Article: The Passion of the Cruise

FOR THE FIRST TIME, Tom Cruise opens up about Scientology — the faith that drives his life, his family and his career — and if you don’t like it, well, screw you

[…]

We sit down on the couch, and Lee Anne puts in a video. It is a tape of Tom Cruise speaking at her daughter’s graduation from the Delphian School, which uses L. Ron Hubbard’s learning principles. It is a passionate speech, in which Cruise sings the praises of Hubbard’s “Study Tech” and rails against psychiatry and psychiatric medication.

[…]

Vincent is not a nice guy: He is a cold-blooded killer and an unredeemable sociopath who leaves a trail of bodies in his wake.

[…]

Since Scientology, in the popular imagination, is such a loaded word  — often associated with heavy-handed recruitment tactics, strong-arm-lawyer assaults and steep membership and course fees — one would think that Cruise wouldn’t be so willing to take a journalist through that world.

“Who are those people that say those things?” Cruise asks when I bring it up over lunch one day. “Because I promise you, it isn’t everybody. But I look at those people and I say, ‘Bring it. I’m a Scientologist, man. What do you want to know?’ I don’t mind answering questions.”

He lists some of Scientology’s selling points: its drug-abuse, prison-rehabilitation and education programs. “Some people, well, if they don’t like Scientology, well, then, fuck you.” He rises from the table. “Really.” He points an angry finger at the imaginary enemy. “Fuck you.” His face reddens. “Period.”

It’s a beautiful exhibition, and I don’t believe that he’s acting.

[…]

When we return to the riding lesson there are two words that seem to recur over and over in Cruise’s stories and instructions: competence —  his goal in learning anything new — and gradient, which is a step in the process of learning. Days later, when he supplies me with materials written by L. Ron Hubbard, I will learn that they are concepts that come from his pamphlet The Way to Happiness (Step 17: Be Competent) and his Study Tech manuals (Barrier 2 to Study: Too Steep a Gradient).

[…]

ON SCIENTOLOGY VS. PSYCHIATRY: “I don’t keep counsel with others. If I know I’m right, I’m not going to ask anybody. I’ve made every decision for myself.”

[…]

the father figure is no longer a nice guy. He is a killer whom his charges try desparately to escape from.

As Cruise puts it, he chose his character in Collateral because he was “interested in playing an antisocial personality in a way that is inviting but unrelenting.”

[…]

If you really want to know, get What Is Scientology?, the book, and look at it, because that’s what Scientology is. It’s a very large body of knowledge with tools that are available. It’s, ah…it really is the shit, man.

Article: The Sea Org Handling Suppression on the 4th Dynamic

THE SEA ORG

HANDLING SUPPRESSION ON THE FOURTH DYNAMIC

“We are making a safe environment in which ethics, tech and admin can be put in on a planet in order to be able to run out the fourth dynamic engram.” LRH

Throughout Scientology’s history, SPs have attempted to subvert the tech and prevent people from moving up The Bridge. But again and again, in country after country, those who seek to suppress mankind and thwart Scientology’s expansion come up against the one group they cannot overwhelm or beat when they stand face-to-face with the Sea Org.

The Office of Special Affairs network is headed by the Office of Special Affairs International and has offices in each CLO around the world. These units are staffed by Sea Org members, because historically, the safety of Scientology has been entrusted to Sea Organization members—because they have a level of dedication and toughness that is necessary to deal with suppression on the fourth dynamic.

This team of Sea Org members is achieving victory after victory on the external front through the application of standard LRH tech.

There is never any compromise when it comes to protecting the delivery of Scientology in our orgs through the standard application of LRH ethics tech. Being the top of The Bridge, and because of its importance to Scientology and to the rest of the planet, this is particularly true at Flag Land Base. And it was this unreasonable viewpoint which brought about one of the Sea Org’s most important recent victories.

The battle centered around a handful of SPs who had waged an unsuccessful campaign to drive the Church out of Clearwater. In the face of Flag’s continued expansion, their efforts became even more frantic.

