Salve TV: Interview w/ Cathy O’Brien & Mark Phillips

Here is a letter written to Marion Schnieder from the Sister of Shaela Miller. Read and learn the truth

Dear Marion,

I watched the video that you made with Mark and Cathy Phillips and my sister Shaela Miller whom you were calling “Sheila” Miller. In fact, her legal full name is Michaela Alise Miller. I watched this with an ache in my heart….It saddens me to hear these words spoken by my beautiful older sister whom I always looked up to growing up.

I want to point out things about this interview that are in fact completely false. First, let’s start off with my side of the story. Shaela is my older sister, 6 years older to be exact. My family is a large family of 7 kids and 2 wonderful parents. By the time I was born my parents had already left the Mormon church. I knew about it growing up but we never lived by it.

My whole family growing up was extremely close. In the interview for some reason Mark claims that Shaela was the only one homeschooled and that the rest of us went to public school, THIS IS NOT TRUE! All of us were homeschooled. I have always been thankful that we were homeschooled. By the time I even went to public school I was 12 years old and by that age Shaela was already done with school and getting her General Education Diploma (GED) which is equivalent to a high school diploma. Because of my parents homeschooling me I was able to attend college at the age of 14. In the United States most people start college at 18. My parents wanted Shaela to go to college. They pushed for it knowing it was the right thing for her. She didn’t want to go though. She insisted that modeling was her path. My parents let her try it out, she was even part of a modeling agency in Portland, Oregon called Mode Models. Not only were my parents okay with it, but they drove her up to Portland, over 2 hours from where we lived at the time, many many times so she could go to photo shoots and try to succeed in her dream of modeling. They wanted her to succeed because all they wanted was for her to be happy and successful.

I have so many memories of Shaela and I and my younger sisters driving in her car to the movies and to the mall, always doing something fun. She claims that her eating was controlled by my Dad…This is NOT TRUE. I remember days we would bake together, she made us and herself pancakes all the time, we would bake cookies and chow them down just so we could start on the next batch. I cry as I write this because her mind has been messed with so much that she is convinced that her parents abused her.

Next she claimed that what she wore was controlled….This is so far from being right. She wore basically whatever she wanted, she had a closet of amazing clothes…I was jealous! Her hand me downs were something I looked forward to. In fact, when she went to live with Mark and Cathy she gave me most of her clothes because she said she had a new job and wanted new clothes for her new life. The only time I ever remember her having an argument about her clothing was when she wanted to wear something that was inappropriate and my mom wouldn’t let her.

Another important point is that Shaela and my dad were very close. She never ever called him Father and it sounds so strange to hear her say that in your video. He didn’t make her go to work with him. She loved going with him. We all did. Shaela would get mad at us if anyone wanted to go with our dad. She would pay us or bribe us to not go when it was our turn so that she could go instead. In no way was Shaela ever a slave. If anything she was very spoiled.

I remember the days when Shaela had stomach problems. Every day my parents worried, from doctor to chiropractor, naturopath doctors, acupuncture, sonograms, herbs and more, they did everything they could to help her. Shaela claims this was my Dad’s way of trying to “kill her”. This is just RIDICULOUS! Shaela, like my younger sisters, were born with extremely fast metabolisms, very thin and petite, they could eat a whole cake and not gain a single pound. That’s just it, she didn’t treat herself and her health well. It was her choice. When it was just us (Shaela, my younger sisters and me) we would go to Taco Bell or McDonalds. We would buy candy and eat it all in one sitting. A lot of the time we would even bring it home and eat while we watched TV together. We were kids, she was a teenager, we felt invincible so we ate whatever we wanted! My mom and dad would tell us all the time we needed to stop eating junk food.

I remember when my dad heard about Mark and Cathy. I wanted to read the books but they knew I was much too young too understand them or be able to handle it. My dad contacted Mark and Cathy because he wanted to get to know them and more of their story. He was interested purely because he wanted to know what was going on in our government and all of the lies out there. To say that it was all to get more control of Shaela just doesn’t make sense.

