SCIENTOLOGY'S PUBLIC POSITION Particularly worth remembering while you read this section are the relentlessly repeated words of Scientology's executives, Scientology's public relations people, Scientology's $200-$500 per hour attorneys, Scientology's front groups and Scientology's undercover operatives. After you have finished this particular appendix whenever you hear these words again you will be well qualified to judge their truth, their purpose, and the real or hidden affiliation and loyalties of the person delivering these messages. "A small group of Scientologists ran amok in the 1970's, the church has since cleaned house." "Current leaders admit (old leaders) were out of control." "We are a changed and new organization. The church is trying to mend relations." "The allegations of brainwashing, harassment, and other 'fair game'" tactics that the civil plaintiffs cite today in tort claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress -- and the similar allegations in Behar's article -- are baseless attacks on First Amendment protected religious practices." "The strident propaganda fostered by civil plaintiffs and their counsel are repetitive time and time again on matters of such ancient history as have no relevance to the present time." "... The church is being harassed with fictitious allegations designed to extort money," growls Cooley (one of their lead attorneys), who derides the propaganda of plaintiffs." "Documents recently obtained from the IRS and the FBI seem to vindicate some of the paranoia of the church leaders in the late 70's, apparently showing that the church was improperly targeted by several government agencies for special investigations." "Wollersheim had alleged that the church's fair game harassment tactics and coercive religious practices, such as auditing, exacerbated an existing mental illness." "But what is certain is what is symptomatic of the paranoia displayed ... by most of the 65 lawyers, judges, and litigants interviewed for this article ... opposing (litigants) and counsel see Scientology behind every untoward occurrence in their lives, from near misses on the freeway to hangup phone calls ..." Quote? As you read the following materials also please carefully consider the questions: 1.) Are these the type of activities you meant millions of your tax dollars to protect under the special First Amendment legal protections, privileges and immunities given to legitimate non profit, humanitarian, tax free, and charitable religious organizations? 2.) Are these actions used against Scientology's adversaries being applied as strategic actions (sometimes lawsuits) to inhibit public participation in the remedial purposes of the justice system and government, the very reason behind the new SLAPP laws. Attack, overwhelm, deception, Fair Game and attack the enemy's plans. The five overriding strategies that permeate all of Scientology's other adversarial strategies. Before going over the specific past and ongoing examples of Scientology's true actions and policies toward its adversaries it is necessary to cover a brief overview of the four overriding strategies that appear in greater or lesser degrees in and behind all Scientology actions directed at its enemies. The best way to understand them is to go directly to the source of these action directing and demanding policies. From the writings of L. Ron Hubbard: "The purpose of a lawsuit is to harass and discourage rather than to win ... Don't ever defend. Always attack. Find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace. Originate a black PR campaign to destroy the person's repute and to discredit them so thoroughly they will be ostracized. Be alert to sue for slander at the slightest chance so as to discourage the public presses from mentioning Scientology." "It is my specific intention that by the use of professional PR [black PR] tactics any opposition not only be dulled but permanently eradicated." From a confidential Board Policy Letter of 30 May 1974 Handling Hostile Agents/Dead Agenting. "Threat and mystery are the lot of intelligence." From HCO Policy Letter of 11 May 1971. "The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, will knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly." From "A Manual on the Dissemination of Material" (1955) by L. Ron Hubbard. The U.S. is a country where the loser of a lawsuit does not pay all the costs of the winner. A wealthy party's or corporation's ability to "bury" the average citizen in prohibitive legal costs as a method to delay, defeat and discourage legitimate and socially correctional lawsuits, destroys the delicate balance and important purposes of our justice system. Such legal brutality helps wealthy parties unfairly avoid potential convictions or liability. This is especially harmful in situations involving malicious, oppressive, and outrageous behavior where the individual or organization is wealthy. The costs of this new type of "legal" brutality becomes just another normal or acceptable cost of "doing business as usual." A worst case scenario is formed when the individual or organization is wealthy AND is unfairly and illegitimately abusing the special First Amendment legal protections, privileges, and immunities given to legitimate non profit, humanitarian, tax free, and charitable religious organizations. "NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology. ONLY agree to investigate the attackers ... This is the correct procedure: (1) Spot who is attacking us. (2) Start investigating them for FELONIES or worse, using our 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 submit tamely to an investigation of us. Make it rough on the attackers all the way ... You can get 'reasonable about it' and lose ... 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." -- From HCO policy letter of 25 Feb. 1966, "Attacks on Scientology." Scientology has put these and its famous "fair game" policies into action throughout its history to remove any obstacles to its advancement. "An enemy, [they] may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist ... may be tricked, sued, lied to, or destroyed." From the words of L. Ron Hubbard in HCO policy letter of 18 October 1967, known as the "Fair Game Policy." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] RACKET EXPOSED PETER GOODWIN JIM STATHIS POLLY STATHIS PETER KNIGHT MRS.

Ron Hubbard, Founder ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The danger of the fair game policy is obvious but the compassionlessness it produces toward its intended victims is highlighted in an HCO policy letter of 25 December 1965. It is in many ways similar to what was said about the Jews in Nazi Germany to promote violence against them. "A suppressive person becomes fair game. By fair game is meant may not be further protected by the codes and disciplines of Scientology ... They cannot be granted the rights and beingness ordinarily accorded rational beings and so place themselves beyond any consideration for their feelings or well being ... The homes, property, places, abodes of persons who have been active in attempting to suppress Scientology are all beyond the protection of Scientology ethics." These policies have been continually used to frame, smear, or attempt to intimidate or blackmail "suppressive persons." Judges who had ruled against Scientology's position are an excellent example. These would include Judge Jones, Oregon, 1981; Judge Graae, U.S.D.C., 1976, Judge Brown, Cal. Sup. Ct., 1976; Judge Krentzman, U.S.D.C., Florida, 1976; Justice K. Skelly Wright, D.C., 1974; Judge Ritchey, D.C.D.C. 1979. (After reading evidence document #8592 below which clearly reveals the core heart and nature of the secret Scientology to get the specific details on Scientology's history of attacks on judges, see the two newspaper articles "Prior Sect Try at Judge Reported" and "Scientology's War Against Judges" at the end of this section.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] Document #8592 consists of several pages of actual Scientology training drills on ways to discredit/smear opponents. On this page, the targets are a government employee, a psychiatrist, a newspaper executive and a Catholic bishop. Drill ____________: Recognizing basic effectiveness of plans. Take into account effectiveness, security, legality, workability, etc. when making your decisions. Chose which basic plan is best. a. General scene: person to restrain/remove, Mr. Jones, employee in local govt. agency attacking the Org. 1. Order hundreds of dollars worth of liquor in Jones's name and have it delivered to his home to cause him trouble and make the liquor store owner dislike him. 2. Call up Jones's boss and accuse Jones of being a homosexual. 3. Send Jones's boss evidence of Jones accepting bribes on his job, with copies to police and local FBI. b. General scene: a psychiatrist who has instigated attacks on the org via police and press. 1. Expose his Nazi background to the press with evidence that he still attends local Nazi meetings. 2. Wake him up every night by calling him on the phone and threatening him. 3. Send an FSM in to be a patient of his for a year to disperse the psych during sessions. c. General scene: a newspaper executive Clyde McDonald who's behind local attacks. 1. poison him while he's asleep so he'll never start another attack. 2. Make known to the paper's owner that McDonald is responsible for the paper's decreasing advertising revenues. 3. Spread a rumor around to the paper's employees that McDonald is a communist. 4. Put itching powder in McDonald's clothes so he'll scratch himself all day, thus preventing him from writing a story. d: General scene: a grammar school teacher who got an applied scholastics grant canceled and is continuing to cause trouble for ASI in other schools. 1. Cleverly kidnap her and run reverse processes on her while implanting the phrase, "I will never attack ASI again, I love ASI." 2. Get copies of the court records where she was found guilty of child molesting and send a copy to the school principal, board of education, and a few school children's parents. 3. Send a male FSM in on her who, after she falls in love with him, will get her to move out of the country with him. 4. Pay ten of her students to write dirty phrases about her on the schoolroom blackboard. e. General scene: a local Catholic bishop is causing many local attacks on the org. 1. Send several FSMs over to the Catholic church to swear at him in confessionals. 2. Connect him up to abortion and/or pornographic activities. 3. Write the Pope an anonymous letter stating that the bishop is really a rabbi under cover. 4. Spread a rumor around town that he's against air pollution. f.

The right things to do with any threat are to (1) Find out if we want to play the offered game or not, (2) If not to derail the offered game with a feint or attack upon the most vulnerable point which can be disclosed in the enemy ranks, (3) Make enough threat or clamor to cause the enemy to quail, (4) Don't try to get any money out of it, (5) Make every attack on us also sell Scientology and (6) Win. If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace. Peace is bought with an exchange of advantage, so make the advantage and then settle. Don't ever defend. Always attack. Don't ever do nothing. Unexpected attacks in the rear of the enemy's front ranks work best...." "The goal of the department [of government affairs] is to bring the government and hostile philosophies or societies into a state of complete compliance with the goals of Scientology. This is done by a high level ability to control and in its absence by a low level ability to OVERWHELM. Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies...." "The purpose of the legal officer is to help LRH [i.e., L Ron Hubbard] handle every legal, government, suit, accounting and tax contact or action for the organization and by himself or employed representative, to protect the organization and its people from harm and to bring the greatest possible confusion and loss to its enemies."

Drug Firms and Associations... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Scientology Applies Its Adversarial Strategy During my 10 years experience inside Scientology, one of their top intelligence operatives summarized the essence of their intelligence strategy for the Church of Scientology's total "Art of War," unconditional victory over any adversary. 1. Destroy any and every type of personal or financial resource the adversary could use to support their attack efforts. 2. Completely isolate the target. Isolate, destroy or "dead agent" any and every ally or alliance of the adversary, which could be of any type of support personal, familial, financial, professional, etc. 3. Destroy the adversary's reputation with black PR or dis-information and 4. Destroy their emotional and psychological sanity and ability to continue by constant hammering. 5. Then keep doing 1-4. not just until the attack is stopped, but ideally until you have insured the adversary will never have any future capacity or inclination to mount any future attack. Deception Another example of how Scientology applies its adversarial policy again comes from the "Art of War." In this book of military and espionage strategy the fundamental principle of war is expressed as, "The art of war is deception!" If one looked at everything Scientology does don't be surprised to find a continuous underlying and permeating pattern of deception. The following is a partial list of key individuals who have had some first hand experience dealing with Scientology's never changing in and out of court adversarial policy. They have had experience with all or part of what is contained in this appendix. Judge Breckenridge, LA Superior Court Judge Robert Jones, Portland Oregon Judge Steffan Graae, U.S.D.C.

