"The Art of Deception"
by Arnie Lerma
"In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act." George Orwell
Dedicated to Paulette Cooper and all those who went before
Preface
Hubbard was master of only one thing, the Art of
Deception. Where he learned it is currently a subject of
discussion. The roots of the control mechanisms used by
Hubbard may have come from a mix of stage magic, mind
control, esoteric writings, perhaps inspired by the work
of George Orwell, author of '1984' or what are known as
black magic or satanic techniques used for the subversion
of the will.
Wherever it came from, it has the distinctive scent of
evil.
However, one doesn't need that answer to solve the
Scientology problem. It is only necessary to familiarize
oneself with the pattern of conduct of those who use this
'black art' to become effective at neutralizing their evil
influence over oneself as well as others.
I've been thinking about how he does it - attracts good,
well intentioned people, into his palace of deceptions.
I've also marveled at how he manages to keep up the
deception for so long. But not as much as I marvel now,
that this deception is tolerated at all, in modern society
anywhere, much less in the United States of America, the
purported leader of democracy and freedom in the world.
For 20 years I wondered exactly how Hubbard caught me in
his trap. My desire for this knowledge was to protect the
public order and safety. As bright as I might have been,
when I was 17 years of age, with as much understanding of
how things worked, that I could have been deceived in such
manner is just reason for pause and contemplation.
Because if these techniques could induce me to invest the
best decade of this life furthering this madness, I dread
to consider what it could induce others.
I left Scientology after ten years involvement, with my
life, which is more than I can say for a number of people
I knew and befriended personally during my involvement. I
also left with my core sanity, more or less intact, but
wish to remind my good reader that it took me 15 years
before I could even consider those questions for which I
thought Scientology had answers. Who am I? Why am I here?
Is there a God? I am not going to address those questions
here, as this missive is not about those things. It is
about one thing that claims to have those answers but, of
course, does not.
Introduction to the Art of Deception
Late at night you may have seen it, the picture of a
volcano and "Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental
Health", in the TV advertisements along with the latest
exercise gadget and a magic blue laundry ball (note 9)
that cleans clothes. Here are the Scientologists, late at
night, trolling for the clueless. Call 1-800-FOR-TRUTH,
they tell you. "For Truth" seems to echo for a while after
reading it, now, doesn't it? Well, hang onto your hats,
I'm going to work fast here, and tell you in my best Paul
Harvey style, "The rest of the story" behind that weird
looking volcano.
That odd looking advertisement is the tip of a tentacle of
an veritable octopus of corruption of almost galactic
proportions, and it all started with a book called
"Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health."
Before you even buy this book, it manages to use a
technique called deceptive implication. In the title is
the word "Science," just as in SCIENtology, the
implication is that there is science at its core. Of
course there is not!
After resisting efforts to get involved with Scientology
for a considerable period, I finally decided to give it a
try. This supposedly wonderful technology of the mind was,
after all, developed by a nuclear physicist, in order to
cure himself of crippling wounds received during active
duty as a highly decorated Navy hero.
Of course 25 years later, sitting amidst piles of
documents, including a copy of Hubbard's official Navy
record and a copy of his transcript from George Washington
University, I found that the entire premise for Dianetics
and its spawn, Scientology is, and has always been, a
complete fraud.
Hubbard was neither a war hero, highly decorated, wounded
in action, nor a nuclear physicist. His discharge papers
reflect the only affliction he seems to have acquired
while in the Navy was an urethral discharge.
If the entire stated premise for the creation of Dianetics
was a lie, then it follows that everything that comes
after it must also be a lie.
The first challenge for Scientology is getting an
opportunity to present these and the other implications
described above.
There are four major vectors that this virus of the mind
is using to permeate society.
1) Books written by L Ron Hubbard. Dianetics is one of the
most popular, and is likely one of the most effective for
reasons explained later.
2) Front groups. C.C.H.R. - Citizens Committee for Human
Rights, W.I.S.E - World Institute of Scientology
Enterprises, and a veritable alphabet soup of groups all
designed so that you won't know it is Scientology and L
Ron Hubbard's Art of Deception at work.
3) The best agents for this deception are their own
already hoodwinked members, using word of mouth. They are
paid a fixed commission of 5% or 10% for inducing others
to spend money on Scientology.
4) There are also indoctrination and recruitment centers,
in major cities around the world, currently posing as bona
fide "Churches" in the United States under an
unprecedented secret closing agreement with the United
States Internal Revenue Service. This agreement was
granted after a private investigator set up and video
taped a certain IRS Commissioner having sex with a 12 year.
This is statutory rape, not just a compromising situation.
I imagine our own government would prefer that this mess
get swept under the carpet.The private investigator was
most likely working double-blind. This describes a pattern
of conduct. An operative will be working for one law firm
which in turn is working for another law firm, which is
working for Scientology. Thus any potential legal
discovery process is blocked by the Attorney/Client
Privilege.
. This the pattern they use for their dirty tricks
operations, for which they have a long and ignoble
documented history. These indoctrination centers refer to
people who are not Scientologists by the term, "raw meat".
The most popular way they find their "raw meat" is to use
street hawkers, who pass out seemingly innocuous tickets
on street corners that offer "TO ADMIT ONE" to a free
movie and personality analysis.
All of this is well documented elsewhere. This piece is
not going to be about how bad they are. Most people know
that. In fact, it is becoming difficult to hand out flyers
about "How bad they are" on the street these days, as most
folks say,"I KNOW"! But what these same people don't know,
and what is most important to those who are currently
under the spell of Hubbardian Cosmology don't know, is the
purpose of what you are reading right now, and that is to
explain how the machinery of deception works.
Now ladies and gentlemen, here is the rest of the story.
Scientology's Step Number One is "FAIR GAME"
Scientology's use of the FAIR GAME LAW [c] L Ron Hubbard,
will be disputed only by deluded adherents. This maxim has
been described in court cases as the policy used to "if
possible, destroy utterly" those who seek to "harm"
Scientology. What is harmful of course, is truth, public
inquiry, and government scrutiny.
However, this technique starts at the first contact with
the public.
There is a published drill called the "DISSEMINATION
DRILL" which consists of the following patter. First, talk
to the person for a while. The excuse commonly used to
initiate this "talk" is a "FREE PERSONALITY TEST." In my
opinion the test is useless, and is just a stage prop,
onto which your attention is directed by the implication
of value of the "evaluation."
The "evaluation" is merely the opportunity for the
manipulator to locate something that Scientologists call
your "RUIN." This is the thing, item, pain, loss,
vulnerability, that you think is the source of your
highest concern as a problem in your life. This is the
thing that is "ruining" you.
The drill that is practiced is called "FIND THE RUIN."
Now once you locate what is "RUINING" this person's life,
regardless of what it is, he or she will state this:
"Scientology can help you with _________[that]. [Insert
the ruin found during discussion of the personality test
evaluation]
The facts show that Scientology cannot help you with
"THAT." In fact, those few that do 'think' this way, turn
out generally to be in a state of induced conviction. They
feel that they indeed found a solution, only to find out
years later that it was no more than a hidden effect
described later in this essay, and the placebo effect, as
expressed by the headline on the poster in "The X-Files"
Agent Mulder's office - "I want to believe".
