Does Introspection Rundown get worse than this?
Tony McClelland
The following is a declaration written by a person within 24
hours of his release from an Introspection Rundown by the NSW -
Australia Police. He was incarcerated for more than 3 months.
I have been advised by a member of OSA that the member has written
a new declaration, when I asked did they remove the Police record
he was silent.
I believe that the IR is a serious breach of Human Rights and I am
concerned that CCHR purports to focus on Human Rights but overlooks
abuses within the CofS.
I have changed the names and addresses.

19th Dec 1994
THIS IS A STATEMENT MADE OUT FOR THE LOCAL
DETECTIVES OF THE STATE POLICE
IN IT I EXPRESS NO DESIRE TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST
ANY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
IT IS SIMPLY A TRUE TESTIMONY OF THE INHUMANE WAY
IN WHICH I WAS TREATED BY PEOPLE WHOM I USED TO
KNOW AS FRIENDS
To introduce myself my name is Witheld. I am a
special type of member of the Church of Scientology. I am
classified as a "Sea Organisation "member. I am contracted to
the Church of Scientology in a non legal contract which makes
me a Sea Organisation member for the next billion years.
At the moment I am not doing any work for the Church
due to the harsh treatment that I received from individuals within
the City branch of the Sea Organisation. This treatment
involved being locked in a confined space for two weeks without
adequate food, being treated by the technical staff as if I were
devoid of any sanity which is in fact totally untrue. I have also
been confined to a property in Country Town for about three months
where I was denied the personal freedom of leaving that property
without an escort. I guess the most upsetting thing about all of
this is that I always was only too willing to work for the Church
and although I was quite capable of performing any duty
assigned to me I was denied the opportunity to do any type of
work for the Church.
Instead of being allowed on the Church premises I was
kept away from the premises for the last five months of my life. It
still is my intention to do work for the Church yet I am denied that
right because the technical staff have me labelled as insane. I
believe that I am not insane and in fact never was insane.
The Case Supervisors name is Mr Cadilac and he,
more than any other person in the Sea Organisation is the person
that prevents me from operating in the Sea Organisation as a
staff member. As I mentioned before, I am only too willing to work
for the Church Of Scientology as a Sea Org member but I am
being prevented from being allowed to work.
I was put onto an Audited Rundown called the
"Introspection Rundown". This rundown I do not know a large
amount of information about. But simply the name of it implies
that it is intended to be given to people who are manifesting
introversion of some particular nature. I have been shown a
photocopied page of the bulletin which outlines the Introspection
Rundown and it stated something along these lines- " the
Introspection Rundown is applied to people who make continual
originations to the examiner and are particularly interested in their
case." That is what I was shown as the LRH reference which is
being applied as to why I was put through this horrible experience
of being Audited on a Rundown that I never needed in the first
place.
What I was actually going through as a being was a
genuinely enturbulating experience in which semi-sentient beings
were actually creating effects on me through communication and
intention. This was occurring to me over these past few months
for extended periods of each and every day. I do not know who
they were or where they were or where they are from but at times
.I was pretty enturbulated. I communicated some of this to Small
Spoon
She was my immediate Senior. Her solution was to put me
onto the decks and have me do menial duties. And so that is
what I started doing. I of course did fantastic things for people
while I was doing this work because I am highly intelligent and
very in present time and very competent. I have always been like
this. I was later informed that I was to do the Introspection R/d.
My immediate thoughts on this were that they could not possibly
see me as introverted and yet that was what I was put onto. I
was dead set against doing this action as I thought that me, of all
people needing to do this action was the most preposterous thing
that I could possibly imagine as being something that I needed. I
never needed any kind of special attention whatsoever.
While "on the decks" I noticed that there was a genuine
shortage of work, in other words there was nothing to do. and yet
my own section of AOSH XXXX (Advanced Org Saint Hillxxx xxx xxx)
needed a helping hand. I was denied
the right to work there. I was illegally posted as an AO crew
member anyway because I am by rights an ITO staff member
who was nabbed in the first place.
Anyway back onto the subject of having my rights violated
due to the misapplication of a Rundown that I never needed in
the first place. Here is the series of major events and a bit about
each one.
Kitchen ST
I had been the R/d for about three weeks. I told Small Spoon
that these semi sentient beings were upsetting me and
lying to me she gave me some crazy advice that I should attempt
to "Reunite" , whatever that means. I sent a dispatch in regard to
my sit to RTC and within one hour I became locked up in Kitchen St
. While in Kitchen St I was not properly fed, in fact I was denied
food for several days. I was manhandled back into the dormitory
every time that I attempted to leave the room. One time it took
three fully grown men to get me back into that dormitory. Looking
back on that time these people had a look in their eyes as if they
intended that I die in that room. It was quite frightening because
they offered no explanation as to why they were keeping me
confined in that room and at the same time I was not being fed
and I, in fact had nobody to talk when I got upset. At no time did I
act violently toward anyone and yet I was treated in a way that
denied my rights as a citizen of this country because I was kept
confined for no valid reason. I was later informed that if a person
is on the introspection R/d that it is a standard action to put
someone through this type of treatment. I get the impression that
I was intentionally put on this R/d so that I could be treated in this
fashion if the Case Supervisor so decided. - I was at no point in
time introverted. This is the truest truth that I know.
