Blown for Good - Marc Morgan Headley [117]
They were not allowed to mix with the rest of the Int Base crew except when Dave called a meeting and their presence was required or requested. And even then, when an event would come up, they would write their speeches and attend and even speak at the event as if they were still the CO CMO Int or ED Int or whatever. It was surreal. You would have guys digging ditches and scooping up crap in the aeration pond and the next thing you know they would be in a tuxedo on stage at the Shrine yapping about the latest international expansion of Scientology.
As the months went by and the SP Room had more and more people assigned to it, the rest of the crew were instructed to get these guys to admit to all the crimes that they had committed against Scientology. At first these confessions would consist of a bunch of the Int Base executives sitting in a room together yelling at them to confess their crimes. Rarely would any of them actually come up with anything of any real significance, but after a while they started coming up with some really mind-blowing things.
One day when both Marc Yager and Guillaume Lesevre were on a roll, they started telling us stuff that was just plain crazy in terms of things that people were told happened back in the 1980s. In the 1980s, both Marc Yager, CO CMO Int, and Guillaume Lesevre, ED Int, were running all of Scientology internationally while getting advice from LRH and being told what to do by Dave Miscavige, who was COB ASI at the time. Well, Guillaume and Marc were false reporting and manipulating the international statistics to make it look like they were doing what they were being told and it was working. Through this entire period, they were regularly receiving huge production bonuses and large cash payments for the stellar statistics to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. During these years, LRH even went so far as to write several Executive Directives about the international expansion occurring at the time and he created the International Birthday Game and all sorts of things, all based on the false information being fed to him by Guillaume and Marc. The entire time this was being done with the justification of them “not wanting to let LRH down.” They had started a lie that could not be undone. It was for this reason that they started comparing statistics to well known landmarks and cooking up how things could be conveyed to make them sound better than they ever were.
Marc Yager was the undisputed king of this. He would take a stat like international student completions and turn it into the biggest expansion ever realized. Even though it was drastically down from the year before. He would take the figure of 12,000 student completions internationally this year and say something on the order that if you took all those courses and stacked them end to end it would reach all the way around the moon! Well, yeah sure they did. He would calculate that if each single piece of paper in the longest course pack they had was laid out it would be 3500 feet long, then you have that many packs and checksheets and you multiply it times 12,000 and you end up with a figure of miles that is more than the circumference of the moon. It still does not say that the previous year they had 15,000 completions. And it also does not take into account that everyone reporting in on that figure was padding the figures they reported and so you had people in some orgs finishing a two hour course and then never ever coming in again being counted as “Scientologists.”
So, after Guillaume and Marc got on a roll, Marc confessed that with his falsely obtained riches, he went on to do even more despicable things. Someone even told me that when Scientology was running a campaign against Time magazine and Eli Lilly and driving their stock prices down, Marc Yager confessed that a few weeks before the campaign ended, he purchased a large number of shares in Lilly’s stock, knowing that the
