[Spaceship-like entrance to Scientology’s northern California underground vault]
We’re always encouraged when an Underground Bunker reader takes a deep dive into Scientology’s arcane depths, and this time a reader has come forward with some eye-opening research on Scientology’s most secretive branch, the Church of Spiritual Technology, which operates vaults for storing Hubbard’s writings and lectures in order to last for thousands of years, and also operates the compound where we believe Shelly Miscavige is being kept out of sight. Today, part two: CST’s property holdings.
The last official report of the Church of Spiritual Technology’s wealth came from IRS documents filed in 2012 showing a book value of $447 million. While its overall wealth is no longer officially reported because of changes to its profit reporting practices, the current value of its properties in the United States and the United Kingdom alone is now estimated to have a tax assessed value of at least $78.5 million. Its property footprint grows almost every year.
We group these properties in three segments: the vaults, the Heritage Properties and “Under-the-Radar” properties.
The vaults
Scientology’s four underground vaults include three facilities in California and one in New Mexico. A former CST official reported these sites were originally modeled after the Granite Mountain Records Vault in Utah, built in 1965 by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These sites are secret to Scientologists themselves and have long been reported to hold the teachings of L Ron Hubbard on etched steel plates kept inside titanium boxes.
1. The vault at CST headquarters in Twin Peaks, California
This is the location where the actual work CST does archiving Hubbard’s works on media designed to last thousands of years. There is also a vault on this property. In 2016, the Underground Bunker first featured drone video of the facility, and locations in it were identified with the help of former CST employee Dylan Gill.
2. The vault at the Lady Washington Mine in Tuolumne, California
This vault was built into an existing underground mine in the California gold country. Very little is ever reported about it, but the Bunker also got a drone flyover it for the first time in 2016.
