CHAPTER 7:
Scientology and its Enemies
173. The reactions of individuals
and groups to criticism varies from grateful acceptance. or amused
tolerance, at one end of the scale to a sense of outrage and vindictive
counter-attack on the other. Perhaps unfortunately (especially for its
adherents) Scientology falls at the hyper-sensitive end of the scale.
Judging from the documents, this would seem to have its origin in a
personality trait of Mr. Hubbard, whose attitude to critics is one of
extreme hostility. One can take the view that anyone whose attitude to
criticism is such as Mr. Hubbard displays in his writings cannot be too
surprised if the world treats him with suspicion rather than affection.
174. The enemies of Scientology
would seem to fall into four classes: -
(i) Scientologists who have
defected from the cause;
(ii) Anyone outside
Scientology who expresses doubt as to its truth, value, efficacy, or
sincerity;
(iii) Psychiatrists;
(iv) Communists.
(i) Defecting Scientologists
175. Within Scientology, very
tight discipline is imposed upon its adherents. The executive agency
responsible for its enforcement is called "Ethics" which operates by
holding Ethics Courts whose sanctions are the "assignment" of a "Lower
Condition" (157) on the accused. The following is the scale (in
descending order) of the Lower Conditions, with the appropriate
penalties: -

Mr. Gaiman tells me that "all
penalties for all Lower Conditions were abolished in 1970". Here is the
source document on which he bases that statement: -

These penalty HCO PLs

This cancellation is
contemporary with the justice discovery that crime is the direct
result of a lack of a hat and training on the hat and that a hat
consists of a write up, checksheet and pack fully trained in on the
person. (See Personnel Series.)
The target of Ethics is any
neglect of org boarding or hatting and training an activity.
The motto is "Hat don't
hit".
It is also part of this
that I have concluded man cannot be trusted with justice.
The cancellation of Ethics
penalties does not cancel a failure to provide an org board or to
hat and train juniors or personnel as a Comm Ev offence nor does
this cancellation cancel Conditions Formulas. It does cancel the
penalties formerly assigned and as outlined in the cancelled Penalty

176. Until October 21st 1968, the
Condition of Enemy carried the additional penalty of "Fair Game",
described as follows: -
"May be deprived of property
or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline
of the Scientologists. May be tricked, sued or lied to or
destroyed."
177. The "Fair Game" rule,
however, caused a great deal of adverse publicity in Parliament and the
Press, and accordingly it was repealed in the following terms: -

178. It seems clear that the Fair
Game penalty, before its repeal, was not just a theoretical sanction. In
at least one case which has come to my notice, a defector from
Scientology who had risen through the ranks to a high position in the
organization was declared "Fair Game" over Mr. Hubbard's signature when
he decided to dissociate himself. Thereafter, members of the Scientology
leadership were found writing to third parties to say that the defector
had been "excommunicated for theft and perversion". Another
Scientologist, who had sued for the return of his auditing fees, found
himself the subject of a private prosecution for theft by the
Scientology leadership. Fortunately for him, he was acquitted.
179. Some idea of the
strictness of the internal discipline can be gleaned from the following:

HIGH CRIME
Recently, during the
reorganisation of WW, it came to light that in some Continental orgs
EXEC SECS an SECS had an occasion actually ordered that certain Pol
Ltrs and HCOBs were not to be followed.
This order is an illegal
order and any staff following it is guilty of executing an illegal
order.
Any executive issuing such
an order shall hereafter be considered as committing a high crime
which on proof beyond reasonable doubt constitutes a HIGH CRIME and
can carry the assignment of the Condition of TREASON for both the
person issuing the order and the person who receives and executes
it.
All such instances MUST be
reported at once to the International Ethics Officer at WW.
Failure to report such an
order to the Int E/O when one knows of it carries with it the
assignment of a Condition of Liability.
Lines for the amendment of
Policy already exist as per other Pol Ltr and until an amendment is
legally and completely passed the old policy must be followed.
HCOBs cannot be amended.

(ii) Doubters outside the fold
181. The attitude of the
Scientology leadership - and especially Mr. Hubbard - to those outside
Scientology who are unconvinced of its excellence - which must include
most of the population of the United Kingdom - is in my judgment the key
to the relationship between Scientology and the rest of society. It is
therefore worth quoting at length from the internal Scientology
documents which lay down policy on the subject, and I do so here: -

Anyone proposing an
investigation of or an "Enquiry" into Scientology must
receive this reply and no other proposal:
"We welcome an
investigation into (Mental Healing or whoever is attacking us)
as we have begun one ourselves and find shocking evidence."
You can elaborate on the
evidence we have found and lay it on thick attacking the attackers
only.
NEVER agree to an
investigation of Scientology. ONLY agree to an investigation of the
attackers
This was the BIG error made
in Victoria. I Okayed an Enquiry into all Mental healing. I
ordered evidence on psychiatric murders to be collected.
Non-compliance with these orders brought on the loss of Melbourne
and the law in Victoria against Scientology. This was the
non-compliance that began it. The original order I gave was relayed
as "we welcome an Enquiry into Scientology . . ." or it was changed
to that in Melbourne.
This is correct procedure:
(1) Spot who is attacking
us.
(2) Start investigating
them promptly for FELONIES or worse using own professionals, not
outside agencies.
(3) Double curve our
reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
(4) Start feeding
lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to the
press.
Don't ever
tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on
attackers all the way.
You can get "reasonable
about it" and lose. Sure we break no laws. Sure we have nothing to
hide. BUT attackers are simply an anti-Scientology propaganda
agency so far as we are concerned They have proven they want no
facts and will only lie no matter what they discover. So BANISH all
ideas that any fair hearing is intended and start our attack with
their first breath. Never wait Never talk about us - only them. Use
their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. Don't use us.
I speak from 15 years of
experience in this There has never yet been an attacker who was not
reeking with crime. All we had to do was look for it and
murder would come out.
They fear our Meter. They
fear freedom. They fear the way we are growing. Why?
Because they have too much
to hide.
When you use that
rationale you win. When you go dishwater and say "we honest chickens
just plain love to have you in the coop, Brer Fox," we get
clobbered. The right response is "We militant public defenders of
the freedom of the people want that there Fox investigated for
eating living chickens!" Shift the spotlight to them. No matter how.
