by Steven A. Fishman SCIENTOLOGY -- L. RON HUBBARD'S INCORRIGIBLE BRAINCHILD March 1, 1993, Filed with Clerk U.S. District Court April 4, 1993 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL, a California non-profit religion organization, Plaintiff, vs. STEVEN FISHMAN AND UWE GEERTZ, Defendants. Case No. CV 91 6426 HLH (Tx) DECLARATION OF STEVEN A. FISHMAN FILED IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS STEVEN FISHMAN AND UWE GEERTZ'S JOINT NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTIONS TO (1) RECONSIDER THE COURT'S MARCH 22, 1993 CHANGE OF VENUE ORDER; AND (3) FOR EXERCISE OF THE COURT'S INHERENT EQUITABLE POWERS CONNECTION WITH THE COURT'S MARCH 22, 1993 CHANGE OF VENUE. DECLARATION OF STEVEN FISHMAN 2. I am a Defendant in the case of Church of Scientology v. Steven Fishman and Uwe W. Geertz. I am currently serving a five year sentence for mail fraud and I am under the direct custody of the Bureau of Prisons. I am currently housed in Dismas House, a "half-way house" run by the Bureau of Prisons, and under the direct supervision of the Community Corrections Manager of the Southern District of Florida. My release date from incarceration is June 28, 1993. 3. I am prohibited from leaving the Southern District of Florida during my incarceration. After my period of incarceration, I will be under the supervision of the United States Parole Commission, from June 29, 1993 until November 28, 1993, and I am prohibited from leaving the Southern District of Florida. After my period of Parole, I will be under the supervision of the United States Probation Office, from November 29, 1993 until November 28, 1995, and I am prohibited from leaving the Southern District of Florida, without permission of the United States Probation Office or as ordered by the Court. 4. Due to the period of incarceration, parole and supervised release, it is very difficult if not impossible for me to conduct discovery and/or prepare for trial which is tentatively scheduled to occur in the summer of 1993. The trial is scheduled to take place in the Central District of California. 5. This very Court in this very action declared me indigent pursuant to a Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis signed by the honorable Judge Harry L. Hupp on May 28, 1992. 6. My financial condition is still indigent. I am employed as a receptionist and data entry clerk at the wage of $ 5.00 per hour. My gross pay is $ 200.00 per week, as I work a forty hour week. My net pay after deductions is $ 164.00 per week. Out of that check I pay $ 50.00 in subsistence payments to the Dismas House, and I make child support payments of $ 41.00 per week to my ex-wife, Jaime Lee Nureyev, in order to help support my two minor children. I further make a monthly non-committed fine payment of $ 25.00 to the Debt Collection Unit of the Northern District of California and I contribute $ 20.00 per week to the support of My father, Jack Fishman, who is also destitute and has been adjudicated bankrupt by the Southern District of Florida, and is living only on his social security chock. I wish the Court to know that I am indigent and destitute and besides not being able to afford the cost of bringing witnesses to testify at trial in the Central District of Cdlifornia I cannot afford even a plane ticket or money for a hotel room to come out there for the trial myself. 7. I cannot afford nor have I been able to afford to conduct discovery in this case, nor to issue subpoenas, hire court reporters etc., in the Central District of California, a jurisdiction which is convenient for the Plaintiff but not for myself as a Defendant in this case. 8. Although my ability to conduct discovery in either jurisdiction is impossible due to my financial circumstances I ask the Court to recognize my right to attend my own trial as the Defendant, which would be impossible in California unless my traveling and hotel expenses were paid for by the Plaintiff or my co-Defendant, and I do not wish to be a burden upon either of them. If the case were transferred to the Southern District of Florida under 28 U.S.C. 1404(m), I would be able to attend my trial as the Defendant in this case since no travel or hotel expenses are involved. 9. I do not expect my financial situation to change in the foreseeable future. I also still personally owe in excess of $ 10,000 in credit card debt, some of which I used to purchase books and tapes from Bridge Publications Inc., the publishing house of the Church of Scientology, while I was still brainwashed and under the mind control of the Scientology cult. 10. I have been ordered by Counselor Roxana Boyco and Director Tammy Jodway of Dismas House, as well as Mr. Conrad Lopez of the Bureau of Prisons to begin my required Mental Health Aftercare at the Henderson Clinic South, a psychiatric out-patient treatment center in Hollywood, Florida. My treatment begins on March 9, 1993, and may require psychotropic medication, according to Ruth Watkins at the clinic. I may not be reemitted by my treating psychiatrist to discontinue treatment during the period of time required for my trial appearance in California, even if the Court were to order the Bureau of Prisons to allow me to appear in California, and even if any expenses were to be paid for by either the Plaintiff or Defendant Geertz, which is not likely-or customary. I will need to call Margery Wakefield as a witness. Margery Wakefield is a Florida resident. As an ex-member of Scientology, and as a victim of abuse while a member of the cult, she will be called upon to testify as to the illegal and criminal practices Of the Church of scientology, as well as information regarding the Church's policies on suicides, murder and the Church policy known as "changing history". I cannot afford to bring Margery Wakefield as a witness to California. Margery wakefield told me that she is also indigent and destitute but has indicated that she would appear as a witness if the case were brought to trial in the Southern District of Florida. She is a key witness in my defense. 12. Dr. Ron Johnson is a doctor of veterinary medicine and a resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I wish to be able to call him to trial in order to testify regarding my membership in the Church of Scientology in the year 1981, a fact strongly disputed by the Church in their attempt to cover up their involvement in the crimes for which I am charged in the criminal case. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 13. Dr. Ron Neuhring is a psychologist from Miami, Florida. He was my Fishman's treating psychologist when I was first arrested at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a Federal prison facility. Dr. Neuhring will be called to testify regarding my mental state at the time of my arrest, as well as statements which I made to him regarding my involvement with the Church of Scientology. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 14. Special Agent Angelo Troncoso of the Internal Revenue Service is a resident of the Tampa, Florida area. I will call him to testify to his knowledge of the criminal investigation being conducted by the internal Revenue Service into the Church of Scientology, and to the extent of knowledge and details supplied to him by myself, establishing to the Court his understanding of my familiarity with upper-level Church management decisions and business. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 15. Special Agent Terry R. Kroggel is a Certified Public Accountant with the Internal Revenue Service and a resident of the St. Petersburg, Florida area. I will call him to testify to my knowledge of the civil investigation being conducted by the Internal Revenue Service into the Church of Scientology, and to the extent of familiarity with details supplied to him by myself, establishing my the his understanding of my knowledge of upper-level Church management decisions and business. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 16. Detective Dennis Angelo is an investigator with the Clearwater Police Department, and is a resident of the Clearwater, Florida area. I will call him to testify to his knowledge of the civil investigation being conducted by the Clearwater Police Department into the Church of Scientology, and to the extent of familiarity with details supplied to him by myself, establishing my knowledge of upper-level Church management decisions and business. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 17. Dr. Enyin Aksu is a psychiatrist who is a resident of Broward County Florida. Dr. Aksu was my treating physician at the time when I was an in-patient at the Hollywood pavilion psychiatric facility in Hollywood, Florida, from February 13, 1989 until march 20, 1989. Dr. Aksu will be called to testify regarding my mental state at the time of my involuntary commitment in the mental hospital, as well as statements made to him by myself Fishman regarding my involvement with this Church of Scientology. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 18. I will also need to call certain hostile witnesses who are staff members of the Church of Scientology, including but not limited to Mr. Frank Thompson, Mr. Ray Jourdain, Mr. Humberto Fontana, Ms. Beverly Flahan, Mr. Luis Gonzales, Mr. Charles Fox, Mr. Mark Witt, Mr. Michael Hambrick, Mr. Peter Letterese, Mrs. Barbara Fawcett Letterese, Ms. Denise Franklin Monco Mancha Ms. Fran Hardy Andrews, Ms. Barbara Koster, Ms,. Leona Littler Grimm, Ms. Celia Alvarez, Mr. Tom Staley, Ma. Karen Staley, Ms, Shirley Hambrick, Ms. Leah Abady, Ms. Colette Atzel, Mr. Jamie Gurlaccio, Mr. Bob Levy, Mr. Doug Carr, Mr. Roberto Naya, Ms. Nancy Witkowski, Mr. Paul Dibble, Ms. Linda Miller, Ms. Vicki Kirkland, Mr. Roggie Monce, and others who are residents of either Dade or Broward County, Florida. These witnesses will be called upon to testify regarding the physical abuse and hypnosis performed upon myself, as well as Church policies regarding these practices. Some will be asked to testify regarding the Church policy regarding suicide and murder, as well as specific orders directing me to assassinate Dr. Geertz and to have me Defendant commit suicide under the auspices of an "End of Cycle" order. Others will be asked to testify regarding the Church's involvement and direction in ordering me to commit securities class action fraud in a Church operation known an Operation Acting Classes, for which I was arrested and plead guilty in an Alford Plea (of innocent but responsible for the acts alleged), and other criminal acts which I was directed to commit on behalf of the cult, including the Ethics Bait Project and Bingoing. I cannot afford to bring any of these or other similarly situated witnesses to California for the trial, as they are nearly all residents of the Southern District of Florida, with the exception of Denise Franklin Monce Macha, who may be residing in Clearwater, Florida to the best of my recollection. 