While I was being held captive at Kitchen St I noticed a
strange report on me being written by a staff member that was
holding me captive that had different dates written on it. I also
noticed that my captors were all behaving very strangely as if
they were all devoid of any and all rationality and they only had
the one intention to keep me held captive in that room for an
extended period of time. These were people that I had worked
with and serviced for some years and yet while they were holding
me captive they certainly looked out of character. It was as if they
all had this vindictive gaze on their face while they looked at me.
I didn't understand why they looked so insane because they
refused to talk to me.
THE FARM
Late one night, while I was being held captive in the
dormitory at Kitchen St I was silently taken out of the bedroom and
led into a large white car. We travelled toward an unknown
destination and these same eerie characters that I used to know
as friends gave me the impression that they were taking me to
some isolated stretch of highway where they would stick a knife
into my back. That may sound a little weird but realise that these
people didn't appear to me to be sane. For instance none of them
talked to me at all. And they all seemed so goddamned serious
that it was as if they were taking me away to die.
It turned out that I arrived at a farm belonging to Zzzz
Wwwwwww (a Scientologist).
I occupied this old, dingy caravan for many weeks. I was fed on
boiled potatoes and porridge. I was given vitamins which ended
up coming out of my pocket anyway.
All this while I was offered no explanation as to why I was
being held captive on that property. Also I was offered no
explanation as to why these people whom I knew refused to talk
to me. They had a look of deep hatred in their eyes while they
looked at me though.
I used to ask them questions very often. I got no answer, only
deep silence and an unspoken hatred for me which I still have not
been offered any explanation for.
The people whom were holding me captive were
frequently changed . Even AO public were being sent to the farm
to baby-sit me. I never needed this "treatment" . The only effect
that this treatment had on me was that I got very upset. My PC
folder shows a good indication of how upset I am at having being
put on this enturbulating Rundown known as the Introsepection
Rundown.
I look back at the treatment I received even now ,during
the course of this rundown and I just shake my head in bitter
resentment at the reason why I was put on this rundown, for
there appears to be no reason.
The way I have been treated over the last few months as
a result of this rundown literally makes my hands shake.
After one month Nnnn Weeeee, my Auditor, started to visit
me daily. She would be given specially worked out subjects to
ask me about in regards to handling my "case".
These questions had to do with subjects that were not
causing me any type of difficulty at all. The thing that concerned
me which I wanted handled in the auditing was that there was an
incessant supply of semi-intelligent spirits that continually
communicated with me. The auditor carefully avoided this topic
and so my being put onto this action seemed at the time to be
hysterically funny. I look back on it now and regret that I didn't
end this sooner.
My main mistake was that I cooperated with these people
in their unreasonable demands that I be kept for some months in
isolation. I could have easily escaped but I chose to cooperate. I
thought that sooner or later the idiots at AOSH SSSS would
simply realise that I never needed this ridiculous type of treatment
in the first place but they didn't.
Three days ago I was sitting in a chair minding my own
business and Tom Possss physically attacked me. He grabbed
me by the cuff and started threatening that he was going to kill
me. I handled this problem simply by not laying a finger on him.
This man was one of my captors and his attack was completely
unprovoked.
Yesterday my captor refused to feed me.
I decided to go for an unescorted walk. While walking I
realised that I hadn't talked to my mother for quite some time. I
said hello. She was worried sick about me. She had called the
City AO many times over the last few months and had been
offered no explanation as to where I was except that I was having
'psychological problems' . She was told that I was on a farm and
was being helped with my psychological problems.
I told her that I was upset because they were not letting
me off the property and that I had been sent there for no
legitimate reason at all.
. While I was at the phone booth my captor arrived to take
me back. Within five minutes two more people, one of whom was
the very same man that threatened to kill me, arrived on the
scene in a four-wheel-drive vehicle to take me back to the
property. I was being manhandled out of the area and into the
vehicle while my captor was talking to my mother on the phone.
He hung up on my mother and we drove away.
Half an hour later the Small Town police arrived on the scene.
The constable took me aside and said that he had been informed
by my mother that I was being held on the property against my
will. He then asked me if I wanted to leave. I said yes.
He drove me to the train station and let me go wherever I
wanted to.
I went to my uncles place in Nortborn.
