BY MR. DENIS DE VLAMING:

Q Is because this whole scenario was practiced
before it happened?

A No. Actually the reason why they didn’t say
anything to me is it is part of Scientology belief that
if somebody is injured you don’t say anything to them
because that would be a recording that would be entered
into a person’s reactive mind. So they were just being
very quiet because of that situation.

Q Even to the point of saying do you want me to
call 911, they don’t even say that?

A There was no reason to.

Q There was no reason to call 911?

A Why would they ask me to call 911 when they
know there is Philip there, who is with security, and
other security members who are trained to handle these
situations.

Q Were you knocked out?

A No, I wasn’t unconscious, no.

Q Do you recall on Crock’s video that when it
first starts out you see you open your eyes, look up at
the camera and then shut your eyes again? Did you see
that, Mr. Howd?

A I was blinking. I had blood in my left eye.