19. I will also need to call Mrs. Dorli Geertz to testify Regarding psychological tests which she administered on me over the Years between 1979-1990 which will establish my deteriorating state of mind during the time I was a devotee to and member of the Scientology cult. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 20. Dr. Daniel M. Lipshutz, M.D. is a resident of Singer Island, Florida, and is my uncle. He is a retired psychiatrist formerly licensed to practice psychiatry in New York. He has been familiar with my psychiatric history during my entire lifetime arid will be called to testify about how the Scientology cult had adversely affected my thinking, belief system and my mental condition. I cannot afford to bring this witness to California in order to testify. 21. Mr. Samuel J. Kern, is a resident of Plantation, Florida, and is also my uncle. He is a retired trial attorney from Brooklyn New York, and although cannot represent me an counsel in this case because he is not admitted to the bar in Florida, he will assist me and act as my personal representative if the trial were conducted in Florida. I cannot afford to bring my uncle to California in order for him to assist me in the preparation of my defense as my personal representative. 22. Consequently, and in the interest of justice, I plead with the Court to transfer the venue to the Southern District of Florida pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 1404(a). I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Florida that the above is true and correct to the best of my recollection and understanding. Executed March 1, 1993 at Dania, Florida.

Bowles or Robert A. Wiener By Federal Express: Judith
Tishkoff or Graham Berry (signed Steven Fishman) Exhibit B: On control and lying ON CONTROL AND LYING THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them. When you find an individual is lying to you, you know that the individual is trying to control you. One way or another this individual is trying to control you. That is the mechanism of control. This individual is lying to you because he is trying to control you - because if they give you enough misinformation they will pull you down the tone scale so that they can control you. Conversely, if you see an impulse on the part of a human being to control you, you know very well that that human being is lying to you. Not "is going to", but "is" lying to you. [last sentence is underlined in original] Check these facts, you will find they are always true. That person who is trying to control you is lying to you. He's got to tell you lies in order to continue control, because the second you start telling anybody close to the truth, you start releasing him and he gets tougher and tougher to control. So, you can't control somebody without telling them a bunch of lies. You will find that very often Command has this as its greatest weakness. It will try to control instead of leading. The next thing you know, it is lying to the [illegible]. Lie, lie, lie, and it gets worse and worse, and all of a sudden the thing blows up. Well, religion has done this. [Following sentence is underlined] Organised religion tries to control, so therefore must be lying. [end underline] After a while it figures out (even itself) that it is lying, and then it starts down tone scale further and further, and all of a sudden people get down along this spring-like bottom (heresy) and say, "Are we going into apathy and die, or are we going to revolt?" and they revolt, because you can only lie to people so long. Unfortunately there is always a new cycle of lying. L. Ron Hubbard Letter of Authenticity Exhibit C: Witness preparation. 26 January 1982 WITNESS PREPARATION: HATTING THE WITNESS Preparation of an individual witness to give evidence for us at trial can be broken into three steps: 1. The basic witness hat, which is unvarying from one witness to the next; 2. Full debriefing and resulting understanding of prospective testimony; and 3. Finalization of the testimony with the lawyer. Steps 1 and 2 would be handled by the GO terminal assisting the lawyer for that portion of the case, and step 3 would be done by the GO terminal and the lawyer. There is basic data about being a witness which should be given to every witness, to give them reality on what it will be like, answer their questions, etc. Following are the areas which we would cover (for the IRS case) as basic witness hatting. 1. It is helpful to describe to the person the physical space of the courtroom (and, if possible, to have the person visit the actual courtroom where he will be giving his evidence). Tell (or show) the witness where he will sit; where the judge, the clerk, and the reporter each sit; and what roles they play. Tell (or show) him where counsel and where the audience will be seated. The witness may want to do a little reach and withdraw on the space of the courtroom, and this can usually be accomplished during a recess. The witness should be encouraged to take control of the courtroom. 2. The statistic for a witness is something like 'length of time on the Stand' (keeping in mind the purpose of each witness to deliver certain evidence comfortably, persuasively and honestly so the judge can duplicate and agree with it). A witness will always experience discomfort. anxiety, etc., and will have (at first) a strong desire to get it over with. The danger here is that his/her testimony will become condensed or abbreviated to as to get off the stand as quickly as possible. The witness should be warned against this phenomenon. We want a witness to understand that (under ordinary circumstances) they will have done better to stay on a long time, and they should get their TR0 in and be there comfortably for as long as it takes. After a time, they invariably loosen up and actually begin to enjoy the experience such that they become willing to stay on and on. A witness who makes only a brief appearance leaves little or no impression on the judge. A trial judge or a juror must, as part of his hat, determine what degree of credibility each witness possesses, and accordingly what relative weight to give to that witness' evidence. A judge or juror does this by observation of the witness' demeanor as much as by the testimony given. A witness who is willing to be there, and answer in as much detail as necessary (not chopping his evidence short out of desire to "blow" from the stand), gives the judge or juror more time to observe, and get to know that witness; it is a matter of increasing ARC between witness and judqe or juror which results in the judge retaining the data better and also according it more weight as he will have sussed out that witness for believability. 3. The witness should know that he may be questioned by the judge directly on some point of interest or at a lull in the examination being done by counsel. If that occurs, the witness should give his answer directly to the judge, respectfully and with high ARC and attention to fully and actually answering the question asked. Also there are times, though they should be rare and sparsely used, when the witness may want to address himself to the judge, seeking his advice or aid. For example, if witness feels he simply cannot answer a cross-exam question both a yes or no, but must make an accompanying explanation, he may ask the judge for leave to explain or qualify his answer. This comm line can be used to good advantage in a situation where the line of questioning is probing an area of the witness' religious belief (or where, perhaps, the questions are designed to address or elicit upper level material): The witness can originate that this question is improper as it seeks information about his personal religious belief or data that he considers confidential as part of his beliefs, and that he has taken a perpetual vow never to disclose. Address to the judge is not to be over-used or relied on by the witness to any advantage, but the witness should know that he can have a comm line to the judge, to appeal for protection. 4. Related to point 2 above, a witness should also be told that his testimony should be calm and reasonable. Although it is part of his purpose to persuade the judge, this is done by creating credibility, not by acting as an advocate. Advocacy is the lawyer's job, and the representations of a lawyer are not evidence; the statements of a witness under oath are. Emotional reactions by the witness, argument with a cross-examining attorney, or attempts to "handle" an antagonistic cross-exam by tone scale handling are not OK. A PR-trained witness may get into handing his interrogator, instinctively, and this is to be warned against. One of the judge's chief tools for according weight or credibility to a witness and his testimony is the presence or absence of bias: an argumentative witness, or one who tries to persuade, is seen as biased, and his testimony is given less weight. The judge's thinking is along the line that this witness has something at stake (money, status, his job, having to be right, etc.), and would thus be willing to say almost anything in defense of his position. Credibility comes about by being honest, willing to answer/explain, and natural. (The useful exception to this is "righteous indignation" of a witness questioned about his personal beliefs, as discussed above). 