DECEPTIVE STATEMENTS MADE AT THE HIGHER INITIATES MEETING OCTOBER
22,1983:

http://web.archive.org/web/20091130045925/http://darwingrosstruthfile.homestead.com/DGTFitem3.html

ARTICLE I:

This corporation is subordinate to and affiliated with The Living
Master and His Successors, A Corporation Sole, organized under the
laws of the State of Nevada, pursuant to the doctrines of a
hierarchical Church. This corporation irrevocably shall be a
subordinate entity in the ecclesiastical organization, under the
direction, authority, and control of the Living Master.

ARTICLE VI:

The affairs of this corporation shall be managed consistent with its
purposes by a Board of Trustees ... Trustees shall be elected by the
Living Master Member.

ARTICLE VIII:

This corporation shall have one member and that is the Living Master
Member. The Living Master Member will be the only member having voting
rights. The Living Master Member shall be the Living Master member and
His Successors, a Corporation Sole organized under the laws of the
State of Nevada ... or its successor or assignee.

ARTICLE X

Upon dissolution of the corporation, the Trustees shall ...dispose of
any remaining assets to and among the Living Master Member or such one
or more corporations, associations, trusts, foundations, and
institutions that are then in existence as the Living Master may
designate.

ARTICLE I establishes the Corporation/Minnesota on lines developed for
Roman Catholic Bishops. The Roman Catholic Church is the best known
example of an autocratic church organization. Members have no control,
voting rights or recourse. They exist at the mercy of the hierarchy.
Bishops are at least theoretically subject to audit, policy control
and supervision by the Vatican's bureaucracy and by the Pope. Article
I shows Klemp answerable to no one but himself. We know Skelskey is in
the picture but that is about as reassuring as having a weasel in the
chicken coop.

ARTICLE VI shows a token board of trustees. Any trustee can be
replaced at any time by the titular Living Master, and at his whim or
pleasure. No cause need be shown. This Article guarantees that
Skelskey's October 22, 1983 pronouncement has become a reality for the
organization.

ARTICLE VIII hands the voting rights of the Board of Trustees over to
Harold Klemp. They can still vote at board meetings but if Klemp or
Skelskey does not like something they say or do, the offending
trustees can be removed at once, without cause and without
explanation.

ARTICLE VIII determines successorship to be a Nevada corporation.
Klemp can at any time dissolve the Minnesota corporation and transfer
its assets to a corporation in Nevada "or its successor or
assignee".This means for practical purposes that the corporation
substantial cash assets can be transferred anywhere in the world, at
Klemp's discretion. LR.S. policies governing non-profits declare they
cannot inure to individual benefit but enforcement policy does not
extend to many countries for lack of reciprocal treaties. Any
transfer to an off-shore bank would remove whatever tenuous
governmental controls remain. Personal Klemp/Skelskey control can be
converted to personal Klemp/Skelskey ownership very rapidly under the
Minnesota articles.

Understand I not saying that they have done this but I am pointing to
a barn door standing wide open. It is a very unsound arrangement and
like so many other changes Pete and Harold have contrived, it shows
the profound differences existing between Paul and myself on the one
hand, and Harold and Pete on the other.They say they are worried the
public will confuse me with the organization. Believe me, they are not
half as worried about that prospect as am I! That's a major reason why
I keep writing, not to say I told you so later on,but to provide fair
warning of what can go wrong when all controls are taken off by people
who need all the controls society can lawfully apply as a consequence.
I always felt the organizational controls were there for my protection
as well as that of the membership. That someone would want them
removed is far from reassuring, particularly in the context of
10-22-83.

ARTICLE X makes the total control over assets referred to in ARTICLE
VIII more explicit. Klemp can do with the organization's assets what
he sees fit. He is the dictator, subject only to Skelskey's influence.
No outsider can know what degree of influence that may be but Skelskey
is the President of all three state corporations.This means he and
Klemp are in a position to control everything that happens in the
organization. No one can criticize them and remain a member.

c. The original Nevada ASOST corporation,(18) as amended by Klemp,
(19) is subject to the California corporation. It was filed by the
same law firm(20) in Oregon which represented Klemp in his corporation
5 lawsuits against me, and not by the Minnesota corporation house
counsel. It therefore appears the amendment may have had its origin in
that litigation and in advice sought from the Oregon law firm on ways
to prevent myself or the membership from re-establishing trustee
control. When the membership eventually finds out how the October 22,
1983 Higher Initiates meeting was staged to deceive, they will also
find they have no voting rights with which to object. (Nevada was the
second corporation in which trustee voting control was destroyed.)

d. The California corporation articles, filed April 14, 1975, were
amended on June 20, 1985.
(California was the first corporation in which trustee voting control
was destroyed.) "Membership" is an empty word. Seizure of control
from me was a prelude to seizure of control from the trustees.
Trustee control was denied or destroyed in the following sequence:

(1) California 06-20-8
(2) Minnesota 01-30-87.
(3) Nevada 12-21-87.

