The church tried to persuade station [[KRQE]] not to air its report last week about the aerial signposts marking a Scientology compound that includes a huge vault "built into a mountainside," the station said on its Website. ...

Reportedly, two similar bases maintained by the Church of Spiritual Technology are located in [[Petrolia, California]] (40°23'15.55"N 124°18'19.05"W), and [[Creston, California]] (35°27'12.29"N 120°29'59.20"W), both for archiving permanent backups of Hubbard's every written and spoken word. [[Internal Revenue Service]] records show that Scientologists spent $13 million in 1992 to preserve Hubbard's fiction and non-fiction writings on 1.8 million stainless steel discs, and recorded his lectures on 187,000 nickel records. The Church of Spiritual Technology symbol also appears at the Petrolia location and in the middle of a track at the ranch in [[Creston, California]] where L. Ron Hubbard died.[http://www.lermanet.com/CST/ "Scientology's CST - Church of Spiritual Technology"]. Retrieved July 5, 2012. |