Part one: Documentation On Scientology's Real Adversarial Tactics "You can be merciless whenever your will is crossed and you have the right to be merciless." The following is a list of Scientology's covert operations practices, partially as discovered by the FBI during an authorized search of Scientology's headquarters. It helps underline the ongoing congruence between Scientology's vicious policies and Scientology's malicious actions. This section will also disclose that when the word fanaticism and the other strong language is used in these documents to describe the origin, nature, actions, and results of Scientology the descriptions are unfortunately accurate. The adversarial tactics of Scientology fall into three main types: 1.) Covert intelligence operations carried on at a professional level of sophistication near-comprable to a national security agency operation, 2.) A new evolution in outrageous courtroom tactics called "legal" brutality, and 3.) Overt operations that could include propaganda programs and other overt attacks. These overt operations like the "legal brutality" programs often are bases on a linkage to covert operation programs. Covert intelligence operations cover the following general areas: 1.) Electronic eavesdropping and bugging. 2.) The creation of false identification and documents to aid in covert operations. 3.) The infiltration of organizations that are enemies of Scientology by obtaining jobs under false pretenses or identification. 4.) Impersonating a reporter to gain access as an operative and gain or plant information for Scientology. 5.) Breaking and entering into the attorney offices of a critic or enemy. 6.) Forced detention of an enemy or critic. 7.) Staging a fake hit and run auto accident involving a pedestrian. 8.) Circulating false black PR stories. 9.) Framing critics for lewd sexual conduct. 10.) Framing a critic as being connected to organized crime. 11.) Burglary and theft. 12.) Attempting to get a person incarcerated in a mental institution. 13.) Impersonating a person to frame or discredit them. 13.) Sending bomb threats and/or framing someone else for it. 14.) Confidential materials, disclosures, or confessions given to Scientology by members are routinely used to blackmail, silence, or intimidate that individual if that individual should leave Scientology and become critical of Scientology. 15.) Infiltrate the court system to alter and steal documents and files before, during or after court rulings. Possible Scientology involvement in conspiracies to commit murder or commit assaults. 16) Possible Scientology involvement in conspiracies to commit murder or commit assaults. 1.) Electronic eavesdropping and bugging. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives bugged IRS meetings where the cult's tax status was discussed. They discovered Scientology had detailed training manuals on exactly how to train its operatives on how to do this. 2.) The creation of false identification and documents to aid in covert operations. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives had made false IRS and Treasury department ID's to gain access to Scientology files kept in those agencies. Operatives normally do not just gather information but also remove information of evidence or plant false information designed to misdirect or incriminate the target. Scientology's intelligence operation can create or alter documents to manufacture false identification, false evidence, and false histories for itself and others. This false history practice is known in Scientology as doing a history rewrite by creating or altering documents to look like Scientology's new version of reality. History rewrites are most often performed on former members who file suits against Scientology or cooperate with the government. Courts and agencies intended to protect society or victims of Scientology need to realize that if they are considered enemies of Scientology they are dealing with a professional intelligence agency. Appropriate security precautions must always be taken. All documents which Scientology submits must be verified in minute detail. One must always be wary that supposedly secure court files and evidence or your own internal files have been corrupted or altered by Scientology's operatives, moles, and double agents. "In my opinion the church has one of the most effective intelligence operations in the U.S. rivaling even that of the F.B.I." From Ted Gunderson a former head of the F.B.I's Los Angeles office. (Time Magazine cover story of May 6, 1991.) Remember that in 1979, nine of Scientology's top world executives pleaded guilty to extensive burglaries, forgeries, "infiltration," "obstruction of justice," and other crimes carried out against over 100 Federal agencies including the Dept. of Justice, The Dept. of Defense and the I.R.S.. If one realizes that Scientology runs a world class intelligence agency with a deep pocket budget and that agency does what every major intelligence agency does they would have an appropriate perspective. The following documents will shed more light on the sophistication of the Scientology intelligence machine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] 17 OCT 71 INT HATTING: THE STRIKE A strike is the action of gathering information on a covert basis. It is performed by one or more agents (persons doing the strike), who are intentionally aiming at a target (the desired info, or the person who has the target info, etc.). It is assumed that the individual is hatted as an INT agent. The strike is done in 12 steps, and each step follows consecutively (thus, step 2 should not be begun until step 1 is completed, and any new observation pertaining to an earlier step during the doingness of a latter step requires reevaluation of the interim steps and verification of all the data acquired in the process). The amount of time spent on a step and the amount of info needed for a respective step to be completed depends upon the target. The objective is to get all of the target info, by whatever means is necessary. For example, if the target is well-known and readily accessible to the agent(s), the strike may be achieved very quickly. On the other hand, if the agent (s) knows very little about the target, has no current access to the target, and the target is a large quantity of data, it may take extensive research, planning, and on-target observation to begin the actual strike. The quantity of knowledge needed to complete each step is relative to the circumstances of the target. THE STEPS OF STRIKING 1) Receive the assignment to strike. This usually comes in the form of an order from the agent's senior. The senior may either officially order or unofficially suggest the strike, either way, the idea is given to the agent that the info must be covertly gathered from some source. 2) Take ownership of the job. Here the individual determines that he is going to be the one to do the strike. 3) Identify the target. This may be knowing the name of a person or group on whom info must be covertly gathered, or it may be knowing the specific location of the piece of wanted data, or simply being told to "see what they are up to." Either way, the purpose here is to have a starting basis for the strike. 4) Gather info on the target area (the location of the target) for the purpose of striking. This includes any info that would be pertinent to striking. Info is pertinent to striking if it helps the agent to locate (pin-point) the specific target, gain access to the target area and the target, learn the routines of the target area, or anything else that would help to put the agent in control of the target during the strike itself. 5) Determine the most optimum means available for gaining access to the target area, on the basis of the info now known about it. This includes having a cover. A cover is the pretense the agent assumes to make the strike possible. It includes anything that protects the agent from exposure as the agent of the strike (e.g., assuming the cover of a newspaper man who wants to write an article on Scientology, with the objective of having the target group provide the agent with info on its activities as regards Scientology, but not know that this info will be used by Scientology itself). The most optimum cover is one that excludes the agent from any suspicion by the target. In some instances this would include wearing squeakless shoes, and carrying a large purse or attache at all times so that the one time the agent is carrying target info in the purse or attache, he is not questioned about its contents. 6) Gain access to the target area. This may include obtaining full-time employment from the target if the target is an organization, or simply contacting a person on a friendly basis so that the agent can gain access to personal files kept at home, or any other means that provides access to the target and a time span of access to the target that will allow the agent to gather all of the info that is wanted. It is possible that the access to the data will require repeated strikes -- and thus, long-term procedures (e.g., full-time employment would allow long-term procedures and repeated strikes if the target were an organization). This step may also be called penetration. 7) Directly observe the target area for verification of the knowledge gained in the preceding steps and continue to gather new data that would be pertinent to striking. This includes determining the actual security measures used by the target area to keep the target safe. (e.g., guards making security rounds, locked cabinets, maintenance personnel after working hours, closed circuit TV cameras, alarm systems, etc.). Three tools that are available to the agent (and have been tested and proved valuable in actual strike activity that required very strict security) include: #1 - SECURITY RULE OF THREE: If the agent observes an activity in the target area occurring three separate times under identical or similar conditions within a given period of time (usually one week), he can use these observations in planning his striking activity. One always observes for current and usual (predictable) activities in the target area, and accessible exits from the target area for "quick-get-away." #2 - SECURITY RADIUS: a distance around the target that can be postulated as creating a safe condition for strike activity. The radius may be used to listen for persons coming near the target area during strike- preparation and actual strike activity. (e.g., if the strike requires that no one know that the agent has been in the target area, the agent should be able to hear someone enter his security radius and quickly leave the target area without being seen or heard by the intruder and without leaving evidence of his presence). #3 - If the target is extensive written material, it may be most optimum to have a separate location from the target area for reading and Xeroxing or transcribing the data -- this is called a SAFE READING PLACE. If this is needed for strike activity, it should be determined during step 7 of striking procedures. The final aspect of step 7 is evaluation of all data obtained upon direct observation of the target area and re- evaluation of the data learned in the preceding six steps in light of the direct observation data. 8) Determine how to safely get the target information from the target area to the person who wants the info. (This would include making sure that the agent's cover is adequately planned (e.g., the big purse, etc.) 9) Plan the actions, step by step, that will be necessary in doing the strike. For instance, it may be found that the most optimum time to strike is between 12:30 PM and 12:55 PM. Thus the agent would plan to arrive at the target area at 12:31 PM; if the target area is safe (no persons present), he would then proceed to perform the strike, always listening to his security radius for intruders; he would proceed with operations until 12:50 PM, making sure that he is out of the target area by 12:52 PM. This plan might include hitting the target, getting the info Xeroxed in the safe reading place, and returning the target info to its original location by 12:50 PM. This step includes preparation for any unusual circumstances that might arise and how they would best be handled. For instance, if someone entered the security radius of the above situation at 12:40 PM, would the agent leave the area immediately or wait for the person to leave the security radius? The purpose of step 9 is to make sure that the agent has enough knowledge to perform the strike safely, accurately, and thoroughly. 