubbards or Scientology.' ..."

We only learned of these crimes when we read copies of GO documents attached as exhibits to court papers filed by litigation adversaries."

Ron Hubbard in all aspects of estate planning from the time he engaged me as his attorney in approximately April 1981..." OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS: A message on usenet from a former CMO member said Lenske was hired by a CMO legal mission, fired and run by Miscavige. SOURCE: Quoted excerpt of Mr. Lenske's Declaration dated November 12, 1995 Monday, 15 c. June 1981 Mission Corporate Category Sort-Out [MCCS] is "abandoned."

SOURCE: Court ruling, CST v. US--29 June 1992 Saturday, 27 June 1981 David Miscavige reportedly "takes over CMO Int" by giving CO CMO INT Diane Voegeding a dispatch removing her. The dispatch is ostensibly from LRH. SOURCE: Bare Faced Messiah (?) Wednesday, 01 July 1981 David Miscavige allegedly calls on Mary Sue Hubbard with a letter "prepared by lawyers" which argues that MSH's presence as the Guardians' controller implicates LRH in all church matters including the GO cases. She steps down and "is later removed from office," (sic) as is Jane Kember. [NOTE: Re the "letter prepared by lawyers" comment, this is shortly after Lenske appears on the scene--by his reckoning, in April 1981.] SOURCE: Religions Inc. Wednesday, 01 c. July 1981 Quoting from legal document of Michael Flynn: "[David] Miscavige and [Norman] Starkey, as agents of Hubbard, convened a meeting of lawyers in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of initiating Bar complaints, lawsuits, depositions, motions for disqualification, and contempt motions in order to harass plaintiff (Michael Flynn) by use of the judicial system. The meeting took place in July, 1981 and it was attended by attorneys Harvey Silverglate, Jay Roth, Steven Burris, Donald Randolph, Sherman Lenske, Dan Warren and others." OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS: Miscavige and Starkey could not have been at this lawyer group-grope in Atlanta, while simultaneously removing Mary Sue Hubbard. Of course, the date of this entry is estimated, so perhaps it could have happened later in July, if it happened at all. SOURCE: Complaint of Michael J. Flynn filed on unknown date as case # 83-2642-C in the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS Wednesday, 01 c. July 1981 Quoting from David Miscavige: "Mary Sue Hubbard was removed from her post before she went to jail. I know, because I personally met with her and obtained her resignation.... At first, Mary Sue Hubbard was not willing to resign. Eventually she did so."

Shortly before the purge of the Guardian's Office, I discussed with Laurel Sullivan various illicit GO activities we had already uncovered. Sullivan was aware of these activities. Sullivan did not agree that the acts the GO had committed were atrocious and that Mary Sue Hubbard and the rest of her criminal group needed to be removed. She insisted that Mary Sue Hubbard remain in power and that at all costs she and the Guardian's Office should maintain total control of the organization regardless of the criminal acts exposed by the government and others, in which Sullivan felt the GO was completely justified in committing. "35. Upon learning of Laurel Sullivan's alliance with the GO and the plans to reorganize the Church under Mary Sue Hubbard and her GO allies, I removed Sullivan from her position and disbanded the MCCS project altogether. In fact, recently released documents reveal that Laurel Sullivan--who would later become an adverse witness against the church and me--long ago admitted to law enforcement officials that the corporate restructuring of the Church actually implemented, differed entirely from that envisioned in her MCCS project."

July 1981 Quoting from David Miscavige: "Within a day of Mary Sue Hubbard's resignation, senior GO officials secretly met with Mary Sue Hubbard and conspired to regain control of the GO. Mary Sue Hubbard signed a letter revoking her resignation and condemning the actions of the CMO. Scores of GO staff responded, locking the missionaires out of their premises and were intending to hire armed guards to bar access by me and the other Church officials who had ousted them. I then confronted the mutineers, and persuaded Mary Sue Hubbard to again resign, which ended the last vestige of GO resistance."