Do it!
You can elaborate on the
formula. Let's say some other branch of government wants to
investigate us via the press Just apply the formula:
"We welcome a public
enquiry into (that branch activity) as we already have begun to
investigate their (...)."
It will always work. It even
would have worked on the U.S. F.D.A. when they first began five
years before their raid on DC. They run! And that's all we want.
HOW TO STOP ATTACKS
The way we will eventually
stop all attacks from there on out is by processing the society as
follows:
(l) Locate a source of
attack on us.
(2) Investigate it.
(3) Expose it with wide
lurid publicity.
You see the same thing in a
preclear. He has a rotten spot in his behaviour. He attacks the
practitioner. The spot is located on a meter. It blows and the
preclear relaxes.
Well this is just
what is happening in the society. We are a practitioner to the
society. It has rotten spots in it. Those show up in attacks an us.
We investigate and expose - the attack ceases.
We use investigators
instead of E-Meters. We use newspapers instead of auditor reports.
But it's the same problem exactly.
So long as we neglect our
role as auditor-to-the-society we will be attacked.
Society is pretty crazy.
It's a raw jungle. So it will take a lot of work. We must be willing
to put in that work as a group or we'll be knocked about.
Remember, CHURCHES ARE
LOOKED UPON AS REFORM GROUPS.
Therefore we must
act like a reform group.
The way to seize the
initiative is to use our own professionals to investigate
intensively parts of the society that may attack us. Get an
ammunition locker full. Be sure of our facts. And then expose via
the press.
If we do this right, press,
instead of trying to invent reasons to attack us will start hanging
around waiting for our next lurid scoop.
We must convert
from an attacked group to a reform group that attacks rotten spots
in the society. We should not limit ourselves to mental healing or
own line. We should look for groups to investigate and blow the lid
off and become known as a mightly [sic]
reform group. We object to slavery, oppression, torture, murder,
perversion, crime, political sin and anything that makes Man unfree.
The only error we can make
is disperse our investigation. We do a preliminary look, then we
must select a target and investigate it until we have the cold facts
and then BANG, fire the salvo.
Don't worry about libel if
our facts indicate rottenness. The last thing that target will do is
sue as then we would have a chance to prove it in court, which
they are terrified of our doing.
Remember - the only reason
we are in trouble with the press or government is that we are not
searching out and exposing rotten spots in the society. We must
practice on the whole group called society. If we do not it will
attack us just as preclear will attack a Scientologist that won't
audit him.
To get wholly over to cause we
must select targets, investigate and expose before they
attack us.
We have at this writing a
long way to go. But we might as well start somewhere. Begin by
investigating any attacking group, find and expose the dead bodies.
Then work on to our selecting the targets.
And that will handle it
all.

ATTACKS ON SCIENTOLOGY
(Continued)
(This Pol Ltr Augments HCO
Pol Ltr of
19 Feb 66, Attacks on Scientology)
Gen Non-Remimeo
Exec Sec Hats
HCO Area Sec Hats
Legal Hat
Section 5 Hats
When you hold up an image
of freedom, all those who oppress freedom tend to attack. Therefore
attacks, on whatever grounds, are inevitable. Holding up a freedom
image is however the only successful forward action even though it
gets attacked.
It remains then to take the
handling of attacks off emergency, predict them and handle them by
proper tactics and administrative machinery.
The first group of actions
have not been effective in handling attacks:
(The G stands for Group,
the following are 3 different Groups of actions):
G 1.1. Hiring expensive
outside professional firms;
G.1.2. Writing
Scientologists to write their representatives in government;
G 1.3. Advertising the
attack to the Scientology "field";
G.1.4. Being carefully
legal in our utterances.
This Second Group of Actions
has been of some small use in deterring attacks:
G.2.1. Direct letters from
the org to a Congress of Parliament (ruined the U.S. Siberia
Bill);
G.2.2. Circulating
pamphlets about the attack (got rid of Wearne out of the
[Victoria] Enquiry);
G.2.3. Suits against
sources of libel and slander;
The Third Group of Actions
have been positive in stopping attacks:
G.3.1. Investigating
noisily the attackers,
G.3.2. Not being guilty
of anything;
G.3.3. Having our
corporate status in excellent condition;
G.3.4. Having our tax
returns and books accurate and punctual;
G.3.5. Getting waivers
from all people we sign up;
G.3.6. Refunding money
to dissatisfied people;
G.3.7. Having our own
professionals firmly on staff (but not halfway on staff);
G.3.8. Going on
advertising total freedom;
G.3.9. Surviving and
remaining solvent by stepping up our own usual activities;
G.3.10. By catching the
dropped balls goofed by others and hired professionals,
G.3.11. Being religious
in nature and corporate status.
As you read over the above you
should be able to see where our funds should be placed.
In the first group you can
see large possible outlays to professional firms attorneys,
accountants. This is money utterly wasted. They flop and we have to
do it all ourselves anyway. The fantastic cash cost of mailings to
Scientologists was evident in DC where it ate up all their "freedom
funds". Any by advertising the attack to Scientologists we only
frighten them away from the org and lose our income as well. So we
must never do these three things.
The second group above are
not very costly and constitute a proper line of defense and should
be undertaken. But they must not be counted on to do more
than impede an attack. They will never stop it cold. This second
group is like an infantry defensive action. It is necessary to
oppose the enemy but just opposing will not finally win the fight.
That is done only by taking enemy territory.
The third group contains
the real area for the outlay of funds and stress of planning. This
group has an excellent history and has ended off a great many
attacks beginning in 1950. Therefore one should take care not to
leave any of these out whenever an attack is mounted on us.
INVESTIGATION
It is a curious phenomenon
that the action of investigation alone is head and shoulders above
all other actions.
This is most like Scientology
processing, oddly enough, where the practitioner seeks the hidden
points in a case. As soon as they are found the case tends to
recover, regardless of anything else done.
Groups that attack us are
to say the least not sane. According to our technology this means
they have hidden areas and disreputable facts about them.
As soon as we begin to look
for these, some of the insanity dissipates.