Of course, if you don't get "THAT" handled immediately,
Scientology's trained- in-high-pressure-sales-techniques
salesmen will lead you to believe that you might get
"THAT" handled after the next expensive auditing step.
This continues until all your money is gone.
Alan Walters at "Kowledgism" and Mike Goldstein of
"Idenics" both tell me they have handled hundreds of cases
of people who never had handled what they came into
Scientology to handle. The alternatives to Scientology
that try to take the few diamonds that were there and use
them without the lies, and deceit, seem to handle these
things quickly, then folks just get on with their lives,
forgetting auditing. As Mike Goldstein laments, there
isn't much money in it, because it 'handles' these little
things so quickly.
Thus, in Scientology, "FAIR GAME" starts at the front door.
Dianetics - The on Ramp to Scientology
Once a person is thus duped into opening this book, the
entire implication of Dianetics is to get the trusting
adherent-to-be to mock up a reactive mind. How this
Reactive Mind works is explained in grisly, pedantic,
lugubrious, detail. Now, after learning how this
fabrication, this piece of science fiction, the 'reactive
mind', purportedly works, Hubbard uses this as the program
to trick you into creating your very own reactive mind.
Scientology even has the gall to promote Dianetics as "The
owners manual for the mind."
They claim that purported way out of this 'trap' which is
life on earth as we know it, across the Bridge to Total
Freedom [TM], is Dianetics and Scientology. However, if
anyone did in fact get across this bridge, I assure you
that you would not be reading this right now.
Scientology's Bridge to Total Freedom is no more real than
a theatrical production, or just a painting on the wall,
of what Spiritual Freedom might be like, and for enough
money, they will gladly paint you into the picture.
Instead of ability, you are given a picture of people who
look able. Instead of a Bridge, you get a picture of a
bridge. Instead of a "bank" or "reactive mind," you are
merely tricked into painting in this part yourself. Almost
like a paint-by-numbers picture. This is what creates the
Scientology trap. In Scientology words, you continue to
create the "reactive mind" in order to then audit it. Of
course all this is at great investment of your time and
money.
Wait, wasn't the Clear realization basically "yeah, you
made it all up anyway?" The Clear realization is my PROOF
of this CONCEPT. The official Scientology [TM] Clear
Cognition being "I MOCK UP MY REACTIVE MIND" or "I MOCK UP
MY BANK" or "I CREATE MY BANK."
The concept of the reactive mind was obviously fabricated.
This is psycho- political warfare, where ideas are the
weapons instead of bullets. It is essential that anyone in
contact with those living under the spell of L Ron
Hubbard's lies familiarize himself with these concepts, so
that they might effortlessly articulate them at every
opportunity, to break these good folks, once just like you
and me, out of this deception- induced trance. Instead of
just saying "Scientology is evil" or "Scientology is bad,"
explain this to those people under the undue influence.
It becomes "Scientology deceives you in this way" as
described herein.
Dianetics teaches you in grisly detail how this
complicated fabrication is constructed. While you think
you are learning the "secret" of the human mind, you are
instead being set up to swallow Scientology as the
ultimate solution for mankind. And of course "ultimate
solutions" go on to make otherwise unconscionable acts
possible.
The "reactive mind" you are then tricked into creating, or
"mocking up" is that very same 'reactive mind' that you
spend years getting rid of in Scientology. Pointing out
this conundrum to a scientologist would be both a
potentially devastating mind warp as well as one which
turns the powerful mechanics of the trap to our advantage.
All of this can be explained in 'Scientology speak' in
compelling fashion. Please use this while picketing them,
and during any contact with their basically good folks who
have been snookered.
Scientologists will chant, "You haven't tried it, You
won't know until you see for yourself" at anyone who dares
criticize Scientology's outrageous and bogus fabrications
masquerading as claims of efficacy.
Scientologists say "you can't understand it except by
doing it" and some people buy that. These are the same
people who believe a heroin pusher who claims "trust me,
you won't get hooked".
Misdirection of Attention - Another Magic Show Technique
Any questioning or inquiry by those being introduced to
the Scientology mind control program is dealt with by
careful and deliberate misdirection of attention onto
many, many, little details; rundowns, actions, clay table
training, and Training Routines, word clearing, etc. ad
nauseam.
Scientology uses this identical pattern of misdirection of
attention technique on judges as well as government
officials, media and critics on the Internet. They baffle
people with details that are meaningless, seeking to
fixate on inconsequential details - all with one express
intent and purpose, to ensure you miss the big picture.
"Ye shall know them by their acts"
It's just that these 'acts' are appropriate fare only in a
carnival magic show.
"Reality" in Scientology is defined as "AGREEMENT". To
maintain the apparency of this agreement critics must be
silenced, especially anyone who points out how the trick
is done. We are dealing with nothing more than a magic
show...of global proportions.
One hell of a trick.
Gradients of Deception
So how does one, on a gentle gradient, slide a person from
one 'reality' into a manufactured, and in the case of
Scientology, a science fiction style, 'reality'?
By telling him many self evident truths.
With which he agrees, and nods his head.
Salesmanship books teach this technique but instructing
the wanna-be high producer salesman to get the target's
head nodding in assent.
A person will not believe a lie, if it is stated alone.
You must CLOAK the lie you are trying sell in truth.
So I tell you a self evident truth. You think, "Yes." I
tell you another one and you think, "Yes," nodding your
head at same time. I tell you another self evident truth.
You think, "Yes."
I read you a bit of Aristotle. You think , "Yes," [ but I
don't tell you this is Aristotle ].
I read you some Plato and you think, "Yes," [ but I don't
tell you this is Plato ]. I read you some Freud. You
think, "Yes," [ but I don't tell you this is Freud ].
By now you feel that I am very clever indeed!
This product has been SCIENTIFICALLY tested! You think,
"Yes", because of the implication of the "also a lie" that
"Hubbard was a Nuclear Physicist.
Then I read you my science fiction. You think, "Yes", [
but I don't tell you this is my old Science Fiction! ].
The world needs my collection of truths. You think, "Yes,
if the prior is true, then this is OBVIOUSLY true too!"
I have these secret levels wherein I explain the secrets
of the universe. You think, "Yes, if the prior is true,
then this is OBVIOUSLY true too and a good idea. I
wouldn't want to 'ruin 'my ability to receive this vast
knowledge by doing something out of order".
I have the only bridge out. You think, "Yes, if the prior
is true, then this is OBVIOUSLY true too!" But you have to
give me your money and your life. You think, "Yes, if the
prior is true, then this is OBVIOUSLY true too!"
You are now in the jaws of the trap!
Oh and one more thing, you must not speak out about the
things you find that are not right, or if you disagree at
some point in the future, OK?
How much of my product do you want?
Congratulations, You have just been sold!
"What an astute, lucky man I am," you think, "Yes, indeed
I am, I have found what I have been looking for all my
life!"
You are now a Scientologist!