He told Shaela that he got in contact with them and she was excited about it. She thought it was really cool that he was talking to the people behind these books he had talked about. She decided to contact them and she became close to Cathy. When she met Cathy for the first time they were very close right away. Before then, they had talked on the phone a lot. Mark and Cathy asked Shaela to move in with them so that she could work for them. She decided that she would work for them. They told her that she would have a paycheck and housing. Soon after moving in she found out there was no paycheck, just room and board.

The last day in the airport with my family and her were full of tears, Shaela didn’t escape our family. She was going toward a new career that she thought would help make the world a better place. We were all happy for her and thought the same thing.

She was sad to be leaving us and we were sad to see her go. After about two months, Shaela came back to visit us for a few days. If she was trying to get away from her “abuser” why would she come back to visit and want to be with us? Sometime after she visited, our dad flew out to see her as well. Anyways….little did I know this would be the last time I would see my big sister. For a couple of years we would all talk to my sister, through phone calls and emails. My family would spend hours on the phone with her just wanting to know how she was. But she could never really say anything or tell us what she was doing because it was all “top secret”. Some time after my dad went to see her, she requested that all of her legal documents be sent to her, kind of creepy. At one point, Mark told Shaela that if my dad wanted to talk to her on the phone, he must first send an email explaining what he wanted to talk about and then set an appointment for the call, more creepy stuff. Eventually, she stopped talking to us. Her calls became shorter, more spread apart, then it just stopped. The last phone call my mom got from Shaela was Shaela telling my mom how much she loved her. All signs of her existence completely disappeared from the internet after about 2009. No more Facebook posts, no My Space, nothing. With everything being so “top secret” leaving us so in the dark, that was another cause for worry. It really looks like this was all a plan from the start.

We tried contacting her whatever way we could to see if she was okay, we were all worried. A couple months passed and we got an email from Shaela….not only claiming that she was abused by my dad, she even claimed that my mom was abused by him. This was the biggest shock my family has probably ever had. It was like someone stabbed us in the heart and that’s just what happened. She talked about memories I had about fights our family may have had, ones that weren’t that big of a deal but she twisted them into a horror scene from a movie. I just had to think to myself “how could she try to take memories, the SAME memories I had with her and turn them around COMPLETELY?” This proved to me right away that something was very very wrong. It became obvious immediately that she was being mind controlled. My whole family read her words in that email. We were all torn to shreds by the words she said because we knew they just weren’t true and it was proof of what we had suspected and, in fact, it left no more question. In her mind they seemed real though because these false memories were being placed there, pushing her away from us and cutting us off completely from her.

It has been 7 years now since I have seen Shaela. It had been probably about 3 years since I had even talked to her that I decided to email her a few months back. She didn’t respond for days and when she did I felt like whoever responded wasn’t my sister. Even hearing her voice in this interview, I never would have recognized her on the phone. I write this letter to you so you can know the truth and so you can know that Mark is not who he says he is. Mark has threatened our family that if we ever said anything negative about him or Cathy that he would come after us with his CIA contacts and sue us for slander. He even threatened us from “the grave”. I want to save her, I want to help her, and I hope that someday I will be able to do just that.

I hope my words have given you some insight as to the plight of our family and the fear we have about what is happening to my sister. If you recall in the video Mark mentions that he owns a mind control machine. He also is trained in CIA mind control, CIA hypnosis, NLP, etc. How does my sister stand a chance?

I contacted an NLP expert to watch Shaela in the video you made and got this:

From an NLP standpoint:
• Ridged body posture & near exact mirroring of Cathy.
• Her articulation of “events” seemed to originate from a majority of auditory recall, as if remembering what someone told her verses actual 3d memories.
• Her verbal articulation while responding to the interviewers questions is choppy, vague & incongruent. One example being that she often shifts unnaturally in & out of association even while answering the same question.
• She appears to be carefully in trance as does Cathy while Mark is talking.

We also found a bunch of stuff about Mark on the internet. It sounds like anytime Mark tells someone they were not abused, they actually were. It also sounds like anybody he calls an abuser is, in fact, not. That’s surely how it looks to me.

I would like to leave you with another thought. Why would a beautiful single 26 year old woman be living with two old people for 7 years? And why is it that Mark is so afraid of our family having contact with her?

I would like to have this posted with the video of the interview. Is that possible?

Thank you,
Sarah Miller
