Article: “2001 saw us shooting down SPs like ducks in a pond.”

SPDL note: All of the people in this audience heard Scientology leader David Miscavige announce that 2001 saw the cult “shooting down SPs like ducks in a pond.” None these people protested. All of these people cheered. People with any humanity left in them would be horrified.

Article: Religious Technology Center and the Inspector General Network

Definition: Inspector General An independent authority who inspects the conduct, ethics and morale of the troops and the officers. The Inspector General also investigates reports of corruption, subversion or infiltration and has the authority to handle. The key to success of an Inspector General is independence and objectivity.

Fifteen years ago, a momentous event took place, one which determined the whole of our collective destiny: LRH formed the Religious Technology Center.

By the early nineteen eighties, LRH codified and turned over the many duties he performed in Scientology -from Executive Director International to auditor. Yet one crucial hat remained – protector of the religion.

He knew that in order to turn that hat over he would require a team of the most dedicated Sea Org members. That hat would require a special form of dedication, born from unwavering certainty that Scientology works. Finally, that hat would require an absolute uncorruptibility. In other words, it would require a team of Sea Org members who would operate exterior to the organizations and be utterly uncompromising with the tech. Religious Technology Center and its Inspector General Network has become that team.

LRH’s stated purpose for RTC was, “To safeguard the proper use of trademarks, to protect the public and to make sure that the powerful technology of Dianetics and Scientology remains in good hands and is properly used.”

This was no theoretical idea. RTC was formed after Scientology organizations had been assaulted by attacks and infiltration in the early 80s. LRH related the story in RJ 38:

“This conflict is quite a dramatic story. At last a small hard-core group of founding members, devoted on-policy, in-tech Scientologists who suddenly understood what was happening, used their power as Trustees and, just as it looked like the Churches were finished and about to fall into hostile hands, they suddenly isolated the infiltrators and threw them out!”

This may seem fantastic to those who did not live through those times. That’s only because since that time RTC has safeguarded the technology and those responsible for its ethical delivery so effectively, calm has apparently reigned for the past fifteen years.

How is this continuing duty accomplished?

LRH gave to RTC the trademarks of Dianetics and Scientology. The trademarks are certain words and symbols of the Scientology religion that are legally owned, registered and licensed to ensure the purity of application of the technologies by those authorized to use them. Misuse or misrepresentation (calling something Scientology that is not, or calling Scientology practices something else) can be legally enjoined by RTC’s exercise of its rights.

In fact, in the past year alone RTC has won three landmark legal cases preventing unauthorized use of Scientology materials by unscrupulous individuals.

These court decisions set legal standards recognized across the world.

But RTC does much more within Scientology organizations to ensure the standard application of LRH tech. This is accomplished through its Inspector General Network. Inspector Generals investigate and root out suppressives within and outside Scientology orgs who would prevent or distract from 100% standard application of tech. The Inspector Generals also inspect technical and policy standards of application and correct them where they are out.

RTC collects tremendous amounts of information by direct inspection and by reports from staff and public across the globe. This points up broader situations that require more comprehensive handling. For example, the investigation and evaluation and resultant production and implementation of the tools to make perfect auditors in any Scientology organization on the planet — released under the banner “Golden Age of Tech” – has raised technical standards internationally to heights never before achieved.

Man’s ultimate freedom lies with the OT materials. And LRH recognized the tremendous backlash this fact creates with suppressives:

“Psychotics deal with doing people in. Their whole mission in life is destruction.

“They inveigh against lower-level gains and seek to discredit them since these run contrary to their aberrated purpose.

“But when it gets to Clears and OT levels, psychos go berserk!”

That is why LRH entrusted RTC directly with safeguarding the upper end of The Bridge. RTC licenses each Advanced Org to use the Advanced Tech under specific guidelines protecting their security and ensuring their standard delivery. And because their security and exact application is so important, RTC has created offices and posted Inspector Generals at each of the Advanced Orgs.

Here too, broader situations are evaluated and action taken to raise technical standards. With the breakthroughs of the Golden Age of Tech being applied to Solo auditors in the OT band, never before have so many OTs been made in so short a time.

RTC is not involved in day-to-day operations or Church management. That is by design. LRH had discovered that the future of Scientology could only be assured by an external body not subjected to or influenced by statistical concerns or the bustle of day-to-day events. Indeed, only such a group would then have the vision to locate hidden subversives intent on stopping Scientology who would otherwise remain hidden in the wake of chaos they would create through their actions.

All of RTC’s actions add up to Scientology remaining secure from unscrupulous interlopers who seek to enslave man, and keeping Scientology in the hands of those who will use it for its intended purpose to free mankind.