The Black Art of the Confidence Game
The Art of the "Con man" is the building confidence to
gain the credibility needed to then get the money.
Now some might say, "Well this is just basic marketing"
and indeed they are correct. Marketing is the art of
creating "perceived value" but with one caveat - there is
the assumption that the commodity in question in fact has
some inherent intrinsic value to begin with.
In Scientology, the entirety of the effort is to create a
sense of perceived value, starting with a perceived sense
of Hubbard's genius and ability.Scientologists use a big
chart, you will find it on the wall in any indoctrination
center, called "The Gradation Chart." This document
states, for example, that the 'ability gained' of
attaining all of the courses available in Scientology up
to "OT Level 8" will give you "Ability to be at cause,
knowingly and at will over Thought, Life, Form, Matter,
Energy, Space and Time subjective and objective."(Note 10)
Well, now, doesn't that sound like fun?Sure sounds like an
effort to create perceived value here. But then if just
one person ever attained this, I would likely not be here
to tell you these ugly truths.
The only intrinsic value of Scientology is the vast amount
of money that an artfully engineered con game can extract
from its targets. Much of this, to the tune of $26 million
a year (Note 8) is fed to lawyers to ensure that the
public at large will not find these things out until after
they have exhausted all their money, ruined their lives,
and now, penniless, try to fight a well financed legal
machine!
What a brilliant scheme! By the time they find out what it
is all about, if they are still capable of rational
thought processes, they will likely be unable to defend
themselves, so the lawyers can have a skeet shoot!
Complexity is Merely Another Tool
Scientology is proud to describe L Ron Hubbard as a
prolific writer. When you walk into a Scientology facility
and look at the bookstore, there are hundreds of L Ron
Hubbard titles. The implication of this is simply, "Well
there must be something to it." The inherent complexity of
what they call their technology is nothing more than an
additional tool, and a very effective tool, in their
toolbox of deception . As the years have gone by, I have
determined, that if it doesn't make sense to me, chances
are it does NOT make sense. Lets call this bafflgab. Now,
when you enter the Hubbardian Belief systems, you are
confronted with piles of material. In addition to the
implication that "there must be something to this", there
is an immediate assumption that one will never be able to
grasp it all. I contend that this is fabricated on
purpose. Just to have that exact effect.
In the litigation in RTC Vs Lerma, Scientology filed six
inches of filings to my Judge, ex-parte, that means
without me being notified. In six inches of filings they
stated that I was in possession of "stolen property".
Based on this the judge authorized a search and seizure on
my home, on Saturday morning at 9:30 AM, August 5th, 1995.
(Note 11)
Judge Brinkema was later informed that what I had scanned,
turned into text and posted to the Internet, was merely a
copy of an unsealed public court record, from the Central
District of California. This was the infamous Fishman
document. It contained 61 pages of purportedly Trade
Secret and Copyright super dooper "ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY" of
Scientology as exhibits, as well as the notorious "Christ
was a pedophile" issue purportedly a 'forgery.'
Long time scientologist Kendrick Moxon, however, tabbed it
as a copyright violation while reviewing my seized
computer at Earle Cooley's K Street law. Earle Cooley again
invoked bafflegab and said to the judge, "Well, that just
goes to show you have to have experienced people doing the
searches".
He failed to mention that Kendrick Moxon had been a
Scientologist for 20 years, and was one of the indicted
coconspirators in US Vs Mary Sue Hubbard in 1982, the
largest domestic spying case in US History.
Just like in 6 inches of filings they filed to get the
raid, Earle Cooley failed to mention that is was a copy of
a public record in a court case. Judge Brinkema found this
so outrageous that she raised this issue herself in so
many words in open court.
One experienced litigator, early on in the case remarked
about the voluminous filings, even Judge Brinkema
complained about the huge filings. The massiveness of the
filings was an attempt also to raise the expense in
lawyers time to digest this torrent of paper, in order to
run us out of money, before we could finish the case.
Which they did.
This experienced litigator pointed out to me that the
technique Scientology was using was this: You see this
huge filing, well, it implies that there must be something
there, some merit to the motion.
Once again, just like the bookstore crammed with books,
just like the thousands of taped lectures that you must
buy and listen to.
This all implies "There is something there"
But there is nothing there!
The amount of material one would have to digest to sort it
all out is beyond what one man could do in a lifetime. Ah,
but what better way to both maximize the amount of money
you get out of a person and make the runway long enough
they never get to the end, because if they do, they just
might find out what Michael Pattinson did.
That there is nothing there!
So the same tactics used to recruit 'raw meat' are used on
all "raw meat". Judges are just more "raw meat." To be
expertly manipulated, in exactly this manner, so there is
never a chance, under their horrific caseloads, especially
with the current level of understaffing, to sort through
the bafflgab.
Pretty clever, don't you think?
Pattern used in Dianetics is Repeated on Secret "Upper
Levels"
Allow me to refresh your memory about this important
concept. Dianetics describes itself as a blueprint for the
mind and introduces something called the reactive mind.
What this book really does, to anyone who reads it and
'thinks' they "understand it and that it makes sense" is
this:
Dianetics, causes the reader to assume his mind works this
way, and by implication, Dianetics causes the reader to
MOCK UP HIS OWN REACTIVE MIND
The proof of this conjecture is that after thousands of
dollars of 'Scientology auditing' the final end cognition
- realization, is in fact a true one - "I MOCK UP MY
REACTIVE MIND". Damn straight you do, only it doesn't
occur to you that you mock it up because of you read
DIANETICS!
So here we have the perfect scam.
A book that by IMPLICATION causes the adherent to create a
mock up of a reactive mind - Hubbardian style.
Then a complex, expensive, gobbldegoop, technology that
extracts the maximum amount of money for relieving the
same situation it created.
Now this PATTERN OF CONDUCT repeats itself on the UPPER
LEVELS that these charlatans, and their shyster lawyers
such as Earle Cooley, pedantically describe as ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY.
Oh, and speaking of shyster lawyers. Earle Cooley kept
repeating this phrase, "ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY" over, and
over, and over, at every opportunity, in full
capitalization too. During depositions, in pleadings and
in court, he was using this same technique of manipulation
by implication that Hubbard used in Dianetics, the Modern
"SCIENCE", etc., and "SCIEN"tology to deceive the public.
In an attempt to exert this same undue influence, this
same coercive persuasion was used upon United States
Federal Judge Brinkema, in RTC versus Lerma.
Hubbard only initiates those who have reached a state that
I like to describe as "Being willing to believe ANYTHING".
That is my definition of a Scientologist in the
"afterburner stages" of the scam. Which are designed to
consume any money they might still have left.
By inventing Body Thetans and the exclusive Copyright and
once Trade secreted means of removing them, NOTS {New Era
Dianetics for Operating Thetan), auditing, and the story
of Xenu and the Space cooties which is called "Incident
II", a part of OT Level III.