It was, in fact, a major, dramatic, and permanent overhaul, with over 800 GO staff dismissed as unqualified or because of their disagreements with Church policies or because of their complicity in criminal conduct.

"...The statement Sunday from Bill Franks, executive director international, said the Guardian Office 'went adrift' and in the criminal prosecution, 'Here we had people representing the Church who had gotten themselves in a fight with the government when our very first policy is to maintain friendly relations with the environment. The mistakes made were simply that this policy was not followed and the results were predictably negative for the Church.'

SOURCE: Gerald Armstrong's "Appendix" for an unknown court case Friday, 27 c. November 1981 Quoted from Gerald Armstrong: "I wrote a number of dispatches in an attempt to get the lies removed from the various biographical sketches in books and promotional literature; and the last dispatch was to the Master at Arms having to do with Starkey's response to a previous report of mine. "Starkey dropped into Archives, where I was working, one day. He was there to ask questions. I had just gotten back at that time from seeing Nibs [Ron Jr.] with Omar. I said to Starkey that, in my opinion, a lot of the problems with Nibs had been created by the organization. I said that Nibs was not 100 percent wrong in this whole thing. 'He looks like he could be a decent guy,' I said. "And then somehow we got up to Hubbard's lying, and I said, 'Listen, we can't continue to claim that the guy's a nuclear physicist.' And Starkey said, 'Well he never said it! Just a bunch of stupid PRs said it.' So I walked over to the shelf [filled with] the books we'd bought from Virgil which contained the original Scientology 8-80, done in 1952, which was a manuscript edition, and there it was... . I showed to Starkey where Hubbard claims, in his own handwriting, to have been a nuclear physicist. Starkey just stomped out of there. "Then a few days later I was called out to Gilman Hot Springs to talk with the Master at Arms about a report from Starkey. It was a secret report saying that he was concerned as to what documents I might have given Garrison, and he was saying things like, 'Armstrong is stating that we are responsible for Nib's problems.' This was a fairly accurate rendition of the way I had spoken about it, but it was apparent that it was completely unacceptable that I do such a thing. It would just be a matter of time till I was 'busted.' "So I was desperately trying to get Garrison everything that I could. I now knew that the whole thing was crazy, but also that I couldn't quit the job until I was through getting Garrison what he needed. "The pressure of the situation was getting to me. I was one screwed up kid in those days. "So I worked as long as I could and copied virtually everything I could for Garrison. I knew I had to do that, because I knew that I would soon be sec checked on what I'd been giving Garrison, and so I had to get it to him before that."

Defendant Armstrong was ordered to undergo a 'security check'...." SOURCE: Gerald Armstrong's "Appendix" for an unknown court case Tuesday, 01 c. December 1981 Quoting from David Miscavige: "Mr. Hubbard took no part in the disbanding of the GO or removal of Mary Sue Hubbard. In fact, the first he heard of it was five months after the initial purge, in July of 1981. While he had been out of communication and uninvolved in Church activities for the previous two years, he had engaged in further researches on Dianetics and Scientology."

December 1981 Gerald Armstrong claims that this is about the time that he last sees L. Ron Hubbard. OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS: The referenced UPI story [14 November 1982] says that Gerald Armstrong claimed that he "last saw Hubbard toward the end of last year." This entry is placed here to reflect that. Date is estimated based on the language of the UPI story. But LRH is supposed to have disappeared in February, 1980, and NO ONE--except the Broekers--is supposed to have ever seen him alive again. How did Gerald Armstrong see him "toward the end" of 1981? Somebody is LYING! SOURCE: UPI story of 14 November 1982, on file Tuesday, 01 c.

December 1981 Quoted from Gerald Armstrong: "Joycelyn [Gerald Armstrong's wife] was still working for me at that time and we were copying madly to get all we could to Garrison. "Every day I was going to Costa Mesa in Orange County, where Omar Garrison lived, and I would take down a box of materials that I had copied. Then I'd take down a box of shirts or books or whatever, until we got down to the point where we had, box by box, totally moved the whole place out. "The last thing we had was Joycelyn's bicycle, and we made like we were going off for a ride. We were gone. I had Garrison's truck, parked right on the corner. I went and threw the bike in it. We went to Garrison's place in Costa Mesa. The following morning we left and went to their place in Utah and stayed there for a week. "It was the great escape right under their noses."