The legacy of RTC is already impressive. From successfully ending the war with the IRS and Interpol, to locating the Why preventing standard application and creating the Golden Age of Tech – and from the thousands of individuals we’ve helped get Standard Tech to the dozens of SPs and plants we’ve located and removed from the lines which you never heard about because we kept it off your lines. When it comes to keeping Scientology working, we get the job done.

In RJ 38 LRH summed up how all staff and public could align their actions to accomplish these ends:

“My earnest advice is: Only deal with or associate with those organizations licensed by RTC and auditors in good standing with the Church; close your ears to false statements made by bad hats and thus really clear the planet.”

Through standard inspections and reports, RTC Inspector Generals locate and root out suppressives who would otherwise create chaos and stop org expansion.

The Decision in Scientology v. Armstrong

The Decision in Scientology v. Armstrong
LA Superior Court Case No. C420153
(excerpts)1

In 1970 a police agency of the French Government conducted an investigation into Scientology and concluded, “this sect, under the pretext of ‘freeing humans’ is nothing in reality but a vast enterprise to extract the maximum amount of money from its adepts by (use of) pseudo-scientific theories, by (use of) ‘auditions’ and ‘stage settings’ (lit. to ‘create a theatrical scene’) pushed to extremes (a machine to detect lies, its own particular phraseology . . ), to estrange adepts from their families and to exercise a kind of blackmail against persons who do not wish to continue with this sect.” From the evidence presented to this court in 1984, at the very least,  similar conclusions can be drawn. In addition to violating and abusing its own members civil rights, the organization over the years with its “Fair Game” doctrine has harassed and abused those persons not in the Church whom it perceives as enemies.

The organization clearly is schizophrenic and paranoid, and this bizarre combination seems to be a reflection of its founder LRH. The evidence portrays a man who has been virtually a pathological liar when it comes to his history, background, and achievements. The writings and documents in evidence additionally reflect his egoism, greed, avarice, lust for power, and vindictiveness and aggressiveness against persons perceived by him to be disloyal or hostile. At the same time it appears that he is charismatic and highly capable of motivating, organizing, controlling, manipulating, and inspiring his adherents. He has been referred to during the trial as a “genius,” a “revered person,” a man who was ” viewed by his followers in awe.” Obviously, he is and has been a very complex person, and that complexity is further reflected in his alter ego, the Church of Scientology.

[…]

On February 18, 1982, the Church of Scientology International issued a ” Suppressive Person Declare Gerry Armstrong,”2 which is an official Scientology document issued against individuals who are considered as enemies of the Organization. Said Suppressive Person Declare charged that Defendant Armstrong had taken an unauthorized leave and that he was spreading destructive rumors about Senior Scientologists.

Defendant Armstrong was unaware of said Suppressive Person Declare until April of 1982. At that time a revised Declare was issued on April 22, 1982.3 Said Declare charged Defendant Armstrong with 18 different “Crimes and High Crimes and Suppressive Acts Against the Church.” The charges included theft, juggling accounts, obtaining loans on money under false pretenses, promulgating false information about the Church, its founder, and members, and other untruthful allegations designed to make Defendant Armstrong an appropriate subject of the Scientology “Fair Game Doctrine.” Said Doctrine allows any suppressive person to be “tricked, cheated, lied to, sued, or destroyed.”

Sentencing Memorandum (USA v. Kember & Budlong)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

JANE KEMBER:
MORRIS BUDLONG
a/k/a MO BUDLONG:

 :

:

:

:

 Criminal No. 78-401(2)&(3)1

SENTENCING MEMORANDUM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The United States of America respectfully submits this Sentencing Memorandum to aid the Court in imposing sentence in this case.

[…]

[The Scientology conspirators] challenged and attempted to undermine the judicial and governmental structure of the United States.

[…]

Thus, they perpetrated a fraud upon the American judicial system.

[…]

These crimes included: the infiltration and theft of documents from a number of prominent private, national, and world organizations, law firms, newspapers, and private citizens; the execution of smear campaigns and baseless law suits for the sole purpose of destroying private individuals who had attempted to exercise their First Amendment rights to freedom of expression; the framing of private citizens who had been critical of Scientology, including the forging of documents which led to the indictment of at least one innocent person; and violation of the civil rights of prominent private citizens and public officials.

[…]

[T]hese documents establish beyond question that the defendants, their convicted co-defendants, and their unindicted co-conspirators, as well as their organization, considered themselves above the law. They believed that they had carte blanche to violate the rights of others, frame critics in order to destroy them, burglarize private and public offices and steal documents outlining the strategy of individuals and organizations that the Church had sued. These suits were filed by the Church for the sole purpose of financially bankrupting its critics and in order to create an atmosphere of fear so that critics would shy away from exercising the First Amendment rights secured them by the Constitution. The defendants and their cohorts launched vicious smear campaigns, spreading falsehoods against those they perceived to be enemies of Scientology in order to discredit them and, in some instances, to cause them to lose their employment.