Their suppressive assault began in the mid-1970s when the purchase of the Fort Harrison cut across the plans of local SPs to depress the local real estate market so they could move in and buy up the city cheaply. Reacting to our presence, they pushed through a city ordinance in the early 80s designed to give the city the power to control and manage any religious organization’s finances and operations. Of course, in spite of their efforts to camouflage their bad intentions, it was clearly aimed solely at the Church of Scientology. These officials wanted to be able to move in and take over the Church.

In the early 1980s, a Sea Org Command Team fired to form the Office of Special Affairs at the FLB to deal with these suppressives. One of the first actions was to file a lawsuit against the city.

This proved to be only the first skirmish in a tenacious, decade-long battle. Eventually, in September 1993, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a landmark ruling that protects the rights of all religious organizations throughout the United States. The Court blasted the ordinance and ruled that it had been enacted for an improper political purpose. The Court ruled 100% in our favor. They further found that the ordinance violated a portion of the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion in America.

Not only had the SPs lost and the Church been totally vindicated, but Sea Org members in the Office of Special Affairs had brought about what has been termed one of the greatest victories for First Amendment religious rights this century.

These SPs, however, could not admit defeat. In a last, desperate effort, city officials tried to appeal the case, but the highest court in the land, the U.S. Supreme Court, refused to hear it.

Even then, they tried to carry forward with a small portion of the ordinance that had not been specifically declared unconstitutional by the courts. They were willing to continue wasting taxpayer money so they could be right.

The Office of Special Affairs, through the efforts of its dedicated Sea Org members, took the next step to get in their ethics. Special editions of Freedom were produced for the Clearwater area. Distributed widely to civic leaders, businessmen and taxpayers, a series of articles exposed the truth and the real motives of those who had been behind this attack.

The truth impinged.

The last few holdouts on the City Commission came to their senses.

They passed a law that officially repealed the ordinance. Scientology was totally victorious and the city paid the Church $635,000 to reimburse all we spent to get their ethics in and bring their illegal acts to a halt.

Scientology is today enjoying unprecedented acceptance and expansion in Clearwater. Clearly, the road to OT will never be blocked in the presence of the Sea Org.

ERADICATING EXTERNAL SPs

No matter where situations arise, Sea Org members work as a team to create a safe environment for Scientology. Keeping the route to OT open means protecting The Bridge at all levels.

In the United Kingdom, for example, one old-time suppressive tried for years to foist his lies about Scientology on the media and others. This year he was completely shut down by the courts. Unemployed and abandoned by his family, this squirrel had schemed to make money by hawking his lies in a book. But, the Office of Special Affairs had a court declare his book libelous.

Following a series of legal defeats, he was prevented from distributing his materials, and ordered to pay the Church more than 70,000 pounds in sanctions, costs and fees. He has now been forced into bankruptcy, joining two others who met the same fate in the last year after they were confronted by Sea Org members and would not voluntarily stop their squirreling.

LEGAL WINS AROUND THE WORLD

In Italy, OSA struck a major blow to the psych-backed enemies who have been trying without success for years to prevent Scientology from expanding in their country.

In a precedential ruling, the Supreme Court shut down attempts by psych-influenced prosecutors to portray the religious activities of the Church as unlawful.

This battle had begun in 1986, after CCHR started to expose the horrendous crimes being committed by psychs in Italy. The psychs recruited an allied prosecutor who ordered raids on Italian Churches and Narconons and closed them down. [1. The Sea Org Handling Suppression on the 4th Dynamic (ca. 1995).

HCOPL: Policy on Psychiatric and Medical Failures

 

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO POLICY LETTER OF 29 JUNE 1971R1
Issue I
REVISED 24 JUNE 1988

POLICY ON PSYCHIATRIC AND MEDICAL FAILURES

Ref:
HCO PL 29 June 71 II PUBLIC WARNING ON PSYCHIATRY

POLICY IS THAT WE ASSIGN ANY CASE OF UPSET IN SCIENTOLOGY TO PAST DAMAGE AND INTERFERENCE WITH THE PERSON BY MEDICINE OR PSYCHIATRY. THEY WERE SENT TO US AFTER MEDICINE OR PSYCHIATRY HAD ALREADY DESTROYED THEM. WE CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR PSYCHIATRIC OR MEDICAL FAILURES.

