	CHRONOLOGY: Gerry Armstrong1
1 May 82	Flynn says he spent 2½ hrs with Armstrong. There was a 50-50 chance Gerry would come down to the CW Hearings. (he didn’t). He (Flynn) said Gerry was really paranoid and afraid he would be murdered if he came to CW.
25 May	Gerry says he is now working in a law office as a researcher He’s not enthused over it. Also claimed some LRH photos were stolen – says he’s mad as they were personal and worth a lot of money. Assumes they were stolen by the Church.

Says Gerry has docs that show the Church has $250 million in cash in banks and $35 million in one bank alone.

Expressed remorse that things came out the way they did – since he has friends in Scn. He expressed bitterness with the “organization”.

There will be a big meeting in LA and data about LRH will be made known (that he had operations and was on drugs) supposedly.

In my book he put the RPF here and when I stepped in to take over from him there was already a smooth running operation that was aligned with LRH’s intention for the RPF. Gerry is one of the most honest individuals I have met and was an inspiration to me as a senior. I learned a lot from him and would not have been able to be an effective RPF Bosun without the hatting and experience I received under him. He is an example the rest of the RPF can be proud of and is a Sea Org Member in the true sense of the term. He goes with my full back-up and best postulates. He’ll be a tremendous asset to whatever unit is lucky enough to have him.”

	[CT 6273]

18 Feb 82	SP declare on GA for blowing and spreading destructive rumors about senior Scientologists.
23 Feb 82	Report from AGI GLA – “My conjecture on what happened (with Gerry) is that he must have run into some SP(s) while doing his research on the LRH BIO. Apparently he interviewed about 80 people who all knew LRH, and ran into a lot of old timers, many of whom are off lines for years. It could be that he ran into a lot of entheta from an SP or two which served as the straw on the camel’s back. Per the C/S who reviewed his folder after his blow, he was unflat on OT 3 for about a year, and that entheta might have triggered something. Per his folder, he made good case gain.
24 Feb 82	Report from a person in comm with Laurel Sullivan. Says after working with GA, Laurel has been exposed to data by Gerry on R which enturbulated her. GA has been in touch with her. Laurel has made it clear to him that she does not want to have any entheta on her lines.

26 Feb 82	Report from Finance US on GA financial data. No definite crimes were found, but some outpoints came up. Suit bag, sweater, tie, attache case – total 121.55. Were these legit?

	[CT 6274]
31 Mar 82	GA has changed from thin to gaunt. All he eats is a half pound of rice a day. He’s acting type III. GA says he wants to write a book which will be a thinly veiled science fiction parody of Scn and LRH. It will be about a writer who starts a cult. Says if you meditate God will talk to you. The voice he heard told him he ought to walk across the country and carry on his back all the food he could eat for the whole trip. Then he could write a book about his experiences. (He was encouraged). GA is still in comm with Omar. Per GA Omar is upset with the Church and wants to get the book back from the Church so that he can publish it himself – hopefully with a larger and more reputable publisher. His ARC X with the Church is that he is not able to put the “truth” about LRH in the book. GA says he’s in comm with Ron Strauss and others. He’s been saying all pl doesn’t work, drugs and LSD are OK, est works. Says LRH is paranoid and ill. Say’s he’s been popping pills and is quite misemotional. Says LRH is being manipulated by these around him. Wife Joyce, agrees with GA but is less intense. GA is in comm with Nibs personally and Barbara DeCelle.
1 Apr 82	Letter from GA to Dick Sullivan. Says he heard a rumor that someone out his way (SU) embezzled a lot of cash so the rest of the crew had their hands cut off.

14 Apr 82	Rpt from Vaughn clarifying earlier report on GA’s finances. Vaughn says he saw him balance his books before leaving. Review of GA’s books showed them to be in order but discrepancies were found. During a trip through the mid-west he was traveling by himself for a couple of weeks, but suddenly another person joins him and there are then receipts for this other person. Couldn’t find $10-20 worth of book receipts. $10 of receipts were made out to others who we did not know. GA put on some receipts that he was “representing OVG – author” which is a misrepresentation. Vaughn’s theory is that GA and Omar have homosexual relationship.