5. The prospective witness rust be instructed on the actual comm cycle of giving testimony. If the person is our witness, then direct exam will be conducted by our lawyer, followed by cross-exam done by the opposition lawyer. Then comes a redirect exam, done again by our lawyer (followed possibly by a short recross-exam). During direct exam our witness will be asked the questions which have more or less been prepared in advance by ourselves (the witness, the GO terminal responsible, and the lawyer). None of these questions should come as a surprise, though they may be taken up in relatively random order. In response to these questions, we are usually looking for relatively detailed answers, with specific points to be made. These answers may be fairly lengthy, depending on what the court will allow. Some judges may allow 'narrative' type answers, where others may demand that the questioning attorney stick to a strict question-and-answer format. 6. During cross-examination (conducted by the opposition lawyer, for the purpose of unmocking the credibility and consistency of the witness), the witness should NEVER VOLUNTEER ANTHING. The exact question asked should be answered, no more, no less. Q: "When did you read that policy letter? A: "On the 16th May as best I can recall." NOT A: "I recall it was the 16th May as I had just returned that morning from a mission." (The latter would give the lawyer a string to pull--what mission? Where? Why? Etc.) Part of answering only the exact question asked is bearing and responding to only the words used; the tone level of the question is to be ignored. Most cross-exam is conducted at the tone of covert hostility, and this is to be taken into consideration. A clever cross-examiner can make any statement sound suspicious and any question sound accusatory; but our witness, expecting this and listening only to the words and not the tone, will not take the bait. A cross-examination proceeds by the opposing attorney asking questions designed to (1) expose known or recognized out-points in the direct testimony of our witness, and (2) lead our witness to volunteer other data which will become a 'string' to be pulled. A good cross-examiner will pull each and every string in the hope that he will find the Sherman tank which destroys that witness' credibility. A good witness who can answer the questions exactly without volunteering data or being drawn into argument or acting evasive, will emerge unscathed. The cross-examining attorney may simply give up after a few failed lines of questioning. But the witness must be willing to sit it out comfortably: we have seen witnesses who gave one day of direct testimony and then had to sit through four or five days of cross-exam (and they came out of it quite keyed out and ready to go on for as long as it took:) but this is the exception and not the rule. 7. By sticking to short, directly responsive answers (basically: yes, no, I don't know, I don't remember), the witness will invariably find that some of these answers felt incomplete, or sounded unfavorable: they would like to have explained the answer a bit, remedying the sense of "omitted" data with "all related facts known." But cross-exam is not the time to correct our own outpoints: this is handled on redirect exam. Our lawyer will have listened carefully to all the cross-exam testimony, and noted down the points which sounded incomplete or unfavorable. These will each be cleaned up or rehabbed on redirect, so that any negative effect is minimized. Also there is often a short recess between cross-exam and redirect exam, so the witness can tell the lawyer any points which he feels should be cleaned up. Knowing this in advance, the witness can be willing to have his needle "dirtied" on cross-exam and "cleaned" on re-direct. 8. When a question is asked of the witness, he should see if there is an objection forthcoming from the opposite attorney. This is especially true during cross-examination where our attorney will be trying to protect our witness from improper lines of questioning. This does not mean that the witness pauses and looks at our attorney. An obvious comm lag can look like the witness has to "think up an answer" and this hurts his credibility. If there is an objection made, it occurs by the attorney standing up and stating: "Objection--that question is improper because of blah blah blah." There may be argument back and forth on this by the attorneys for both sides, then the judge will rule. The objection will either be sustained by the court (i.e., the judge agrees that the question is improper, and the witness is to ignore the question) or overruled (i.e., the objection does not stand, and the witness must now answer.) If the witness is not paying attention, and simply hurriedly answers the question, he has cut off our lawyer from making any meaningful objection. If the witness answers the question while an objection is being interposed, the court reporter may ignore the objection and record the answer given by the witness or the judge may say, Well, the answer's in. Neither of these situations is optimum, so the witness should see if there are objections. If the witness sees the attorney start to rise, he should shut up; otherwise, he should continue measured comm. 9. A small point, perhaps, but the witness should be told that he cannot expect to be acknowledged while giving testimony. The comm cycle is question-answer, next question-next answer, etc. There is no ack in this comm cycle, and in fact this is sometimes used as a tool by the cross-examiner. He may ask a question, then turn and walk away from the witness, seemingly ignoring him even after completion of his answer. An uninformed witness might feel uncomfortable, unacknowledged, and feel compelled to answer further, to fill the silence, to last. That is what the cross-examiner wants, for the witness to run on and on, volunteering data, giving up strings to pull, and looking uneasy to the judge. So watch out for this phenomenon too. 20. The witness is sworn to tell the truth, and he must, of course, do so. The scope of his testimony and the patter for certain areas will be worked out with counsel, so that there can be minimum risk to our case and to the witness in sensitive areas. If a witness is privy to "too much" sensitive or possibly unfavorable data, he may well have been eliminated from our witness list early on. Perjury, i.e., lying under oath, is a crime (and, as we know, is usually self destructive for the individual); we want our witnesses to tell the truth. Impeachment is a term which just means that this witness is, in the judge's eyes, unworthy of belief (due to his demeanor, numerous or major inconsistencies in the testimony, or bias). Both these terms (perjury and impeachment) should be gone over with our witnesses so it is no mystery or MU if they come up in court. We had one witness who, hearing the opposition announce that they would try to impeach her, clammed up on the stand, thinking she would be taken off to jail. (During a recess we cleaned up the MU and she then did fine.) 11. Our witness should be informed that it is OK that they have talked with the lawyer (and his assistants--the GO staff) prior to testifying. No lawyer would ever put on a witness he had not worked with, and for a witness to deny this destroys his credibility immediately. It is a common tactic for the cross-examining lawyer to ask the witness if he had discussed his testimony with the Church's lawyer; if our witness doesn't know about this, he will either manifest a "missed withhold of nothing" (and be enturbulated in his testimony), or worse yet, lie about it (thus losing all credibility before the judge). 12. The witness should not look at the lawyer for our side or the GO terminal or the audience when being cross- examined. He should look at the cross-examiner, unless our attorney takes an objection. If the witness looks continuously at our lawyer, the judge or juror will think that the witness is seeking guidance from the lawyer and this affects credibility. This is not OK. Rather, the witness should be natural, looking at the person originating the comm. If the above points 1-12 are gone over with each of your witnesses at the outset, they will be much more comfortable, cooperative and successful. They need to know what to expect if they are to help. Answer all their questions, as best you can; some questions the lawyer may have to answer (e.g., if the particular witness needs independent advice about claiming a 5th Amendment,, attorney/client, priest/penitent or other privilege). These points have been taken from notes of witness hatting sessions done with the trial lawyers for the IRS case; they should be useful in the circumstances of most US trial work. That's it. Exhibit D: Addendum to