10) On the basis of the preceding steps, begin either a pretend dry-run of the strike (to check for unknowns and remedy them immediately) or do the actual strike, depending on the circumstances of the entire situation. The following is an example. It was actually done by an agent in both dry-run and actual strike procedures at a national organization's headquarters. The agent was a full-time employee of the group, and worked on a different floor from the one where the target info was located. The agent had to maintain a totally safe operating condition during strike procedures (i.e., It was predetermined that anyone within the security radius was dangerous to the agent and warranted stopping strike activity immediately, and that the less time spent in the target area the more safe the operating condition): a - agent went to the target area -- no one else was present -- proceeded. b - agent found target file. c - agent stood near target file -- the label appeared to indicate this file was the target. Agent determined a safe radius for future activity and listened for the usual sounds -- a through c were safe, proceeded. d - agent checked file contents, always listening to the security radius. Still safe, so agent proceeded. e - file contents appeared to be wanted, could agent pull them to take to the safe reading place? Yes. Agent proceeded. f - Agent took file to safe reading place, going by the (predetermined) quickest route, agent observed security radius at all times. g - target data was exactly what was wanted. Agent Xeroxed data and then hid Xeroxes in a place that was safe while the agent was returning the target materials. This included the possibility that the agent would not be able to return to the hiding place for quite a while and a place that would not indicate that the Xeroxes belonged to the agent if another person found them. h - agent returned to target area, repeating steps a through c, then put file back exactly where it was found (continually observing the security radius). i - agent took target data (Xeroxes) out of the building without being suspected. This required wearing a cape under which the Xeroxed data was hidden in a large purse and being friendly with the night guard. j - Agent took evidence and written report of all strike-related activities to agent's senior within 3 hours after strike occurred. 11) Get info to the person who wants it, by the safest and quickest route. 12) Report all strike-related actions in a written report. It should be noted here that written progress reports (most optimum) and verbal reports may be given to the agent's senior at any time during the strike procedures. Any report should be written with the objective of informing the senior of the progress done to date and/or reporting any change in agent-like or strike-related activities. A report never serves the purpose of asking the agent's senior to handle the agent's problems. SUMMARY AND COMMENTS As stressed before, the individual circumstances of the target and the agent determine the extensiveness of the work done in each of the 12 steps and the time it takes to achieve the strike. If the agent is required to return to the target area on several occasions to get the target info, he should always be observant of new developments and handle each new development as it arises. This may mean simply making a small adjustment in the plan of striking or it may mean a total halt of all agent-like activity until the agent is safely able to continue with the preparation steps and doingness of the strike. (As when the target begins to suspect the agent's activities and tries to protect itself from a strike). Certain striking activities require more security than others. The agent must determine the degree of security he must maintain, as it is relative to his individual situation, in order to achieve the strike. Whether a strike takes 15 minutes to prepare for or 15 months, the key to the whole game is observing what is really there, not what you were told should be there; and working on the basis of what you know. END OF REPORT Kathy Gregg INT CH COMM INT CHGO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.) The infiltration of organizations that are enemies of Scientology by obtaining jobs under false pretenses or identification. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives regularly did this to obtain information or run covert operations on the targeted organization. - From personal experience inside Scientology for ten years I can unequivocally state that Scientology's thought reform programs have as one of their goals the turning of members into covert operatives for Scientology. Members soon learned it was a great honor to be in the intelligence division of Scientology or be asked by its members to assist them with some covert operation on a Scientology enemy. While in Scientology and now from the outside, time and time again have I seen this process at work. Since detailed personal histories are assembled on everyone who enters Scientology, Scientology's intelligence division can access moles who don't even know they are moles yet -- the perfect deep cover intelligence mole. Scientology recruits its members from every walk of life, the police department, the government, the phone company, the military, the court system, etc. If these members have been through enough of Scientology's thought reform programs and if they have access to something Scientology needs, they will be asked and recruited to use their positions, computers, or authorities to covertly provide whatever they are asked by Scientology's intelligence division. The LA Superior Court and other court systems are particularly vulnerable to this infiltration by either paid operatives who obtain jobs under false pretenses or who are recruited into Scientology after they are legitimately working in this court system. This infiltration factor does not even include the susceptibility of underpaid government workers to Scientology's other intelligence inducements to compel someone to do something for them. The fanaticism of the Scientology's professional intelligence and covert operation machine presents problems that the normal security procedures of the justice system are ill prepared to deal with. As I found out the hard during my trial never assume that the evidence put into submission with the court or the transcripts will be there or unaltered when they are called for again. Never assume that false information has not been planted into supposedly protected court files after the fact. There is now reason to believe that according to the principles of Scientology's secret infiltration has spread and become more sophisticated. It is believed that Scientology operatives have infiltrated the ethics and governing boards of the major adversaries, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Sociological Association as well as the ethics and governing boards the bar and judicial organizations in areas where they have frequent and important lawsuits. It would not at all be unreasonable to believe that Scientology's now infamous original operation "Snow White," (the master operation discovered by the FBI (and sent Scientology's top executives to jail) that was to infiltrate all levels of over 100 branches of the U.S. Government that could harm or interfere with Scientology's growth,) was still in active operation. The reason to protect against this again comes from another basic overriding strategy that Scientology repeatedly has applied to its adversaries and permeates Scientology's operations. This strategy also comes from the bible of Scientology's intelligence division "The Art of War." In paraphrase, never attack the enemy's army particularly cities or fortifications if there is any way of avoiding it. The acme of war is to always attack the enemy's plans first. In this way destructive battles and human and resource loss is minimized or averted long before they can ever take place. By infiltrating the offices and organizations of any perceived adversary or those organizations which control or effect their adversaries ability to attack, (state bars, medical boards, congress etc.) Scientology can attack and disable the plans of its adversaries before they get off the ground. This way it doesn't have to fight battles in "fortified cities." 4.) Impersonating a reporter to gain access as an operative and gain or plant information for Scientology. The FBI discovered that a Scientology intelligence operative had posed as a reporter to gain access to materials on Scientology collected by the Better Business Bureau. This posing as a reporter is one of Scientology's favorite techniques as related to me by one of their top intelligence operatives while I was still in Scientology. In fact, I myself was sent to infiltrate the AMA at their Chicago headquarters using the reporter impersonation ploy. Additionally, Scientology again used this tactic on me in when they used a paid operative in Aspen, Colorado posing as a reporter to "interview" me and steal personal materials. This individual with other operatives then began a local black PR campaign of outright lies and distortions which destroyed my then existing business and eventually caused me to move. One of Scientology's other acceptable strategies as related to me by one of their top intelligence operatives while I was still in Scientology was that if any underpaid legitimate reporter was doing a story harmful to Scientology it was acceptable to buy that reporter off to kill the story, mitigate it, or turn the story into an attack of one of Scientology's enemies. The impression I got was it was far cheaper and easier to "convince" (offer more money than the reporter would usually ever see in a lump sum,) the reporter then to have to spend or lose a fortune later on damage control or lost income. If the reporter refused the easy big money he could always then be investigated for possible blackmail or harassed. Reporters already generally have a credibility problem in most peoples eyes with distorting, sensationalizing, or slanting their stories to sell their pieces, so much so that the people who were actually there wonder where the reporter got their facts. When it comes to Scientology stories, when someone claims to be a reporter doing a story or who has done a story on Scientology red flags go up for everyone who has had experience with this sting and attack tactic. Unless the story is obviously and strongly exposing Scientology's immoral actions and clearly warning the public of its significant social dangerousness, who the reporter is actually or secretly working for must be carefully examined and highly suspect, particularly if an existing story the reporter has done forwards: 1.) Positions that forward or legitimize Scientology's standard propaganda lines. 2.) Positions that forward or legitimize Scientology's standard attention redirecting enemy attack lines. 3.) Positions that forward or legitimize Scientology's standard legal liability limiting disclaimer positions. Good legitimate reporters who had done their homework would never be fooled by into forwarding or legitimizing these enemy attack lines and disclaimer positions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] DEC. 6, 1968.

INFILTRATION COVERS TWO METHODS - SOMEONE JOINING THE ENEMY WITHOUT THE ENEMY'S KNOWING AND SOMEONE, DISAFFECTING PRESUMABLY, TO JOIN THE ENEMY. FOR GIVING THE ENEMY FALSE DATA, YOU CAN DO THE FOLLOWING; 1. USE INFILTRATOR TO SPREAD ALARM AND FALSE DATA. 2. SEND OUT FALSE DATA PURPOSELY. LOVE, PETER HOLLON ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.) Breaking and entering into the attorney offices of a critic or enemy. From confidential internal directives and actual covert operation documents the FBI discovered Scientology's intelligence operatives had done this repeatedly. Among many instances they broke into and entered the homes and offices of numerous enemies and critics. The FBI discovered detailed training manuals on exactly how to "case" the target, break in through force or with lock picks, and create cover stories if caught. A specific example of these tactics involves ex-Scientologists Robert Dardano and Warren Friske who testified to some of the activities they and others were involved with on behalf of the Church. These activities include the burglary of the Belmont office of a psychiatrist in order to steal files, the theft of documents from a Boston law firm, and the planting of a church member as a volunteer inside the state attorney general's office to intercept consumer complaints about Scientology. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] 9 Mar 75 VETTING HAT WRITE UP PURPOSE: To clean USBI files of legally actionable evidence against the GO and its personnel.