It is greatly in our
favour that we are only attacked by mad groups as people in that
condition (1) invariably choose the wrong target and (2) have no
follow-through. Thus they are not hard to defeat providing one (A)
looks for their hidden crimes and (B) is irreproachable in his
conduct himself .
We discovered this more or
less by accident. The basic discovery was that the interrogation of
a policeman produces a confusion and an introversion; it is his
job to interrogate - so you reverse the flow, mix up his "hat" so he
doesn't know who is which, and you reach for his own doubt.
These people who attack
have secrets. And hidden crimes. They are afraid. There is no doubt
in their minds as to our validity or they wouldn't attack so hard at
such cost. Society tolerates far worse than we are. So they really
believe in us. This hampers their execution of orders - their
henchmen really don't share the enthusiasm for the attack for after
a bit of investigation it becomes obvious to these henchmen that the
attack smells. This impedes follow through.
And when we
investigate, all this recoils on the attacker. He withdraws too
hurriedly to be orderly.
An attacker is like a
housewife who tells City Hall how terribly her neighbours keep
house. But when you open her door, the dishpans and dirty
diapers fall out on the porch.
All you have to do in lots
of cases is just say you are going to rattle their door knob
and they collapse.
I can count several heavy
attacks which folded up by our noisily beginning an investigation of
the attacker.
Our past liability in this
was that we depended on outside firms, enquiry agencies, etc. And
these have too many clients and we have too little control of their
direction. The answer is to organize and maintain our own proper
corps for this action.

PUBLIC INVESTIGATION
SECTION
The Public Investigation
Section is formed in Division l, Dept 3, as Section 5.
The purpose of this section
is:
"TO HELP LRH INVESTIGATE
PUBLIC MATTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHICH SEEM TO IMPEDE HUMAN
LIBERTY SO THAT SUCH MATTERS MAY BE EXPOSED AND TO FURNISH
INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED IN GUIDING THE PROGRESS OF SCIENTOLOGY".
When an organization has lS0
on staff this section must be formed. Until that time it
should be formed in Continental organizations responsible for the
general good of Scientology on that continent.
It is composed wholly of
professional investigators. Agencies may not be used.
Personnel for this section
is advertised for in classified columns, giving only our phone
number, and are called in for personnel review by Dept l and Dept
14.
Great care must be taken in
selecting such personnel as to past experience and an E-Meter check
that is completely valid must be passed by the applicant regarding
his purposes. A high or low tone arm or an undesirable needle
reaction flunks the applicant. The question regarding the applicant
being sent there by some other hostile agency must be passed without
any question of doubt.
The applicant is given
nominal pay and expenses on actual receipts only until he or she has
a proven statistic at which time better pay may be given.
The investigator is
detailed only to specific projects as laid down by Worldwide and
these must always concern broad public matters that are reacting on
Scientology and strictly in accordance with the purpose of this
section. In this way investigation serves as processing at public
level.
The section may never be
used on Ethics Section matters but may work with Ethics when an
ex-Scientologist is involved.
The section has nothing to
do with dispersed investigation of isolated cases. It may only work
on matters relating to groups and individuals who are part of those
groups.
The statistic of the
section is dual consisting of the number of cases successfully
investigated on specific projects and the number of derogatory news
stories appearing that week related to enemies of Scientology
related to a specific project. The statistic of each individual
investigator is the number of cases personally investigated to a
completed useful report. These are reported to the HCO Advisory
Committee and graphed each week. Production of the section is the
number of cases in a project processed.
It will be seen that the
section has all the useful functions of an intelligence and
propaganda agency. It finds the data and sees that it gets action.
The determination of what a
project is is simple - what agency or group is attacking
Scientology? As Scientology stands for freedom, those who don't want
freedom tend to attack it. The Section investigates the attacking
group's individual members and sees that the results of the
investigation get adequate legal action and publicity.
The mechanism employed is
very straightforward. We never use the data to threaten to expose.
We simply collect it and expose.
Experience with the section
will show that very sordid motives lie behind such attacks and that
individuals of the attacking groups have a very great deal to hide.
Thus the section always has a huge quantity of matters to be
discovered and is not likely to run out of cases to investigate,
providing only that it does not depart from this formula:
(1) Note what public or
private group is attacking Scientology.
(2) Get a project
warrant from the Advisory Council Area or WW to investigate it.
(3) Collect as many
case histories as possible on the individuals of that group,
specializing on those that can be led to criminal prosecution by
state or world agencies.
(4) See that enough of
the data is made available to the state or world agencies to
obtain convictions.
(5) See that excellent
press coverage is given the disclosures over as long a period of
time as possible.
(6) See that HCO and
Scientology are given full credit for protecting human rights
and liberty.
If there is no variation in
the above formula and if serious departures or private vendettas do
not enter in, and if all evidence continues to be honest and none of
it framed, the section and Scientology will prosper.
----------
All investigators, once they
have passed their rigorous screening and have been employed, may
look over the organization, its papers and files and satisfy
themselves that we ourselves are not trying to hide anything and are
exactly what we say we are and do exactly what we say we do.
Operating from this
platform of confidence, the investigator can be much more effective.
Successfully experiencing
Scientology processing can heighten the confidence even further.
PROCEDURES
Standard intelligence
procedures are used.
The section has a file for
each project and files by names of individuals within that project.
The names are cross indexed, etc.
Public solicitation for
cases of injury to the rights or liberty concerned with that project
can obtain leads.
Every project should be the
subject of a case form made up to contain details necessary for
filing and follow up.
Anyone writing in a
complaint is then sent a copy of the form to fill in so that the
vital data can be weeded out and the importance of that complaint
seen at a glance. The pattern of the form is based on the data
needful to get a conviction.
Such a form is always sent
back with a covering letter stating it is all in confidence, etc.,
making the plaintiff feel safer in answering.
However lists of names of
plaintiffs are procured, each becomes the subject of a filled form.
The more fruitful of such
forms are followed up by individual investigators. These obtain the
data necessary for a conviction of the individual complained about
who is a member of the attacking group.
Only copies are ever given
state agencies or the police. Originals are always held.
The usual precautions
against libel, slander and false arrest are taken. Projects must be
studied for legal liabilities by the Legal Section before being
commenced upon. But no project may be stopped by the Legal Section -
their whole function is to find how to make it safe.