SOURCE: Document posted to the internet; source unknown Friday, 01 January 1982 Quoted from David Miscavige: "Part of the measures taken to ensure a similar situation could never recur was the formation of the Religious Technology Center on 1 January 1982, [sic] L. Ron Hubbard bestowed the trademarks of Scientology to RTC, whose purpose is to safeguard the proper use of the marks and ensure they remain in good hands and are properly used." OUTPOINTS: DROPPED OUT TIME, ALTERED SEQUENCE, ADDED INAPPLICABLE CONFUSION: His sentence is not a sentence and makes it unclear whether he is saying that RTC was formed on 1 January 1982, or the trademarks were bestowed on that date, or both. This confused sentence is probably worded incomprehensibly on purpose, because the instrument "bestowing" the trademarks has both a 16 May 1982 date (when RTC signed), AND a 19 January 1982 date, and yet another document purportedly has RTC licensing the Advanced Technology to others on 1 January 1982.

"The documents seized ranged from a Freedom of Information Act request form, to correspondence between the church's lawyer in England and Scotland Yard. "The appeals court in Washington sent the case back to a trial court to see which documents should be returned to the church on the grounds they were illegally seized. "The government said it voluntarily returned 40 percent of the documents seized in the Los Angeles search, and offered to return nearly 80 percent of the documents seized from the Washington office of the church.

Ed Walters, a 44-year-old "former high-ranking church member who works at a Nevada casino," is the first witness, and tells the commission he helped burglarize buildings in Las Vegas, to help gain personal information about church members that the church used to insure members would never leave, and said church members frequently planted illegal drugs on their enemies and then turned them in to police. City officials say the hearings are a prelude to passage of ordinances to control charitable solicitations and for consumer protection. (A charitable solicitations ordinance could force the Scientologists to provide financial records they have so far refused to reveal.) The hearings are being conducted by Boston attorney Michael Flynn, who has 27 suits pending against the church around the country. Church officials have sought unsuccessfully, the week before, to obtain a federal court injunction to prevent the hearings, and church attorney Paul Johnson of Tampa storms from the hearing when Mayor Charles LeCher and the commissioners refuse to let him make an opening statement.

It is then that Marlowe writes in "the May 16 entry on the first page." [NOTE: In no case is any of the COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP of these rights transferred.

November 1982 Gerald Armstrong is interviewed for a story in the Riverside Press-Enterprise newspaper, in which he says that LRH may be dead. He says that LRH suffered "numerous medical problems, twice requiring hospitalization in the 1970s." Apparently, Kima Douglas, described as being "of Palm Desert," and described as "Hubbard's former personal medical officer," is also interviewed for the same article, but "declined comment other than to say the church founder had blood clots in the lung."

In the UPI story, Gerald Armstrong says that he last saw Hubbard "toward the end of last year," and that "His (LRH's) weight was way down. He was very shaky. He always shook a lot. His hands were never steady. I felt he looked very weak and drawn. There is every chance that the man is in fact dead."