This purported incident that happened 75,000,000 years
ago. It concerned the evil ruler XENU, who after calling
in the inhabitants of 'this sector of the galactic
federation' for income tax audits, captured them, froze
their bodies in ethylene glycol, antifreeze, transported
them to earth, stacked up the billions of inhabitants
around volcanoes and then blew them up with hydrogen
bombs. In the ensuing melee the disembodied spirits were
gathered up with an "electronic ribbon" and "implanted"
using electronic force beams and bad movies. They were
then packaged into clusters and attached to you and me.
This is the source for many of the 'clusters of body
Thetans' that are stuck all over you. I assure you I am
not making this up, but Hubbard did, and tells you this is
the way things are. He calls this scene of his magic show:
"The Wall of Fire"
These same materials state that premature exposure to them
will cause a person to be awake for days, unable to sleep,
and then die of pneumonia. Shortly after I posted these
documents to the Internet (Note 6), the New York Times
closed an article discussing how dangerous this material
was supposed to be with a memorable sentence. It described
this claim of death to those not prepared by Scientology's
expensive 'techniques' to mentally deal with this ghastly
secret with one line:
"However, no epidemic has been reported."
Oh yes, and one more thing, about the volcanoes, you know
that volcano in the advertisement for Dianetics on last
night TV, that is supposed to be a subliminal reminder to
your soon to be acquired "reactive mind". That volcano is
supposed to remind you of this incident and compel you to
buy the book.
Hubbard even has a good laugh at you, when you are told to
'run' the incident described in this once secret level,
from the beginning up until you see the picture of the
"THE PILOT SAYING "I AM MOCKING IT UP"
I bet he's a jaunty looking nautical pilot with bad teeth
just like Hubbard.
Now, like one of those late night gadget commercials,
"Wait, there is still MORE":
At the END of this fraudulent 'BRIDGE TO TOTAL FREEDOM'
[TM] Religious Technology Center, there is another grand
revelation of massive import. Here is what you find out
after you have swallowed this $300,000 "WHOPPER"
"I now know what I am not, and am ready to find out what I
am" [source for this is Michael Pattinson "New OT8
completion" that now considers Scientology to be a
complete, and utter fraud].
Give me a break, isn't that why many of us joined
Scientology to begin with?
Maintaining the Illusion - Some techniques
Once you enter the Scientology Circus tent, in order to
maintain the illusion that "it works", the stage is
carefully choreographed. The things that you are allowed
to view are the props crafted to imply that Scientology is
truly a road to ability and ultimate truth.
Much is made of a few deluded big shot Hollywood stars'
names, but they are just stage props for your deception.
Much like that old TV series Mission Impossible, where
identities are stolen and situations fabricated in order
to gain access to the target.
Only the target in this case is your wallet.
To maintain the illusion, whenever someone inside the show
awakens, and realizes that it is in fact, just a show,
they are spirited away, and whisked from view.
You are told that they had a "psychotic break", and that
they are they ones who are crazy. You are very sane, you
see, as long as you give your money and your life to
Scientology and are not concerned about things going on
outside of Scientology's tent.
The policy used to accomplish this is called
"disconnection policy" and the policies for handling
folks, called "Handling PTS" [ PTS = Potential Trouble
Sources ] There is also expensive 'auditing' that you must
pay for to fix these "troublesome conditions" , which stem
mostly from just asking hard questions and exercising
common sense.
The public mark soon learns how to avoid these pitfalls,
and go along with the program, so he won't have to spent
the extra money to get his reward of a 'good feeling' from
his auditing experience, and can get up the bridge as fast
as possible.
RPF - Rehabilitation Project Force, nice name for a
'Church' Gulag
Those adepts who have had the misfortune to become
employed within this organization, and in my opinion,
those who know too much, and could possibly provide
damaging testimony against them, have another treat in
store for them.
It is my informed opinion that the intent of these
intentional stress inducing 'Slave Camps' is to
systematically create either a broken willed, obedient,
robot slave, who can now be trusted to never talk
critically (much like the two sad lovers in the end of
George Orwell's 1984), or to try to intentionally destroy
their minds, so that they will be unable to testify
against Scientology in a Court of Law.
The physical descriptions of the actual brain damage that
occurs when stress levels stay high for extended periods
of time indicate that this technique would do much to
erase the memories these folks would have otherwise
available to them, if called upon to testify.
A similar pattern of conduct of destruction of testimony
exists regarding hard documents and evidence critical of
Scientology. This long running program was titled
"Operation Snow White". It's entire intent was to remove
any information critical of Scientology from files,
wherever they might be found.
This express intent to destroy evidence is also the reason
Scientology sought, and then acquired, the huge volumes of
evidence, and information, gathered by the old Cult
Awareness Network. Today, if you call the Cult Awareness
Network, a Scientologist answers the phone, being owned,
controlled, and staffed by Scientologists.
This is a page right out of George Orwell's '1984' where
the government was rewriting history to make the present
conditions acceptable. Here an organization that would
love to run the world is already hard at work doing just
that.
Scientology's Rehabilitation Project Force is
Scientology's "Operation Snow White" for the human mind,
the intent and the result is the same.
Now for some details about why I feel this is true.
Induced Brain Damage by Scientology
The following information is based on animal studies-
rats, monkeys, dogs and the like. Quoted from: "Animal
Models of Depression and Schizophrenia" from section on
"Exhaustion Stress".(note 2)
"Hatotani and colleagues (1982) exposed female rats to
forced running in an activity wheel until the animals were
exhausted, as indicated by rectal temperature reaching 33
C or less [ body temperatures go below normal ] After
exposure to three sessions of forced running, each
separated by a 24 hour rest period, spontaneous motor
activity in rats is markedly depressed for several weeks.
This depression of motor activity was marked by complete
suppression of the diurnal peaks in spontaneous motor
activity seen in non stressed animals."
They go on to describe physical evidence found of changes in brain physiology in
various parts of the brain including the hypothalamus, that manages memory.
"Chronic Stress Model.
First introduced by Katz, Roth, and Carroll, this model is
generated by exposing rats to a succession of different
stressful conditions over a period of either 2 weeks (Roth
and Katz) or 3 weeks (Katz et al, 1981a), stressful
conditions consisting of mild uncontrollable foot shock,
cold swim, changing of housing conditions, reversal of
light and dark periods, and food and water deprivation."
What I found important was that the stressed rats
preferred sugar water solutions to plain water and that
various physical changes in brain physiology were noted
after examination of the brains themselves, some of these
changes were noted to take an extraordinary amount of time
to reverse themselves.
Also noted and measured was an increase to cortisteroid
levels in the brain. Cortisteroid levels are elevated when
there is cellular damage, and one of the functions of this
powerful hormone is to destroy damaged cells, however
chronically high levels of this hormone directly cause
healthy cells to be damaged.
Isolation/separation-induced depression in monkeys.
"Behavioral responses that appear similar to those seen in
severe depression have been elicited by separating young
monkeys from their mothers and normal social setting or
from their juvenile peers. Following separation, animals
initially display high activity accompanied by much
vocalization; this is labeled as the stage of "agitation"
or "protest" and usually lasts 24-36 hours. Following
this, this behavior pattern changes markedly, with the
animal then showing decreased activity, huddling and self
clasping, dejected and saddened facial expression and
generally decreased activity and exploration. (E.g.
