There is a rumor going around about the cult and its vast wealth. I'm not sure I believe it ... but... well, you decide... The rumor goes ... that in order to hide its vast wealth from governments, the cult decided it needed it's own vaults. Deep, impenetrable, buried vaults, hidden behind fences and guarded by its own armed guards 24/7. But in order to build these vaults, and not raise suspicions, a shore story was needed. A shore story that was so ridiculous and so outlandish, that the public would laugh, and laugh, and laugh... and shake its collective head, and say those crazy scientologists! And never give the vault(s) a second thought. Finally, one day, a bright idea regarding a shore story occurred to *************. Why not tell everyone what was in the vaults! Brilliant! Tell the public and parishioners, that the old mans writings were SO VALUABLE, that they needed to last millions of years! And the only way to do that, would be to imprint them on platinum plates, and store them in titanium boxes. The fact that these same writings, in paperback or hardback form, were being thrown out in the trash daily by thousands of librarians, made the story that much more outlandish. Those crazy scientologists! Now here's the interesting part, did you know that platinum is also a precious metal, and is currently priced at $1469/oz (compared to $ 1366/oz for gold!). Another words, platinum is worth more than gold. Here is an expert explanation: Today, platinum is a widely-used although extremely rare metal, critically important to the auto industry, the jewelry trade, and the chemical, electrical and glass manufacturing industries. Far rarer than gold, it is estimated that all of the platinum ever mined throughout history would fit into a cube less than 25 feet on each side. The vast majority of platinum mined today comes from just two parts of the world: The Bushveld Complex north of Pretoria, South Africa and the Noril'sk-Talnakh region of Siberia in Russia, which produce, respectively, about two-thirds and one-quarter of the world's platinum supply each year.Platinum's supply/demand fundamentals are tight. In fact, according to some estimates, if platinum mining were to cease today, there would be only about a year's supply available to industry. In contrast, above-ground supplies of gold would last nearly a quarter of a century. http://www.monex.com/prods/platinum.html So that's the rumor. Those crazy Scientologists!
No dox, true, but this is worth a little bit of inquiry. Regardless, we know that they are using precious metals in these fortresses, and if they are amassing appreciable quantities, they could affect the prices and availabilities of these metals, a la the Hunt Brothers. They have the capital, they are arrogant enough to do this, and lord knows the little sociopath is cunning enough to try it. The money is going SOMEWHERE, and we have been speculating for years on offshore accounts, but perhaps they ARE putting a goodly chunk into precious metals stored in their own vaults. This would fit in with the little midget's obsessive need for absolute control and micromanagment. By engraving "religious" materials onto these metals (at a negligible cost to them given their slave labor), they then can claim some sort of exemption if it comes time for them to liquidate their assets involuntarily. Not only would it serve as a shore story for the world, but also for the sheeple inside. Even if it isn't a brilliant asset hiding scheme, the fact remains that they do have a stockpile of precious metals. One of the good things we can do is dig until we find out where all their assets are, because our goal is to force them to liquidate their assets for bankruptcy, payment of taxes or lawsuits. They will not voluntarily disclose these assets, and creating these very expensive "religious artifacts" may be one way they "bury" (ha double meaning here) their assets and keep them out of reach. So how do we follow up on this? Where would we look for metals trading on their part? I would love to hear Mike Rinder's or some of the other higher up insiders on this. Hmmmm..... I am going to give this some serious thought.....
Your 'logic' is fail, because there is no way to get dox, without breaching the security of the vaults. Ever heard of Ockham's (Occam's) Razor? Also: cawks
WWP is the source for the platinum story. Other source say the plates are made of stainless steel and their boxes titanium.
DOX: http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/trementina-vault3.htm The IRS records show that the "Church" of "Spiritual Technology" spent $13 million in 1992 to preserve "scripture" on 1.8 million stainless steel plates and his lectures on 187,000 nickel records that can be played back with a stylus as crude as a thorn in the event of some future cataclysm, The Associated Press reported.
It DOES sound like a Scientology shore story, as it deflects wildly from what would be a more plausible truth. I was at a Scientology event in the 1990s when Norman Starkey presented one of these items. It's possible just one was produced, to properly edjamacate the flock… lol I'll bet Normie's just loving his time spent in the Hole, declared SP.
The story teller is more ridiculous than the story if he/she doesn't know that platinum is worth more than gold. Since the Internet, even drug cartels know to launder their cash into electronic currency so they can take it and use it anywhere with Internet.
The vaults are for storing Diamond and Platinum Excalibur Trophies that are made out of fake Diamonds and Platinum!
Apparently you haven't watch any James Bond movie, where money only exists on notebooks. Bank hacks? Oh no, should I close all my bank accounts right now?
Fail troll is full of fail. I did, years ago, and I don't support the banking syndicate with interest payments, or deposits for loans. Then again, I'm off the grid. YMMV.
Before I forget, diamond hold it's value against all the technology advances because of it's portability. You can hide most of your worth in a tiny safe in your house. If you need to run for some reasons, you just put them in your pocket. It's easy to get cash for it too. It doesn't set off any metal detectors. You have to be stripped searched to find some small stones you carry. For true hiding in plain sight, you can wear them as large crystal fashion accessories. An anonymous account number in a Swiss bank is evolution. Building a vault is not wise, unless you rule the whole country and never need to run, and you have an army to protect it - Fort Knox.
Agreed; however, David Miscavige has NPD, megalomania, and dipsomania, the combination of which probably tends to cloud his judgment just a tad
Interesting article about CST - the super secret organization in charge of the vaults. Seems there are quite a few, 17 were in various stages of construction in 1988 - there are probably 2 or 3 times that many by now. Here's the article: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/02/scientologys_se.php Why build so many, with vaults like banks? with time locks? Really........mmmm......I think they are used to store something much more valuable than LRH's crappy writings.
Locations of some of the vaults: Trementina, New Mexico Rimforest aka Twin Peaks, southwest of Lake Arrowhead Petrolia, California Tuolumne, California (referred to it as the Lady Washington Mine) Sweeney Ranch mine (is in southwestern Wyoming). http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/02/scientologys_se.php

