I only speak for myself, I do not hate scientologists, I have
extreme sympathy for them for I truly believe they do not
realize what they are doing, for if they did, they would not
be doing such.
For the most part they are well-intentioned in their actions, but choose to remain happily ignorant of the intent of the Co$ behind their well-intnetioned actions.
I know this, because of my involvement with the Co$ Front Group, Applied Scholastics. My heart truly was for the children, but my brain was disengaged, temporarily, from seeing the lies and abuses as I was totally geared in to what my own desires were.
When I began letting what I was seeing sink in, I then took time to excuse it thinking that I could change it becuase, after all, my desires for the children were right and were good.
After a while, you realize . . .
it is HubTOADian policy and tech all the way through, and the the school and the children are secondary to the true purpose being to instill HubTOADian policy, technology and ethics in on the people.
But the majority of those that stay in and stay with the Co$ have simply allowed that to become their one sole purpose . . .
the instillation of HubTOADian thought processes, tech, policy and ethics in on the entire planet, with all the claimed intentions of helping others . . .
because they have gotten to the point where they believe that all the problems of this planet will be "handled"
once $cientology is "in" on every human being . . .
so that without realizing it they, intending to do what they originally set out to do, helping others, end up just becoming a cog in the machine of running over the planet with HubTOADian intention of all becoming under the power of the Co$.

Just keep reading.
Realize that followers of Ill Ron that post here are simply following HubTOADian policy that is ~SENIOR~ to all of the glitzy little theetie-wheetie PR quotes used to make LRH/Co$ seem harmlessly good.
When a HubTOADlet spews some do-goodie PR pablum, just remember that in Co$ . . .
~TRUE~ intention is contradictory to PR pablum . . .
using the policy of what is ~SENIOR~.
In Co$ . . .
what is ~SENIOR~ is what you see here on ars . . .
to attack and destroy . . .
all in order to ~HIDE~ the ~TRUTH~ about the ~LIES~ of LRH/Co$ to be exposed.

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 facily.
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 suburs 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?

Lecture of 25 June 1952:
"Overts, Motivators and Deds".
"The only way you can control people is to lie to them. You can write that down in your book in big letters. The only way you can control people is to lie to them.
When you find an individual is lying to you, you know that individual is trying to control you. One way or another this individual is trying to control you. That is the mechanism of control. The individual is lying to you because he is trying to control you - because if they give you enough misinformation they will pull you down the tone scale so that they can control you. Conversely, if you see an impulse on the part of a human being to control you, you know very well that that human being is lying to you. Not 'is going to' but 'is' lying to you".
Check these facts, you will find they are always true. That person who is trying to control you is lying to you. He's got to tell you lies in order to continue control, because the second you start telling anybody close to the truth, you start releasing him and he gets tougher and tougher to control. So, you cant control somebody without telling them a bunch of lies. You will find that very often Command has this as its greatest weakness. It will try to control instead of leading. The next thing you know, it is lying to the [illegible]. Lie, lie, lie, and it gets worse and worse, and all of a sudden the thing blows up. Well, religion has done this.
[Following sentence is underlined] Organised religion tries to control, so therefore must be lying. [end underline] After a while it figures out (even itself) that it is lying, and then it starts down tone scale further and further, and all of a sudden people get down along this spring-like bottom (heresy) and say, "Are we going into apathy and die, or are we going to revolt?"
and they revolt, because you can only lie to people so long.
Unfortunately there is always a new cycle of lying.