Love CIC OFF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next 5 covert operation tactics are demonstrated in, but by no means limited to, Scientology's "Operation Tricycle", which follows immediately the 5 tactics: 6.) Forced detention of an enemy or critic. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives will take individuals against their will to detention areas any refuse to let them leave. This happened with Michael Miesner who was a former member who tuned states evidence for the FBI and help send 9 of Scientology's highest executive leaders to jail. More recently this has also repeatedly happened with many other former members who wanted to leave or were classified as security risks. 7.) Staging a fake hit and run auto accident involving a pedestrian (FBI evidence found this plan in an effort to disgrace Gabriel Cezares, a former mayor of Clearwater Florida and Scientology critic). 8.) Circulating false black PR stories. Mark Sableman reporter for the Clearwater Sun was critical of Scientology. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives circulated a rough draft of a fictitious news story using Sableman's name alleging that 19 Florida legislators were linked to the Mafia, gambling interests, and were involved in bribery, blackmail, and illegal transactions. On July 15 1990, a London Sunday Times article revealed Scientology spent $200,000.00 or more to organize a worldwide Black PR harassment campaign against Russell Miller. Mr. Miller was a Sunday Times journalist and author of a Scientology expose, "The Bare-Faced Messiah." Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer has been recent and ongoing favorite target. A dead rat with a stake though its heart was left on her doorstep. Her home has been vandalized, rats released in it, and some of her research stolen. En route to an educational conference on thought reform and cults, she was detained by British immigration police based on an anonymous tip that she was a member of the IRA. 9.) Framing critics for lewd sexual conduct. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives had created a operation called "Priority A" to be done on Mark Sablemen. The plan called for a elderly Scientology operative from out of the area to go to the editor of the Clearwater Sun and accuse Sableman of molesting the operatives son. Episcopal Vicar Mike Rokos had stories broadcast that he was a convicted sex criminal. 10.) Framing a critic as being connected to organized crime. The FBI discovered that Scientology's "Priority A" operation also called for a Scientology operative to go to editor of the St. Petersburg Times and deliver an envelope with $100 cash in it for Betty Orsini, (a newspaper reporter critical of Scientology.) The operative was to say that the money was from a well known mobster in return for information Orsini has supposedly passed to the mobster. 11.) Burglary and theft. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives burglarized the lawyers offices of the St. Petersburg Times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] SECURITY OF THE OPERATION The first consideration on security is always the personnel chosen to do the job. Professionals would usually choose someone who is confident and competent, easily trainable and fully trained. In other words in Scientology terms, people who are not PTS, who are not ethics cases. Additionally one would normally choose someone who is motivated by duty or other high motivation to prevent later sell-outs or discovery by reason of an agent turning ... SECURITY OF THE ORGANIZATION Professionals are always working for some person or group which for the purposes of this section will be referred to as an organization. If the agent's motivation for working for the group is high, then this section will concern the agent as well. Any professional intelligence group has to confront the possibility that at some stage an agent will be picked up. The most serious of these is when the agent is picked up in the actual act of stealing documents or in position where he is about to steal documents, or has just stolen documents and is moving to his base with the material. Therefore agents are frequently given instructions along the lines of "if you are picked up by the police, don't say anything more than you are required to by law", which is usually your name and address but this varies depending on the area. This is of course if the agent is in a position where no story would explain the outpoints confronting the police. The agent will probably be arrested at this stage and should quietly arrange a lawyer through a law society or legal aid society. Such societies abound these days and a name and address of one can be memorized beforehand. The organization usually arranges some method of communication so that the agent can tip them off that he has been picked up. Any organization that has a desire to retain its agents or to continue recruiting agents usually has the sense to provide bail through some bail bond system that allows the organization to remain anonymous, pays any legal fees incurred and gives every possible moral encouragement. Additionally, any agent working on such operations would have nothing in his possession that connected him with the organization, nothing at his home address that connected him with organization and no possible way of tracing him back. For example, an alternative employment or no employment, but certainly no mention of employment by the organization. This is the usual exchange between agent and organization in the event of an arrest. The agent protects the organization, the organization assists the agent in every possible way. Such preparations are also usually made well in advance, so that the agent's recent history does not show any connection with the organization. COVER STORY One trick used by professionals is, after the casing has been completed and the plan decided on, a series of cover stories are mocked up to cover each stage of the operation in the event that the operation is blown at any point. Such cover stories usually relate to the most vulnerable state of operation. For example, an agent might prepare a story as to why he was in that particular neighborhood, why he was on that particular street, why he knocked on that particular door, even what he was doing in that particular backyard. Thus if he is picked up at any of these points he has a plausible explanation as to what he is doing. On occasion cover stories are mocked up to cover being caught in the act. It is sometimes to the advantage of the agent and the organization, if the police believe that the agent was actually breaking in for money or goods, rather than documents or files, as the police have a common R with criminals who they can duplicate, but sometimes get frantic when confronted with intelligence operations. Such cover stories as mentioned above would also be designed to handle the local security guard, the local resident or staff member or whoever discovers the agent in the beginning stages of the operation ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] Distribution DG US DDG US DG I US & BI US & BI Base as OK'd by DG I US POWER PROJECT 4: TRICYCLE Ref.

Love Dick DM/mw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tactics 13, 13 AND 14 are best demonstrated in "Operation Freakout" some of which follows after these points: 12.) Attempting to get a person incarcerated in a mental institution. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives created and began to enact an operation called "Operation Freakout" whose purpose was to drive Paulette Cooper insane and then into a mental institution. 13.) Impersonating a person to frame or discredit them. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives were going to impersonate Paulette Cooper go to a Laundromat and threaten to kill the President. A second intelligence operative inside the Laundromat would then tell the Laundromat personnel to call in the threat to the government. The chilling example of the above involves Paulette Cooper, the author of the Scandal of Scientology. The Church's response to Cooper's book is detailed in a document describing "Operation Freakout," which was designed to "get PC incarcerated in a mental institution or jail, or at least to hit her so hard that she drops her attacks." Cooper, who says she was served with 18 lawsuits against her by the church, had a nervous breakdown after someone sent Scientology a bomb threat on her stationery. She was cleared of the charges after a 1977 raid on a church office where documents outlining Operation Freakout were discovered. In a section entitled "VITAL TARGETS," the document "Operation Freakout" gives specific details of the harassment program against Cooper. Such actions include an obvious attempt to impersonate Cooper, with directions like "To recruit an FSM (Field Staff Member) that looks like PC ...", "to get familiar with PC to find out some of the clothes she wears particularly what sort of coat she usually wears...", "To get a cheap coat that is very similar to PC's", "To have someone available to steak [sic] out PC when she leaves her place the day of the caper, to ascertain when she leaves, what she's wearing, etc.", "Obtain wig that looks like PC, so that FSM PC can wear it during caper", etc. Further details of "Operation Freakout" describe framing Cooper on a bomb threat charge against two Arab consulates in New York City. A further memo dated 13 April 1967 regarding "PC Op Freakout" states, "The FBI already think she really did do the bomb threats on the C of S." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] 1 April 1976 OPERATION FREAKOUT MAJOR TARGET: To get P.C. incarcerated in a mental institution or jail, or at least to hit her so hard that she drops her attacks.

She must be home alone. ________________ AG I NY 2) When she has been found alone, telephone (during the work week) 2 Arab Consulates in NYC, from telephone booth nearest PC's place. Telephoner should be a girl that sounds like PC and the call should be fast, to the point, and impinge. It should go as follows: from a totally trusted non staff member. "I just came back from Israel (pronounces the way it is pronounced in Israel) I've seen what you fucking bastards do. At least you're not going to kill my sister. I can get away with anything. I'm going to bomb you bastards." Say something in Jewish/ swear or mumble something Jewish. ________________ AG I NY CHANNEL 2: 1) Obtain a copy of Writer's DIGEST - a writer's magazine - (if not available get any writer's magazine.) person who obtains this magazine should be disguised in some way and not traceable back to the org. Don't order the mag. by mail. One should easily be found on the newsstands or in "back issues" stores. ________________ AG I NY 2) Obtain the latest promo of the T.M. (transcendental meditation) that PC is going to, same security as above. ________________ AG I NY 3) Cut out "letters" from both of the above publications. Include "CAPITOLS". Arrange the letters, pasted, on a clean piece of paper (not Org paper) If there is a blank page or nearly blank page in the writers magazine, use it, crossing out in ballpoint anything written on the page. Paste or glue the letters so that they say the following: "All of you are distroying Isreal. You're just like them. My sister lived you basterds. I was there - I saw the wonderful people. Nobody can touch me. I'm going to kill you basterds. I am going to bomb you. Kissingger is a traitor. I'll bomb him to. It makes me very sick. I must meditate. You are spying on me even in Isreal. Your day will come soon. I'll expose you and bomb you." Go to library and type out the name of the NY Consulate and address of the Nation that is most anti Israel (attacking it). (No prints) Use "Capitols" on the envelope. 4) Place "letter" into the envelope, seal, and mail from the mail box nearest PC's place. INSURE SECURITY / NO PRINTS on any letters, envelope, or paper, or stamp. INSURE no paper from AG Office or Org is used. Entire action should be done out of the Org. NEED TO KNOW strongly enforced. PR, Communicater Legal should not know. Max should do this entire action. If in doubt about "did my prints get on anything" throw everything away and start fresh. CHANNEL 3: 1) FSM in VT # 3 telephones and makes a definite appointment with PC. Sometime when the laundry (in VT # 12) is open. The place should be a restaurant or ba. Oone of the purposes of this action is also to get PC drunk. ________________ AG I NY 2) FSM above meets with PC. ________________ AG I NY 3) Stakeout FSM (see VT # 8) communicates with Case Officer and PC Double FSM (see VT # 1) and alert the former what PC has on, how her hair is arranged, does she have her usual coat on etc. _______________ AG I NY 4) "PC FSM" changes to the closest clothes they have, matching PCs. If PC has on blue jeans, change to blue jeans. If PC has on her usual coat put that on. (see VT # 3 and 4) What ever PC usually wears (a favorite sweater etc.) a yellow dress, blue, green etc. sneakers, a yellow scarf etc. should be had by PC FSM ready to change into. In other words several different out-fits should have been obtained by PC FSM, so that when the caper goes down, she can immediately change into the color or type of outfit that PC has on. From the observation of the stakeout FSM to the change of PC FSM's clothes, only 3 minutes should have gone by. If PC let us say has her hair up, FSM puts her "hair up" very fast it doesn't have to be a good job/ just so it's "up". _______________ AG I NY 5) PC FSM goes immediately into the laundry and does the following caper. (wearing sunglasses) This is done immediately, so that PC could have done it on her way to meet the FSM or FSMs for drinks. ( Patter: PC FSM goes into laundry. Acts very confused. Says "I'm P.C. Do I have any clothes here? Clerk says no FSM demands clerk checks. Clerk comes back. Says no again. FSM screams You're crazy, my name if PC, check again! When clerk says no or whatever he does, FSM goes PTS 3: "You're one of them! I'll kill you. You're a dirty Arab. You fucking bastards. I'll bomb you. I'll bomb the Arabs. I'll bomb the President. I'll kill that traitor Kissinger. You're all against me." If an item of PC's clothing was obtained at TM, FSM leaves this on the counter or drops it on the floor. ________________ FSM 6) PC FSM leaves laundry immediately, turns the corner and gets into "pick up" car.