Ron Huubard, Jr., aka Ronald DeWolf, aka Nibs, files a petition in Superior Court in Riverside County, California--with 30,000 accompanying documents[!]--saying that he believes that his father is dead or mentally incompetent, and asking the court to appoint him trustee--and or give him conservatorship power--of his father's affairs to protect the assets. DeWolf alleges "that officials of the church have stolen millions of dollars, gems and securities from his 71-year-old father or from his estate in the past year." He also claims in the court action that Scientology worldwide is "being run by David Miscevage [sic--Miscavige], described in the petition as a '22-year-old with a ninth-grade education.'" DeWolf further chargea Miscavige and James Isaacson "forged Hubbard's signature to loot the accounts." DeWolf says, "The only way he (Hubbard) can contest all of this is to show up physically in court. But I expect he may have trouble doing that because I don't think he is alive." Other claims made by DeWolf, either in the petition, and/or in a story about it that appeared in the Riverside Press-Enterprise newspaper include: "While living in La Quinta in Riverside County, Hubbard made secret plans for his death...and instructed [Kima] Douglas to "'bury him in the date fields' in the area and not to disclose his death. 'Shortly thereafter,' DeWolf said in his petition, 'my father disappeared.' Hubbard's son filed his petition in Riverside County because his father's last known whereabouts was Gilman Hot Springs, a former resort near Hemet that is now owned by the Scientologists. Since October 1981, DeWolf contends, millions of dollars have been removed from Hubbard's bank accounts with forged signatures. He said the New England Merchants Bank froze Hubbard's account after determining that a $2 million check written against it in June had a forged signature. His petition claims attempts also have been made to sell about $1 million worth of Hubbard's gems in Los Angeles and that Scientology officials 'surreptitiously acquired all of the copyrights' to Hubbard's books and articles spanning 30 years. In his petition, DeWolf portrays his father as a heavy drug user who wrote his most important books and articles while 'saturated' with cocaine and other drugs. Moreover, he suffered from venereal disease most of his adult life, said De Wolf, claiming his father was mentally ill for decades. According to DeWolf, Hubbard's beliefs came from black magic and satanic theories associated with the Order of Templars Orientalis and its founder, Englishman Aleister Crowley. Hubbard became involved with John W. Parsons, a close associate of Crowley's, and Sarah [sic] Northrup, at the end of World War II, he alleges. The trio attempted to create a 'moonchild' during 11 days of rituals when 'an unborn human embryo was "implanted" with "satanic power,"' the court document contends." Of the petition, it is said, "He [DeWolf] made the request after a longtime Hubbard aide [Armstrong?] submitted a 21-page court affidavit in another case swearing that Hubbard had repeatedly fled Southern California residences in fear of federal agents, that he was obsessed with cleanliness, ordering that living quarters be dust-free and his bedroom tiled. More claims in the stories covering this: "A science fiction novel by Hubbard...was published in October, but DeWolf claimed the 800-page saga, 'Battlefield Earth,' and other publications released under his father's name in recent years actually were crafted by church officials." OUTPOINTS: CONTRARY FACTS, ADDED CONFUSION: The "30,000 accompanying documents." Is this actually part of the Armstrong case? This is additionally confused by a report [see entry for 10 February 1983] that the ownership of these documents are the subject of a case in Los Angeles Superior Court. But DeWolf's case is filed in Riverside County. This needs some sort-out. But it seems that there is definitely a connection between DeWolf's case, and Armstrong's.

We have evidence we will bring into court Dec. 30 to show that he died here in the United States, probably in Hemet. ...He was in incredibly poor health for many, many years. He always put out the line that he was in extremely good health when in fact he was in incredibly poor health." DeWolf is also reported to have said that his father, who would be 71, suffered from pulmonary embolisms, an ulcer, arthritis and venereal disease, and that LRH asked to be buried secretly so church members would continue to think he was alive and in perfect health. "One of the last thing he said to medical attendants was, 'Bury me in the date fields and don't tell anyone," UPI quotes DeWolf as saying.