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 7 DECEMBER 1969
Investigation
When things go wrong and we don't know why already by
intelligence, we resort to investigation.
When we need somebody haunted we investigate.
[...] When we investigate we do so noisily always. And usually mere investigation damps out the trouble even when we discover no really pertinent facts.
Remember that - by investigation alone we can curb Pushes and crush wildcat people and unethical "Dianetics and Scientology" organizations.
It's almost funny. We sometimes learn nothing useful and yet because people heard we were investigating their consciences sent them into headlong flight or sudden collapse. There's power in the question alone!
[...] Remember, intelligence we get with a whisper. Investigation we do with a yell. Always. Modern cops don't really know this.
They investigate with whispers. Doesn't pay. Why sneak up when pouncing is the only thing that serves us? After all, if it hasn't been whispered to us already and we have to investigate why keep whispering?
[...] Did you ever realize that any local viciousness against Scientology organizations is started by somebody for a purpose?
Well, it is. Look at what we do. Look how dedicated staff is.
How hard they work. And yet somebody feels we're evil? No, rumors aren't natural".
When you run them down you find a Commie or a millionaire who wants us dead and his own clinic up or a group member who is also a member of the R.C.
You don't rest when bad rumors are about. You investigate, you run them down. You find amongst ail our decent people some low worm who has been promised high position and pay if we fail. Don't discount this. In one instance $500, 000 was paid in cash to a man to wreck Dianetics. He almost made it. Wichita Kansas, Spring 1952. (But by intelligence and investigation we cost him his shirt and his spare vest as well. ) [...] Public opinion isn't newspapers or magazines or letters. It is attendance, balance sheets, book sales.
[...] When you have found your culprit, go to the next step, Judgement and Punishment.
INVESTIGATION BY OUTSIDE SOURCES Overt investigation of someone or something attacking us by an outside detective agency should be done more often and hang the expense. It's _very_ effective. Often investigation by a private detective has alone closed up an entheta source or a squirrel organisation. In fact at this writing I can't remember a time when it hasn't!
[...] Hire them and damn the cost when you need to.
PROCEDURE ON ENTHETA PRESS In the case of a bad magazine article which is signed, use the Following procedure:
1: Tell them by letter to retract at once in the next issue.
2: Hire a private detective of a national-type firm to investigate the _writer_, not the magazine, and get any criminal or Communist back-ground the man has. (Because all subversive activities foolishly use criminals they "have something on" and men who have been paid to attack attack us, you'll have data incoming from the detective agency if they do their work well.
3: Have your lawyers or solicitors write the magazine threatening suit. (Hardly ever permit a real suit -they're more of a nuisance to you than they're worth.)
4: Use the data you got from the detective at long last to write the author of the article a very tantalizing letter. Don't give him your data on him. Just tell him we know something very interesting about him and wouldn't he like to come in and talk about it. (If he comes, ask him to sign a confession of collusion and slander - people at that level often will, just to commit suicide - and publish it in a paid ad in the paper if you get it.) Chances are he won't arrive.
But he'll sure shudder into silence.
5: Give any new data you have from the detective to your attorneys for their use against the magazine.
[...] WHEN BEING INVESTIGATED lf you are being investigated or if the Central Organization is - sit tight, don't co-operate.
Be legal according to the laws of the land in the first place.
After that kick investigators or reporters downstairs.
Press interviews usually end up as entheta or they are cover-ups for an investigation Never co-operate. Be indifferent.
Don't let the central organization co-operate with "press" ever That's a lesson hard to learn. Press people are so persuasive They are going to "help" so much. Look at a newspaper. ls it helping anybody?
Press and other queries are counter-investigation.
Never spook if investigated. And don't co-operate. Sit tight.
Be siIent. Make the investigator talk. Gradually put him into session if you can.
Put him in birth or get him three feet back of his head. But don't co-operate or volunteer data. lt's not that you've anything to hide. It's just that investigators can't duplicate. They pervert things they "hear'' Your whole answer to anyone is "This is an institution that has a definite high standing throughout the world, Why don't you see our attorneys?"
This kills press and cops alike.
l've seen an outside investigation of a guiltless organization put the whole place in a flap and cost it two days' work or more. I've seen an organization fall apart by suspending operation for ten days while it permitted itself to he investigated.
So don't co-operate. If you don't scare or cringe, the menace fades away.

I'd just like to say my little piece. And that is, Bob Minton
is perfectly entitled to use deadly force against people who
trespass on his property. I would APPLAUD him if he were to shoot
any Scieno to kill who was trespassing on his property stone dead
through the heart.
And if he killed a few -- so much the better. There would be a fewer vicious bastards in the world.
The reason, you might suppose?
Quite simple.
The Co$ agents placed a dead cat on the doorstep of Minton.
The threat is quite clear. Mess around with us and that will happen to you as well. It was a clear threat againts his life.
Therefore, if any Co$ people come onto his property he should assume that they are there for the purpose of killing him.
He should shoot to kill anybody he suspects of being a Scientologist on his property.
Shoot first.
Ask questions later.

