Talk:Pat Broeker

There is quite a bit of detailed content in several books about the power struggle right after Hubbard's death (the Miscavige coup). I removed a paragraph that was awkward—some of the material had already been covered above, some was not quite right, uh... but I understand where the editor was trying to go with it. Miscavige's takeover is poorly covered in Wikipedia (even in other wiki articles) with just a few bits here and there. Among other actions, Miscavige "third partied" Broeker to everyone, got him off site to Washington, then sent a crew to the ranch to obtain (steal) Broeker's/Hubbard's filing cabinets.

Information related to Broeker and the Miscavige coup can be found in Atack, Lamont, Miller and Wright which are all available online at OpenLibrary.org.^[1][2][3][4]

It is also well covered in Reitman, Chapter 8 Power Is Assumed.^[5] Miller mentions that it was Hubbard+Broeker who did the corporate restructuring, pages 364-366.^[3] There is also information in Lamont about the creation of RTC.^{[2]: 95–97} One should also check Rinder and Urban (if I still had those library books at hand, I would).^[6][7]

This article should also cover what happened to both Broekers after the coup (RPF for both of them, I think; Annie stayed in Scientology; Pat left). There is no separate wiki article for Annie, so her role during this period should also be covered, although we could omit her early Scientology history.