"Flynn's strategy, according to the lawsuit and accompanying documentation filed in Los Angeles U.S. District Court, included plans to precipitate federal and state attacks upon the church. "In a parallel announcement, church attorney John Peterson dismissed a suit filed last week in Riverside, Calif., by Ronald DeWolf as 'just one more maneuver by Mr. Flynn and his associates to help along other cases they have pending.' "Peterson cited a sworn deposition by Flynn dated Aug. 28, 1982, in which the attorney admitted that he represented DeWolf, eldest son of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and that he was 'preparing various petitions to several courts" for DeWolf in order "to collect his (Hubbard's) assets.' "In the Los Angeles abuse of process action against Flynn, the Church of Scientology revealed a June 2, 1981, letter from Flynn to church attorney Jay Roth in which Flynn offered to settle his actions against the church for $1.6 million. The proposal was rejected. "The abuse of process suit by the church charged that while ostensibly pursuing a class action suit against the church, Flynn and his associates, Thomas Hoffman and Thomas Greene, were actually plotting to force the church to settle the class action by making it 'cost ineffective' for the church to defend itself. "The legal process would be made more costly for the Scientologists, according to Flynn's own documents, if 'adverse media' could be generated against the church by 'feeding media in all pertinent cities.' "Peterson stated that the church possessed some 20,000 pages of documents which substantiated its charges against Flynn and his associates./NOTE -- The full background documentation for this story is available on request.

DeWolf, from being named trustee of LRH's estate. Her attorney, Barrett S. Litt, gives several quotes to the Associated Press: "Her husband, as far as she is aware, is perfectly capable of handling his own affairs and is doing so. She is opposed to an invasion of (Hubbard's) privacy. [She] hears from (Hubbard) on a regular basis and is comfortably supported by her husband on a monthly basis." Litt admits that Mrs. Hubbard--the church founder's third wife--has not seen her reclusive husband since 1979, but he says she "feels there is no need for DeWolf's petition." The story goes on: "It is uncertain whether Mrs. Hubbard will attend the hearing because she faces sentencing Dec. 9 in Washington, D.C., on her conviction in a Church of Scientology scheme to steal federal government documents. ...At the time of her conviction, Mrs. Hubbard was controller of the church. She has since resigned. Litt said Mrs. Hubbard was not seeking to substitute herself for DeWolf as Hubbard's trustee. "But he added, 'If a trustee were to be appointed, she would be the presumptive person to be trustee since state statutes give preference to a spouse.'" In the UPI version, Litt says that Mary Sue "has not seen her 71-year-old husband since 1979 but has no reason to believe he is dead." UPI also says: "Mrs. Hubbard filed a notice to appear at the Dec. 30 hearing for DeWolf to present evidence supporting his petition, but it was uncertain whether she could attend because she is scheduled to be sentenced in Washington on Dec. 9." And: "Litt said Mrs. Hubbard, 51, who lives in Los Angeles, opposes DeWolf's petition on grounds there is no evidence to support the claim that Hubbard cannot handle his own affairs and no reason to invade her husband's privacy. 'Her position is there is no need for anyone to be named trustee,' Litt said. 'As far as she is aware and concerned, her husband has made arrangement for his property. She receives support from him and communications by mail. There is no reason to believe there is any problem.' The attorney said he did not know why the Hubbards have not seen each other since 1979, but said it was not unusual for them to be apart for long periods of time."

SOURCE: UPI story of 17 December 1982, on file Thursday, 30 December 1982 A hearing is held regarding the Ronald DeWolf petition to be made trustee of his father's asset's. Attorneys for Mary Sue Hubbard urge Superior Court Judge J. David Hennigan to dismiss Wolf's petition. Los Angeles attorney Barrett Litt contends that the court action is an invasion of Hubbard's privacy. Judge Hennigan challenges Litt to have LRH appear in court: "If he (Hubbard) is concerned about his privacy," the judge says, "all he has to do is walk in here and say, 'Here I am' and 'I'm alive.'" Litt says that LRH, long a recluse, will not appear. Hennigan then schedules a trial to begin 18 April 1983. Judge Hennigan has said that it is unlikely he will appoint DeWolf as trustee of his father's assets because the two have been estranged since 1959, when DeWolf left the church and changed his name from L. Ron Hubbard Jr. The judge asks if Mrs. Hubbard would be willing to be trustee if the Scientology founder is ruled dead or incompetent. "She, or a nominee, would act as a trustee," attorney Litt says. An attorney for DeWolf, Wilkie Cheong of Los Angeles, says he would object to Mary Sue Hubbard or her nominee acting as a trustee. "We would like the court to suggest a corporate trustee," he says, "such as a trust department at a large bank."
