Judging by all the UltraBarrier and high fences the compound is also a detention center and slave camp.  As in Stalin's government, the higher you go in Scientology the more likely you will be abused and scapegoated by leader David Miscavige, possibly ending up in a gulag like this.  Perhaps Miscavige's wife Shelly and former spokesman Heber Jentzsch are, or were, held here against their will.  The large number of visible light floodlights, infrared beams, motion sensors, cameras and motorbike mounted guards make escape nearly impossible even without the seven foot tall fence studded with razor spikes.

Local police say they are on very good terms with residents at the compound although officers believe there are very few people there. It is difficult to say. When protesters raid such places they go on lockdown. The day I was there we arrived too quickly for a lockdown to happen and heard no alarms, yet we saw only 4-5 people. All the buildings had shades drawn down already. What is going on inside? Are they empty? Are they jammed with prisoners? There is no way to tell.

Twin Peaks is just west of the resort town of Lake Arrowhead and East of Crestline. The current town population is estimated at around 1,500. Twin Peaks sits at an elevation of 5,800 feet and is accessible by California State Route 189.  I have already been permabanned from the local town website RimOfTheWorld.net.  The city of San Francisco also has a nearby small mountain called "Twin Peaks." This is not that mountain. That mountain would be a nice place to vacation, unlike here.  In fact, I would even feel safer in David Lynch's version.

Ex-Scientologist Chuck Beatty on Twin Peaks Raids and the Church of Spiritual Technology You have no idea the ramifications of this. Jane McNairn and Arthur Bolstad minimally are going to have to do lower conditions, and likely Jane is headed for the RPF.  The two people who are superior to the CST folks, in the CST folks' minds, are David Miscavige and Norman Starkey.  If you talk about DM and Starkey to Jane McNairn or to whichever CST folks you speak to, that will also wilt their ears and cause them all sorts of internal mental consternation.  This protest is like NOTHING that has EVER happened in CST history and, in their heads, is a complete bursting of their bubble world. God, if you speak out MORE and share this CST stuff with local officials, and with scientologists at LA when you demonstrate there, believe me, CST is a HOT HOT HOT item in Miscavige's and Norman Starkey's minds. They at CST are a highly privileged top level niche group in the whole hierarchy. No power, but they are super elitist, sort of dead in the head, since their role is just to preserve LRH's tech in their network of underground vaults. They sometimes do special research for DM and for Gold Base production lines.
