Attorney for Plaintiff,
LAWRENCE DOMINICK WOLLERSHEIM

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

I, Jesse Prince declare as follows:

1 . I am over 18 years of age and currently reside in the State of Illinois, County of Cook. This declaration is of my own personal knowledge and if called upon to testify to the facts herein I could and would be competently able to testify thereto.

MY PARTICIPATION IN SCIENTOLOGY THE SEA ORGANIZATION

2 . I joined the Sea Organization, commonly referred to as the Sea Org, in September of 1976. The Sea Org is a paramilitary organization that manages and controls all of the Scientology Organizations and related entities that exist in the world. I was also required to sign a billion year contract at the time I was recruited. Within a week, I entered the first Sea Org indoctrination program named the Estates Project Force. The Estates Project Force consists of several levels of indoctrination named "Product Levels." On these "Product Levels, l' I was indoctrinated in Scientology ethics and justice procedures and the history of the Sea Organization. I was invasively interrogated (called confessional in Scientology) and took a mission school-training course, among other indoctrination courses. Flag Order 3155RC, entitled "The Basic Sea Org Training Program," details the training required for persons newly recruited to the Sea Org. A true and correct copy of this document is attached hereto as Exhibit "HHH-99." From the very beginning, through indoctrination from these courses, I learned that the Sea Org managed all Scientology Organizations and related entities such as Scientology Missions International (SMI), World Institute of Scientology Enterprise (WISE) and Narconon, to name a few. The length and breadth of the doctrine of the Sea Org is detailed and codified in issues named "Flag Orders." The primary business of the Sea Org is missions. One definition of "mission" in Sea Org terms describes an activity whereby two or more Sea Org members go to a remote Scientology organization or enterprise and take over the activity for the purpose of getting the activity to make more money which, in turn, benefits the Sea Org financially. The governing policy of the type of mission referred to above, is to cause the activity (Organization) to make money, then make more money, then make other people produce so as to make money. See HCO Policy Letter 9 March 1972 "Income Flows and Pools," a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "QQ-99." These same missions are authorized by the Sea Org to use Scientology ethics and justice procedures. This authority gives these types of missions total authority to remove and demote personnel, including corporate officers and executives in any Scientology Organization, corporation or Scientology-related entity as it sees fit. See Exhibits: "M 99, It "Y-99" and "FF-99," which are true copies of the original documents. See also, Sea Organization Central Bureaux Order 621 29 November 1979 "By Pass of Management Sector Handling of," a true copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 'RR-99. "

3 . The success of the Sea Org is primarily measured by its income. Sea Org income is defined as "the amount of money received by the corporation (Sea Org) after the allocation to Sea Org and Scientology Organizations" [translated, this means each and every Sea Org organization as well as each and every Scientology organization world wide sends to the Sea Org all monies remaining after the basic necessities (bills and payroll for staff) of the individual organization are paid and before management expenses are taken out; this is the classic double bite which normally reduced the Sea Org and Scientology Organization staff payroll allocation]. This is according to Hubbard policy letter of 9 March 1972, called "Income Flows and Pools, Principles of money management," a true copy of which is attached as Exhibit "QQ-99." This "policy" was written by L Ron Hubbard. During my tenure in the Sea Org, I executed many of these missions within the United States and other countries of the world.

COMMAND STRUCTURE AND HIERARCHY OF THE COMMODORE'S MESSENGER ORGANIZATION AND THE SEA ORGANIZATION

4 . Until his death in 1986, L. Ron Hubbard was the unchallenged dictator of the entire Scientology enterprise. L. Ron Hubbard designated himself "Commodore". In the hierarchy of the Sea Org, "Commodore" is the highest rank. L. Ron Hubbard created a "statistic system" for every function and activity of Sea Org and Scientology organizations and micro-managed this created "statistic system." According to his many written policies, the best thing a Sea Org member or Scientologist could do was to always have "statistics" going up. Hubbard authored, or had others author, many thousands of detailed instructions and directives intended to teach his flock how to keep the "statistics" going up. He wrote or had written Polices, Flag Orders, Bulletins and Executive Directives concerning every aspect of the operation of the Sea Org and Scientology organizations. Sea Org members and Scientologists are required to follow these instructions and orders of Hubbard to the letter. This is documented and made very clear in a policy letter written by Hubbard, entitled "Keeping Scientology Working." This policy letter declares that it is a "criminal offense" not to follow any L. Ron Hubbard instruction to the letter. These crimes are punishable through Scientology ethics and justice procedures.

