FLAG CONDITION ORDER 343
BANKSTON'S FATE
Peggy Bankston (yesterday Comm Eved and declared SP after being found guilty on all counts) has actually had a worse fate.
She pretended to have been trained and processed up through the grades, even pretended to have done the SHSBC and Org Exec Course.
Made suspicious by her statements "your Scientology" and "your ideas"
and a failed mission, officers checked up. She said she had done all but one week of the SH Course but no checksheet could be found. As she was a clerk on the Clearing Course SH anything could have been done to her record there. As 4th Mate (Div 5) AR, she could not audit an English wog because he didn't know the difficult words in the grade commands." Actually she couldn't audit and apparently had no training.
Under discipline she said to the Comm Ev that she had had no case gains or didn't know if she had.
On Avon she was given a rehab for Sect III OT but in fact was pushed to her first grade in auditing, grade zero by an auditor as records show.
Now we come to a horrible fate. By falsely attesting training and grades, she got thrown by a perfectly honest auditor into the middle of Sect III OT. Yet she couldn't even handle a meter and just sort of maundered about in a "Solo Session" watching the needle move around.
And now a worse fate: she did not know enough about tech to know the indicators knows. She did not know a no-case-gain in an SP and so told it to a Comm Ev. She did not know that demanding money back for training and processing brings a total out!
And not knowing these things, she hung herself.
But an even worse fate. As a total wog she has been associating with OTs, all the while with a heavy w/h about the real status on grades and class, not even knowing the effects of a w/h.
Actually she did have case gains! A Cl VII on Avon pushed her up to Grade Zero F/N. This and a green form cured her alcoholism, a manic-depressive tendency and got her up toward studying.
At any time if she had opened up, I am sure any of us would have gotten her properly trained and processed.
Scientologists are like that.
Not knowing that the tech really was there she hung herself.
One would say she was just wog-stupid. She created a mystery and a wondering amongst others. Section V OT and an alcoholic? She just didn't ring true.
She rockslams on "The greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics"!
All due respect, nobody is all bad. She did her actual duties well so long as she was not in charge of anything or anyone. The only real faults she had was suppressive carrying and use of off line messages and making others around her a bit unhappy and puzzled.
She may or may not straighten out. The sentence of an SP in the Sea Org is pretty grisly. But that is not why I'm writing this.
She's an example of how you can tell a false attestation. And a lesson in detection. When they don't know their tech at all, not even Cl 0 tech, they slip. They don't even know the tech is there to know and that people around them get puzzled by them.
I hope, as I hope for anyone that she does straighten out.
It's so rough to be the other way.
