Wow! Great series. I remember Klaus from my time at the HGB. I don’t know him at all and i figured he was just a mid level administrator. He was always friendly and he would always say hello to each other. It’s amazing finding out how intense a job he had.

Such an incredibly heartbreaking story. Thank you for speaking out Peter! Every voice adds to the conversation and the movement.

Peter Reichelt's loyalty to Hubbard was his downfall. That and maintaining a sense of right and wrong that was the straw that broke the Camels back. I think he just burned out and needed a change. I just can't understand why so many loyal minions accept and practice disconnection. If someone told me I couldn't keep in contact with any friend or family member, I'd kick their ass. Peter has given enough information as to the location of any paperwork that law enforcement might need for any reason. Hint, Hint, say no more, Bobs your uncle.

Thank you Peter, your joining of the ranks of the Exs brings you to a place where pretty much everyone who ever practiced $cientology ends up.

Wait, it just ends like that????

First, thank you Peter for continuing to be willing to report on CoS.

Second, thank you Klaus for opening up to a reporter and setting yourself up for more attacks. I hope one day your daughter Jasmin or grandchild Kai break the cycle and reconnect with you.

Third, what happened to Edith?

I could have kept reading. What a malicious cult!!! I still can't wrap my head around how people can join and stay in for so long. That's just me. I'm a rebel. I think it's sad families are broken up, by their own choice too--to choose a non-religious cult over their parents and siblings.

Love the interview. Thanks.

NOTE:

".....So if the FBI wants to successfully conduct a police raid, then the twelfth floor of the HGB is the right place to confiscate the secret files of all the dirty tricks missions carried out......"

It reminds me, that Mike Rinder has said that next to Linda Hamel, another person who knows practically everything, is Kathy O'Gorman.

Linda and Kathy, if only the authorities had something to lure both or either of them to cooperate with the FBI, or somehow if there is a way to get either or both of these women to cooperate with authorities in other countries, where OSA has overseen and knows of felonies which other countries would be interested to investigate.

This is truly the best news in years, for Klaus Buchele to be interviewed.

This is all new news, very important history news to listen to.

Incredible job Peter Reichelt, just huge new news to report on Klaus' history telling.

I hope the EU countries governments who investigate anything to do with Scientology, learn how to contact, and they do contact, Klaus Buchele for Klaus' opinions on things relating to Scientology.

I hope Klaus gets a book deal from some EU publisher, and tells his story.

Klaus' book would be so important for documenting Scientology's OSA history.

I'd buy any EU ex staff member's books, the EU Scientologists have such insight into things.

I'd buy anything Klaus wrote, and I hope he gets a book deal! Or if some writer wishes to help Klaus, and someone familiar with Scientology history, helps co-author a book with Klaus, this is a huge opportunity.
