Bare-Faced Messiah (PDF) - Apologetics Index

The Commodore's first message was shout back what they are shouting at us - "Get out CIA". Then
a message to get everyone away from the side. I pulled a messenger in yelling her head off and the
rock meant for her hit me - I heard the bone go. I ran down to the medical office and got myself
bandaged. I put butterfly clips on [Fred] Hare's father's head and bandaids. Finally we got the
engine started and we got out the bay area and stayed there to wait for the crew and supplies.
Then we had a storm. We had a raft we used to bring supplies ashore. As the raft went up they'd
throw in supplies - we lost two cows and a pig. Throwing boxes of eggs in, up and down. She had
gone out with the raft alongside. It would bring out produce.

MONEY. Gold had just done something - dropped horribly at some time - a report came out from
Switzerland, they were going to change the tax laws in some way that would affect Scientology
reserves and his money. He went crazy, screaming and yelling. I ran upstairs. "Do you know what
they're doing? We're going to lose everything. Everything's gone! Gone! Gone!" He was screaming
at the top of his voice. The ship was in the Bahamas at this time. I said, "Good, let's move it." He
said, "What?" I said, "Move it. Where can we move it? I don't know, Liechtenstein?" Three hours
later he called up and said, "You're going to Zurich, then Liechtenstein." He had his plan figured
out, "We've got them now!", gleeful. Tony had been talking to me about moving his money to
Liechtenstein (he'd bought the gold with an inheritance from his mother). He asked who I wanted to
take. I said Michael Douglas. I was told to take the first plane. Mary Sue wanted Fred Hare to go too.
Michael and Fred and I all went to Switzerland with handwritten orders from LRH. We were to take
cash, dollars, Swiss francs, marks - take the physical money and move it to Liechtenstein. We were
to go to a bank in Zurich and move the money. When we got there we had a problem - we had
forgotten which it was. Liechtenstein solved the problem - they accepted a cheque. They took brand
new Swiss francs and dollars. We went into a bank vault in Liechtenstein and saw a pile of money.
This was in Vaduz. We were shown the piles of money. We didn't see it in Zurich. We took all the
serial numbers in Liechtenstein, first and last from each bundle. There was a stack four feet high
and 3-4 wide. Big denominations, 100 dollar bills, francs and marks. We were so far out on so
many things, incapable of being surprised. I was beyond surprise. We had overreached bounds of
ridiculousness with his broken arm, we were way beyond common sense. Three of us went in and
there were a lot of bank people sitting there taking down numbers, making sure they had the right
amount. That money was sealed, it was our money. We were there about a week and a half. We
had some wonderful meals, we had seen that pile of dough. As far as I was concerned, I was
working for a bunch of loonies, and I liked a lot of them.
Some of the money was under Hubbard's name, I saw his bundle. Another bundle was under the
Church. The Church's was bigger but his was big too. When we saw the money everyone's eyes
widened. We were told it was highly confidential. When we got back to the ship we saw him
immediately. He wanted us to describe how big the piles were. The list of currency numbers was
given to Mary Sue. He was very pleased, he thought he had outdone the Swiss. She was still in
Nassau when got back.
A couple of weeks later he told me he was going to sell the ship and go ashore. I was Financial
Planning chairman for the ship. The chief engineer wanted a new engine and someone else
wanted to bring a printing press aboard. I said no - I knew it was not going to be used much longer.
We all got off the ship and flew to Orlando with LRH. I don't know what passport he used. We
moved to a high rise apartment building in Daytona for 3 months, overlooking the sea. The routine
