The '''Gold Base''' is a 500 acre parcel and the headquarters of [[Golden Era Productions]], the media division of the [[Church of Scientology]], located at 19625 [[California State Route 79|Highway 79]], [[Gilman Hot Springs, California]] 92583, near [[Hemet, California|Hemet]]. Part of the Base borders [[U.S. Department of Defense]] property.
==About the Base==
Zeile 6:
The Gold Base is also referred to as the "Int Base".
While the Gold Base is purportedly an administrative and security headquarters for a religious organization, [http://www.keithhenson.org/unfair.htm] [http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=15199] the walls around this base have an inwardly directed "ultra-barrier" made up of sheetmetal knife-like projections. There has been much speculation about this, since the function of inwardly-directed barriers is to keep people in, rather than keeping people out. There are also motion sensors every several feet and mounted video surveillance cameras. Former Scientology security officer [[Andre Tabayoyon]] has testified in court that the Gold Base is illegally stockpiling weapons and ammunition. [http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/cos/mpoulter/worst/andre2.html] His wife also swore in her affidavit that Sea Org women were forced to have abortions against their will [http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/cos/mpoulter/worst/abortion.html].
Currently, most base personnel live in Hemet at the Vista Gardens Apartments or the Kirby Apartments and commute by base-owned bus.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Rebecca Perry | title = Scientology's inland empire | journal = Los Angeles Times | date = December 17, 2005 | url = http://www.latimes.com/media/acrobat/2005-12/21006726.pdf | format = [[PDF]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | author = Staff | title = After spending half of her life in Scientology, she found truth & freedom in Jesus Christ | journal = Baptist Press | date = August 16, 2005 | url = http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?id=21407 }}</ref>
[[Arnaldo Lerma]] has published lists of names of all Gold Base staff, and it has been the subject of speculation why 70 percent of them are women. [http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=15199]
Scientology also maintains the [[Trementina Base]] in [[New Mexico]], with similar bases located in [[Petrolia, California]], [[Crestline, California]]. [http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/trementina-vault3.htm],

Zeile 23 ⟶ 27:
Gold Base also has recreational facilities, including a running track, basketball, volleyball, and soccer facilities, an exercise building, a waterslide, a small lake with a training ship (the "Laissez-Faire"), two beaches, and a golf course. [http://alley.ethercat.com/cgi-bin/xint/xint.cgi?2]
==Picketing at Gold Base==
There is a prohibition on [[picketing]] Gold Base stemming from activist [[Keith Henson]]'s picketing in 2000. Although critics hold the provision is unconstitutional, it has not been challenged in recent years. Henson picketed the secretive and heavily-armed [http://lermanet.com/cos/andres.html] Gold Base compound over the unusual deaths of a Scientologist, Stacy Moxon Meyer, and a non-Scientologist, Ashlee Shaner.
Meyer, the daughter of Scientology attorney [[Moxon & Kobrin|Kendrick Moxon]], adverse counsel in many lawsuits involving Henson, died in a bizarre and gruesome accident in an underground electrical vault at the Gold Base. In a horrific coincidence, when Stacy Moxon Meyer was dying underground in the electrical vault, picketers above ground were protesting the previous death of Ashlee Shaner in a ghastly decapitation which occurred at the Gold Base when Scientology was moving construction equipment on the highway at night without lights and in the wrong lane.[http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/shanner-nove.htm]