"Witness preparation" Addendum to Hat Writeups re (1) Hatting the Witness and (2) Preparing the Witness HATTING A few additional points should be included in the description of how to hat a person on what it is to be a witness in a Scientology case. These are: 1. The witness must have a good feel for what particles, comm lines, command lines, writings, activities etc., in a Scientology org are "ecclesiastical" and those that are "secular/corporate/legal." In this regard, the potential witness should definitely read Bob Harris' short exposition on the area called "Understanding Corporate Integrity II" and any disagreements or questions should be handled right away. He must have a flexible understanding of what things are corporate/legal matters and what are not. This is an area that will have to be gone over very carefully in preparing any witness for cross-exam, for it is a very fertile area for such. The witness must understand the hierarchical nature of the Church of Scientology and the nature of the relationships among Scientology terminals and organizations. You might want to show him a chart to help him understand the area. Such a chart was put into evidence in the 70-72 case (but may not be of use to everyone as it depicts relationships only during that period. Watch out, however, as the witness' understanding and ability to answer questions about this area must still and always be realistic, practical, and from the reality and point of view of that individual: In other words, a person who was the mimeo operator at the Hawaii org for six years will have a general understanding that comes from being a staff member and a Scientologist, but his 'personal knowledge' and experience will be vastly different from that of a person who held high exec positions (e.g., Commodore's Staff Aides or WW terminals). You don't want your witness to appear to have been "briefed," you want him to have his own understanding and personal knowledge--OR LACK OF IT. You just want to be sure that he either is perfectly equipped to handle this area, by virtue of intelligence, training, nature of posts and experience and duplication of the concepts involved or you want him to really recognize his limitations in the area so he cannot be led into testifying about it. (This approach is really a general rule for all witnesses--it is patently incredible for a comm runner to tell the court about management activities at Flag, or the compensation of the Founder, e.g.) 2. The witness, while testifying, should always refer to any particle by its exhibit number: whenever he talks about a tangible particle in front of him, it's not "this" or "that," it's always "Exhibit AB," or "the document marked Exhibit 236," etc. Otherwise the transcript of the testimony cannot be understood when read. The transcript, together with the exhibits themselves, are the complete RECORD of the case. It is what we will have to refer to in part if we are to appeal any case. Without an intelligible record, we cannot prove our case. So this particular bit of admin (marking documents as exhibits by letter or number) was developed to ensure a readable record. The witness should know this so that he can be careful to refer to everything by name or number. 3. Another aspect of understanding the comm cycle of the courtroom and particularly the comm cycle of cross-exam is something I call the "alter-ack." I have seen the cross-examining IRS attorney use this technique continually. He will ask the witness a question, and then appear to not understand the answer given; he will ask further clarifying questions, still seeming to get it all wrong (when he probably understands full well what he is shooting for with that particular witness). This is of course, very frustrating to the witness: he is not only not receiving any verbal ack from the lawyer, he is also not being duplicated at all. There is an eagerness on the part of anyone in a comm cycle to achieve duplication, and the witness may want to clarify the matter. But watch out. The lawyer, after a series of questions that make it seem he simply didn't get it, he will say something like, "OK, let me understand this--you said Blah Blah Blah"; he will almost restate the witness' words back to him. The witness will then leap to say "Yes!" and get the relief of having been duplicated. Usually, though, the lawyer will have restated the testimony with some sort of cunning alteration in it, some hook in it that is not what the witness would have said had he really thought about it. But if the witness has agreed, then there it is on the record. There was an example of this in the IRS 70-72 case where a witness was being asked a series of dumb questions off of an ASHO ethics order, and the cross-examining attorney was getting it all mixed up, finally restating part of the witness' words and stretching it to the conclusion that "ASHO is a subsidiary of the Sea Org"--to which our witness said "yes!" Well that is simply untrue, and is even preposterous to anyone who knows the facts (that ASHO was part of the corporation CSC, that the SO has never been a corporate entity, and that there is NO legal relationship between the two--and the term "subsidiary" is wholly a legal term). The witness was dying for an ack and some duplication from the lawyer; what he got was a false duplication ("Oh, I see: ASHO is a subsidiary of the SO") and what we got was a false and/or damaging statement on the record by someone who had no real knowledge of the facts of that area. 4. Generalities vs. specifics. Scientologists usually try to avoid dealing in generalities, but there are such things as good generalities. Entheta and suppressive statements from the cross-examining attorney will often take the form of generalities. When confronted by the opposition lawyer by generalities, our witness should ask for specifics. That will often totally cut the lawyer's line of cross-exam (as he is proceeding by generalities and cannot have or use the specifics). On the other hand, our witness should look for opportunities to use theta generalities; since it's theta, the cross-examiner will not ask for specifics--he's stung and he'll want to get away from that area. If he does ask for specifics, the witness should supply them, and chances are it will end up hurting the opposition. Examples: "Every Scientologist knows it would be violative of the creeds and codes to lie about or falsify record," or "Scientology has helped thousands of people to better lives," or "We all know, or any Scientologist who has read and understood the writings of our religion would surely know, that it is a religion and it deals with the Spirit of Man," or "We all know that the aim of Scientology is a civilization without war, crime, Insanity . . . . " An entheta cross-examiner will steer away from that stuff like a vampire from a cross. Just let him have it--with theta!! 5. A witness is to testify to things he knows of his personal knowledge only (except when he's launching a theta generality). He can only testify to what he did or saw; he cannot say what another told him he saw or did. This aspect is very useful to our witnesses on cross-exam: when being questioned about a difficult area, the witness should ask himself, "How do I know that? Did I see it or do it?" and he won't let himself be led into an area where he is not prepared, or isn't competent to testify or is speculating or making conclusions. Speculation and conclusion are not usually admissible testimony, but a clever cross-examiner can lead the witness off into an area where he assumes what the "right" answer is, but doesn't really have personal knowledge. Example: Q--"What would you do if LRH ordered you to sell the ship?" The correct answer (if your witness never received such an order) would NOT be: A- Well, gosh. I guess I'd sell the ship..."; the proper answer would be: A--"That never happened." Period. That answer will alert the judge that the question was improper, a request for speculation on the part of the witness. 6. Along the line of answering the exact question asked, and not getting outside of personal knowledge, the witness should keep in mind on cross-exam this tip: BE LITERAL. If the attorney doesn't know enough to ask the right question, he won't get the answer he's after. Don't help the poor, blundering soul. Sit back and answer the questions literally. 7. It is favorite trick of government lawyers (at least it sure was in the IRS 70-72 case) to try and impeach a Scientology witness on the text of PLs. One can only be impeached by being led to testify contrary to what one has previously written or said. One cannot be impeached (or shown to be inconsistent and therefore not credible) by being shown a PL which says something different from what one has testified to (unless, of course, the witness is the author of the PL and cannot explain satisfactorily the circumstances and intent of the issue). The natural reaction of most staff members is to adjust or modify what he has said so that it does conform to policy letters; as a good Scientologist or staff member he doesn't want to be accused of disagreement with or noncompliance to PLs. But the courtroom is different; no one is going to get into trouble for saying they didn't follow a particular PL. The witness is better off sticking to his own reality and previous statement than by back-pedalling and modifying his testimony to make it "agree" with a PL he is confronted with. Don't be intimidated by this tactic! A PL says what it says, and the witness is not responsible for those words, nor for whether or not he applied that particular PL. That may sound heretical at first, but unless the witness understands it and is flexible enough to be "in court" and not "on post" or before an ethics Investigation, he can be led Into very uncomfortable situations (and into making statements that could hurt the Church's case). B. In summary, the above points to teach a witness regarding cross-exam are these:
