STATE OF FLORIDA, CITY OF CLEARWATER, PINELLAS COUNTY
CITY OF CLEARWATER COMMISSION HEARING RE: THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
Thursday, May 6, 1982

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

MR. WALTERS: Well, let me just say this to you, otherwise, a lot of what I say won't be understood: Scientology, like everything, is not totally bad. There is some technology that is good. They're not going to have people like myself who are not complete idiots --  any of your sons or daughters, if they went into the first few courses, I'll tell you, they would like it. You're not asked to dress up in fancy robes, you don't cut your hair, you don't go singing songs, you don't go to the airport and elicit donations. In other words, it's not the appearance of a cult.

It appears to be a very technical solution and education on the theory of life, et cetera. The general public is involved in that and they get fleeced for their money.

The staff member who works on the staff, again, is usually more brainwashed, more into working hard for Hubbard. And a lot of them are good, decent people, working very hard for practically no pay, working fourteen, fifteen hours a day, doing the slightest thing wrong and being beaten or thrown in the hold or many other things that -- subject to degradation, financial loss, suits, et cetera.

Anyway, they're just young, decent people who, if they weren't in Scientology, I believe a lot of them would be in the Peace Corps or something like that.

Then, you have the higher officials of the Church. Some of them are decent people just brainwashed on Scientology and Hubbard. Others are out and out criminals who participated in criminal acts years ago and, I believe, are probably doing it up to this day, and are probably here in Clearwater.

Then, you have the Guardian's Office, which is a separate outfit, who is -- it's sort of on the outside of Scientology, but it protects Scientology and actually runs it. It's hard to explain it. The best example, which is very real to me, is like Hitler and the troops, which is the Sea org., then, you have the Gestapo, which is the Guardian's Office. And fear and the actual running of Scientology is actually from the Guardian's Office.

The Guardian's Office ranges anywhere from some young, new individuals who really don't know very much -- some probably don't even believe that they did break into the federal buildings or any of that stuff; they probably believe I never was in Scientology or whatever they're told about me -- and, then, you have further above them people who are inclined to become criminals and the type of people that would go in the SS in Germany. Then, in the higher-ups of the Guardian's Office, you have people who, from my experience, turn out to be criminals and people in hatred and fear of citizens throughout the land.