There's no reason to hurt someone who is taunting you that I can see.

i'd agree with this. and i'd hope that the people talking about
destruction or its variant "utter destruction" would take it seriously
if someone did succed in opening an actual dialogue. if they don't
then it perhaps vindicates your viewpoint, but if you're incorrect i
hope you'd be willing to face that.
any strategic manual will say that you must always engage in negotiation.
"with regard to a defeated enemy with surrounded organized troops, leave a gap; with orderly retreating troops, do not block them; with desperate foes, do not exceedingly push them --these are fundamentals in using forces." -- sun-tzu now that they are obviously acting desperately as these insane tactics at pickets, apparently ordered centrally, demonstrate, this is actually when they are the weakest.
i really fail to see how negotiation can hurt and just frothing fanatically about how they are utterly evil and must be destroyed like cato the elder on a speed frenzy hardly answers the obvious advantages of a moderate policy.
for example, if they fail to respond to a good faith negotiation with good faith of their own, even for a probably-doomed negotiation, that itself can be exploited.
and even if a first negotiation fails utterly as it probably will, it lays the groundwork for future attempts.
with a policy of "destroy them utterly," (which by the way rings eerily of the scientologists' own rhetoric), there is, of course, at that point no negotiation. they want to destroy you utterly, you want to destroy them utterly. that's hardly a talking point.
if the only policy is "destroy them utterly" then of COURSE they are going to fight like demons and retaliate heavily! what the hell else would you expect as a response to an approach like that? what incentive is there in such an approach to even bother with reforming, if any attempt at reform will just be used by fanatics as yet further ammunition? why should they admit to anything and try to make amends or reconcile if that will just be used to destroy them?
i believe in justice, but i also believe in forgiveness--and i also think that i'm only interested in dealing with present time abuses--if the present time abuses stopped, i'd be happy to go on my way, in the same way as i'm not going to go about picketing catholic churches for past mistakes of the last couple millenia.
i really fail to see how negotiation is so impossible. i also fail to see how it's like negotiating with NAZIs as i have always thought the NAZI comparison was one of the most absurd hyperboles to be accepted into the canon of anti-scn rhetoric. compared to NAZIs or even the AUM cult scn is fucking boy scouts. their danger is not in direct physical danger, but something of a different level. it is an evil which certainly must be faced but exaggerating it to the level of NAZIs while simultaneously underestimating them to the extent that you actually think "destroying" them is possible really gives away what i think is an overly-grandiose and illusionary understanding of the picture.
i say negotiations *should* be tried as should any other tactic that may work and achieve the goals we are here for. i also don't think achieving the goals i'm here for requires destroying anything, except perhaps the capabilities of the cult to continue committing the acts that are the cause of opposition to them. hell, if they do reform it's pure win-win--they win because they are no longer so vile as to deserve continual attack and ridicule, and we win because of the *same reason*--the abuses we wanted stopped, stop.
the politics of this situation are degenerating to the level of two camps of fanatics each yelling that the other must be "destroyed utterly." that's ridiculous and absolutely no use at all.
i say negotiations ought to be tried, or at least that the idea ought to be floated often enough that perhaps some particular person in the cult will be able to pull it off. these people are not all mindless completely untrustworthy idiots--and if they are, then how do they suddenly become utterly trustworthy and to be quoted on anything the moment they get out?
dialogue is *always* a good idea.
however i'd hope any such negotiations with the cult would only proceed if you are smart enough NOT to allow the cult to determine the terms of them--and ensure that equal numbers of critics and scns are there--if there are surprise participants, call the whole thing off.
no rectangular tables. only a circular one or one where they can't take the head of the table. don't let them determine seating.

no lawyers no signatures until good faith has been demonstrated and even then watch your back and bring your own lawyers if that's going to be part of it--the cult will *never* negotiate any agreement without someone signing on a dotted line. so be damn careful with any of that, i've seen more than one person go in to this den of vipers and come out with something absolutely horrid that they nonetheless insist they're perfectly happy with like winston smith saying he loves big brother.
i'd take it on a "gradient approach." find one small thing we actually *can* agree on. it doesn't have to be much. and it doesn't have to be unanimous, and perhaps only has to be between the few *individuals* involved in negotiations. perhaps rather than being a "peace conference" or anything with any such grandiose purpose, we ought to just chuck some scn and some critics in a conference room together at some hotel and bullshit and let them yell at each other for a while. perhaps eventually they'll tire out and get bored of that and actually talk.
see if they can agree on what they get for dinner. i'd be amazed if they could do that.