No act which will make an
investigator liable to criminal prosecution may be ordered."

ENQUIRY RUMOUR UK
1. The "news" that some
lord [Lord Balniel] is "going to ask a question in the House as to
why the Health Minister here does not conduct an Enquiry into
Scientology like in Melbourne" as published in the "News of the
World" which we are sueing gives us this planning.
2. First, it isn't anything
to worry about.
3. Melbourne went awry
because it was a non-compliance. Hemery gave the Melbourne Office
permission to agree to an Enquiry. I okayed only this: That we agree
into an Enquiry into all mental Health services and
activities. This was the order. Hemery or Williams narrowed it to
Scientology only.
4. Obviously we could have
had a ball and put psychiatry on trial for murder, mercy killing,
sterilization, torture, and sex practices and could have wiped out
psychiatry's good name.
5. That went wrong and
Melbourne wouldn't follow any other order either. So it was a mess.
6. If we are ever so
involved again we demand one or all mental healing activities
including psychiatry and demand it loudly. And lead them up the path
to slaughter.
7. Planning would be If
any more is heard of this:
(1) Mary Sue will write a
letter for the Chaplain to all members of Parliament and have it
photolithoed and if it hots up mail it to all members of
Parliament.
(2) Get a detective on
that lord's past to unearth the tid-bits. They're there.
(3) Stress sex and
blood in psychiatry and collect data and mount an all out attack
in the press on psychiatry, so that "Mental Health" sees that
they are going to get hurt and will cool off.
(4) If an Enquiry after
all OCCURS and we are pulled in, we try only Melbourne's
illegalities all over again (not their transcript) and try
psychiatry only. We refuse to discuss or describe Scientology.
As near as we come is "Well Scientology isn't like Psychiatry.
In psychiatry they think adultery is a cure for ..............".
You get it. Curve every answer with answers that MAKE LURID
PRESS TO PSYCHIATRY'S COST. Papers by policy only want blood and
sex - so give them Psychiatry's and they'll print it. Further
couple the words Psychiatry and Capitalism - allege that
Psychiatry is the Capitalist tool (a Conservative opened the
attack in the UK) and found the press beating the drum for us.
(5) Refuse to let the
enemy introduce Melbourne transcripts as suits are in progress -
"sub-judice". Use only Melbourne illegalities.
8. Remember these things - we
won against the FDA. We are winning on US tax. We have caught the
ball on UK tax. Part of our trouble is that we're an up statistic
and governments are SP and strike at all rising statistics. (See
Income Tax scales of tax; as your wage rises the penalty percentage
rises.)
9. The Melbourne staff set
up a nice new org in Adelaide and other states in Australia
are revolted at Victoria.
10. The US is clean operating
ground.
11. And England's
Parliament is not about to pass or even introduce law barring
religion or philosophy. After all these aren't ex-convicts.
12. These flurries can be
expected. Plan for them and handle.
13. This is nothing
compared to what will happen when we start taking SPs out of the
government. They are rightly afraid.
14. So don't you be.
Tomorrow belongs to us. Inevitably there are bumps in the road.

HCO EXECUTIVE LETTER OF
5 SEPTEMBER 1966
Remimeo
To: Scientologists
From: Ron
Subject: How to do a NOISY Investigation.
Further to HCO Executive
Letter of 3 August 1966, Cathy Gogerly, HCC Area Sec, Adelaide,
Australia, has given details of how to go about dealing with
attackers of Scientology.
" ... Here's what you do.
Soon as one of these
threats starts you get a Scientologist or Scientologists
to investigate noisily.
You find out where he
or she works or worked, doctor, dentist, friends,
neighbours, anyone, and 'phone 'em up and say, "I am
investigating Mr/Mrs .......... for criminal activities as
he/she has been trying to prevent Man's freedom and is
restricting my religious freedom and that of my friends and
children, etc".
You say now and then,
"I have already got some astounding facts," etc., etc.
(Use a generality.) It doesn't matter if you don't get
much info. Just be NOISY - it's very odd at first, but
makes fantastic sense and WORKS. (Honestly, you feel a
real dill, its [sic] so reverse to all detective work.)
You will find that
Scientologists will come rushing forward with 90 per cent of
your facts anyway. (They are never from auditing
sessions.) Scientologists are really terribly ethical.
Best and love,
Cathy."

182. It is evidently no
coincidence that, a few months before these directives were written, the
Anderson Board had occasion to comment that
"from time to time attempts
were made by the Scientology interests to widen the scope of the
Inquiry into a general investigation of the medical profession, or
more particularly into the practices of psychiatry and psychology,
in an endeavour, it would seem, to deflect attention from
Scientology by attacking orthodox practices of medicine." (160)
nor that the Ontario Committee on
the Healing Arts found it necessary to report that: (161)
"The next response of the
Scientologists was to loose a volley of highly offensive Press
releases during the month of November 1968, attacking individual
members of the Committee, accusing at least one member of "crimes",
impugning the motives of the Committee, accusing the Committee of
conducting an "Inquisition" and charging that the Committee's
investigation was "outrageous", "dangerous", and a "fast route to
fascism".
Such tactics, as we later
learned, are regarded in many jurisdictions as characteristic of the
Church of Scientology. It is their normal practice to attack any
individual or organization which attempts to investigate the Church
of Scientology."
I also observe that, of the whole
of the written submissions put in by the Scientologists to the Inquiry
now being held in South Africa, nearly 400 pages are devoted to "The
Nature of the Attack on Scientology" whereas "The Nature of Scientology"
is covered in 62, and "Organisation, Advertising, Ethics and Finance" in
13.
183. Nor is the expression of
this policy confined to internal directives with restricted circulation.
The following article, for example, appeared over Mr. Hubbard's
facsimile signature in Vol. l6, No. 3 (162) of Certainty, a
Scientology magazine: -
"CRITICS OF
SCIENTOLOGY
by L. RON HUBBARD
If Aunt Ermintrude each
night went through your change purse and extracted divers coins
without your knowledge, and then if she found you had joined a group
that could discover secrets, her immediate and passionate reaction
would be to damn the group and you as well.