With all these nuts running around I thought you should know. The guy in the laundry heard her too." HANGS UP, and leaves immediately and gets out of there. This call/the FSM's voice should be disguised. All these type calls are tape recorded. (FSM should not be told this; just to disguise her voice.) ________________ FSM PRODUCTION TARGETS: CHANNEL 1: Should be done within 2 days of receiving this project.

Then drunkenly comes over to FSM's table and wips out "joke" to show FSM. Both FSM and "drunk" are careful not to touch plain sheet. The 2 sheets are folded as if to be mailed. When drunk picks up joke again, he whips it up by its corner and puts it in his long open wallet or puts it in his hat that he should be wearing for that purpose. If the hat is used, "drunk" goes into the bathroom and carefully puts "joke" into his wallet. Drunk is always acting the fool.

Sending bomb threats and/or framing someone else for it. As mentioned above, the FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives had stolen the stationery of Scientology critic Paulette Cooper with her fingerprints on it and then typed bomb threats and sent them to Henry Kissinger and to Scientology itself. Scientology then called the FBI after receiving the bomb threat it had sent to itself and gave Paulette Cooper's name as a suspect. You be the judge if it is still going on. -- From the Wollersheim case: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard police report MILWAUKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT District No. Seven REPORT Saturday, July 28, 1984 In the matter of Possible Threats by a Religious Group To Thomas E. Harker Captain of Police Sir: On Saturday, July 28, 1984 at 1:45 am, I was dispatched to meet a citizen at 3277 N. 96th St., for a threat complaint. Upon arriving at the scent, I interviewed the complainant, Lawrence D. Wollersheim, w/m, 7-02-21 of 3277 N. 96th St., Ph. #462-1996. He is the owner of the Steak & Stein Restaurant at 5930 W. North Ave., Ph. #771- 1990. On this date, Mr. Wollersheim related the following to me. He stated that his son Lawrence D. Wollersheim, w/m, 11-16-48, is currently living in Aspen, CO, Ph. #303-925-6356. His son had been a member of the Church of Scientology sect for 13 years. This religious group is based in Los Angeles, CA. His son is currently no longer associated with this group and is suing the sect for 25 million dollars. The law suit must come to trial by July 1985 in the California court system. Since Mr. Wollersheim's son has filed this suit, he has been harassed and threatened by members of the Church of Scientology. He has been visited as recently as Wednesday, July 25, 1984 at which time they made threats against him, his family and the President of the United States. Mr. Wollersheim's son had been a high ranking member of the religious sect prior to his leaving. While in that high position he learned many of the inner dealings of the group. For this reason they are attempting to force Mr. Wollersheim's son to drop his suit. The religious order supposedly has its own security personnel to use such tactics as threats, intimidation and harassment in order to eliminate any outspokenness by members or former members of this sect. Mr. Wollersheim Sr. stated that on Wednesday, July 14, 1984 a pipe with wires protruding from it was found lying on his front lawn. At that time the police were summoned and Squad 75, P.O. John Bogues responded. The bomb squad was notified and the device was determined to be a device made to be to look like a bomb. Mr. Wollersheim believes that this was a form of intimidation that he attributes to the religious sect. He states he has also received numerous harassing phone calls from unknown callers which he also attributes to the religious sect. Mr. Wollersheim stated that as the court date nears the harassment will increase. His son has told him that this is the usual practice of the religious sect's security forces. Mr. Wollersheim requested that the squads in the area pay particular attention to his home for any suspicious persons. I advised Mr. Wollersheim to contact the telephone company for the purposes of having a tracing device placed on his telephone in order to learn who is making the harassing phone calls. I also advised him that the squads in the area would be notified to pay particular attention to his home. Respectfully submitted, (signed) Gary R. Bruhn Police Officer District #7 - Late ["7th DISTRICT RECEIVED" stamp is signed (illegible) and dated JUL 28 1984.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.) Confidential materials, disclosures, or confessions given to Scientology by members are routinely used to blackmail, silence, or intimidate that individual if that individual should leave Scientology and becomes critical of Scientology. From confidential internal directives and actual examples the FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives regularly use or make public confidential information and confessions of former members in an effort to silence them. From personal experience I had my confidential auditing confessions used in court by scientology as well as material from them repeated to me in anonymous harassing phone calls. Scientology's twisted use of confidential disclosures made to them has also been further verified in ongoing court cases with other former members. Anyone member or former member who has ever given any information to Scientology is at continual risk of having this information revealed. If you are a former member every effort should be made to obtain all your Scientology records and all copies of them. Because Scientology has time and time again proven itself to be totally untrustworthy, if you know someone who is a member they should be made aware of this history and encouraged not to ever trust Scientology with any personal information or any supposedly confidential confessional material under any circumstances. The following evidence was used in Scientology's intelligence sections not their pseudo religious sections. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] To: .... illegible ... 13 Jan 77 cc: DGI US via DGI C Excerption of Ira XXX PC files Dear Cindy, Here is the pertinent data from Ira's pc files.

(Pg. 5,2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] GUARDIAN ORDER GO 121669 MSH December 16, 1969 To: All D/A/Guardians for Intelligence PROGRAMME: INTELLIGENCE: INTERNAL SECURITY OBSERVATION: The enemy has used the method of infiltration to obtain information against ourselves as known from incidences in South Africa, Edinburgh and Washington, D.C. The enemy has also "turned" and used as double agents Staff members as revealed by Maurice Johnson at Saint Hill and Barbara Peake in Melbourne. Further, the enemy has used former disaffected staff members, Scientologists or relatives of Scientologists in their attacks -- Philip Wearne and Doug Moon in Australia, Jean Kennedy and Gene van Niekerk in South Africa, Michael Pernetta and Mrs. Henslow in England, Eleanor Turner and the former Mrs. Elmo Troup in America and the O'Donnell family in New Zealand, to name but a few of the outstanding examples. Although infiltrators and double agents can create more internal Chaos and disorder in an organization, the enemy has been most successful in their attacks through the use of disaffected staff, Scientologists or relatives of Scientologists and the biggest gross error an organization can make as regards its own security is violations of the HCO Policy Letter of October 27, 1964, "Policies on Physical Healing, Insanity and Potential Trouble Sources". The duty of keeping the organization secure belongs in the HCO Division, both in RAP and Inspections and Reports, but the Intelligence Bureau has learned through long experience that it cannot leave this function entirely up to HCO and where it has done so, it has had to suffer the consequences. Thus this Programme is a vital one. MAJOR TARGET: To use any and all means to detect any infiltration, double agent or disaffected staff member, Scientologist or relatives of Scientologists and by any and all means to render null any potential threat or harm such have rendered or might render to Scientology and Scientologists. VITAL TARGETS: 1. This Programme is to be done by the Asst. Guardian or the D/A/Guardian for Intelligence, if this post is held separately. 2. To establish Intelligence files on all such persons found to be infiltrators, double agents, and disaffected staff members, Scientologists and relatives of Scientologists. OPERATING TARGETS: 1. To make full use of all files on the organization to effect your major target. These include personnel files, Ethics files, Dead files, Central files, training files, processing files and requests for refunds. 2. To assemble full data by investigation of each person located for possible use in case of attack or for use in preventing any attack and to keep files of such. (Bold emphasis added.) 3. To be alert to usual security precautions and to see that these are performed by the organization; such as proper locking of the premises, security of keys, locking of files, the changing of locks if keys have been lost, proper safes, etc. 4. To keep off staff and off org lines any person who has ever betrayed Scientology or who has threatened to betray or blackmail Scientology. 5. To ensure the Policy Letter on Physical Healing, Insanity and Potential Trouble Sources is not violated and to be alert to any possible violations. 6. To maintain a good liason line to Ethics and ensure that the Ethics Officer alerts you to any person who might attack Scientology. 7. To be alert to any organizational theft or disappearances of records and files as a possible indication of the presence of an infiltrator or double agent. Infiltrators are frequently those who have recently "joined" Scientology and so can be watched. Double agents are usually detected by natter, down stats, disorder in their areas and no case gain. 8. To be effective and imaginative in your collection of data and in your actions to nullify any attack or threat of attack. 9. To keep your Asst. Guardian fully advised and the D/Guardian for Intelligence WW, who will inform the Guardian WW in such matters. PRODUCTION TARGET: This is a continuing Programme on which Projects will be issued from time to time. Mary Sue Hubbard CS-G --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.) Infiltrate the court system to alter and steal documents and files before, during or after court rulings. Any individual or attorney who goes into court with Scientology must never assume that any evidence you have submitted into evidence has not been stolen or tampered with. Check every copy against its original. Any document Scientology submits must be examined carefully for authenticity. It could be what the call a history rewrite or a manufactured document. There is a "coincidence" that occurred during Wollersheim's 6 month trial which helps make this point more clear. It also has the attempted precedent limiting intelligence signature of creating and rewriting "history" all over it. One lunch break in the emptied courtroom, while the evidence exhibits were apparently not being guarded, someone altered Dr. Margaret Singer's notes on her interviews with Wollersheim to read that I had taken 300 LSD trips before entering Scientology. (Dr. Singer was the expert psychologist testifying on my behalf.) The document was remembered to not have this on it when it was entered into evidence. When Dr. Singer verified by phone that no such event occurred and she never wrote such a statement in her notes this signature incident created a flurry in the courtroom. Out of court things are not much different. Never assume their lawyers will send you the same documents they submit to the courts and never assume Scientology's lawyers will notify you at all when the initiate some action. Always keep checking the court docket yourself on a regular basis. 16) Possible Scientology involvement in conspiracies to commit murder or commit assaults you be the judge. An informant in a sworn statement given under oath told of a plan to harm or kill Cynthia Kisser President of the Cult Awareness Network. Reportedly one suggested method was to cut the brake lines in her car. Attempts were made to menace a Catholic priest, Father Kent Burtner. Michael Flynn the Boston attorney who represented ex-scientologists against Scientology had to make an emergency landing in his plane. It was later discovered that there was water in his fuel. Charles O'Reilly (Wollersheim's attorney) was mysteriously pistol whipped by an unknown assailant the night before he had to argued the Wollersheim appeal at the California Appellate court and that even more coincidentally on that very same night, too conveniently congruent with Scientology's previous black PR false drug abuse campaign on O'Reilly, drug paraphernalia was planted in O'Reilly's home. Besides the Fishman conspiracy to commit murder affidavit on Wollersheim contained in the appendix called "Scientology's History of Criminality" a second affidavit regarding another conspiracy has been recently received from another source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWORN STATEMENT I Malcolm Claude Nothling, the undersigned, hereby state the following under oath: 1.) I am a Caucasian male 38 years of age, born on 31/08/54. 