HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE HCO POLICY LETTER OF 21 OCTOBER 1968 Remimeo CANCELLATION OF FAIR GAME The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations. This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:ei:cden 8/5/71 Flag 1404 15th Ave. Mother, Do you recall talking to me about WW III -- and where it would start if it were to start -- father and most everyone else maintained that it would start in either China or Russia vs. U.S. -- and you said -- oh NO -- it would originate in Germany -- that the Nazis hadn't given up yet - ? Well babe, you were right. There is a new Nazi resurgence taking place in Germany -- so now it's a race between the good guys in the white hats (Scientologists) and the Leiptzig death camp (Nazis) the bad guys in the black hats -- we'll win of course -- but the game is exciting. Truth is stranger than fiction. As Alice (Alice in Wonderland) says, "Things get curiouser & curiouser!" Get into Scientology now. IT's fantastic! Love, Susan Flag 1404 15th Ave. Dear Family, I just had a session -- an auditing session. I feel great! Great GREAT! and my life is EXPANDING EXPANDING -- and it's ALL SCIENTOLOGY Hurry Up! Hurry, Hurry Be a friend to yourselves --
Love, Susan The Church of Scientology of California The Hubbard Scientology
Organization in Founder L. Ron Hubbard The Academy of Scientology 7 July 1971 George Meister Dear Mr. Meister, First may I express my deep and sincere condolences for your bereavement in what must be a shocking and tragic loss. For myself as well as the Church may I express the hope that the spirit of your daughter may yet find the tranquility that it has so restlessly sought. The purpose of Rev. Maren's visit was an expression of the solicitude that any Church might feel upon the loss of a parishioner. Rev. Maren acted as an emissary for the Church and, at the request of Captain Starkey, was entrusted with easing the distress to you and your family of what might otherwise have been a belated and perhaps abruptly impersonal notification by officialdom. As your request to Rev. Maren for additional information, I fully understand your concern. Official details relative to the tragedy will I am sure be contained in the duly recorded testimony supplied the Inquest; as well as the Coroner's report; and the death certificate which I am informed is presently enroute to you. These documents will undoubtedly contain the detailed information which you as a relative of the deceased should expect to receive regarding the circumstances of death. I am sure you understand that the ship's company, an independent Panamanian agency, is under no obligation to The Church of Scientology of California to provide information that it might deem goes beyond the scope of a reasonable inquiry by bereaved parents. In addition to the details Rev. Maren has already communicated to you (a precis of which is attached), further details as to Church activity and doctrine can be found in the literature and Book of Ceremonies enclosed. As to shipment of the remains, the ship's captain has indicated that should you wish local Christian burial with monument, such will be arranged in a Christian cemetery in Morocco, at company expense. If the remains are to be shipped to the United States, which I understand is your desire, the company regrettably is not in a position to bear the considerable costs involved. Please call me personally should you have any further need of the services or good offices of the Church, and may I re-express my deepest condolences. Yours in God, Rev. Robert H. Thomas RHT:jm cc: Mr. Cheever Greely, Colo. Weld County Health Department Dear Sirs: Recently this reporter has had disclosed to him some rather alarming news. I once had to cover a story in a small town such as Greeley, which had rather primitive but never the less adequate health facilities. These chose to ignore a Cholera warning from the World Health Organization. Believe me, the results were not pleasant. There has been Cholera in Morocco. Everyone leaving the country is required to have a Cholera shot before leaving and there is a public health campaign to get all citizens vaccinated; however there is a shortage of vaccine. There have been a reported 200-300 deaths. It has been brought to my attention that the daughter of one George Meister, died in Morocco either by an accident or from Cholera, probably the latter. Meister either already has or is in the process of bringing back the body to Greeley. An Epidemiologist that I've talked to concerning this, said that this was pure insanity and that he knew of one exact such case that caused an outbreak. I urge you to handle this health threat to all Greeley citizens. Everybody could be affected by this. We cannot be complacent with such a danger. My informant believes the funeral home, where the body is shipped is called Macys, in Greeley. Please act quickly as lives could very well hang in the balance. I'm sending copies of this letter to most Health officials in the state. My attorney has advised me not to reveal my name due to possible legal hazards, but if necessary I'll do so in the Press, for my children live here, and I've seen a Cholera epidemic. Very sincerely A citizen Affidavit of Steven Garritano 1. My introduction to Scientology was in January of 1977 when the following representations were made to me concerning the benefits of "auditing" and Scientology. These representations were that auditing was scientifically guaranteed to confer the following benefits:
2. Many false representations were made concerning the cult's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, including the following:
3. Based on the above representations I joined the Church of Scientology. After 2-1/2 year experience as a Scientology I eventually discovered that the above representations were false and made for the single purpose of enticing people to purchase auditing and courses, and/or join staff. 4. In early 1979 I was at Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida. I contracted an illness which was later diagnoses to be hepatitis. I received an injection (hypodermic needle) from a Scientologist dressed in a white uniform, which I was told was a "hepatitis vaccine". To my knowledge, this individual was not a medical doctor. 5. I was later diagnosed by my father, Dr. Garritano and the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston to have suffered from hepatitis, mononucleosis and strept throat. 6. While in Clearwater I observed the living conditions of staff members to be unsanitary. On one occasion I entered a small room which was constructed to facilitate one occupant, inhabited by a minimum of eight people. These individuals slept in 2 triple bunks and 2 single beds. 7. The conditions for those individuals imprisoned in the Rehabilitation Project Force (R.P.F.) were unhealthy and unsanitary. These individuals were forced to live and sleep in the garage. 8. Many of the buildings and living quarters I observed were bug infested, and unsuitable for living. Signed under the pains and penalties of perjury, [Signed 5/5/82] Steven Garritano Affidavit of Carol Garrity I, Carol Garrity, being first duly sworn, depose and say: 1. I was a member of the Church of Scientology from April 1975 through July 1980 and during that time I became a staff member and worked full time for the Scientology Organization from August 1976 through July 1980. 2. Between November 1978 and July 1980 I was a member of the "Guardian's Office" of the Church of Scientology. the "Guardian's Office" of the Church of Scientology. The Guardian's Office, more commonly referred to as the "G.O." by Scientologists, is responsible for intelligence gathering, covert operations and activities, spying and public relations. The Guardian's Office administers "front" groups such as schools and drug programs which are designed to make money. 3. The Guardian's Office headquarters in the United States is in California. However, the Guardian's Office has the power to go into a local Scientology Church, and literally take over any section of it or the entire local church if necessary. This is covered in a policy letter written by L. Ron Hubbard, entitled "The Guardian". 4. The Guardian's Office activities are conducted pursuant to a Scientology policy entitled the "Fair Game Doctrine" which states:
5. I have personal knowledge that the Scientology organization has actively and covertly conducted operations against Attorney Michael Flynn in an attempt to destroy him and thereby eliminate him as a representative of those individuals victimized by the Scientology organization. 6. One such operation occurred between January and July 1980, when the Guardian's Office conducted a series of covert operations to infiltrate the law office of Michael J. Flynn by placing a "plant" whose code name was "Oscar" and whose real name was William Broderick. 7. The Guardian's Office devised a second covert operation to stop Attorney Flynn's client, La Venda Van Schaick, from speaking out against the Scientology organization. The program was code named "Shake and Bake" and pursuant to the program G.O. agents were sent to Massachusetts to interrogate Ms. Van Schaick and tried to encourage her to divorce her husband and fire Attorney Flynn. 8. The Guardian's Office perused Ms. Van Schaick's auditing files, which contained the most personal and intimate details of her life, and extracted confidential disclosures for the purpose of blackmail and extortion. 9. The practice of reviewing confidential auditing files and extracting private and intimate details of an individual's life is a common Scientology practice. The data gleaned from an unsuspecting individual's file is transmitted to the California headquarters for extortion and blackmail. This practice occurs regularly. I have personal knowledge of auditing information being sent to Clearwater and transmitted from Clearwater for this purpose. 10. On one occasion I received a Guardian's Office order instructing me to remove confidential information from Tonja Burden's file (a woman suing the Church of Scientology and release it to the media. I executed the order and brought the information to the Las Vegas Review Journal. 11. I became upset and in fear when I learned that eleven top leaders of Scientology had been convicted of felonies, including Mary Sue Hubbard, the founder's wife. I did not agree with the Scientology practice which condoned burglaries, electronic surveillance, spying on former members and others perceived to be critics of Scientology and all the other unlawful and underhanded conduct that the release of the documents in the FBI raids revealed in the national media. 12. I left the Church of Scientology on July 18, 1980. Dated this 28th day of April 1982.