Kaufman and Rosenblum 1967; McKinney et al. 1971 )" . This
sure looks like the RPF, ( Rehabilitation Project Force)
Isolation & running programs have induced brain damage as
a product of their use by Scientology.
After telling members that the Rehabilitation Project
Force will help them the result is destruction of
personality through induced stress related damage. The
constant subliminal electric current supplied by their
E-meter, described in the next section, might also be a
considered a hidden stress vector.
This is also the intended result of Scientology's
harassment and litigation techniques, to cause enough
stress to the individual, that they get ill and die, or
are induced to commit suicide as their lives, friends and
livelihood are systematically ruined.
In Spain, Scientology is under indictment for just this -
Inducement to Suicide.
I admire these men who would learn this information, and
publish what they learn from animal studies..
At least the "Evil PSYCHS" as Scientology describes them,
have the integrity to use animals... AND to disclose what
they find, for the betterment of man.
Unlike Scientology that runs these horrific stress
programs on people with the intent of destroying their
minds or in some cases pursuing them until death results
as they did to Lisa McPherson.
Psychiatry does this only to animals so that humans can
benefit from the knowledge.
Scientology does this to humans so that Scientology may
benefit from their silence.
The Real Secret - The Hidden Influence
In The FDA versus Article or Device Case [The E-Meter] the
Federal Government held that "by itself the E-meter does
nothing"
But ladies and gentlemen that was a conclusion based upon
the hard science available at that time. [ 1971 Gissell
Decision ] It is now 30 years later. The same science that
brought the controls on electromagnetic radiation
limitations for computer monitors is new science. And it
is not the varying magnetic and electric fields that cause
harm - it is the transformer like, induced electrical
currents in the human body due to those electromagnetic
fields.
This area of this inquiry is not yet concluded.
Preliminary data indicates that, if the published NATO,
USAF, IEEE and European Union's electromagnetic Field
(EMF) exposure limitations which are expressed in field
strength, are converted into an equivalent current through
a conductor described as the circuit between one's left
hand and one's right hand, then, the E-Meter exposes a
participant in the Scientology charade to an order of
magnitude greater exposure than what is considered
'acceptable' by published government recommendations.
Measurement made by this author, (who spent some time
while in Scientology actually involved in the building of
E-Meters) , of a Mark Super VII [TM] model of
Scientology's E-Meter yielded the following: The E-meter
exposes the human body to a hand to hand current of an
average value of approximately 300 Micro Amps. 1/3rd of
the value that is generally considered noticeable by a
person. In fact some members have reported to me, being
able to feel the current go through their bodies.
I am now going to outline 2 different analogies in order
to illustrate the hidden danger here. Electroplating
When a metal such as Chromium is plated onto another
metal, as in the production of chrome-plated hardware for
automobiles, the rate of deposition of chromium metal onto
the metal article is a function of the current in amperes
and the surface area being plated.
One can deposit the same amount of metal at one tenth of
one ampere in 1 minute, as one would deposit with 1
hundredth of an ampere in ten minutes - or - 1 thousandth
of an ampere in 100 minutes, or at 300 microamperes, the
process would take 5 hours.
There is an electrical unit called a Coulomb, which is in
fact defined in terms of grams of metal deposited. It is a
unit of charge. In fact it is an actual discrete number of
electrons - or charge carriers.
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics by Robert C Weast Ph.D.,
1968 defines the coulomb as: "A unit quantity of
electricity. It is the quantity of electricity which must
pass through a circuit to deposit 0.0011180 grams of
silver from a solution of silver nitrate. A coulomb is
also the quantity of electricity on the positive plate of
a condenser of one- farad capacity when the electromotive
force [ voltage ] is 1 volt.
The point being that if the number of actual charge
carriers is what is the factor, that is, if it is the
actual ionic transfers that do the work [ plate the metal]
or as I will illustrate later that mediate actual activity
at the cell wall boundaries, the opening and closing of
ion exchange pathways through individual cell walls, THEN
the E-Meter cannot be said to do nothing. It *IS* having a
physiological effect on internal and external cellular
functions.
The magnitude of charge provided to a human body in a 2.5
hour exposure to the E-meter is approximately 3 coulombs
The magnitude of charge provided to the human body by a
set of three shocks used in a single treatment of Electro
Convulsive Shock therapy, ECT, is only 1.2 coulombs
Ironic isn't it, that Scientology's pet arch demonic
enemy, Psychiatry, in shock treatment, give people 1/3rd
the dose of electric charge that Scientology will give the
unsuspecting public in one session?
Pain Killing Effect - or the Induced Endorphin Effect
There are various devices on the market, all licensed for
use by the FDA under the direction of a physician, which
consist of two electrodes which are applied to various
parts of the body. As in the treatment of lower back pain.
These are called TENS units - TENS is an acronym for
transient electro-neural stimulation. There are many
flavors of these devices, including devices that have been
clinically shown to provide pain relief from the effects
of the electrical currents they put through your body. The
method by which these devices provide the sensation of
pain relief has been the subject of much investigation.
The surprising findings indicate that direct electrical
stimulation of human body tissues evoke a release of
various peptides. Peptides are messenger molecules that
have specific sites on cell surfaces to which they bind.
These sites, called receptor sites, are extraordinarily
specific to individual peptides.
It is remarkable that the body has a group of peptides
called endorphin. These particular messenger molecules
evoke a pain killing effect when they bind at their
specific receptors. The opium family - morphine, heroin,
codeine, etc. all end up traveling a metabolic pathway to
create morphine, and morphine - the most effective pain
killer as well as most addictive one - binds at the same
sites as your bodies own endorphin.
One theory of how electrical pain killing works, is that
it induces the body to release its own endorphin. Studies
have shown that a small electrical stimulation with a
small morphine dose has a therapeutic effect of a larger
clinically significant dose. Which indicates there is a
close relationship between these two factors.
The actual amount of charge delivered to the body by many
FDA approved medical devices is of the identical order of
magnitude of the small current provided by the Scientology
E-Meter.
Thus I conclude that the E-meter directly provides a pain
killing adjunct to the implied result of Scientology
auditing technology's release state.
This is also the source of the sag effect. This is a case
of a participant feeling great after auditing, yet having
a sagging emotion tone some few days later - as his body's
endorphin levels go down past normal in a hang over
effect, in which, like a heroin addict, he wants another
dose, only it is of auditing.
John Travolta merely substituted the Scientology [TM]
belief system, together with its subliminal, hidden,
electrically induced endorphin 'rush', for cocaine. He
thinks he is 'better', because the electrical addiction is
hidden from him, he was just given a substitute.
There is another theory titillating me lately; that actual
nerve synapses, the repeaters on a nerve trunk lines, when
artificially stimulated, [irritated ] for thousands of
hours by the DC current of the E-meter - might look, and
READ on the E-meter just like BODY THETANS... you see
Hubbard said, that if someone doesn't "Have any body
Thetans" when they get to OT III, "send them back to do
more auditing at the lower levels" { to hold the cans for
a good long time} until the BTs "appear" no doubt..