If the wife were stepping
out with your best friend behind your back and one day she found you
had thoughts of joining a group that taught you people's motives and
reactions and made you understand them, she would throw a mad dog
fit to prevent your progress.
If a government were busy
making capital out of people's ignorance of economics and world
affairs and were playing a double game and a group came along and
started to make its people smarter and more knowledgeable of true
motives, that government would try to shoot every member of that
group on sight.
If a group of "scientists"
were knowingly raising the number of insane to get more
appropriation and "treatment" fees and somebody came along with the
real answer, that group would move heaven and earth to protect its
billions of rake-off.
And so individuals,
governments and "scientists" attack Scientology.
It's as simple as that. We
do not treat the sick or the insane. We break no laws. We do more
good in any ten minutes of this planet's time than the combined
efforts of all social ministries on Earth to better mankind.
Stated that way, however,
it looks pretty hopeless and even dangerous to be a Scientologist.
Except
it is totally hopeless and fatal not to be a Scientologist.
Those who are not
Scientologists are left in complete ignorance of the motives of the
dishonest. And they have no chance of personal immortality. It is as
simple as that. It is better to be endangered but with a chance than
to be condemned utterly and without one.
Those who criticize one for
being a Scientologist or make snide remarks cannot stand a personal
survey of past actions or motive. This happens to be a fortunate
fact for us. The criminal abhors daylight. And we are the daylight.
Now get this as a technical
fact, not a hopeful idea. Every time we have investigated the
background of a critic of Scientology we have found crimes for which
that person or group could be imprisoned under existing law. We do
not find critics of Scientology who do not have criminal
pasts. Over and over we prove this.
Politician A stands up on
his hind legs in a Parliament and brays for a condemnation of
Scientology. When we look him over we find crimes - embezzled funds,
moral lapses. a thirst for young boys - sordid stuff.
Wife B howls at her husband
for attending a Scientology group. We look her op and find she had a
baby he didn't know about.
Two things operate here.
Criminals hate anything that helps anyone instinctively. And just as
instinctively a criminal fights anything that may disclose his past.
Now as criminals only
compose about 20 per cent of the race, we are on the side of the
majority. This is quite true. In one country we have almost exactly
100 Scientologists for every member and supporter of psychiatry.
They make the noise because they are afraid. But we have more
general influence and more votes.
The way we handle the
situation now is simplicity itself and we are winning.
We are slowly and carefully
teaching the unholy a lesson. It is as follows: "We are not a law
enforcement agency. BUT we will become interested in the crimes of
people who seek to stop us. If you oppose Scientology we promptly
look and will find and expose your crimes. If you leave us alone we
will leave you alone".
It's very simple. Even a
fool can grasp that.
And don't underrate our
ability to carry it out.
Our business is helping
people to lead better lives. We even help those who have committed
crimes for we are not here to punish. But those who try to make life
hard for us are at once at risk.
We are only interested in
doing our job. And we are only interested in the crimes of those who
try to prevent us from doing our work.
There is no good reason to
oppose Scientology. In our game everybody wins.
And we have this technical
fact - those who oppose us have crimes to hide. It's perhaps merely
lucky that this is true. But it is true. And we handle opposition
well only when we use it.
Try it on your next critic.
Like everything else in Scientology, it works.
Sample dialogue:
George: Gwen, if you don't
drop Scientology I'm going to leave you.
Gwen: (savagely)
George! What have you been doing?
George: What do you
mean?
Gwen: Out with it.
Women? Theft? Murder? What crime have you committed?
George: (weakly) Oh,
nothing like that.
Gwen: What then?
George: I've been
holding back on my pay . . .
If you, the criticized, are
savage enough and insistent enough in your demand for the crime,
you'll get the text, meter or no meter.
Never discuss
Scientology with the critic. Just discuss his or her crimes,
known and unknown. And act completely confident that those crimes
exist. Because they do.
Life will suddenly become
much more interesting - and you'll become much less suppressed!"
(iii) Psychiatrists
184. The Scientology leadership
sees in psychiatrists an especially virulent class of enemy. It is
certainly true that psychiatrists in general have expressed no approval
of Scientology theories, and tend to regard Scientology processing as
potentially harmful, especially to unstable minds. The Scientology
leadership has reacted energetically: -
"When Hubbard says more
psychiatrists are nuts than any other section of the community, he
is stating an observable, statistical truth. The fact of the matter
is there are more psychiatrists under treatment for psychiatric
illness than any other section of the community. Physician heal
thyself. The public at large are discontented and dismayed at
current psychiatric practice and current psychiatric treatment. We
have from Australia a corrected statistical analysis of the
efficiency of current psychiatric practice and the fact of the
matter is that more people get worse under treatment than get
better.
The overwhelming majority
of psychiatrists in the western world are atheist, godless, and
against any philosophy which stands for any moral value or any
integrity of the individual as a spiritual being. A small number of
right thinking psychiatrists from the profession have tried to
obtain a reform in the dangerous ideas being advanced by the
majority of their fellows. They have even gone so far as to talk
about rackets ..." (163)
"CONCERNING ELY AND
OTHER PSYCHIATRIC DEATH CAMPS
The instigators of these
Death Camps is a private psychiatric front group of which Lord
Balniel is an officer. Kenneth Robinson was a Director of it.
Scientologists have found they instigate these Death Camps
throughout the U.S. and Commonwealth. They control large sections of
governments and attack anyone who opposes their new fascist state.
They seek the right to seize and kill any man, woman or child who
opposes them. Cecil King was one of them. He was to be the new
Hitler in England. Immigration and Health Ministries were totally
controlled by them throughout Commonwealth and U.S. Nelson
Rockefeller through his U.S. Foundation was to be the new Fuehrer in
the U.S. These people are merciless and seek destroy any opposition
with Death Camps.
