G.O. agent named Sharon Thomas, volunteered to show Gabe the sights of
the city, which Gabe gladly accepted.
As they were driving through Rock Creek Park, Sharon, who was
driving, hit a pedestrian, who crumpled on the ground behind the car.
The "pedestrian" was G.O. agent Michael Meisner, who, of course, was not
seriously hurt. Sharon drove on without stopping to see if the
"pedestrian" had been hurt.
Somehow this event was "leaked" to the press, and made its ways into
the headlines in Clearwater, costing Cazares his election as a
congressional candidate.
The G.O. had also drawn up plans to have someone in Mexico forge a
document that Cazares had been married in Mexico twenty-five years
earlier, making his current marriage bigamous. This "operation" was
apparently never carried out.
The Guardian's Office did manage, however, to seriously disrupt
Cazares' political career, and to make life quite miserable for him and
for his wife for a number of years. Cazares' lawsuit against the church
was settled out of court in the mid-1980s.
The G.O. was involved at this same time in a complex series of plans
known as "Operation Goldmine," in which Scientology funds were to be
spent in "taking over" the town of Clearwater.
In one part of this plan, called "Power Project 3: Normandy," the
Major Target was given as:
To fully investigate the Clearwater city and county area so we can
distinguish our friends from our enemies and handle as needed.
Some of the steps in this plan were:
- Locate all local medical societies, clinics, hospitals, etc.
Gather the names of the main officials and directors of each. Fully
investigate each one and recommend handling.
- Locate all local intelligence agencies (e.g., police,
intelligence, FBI office, etc.). Gather the names of the heads of each.
Fully investigate each one. Recommend handling.
- Locate all local PR firms. Gather the names of the main
officials and directors of each. Fully investigate each one and
recommend handling.
- Locate all local drug firms. Gather the names of officials and
directors and fully investigate each. Recommend handling.
- For each government agency listed below do the following:
a. Locate the heads or senior officials in charge.
b. Investigate each one for enemy connections.
c. Compile a full report on each one with time track (a consecutive
history of their lives).
d. To each report add your recommended handling of the person, i.e.,
"ops" (operation), penetration, keep an eye on him, or he's a potential
ally, etc.
Do this in full for the following agencies:
- City Council
- City Health Department
- City Mental Hygiene Department
- City Building and Safety Department

- City Consumer Affairs Office
- City Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney
- County Commissioners

and directors of each, fully investigate and recommend handling.
- Locate all local psych groups (mental health groups, psychiatric
societies, clinics, hospitals, etc.) Gather the names of the officials
and directors of each, fully investigate and recommend handling.
- Locate all local finance institutions (banks, investment houses,
etc.) Gather the names of the heads of each, fully investigate and
recommend handling.
Another part of "Operation Goldmine," called "Power Project 4:
Tricycle" goes even further. The Major Target of Tricycle states:
To proof up ourselves against any potential threat by taking control
of the key points in the Clearwater area.
Any obstacle or opposition ... that arises must be removed to the
point of no further threat or barrier to obtaining the Major Target.
Some of the steps in this plan were:
- List out all news media and the heads or proprietors of news
media that are distributed or broadcast in the Clearwater area Work out
a way to gain control or allegiance of each. (Note: Control can mean
buying the media or controlling interest in it or it can mean holding a
powerful position with the media).
- Locate key political figures (ones who influence the area). Work
out a way to get control or allegiance of each.
- Locate the key financial influences in the community. Work out a
way to gain control or allegiance of each.
- Locate the people or groups peculiar to the Clearwater area
which exert the greatest control/influence in the area (possible
example: Board of Realtors). Work out a way to gain the control or
allegiance of each.
- Submit all plans to the G.O. for approval. Implement approved
handlings when received.