Perhaps it's just the E-meter current induced damage that
becomes the Body Thetans. Hubbard used to hold the cans
for hours upon hours doing 'research'.. I also heard tales
of his ranting and raving like a madman about his "damn
body thetans". I bet by this time that may have had
thousands of irritated nerve synapses. I discussed this
with Michael Pattinson, Full OT8, and he said he thought
he had tons of BTs until he put the CANS down, and they
gradually went away.
Dennis Erlich told me that he could feel the electricity
when he held the E-Meter electrodes. He said that he
thought it was a factor when he first left Scientology.
The research I've been doing supports this rather tenuous
conjecture, in many surprising ways.
So that's my summation of what the real secret is of this
scam.
How long would I have to send a subliminal electric charge
through your body, while telling you things that you
wanted to hear, until you thought that I was truly 'the
one who had all the answers'?
This is the CORE secret.
Near the center of Scientology's onion of deception
Note: In 1997, faced with falling income and statistics
around the world due to increased exposure of their true
nature in the media and on the Internet, Scientology
ordered an upgrade to all of it's E-meters that raised the
shunt current going through the participants body,
promoted as a way to make the E- Meter more resistant to
induced 'body motion' and make it more sensitive, in a
desperate effort to hold onto its dwindling number of
adherents. This was called the "Quantum" upgrade. (Note 7)
Protecting yourself
The coercive tactics described herein are used by any
organization that is built upon deceit. To avoid this
trap, wherever you find it, here are a few recommendations:
A) Never trust anyone who tells you there is anyone you
must not talk to, specially if they were once friends or
family.
B) Never trust anyone who feels they have the answers to
the universe. One day there was a man who had been
suffering effects from association with the
Scientologists. He was a religious man, a minister, so I
played the snippet of one of L Ron Hubbard's lectures in
which Hubbard's voice say's "There was no Christ". After
playing this perhaps five times, the reverend looked at
me, blinking, and said, "Brother, I have seen the light".
I was told by Reverend Bellamy that I should become a
Minister. I asked the good Reverend why? He asked me, "You
tell the truth?" I said, "yes". "You hold the truth to be
sacred?", I said "yes". And the good Reverend then said,
"Because Truth is God's word, you should become a
Minister, that's what you do" . I have no quick comeback
for this to this day. But it does mediate my view of what
truth is, and where you shall find it.
The Scientology entrance to the Hubbardian belief systems
territory uses a pattern of unattributed excerpts of past
great philosophers, making an appeal to reason and common
sense, while systematically destroying the repute of all
prior friends and sources of information except the wisdom
of the ages as plagiarized and fictionalized by Hubbard.
This pattern is not exclusive to Scientology.
These tidbits of prior art are woven together into a
compelling matrix that makes the inquirer think that what
comes next is AS TRUE AS THE STOLEN PRIOR ART. And what
comes next?
The lies.
Other systems of mind control use similar tactics, all
disconnect you from your family, all make less of your
friends and anyone you ever considered an authority or
source of knowledge.
While titillating you with pieces of wisdom, you will be
given one source, a guru, the leader, the con man, who
will then take your heart's joy at being shown these
pieces of wisdom and then use your heartfelt joy to make
you do his bidding - as this has now become 'the way'.
When it becomes your way, you are in a cult.
This purported unique 'way' is in fact a program that
demands your obedience or you are dismissed from the
group. That demands that you separate yourself from all
others who might disagree. That demonizes those who hold
opinions that are not part of the program.
This is mental slavery.
This is one person or group following a formula designed
to control you and impose their will upon you.
This is why there is a first amendment that no voice
should be silenced by the state.
The founding fathers never conceived that voices could be
silenced by gag agreements in abusive civil litigation
conducted outside of the spirit of the law.
They never conceived that corporate entities would be
granted those same constitutional protections intended to
protect a citizen, meant to protect the individual from
tyrannical, despotic, governments.
Physical slavery was abolished in America.
It has been replaced by mental slavery as the means to
accomplish building empires of lies charading as wisdom,
and in America we find them cloaked in religiosity using
what appears to be the crossed out cross of Satan.
The Carnival Show:
If you say Satan with a lisp it comes out Thetan
Could Hubbard have been this devious?
Scientology is like a 19th century seedy carnival side
show, whenever someone in the audience would yell out how
the trick was done, he would be dragged outside by a
couple of toughs stationed there for this purpose, and
beaten up. Scientology's demeanor is identical to this,
only in the 'civil' 20th century they use lawyers. And the
entire sordid affair is cloaked in bogus religiosity. P T
Barnum, the father of the circus, would be proud. That
John Travolta and Tom Cruise are entranced by this
particular sideshow, should be interpreted as evidence of
the mastery of bald-faced lying, sleight of hand,
misdirection of attention, and linguistic trickery used by
Hubbard that Scientology then keeps the tent flaps tied
shut, so that the deluded cannot or will not look outside,
is just confirmation that it indeed is merely a plot to
deceive.
Secrets for Influence or Profit
I was asked, "How does Scientology maintain its hold on
John Travolta and Tom Cruise?" And feel this deserves
attention. There are 1100 pages of sworn under penalty of
perjury testimony on my website from the 1982 Clearwater
Commission Hearings. Video of these is also available on
another website, http://www.xenutv.com. Many ex-members
testified, including an old friend, Scott Mayer. He
testified that he took confidential information of a very
personal nature which had been taken from a lady's
"confessional formulary files" with him to visit her. And
he let her know in no uncertain terms that she would
cooperate or it would be made public.
The hearings went on for 4 days. Each person was asked
whether they would have chosen to get involved with
Scientology at all, if they had known that the information
that they divulged during the 'auditing experience' could
and would be used against them if they every turned
against Scientology.
All said NO not one of them would have gotten involved.
Every little thing you ever did, or you knew about that
someone else did gets written down. This would include the
Scientologist that was a roommate with William Jefferson
Clinton in college. Now I know for sure, based on the
pattern of this evil, Scientology knows far more about Mr.
Clinton that just whether or not he inhaled. They know
everything his college roommate knew.
What does your old college roommate know about you?
This is probably Scientology's 2nd most powerful secret,
and it too is completely reliant on the use of the
E-Meter. I have built these devices and a trained
scientologist can make them work as a formidable
lie-detector. Think about the implication this has.
Source for the E-Meter
In 1940's and 50's it was still possible to find "electric
shock machines" configured like the drug store scales -
"Your weight for a Penny". These devices existed when
Hubbard was a kid, consisting of an insulating phenolic
platform, with two round brass balls like the globes on
the top of a staircase banister... 5 inches in diameter
mounted at the top on the right and left of the pedestal
that the subject would place his/her hands on. Electric
shocks were considered therapeutic, and were the subject
of numerous, pseudo-medical device patents in the early
years of the development of electricity. There is doubt in
my mind that the perception of "relief" was accomplished
by the induced release of endorphins [the human body's own
pain killers, which bind at same sites in the brain as
opium, heroin and morphine] from the induced cellular
damage. I bet the "Old Man" [as L Ron Hubbard is referred
to by members,] when he was a child, came across these
devices. I bet he stood on one, placed a penny in the
slot, and held onto the round electrodes... and noted that
he felt better.