2.) I was a dedicated member of The Church of Scientology from 1979-1986. 3.) I served in the Special Forces in the South African Defense Force. During this period I became highly skilled in handling firearms. This information was known by senior members of the Church of Scientology in South Africa. 4.) In May 1986 I was requested to take up an administrative position at the Church of Scientology's headquarters in Los Angeles. 5.) I arrived in Los Angeles on 6th Jun. 1986 expecting to take up an administrative post that urgently needed to be filled. A week after arriving I was seconded to assist with demonstrations outside the Los Angeles Supreme Court in which he case between Lawrence Wollersheim and the Church of Scientology was being heard. 6.) I was also promised by the Church of Scientology, on arrival in Los Angeles, that they would attend to some of my previous counseling that had gone horribly wrong. I was experiencing suicidal feelings and feelings of anger and destruction. It required a tremendous effort on my behalf to restrain myself. I had previously submitted a report to the Religious Technology Center of my condition. 7.) During June/July 1986 I was approached by two Scientologists from the San Francisco area, specifically Concorde. Unfortunately I cannot recall their names but one of them had a sign writing business in that area. They proposed that I should assassinate Larry Wollersheim. They would organize the weapon and whatever else I needed to accomplish this task. I cannot say with any accuracy whether or not they had been instructed to organize this from a higher level within the organization. However, I now find it disturbing that Scientologists, myself included at the time, can consider this method of resolving what they consider to be a problem. In fact I blame the policy within the Church of Scientology known as the "Simon Bolivar" which encourages these acts against supposed enemies. At the time I seriously considered committing this crime but believed that I was going to be used as the "fall guy" because it would have been easy thereafter to show that I was demonstrating and stating that I found myself in an unstable condition. When I declined I fell out of favor with the Church of Scientology and was expelled without a hearing and on trumped up charges for which I am currently suing the Church of Scientology. 8.) The above is true and I am willing to submit to a polygraph test or any other method to establish the integrity of my statement. (His signature and notary signature appears here.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A high level Scientology intelligence director who has since defected told me about a favorite technique of Scientology's intelligence people. They set one of their own expendable people up, make them look crazy, (incriminating affidavits etc.,) then disavow them and let them act out the original covert operation plan but now because they look like they have been kicked out by the group, Scientology now has pausable deniability under the guise that the "disavowed" individual was a renegade acting on its own. In this case, I believe Malcolm was this expendable person but didn't realize fully that he was being set up until later. It is not at all out of character that Scientology went to him through nebulous third parties for the assassination. They have detailed personnel records, (sequential job histories and skills,) on everyone that comes into the organization. They knew Malcolm had the Special Forces skills to pull this off. They fed the info to outside operatives to blur the direct connection to them and had those operatives try to set Malcolm up to do the job after they had set up their alibi on Malcolm. Part two: Scientology And Its New Practice Of "Legal" Brutality "Legal" brutality is the deliberate orchestration of numerous different actions that are designed to make the execution of the justice process impossible. They are tactics which are designed to punish, obstruct, delay, intimidate, stop the proceedings, or to deliberately create a mistrial. They are used when you are reasonably certain you are going to lose the case and/or you want to stop a adverse precedent from being established. These are the tactics of losers and spoilers. Scientology's main defenses besides its first amendment religious immunity defenses is to rely on pounding its adversaries into inaction or flight by wearing or breaking them down. To overwhelm and introvert through complexity and confusion, 100 suits have been filed just against the IRS alone. This overwhelm, confuse, and introvert tactic also shows up in the courtroom where Scientology uses 3,4, sometimes as many as 7 different criminal lawyers from different firms to simultaneously hammer, intimidate, and bully the judge, jury, witnesses, court staff, security people and prosecutors. They use near continuous objections, gallery interruptions, and other miscellaneous non-procedural efforts often to set up their own mistrial for appeal. Their attorneys and their in-courtroom gallery operatives deliberately create an atmosphere of intimidation and fear. Everything and anything is done to increase their opponent's expenses and delay the proceedings. This Scientology style "legal brutality" is not a search for justice but again reminds one more of the older strategies of coercive persuasion, the breaking down of prisoners of war by constant psychological coercion, intimidation, and stressful interrogation by multiple interrogators. It is a primitive, brutal, and almost primal effort to establish pure dominance over the justice system. An additional part of the design of this "legal brutality" is to punish anyone involved for ever daring to sit in judgment of Scientology. It seems like Scientology deliberately wants to destroy even the possibility of rebuilding its completely destroyed reputation by continuing to try to become a notorious legend to help dissuade future litigants and lawyers from even thinking about using the justice system against them. "The Lotticks lost their son, Noah, who jumped from a Manhattan hotel clutching $171, virtually the only money he had not yet turned over to Scientology. His parents blame the Church and would like to sue but are frightened by the organization's reputation for ruthlessness." From the May 6, 1991 Time magazine article. Now add to Scientology's already formidable anti-adversary arsenal the fact that Scientology hires criminal defense attorneys for its civil cases and spends an estimated 20 million a year for 100 attorneys. This estimate for Scientology's total annual legal expenditures still may be grossly underestimated. When one adds in covert operation expenses by intelligence operatives, additional hired private investigators, their unprecedented large public relations expenses used to patch up their most embarrassing legal problems, and the thousands of its own world wide staff working full or volunteering part time in these legal, intelligence, and public relations areas, Scientology's real total legal expenses may run as high as $70 to $100 million a year.Still, not at all an unreasonable cost for "doing business as usual" to protect $200-$500 million a year in exceedingly high profit, often tax free gross income. The following will demonstrate how Scientology is putting the justice system and justice process in turmoil and peril by pioneering this new practice. 17.) Swearing out false lawsuits to intimidate, harass, stop, and discredit a critic or enemy. 18). Repeated usage of frivolous and expensive lawsuits to deter individuals or the media from stating anything hostile to Scientology, whether factual or not. 19.) "Bludgeoning" opposing witnesses 20.) Repeated ignoring of court orders and authority. 21.) Attacking judges to stop or slow the case from proceeding. 22.) Do everything possible to create their own mistrial. 23.) Extensive suppression of critical information. 24.) Filing meritless complaint with legal medical and other professional ethics boards. 25.) Possibly creating dummy cases where in fact Scientology is the hidden controller and financier of both the plaintiff and defendant positions. ... 17.) Swearing out false lawsuits to intimidate, harass, stop, and discredit a critic or enemy. The FBI discovered that Scientology's intelligence operatives tried to discredit Gene Allard a former high ranking member who had become a government witness on Scientology's financial fraud by filing a lawsuit that falsely claimed he had stole 27,000 dollars from Scientology. Scientology routinely swears out false charges knowing there is no real penalty in the American legal system for doing so. Recently they went to the Glendale California police and made a groundless kidnapping complaint Pricilla Coates the Director of an LA cult education group. 18). Repeated usage of frivolous and expensive lawsuits to deter individuals or the media from stating anything hostile to Scientology, whether factual or not). To bury the party suing Scientology in expenses and break their financial ability to pursue justice Scientology foods the dockets with motions, sues those who sue it in multiple jurisdictions, and sues the plaintiff's lawyers. Scientology has files over 100 lawsuits on the IRS, (one of them a 120 million dollar suit.) Boston personal injury lawyer Michael Flynn, for example, who at one time represented more than two dozen plaintiffs against the church, was sued by the church more than a dozen times in four jurisdictions for everything from contempt to defamation. (All the suits were eventually dropped or dismissed.) A recently discovered operation called "Plan 100" call for 100 lawsuits to be filed on one of its bitter enemies the Cult Awareness Network. Over the last year, (1992) the church has mounted an all out war against the Cult Awareness Network. According to the can Executive director Cynthia Kisser, there are nine suits pending against CAN by individual Scientologists and church entities in five different jurisdictions, with charges ranging from discrimination-alleging that CAN'S refusal to admit Scientologists to join as members constitutes religious discrimination---to fraud and deceit. "They are trying to bankrupt CAN," claims one lawyer involved in the litigation. "Its as simple as that." All of Wollersheim's key lawyers were sued by Scientology in a RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.) After 12 years and hundreds of thousand dollars in cost it was finally dismissed against me in July 1992. In 1993 just months after losing the RICO suit Scientology filed another new harassment "try to break them financially suit," Scientology V. Wollersheim. No. C 332 027. Peter Georgiades who has represented several clients suing Scientology was sued recently for defamation. One suit was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and another was filed later in another jurisdiction which is still pending. Scientology also filed a $416 million dollar libel suit against Time for its recent article on Scientology. Time's attorney stated, "Our second ground (for dismissal) is that Scientology is libel proof," says Abrams. "The church has so often been held to commit evil and despicable acts by courts and so often been written about in an extremely critical manner by others that it has no reputation for libel laws to defend or rehabilitate." 19.) "Bludgeoning" opposing witnesses. Scientology is notorious for using the courtroom stand to continue to punish former members brave enough to speak out. In the Wollersheim trial Cooley (their attorney) kept Wollersheim on the stand two weeks and used confidential auditing confessional material for this purpose. "At the [Wollersheim] trial Scientologists packed the courtroom and hallways of the courthouse and regularly interrupted the proceedings by protesting against alleged religious discrimination. "I'd let the jury out, let the [protesters] blab on, and then let the jury back in," says Swearinger. "It didn't bother me." Swearinger says he thought Cooley's histrionics were "comical" rather than effective, and that he often caught the jury, "rolling their eyes" at Cooley's "loud talk and hostility to opposing counsel and witnesses." 