GOLD BASE AERIAL PHOTO GALLERY
 

scientology protester mark bunkerIn September 2011 Scientology protester Mark Bunker got an aerial tour of Gold Base in a helicopter to gather material for the Scientology movie he is putting together at his website XenuTV.com  .  There are some interesting things to see on Google Earth of the property but nothing beats what Mark did, buzz the place and send the residents inside!  You'll notice there are very few people visible and not many cars.  Gold Base personnel are forbidden to own cars.  Maybe very few people live at Gold now, or maybe they are all just inside hiding which is standard procedure during protests and raids.  Bunker's trip can do nothing but make them even more paranoid!

"Bonnie Bell" is the huge mansion built for the return of cult founder L. Ron Hubbard, whenever that may be.  He seems to be taking his time coming back.

The massive and lush RTC Building is the office of cult leader David Miscavige.  He has punished so many subordinates that he is just about the only person in the building now.

Look closely at this blurry photo and you'll see one of the robotic cameras placed on the hillside to surveille the property below, especially the entrances.  Also called "the snipers nest."

The two white roofed buildings in the center of this photo is the "SP Hall". Here cultists who are being punished are kept locked up, perhaps for years at a time.