Subject: Rot in Hell You Scumbag Clams
Date: Sat, 20 Dec 1997 00:04:16 +0000
Message-ID: <349B0B80.20CE@virgin.net>
I've got a Christmas message to all Scientologists:
Rot in Hell You Scumbag Clams!!
Recently your scumbag OSA organisation decided to intimidate
a critic called Bob Minton by killing a neighbour's cat and
leaving it on his doorstep.
You fucking scumbags! And I use the term collectively. Just how many of you scumbags posted to this newsgroup saying that if something like that had happened then you did not support it? Just how many of you said that if someone within your organisation were killing pets then it was wrong?
Not one of you fucking scumbags said a thing.
You people are less than human. You all make me feel sick.
One of your evil bastards has gone out and killed a cat.
That could have been a beloved pet of a child in that neighbourhood. Just what sort of Christmas will that child have as a result of your pet murder? One of you talks about a Christmas truce. Why? So people can reflect on your organisations murdering cruelty? Maybe you have a pet murder planned especially for Christmas day, aimed at hurting children as well as pets, and you want all to be quiet on that day so that your disgusting vicious acts have more impact.
Disgusting lowlives. Just how many of you condemn the vicious and cruel acts of your organisation? None of you. You sit there and smirk and think that standard tech is being applied by OTs and you lot don't care a fuck that childrens lives are being shattered this Christmas by your murdering of pets.
You people disgust me. You murdering lowlife clams.
You make me sick by your cowardly support of your organisation that performs these cruel acts. Judged by your silence on this newsgroup you all support these actions. This makes you, socially, the most disgusting group on this planet.
You are all cowards. By your silence you support the crimes of your cult. The silence here on ars is loud.
You have the choice of comdemning these crimes but instead you are either silent or you post in support.
Disgusting lowlives. Disgusting clams. Disgusting mafia pet-murdering scumbags. You are all vile beyond description. Disgusting vile and cruel brainwashed cowardly subhuman scum. May you rot in hell you murdering scumbags.
Just what does it do to you people when you murder a child's pet? Do you scieno guys get an erection? Are you that sick? Do you praise the 100% standard tech that went into it? Do you cheer for more pet killings in order to silence critics?
You people are sub-life. You are the most disgusting people that have ever darkened existence. May you rot in Hell you disgusting low-life murdering clams.

I am not proud of him and I'd wish that he would change his style. But
he was a scientologist, so it is no wonder that he is still somewhat
mentally ill. Scientology makes people mentally ill.

I hope you will take some time over the holidays to reflect on your
inner rage and your outward expression of it, and do a little soul
searching.
I don't think your views in any way express any type of consensus in
this newsgroup, and I pray you find some peace in your heart.

I'm introducing the idea to Scientologists before they get it from their
"Church". If they hear it from me then they will reject the idea. If
they hear it from their "Church" first, which will happen when they have
finished burying the tech in a vault above a fault line, then there will
be suicides in record proportions. I say "suicides". I don't know if the
Sea Org members will actually be given that choice.
Scientology is a cult. Cults members either murder or commit suicide if we learn out lesson from history. There is no reason to view Scientology as different from previous cults.
So miKe, where is Ron now if he was so OT? Seems like he is just plain dead to me. That being the case then he was lying about OT powers all the time. He couldn't even exteriorise if you read David Mayo account of his auditing Hubbard. Hubbard even claimed he went to Venus and was nearly run over by a freight locomotive. And you read and follow the tech of this person? You post it here like a good robot following the orders of an obvious lunatic. Just what is wrong with you?

Probably because the context is a convincing argument for why
Scientology indeed must die.

I could not find the original, but I found a post which partially quotes
it. Here it is:
Subject: Re: If I saw a "Church" being attacked...