5 . Next in authority in the Sea Org hierarchy are the "Commodore's Messengers." L. Ron Hubbard authored Flag Order 3729, also known as Executive Directive 106 Commodore's Messenger Organization (CMO), entitled "Commodore's Messengers." This issue is one of many directives and instructions on how to be a "good" Commodore's Messenger. In the above issue, Hubbard shares his total authority over his Sea Org and Scientology Empire with others who have been trained to think and act in the same way as Hubbard himself. He designated his "messengers" as emissaries of himself. This same issue was issued to all Sea Org members with the instruction that all were to recognize his messengers as an extension of himself. All were instructed to show his messengers the same respect and courtesy as his flock of Sea Org members and Scientologists were required to show Hubbard, the single highest authority of the Sea Org and Scientology empire he created. Messengers had complete authority to go within any Sea Org, Scientology, or Scientology-related entity. A true and correct copy of Flag Order 3729 is attached hereto as Exhibit "UU-99." As a note, only Sea Org members are ever eligible to become Commodore's Messengers.

6 . There is a hierarchy within the Commodore's Messengers Organization. The top messenger, also known as the "Commanding Officer," commands and orders all other messengers within the organization of messengers. The top Commodore's Messenger in Scientology is David Miscavige. There are also subordinate "In Charge" positions within the messenger organization. An In Charge would have the authority to command and order lesser messengers, Sea Org Members and any Scientologist if it meant complying with an order from a higher messenger or L. Ron Hubbard himself. Two issues written or ordered by L. Ron Hubbard, entitled CM0 Command Channels, issued 15 June 1976 and issue CM0 Regulations, issued 11 Jan 1976 are among the many directives that define the authority of the Commodore's Messenger Organization. A true and correct copy of CM0 Command Channels is attached hereto as Exhibit "TT-99;" a true and correct copy of CM0 Regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit "SS-99."

7 . There is also a hierarchy among the different messenger organizations. The most senior messenger organization in all of the different messenger organizations is "The Religious Technology Center" (RTC) . This is documented in the many different "Command Channels" booklets issued and authored, and/or authorized by RTC since the early 80s. See Exhibit "X-99."

8. The next command level below RTC is called "The International Watchdog Committee." The Watchdog Committee was created with the purpose of overseeing the activities of the Guardian's Office and Scientology management bodies in order to "keep Scientology working." It is a senior management committee that manages all sectors of Scientology, i.e., all Sea Organizations, all Scientology Organizations International, and related Scientology entities such as Scientology Missions International (SMI), and World Institute of Scientology Enterprise, International (WISE). See HCO PL 22 December 1981, "International Watchdog Committee," a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "W-99."

9 . The next level of hierarchical authority within the messenger organizations and Scientology Enterprise is the "Commodore's Messengers Organization International" (COMINT) . This body executes the orders and commands of the Watchdog Committee, and manages and supervises the many other Commodore's Messenger Organizations within the United States and abroad. (See Exhibit "W-99.")

10. Next in the chain of hierarchy is the Office of the Executive Director International (EDINT) . The Executive Director International orders and commands the senior-most Sea Org executives over all the different management sections of the Sea Org, Scientology Organizations International, and every other Scientology related entity. These executives in turn order and command all areas of the Scientology empire. This office is not a Commodore's Messenger Organization, but it is a Sea Org organization.

11. There are descending levels of the hierarchical chain of command from this point, as described in Scientology's Command Channel booklets. From early 1983 until January 1987, I was the second in command of the Religious Technology Center. I was identified by RTC attorney Samuel Rosen as such in Federal Court in Denver on August 20, 1998. See Exhibit 'C-99," attached hereto.