[…]

To these defendants and their associates, however, anyone who did not agree with them was considered to be an enemy against whom the so-called “fair game doctrine” could be invoked. Allard v. Church of Scientology of California, 2 58 Cal. App. 3d 439 129 Cal. Rprtr. 797 (Ct. App, 1976), cert denied, 97 S. Ct. 1101 (1977)]. That doctrine provides that anyone perceived to be an enemy of Scientology or a “suppressive person,” “[m]ay be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. [He m]ay be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.” Id. This policy, together with the actions of these defendants who represent the very top leadership of the Church of Scientology, bring into question their claim that their Church prohibited the commission of illegal acts.

[…]

The defendants directed and encouraged a number of covert operations against private individuals and public officials to destroy and discredit these persons because they had either attempted to exercise their First Amendment rights by criticizing Scientology or by attempting to carry out their duties as public officials.

[…]

That these defendants were willing to frame their critics to the point of giving false testimony under oath against them, and having them arrested and indicted speaks legion for their disdain for the rule of law. Indeed, they arrogantly placed themselves above the law meting out their personal brand of punishment to those “guilty” of opposing their selfish aims. The crimes committed by these defendants is of a breadth and scope previously unheard. No building, office, desk, or files was safe from their snooping and prying. No individual or organization was free from their despicable scheming and warped minds.

[…]

These defendants rewarded criminal activities that ended in success and sternly rebuked those that failed. The standards of human conduct embodied in such practices represent no less than the absolute perversion of any known ethical value system. In view of this, it defies the imagination that these defendants have the unmitigated audacity to seek to defend their actions in the name of “religion.” That these defendants now attempt to hide behind the sacred principles of freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the right to privacy — which principles they repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to violate with impunity — adds insult to the injuries which they have inflicted on every element of society. These defendants, their co-conspirators, their organization, and any other individual or group that might consider committing similar crimes, must be given a clear and convincing message: criminal activities of the types engaged in here shall not be tolerated by our society.

Hubbard, L. R., (1967, 18 October). Penalties For Lower Conditions. (Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter).

Notes

  1. SPDL Note: We have webbed L. Ron Hubbard’s Policy Letter “Penalties for Lower Conditions” of October 18, 1967 in its entirety for purposes of education and scholarship and as a warning to everyone of Hubbard’s and his cult’s malevolent and violent intent. This PL is instructive and illustrative of Hubbard’s psychopathology and the psychopathology with which he inculcated his followers to become “living embodiments of LRH technology.”

    Scientology’s “ethics” or “punishment” policies and practices have been discussed and criticized for decades. “Fair game” is an “ethics” policy and practice that calls for antisocial and criminal actions to be taken against people targeted as the cult’s “enemies.” Fair game, in fact, calls for capital crimes against “enemies” – their “destruction,” or “obliteration,”or murder. The “enemies” that Hubbard and Scientology intended to be fair gamed are almost universally good, decent, societally contributive, loving people. But no person targeted as an “enemy,” no matter how bad, deserves to be destroyed by this evil cult executing this evil doctrine.

    Fair game has been condemned by courts for over thirty years, and condemned by western media for even longer. Scientology says that Hubbard’s Policy Letter “Penalties for Lower Conditions” was part of the cult’s “religious scriptures,” and that fair game was its religious practice, but that the PL and the policy were cancelled. In truth, only the PL was cancelled, and fair game remains Scientology’s philosophy, policy and practice to this day. Good people are still being fair gamed, and are just as much at risk of being fair gamed today as when Hubbard published this PL in 1967.

    We believe that the good people who are the Scientologists’ “ enemies” or potential “enemies” have an absolute right to know the information contained in this document, and that such knowledge cannot be denied them by Scientology’s application of commercial copyright law.

    We believe that the safety and security of the general public necessitate this document’s exposure and broad dissemination.

    We believe that anyone considering becoming involved with the Scientology cult as a customer, employee or agent has a right to know that he or she is becoming involved with a criminally intentioned organization, which promulgates and executes this type of directive ordering crimes against good people. We believe that such a person should think very seriously about the consequences of any involvement with this cult, since that involvement very well could result in his or her commission of the kinds of actions or crimes called for in this PL against good people, or becoming the victim of these kinds of actions and crimes.

    We believe that all Scientologists have a right to know that they are being lied to by their cult’s leaders, and that these leaders and their organization is not honest, decent and ethical at all, but dishonest and violent in their policies and practices.

    We believe too that this document must be made universally available so that government and law enforcement officials know what Scientology’s real intentions are, and can act to stop fair game and protect good citizens from this dangerous and potentially deadly evil. ↩
