New batch of Epstein files unmasks a 1970s Scientology spy — and he talked to us!
Anyway, in 2017, Krassner received an email from a California man named Paul Daley, who works to develop new psychedelics today but in a former life had been a Scientologist and member of Scientology’s legendary 1970s intelligence corps, the Guardian’s Office…
We met in roughly 1975 when you were living in San Francisco… I wanted to tell you that at the time we met I was an undercover investigator working for the Church of Scientology’s Guardians’ Office, who were going quite insane trying to figure out who wrote “The Awful Truth About Scientology” in the Realist. I failed to get that from you, but we did smoke a joint together, and that was happily the start of my gradual exit from the Church. Drove them crazy. Long story.
…Anyhow, embarrassed as I am about the circumstances of our meeting back then, I was able to leave that outfit in the nick of time. Running a medicinal Cannabis lab now…and I’m the resident chemist at Sasha [inventor of Ecstasy] Shulgin’s lab.
Long. Strange. Trip.
Best wishes,
Paul F Daley, PhD
“I haven’t really discussed this part of my life in the last 50 years,” he told us, and said that so far he’s heard from three other friends about showing up in the Epstein files.
Daley said he had become involved in Scientology while he was finishing up his undergraduate degree in entomology at UC Davis in 1974. “Davis was a hotbed for Scientology in that era.” And that he had been approached by officers at the Davis Org because they were looking for someone “unreasonable” to do some work for the Guardian’s Office.
At the time, 1974, the Guardian’s Office was kicking its massive Snow White Program into gear, the largest domestic infiltration of the US government in history, as operatives were sent into US agencies looking to find what kind of dirt the government had on Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

Paul Freeman Daley, B.S., M.S., Ph.D.
FounderDr. Daley is a scientist with a broad background in environmental sciences, chemistry, and plant physiology. His university degrees in Environmental Toxicology and Entomology were granted from the University of California Davis and Berkeley campuses. He has over sixty publications in integrated pest management, plant photosynthesis, environmental chemistry, analytical instrumentation, and the pharmacology of psychedelics. He has presented research findings on four continents in English, Spanish, and French.
Following his university work, focused on the environmental physiology of plant-insect interactions, Dr. Daley held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Université Laval in Québec, Canada, where he developed novel methods for measuring plant photosynthesis at the canopy level. He continued this work as a post doc, then as a career scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California from 1984 to 2014. His initial work ranged from analysis of vegetation responses to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide, visualization of in vivo photosynthesis via quantitative chlorophyll fluorescence imaging for detection of plant stress and disease, to development of fiber-optic chemical sensors for environmental pollutants. He also engineeried unattended pollution monitoring systems for the Army, and performed bioremediation analysis through measurement of stable isotopes and radiocarbon in soil gases for the US Navy. Dr. Daley developed a real-time interfacing system to couple between liquid chromatographs and large-scale accelerator mass spectrometers for radiocarbon detection for pharmaceutical applications. This latter work was supported by the National Institute of Health and patented in 2012. He has participated on SBIR grant review panels for the Department of Energy (environmental monitoring and remediation) and the Environmental Protection Agency (environmental impacts of nanomaterials).
Dr. Daley worked with Dr. Shulgin from 2007 until Sasha’s passing in 2014, restoring the Shulgin Laboratory, extending Shulgin’s work on psychoactive tryptamines, and co-authoring The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds, published by Transform Press in 2011. He is Co-Founder, Chief Science Officer, and Chemist at the Alexander Shulgin Research Institute in Lafayette, CA, where his work focuses on the chemistry and analysis of psychostimulant and psychedelic drugs.
Are the Epstein Files being kept hidden because of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Scientology connections?