9. The witness will also need to have a thorough understanding (once again, commensurate with his post, training and experience, and intelligence) of the religious nature of Scientology and how this is evident in many interrelated things. For example, we all know that the Tech Volumes are clearly religious in content; but what about the OEC? It contains issues on how to run an organization, how to get orders issued and complied with how to write an invoice and keep financial records. What's religious about that? Well, take a look at it. We have a 1st dynamic tech in auditing; we also have a 3rd dynamic tech of dealing with groups/organizations. On the grade chart there is also (up the center) an Awareness Scale with awareness characteristics in an ascending gradient. Those same awareness characteristics appear on the org board, assigned to each of the 21 departments. Those 7 divisions of the org board are the 7 volumes of the OEC. What is the org board? It's not a chart of any specific org; it's a description of relationships and a way of handling life. An org may operate off an org board, but it's equally applicable to any size group, ox even to any individual. It's a philosophic machine, not a chart of some commercial company. It is based quite exactly on Scientology doctrinal concepts. The OEC contains ethics PLs. Are they religious? Certainly. They deal with doctrinal concepts about the being and how to handle him. Even something as mundane and "secular" as writing an invoice can be traced to a basic Scientology concept that "Truth is the exact time, place, form and event." If one cared to undertake the project, the entirety of LRH policy could be traced to basic concepts of communication, ethics, etc., and into the Axioms and Factors. The key here is that to almost any Scientologist who stops to think about it, the concepts underlying the org board and the OEC are part of our religion. to an outsider they may seem "secular," but they carry a different and deeper meaning for the Scientologist if for no other reason than they are written by LRH, the Founder. Understanding this, the witness cannot be caught off guard or put in an uncomfortable position regarding PLs, org boards, etc. He can know they are religious in nature and can believe that to be true. It's really part of his belief, it can't be questioned beyond that by a civil court. 10. You will have seen from the points listed in this writeup and the others about hatting and preparing witnesses that what it comes down to is that EVERY SCIENTOLOGY WITNESS CAN AND WILL BE ASKED ANY AND ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS ON CROSS-EXAM. Don't think that a witness who was only called to identify a piece of paper from a file can't and won't (if the judge is blind enough to allow this) be cross-examined on org boards, ethics, nature of policy, hierarchical and corporate relationships, etc. To the opposing attorney, all Scientology witnesses are "Fair Game" for all entheta cross-exam. So ALL SCIENTOLOGY WITNESSES HAVE TO BE READY TO HANDLE VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING, regardless of the scope of direct exam. Prepare them accordingly and they will do well and we will win; leave them unprepared in any of these areas an they will get caught in something they can't control. Few Scientology witnesses are naturals at this; some only take a little work, some take days and days. There is no substitute for going over direct and expected or-even unexpected cross-exam with the witness and the lawyer until it is perfect. The way we handled witness prep was to work up an outline of the points to be covered in direct exam (as described in another hat writeup). We would use this in prepping the witness, and the lawyer would use it in court (the lawyer cannot work from a script, but he needs the BC of an outline or list of areas to cover); the staff person working with the lawyer will then also rely on this outline to ensure the direct exam is complete. Since every Scientology witness must be prepared for cross on a multitude of areas, we used a checklist as a tool for this. It was rather like assessing a list with a PC. We had an overall list of areas to cover. These are some examples:
We would run down that list with each witness asking a question or two about the item to see how the witness would handle; perhaps he knew nothing about corporations or OTC or Flag. When we would hit a "hot" area (where the witness appeared to have knowledge and could be questioned but gave an unfavorable answer or otherwise showed he didn't duplicate the implications of cross-exam in that area), we would take it up at length, practicing cross and hatting the witness on the concepts (e.g. OEC as religious) until he was stable and confident. Once through the entire list (this might take days), that witness was ready to testify and only needed brushup on direct and cross on the day before going on the stand. The purpose of going over direct and anticipated cross is not to inculcate "pat" answers or robotism, but to nurture understanding and the ability to handle the cross-exam questions. It goes without saying that you also have to have a lawyer who (1) is very experienced at trial work, and 2) has a very thorough working knowledge of Scientology. For an experienced lawyer who doesn't really understand Scientology, it will be unreal to him that every witness has to be able to defend himself in every area. He will think that he can effectively use the "Rules" (of Evidence) to prevent improper cross-exam. He could be in for a very unpleasant surprise about that at trial. There is no other animal on the face of the Earth like a Scientology trial and he'll have to know it--or we get another Christo case. That's it. DD/GUS Exhibit E: Project Quaker EYE'S ONLY TOP SECRET Duke, Here is plan discussed, love Bryce PROJECT QUAKER INFORMATION: It may be deemed necessary for all the DC Staff who could be pulled in for questioning to suddenly leave. This must be done in such a way so that they never can be accused of "fleeing prosecution". MAJOR TARGET To ensure that all those DC staff concerned are not available for questioning by Scales yet cannot be prosecuted for fleeing. PRIMARY TARGETS 1. US B1 SEUS SEC is responsible for seeing that this project gets speedily done. He is to work closely with DC INFQ US and DG US on this project. 2. The purpose of this project is to protect the Church from Scales actions. 3. D/NAT'L SEC is responsible for the overall planning of those actions and their debugging as necessary. VITAL TARGETS 1. To ensure that extremely tight security is maintained on this project. 2. To ensure that it gets done speedily. 3. To ensure that each action is smoothly worked out so that if evaluation is necessary it will be done without a 'hitch' or mistake. 4. To get finances quickly for this project. 5. To get approval up lines on this project "super fast" so that it can be got done really fast. OPERATING TARGETS 1. Each person to whom this project pertains must immediately get his/her passport. This must be done within security's framework, meaning the person doesn't mention CofS on the passport. For occupation list Researcher - Public Relations Consultant - etc. or housewife for girls that are married. Production target 2 weeks on this. As assigned. 2. US D1 SEUS SEC is to work up an ED or some such official type proclamation entitled "Sabbatical Leaves." This can be worked out with both D/NAT'L SEC US B1 and DDG US. The above shall basically state that about 10 GO personnel shall be chosen for Sabbatical leaves. This shall start with the Founding Church in Washington DC. This is being done as an award for upstats who consistently produce well, and as an experiment to see what an energetic staff member will do on his own if given 3 to 6 months to travel and study and use scn tech. The rules are the persons are to:
This project is called "Ten Talents" after the biblical tale. A quote should be gotten from the bible and put into the ED. US B1 SEUS SEC 3. When the above Ed is completed, it should be sent to all GO DC staff wherever needed. It should appear real to those whom it does not affect. US B1 SEUS SEC 4. US B1 SEUS SEC is to work out the comm the pertinent persons are to give on this to their relatives or fellow staff. This should be done ahead of time A.S.A.P so that when and if persons have "to go" it will not cause any flaps or PTS situations. "All" should be ready to leave at any time. US B1 SEC 5. US B1 SEC is to ensure that all concerned are ready to leave at any time and that all personal cycles finances, 2D, bills, are completely up to PT and there are no PTPs or stops to immediate departure. US B1 SEUS SEC. 6. US B1 SEUS SEC is to see AG DC keeps all staff actions written up to PT and that machinery exists, to as best as possible, take over, for each person (including the AG) if this action were needed to be done. This should be worked out in liason with DDG US and DG US. US B1 SEUS SEC. 7) US B1 SEUS SEC is to immediately do up a confidential CS-W for "set-aside" finances for this project. This is for seven or eight people so the amount should be about $10,000 for starters. Any help needed on this can come from DDG US or DG US. These finances should be given to AG DC to hold in case this actions is implemented. US SEUS SEC B1 8) SEUS SEC B1 is to ensure that the "need to know" is strictly followed on this project. No communicators are to know. The Need to Know is limited to DG US; DDG US; DG I US, DDG I US; US b1 NAT'L SEC, D/NAT'L SEC US; any US DG's that must know are told by DG US; and those DG staff that this concerns. 9) SEUS SEC US B1 is to set up an "early warning" system whereby he or DG US can be notified immediately with any info needed to decide to put 'Failsafe' into action. SEUS SEC US B1 10. A "safehouse" or "safehouse area" should be chosen in an out of the way place, like a ski resort - Dude ranch - farm - Canada - Mexico - etc., This "place" should be investigated to ensure it can be used anytime of the year by people just "showing up". This "safe house" is for Sabbaticals to go till it is shown one way or another that they must stay away or come back. SEUS SEC US B1 11. A cover story as to why "they" all went there; without the Church knowing it, must be worked out - as this breaks Sabbatical rules. SEUS SEC US B1 12. Seven safe different places (or as many as needed) must be worked out, where the Sabbaticals will go if they must extend their leave. One for each person. SEUS SEC US B1 13. Secure comm lines, codes, etc., must be worked out for this "safe house" are in #10, and each different place in #12 above. This must be done before any Sabbaticals are taken. SEUS SEC US B1 14. The entire DC Org should be alerted in some way to this Sabbatical "cover story". And if needed to be implemented the DC Org should be informed of this "award for" those concerned. (The one, two - 10 Talent analogy should be used). This is to take all the mystery off the line and make it no surprise as well as handling any testimony in court by any staff. SEUS SEC US B1 15. When all of the above actions are worked out to the DG I/DG US's satisfaction, a chock list, code words, etc., are to be worked out so that if deemed necessary the Sabbaticals will go off like clockwork. SEUS SEC US B1 16. Upon completion of targets 1-15, D/NAT'L SEC is to fly to DC on mission. His MO's will be the briefing and any necessary drilling to be done to prepare the "persons" for their "Sabbaticals" if necessary to implement. MOs to be written by SEUS SEC US B1 and approved by DG I US and DG US. SEUS SEC US B1.