A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THE APPLICATION OF "MISSION TECH" TO BYPASS CORPORATE LINES OF AUTHORTIY

12. In October of 1982, I was part of a Sea Org Mission that was sent to San Francisco to "handle" the Mission Holders of the Church of Scientology. The Mission Holders were franchisees of Scientology who offered introductory courses in Scientology to the public.

13. L. Ron Hubbard was upset with the Mission Holders because he felt that the Mission Holders in general were withholding tithes owed to Sea Org International Management. L. Ron Hubbard had also sent down orders stating that several Sea Org members in high leadership positions within the Commodor's Messenger Organization International ("CMO Int.") and the Office of the Executive Director International ("ED Int.") were dissatisfied with Scientology management and were siding with the Mission Holders. L.Ron Hubbard's orders went to David Miscavige and they were clear: Handle this insurrection and crush anyone who protested.

14. The missionaire in charge of the San Francisco Mission Holder's Mission was David Miscavige. Mr. Miscavige is flat out attempting to deceive this court in his declaration when he characterizes his presence at this conference as that of an "invited" master of ceremonies. Mr. Miscavige was the Missionaire I/C (In Charge) and was running the entire operation. Further, his "invitation" certainly did not come from the Mission Holders, it came in the form of Mission orders from the Commodore himself, L. Ron Hubbard. Lest there be any doubt whatsoever about the truth of what I am saying, I invite the court to examine Exhibit "L-99," a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto.

15. Exhibit "L-99," paints a far different picture of the San Francisco Mission Holder's Conference than the "Shore Story" Scientology is telling. Exhibit "L-99," THE SEA ORG MOVES IN, is a newsletter that shows clearly how Miscavige and the Sea Org characterized the San Francisco Mission Holder's conference for the purpose of letting the staff and paying public of Scientology know who had won the power struggle between the Sea Org and the Mission Holders. It gives a far truer picture of what was going on at this conference than even the published "transcript" of the conference, because the transcript was heavily edited before Miscavige approved it for publication.

16. I was part of the mission headed up by David Miscavige that was ordered to handle the San Francisco Mission Holder's Conference. The first thing the mission did upon its arrival in San Francisco was to visit the local Scientology Organization. Missionaire I/C, David Miscavige immediately bypassed all corporate lines of authority and started an inspection of the organization. He decided that the Executive Director of the organization was incompetent and he viciously interrogated him with an e-meter, (a form of lie detector), physically abused him, and removed him from his position on the spot.

17. From the local Org, we proceeded to the Mission Holder's Conference. By this time, David Miscavige had really worked himself into a lather, and he declared two Mission Holders "Suppressive Persons" and expelled them on the spot. This is brazenly bragged about in the issue "The Sea Org Moves In." The doors to the conference room were locked and guarded. Miscavige then lined up approximately 20 other Mission Holders, most of whom were crying and terrified, and told them to get their checkbooks ready as they had been "ripping off" Scientology Organizations of their 'rightful income" for too long. In reality, Miscavige and several others just took whatever amount of money they wanted out of the Mission Holder's corporate accounts.

18. Miscavige introduced Larry Heller, attorney for Scientology who was personally hired by Miscavige, who informed the Mission Holders that the "New Tough Management" intended to prosecute and jail anyone who did not comply with the orders and directions of the new management.

19. Lyman Spurlock, a senior Sea Org executive who was one of Miscavige's inner circle, threatened the Mission Holders with prosecution and explained that the Sea Org now had the power to do this to the Mission Holders because of all the new corporate changes that were designed to exert more control over the Mission Holders.

20. The "new management" is pictured in their Sea Org uniforms at the speaker's table in Exhibit "L 99." These are the same people who manage Scientology today, and they do it in the same manner, through their positions of power in the Sea Org.

21. When all of the speakers were done, each and every Mission Holder was viciously interrogated by multiple missionaires using the e-meter. Then each mission holder was required to have a mug shot taken, one from the front and one from the side, in the same way police commonly do. After the mug shots were taken, the Mission Holders were required to write checks from their corporate accounts for the maximum amount of money possible.

22. When all the Sea Org Missionaires returned to Gilman Hot Springs, which is the true home of Scientology's International Management, the results of the mission were sent directly to L. Ron Hubbard. The Commodore was very pleased with the report he got from David Miscavige and decided to make it a policy to run this mission in European countries where Scientology existed. I was sent on this mission along with others to do the same activity to Mission Holders in Copenhagen, Denmark.

