Its good to know that all that high-powered LRH technology
and Herbie's financial genius got put to such good use.

Trina was a very nice and reasonable person, the total opposite
to Herbie. Trina's first husband was Tony(?) Green, a lawyer working
in the Legal Bureau at GOWW in the later half of the 70's. Anyone know
if she's still in?
> Herbie not only knew Hubbard's finance policies better than anyone
>else, he even authored numerous BPLs on finance himself. I still have
>copies of all of them - things like "Financial Management Standardization
>Series" and the "Accounts Audits Series" issues. As DGF WW, Herbie was a

>as were Jane Kember and Mary Sue Hubbard.
That kind of rips the scieno's "We didn't know what they were doing,
they were a bunch of renegades" scenario to shreds. LRH would never have
turned his money over to a group of people who weren't among his most
trusted, and he had his wife in direct control of it all.
> Around 1979, the CMO did a mission to PAC. I believe it was CMO Int
>Mission 88. The purpose of the mission was to put into practice a new
>finance system in the PAC area orgs. The new system was called the
>"Staff Pay System". It was also referred to as the "CGI/VSD System".
>This new finance system *drastically* changed the existing finance
>system which had been in use. It greatly increased the amount of money
>to be taken off the top of the orgs' CGI and sent to Sea Org Reserves.
>It also drastically decreased the amounts allocated to the orgs' "crew
>welfare", "promo" and "basic expenses".
Just a preview of what they would do in 1982 to the Missions.
The whole mindset at Flag during the late 70's/early 80's was that the
Orgs/Missions weren't doing their jobs as well as they should. The low
level people weren't being moved up the bridge fast enough, and thus the
secret bank accounts weren't filling as fast as they wanted. The solution
was to put the squeeze on the Orgs/Missions any way they could. Of course,
these solutions were greatly to the detriment of Scientology in the long
run. Operation Foot Bullet continues....
> When a staff member named Marty Sherman over at LA Org became too
>vocal in his opposition to the new finance system, the CMO Int Mission
>declared him SP on the spot. After his declare, everyone shut up and
>just accepted the new system. Obviously the new issues were "off-Source",
>but the PAC area staff were told that they *were* "Command intention"
>and in fact that "LRH had approved their issuance".

Sounds a lot like the 1982 Mission Holders conference doesn't
it? Squeeze 'em, Scare 'em, Declare 'em. The interesting question
in this and the elimination of Mike Davidson, head of the Mission
Office WW in 1977 because of his opposition to the Guardian's Office,
is exactly what role LRH played.
Davidson peeved the GO which reported to Mary Sue. The mission
to remove him and make the Mission Office WW GO-friendly was sent by his
superior - Diana Hubbard, right-hand daughter to LRH. A major secondary
factor in the action was that it was felt the missions weren't sending
their public to the orgs fast enough (sound familiar?).
In '79 and '82 CMO puts the squeeze on the Orgs and Missions
respectively. These actions have nothing to do with Mary Sue and
Diana since CMO is run by LRH himself. In fact, LRH and CMO are the
only common denominators in all of these actions.
Unfortunately, only someone in CMO itself could really answer
this question definatively. Even if LRH wasn't directly involved (which
I find to be an unlikely scenario), the actions are a direct reflection
of his greed and paranoia.