The public can expect
Cardiff Hospital Staff to get sacked and blame while they were only
following orders. Lord Balniel, Kenneth Robinson Cecil King and all
the very posh overlords of this conspiracy will crucify their
henchmen to try to keep their own shirts clean. Death Camp orders
come from the very top. A psychiatrist . . ., once told me years ago
he would be sacked if he refused to follow Health Ministry orders to
torture and kill patients. He gave me the data on what was happening
in these Death Camps. When he protested his orders from superiors he
himself died, and I was never satisfied by official account of his
death. This goes to the very top of society. The names connected
with these atrocities a astonishing. This whole cancer should be dug
out and exposed to the public view before England finds herself
wholly in Fascist hands. For years they tried to strike down or
discredit anyone who knew about their Death Camps. Now it is exposed
and they are reaping the hurricane. These best people kicked Greece
out of Europe for torturing prisoners while they themselves were
running Death Camps. Now watch them try to whitewash themselves by
blaming their lowest henchmen. The same arguments were tried in the
Nuremburg Trials that they didn't know what their staffs were doing.
But they still hanged the war criminals in Germany for the same
crimes.
L. Ron Hubbard"
"STATEMENT FROM L. RON HUBBARD
Concerning attacks on
Scientology in England, sooner or later the real story will out They
can't hide the truth forever. Despite all the frantic efforts of
psychiatric press officers and thumb screw domination of certain
psychiatry controlled politicians, the story is very simple: 100,000
British Scientologists have real answers to the human mind They can
really handle mental problems. That ends the terror reign of
psychiatry and the countless millions of government funds they grab.
It threatens their greed and power. They are using every press and
politician trick they can conceive of to
1. Discredit Scientology.
2. Eradicate a writer
for writing books on the mind
3. Destroy a church.
4. Protect their
political power and their millions
On their side psychiatry
1. Hurts and kil1s people.
2. Violates all human
rights.
3. Teaches hate and
4. Indulges in almost
every crime in the penal codes.
It is a simple story of a
threatened and unworthy power seeking to destroy by any means new
research and truth. These are not civilised men. It is is up to the
world if their reign of terror ends and if true human rights begin.
Isn't it interesting that the boards of directors of their front
groups contain International Banking Directors? It is a simple story
and it will be told. Not even the most agile press officer or
government stooge can obscure the truth forever. Sooner or later the
story gets told."
"INTERESTING! . . . how
many murders take place in the locality of mental homes and
institutions. Time after time the newspaper carrying the story
mentions the fact that the local mental health institution or a
psychiatrist had been responsible for the 'treatment' administered
to the murderer. It would seem that the 'profession' of psychiatry
can't handle its patients, and doesn't mind if they run loose
murdering or killing. But then as psychiatry practises in death,
maiming and drugging, it's not very surprising. No wonder there have
been demonstrations against psychiatry down in Queen Anne Street,
London, outside the H.Q. of the National Association for Mental
Health."
"THE OPPOSITION
by
L. RON HUBBARD
I have put in quite a lot
of intensive study in the last few months on the character and
anatomy of the opposition. And I have found some amazing phenomena.
Evidently what seems to be
going on on a very broad basis in the West is a social evolution
that is not pretty.
Russian apparent [sic]
'won' World War II. She acquired 750,000,000 new population in
conquered areas. The West betrayed the expatriate governments of
these seized countries (Poland, China, Czechoslovakia etc.) and the
crime has come home to haunt them. The West finally woke up to the
fact it had an enemy not an ally.
The continual cold war
needling of Russia has pressured certain elements in Western
governments into TURNING FASCISTS.
The natural conflict of
Communism and Fascism has been pressed into being in some areas in
some Western governments.
Fascism is "Industry
operating in collusion with the military" according to the text
books.
A Fascist has certain
personality trails. He tries to obliterate minorities. He burns
books.
He seeks "legal" means to
seize any person who disagrees and hold or murder him. He does
physical experiments on people.
The Fascist has the
delusion that ideas can be crushed by force.
Such small elements in
Western governments have turned to the psychiatrist as a method of
seizing. torturing and killing people. In the U.S. Civil Defence
Manuals under "Psychology" it says the role is to notice anyone who
tries to do anything about a nuclear bombing or who is blaming the
government and seize him and put him in a stockade. No mention of
soothing the population or caring for emotional upset is made.
These fascist elements were
looked to to resist Communism and so have gained some power. They
probably don't even think of themselves as anything but "patriots".
The Communist elements are
infiltrating such areas and attacking such officials heavily.
The Western population is
overwhelmingly on the side of human rights, so these politicians are
against the stream of public opinion.
If the Communists can force
these fascist elements to act against public opinion (such as
attacking Scientology and other minorities) they can show the public
that their government has no Cause worth fighting for, that it is
destructive and mad.
This effectively turns the
people against their own governments.
----------
The stage is then set for
Communist insurgency and government overthrow.
The odd picture then greets
us when we suspect our enemies, of a fascist inner-government clique
with Communists mixed up in it.
The Fascists, lied to and
needled by Communist elements then act like mad dogs against the
wrong targets in the society, become hated by the public and no
longer find public support or obedience. The Communist is then able
to subvert the entire country by propaganda or insurgency.
----------
Communists are not attacking
us. They are stirring Fascist elements up so they will attack us.
This involved action then
causes the Fascist to look crazy. He is seen to be attacking a
minority church group which has done nothing, causes him to seize
innocent books and generally act like a Fascist.
The people see these acts
as wrong headed and the government loses credit.
Thus, when we investigate
these actions we find fascists running death camps and commies
stirring it up.
It is a pretty dizzy sort
of scene.
For 19 years we have been
demonstrating that we help people and have the first truly effective
mental technology If we won probably both the Fascist and the
Communist would lose out since both are fanatics.
----------
Our opponents are a small
clique running against the trend of the world. They will lose."
(The above quotations all
come from one issue of Freedom Scientology, undated but
with a copyright claim by Mr. Hubbard for 1969.)
"$75,000,000
Scientology organizations have
seventy five million dollars worth of suits so far filed or about to
be filed against psychiatric organizations and others over the world
in the international conspiracy against Scientology for libel,
slander, conspiracy and psychiatric efforts to destroy this Church.