[[[[ big snip ]]]] As a subdivision of general public to general public we have the problem of the professionals which might consider Scientology to be antipathetic to them, amongst these would be psychologists and medical doctors as well as psychiatrists. These persons are entirely in error when they express the opinion that Scientologists are against Missing (illegible) text reads: ``them. Scientology does not consider them sufficiently important to be against. Flour pills or any incantation ...'' (5 or 6 words illegible) ..... -or system will produce in 22 percent, of the public, benefit. Therefore, any practice or art can always achieve 22 per cent recovery in their patients. It is when we better this 22 percent, that we are being efficient. We have no more quarrel with a psychologist that we would have with an Australian witch-doctor. We have no quarrel with a pychiatrist any more that we would quarrel with a barbarian because he has never heard of nuclear physics. As to the medical doctor, we know very well that modern medical practice, having lately outgrown phlebotomy, has come of age to point where is can regulate structure in a most remarkable and admirable way. In Scientology we believe a medical doctore definitely has his role in a society just as an engineer has his role in civil government. We believe that a medical doctor should perform emergency operations such as those made necessary by accidents; that he should perform orthopeadics; that he should deliver babies; that he should have charge of the administration of drugs; that his use of antibiotics is beneficial; and that wherever he immediately and curatively addresses structure his is of use in a community. The only place we would limit a medical doctor is in the field of treatment of psychosomatic medicine, where he has admittedly and continously failed, and the only thing we would ask a medical doctor to change about his practice is to stop taking money for things he knows he cannot cure, i.e., spiritual, mental, psycho-somatic, and social ills. [[[[ snip ]]]] Should you ever be arrested for practicing Scientology, treating people, make very sure, long before the time somes, that you have never used drugs or surgery, and that you have never prescibed a diet, or vitamins, and when that time might come, make very sure that you immediately and instantly, within two or three hours after your receipt of the warrant, have served upon the signer of the warrant, a personal civil suit for $100,000.00 damages for having caused the arrest of a Man of God going about his business in his proper profession, and for having brought about embarrasing publicity and molestation. place the suit and WIRE THE HASI IMMEDIATELY. Make the whole interest during the entire time of such an unfortunate occurance the fact that the signer of such a warrant, who would ordinarily be a medical doctor in charge of the medical department of some city, had dared fly in the teth of religion. And we use what is necessary of the earlier passage above to drive the point home. DO NOT simply fall back out of commmunication if you are attacked, but attack, much more forcefully and artfully and arduosly. And if you are foolish enough to have an attorney who tells you not to sue, immediately dismiss him and get an attorney who will sue. Or, if no attorney will sue, simply have an HASI suit form filled out and present it yourself to the county clerk in the court of the area in which your case has come up. IN ALL SUCH CASES OR ARREST FOR THE PRACTICE OF SCIENTOLOGY, THE HASI WILL SEND A REPRESENTATIVE AT ONCE, BUT DO NOT WAIT FOR HIS ARRIVAL TO PLACE THIS SUIT. THE SUIT MUST ALREADY HAVE BEEN FILED WHEN THE HASI ATTORNEY ARRIVES. In other words, do not, at any moment leave this act unpunished, for, if you do you are harming all other Scientologists in the area. When you are attacked it is your responsiblity then to secure from further attack not only yourself but all those who work with you. Cause blue flame to dance over the court house roof until everybody has apologized profusely for having dared to become so adventurous as to arrest a Scientologist who, as a minsietr of the church, was going about his regular duties. As far as the advances of attorneys go that you should not sue, that you should not attack, be aware of the fact that I, myself, in Whichita, Kansas, had the rather interesting experience of discovering that my attorney employed by me and paid by me, had been for some three months in the employ of the people who were attacking me, and that this attorney has collected some insignificant sum of money after I hired him, by going over to the enemy and acting upon their advices. This actually occurred, so beware of attorneys that tell you not to sue. And I call to you attention the situation of any besieged fortress. If that fortress does not make allies, does not send forth patrols to attack and harrass, and does not utilize itself to make the beseiging of it a highly dangerous occupation, that fortress may, and most often does, fall.
Another point directly in the interest of keeping the general public to the general public communication line is good odor: it is vitally important that a Scientologist put into action and overtly keep in action Article 4 of the Code: "I pledge myself to punish to the fullest extent of my power anyone misusing or degrading Scientology to harmful ends." The only way you can guarantee that Scientology will not be degraded or misused is to make sure that only those who are trained in it practice it. If you find somebody practicing Scientology who is not qualified, you should give them the opportunity to be formally trained, at their expense, so that they will not abuse and degrade the subject. And you would not take as any substitute for formal training any amount of study. You would therefore delegate to members of the HASI who are not otherwise certified only those processes mentioned below, and would discourage them from using any other processes. More particularly, if you discovered that some group calling itself "precept processing" had set up and established a series of meetings in your area, that you would do all you could to make things interesting for them. In view of the fact that the HASI holds copyrights for all such material, and that a scientific organization of materials can be copyrighted and therefore owned. The least that could be done to to such an area is the placement of a suit against them for using materials of Scientology without authority. Only a member of the HASI or a member of one of the churches affiliated with the HASI has the authority to use this information. The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If posible, of course, ruin him utterly. [[[[ big snip ]]]] OT I There have been three different
OT. Its put out by Hubbard. Here they all are. 1. On an E-Meter, find the last
3,000 years of lifetimes. Plot out the entire 3,000 year chart as
follows: (b) Find the following motivator lifetime, and follow procedure as above. (Identity and dates.) (c) Find the postulate from each lifetime and the basic postulate in each group of lifetimes. (d) Continue the first three steps until the entire 3,000 years is charted and the individuals kharma, i.e. (over motivator sequence) becomes apparent. (e) In some cases additional benefit could be obtained by locating the basic misunderstood which proceeded the basic overt on this chain. Second OT I (b) With an E-Meter, scan out entire present lifetime to a floating needle. (c) Mock-up heat until body feels warm. (d) Postulating mass: With the use of the E-Meter and the command "I have Mass", create a reactive mind. Put sufficient significance on to it to cause the T.A to rise. Then spot it until the T.A. falls and the mass erases. Run to an FIN. Then mock it up again and erase it each time to a floating needle. This procedure is repeated until the pre-OT is certain he can create and dissipate a reactive mind. Third OT I The current OT I is done outdoors and consists solely of one command run until cognition. "Spot a person" concludes OT I Non-Solo OT IV Rundown Symptoms Has completed OT III OT IV Warning. This is in fact a grade. Therefore to run it without setting the case up fully is to waste it. Often the case has to: (1) Be discharged with a lot of corrective actions and (2) OT III must be run on the PC by the auditor or at least cleaned up. It might not be uncommon to have to do half or more of the C/Ses in the book before doing the OT IV Rundown. If one holds off and really flies the case, then the person winds up at OT Exterior very nicely when one does OT IV. If you do OT IV and he's still in his head, all is not lost, you have other actions you can take. Clusters, Prep-Checks, failed to exteriorise directions. OT V and VI are designed for someone already exterior. If a person doesn't go exterior after OT IV Rundown, you set him up for V by then seeing he jolly well does go exterior before going on to V. OT IV Rundown Done only by an Auditor on a Case fully set up by various Directions. 