DECLARE AND EXPULSION BILL FRANKS, ALAN WALTER, BOB THOMAS
Infamous over the years for their conflicts with various Churches, Church Management, and the field, BILL FRANKS, ALAN WALTER and BOB THOMAS have been found by recent investigation to have manipulated the various echelons of the Church against one another. They are DECLARED SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS.
By closely examining what Church Management (the Sea Organization), Org and Mission staff, and the many active field Scientologists stand for, one can see the severity of their actions.
There are many very hard working Church staff and executives, at all levels across the globe. Understanding the far reaching significance behind their own daily actions, they take their jobs very seriously.
The field Scientologist, active with expansion plans designed to share their priceless wins with others, works very hard creating inroads to the public.
All told, they form a most purposeful team making unprecedented progress towards the goals L. Ron Hubbard set so clearly for all Scientologists who discover that they have the ability to reach spiritual awareness levels hitherto only dreamed for longingly.
They are all striving successfully for expansion.
Those who are contributing know that their work, no matter the level or position, exceeds any previous endeavor. This fact alone precludes comparison to any earlier group or government's concept of individual status, self-importance, and poor mutual respect fur each other. In this group each knows his work is respected, that he is helping oothers, and that his or her efforts are highly valued by all.
Compare our own Sea Organization Church Management to any other - be it Church, government, business, military, what have you. One would grow the longest of grey hairs finding one which exhibited half the true care, desire to help, sincere appreciation for a job well done, and exterior viewpoint to confront impossible odds.
Not since 1956 has an Org been lost or closed down. It gives one a secure sense of achievement and stability of position to know that there has not been one situation which proved impossible to handle.
Over the years, there have been many which would have caused the demise of lesser groups. While others may hold on by a string inventing new ways to avoid directly tackling situations in their path, Church leadership has striven to handle terminatedly - and then even improve upon their handlings.
However, it is a classic tactic of a suppressive concerned solely for his own power and ability to control others to stir up revolt, mutiny, claim that you are not valued or respected by the "bureaucratic government", cry oppression, prove injustice and lack of respect for individual rights, claim no action taken "by management" to rectify your grievances, and criticize and harp loudly about the shortcoming of those who often find themselves working long into the night to do their very best regardless of odds.
A brief scan through the history books shows time and time again where the playing upon the sincere feelings and concerns of a people enabled a suppressive to set himself up as a king pin and eventual leader. Not amusingly, only months afterwards, this same benevolent representative of the people's hardships is found enforcing for real the very same oppressive leadership he wailed so galllantly about just weeks prior. It's a very famous insurgency tactic.
Some basic datums apply per our religious tenets (ref: HCOB 15 Sep 81 THE CRIMINALY MIND):
"THE CRIMINAL ACCUSES OTHERS OF THINGS WHICH HE HIMSELF IS DOING."
"THE CRIMINAL ONLY SEES OTHERS AS HE HIMSELF IS."
"INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL MINDS TEND TO BAND TOGETHER SINCE THE PRESENCE OF OTHER CRIMINALS ABOUT THEM TENDS TO PROVE THEIR OWN DISTORTED IDEAS OF MAN IN GENERAL."
They can influence one so heavily that to even receive an order from a senior immediately spurs thoughts of distrust, questioning management's "true" intentions, a feeling of worthlessness, crilicism, and thoughts that one is not allowed to be at cause over his own job, creation, or plans.
Subversion has a very hard time finding a place to hold in our organization.
Management, staff, and field Scientologists are successfully creating Church expansion.
Note however, one has often heard of large and very laudable expansion plans from these three terminals. Their plans are almost always to be done quite outside the existing organizational structure at great expense. They of course fail at which point Management is quickly accused of no back up, no financing, not understanding the field, and not granting credence to their hard work and good intentions. They never really intended to succeed however!
Should some success be realized it almost invariably traces back to others' hard work and good intentions.
Such has been the case with Bill Franks, Alan Walter and Bob Thomas.
It has been the usual to find them openly committing overts and withholds in a general sense (financial irregularities, sexual misconduct and promoting enturbulation) while avoiding being tackled for such by promoting some of the must honest and sincere sounding expansion plans utilizing incredible resources that "only they can tap". One is therefore made to feel that to approach them on their "trivial outnesses" might be cause to prevent them from actually carrying forth with their contribution to the group. A clever way to avoid the standard ethics and justice of which they complain and a subtle form of blackmail at best.
Their "trivial outnesses" however have predictably been the major route by which they pursued their actual intentions. Field meetings promoted and held which were nothing more than forums to aggravate and promote seeds of mutiny and revolt planted much earlier (if not years ago). Briefing students at the end of courses and training to ensure they were applying LRH Policy and Tech "their way". Video tapes made and played under the guise of "how I successfully applied policy for expansion" really being nothing more than another channel to get across subtle innuendoes of disaffection and off Sourceness or to further establish oneself as having gained some authority and notoriety. Expressed concern about the Church's money when track records show efforts to misdirect Church assets and money.
Whereas Church Management successfully directs the Church for everyone's benefit, these three persons (and very possibly others) categorically are found mixing their urges for status, control, self-notoriety and money motivation with cleverly expressed plans and intentions leading one to believe their purposes lie with helping others. So tainted, their plans and, actions always seem to have a way of not quite making it and persons around them can be found enturbulated and often the victims of injustice.