This includes the sum about to be filed against the psychiatry
controlled US agencies which just lost their six year court attack
against Scientology in Washington DC. It does not include suits
against newspapers which were dropped by Scientology last autumn or
allowed to dwindle out. This huge sum was added up at a strategy
conference of Scientology legal executives just concluded in New
York. 'The suits should be easy to win' a legal spokesman said. 'We
received unexpected top level support and evidence from several
quarters, including medical doctors. The attacks were apparently an
effort to take down Scientology churches as the first move against
all churches in the west. The attack is failing because the combined
government investigatory forces urged on by psychiatry could find no
real evidence against Scientology. This has been a very costly
attack for Scientology. The attorneys at the meeting were alarmed
and horrified at some of the evidence which clearly showed the
stranglehold psychiatry and brutality have managed to get on some
elements in governments and society. There has been unbeknownst to
Scientology a hidden river of lies and false documents about
Scientology being poured out under cover for nineteen years. The
enemy even composed and mimeographed purported Scientology
literature and sent it to news agencies and governments. The suits
are very straightforward. If they all come through they will make
Scientology churches amongst the richest religious organizations.
All damage monies are tax free. The money will be used to try to
straighten out some of the horrors psychiatry has made in the field
of mental healing. Scientology is one of the most significant
advances in the humanities in this century and has been bitterly
fought by older practices'." (164)
185. One body with which
Scientology has a special quarrel is the World Federation of Mental
Health. This is an international body having as its principal object the
bringing about of improved measures of prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation in the furtherance of mental health. The Scientology
leadership's view of it may be judged from the following quotations,
taken from a memorandum delivered by them to the Attorney-General's
office in November 1968: -
"The primary problem of an
espionage saboteur unit is finance. This group has solved this by
pretending to collect contributions for "mental health" from the
public . . .
They use this money for
political ends.
----------
They get "next to" the best
people and use their names freely as a cover.
They hold or "treat" the
wives or families of many important officials.
They pretend that their
technology is far beyond the ability of laymen to understand whereas
it is simple brutality and murder . . .
They are sunk so deep into
most governments by threat, blackmail or pretenses that they believe
that they are above the law.
----------
It maintains complete
courier systems, holds meetings openly as a professional group in
various capitals.
It has involved many famous
names who are foolishly led to vouch for it and mask its actual
aims.
ORGANISATION
STRUCTURE
The pattern of the World
Federation of Mental Health is to have four or five associate groups
or affiliates in a country.
Only one of these is the
actual working group. It usually has "National" or "Mental" Health
as part of its title. These actual confederates collect funds and
act as agents provocateur.
The "National" in the title
deludes people into thinking it is government connected and
sometimes even the government is fooled. But these confederates have
no more connection with the government than the main group has with
the United Nations.
By the use of these
"connections" both the confederate and main group collect fantastic
quantities of money under false pretenses.
----------
The organisation holds
"Congresses" in various capitals yearly. These have many "closed door"
committee meetings for confederates Russian delegates routinely attend.
This makes a convenient meeting
ground for the programmes and orders.
Confederates come away with
their briefing and go to work in theircountries.
Couriers of the main
organisation are continually on the move, visiting confederates while
attending the conferences of other organisations.
----------
The U.K. Confederate member
"The National Association for Mental Health" runs its own private
institutions and specializes in the relatives and children of
aristocrats.
----------
Their actual effect on an area
is to degrade its culture and suborne [sic] its government.
Their aims, even the visible
ones, are mainly political. They maintain a close hold on certain
members of parliament who speak for them.
----------
A constantly recurring
political target is their "Siberia" bill which once passed half through
the U.S. Congress and is routinely offered.
By its terms any citizen in the
country can be picked up, deprived of civil rights, tortured and killed
in a remote stockade. A million acres in Alaska was being set up for
this in the 1950s. The bill is currently being offered again in New
Zealand.
In operation they act like an
intelligence group. They infiltrate with agents, they use agents
provocateur press tactics, they use couriers. they have a heavy false
cover in the "UN" and "National" groups.
Opponents are blackmailed into
compliance or hounded or picked up as "insane" and killed or
depersonalized.
Their "cures" consist of brain
"operations", electric shock and convulsive drugs. These were early
Russian secret police methods. The largest test of this subject is
Russian.
----------
Only a scholar would know that
these "treatments" are peculiar to intelligence activities.
----------
THE UK ORGANIZATION OF THE WFMH
Several famous deaths and
incidents trace back to persons in the hands of members of this group.
The Texas tower gunman's entire plan (to go into the U of Texas high
tower and kill people with a rifle) was known to a member of this
group's associates but was not prevented by him and he informed no-one.
Such assassinations and
incidents are beyond the scope of purely business investigations.
But it seems in many major incidents an assassin was just before the
act in the hands of a member of this group. The group spokesmen
explain it all away very glibly, saying "he was insane so of course
he was in the hands of a group member". Coincidence is however too
frequent.
Even the defection of the
two British government officials (Burgess and McLane [sic for
McLean]) traces to a member of this group in Washington D.C.
----------
The central control of all
such activities is now fully and newly concentrated in England ....
All attacks on Scientology
lead directly to this "National" group in England. The "National"
group leads to their "World" group. The World group confederates are
the whole authors of all attacks on Scientology in other countries.
And the full current programme originated at the "World" group's
last congress in London in the summer of l968.
One could assume innocent
rivalry except that the "World" group pretends and collects money
under false pretences that it does illegally murder "patients", that
numerous national or public crimes trace back to its practitioners
and that the wives or families of too many politicians are in their
hands.
It might be wise to call in
the military on this matter as they are well trained in purely
intelligence matters and may themselves have evidence hitherto not
related or co-ordinated. And also, it might be doubly wise as public
commotion has already begun on this subject".
186. At about the same time, the
Scientologists attempted to take over the National Association for
Mental Health, a U.K. body which is affiliated to the World Federation
of Mental Health, by joining it in large numbers, with the object of
voting a majority of Scientologists on to its Council. The Association
responded by refusing to enrol any more members before the relevant
annual general meeting, and expelling 302 members thought, or reasonably
suspected, to be Scientologists, including the seven newly joined
members who were being put forward for the Council. Eight of the
Scientologists concerned retaliated by seeking an injunction to restrain
the Association from holding its Annual General Meeting without them,
and a declaration that the excluded members were still members. These
applications were dismissed by the Chancery Division of the High Court
on 25th March 1970.