Message-ID: <199811092330.AAA05648@replay.com>

While I can sympathize with your point of view, I can't say I share it.
Scientology is not its various physical manifestations; Scientology is an idea. The destruction of a building or the death of an individual Scientologist gets rid of that "copy" of the Scientology parasite but that's a tiny fraction of the Curse as a whole. Furthermore, the person and the building are resources that can be rehabilitated; a building can be used for other purposes, and a person can learn better.
That clam being beaten up isn't just a clam; he's a future critic in the larval stage. He (or she) probably has parents or siblings who hate the Curse just as much as you do but would mourn to see their loved one killed just because he had been hijacked by a parasitic set of ideas.
The typical Scientologist isn't a bogeyman or a demon, but a victim, someone who probably started out looking, with good intentions, for a way to improve himself and the world, and stepped in a nest of snakes by mistake. It is part of his victimization that he is being made to victimize others in turn, much as some concentration-camp victims were made by the guards to torture other inmates. Instead of guns, the scientologist is held hostage by his needs -- some which he started out with, the ones that brought him into harm's way in the first place;
others which have been cult-ivated in him for the purpose of control.
He has been hooked on "auditine" (Did that term originate with Keith Henson?) and bringing in new junkies is part of earning his fix.
Furthermore, his own mind has been turned against him (he has been talked into "mocking up a reactive mind," i.e. dissociating) and he thinks that to help others is to lure them into the same trap that snared him.
I think we have established pretty conclusively in this century that you can't kill an idea by burning books, buildings, or believers. You can only kill an idea by replacing it with a better one. The Dorian materials prompted me to de-lurk because they propose replacing Scientology, not with a better idea, but with a worse one -- a second ugly fairy story even more repulsive and manipulative than the first.
Dorian also proposes to use Scientology's revolting techniques against it. This is called "opposing evil by becoming evil," or "sinking to the level of your opponent." I call it "winning the battle by surrendering." I am strongly in favor of ARSCC(wdne)'s "Gandhi tech."
I'd also like to recommend the doctrine of _ahimsa_, or "fighting with a loving heart" -- remember that the spokesbots are also victims.
Last but not least, "hating" anybody is bad PR. And there might be unattended minor children living in that org when it burns down!
The strategies and tactics that are currently effective against the Curse of Scientology all involve the sowing of better ideas. Picketing alerts both victims and the public to the painful or ridiculous truths that lie behind the pretty pictures. Publicity does the same. The lawsuits that Scientology fears most aren't the ones over damage to specific individuals, but those that threaten exposure of the Curse's sick doctrines and policies -- its "intellectual property" -- its ideas.
Scientology must be destroyed, not only quickly, but _surely_. The danger of ideas is that they can lie dormant, in books, for ages, and germinate anew when unprotected minds are exposed to them again.
(Hubbard knew this; that's why he wanted his ravings etched into titanium, or whatever, and buried as a toxic time capsule for post-nuclear mutants.) Even if you burned every org, Scientologist, and Hubbard book tomorrow, that wouldn't prevent a similar evil genius (or committee) from concocting an essentially identical monstrosity from the same source materials Hubbard plagiarized. The only way to utterly destroy Scientology is to immunize people against it _and all other similar attacks on individual autonomy_.

The presence of a great many ex-Scientologists of long standing on this
newsgroup belies that statement. If the #2 head of $cn can blow,
anybody can.

Scientology is practiced less coercively in the Free Zone but it is
still taking advantage of human gullibility. Whatever therapeutic
benefit Free Zone practices may have can be explained completely in
terms of conventional abreaction therapy, hypnotherapy, and placebo
effect, without the need for any "reactive mind" or "whole time track"
or any of Hubbard's other effluvia. One of the benefits of science is finding out that the aspirin is just as effective without the witch-doctor-dance as it is with it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OK. Let's summarize. Over 300 unique accounts post here each week. You gave us seventeen quotes, and I believe six of them to be from a single person. One is a very bad misquote, at least one is a troll, and several spurred long disagreeing threads. For Usenet it's not that bad a track record. Have you ever visited other newsgroups? Oh yes, I believe you have.