In the case of Franks, Walter and Thomas for years they have had conflicts, disagreements and resentment towards either an individual or entire sections of the Church and Management.
The Church and Church Management are constantly working towards improved conditions and bettering their ability to serve and guide.
Steadily improving production statistics around the world clearly points up this fact. By constantly upgrading their application of LRH Policy and maintaining ever improving conmunication lines to all areas expansion has been realized.
However, Franks, Walter and Thomas would have you believe that changes and improvements prove their accusations of horrendous outnesses within the Church. They would like you to feel that if they ran things, the world would be better off and such "outnesses" would never have existed. Hardly the case.
Though Alan Walter and Bill Franks have been declared Suppressive by broad issue earlier, the above data is now included to better understand why the Sea Organization (Management) took the strong actions it did.
Bob Thomas was a senior Guardian's Office executive for years. During his tenure handling Church legal matters he "failed" to make a simple timely filing on a very minor court case - the result of which imposed strenuous government impositions upon the Church. He attempted to structure the Church corporately in such a way as to allow both he and select others to maintain absolute control over Church assets and finances. He also was efforting to split off the unit in which he worked from any senior's control. He was found to be handling critical aspects of Church operations based on his on [sic] "bright ideas" and without proper briefing to attorneys and obtaining solutions and advice based on their professional training. Though given the opportunity to apply Scientology technology and confront his out-ethics at the time, he has been found participating and contributing to efforts to degrade Management and its activities. Interestingly he attended a recent field meeting making it known that he was only there regarding Church finances.
"THE CRIMINAL IS NOT MUCH BENEFITED BY THE GIVING OFF OF CURRENT WITHHOLDS AND IS NOT LIKELY TO REFORM BECAUSE OF THIS."
(HCOB 15 Sep 81)
Franks, Walter and Thomas have committed Suppressive Acts.
"Suppressive Acts are clearly those covert or overt acts knowingly calculated to reduce or destroy a Scientology Church or prevent individual betterment of a Scientologist." (HCO PL 16 May 80 II ETHICS, SUPPRESSIVE ACTS, SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS )
The following Crimes and High Crimes apply:
CRIMES:
1. PLACING SCIENTOLOGY OR SCIENTOLOGISTS AT RISK.
2. OMISSIONS 0R NON-COMPLIANCE REQUIRING HEAVY INTERVENTION, BY SENIORS CONSUMING TIME AND MONEY, WITH DEV-T.
3. GETTING ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER DISCIPLINED BY GIVING FALSE REPORTS ABOUT HIM OR HER.
4. SEEKING TO SHIFT THE BLAME TO AN INNOCENT STAFF MEMBER FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ONE'S OWN OFFENSES.
5. COMMITTING OFFENSES OR OMISSIONS THAT BRING ONE'S SENIOR STAFF MEMBER, UNIT, DEPARTMENT, ORG OR ZONE OFFICIAL TO PERSONAL RISK AND/OR A COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE, CIVIL, CRIMINAL OR COURT.
6. CONDONING CIRCUMSTANCES OR OFFENSES CAPABLE OF BRINGING A COURSE, SECTION, UNIT, DEPARTMENT, ZONE, ORG OR DIVISION TO A STATE OF COLLAPSE.
7. FOLLOWING ILLEGAL ORDERS OR ILLEGAL LOCAL POLICIES OR ALTER-IS KNOWING THEM TO HE DIFFERENT OR CONTRADICTORY TO THOSE ISSUED BY THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD.

13. PUBLIC STATEMENTS AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY OR SCIENTOLOGISTS BUT NOT TO COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE DULY CONVENED.
14. KNOWINGLY GIVING FALSE TESTIMONY TO IMPERIL A SCIENTOLOGIST.
Bill Franks, Alan Walter and Bob Thomas are therefore DECLARED and EXPELLED from the Church of Scientology. They are debarred from entering any Scientology group or organization. They may never again receive services. They are advised to consult HCO PL 16 May 1980 II ETHICS SUPPRESSIVE ACTS SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS, page seven, section entitled EXPULSION.
There may be those behind these three, pushing them, and there may well be others originating on their own similar suppressive acts. They show up like sore thumbs and are easily handled within our own ecclesiastical justice system.
If you have experienced the effects of these three Suppressives, found yourself resenting individuals or echelons within the Church, cringed at the very receipt of an order or strategy, from a Senior Scientology Executive, or turned a cold heart towards Church Management equating them with groups, governments, or movements of the past, then realize the source of such are those who very much want you to feel that way.
The Churches of Scientology, Missions and all related Church activities are guided and helped by the Sea Organization.
Members of the Sea Org are those you can count on to handle any trouble, to remain at cause and exterior from effects others would double over from, and to ensure an infinite guarantee that the Religion of Scientology will always be around.
The Sea Organization's guidance, if followed and carried out per LRH Policy, has proven time and time again to assist in expansion and to improve conditions.
Since Nineteen Hundred and Sixty Seven the Sea Organization has been hard at work carrying out this duty.
They will continue to do so until the job is done.
It is your job too.