Gordon Bell recalls those shock machines "being all over
carnivals" and Alan Walters recalls seeing them when he
was a kid "in railway stations and fun parks". I bet he
(Hubbard) remembered this when he met Volney Matheson, the
inventor of the E- Meter; and I bet he hoped you would
never read these conjectures today.
In Hubbard's own writings he suggests that the part of the
organization responsible for attracting new folks into the
magic show, "go carny", to create the largest influx of
marks. ['mark' is slang for a person targeted for a
deceptive scheme, used by carnival 'barkers' 'barkers'
refers to the men that would stand outside a side show,
shouting admonishments to get an unsuspecting 'mark' to
pay his dime and go inside and see the show.]
Earle Cooley claimed in front of Judge Brinkema that all
Scientology cares about are its copyrights, and the
secrecy of the upper levels.
That was a lie.
Just like his statement in front of Judge Brinkema that
his religion prevented even he from reading the OT Levels
in The Fishman Document Then some time later he told a
reporter in Boston that he was not a Scientologist.
Just another misdirection of attention in the global magic
show.
You see I was on staff in Washington DC, at Scientology's
organization when it was on 19th Street, back in the 60's.
When I got involved in back then, was stressed over, and
over, and over, again as being an "Applied Philosophy".
I did not suspect anything else was going on, really,
until one day, I was ferreting though old Hubbard tapes
and materials in the little room next to his old office
across the street, and up the block a bit. There I found a
dumbwaiter which I noticed was between the 1st and 2nd
floors. I pulled it down. And what did I find?
It was filled one half full to the top with Hubbard's Mark
IV model E-Meters!
When I asked why there were so many of these devices in a
dumb waiter, I was told that during the raid conducted by
the FBI that initiated the E-Meter, Article or Device case
that resulted in the Gissel decision, they were hidden
there, and the agents doing the search never pulled the
rope. I did not 'connect the dot's' until just recently.
Even when suddenly, in 1967 or 1968, there were orders
coming down from Hubbard and "PreClear folder
administration files" became "Confessional Formulary", and
a cross was dragged through the door.
Staff members considered it a joke then, as we watched the
Ministers Collars appear, I now consider it a complete
fraud now.
When I consider all the litigation about the story of Xenu
and the body thetans, I am reminded of the story of Briar
Rabbit, who called out, "Do anything to me, but don't
throw me into the briar patch". Scientology's feigned
'Briar patch" is the story of Xenu and the body Thetans.
For Scientology, complex copyright law, is just an
opportunity to create an expensive litigation tar pit for
their target, especially when abused with the express
intent, of enforcing silence.
You see Hubbard, (in a manner similar to the Romulan
Cloaking Device in Star Trek) created in 1954, and then
invoked into the mainstream indoctrination centers, what I
call, "Scientology's Religious Cloaking Mechanism", which
became the outer layer of the Scientology onion of
deception for one reason and one reason only.
To protect the E-meter from our own United States
Government's investigation.
A method for inducing a Scientologist to 'snap' out of it
I had been an active Scientologist for a decade, having
been in the 'elite', and fascist, "sea organization",
joining them for the voyage of the Bolivar out of San
Francisco Harbor (immortalized by the 1970 hit song,
"Ride, Captain, Ride upon your mystery ship...73 sailors
set sail, out of San Francisco bay, here's some of the
things that they had to say.."). I took my first adventure
in the 'elite" Sea Organization, management arm of the
Hubbardian belief systems with my old friend Scott Mayer,
with Captain Bob Young at the helm. I ended up as
Financial manager for what is now Bridge Publications,
built E-meters, and sometime later got a marriage license
and blood tests to marry the boss's daughter.
I have been on the receiving end of one million, seven
hundred thousand dollars of Scientology's most brutal
litigation* (note 5). Now, after many pickets, hundreds of
hours in many conversations with 'true believers', and
after successfully exiting some of those, after 30 hours
of radio talk shows, and 5 years actively fighting to
expose Scientology on the Internet, and in the media - the
following are some techniques I have found successful in
breaking the coercive persuasion trance.
If one understands how the mechanics of Hubbard's prison
for the mind is constructed, it should be possible to turn
this knowledge to our advantage and use their own
programming to extract them! After all, they are the ones
living a lie.
Hubbard explains two important factors, whether they are
true or not in the real world is of absolutely no
significance, as they are a fact, by definition, in the
Hubbardian belief territories.
Hubbard defines an incident of 'pain' as a combination of
"heat, cold and electrical" all occurring at he same time.
Hubbard also states that if you date and locate the
beginning of an incident it helps make it able to be
reduced. Hubbard goes on to state that when one determines
the duration of an incident the perception of the
incident, the awareness of what occurred in it, will
return.
Well now, as our targets are living in a world thus
defined, lets use. First, determine exactly how long the
person has been an inhabitant in the Hubbardian Belief
Systems Territory. Then when you have finished explaining
how the Hubbardian E- meter supplies a subliminal
electrical current to their bodies, ask them to tell you
how many hours they have held the E-Meter cans. (They call
the electrodes 'cans' as they are typically tin plated
soup cans). This establishes the duration of Auditing
experience, and in their world might turn on the
perceptions of it, as an incident.
I would then get the adherent to discuss how he go into
Scientology. Trying at all times to locate the instant
that he made the decision that "THIS IS IT". What you are
doing is using their own definitions of the mind construct
that they have agreed is "true for them", to get them to
'run out' the incident of their involvement in this
charade.
I would do this prior to engaging in the patter below.
I find it useful to view the target as if he were someone
who was running a computer program, not unlike Windows 98,
but instead of reality, this operating system evokes
complete control over him, by explicit and implicit
command structures. Evidence of this is contained in what
is effectively an internal innovation in Scientology:
"DUPLICATE SOURCE" - that means run the program exactly as
written. This makes a computer out of one's mind. This
program defines "The boundaries of the realm known as
Scientology, and ALL THAT OCCURS WITHIN IT, while defining
in terms that 'make less of them' all sources of critical
information outside of the Scientology program.
I have held signs that state simply: WHAT PROGRAM ARE YOU
RUNNING? I sometimes ask WHOSE PROGRAM ARE YOU RUNNING? I
don't know if they work. I do know the Scientologists were
told not to look at the signs, including mine. Before you
attack the subroutines of a person's belief system, you
must first make that person aware that he is in a belief
system, or as I like to say, "Running a Program'. Their
condition could also be described as running a script, as
a participant in an elaborate theatrical. All these
analogies are viable.
Before one can attack a complete operating system for
defining a reality, you must realize that it is an
operating system that includes definitions of you and your
efforts as being "all lies, paid for by the evil
psychiatrists" or just "nutballs" or "suppressive person"
- all forms designed to "make less of it", "it" being your
efforts to expose the truth, instead of Hubbard's
fictional view of reality as rendered by his PROGRAM
running in the target's mind.