20.) Repeated ignoring of court orders and authority. For example, "On April 17 of this year [1992] Cooley, church general counsel William Drescher, and Bowles and Moxon named partner Kendrick Moxon were among a team of church lawyers soundly rebuked in a federal court ruling for their willingness to: "literally flout court orders and defy the authority of the courts." In his opinion Los Angeles Federal Special master [judge ] James Kolts called the church's tactics a: "cynical and unfair use of the judicial system." According to a transcript of the hearing, despite having been admonished not to raise issues covered in the briefs -- which included the Time cover -- Cooley jumped right in. "I'd like to address that Time magazine article, Your Honor, because I think it's crucial," he told Judge Letts. The judge disagreed, but that apparently did not deter Cooley. When Cooley continued to bellow over the ringing of the judge's gavel, Letts summoned the marshals. According to the opposing lawyer Cooley scurried out of the courtroom moments before two marshals arrived." After the court had ordered Wollersheim's files while in Scientology produced for the trial, Scientology destroyed all incriminating sections and altered whatever else it thought it could slide by. Scientology takes the attitude it is above the law and the only way you will get them to abide by it in substantial issues is to catch them violating it and FORCE them all the way to do what is required of them. This is part of the "legal" brutality philosophy that makes bringing them to justice so difficult and expensive. 21.) Attacking judges to stop or slow the case from proceeding. Besides what has been said earlier: "California Superior court judge Ronald Swearinger, who presided over the Wollersheim trial, describes the case itself as anything but normal: Church trial layer Earl Cooley and his co-counsel the late John Peterson filed a number of unsuccessful "writs and motions" throughout the trial in an attempt to halt it, according to Judge Swearinger. Three days into the trial the judge says they moved for his disqualification based on, "some secret conversation I had with someone I never heard of." They also filed a section 1983 federal civil rights action against both him and the judge who sat on the case prior to him, says Swearinger, on the theory that by allowing the case to go to trial, the judges were denying the church its civil rights." This statement, as carefully documented in the previously mentioned appendices, shows Scientology attacking judges on anything and everything Scientology can invent. The record shows that this is standard policy and procedure for Scientology in and out of the courtroom. Scientology's history in civil and criminal trials, detailed in the appendices, provides an overwhelming preponderance of evidence to the truth of this statement. In addition to the numerous examples of Scientology's continuous attack strategy against judges, described in the two previously mentioned articles and in the included appendices will be found the relentless ongoing pattern of attacking every judge on bias. This can be seen happening again in yet another more recent example. "Just last fall Cooley was brought in to argue the church's motion to recluse Los Angeles Federal Judge James Ideman who was sitting on three cases involving Scientology, based on the judges supposed bias toward the church... The church lost the reclusal motion and eventually appealed the decision up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to grant certiorari." For more details on Scientology's outrageous history of attacks on judges, see the two newspaper articles "Prior Sect Try at Judge Reported" and "Scientology's War Against Judges" at the end of this appendix. 22.) Do everything possible to create their own mistrial. Scientology creates an atmosphere of fear and bizarreness to attempt to create bias against themselves. As a deliberate fall-back appeal position if they lose Scientology attempts to create grounds for its own mistrial. They commit outrageous and unsociable acts in the courtroom which are deliberately designed to create an impression of bias or prejudice. In light of the continual hammering by Scientology's mistrial-promoting tactics and in light of its other deliberate intimidation and stress-promoting tactics to obstruct the justice process, because Scientology's courtroom antics are socially repugnant and personally threatening and these acts naturally may make people feel wary and alienated any judge can be seen to be facing a difficult legal situation at best. Affidavits and trial records should be thoroughly reviewed from the former criminal and civil judges, prosecutors, and opposing attorneys who have had the unique first-hand experience of trying to apply justice in a court of law to Scientology. From these records, and review of the Wollersheim trial record, this court will quickly get a clear perspective of Scientology's many mistrial prompting tactics. 23.) EXTENSIVE SUPPRESSION OF CRITICAL INFORMATION. When it concerns "freedom of information" or free press rights exposing Scientology, Scientology is at war with the outside world. This war has consisted of: attempting to use federal trade secret laws designed for business usage to try to silence anyone trying to expose information critical to Scientology. This is done by: A.) Attempting to establish new interpretations of copyright laws to silence factual information hostile to Scientology, the recent "Hubbard biography" copyright precedent. These interpretations originally hindered the publishing industry's free press rights to present important biographical facts on Hubbard that the public has a right to know, or needs for its protection. After considerable expense this precedent has now been reversed. B.) Attempting to, or successfully sealing court cases and records during or after litigation, for example, Church of Scientology v. Armstrong No.C. 420153 Cal. Super. CT.(1984). The information contained in the Armstrong case clearly showed the actual intentions, motivations and nature of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. These authoritative documents also evidenced the actual origins and nature of his created alter ego, Scientology and Dianetics. They showed a massive, critical, and fundamental contradiction to what Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard publicly claim themselves to be. The Armstrong documents represent the unifying "hub of the wheel" for all previous taxpayer paid, or other world wide disclosures on Scientology. Of itself, the Armstrong case is the single most critical piece of the Scientology puzzle that ever has become available and, Scientology fears its broad dissemination! Scientology's continuous efforts to seal the Armstrong public record underscores its importance. Former members have commented, that if when they were evaluating Scientology's actual intentions and statistics using Scientology's own "doubt" formula, if they would have seen all these Hubbard archival documents, no matter how long they had been a loyal Scientology member, they would have abandoned the organization as a complete sham. C.) Attempting to use copyright laws AND then unreasonable search and seizure to inhibit its adversaries and/or suppress archival material on Scientology. D.) Restricting evidence access. Scientology lawyers have been temporarily successful in restriction freedom of information requests for access to the thousands of documents seized from church headquarters in an authorized search by the FBI. Because of Scientology's use of a special language, Scientologese, and special security encoding much of this seized FBI information may still need translation, coordination, or distribution to the victims for possible legal actions. At the least, these restricted documents are still useful and vital to educators and the media for understanding the REAL Scientology. Access has been restricted to these highly damaging documents in part by Scientology's having to be informed in the approval process of the identity of anyone making such requests. The potential danger of such prior notice to Scientology is apparent from seized FBI documents. E.) Stealing books and materials from public agencies. The Nazis burned books; Scientology ran operations to steal all books and materials critical of it from U. S. public libraries. I was directly in touch with one of the operatives involved in the thefts from the LA library system. Former Scientologists Robert Dardano and Warren Friske who testified to the systematic theft and destruction of books critical of the Church from libraries throughout New England. Scientology keeps much of the information in these materials among those highest inner few who have passed extensive security and loyalty tests. Because sensitive or critical information is withheld or given on a strict "need to know" basis, the vast majority of lower level Scientologists that are neither intensively involved nor have risen to high positions on staff are generally aware of the contents of these materials. Celebrities such as Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Kirste Alley or others, who have endorsed and are publicly promoting Scientology unfortunately, are consistently the most isolated and least informed regarding the crucial evaluative information on Scientology presented in these materials. All of the previously mentioned, plus the other techniques covered in the following "Pervasive Pretext" and "Scientology's Actions Toward Its Adversaries" sections, will conclusively show that while Scientology sponsors "freedom of information" attacks on its adversaries, IT WILL NOT TOLERATE the same basic freedoms when it comes to itself or particularly its members. By hiding its crimes and continuous abuses, Scientology is trying to avoid the just and necessary social awareness and censure. If Scientology is allowed to continue to effectively use these various sealing tactics AND its other adversarial tactics no one will be informed enough to make rational decisions about Scientology. 24.) Filing meritless complaint with legal medical and other professional ethics boards. "Plaintiff's attorney Charles O'Reilly claims he became a target for retaliation after he won a 30 million dollar jury verdict against the church on behalf of former Scientologist Larry Wollersheim... O'Reilly contends that, in the years following the verdict, he was questioned by the California State bar for substance abuse, (the inquiry was eventually dropped,) by the IRS, (the investigation is ongoing,) and by the state tax franchise board, (no charges were ever brought.) In addition, the church wrote nine letters of complaint to the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers about (Michael) Flynn alleging unethical conduct ... Cooley insists that at least one complaint against Flynn was justified. "Flynn had a corporation called FAMCO in which shares were sold to lawyers throughout the country to participate in a nationwide program of civil litigation against the church!" ... according to a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers, Flynn has never been the subject of a disciplinary action. Someone else who incurred the Church's wrath is Dr. John Clark, an American psychiatrist and outspoken critic of Scientology. According to the Latey decision, "Beginning in 1977 the Church of Scientology has conducted a campaign of persecution against Dr. Clark. They wrote letters to the Dean at the Harvard Medical School and to the director of the Massachusetts General Hospital. They refused to gag him. Scientology agents tracked down and telephoned several of his patients and interviewed his neighbors looking for evidence to impugn his private or personal actions. They submitted a critical report to a Committee of the Massachusetts State Senate. On three occasions during the last five years a Scientology "front" called the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights has brought complaints against him to the Massachusetts Board of Registration alleging improper professional conduct. In 1980 he was declared a "Number One Enemy" and in 1981 they brought two law suits against him (summarily dismissed, but costly and worrying). They distributed leaflets at the Massachusetts General Hospital offering a $25,000 reward to employees for evidence which would lead to his conviction on any charge of criminal activity. They stole his employment record from another Boston hospital. They convened press conferences calculated to ruin his professional reputation." Those voices that have warned of the Scientology danger have had to pay a heavy price. Adjunct Professor of Psychology Margaret Thaler Singer at UC Berkeley, Professors of Psychiatry Louis J. West at UCLA, John G. Clark of Harvard, Martin J. Orne at University of Pennsylvania, Professor of Law Richard DelGado of the UW Madison, and Professors of Sociology, Richard Ofshe at UC Berkeley, and Ronald Enroth of Westmont College have all been the targets of both professional and personal attacks. Besides distortions of truth and outright lies, charges that they are CIA operatives, associated with Nazi's, anti religious or the like, have been common. Those who continue to speak out become targets of sophisticated intelligence programs to silence them. Expensive lawsuits are filed. Spurious complaints are filed against the victim's lawyers with state Bar associations. Manufactured complaints are frequently registered with medical licensing boards or other regulatory agencies against the professionals who dare testify for the victims. These harassment programs are not created to win but to tie up the time and resources of this new generation of Patrick Henrys. When lawsuits do enter the court system, they are usually settled out of court before any unfavorable verdict is reached. Then, as part of the settlement agreement to forestall public attention the case is sealed. 