(iv) Communists
187. Some of the Scientology
leadership's hostility towards Communism will already have appeared from
the quotations relating to psychiatry. But the main attack proceeds by a
different method, namely the dissemination of a booklet called
"Brain-washing; a Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics".
This purports to be "a synthesis of information gathered through
observation, discussion, investigation and experience" over the ten
years to 1955 by a Mr. Charles Stickley, a follower of Dianetics in New
York City. No indication is given of how it was leaked from such a
high-security context, and I am unable to judge its authenticity, for
which even Mr. Stickley says he "cannot entirely vouch". Its style
resembles more that of Mr. Hubbard than that of the Marxist-Leninist
phraseology standard in Soviet official literature. A few quotations
must suffice here: -
"AN ADDRESS BY BERIA
American students at the
Lenin University, I welcome your attendance at these classes on
Psychopolitics.
Psychopolitics is an
important if less known division of Geo-politics. It is less known
because it must necessarily deal with highly educated personnel, the
very top strata of "Mental healing".
By psychopolitics our chief
goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum of chaos
in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our
fruits are grow in chaos, distrust, economic depression and
scientific turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in
our offered Communist State, at last only Communism can resolve the
problems of the masses.
A psychopolitician must
work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of "mental
healing". He must recruit and use all the agencies and facilities of
"mental healing". He must labour to increase the personnel and
facilities of "mental healing" until at last the entire field of
mental science is entirely dominated by Communist principles and
desires." (164)
"With the institutions for
the insane you have in your country prisons which can hold a million
persons and can hold them without civil rights or any hope of
freedom. And upon these people can be practised shock and surgery so
that never again will they draw a sane breath. You must make these
treatments common and accepted. And you must sweep aside and
treatment or any group of persons seeking to treat by effective
means.
You must dominate as
respected men the fields of psychiatry and psychology. You must
dominate the hospitals and universities. You must carry forward the
myth that only a European doctor is competent in the field of
insanity and thus excuse amongst you the high incidence of foreign
birth and training. If and when we seize Vienna you shall have then
a common ground of meeting and can come and take your instructions
as worshippers of Freud along with other psychiatrists." (165)
"THE ORGANIZATION OF
MENTAL HEALTH
CAMPAIGNS
Psychopolitical operatives
should at all times be alert to the opportunity to organize "for the
betterment of the community" mental health clubs or groups. By thus
inviting the co-operation of the population as a whole in mental
health programmes, the terrors of mental aberration can be
disseminated throughout the populace. Furthermore, each one of these
mental health groups, properly guided, can bring, at last,
legislative pressure against the government to secure adequately the
position of the psychopolitical operative, and to obtain for him
government grants and facilities, thus bringing a government to
finance its own downfall.
Mental health organizations
must carefully delete from their ranks anyone actually proficient in
the handling or treatment of mental health. Thus must be excluded
priests, ministers, actually trained psychoanalysts, good
hypnotists, or trained Dianeticists." (166)
"If he has not done his
work well, hostile feeling groups may expose an individual
psychopolitician. These may call into question the efficacy of
psychiatric treatment such as shock, drugs, and brain surgery.
Therefore, the psychopolitical operative must have to hand
innumerable documents which asssert enormously encouraging figures
on the subject of recovery by reason of shock, brain surgery, drugs,
and general treatment. Not one of these cases cited need be real,
but they should be documented and printed in such a fashion as to
form excellent court evidence." (167)
"Recruitment into the ranks
of "mental healing" can best be done by carefully bringing to it
only those healing students who are, to some slight degree, already
depraved, or who have been "treated" by psychopolitical operatives.
Recruitment is effected by
making the field of mental healing very attractive, financially, and
sexually.
The amount of promiscuity
which can be induced in mental patients can work definitely to the
advantage of the psychopolitical recruiting agent. The dupe can thus
be induced into many lurid sexual contacts, and these, properly
witnessed, can thereafter be used as blackmail material to assist
any failure of pain-drug hypnosis in causing him to execute orders.
The promise of unlimited
sexual opportunities, the promise of complete dominion over the
bodies and minds of helpless patients, the promise of complete
lawlessness without detection, can thus attract to "mental healing"
many desirable recruits who will willingly fall in line with
psychopolitical activities." (168)
188. One matter must be explained
in connection with this curious document, and that is that its first two
pages are now a matter of Congressional record in the United States of
America, a fact of which the Scientology leadership makes much play.
What they do not add - and what may not be known to most people who are
more familiar with English than with American Parliamentary practice -
is that any document can be "read into the record" in the United States
by any Congressman who says he wants it to be, if none of his colleagues
object. Its mere appearance there is therefore no indication by itself
of the authenticity of the document or the truth of its contents.
189. Perhaps this is also a
suitable place to quote the following: -
"EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE
ED 1040 INT
FRANCHISE .. . Suggested
plan for an area.
15th April, 1968.
A plan for setting up
Scientology in businesses and taking responsibility for this area.
1. Take a business that is
already doing fairly well on the basis that you reward the
up-stat.
2. Approach the highest
executive and disseminate Scientology to him. Offer to make his
business make more money for him at no cost to him. Your two
demands:
(a) Total
Control of the business during the time you're operating
within the organization.
(b) 50 per
cent of the additional profit your actions will produce.
3. Next action is to put
in Ethics. Locate the SP's in the org and fire them.
4. Audit the Execs ...
show them what its all about. This will then start the cycle of
getting in tech in the organization. Execs will push their
juniors and other staff to have auditing. Start in the
organization would be interested anyway as a result of
suppressives out of the way thereby making the environment a
safer place to work in ... seeing Scientologists in operation
... and also seeing the case gains on their seniors.
5. Admin: Set up
Central org board and get organization worked out on this
system. Comm system, comm stations, hat write ups.
Result of above will be that
organization will get smaller staff-wise as putting in the org board
will show up what posts etc. are dev-t and can be disbanded. Also
any additional SP's or PTS's will have blown off staff as a result
of ethics, tech and admin going in. All this - much increased
production - expansion - Gross income increase.
You would approach the
executive of the organization with a copy of some of our production
graphs as evidence, etc. You would do this alone. When moving into
the organization to set it up, you would take as many people as
needed, depending upon the size of the org, to set this up.
Naturally each person would be thoroughly expertised on the area he
was handling.