You see if the minds of Scientologists have been expertly
programmed, or, as some say, infected with the mind virus
called Scientology, it is very difficult to make them let
go, as they know their program is right because "auditing
works" for them, at least that is an apparency for them.
So I do this.
I explain how the "Bridge to Total Freedom" [TM] by
'Religious Technology Center', claims to go to a state
called OT, or Operating Thetan. I point out how the old
gradation charts used to state that at OT level VIII one
was "total cause over Matter Energy Space and Time", I
then point out to the fellow how *IF* there was just ONE
OT... if there was just one person who had a shadow of the
super abilities that Scientology makes its adherents
dutifully toe the line for, in promise of its realization,
then "I WOULD NOT BE HERE".
I chant this at them:
"No OTs in Scientology, if there were just ONE OT, you
would not be listening to my voice right now"
They do not like this, as it reminds them that they are
all there waiting to achieve a promise, which, like the
story about "The Emperor's New Clothes", does not exist,
except as part of the stage magic show called Scientology.
I explain to the person some of what I have described
herein previously, with emphasis on how Dianetics tricks
you into mocking up something called the "reactive mind",
and how the "E-meter may help to induce a euphoric
response to the expectations of the "Auditing Experience"
and that "There are NO OTs in Scientology".
And of course the target is rejecting all of this all
along. But that's ok, just depending on time, repeat these
concepts gently as long as time permits.
You are baiting a hook, to pull him out of the illusion.
After a while, when you intend to end off the
conversation, tell the fellow this:
"OK, so you don't feel you are the target of deceptions by
Scientology or Hubbard, or in any sort of trance, stage
play or illusion, or running any kind of mental program.
right? {emphasis on 'right?')
He agrees.
"So how about this, lets make a little friendly wager, ok?"
He agrees.
"Here's the deal" [ then I state with emphasis, command
style, with 'intention', very directly ].
"The next time you hear the words, 'Pick up the cans
please, this is the session' you will remember everything
we discussed in this conversation today".
Now the fellow has just denied all of your allegations,
and agreed to this wager... and you have commanded him,
(he is after all running a program) to recall this
conversation at a very specific time, a time in which
Scientologists are at a heightened level of expectation -
as those words: "Pick up the cans, this is the session"
commence every auditing action with an E-meter!
And what will he have to deal with at the beginning of his
next auditing?
What fun! Turning the stage play against itself!
He will have to tell his auditor ALL ABOUT THIS. And it
gets repeated again!
And hopefully he notices.. Gee, that guy was right, I *AM*
running a program.
This is one technique I think might crack the mind armor
that Scientologists wear under the guise of "Thinking for
yourself".
I don't know if it works, but the last two public
Scientologists that were assigned to keep me busy during a
picket have yet to be seen again!
And at the last picket, I was studiously ignored...
On L Ron Hubbard
Two different people have contacted me, both saying that
they had seen his private notebooks, with the invocation
written in the margin saying "That all men shall be my
slaves and all women shall grovel at my feet".
Hubbard goes on to convince you that only in Scientology
are the answers to the secrets of the universe. Only in
Scientology is the key to escape what Hubbard himself
describes as a Prison Planet. What better way to make you
a slave, than to play the part of the grand director, and
trick you, yes, FAIR GAME YOU, into building Hubbard's
prison for your mind, for Hubbard, for the good of
Mankind! For the good of "the agonizing future of every
man woman and child on this planet" { from Scientology's
Policy, "Keeping Scientology Working" which should more
accurately be titled, "The show must go on"} What better
way than but to convince you with lies and artifice that
only Hubbard's pseudo-technology has the key to something
they peddle called "Total Freedom"[TM] Religious
Technology Center.
No wonder you can't find the key. It is not there!
No wonder your Scientology experience was so much about
money, and the dreaded "reg cycles" used to extract it
from you, where you would be mentally beaten with the same
steel bar of your cage that you had been tricked into
creating.
Scientology is about slavery.
Only in Scientology, the inmates are conned into building
and managing their own prison.
The Real Wall of Fire
I doubt even that Hubbard's purportedly death-defying
'discovery' of the secret OT Level III, "The Wall of Fire"
was even an original idea, much less discovered as part of
any research of any kind. You will find in the 1882
edition of OAHSPE "A Sacred History of the Dominions of
the Higher and Lower Heavens on Earth" there is a
reference to "druijas" the term used for spirit entities,
being gathered up from all over the galaxy, packaged in
'vessels' and transported in 'winged space ships' to earth
by the billions. The is called in this book, "The Wall of
Fire". The identical name, for an almost identical story
line, that Hubbard sells you as Operating Thetan Section
Three. It is also amusing to note that Dianetics, Hubbard
refers to "automatic writing", and it just so happens that
this same book OAHSPE, is claimed to have been written by
"automatic writing".
The challenge for those of us who had once been hooked,
line and sinker by Hubbard's elaborate fabrications and
plagiarisms, is to work to bring this to closure and do
whatever we must to bring the scales of personal justice
back into balance.
The rule seems to be to do whatever one is best at, to use
whatever gifts one has, to best advantage. We each have
unique gifts to bring to this table. All of them are
valuable to the degree they help educate the public, to a
point, that there is no one left to deceive.
The citizens effort to expose Scientology is viable. It
won't stop. The one big gift from Scientology to
ex-members is the gaining of an acute awareness and
revulsion to any group, organization, person or thing that
seeks to deceive, manipulate and enslave the minds of men
- for profit, monetary or otherwise.
It is up to us, the ex-members of Scientology to determine
if this one lesson unto itself has been learned well
enough. We certainly had the master of deception as
teacher.
We will see if this acute awareness of the techniques of
deception - and the price paid by so many - provide
sufficient insight and motivation - to undo this as well
as other patterns of mental manipulation and control which
fester in society like slow growing cancers, by feeding
upon the goodwill of the trusting and naive.
What those of us who have gained this knowledge, do with
that knowledge, will determine if all the years of
deception, the broken lives, the lonely parents, the
buried bodies, are in fact in the end, worth something.
This is the responsibility of those who have breached the
real wall of fire, DECEPTION.
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility
against every form of tyranny imposed upon the mind of
man" Inscription inside the dome of the Jefferson
Memorial, in Washington DC, by Thomas Jefferson
Let us join in devotion to this Founder of America's cause
and do something about the Scientology problem NOW, while
we still can!
"Slave chains forged of lies
are stronger than the finest steel.
And those so enslaved, seeing
neither chain, shackle or lock,
can't free themselves,
if only shown a key.
Our mission, then, must be
in order to set them free,
to gently guide their minds,
to where lies hid their key"
Thank you

Note 6: "Scientologists believe that most human problems
can be traced to lingering spirits of an extraterrestrial
people massacred by their ruler, Xenu, over 75 million
years ago. These spirits attach themselves by "clusters"
to individuals in the contemporary world, causing
spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives of
their hosts." Excerpt from United States District Judge
Leonie Brinkema 4 Oct 96 Memorandum Opinion, RTC vs Lerma
Civil Action No. 95-1107-A This final Memorandum opinion
is the one that Scientology tried to get sealed so you
could never know that the story of XENU was indeed real.