2 April 1978 OT IV SOLO The end phenomenon of OT IV is "Certainty of Self as a Being". The thing that would make a Being uncertain is the possibility of future implants. OT IV Solo is designed to "proof up a Being" against any possibility of being re-implanted now that he/she has finished running implants with the completion of OT. The main idea on OT IV Solo is to mock-up (create) each line of the Clearing Course (7's, The Basic End Words, The Confusion GPM, Objects-Hollow, Objects-Solid) with all the perceptics, force, impact, and unconsciousness of the original implant (as much as you are able). When the line is mocked up (created or recreated), then unmock it, cease creating it, and blow the charge you have recreated or mocked up. Do this repetitively with each line of the Clearing Course (including lights) to a floating needle on each line. Continue until you feel totally free with and at cause over this implant sequence; (you may or may not need to complete all 5 parts). Do it until you can freely and easily mock-up and blow this implant and can confront implants. Lastly, scan out all of your auditing early to late adding up all the hours in session as you go along. Come up with a total number of auditing hours for yourself. Find and run a havingness process. Attest to OT IV (1) Rudiments or GF (Green
Form) to FIN. (IF THE PRE OT DOES NOT EXTERIORIZE, WE WILL DO 7 CASES NEXT SESSION AND HANDLE UNTIL HE DOES GO EXTERIOR which is really the end phenomena of OT IV Audited only by a Class VIII.) CAUSE OVER MEST Gain Freedom from Fixated Introversion into MEST For eons, man has speculated and guessed about the nature of the Physical Universe. There have been many opinions and much discussion. Even the modern physicist, with his many names and labels, is still in the dark when it comes to how it got here and why. Before Scientology, the exact truth about the MEST Universe was lost, and the way out of the trap unknown. Lies and misinformation had taken the place of the truth. In 1967, L. Ron Hubbard released Section V of the Operating Thetan Course, the most powerful level released up to that time. On OT V you learn the truth about the Physical Universe, not the laws of physical scientists, but the basic considerations about Matter, Energy, Space and Time. The tremendous power that this universe seems to have over thetans resulting in entrapment, degradation and death, is traced to its source. As you exteriorize from the Physical Universe at Section V. you discover exactly what MEST is, and become free of its laws. At OT V, a Being is re-familiarized as a thetan exterior with the Physical Universe. OT drills are done to remarkably increase a Being's ability to communicate with his environment. He is now able to do so, totally free of the mind and body, and free from a fixated introversion into MEST. Solo auditing on this level serves as an introduction to the rehabilitation of his total abilities as a thetan. He learns to use his new abilities Is a thetan with wisdom and judgment. OT V Pre OT is to lie down in a comfortable position with eyes shut. (1) Spot a spot in the room. (2) Spot a spot in your body. Alternate 1 and 2 until commands are flat then, (3) Spot two spots in your body. (4) Spot two spots outside. Alternate 3 and 4 until flat then, (5) Spot a spot outside. (6) Spot a spot on the sun. (7) Spot two spots outside. (8) Spot two spots on the sun. (Notice what happens.) The pre OT may exteriorize during these drills but doesn't necessarily have to. While still inside with eyes shut in a comfortable position the pre-OT is to follow the following commands and write down any major cognitions. (9) Spot an object in the-room. (10) Spot an object outside. (11) Locate a moving object. (12) Locate a spot in your body. (13) Spot a motion. (14) Locate a space. (15) Spot a Thetan. Continue the above steps until major cognition, very good indicators or exteriorization occurs. The following steps are done outside. The pre OT takes a paper and pencil with him to take notes. 1. The pre-OT is to put his attention on an object that is ahead of him like a parked car, lamp post, etc. and walk towards it noticing the distance between him and it. He is to continue to do this until cognition. 2. Next the pre-OT is to again pick out an object ahead of him and wrap in energy beam around it and himself and pull himself toward the object with shortening of the beam. Notice what happens. 3. Locate an object, draw energy from it into you. Repeat at least ten times. Note any cognitions. 4. Locate an object as above and walk toward it. Notice what is holding you to it. 5. Notice a cloud and notice the space between you and it. 6. Notice your body. 7. Notice the motion of the earth and your relationship to it. 8. Notice something about 10 people. Do all the above steps to a cognition. Note: Originally it was not necessary to be exteriorized in order to do OT V or VI 6. Recently however, it has been changed and the state of exteriorization is supposed to be achieved by OT 4, thereby leaving OT V and VI to be done while exterior. END OF OT V Each of the following processes are run to a (1) Floating needle (2) Major cognition (3) Regained ability. (Preferably all three together as the ideal end. End Phenomena.) Be three feet in back of your head. Whatever you are looking at, copy it a dozen times, put it into you. Find the two back corners of the room and hold onto them without thinking for two minutes. Find two corners of the planet Earth, hold onto them for two minutes. Find a place where you are not. Spot three spots in your body. Spot three spots in the room. Be in the following places: The room, the sky, the moon, the sun. Locate an animal .. postulate him moving from one spot to another. Observe him doing this. Find a walking man ... postulate his walking faster. Do this with 20 people. Find a walking person .. postulate that he will stop, then continue walking. Do this 20 times. Find a person in a distant land. Notice the time of day. Notice the terrain. Notice the general environment. Smell the air. Locate a thought that is his. Locate a thought that is yours. Continue until flat. Notice differences between you and your body. Create in your body a feeling of calmness; create in your body sexual desire and turn it off. Continue that step until you feel you have control over the sexual drives. Create in the body a feeling of pain. Create in the body a feeling of serenity. Do the above until flat. Create in the body a feeling of hunger and turn it off. Continue this step until you are in control of hunger drives. The end result of these particular drills is the regained ability to control the body and its sensations. Now: Postulate Anger, boredom, grief, cheerfulness and serenity -- in that order. This is continued until you are sure that you can create any emotion. Finally, exteriorized visit a friend who lives in another state. Greet him and flow affinity to him. Ask him to communicate to you by letter. End of OT VI OT VII RUNDOWN June 1979 Revision 1. Basic Processes Set-up. OT7-1 What are you willing to cause? What are you willing to be the effect of?

Attest to OT7 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE OT VIII HCO BULLETIN OF 1 OCTOBER 1969 SECRET WHY THETANS MOCK-UP This question has been the most plaguing one in Dianetics and Scientology. The ONLY way a thetan ever gets in trouble, the ONLY way he can get trapped or become part of a cluster is by mocking-up and making pictures of bad experiences. And why record all bad experiences? This too is not good sense. One can explain it by a yearning for events, by havingness and other ways, but these do not factually lead to a total solution. The real reason stems from a characteristic of a thetan. He never totally gives up. There is, seemingly, a streak of resistance or resentment that makes a thetan wish to persist in the same place. If he cannot, he will do so covertly. All power comes from the ability to occupy a point. The base that separates two terminals must be firm or there will be no exchange of energy. The effort to weaken a thetan is to make him relinquish his point in space. Covertly or overtly a thetan seeks to assert his position in space. If he cannot do so overtly he does so covertly. When a thetan is moved unwillingly from a point or position, he even then refuses to give up that point, but MOCKS IT UP. He also mocks up the events of his departure as a part of the action of mocking up the point he is leaving. This, unwittingly, gives him a picture, an engram. Now let us see if this theory holds true in practice.