23. This activity continued in other locations, executed by the International Finance Police under the direction of the International Finance Dictator located in the Commodore's Messenger Organization International. All of this was under the dictatorship of Miscavige.

ATTACK THE ATTACKER

24. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A-99," is a true and correct copy of a Scientology directive titled "Attacks on Scientology, Additional Policy Letter," which states, in part:

25. Attached as Exhibit "AAA-99," is a true and correct copy of the Committee of Evidence and "Declare" statement of Alex Sibersky, and attached as Exhibit "BBB-99," is a true and correct copy of the Committee of Evidence and '"Declare" statement of David Mayo.

26. I was a member of the committees of evidence documented in Exhibits "AAA-99" and "BBB 99." There was no fairness involved in these supposed "justice" actions. Hubbard considered that these people were "disaffected with management," and disloyalty (meaning questioning anything at all) is the worst crime a Sea Org member can commit. What was going to happen to these people was already pre-determined by Hubbard and executed by Miscavige. We were required to sign our names to a document that had already been prepared. I have personal knowledge that such actions are based on longstanding policies.

27. Attached hereto, as Exhibit LL-99 is a true and correct copy of Flag conditions Order 7068, 27 December 1982, SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS DECLARE pertaining to eight separate individuals.

28. With regard to my former position as a high-ranking executive in the Sea Org, even Scientology attorney Samuel Rosen told the judge in the FACTNet hearing in Denver that I had been second in command of all of Scientology (See Exhibit 'C-99") . I was an expert witness on the subject of Scientology on behalf of RTC in the Robin Scott/David Mayo litigation. In addition, on December 31, 1986, Miscavige himself introduced me as "Deputy Inspector General" at a New Year's Eve event at the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida. I gave a briefing at that event about how RTC was going about crushing people who tried to apply any part of Scientology technology without paying for it, an issue which was part of the Scott/Wollersheim II litigation. (A true and correct copy of a audio tape of the Scientology New Years Event of 86/87 is contained on Exhibit 'Xx-99," attached to this motion.)

29. I did give two taped interviews, which contradict my statements in this declaration concerning Miscavige's control of Scientology. The first interview occurred shortly before Halloween in 1992. With my wife, I was trying to get permission to leave the secret compound in Gilman Hot Springs, and they would not allow us to leave unless I agreed to state on audiotape that I was leaving on my own free will, that I was happy and pleased with being incarcerated against my will on the Rehabilitation Project Force, that I had committed many crimes in Scientology and Scientology had helped me overcome these criminal tendencies, that Miscavige was not the dictator of Scientology, and that I had never witnessed any illegal activities being committed within Scientology. I was also required to make self-denigrating statements on this tape which were not true. I was threatened by Marty Rathbun and Mike Sutter that if I did not agree to make this taped statement, I would become the target of Fair Game. The giving of "interviews" such as I went through are part of the policy of Scientology and anyone leaving the Sea Org is required to "route out" pursuant to policy or be declared.

30. The second interview happened in Boston in 1994. Mike Sutter called me and said that he wanted to see me to find out how I was doing. He made it sound like a friendly chat that we were going to have. At that time I was still afraid of the imagined power these people had over me. I agreed to meet with Mike Sutter and Scientology attorney Earl Cooley at Cooley's office in Boston. Instead of a friendly chat, it turned into an interrogation in which they told me they were doing poorly in some of their legal cases and demanded to know if I was assisting "the enemy." Before I was allowed to go, they drilled me on what to say and then put it all on tape. They took information from my auditing folders and kept "reminding" me of things I had said in sessions.

31. These taped statements are Scientology's way of attempting to destroy the credibility of a former Scientologist who has knowledge that can harm the organization in case that individual later decides to come forward to expose the truth.

32. Until the reorganization of 1982, in which RTC was formed, it had been CSC that registered the trademarks for Scientology. RTC was specifically created to take over that function from CSC. As far as I know, AS1 took over the function of overseeing the copyrights.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct under the laws of the State of California executed this ___day of December 1999, at Tampa, Florida
