Part of the Base borders U.S. Department Of Defense property. Gold Base produces the , Issue 995. March 9, 2006. Pages 55 - 67. 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://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. 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 .

Although critics hold the provision is unconstitutional, it has not been challenged in recent years. Henson picketed the secretive and heavily-armed {Link without Title} 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 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 irony, when Stacy Moxon Meyer was dying underground in the electrical vault, picketers aboveground 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. {Link without Title} NOTES EXTERNAL LINKS