So pulling those loose threads: (1) Who are William and Donna Daniels? Are they still in? They purchased the Lady Washington Mine, in Toulumne, CA (in 1988)- then transferred it (in 1988)to Author's Family Trust (Norman Starkey), who transferred it to CST. (2) Who is International Ground Support Services (IGSS) and their officers Fernando E Valencia (Pres) and John Pye (VP)? Are they scientologists? They purchased the Rock Springs, Wyoming site and began working on it in 2008. They were required to stop work in early 2009, when local authorities objected to their lack of permits. It was abandoned in 2009, current status unknown. IGSS was also involved with the Petrolia vault site. Principal officers are: Fernando E. Valencia (President) and John Pye (Vice President) - both have addresses in Santa Fe, New Mexico. International Ground Support Systems, Inc. has a location in Santa Fe, NM. International Ground Support Systems, Inc. has no known officers per Dun & Bradstreet. The company's line of business includes Engineering Construction.

Distractor-bot, I reckon. I'm sure you all have figured that out, right ? Michael A. Hobson Independent Scientologist
a little distraction is part of the fun Is there something specific going on that we should be paying attention to beside the usual crimes and abuses of the Scientology corporation?
Yes, you are indeed a distractor-bot… but, guess what? The focus of Anonymous is a laser. Also: lay off the pork-rib a little.

Dox from SP Times. Titanium, not platinum http://www.sptimes.com/TampaBay/102598/scientologyphotos.html
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/06...stment-precious-metals-commodities-aerospace/ So.... any guesses on how much titanium they may have? This may be an asset that can be counted in any bankrupty proceeding. Bet they won't volunteer this amount in their accounting of their assets....
http://www.infomine.com/investment/metal-prices/ferro-titanium/ Looks like the current price of titanium is about 6.80/kg USD. 1 kg=2.2 lbs, making the price $14.96/lb. AND WHERE THE HELL DID THAT EBAY CAPSULE COME FROM? That is soooo entheta. Bet that dude is not getting HIS money on account back anytime soon.
Gah, what a mess! I can't tell if that's the latest version or if all the references are intact. I'll take my backup copy, and put it up on that site. Besides, I think its template support is probably better than the twice-dead WWPwiki, so I can fix up the formatting. (Not tonight. Right now I can only think to two potato, and I'm losing spuds fast.)
