Well this night when we got pulled in, Mark Yager had decided that he wasn't going to take it anymore, he had dragged his mattress out of his room, halfway across the property, and put it in basically just a field of dirt and decided he was going to sleep there. Dave walks by his room that night, he saw that he was gone and the mattress was gone, and then that's when he ordered "Okay, somebody go find Mark Yager and call everybody back in". After he explained this whole thing to us, he said that it was our fault that Mark Yager wouldn't sleep in the room he was assigned and that we were all going overboard.

And a hundred people were thrown, because we couldn't go into the lake anymore, we thrown
into this swimming pool that's at the property, it's called the Star of California. It's like a ship that's
built into the hill and has a huge swimming pool. We all, one by one, had to just walk off the diving
board into the pool, like walking the plank. Those are the kind of things, like being woken at 4 am,
being dragged in, being thrown into the pool, and then being told "You guys are useless and you
can't get anything right" and then ... “Go home”. Incidents like that were regular occurrences at the
Int Base.

DO: It's sick, but worse, that it's being done by a church that says they're a religion, that gets tax-exempt status. That presents themselves as the alternative to psychiatry, that they are going to help us all and all of mankind. You're right, this is really sick.

MH: There's a story on the internet, if you Google “musical chairs int base” there's a tear-jerking story of something that Dave put several hundred staff through, threatening to split them up from their spouses. It's too long of a story to tell right now but somebody did write it up and it is on the internet. It's insane, but even during that time people were made, as punishment, to sleep under their desks for weeks on end until certain achievements or milestones were met.

Until those were met, you went to sleep under your desk, then you got up in the morning, you went
to take a shower in the garage of the estate facility there, and you never went home. And if your
wife was in a different area of the church, then you didn't see her, because you were sleeping under
your desk and that's just the way it was. Sometimes he would even forget that he had ordered people
that they were restricted to the property and couldn't go home. And months later someone would
say "Well, I'm not going home anyway" and he would go "Why not?" and it'd be like "Sir, we've
been restricted to the base for three months now". And he would be like "Oh. That was only meant for a day or two", and this is like four months later.