25.) Possibly creating dummy cases where in fact Scientology is the hidden controller and financier of both the plaintiff and defendant positions. There is a new suspicion that in an effort to lessen the blow of its many court defeats and as a means to try to overturn or lessen the blow from the precedents of these losses Scientology has entered into a new level of covert operations on the justice system. Possibly in collusion with other organizations that are using thought reform techniques who currently have cases pending, In these suspected dummy cases Scientology uses its operatives and the cooperation of the other organizations under similar suits for using thought reform techniques. Besides creating a perfect plaintiff and creating a perfect or near perfect case, testimony, and "evidence" scenarios that are most advantageous to trying to overturn or mitigate some injurious previous ruling against it, this false suit ruse may also include first sponsoring false scientific studies using pre-rehersed members who already have just the perfect symptoms and answers to set a new precedent or mitigate an old precedent as subjects to prove that thought reform doesn't exist or that their members show none of its effects. Recently there has been a dis-information campaign to misrepresent the current scientific literature, discredit existing experts, and seal disclosures about thought reform technologies used in groups like Scientology. Within both the American Psychological Association and the American Sociological Association campaigns have been launched, in effect asking that this technology be declared nonexistent. One case that has been highly suspicious in this area has been the Holy Spirit Association for Unification of World Christianity [the Moonies] v. David Molko and Tracy Leal U.S. 88-1600. When you are involved in a suit with Scientology and its allies it is necessary to be aware of any other suits that seem to just conveniently "pop up" on issues similar to yours especially if they seem perfectly tailored to effect your suit adversely. While prosecuting the Wollersheim case one more than one occasion we had to deal with this phenomena of highly suspicious outside cases seeming being engineered and created to disrail the Wollersheim case. In Summary, Scientology's "Legal" brutality tactics adds a new low to the familiar legal saying, "If you have a good case, you argue the facts. If the facts don't suit you, you argue the law. If you don't have the law on your side, confuse the issues." With "legal" brutality tactics you don't try to confuse the issues your target is to actually break down the justice process anywhere and everywhere you can. When applied as a single tactic, (as done by some individuals in the past,) the tactic may be considered borderline legal or borderline unethical. When many of these tactics are applied together these tactics create a new previously unheard of threat to the justices process and to its spirit. They put the integrity of the justice process in peril. THE LAST SECTION OF Scientology's TACTICS ARE THOSE THAT ARE OVERT OPERATIONS 26.) Bald faced direct lying, 27.) Professional propaganda campaigns. 28.) Setting up and using "social reform" groups whose real purpose is to defend Scientology and attack their enemies. 29.) Using a front law firm as a de facto extension of Scientology's intelligence division and intimidation intelligence strategy. 30.) Deliberately recruiting and using "do anything to get the fee" private investigators. 31.) Possibly buying political influence. ... 26.) Bald faced direct lying, Scientology training to lie effectively has raised lying to a precisely practiced art form. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] INTELLIGENCE SPECIALIST TRAINING ROUTINE - TR L Purpose: To train the student to give a false statement with good TR-1. To train the student to outflow false data effectively. Position: Same as TR-1 Commands: Part 1 "Tell me a lie". Command given by coach. Part 2 interview type 2 WC by coach. Training Stress: In Part 1 coach gives command, student originates a falsehood. Coach flunks for out TR 1 or TR 0. In Part 2 coach asks questions of the student on his background or a subject. Student gives untrue data of a plausible sort that the student backs up with further explanatory data upon the coach's further questions. The coach flunks for out TR 0 and TR 1, and for student fumbling on question answers. The student should be coached on a gradient until he/she can lie facilely. Short example: Coach: Where do you come from? Student: I come from the Housewives Committee on Drug Abuse. Coach: But you said earlier that you were single. Student: Well, actually I was married but am divorced. I have 2 kids in the suburbs where I am a housewife, in fact I'm a member of the P.T.A. Coach: What town is it that you live in? Student: West Brighton Coach: But there is no public school in West Brighton. Student: I know. I send my children to school in Brighton, and that's where I'm a P.T.A. member. Coach: Oh, and who is the Chairman there? etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EVIDENCE FROM AUTHORIZED FBI SEARCH.] B O A R D T E C H N I C A L B U L L E T I N OF 10 DECEMBER 1969 REISSUED AS BTB 21 JUNE 1975 CANCELS HCO Bulletin of 10 DECEMBER 1969 SAME TITLE PRO COURSES Not for distribution CONFIDENTIAL REPORTER TRS 1. Answering non loaded questions Purpose: To train a PRO to answer such question with confidence and simplicity as are often asked by reporters. E.G., What is Scientology? What's Clear, OT? How does an E-Meter work? Method: The PRO and 'reporter' sit across a table facing each other. The 'reporter' asks the questions and the PRO must answer, without a long communication lag and in a way which readily communicates to the reporter. The drill is coached as in the TRs. The drill is passed when the PRO is confident he can answer the basic questions asked about Scientology. 2. No Answer Purpose: To train a PRO to give a 'no answer' to questions he has no wish to answer directly. Method: To begin with the reporter reading the questions asked LRH by 'The Sun' reporter Victor Chapple -- and the PRO reads LRH's answers. This is just to accustom him to the idea of 'no answer'. Then using different questions, the PRO gives 'no answers'. The trick is to appear to answer the question by giving generalized statements in simple terms so that the reporter doesn't realize that his question hasn't been answered. The PRO should be completely causative over the communication and end it with certainty, so that the reporter gets this and goes on to the next question. 3. Non sequitur events Purpose: To enable a PRO to practice getting his "message" across and tag it on to any current event. Also a preparation for the day when our PROs will be asked to comment on current events. Method: One person has a newspaper in front of him and reads out a headline (and perhaps a line or two of the story if necessary for the PRO's understanding of it). Ask the PRO what comment he would like to make on it. The PRO should comment briefly and lead from this into his message. This drill is passed when the PRO can tack a message on to virtually any event, smoothly and with reality. 4. Handling a suppressive T.V. Interviewer Purpose: To train a PRO to get his message across in spite of the 'interviewer', in the few short minutes usually available on television. This is so that ... million people have no doubts after the programme what the Scientologist stands for and what he is against. Method: The PRO and interviewer face each other and the interviewer asks questions. The PRO attaches his message in varying forms to as many answers as possible. If the interviewer is SP he must be introverted as in the hat write up, and then the PRO has his "say". The interview has been successful when the PRO has got his message across to his satisfaction. 5. Handling an SP a) By overwhelm Purpose: To train a PRO to be able to establish Ethics presence over an SP reporter if the occasion arises, by such things as shouting, banging, pointing, swearing. To do this completely causatively until the poor reporter is 'caved in'. Method: The reporter and PRO sit across a table facing each other and the reporter asks SP questions. The PRO overwhelms without judgment in answer to the SP question until he does it with reality, causativeness and the overwhelm really reaches the reporter. TR 1 is a part of this skill -- there is no point saying the words if they don't reach the other guy. b) By being knowingly covertly hostile Purpose: To train the PRO to handle an SP reporter by word alone without the use of force as in (a). He uses the word as a rapier and plunges it at the reporter, so that the reporter introverts and drops the question. Method: The PRO and reporter sit across a table and the reporter asks SP type questions. The PRO observes what would be a button in relation to the question asked and throws this back with good TR 1 so that it reaches home. If the reporter is introverted the PRO is successful. If the reporter persists with the same question the PRO should not press the same button -- it obviously didn't work. He should drop it and use another one. If the PRO cannot think of a snide reply the reporter should just say "flunk, you haven't handled me. Start", or some such remark -- but should not tell the PRO what to say. When the confusion has come off the PRO will be able to handle and have a big win. The drill is completed when the PRO is willing to create a cave in with an accurate snide remark, question or statement. c) By stalling for time Purpose: To train a PRO to maintain his confront and composure when given some SP sensational news by a reporter, of which he has no prior knowledge. Method: The reporter asks the PRO for his comments on an entheta situation involving a Scientologist. The PRO maintains his ethics presence and duplicates the reporter's nasty angle to his satisfaction. He then stalls for time and gets the reporter to wait a few minutes or hours or so (whatever is necessary) while he checks his facts. The drill is passed when the PRO is confident that he could not be taken off guard by a reporter by being presented by an unknown situation. d) By handling the reporter in front of you (verbal Karate) Purpose: To train a PRO to handle the reporter in front of him, with judgment in present time. Method: The PRO and the reporter sit across a table facing each other. The PRO is asking a miscellany of questions. If it is a genuine question, he can answer it, if possible tacking his message on to the reply. If the question puts the least bit at effect, he takes this flow and turns it towards the reporter with an even greater velocity. He does this either by a snide remark, question or comment, or by physical overwhelm, whichever seems the right action to establish ethics presence. He should never allow himself to be put at effect, and should not tolerate it even for an instant, but immediately attack back. The drill is passed when the PRO no longer uses a machine or method to handle the reporter - but he is totally there, confident and handling. Comment If your student experiences difficulty on these TRs one of two things are out: a) Scientology TRs 0 - IV are not flat or b) he slipped through a previous Reporter TR without a weakness or button on him being found and flattened. History These drills have been evolved by PRO WW to train anyone on a gradient scale to handle any situation a reporter could pose. They are based on the HCOP/L 3.2.69 Public Image which states "Don't defend Scn, attack bad conditions and bad hats!" by Sheila Gaiman PRAWW From the hat write up of David Gaiman PR Chief WW Reissued as BTB by Flag Mission 1234 I/C CPO Andrea Lewis BDCS:AL:DG:SG:al for the Copyright 1969