A thetan too easily substitutes a mock-up for a point in the real universe. One could also say that a thetan, by mocking up, warns himself against certain points in space or areas in the Physical Universe. Anxiety is solely not being able to be in certain places and not where one is either. Making people leave is the
most unpopular action, unless one also frees them to be anywhere. Jail denies a thetan all spaces except where he has been placed and note that thetans are made very miserable in jail. Jailing is a sure way to confirm criminals and also to make them crazy as well. Any thetan, stuck in an engram, is asserting the effort to be at the point where he was hit at the beginning of that engram. An engram therefore is a refusal to leave a place at which force was exerted to drive one away. Reversely, one can refuse to be held at a place where one does not wish to be, but this is a negation of a place, a not-is of it and its time. Power of choice over where one is and where one is not is thus a key to engrams. Finally -- a thetan mocks up because he covertly refuses to abandon a location under duress and not-ises the place where he does not wish to be but must. Using these facts one can blow engrams without running them. Some sample questions:
Working with this you will see a door open to a higher level than Dianetic R3R. But realize that it is only for a high level thetan. This is the road to returned personal power in the Physical Universe. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:rs HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE HCO BULLETIN OF 5 MAY 1980 LIMITED DISTRIBUTION ISSUE I OT VIII Course Students C O N F I D E N T I A L STUDENT BRIEFING By the time you read this I will no longer be occupying the body and identity that you have known as Ron. That identity continues to live in the hearts and minds of many as well as in on-Source tech and admin centers around the planet, and will inspire for years to come Scientologists and lovers of truth every-where. What follows is a story that has been withheld, for reasons which will soon be obvious, until such time as there were enough OTs that something could be done about it. That time Is now. It is not a nice or a pretty story. but I trust that having arrived on the OT VIII Course you are ready to hear it. You have undoubtedly heard pieces of data over the years that hinted at the greater untold reality of my mission here on Earth. but the story was never written, nor spoken in its entirety due to security problems that have unfortunately always plagued the organization. It is only now that I feel it safe to release the information, although the time is rapidly approaching when I will have no choice in the matter, the hour draws that near. I an not going to delve too deeply into specifics as people have a tendency to bog themselves down in significance which would only serve to delay the immediacy of the task at hand. Therefore I will be brief. Some eighty-odd million years ago Earth time (it actually dates at 78,395,042 but dates are a bit superfluous with this material) plans were drawn by a group outside the MEST universe for the eventual takeover of a good portion of this universe. Not a particularly large nor Imaginative crew, their exterior perspective, however, gives them considerable advantage over the time- bound beings of the MEST universe. Borrowing from earlier operations such as Helotrobus. they conceived an ongoing implant, some portions of which have been fairly faithfully rendered in parts of the Bible. This implant, laid in by carefully controlled genetic mutation at Incident Two of OT Ill, and periodically reinforced by controlled historic events since then, makes it effectively impossible for beings on the more heavily affected planets such as Earth to become free. It causes progressive genetic "evolution" that gives the subject population greater and greater susceptibility to the telepathic impingement and direction of the controllers. In its final stage the progression becomes almost geometric, and it is this final stage that we are rapidly approaching. Another aspect of this GE-line implant is that the body becomes in effect a sort of thetan trap that kicks in heavily on the being should he attempt to expand his horizons beyond that of pure physical universe reality. There can be temporary key-outs which we have all experienced in varying degrees, but until this area is handled it can honestly be said that there is no hope for continued expansion. The good news is that once this is run out. expansion becomes rather effortless and almost automatic. No doubt you are familiar with the Revelations section of the Bible, where various events are predicted. Also mentioned Is a brief period of time in which an arch-enemy of Christ, referred to as the anti-Christ, will reign and his opinions will have sway. All this makes for very fantastic, entertaining reading, but there is truth in it. This anti-Christ represents the forces of Lucifer (literally, the "light bearers" or "light bringer"), Lucifer being a mythical representation of the forces of enlightenment, the Galactic Confederacy. My mission could be said to fulfill the Biblical promise represented by this brief anti-Christ period. During this period there is a fleeting opportunity for the whole scenario to be effectively derailed, which would make it impossible for the mass Marcabian landing (Second Coming) to take place. The Second Coming is designed, among other things, to trigger a rapid series of destructive events. With the exception of the original Buddhism, virtually all religions of any consequence on this planet, mono- and pantheistic alike, have been instruments to speed the progress of this "evolution of consciousness," and bring about the eventual enslavement of mankind. As you know, Siddhartha Gautama never claimed to be anything more than a man. Having caught on to this operation, he postulated his own return as Maitreya, part of which prophecy will have been fulfilled upon the passing of L. Ron Hubbard. For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings inspired to see where it all inevitably leads. It Is historic fact and yet man still clings to the ideal, so deep and insidious is the biologic implanting. It Is a good joke that the Galactic Confederacy is associated with the Serpent in the Garden, the beast and other emissaries of the "Prince of Darkness." Yet in certain passages and esoteric interpretations of the Bible (much of which has been taken out and effectively suppressed for centuries) as well as the Cabbalah, the truth reveals itself quite nicely for the clever and the ungullible. So it really is a race against time, and one that we happen to be losing at the moment, as the implant drama inexorably plays itself out in spite of the breakneck pace I've managed to keep up these last thirty-five years. I had an inkling, but only that, of the insidiousness of this material as far back as 1945. Later. in characteristic over-optimism, I thought that R6 would be the end of it. But that was followed by NOTs and the Purification Rundown, and still the string continued to unwind with the ball at the end of it just out of sight. It makes one wonder about such things as fate and destiny, such was the resolve with which I managed to cling to that string, not often knowing how close I was to falling into the abyss myself, but destiny is merely the rationalization of feeble minds. Things don't just happen, they are caused. And causative beings can undo the plans of madmen and would-be enslavers, no matter how long those plans may have been in the making. I will soon leave this world only to return and complete my mission with another Identity. Although I long to stretch my arms back in repose on some distant star in some distant galaxy, it appears that is one dream that will have to wait. But my return depends on people like you doing these materials thoroughly and completely, so that there will be a genetically uncontaminated body for me to pick up and resume where I left off. A body free of religious mania, right/wrong dichotomy and synthetic karma. The job ahead is far too tough to even contemplate doing with your standard -- courtesy of certain other-dimensional players and their Marcab pieces, many of whom are right here In the general populace -- genetically altered body. Without the biogenetic meddling of those who stand outside time (who cannot yet directly influence our world and must work through others), the dwindling spiral is not nearly as automatic and self-perpetuating as it appears. There are regions, even in isolated parts of the Milky Way, where poets are free to poet, and magicians can paint reality with their magic wands, and exteriorize without body kickback. But these areas, unfortunately, are fewer and fewer. I will return not as a religious leader, but a political one. That happens to be the requisite beingness for the task at hand. I will not be known to most of you, my activities misunderstood by many, yet along with your constant effort in the theta band, I will effectively postpone and then halt a series of events designed to make happy slaves of us all. So there you have it. The secret that I have kept close to my chest all these years. Now you too are part of this secret, and I no longer have to shoulder the burden alone, or live with the possibility of body death before all the data could be released. And with this briefing, I entrust to each of you the responsibility for this material until such time as I am able to return. For we have no help from any other quarter in this matter. The handful of secret societies throughout history that have caught on to this game have long since fallen by the wayside or been taken over and become instruments of the very menace they were set up to combat. The rundown is long and can be arduous, but it must be done thoroughly if there is to be any effect not only on the body of the pre-OT, but the body of his or her progeny as well. There is some danger, but with OT VII thoroughly complete, It is not nearly so great as the danger witnessed by assorted unfortunates who happened to stumble into this area in their sleep, or in moments of reverie or anaten, experiencing an hitherto mysterious phenomenon known as "spontaneous combustion". CAUTION: DO NOT BE PTS WHILE TRAVERSING THIS THIRD AND FINAL WALL OF FIRE But the area is well charted, the rundown many years in secret development, and by the time you read this, undoubtedly completed on myself. The wins awaiting you are like none that you have ever experienced, not just for you. but for your children, your children's children, and the whole of mankind if we succeed. And we will. If we had time, we should pity the many poor souls, from 1950 to PT, who chose such an exactly inopportune moment to drop off the road to truth, and disconnect from reality, the full burst and glory of OT practically within their grasp. But we haven't the time to "wax philosophic" or ponder might have beens. The rundown follows. Again I say, do it thoroughly and completely, for it is your ticket to the stars. And beyond! L.
