Blown for Good - Marc Morgan Headley [90]
My initial involvement with the landlord office was when I helped build their offices as part of the weekly all-hands renovations in 1990. The landlord office is located in what used to be a gas station adjacent to the main highway that runs through the property, in the “garage” or “estates” building as it would later be named.
In 1993 I spent quite a bit of time in the landlord office drawing up plans for one of their biggest organizations in Europe. This was the Advanced Organization & Saint Hill Europe. This building would be the first to have a new type of auditing session surveillance system installed in all auditing rooms. We were supposed to install a microphone and two tiny cameras in every single room where auditing was to take place. These cameras and microphone would then feed into several central locations where they could be both viewed and recorded. Any number of people would then be able to watch these sessions.
I had installed this same system in Los Angeles already, as well as other audio visual systems at other organizations in the LA area.
The Danish building was almost entirely made up of solid brick walls, so planning the installation of hundreds of cameras and microphone wiring was no small task. It took many weeks to plan and many more months to execute.
While I was working in the landlord office I became familiar with one of the biggest projects that they had been working on. It was the new Flag Building. This was to be the new facility where the Super Power rundowns would be delivered across the street from the Fort Harrison Hotel. The building was HUGE. It was six stories high and entirely covered with glass panels. It looked nothing like the Fort Harrison Hotel at all. They had a full-scale model of the building on display in the office. It was very detailed and even had tiny little cars driving down Fort Harrison avenue and people on the sidewalks.
I was asked to look at the building because they would need to install the same camera and mic systems in that building as well. It was huge and had hundreds and hundreds of auditing rooms. I told them it would cost a lot of money for that kind of stuff. “We spent over $50,000 having this model made,” one of the landlord staff told me. “I think we will be able to afford the cameras with the millions of dollars that are being raised to build this building.”
Super Power - 1995
There were two girls that worked at the base in the Qualifications Division of Gold. Katie and Melissa. Both Katie and Melissa shared the same last name of Feshbach. They were not sisters, but cousins and both daughters of the famed Feshbach brothers. The Feshbach brothers were famous within Scientology because they were rich. Not only were they rich, but they were still rich after giving millions of their dollars to Scientology. So they were in fact, crazy rich.
Katie and Melissa were obviously not hurting cash wise. Most of us would live week to week on our $35 paycheck. Not Katie or Melissa. My wife was also in the Qualifications Division of Gold and worked with Katie and Melissa on a regular basis. When Katie got married to a good friend of mine, my wife and I shared an apartment with Katie and her husband, Josh.
Melissa had a car (given to her by her dad), but had not done Car School, so I would frequently get to drive it whenever I needed, in exchange for being her driver when she needed one. It was a very fair deal and her new car was in no way a detriment to me.
Well, at one point Katie and Melissa found out that their dads and their uncle were all coming up to the base! This was unheard of. Public Scientologists coming to the base? Only movie stars or musicians would normally come up here, not stock market short sellers! So sure enough, Joe, Matt and Kurt Feshbach ended up coming to the base for several weeks.
Then we found out why. They were all going