______________________________________________
(18) Filed May 21, 1970.

(19) "This Corporation shall have one member and that is the Living
Master Member shall be the only
member having voting rights." That language means no member of the
board of trustees has any real voting power. He can can only go
through the motions. Klemp can overrule or replace any or all trustees
as he sees fit.

(20) Esler, Stephens & Buckley.

My guess would be that "Successors" applies to subsequent Living
Master members, or those in the lineage of Eck Masters following
Harold Klemp.

[Etznab]

15 January 1969? OK. I didn't know that.

My impression was 1970. Examples:

(1)

"On the advice of Paul's attorneys, in 1970 Eckankar was established
as a nonprofit organization. This would provide financial stability,
continuity of the ECK teachings, and insure the future of Eckankar.
[....]"

[Based on: Article: (The Future of ECK), by Harold Klemp - see link]

http://www.eckankar.org/Masters/Peddar/man.html#training

(2)

"Yes, Paul did turn ECKANKAR into a non-profit organization before he
died. I believe that Dr. Bluth was the first Chairman of the Board,
which began in 1970, I believe." [Doug Marman]

[See Nov 10th, 2000 KMerrymoon post]

[Btw, Doug didn't know there was a Board of Directors prior to 1970?.
David did know this and Patti confirmed it in DM's book TWT.]

***

Btw, I believe the first Eckankar trademark filing was 1968 ... the
year before 1969.

My impression was 1970.

Refer to Paul Twitchell Wisdom Note June 1, 1970 - 2nd-last paragraph.
It talked about being in process of establishing a non-profit
foundation, that many people wanted this sort of thing, the Board of
Directors had gone ahead with plans and they hoped of having something
ready by July 1st, 1970.

I'm somewhat confused. You wrote:

"therefore ECKANKAR INC. CHANGES FROM A CALIFORNIA BUSINESS ENTITY
INCORPORATED - CORPORATION With Paul Twitchell & Gail Twitchell as
Owners/Directors TO A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
OFFICIALLY on the 15th January 1969"

What did Eckankar change to in January 1969 compared to July 1970? Is
this talking about non-profit vs. religion?

I'm lost :)

[Etznab]

My bad. The WN suggested (my impression) that people were in the
process of establishing a non-profit foundation for Eckankar. So it
looked like something was "in the process". I can only guess - based
on the W.N. - that things hadn't been "all worked out" until July
1970, at least.

What was it about July 1970 anyhow? Patti Simpson's book had Paul
scheduled for a trip to Europe in August 1970. Paul was then
reportedly poisoned in Madrid, Spain.

How ironic, that shortly after July (I presume) Paul Twitchell would
suffer something like a poisoning and then die about a year later.

Under the Eckankar History section on official Eckankar site I saw not
much about the date when it became a non-profit and religion.

http://www.eckankar.org/history.html

You have to click on the Paul Twitchell link and then search all of
those pages for 1970.

http://www.eckankar.org/Masters/Peddar/index.html

Keyword search for 1970 on those links. On this one you hear about
poison.

http://www.eckankar.org/Masters/Peddar/writings.html

On this one is mentioned poisoned and nonprofit.

http://www.eckankar.org/Masters/Peddar/man.html

So that was about it for keyword 1970 linked to Eckankar History
section. Which is the correct order though? First "nonprofit" and then
"Paul Twitchell poisoned"?

[Etznab]

Not sure about the date when the Bluth's, etc., became jubilant about
Eckankar going nonprofit. Patti Simpson wrote about that in her book
and Doug included it in his. Something about "they pressured
him" (whatever).

There's a quote someplace on this link - and reference pages in TWT.

well the dissolution of eckankar inc in california; may be just the
chnage over to a INC in Nevada, ala the las vegas set up ..

i have seen any records about an INC in NV .. will double check
again ..

so, it is still possible that the non-profit org didn't start till
1970 .. all things being equal. but that's ok .. all will sort itself
out when its ready to.
i was wondering about the gap there myself
