Hi Neville,

I didn't clean the B707's gold plated toilet. I cleaned Rawat's old-fashioned porcelain potty that was in his office at the DECA complex in Hialeah, Florida, along with the sink, the rest of his bathroom, and his offices, etc.  Before that, in the smaller Hialeah warehouse, someone else cleaned his toilet.  That "honor" was passed along to me when we moved. 

Assigning me to do that job was based on simple logistics, privacy, and security decisions, because Rawat's suite of offices was situated right off of the Design Room where I worked and I was trusted by Rawat's personal security team, the DECA security team, and DECA directors Jim Hession and Guy Rollins.  

The gold plated potty went on the jet and I have no knowledge of who cleaned that because I was living in Gainesville, Florida by the time that golden globe took off with it's perfect master. 

The fact that so many DECA premies became ill on a long-term basis is also ample evidence there were no OSHA inspections or workers compensation insurance there.  The fact that I give my word is ample proof this was the situation and I'm willing to swear to it in a court of law or in a deposition, on penalty of perjury, if anyone wants to go head to head on this.  Joe, Bill, and many others also have knowledge about the lack of workers' compensation insurance and no OSHA presence at DECA -- that also goes for any satellite locations such as the hangar that housed the B707 at Miami International Airport.

Ahhh...the smell of toxic chemicals in the morning, noon and night...  Memories of premie slave labor...

Once many ashram premies, like myself, got sick and couldn't work at DECA anymore, we were sent to community ashrams to live and recuperate at the local ashram's expense. Ashram funds flowed out to Maharaji personally, his DECA project, and DLM, not the other way around.  I never got any worker's compensation claim money, nor did my ashram on my behalf, nor did any other DECA premies/exes with whom I've been in contact.

Having said that, I'm more than willing to contact former DECA premies who got sick, if Prem Rawat is interested in reimbursing us financially for all of our lost wages, work lost due to illness, and our healthcare costs incurred over the years due to illness and/or injury at DECA in Hialeah, Florida.  Just say the word, I'll start the process today.   I'm not joking in the least about this, either.  This is a deadly serious matter.