By continually repeating this, make the AMA, the National Association of Mental Health, etc., very wary of using our name on these psychiatric and medical failures. Both subjects are guilty and the statement is demonstrably true. Use it often. Make it known to the enemy that this is our policy as a restraint on their fetid imaginations. Or an “Every time you attack us we will disclose more records of your failures.”

We will also run this policy in The Auditor and on other channels. Psychiatry and medicine began this existing death and drug scene and it’s time somebody began to say so. It is the true reason for any failure we have ever had. All such records show it.

They’re just trying to cover up their crimes by saying somebody else is to blame.

All psychotics do that, especially psychiatrists.

We may as well begin to publicize the correct cause for any cultural decay in both the East and West.

A weird society really, in which any liar can spread unbelievable nonsense and authorities act on it. If those in charge in the US and England are this irresponsible (and they are) then they are fitting companions for dishonest and degraded “social scientists.”

I wouldn’t trust any of these guys with the garbage.

Strangely enough little countries have maintained much greater integrity than the “leading nations.” And boy do these little countries get lied about and pushed around!

This was a fairly happy planet before the coming of the psychiatrist and psychologist.

In spite of any accidents or opposition, we can do our share in making it one again.

HCOB: Criminals and Psychiatry

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO BULLETIN OF 29 JULY 19801

CRIMINALS AND PSYCHIATRY

Almost every modern horror crime was committed by a known criminal who had been in and out of the hands of psychiatrists and psychologists often many times.

There is no particular reason to enumerate endless case histories of this:  they occur too frequently in news accounts and the newspaper morgues are thick with them.And as such stories develop it is found that the perpetrator had a long history, some even from childhood, of psychiatric and psychological treatment.

Such a record of failure does not seem to come to the attention of legislators and these  continue  to  pour  floods  of  money  into  the  coffers  of  the  psychiatrists, psychologists  and  their  organizations.  The  public  at  large,  by  survey,  seems  to  be aware  of  this  state  of  affairs  if  not  the  whole  facts:  the  only  real  customers  the psychiatrist and psychologist have are the governments—the public does not of its own volition go to them.

The most charitable look at this would be that the psychologists and psychiatrists are simply incompetent. But other more sinister implications can be drawn.

Developed in the latter part of the 19th Century, they appeared on the militaristic scene of a re-arming and conquest-minded Germany. At that time, the arch-criminal Bismarck was laying the ground work for the slaughters of World War I and World War II. It fitted with the philosophy of militarism that man was an animal and that there was neither soul nor morality standing in the way of the wholesale murder of war.

Up  until  that  time  the  Church  had  some  influence  upon  the  state  and  possibly some power in restraining bestiality and savagely insane conduct but, small as it might have been, it was incompatible with the unholy ambitions of the militarists. That man was only an animal after all, soulless and entitled to no decency, was bound to be a popular doctrine. That insanity consisted of urges to harm others would have been a very unpopular idea to government heads who had nothing else in mind. And so the notion that insanity was a physical disease was taken up avidly.

The basic tenet of psychology is that man is just an animal. The basic tenet of psychiatry is that insanity is a physical disease. Neither has any proof that these tenets are correct. That man can be reduced to animalistic behavior does not prove that that is his true basic nature. That some physical diseases also produce mental aberration  does not prove that any “mental illness” has bacteria or virus and indeed none have ever been isolated.

The  instigators,  patrons  and  supporters  of  these  two  subjects  classify  fully  and demonstrably as criminals.

If the crimes committed by a government in one single day were committed by an individual, that individual would be promptly put in a cell and probably even a padded cell.

Unfortunately, positions of power and authority attract to themselves beings who, all  too  often,  need  that  altitude  to  exercise  their  lust  for  covertly  or  overtly  harming others.

Government positions are well suited to this use; they are also all too often held to be above any law. Some of the most notorious criminals in history have operated from government positions.  This becomes statistically impressive when one counts the Looking this over (and it is amply documented in any history book or newspaper) one can begin to make some kind of sense out of it. Spawned by an insanely militaristic government,  psychiatry  and  psychology  find  avid  support  from  oppressive  and domineering governments. The employer of these people classifies, even in the most generous view, as criminal. Thus it cannot be much wondered at that these subjects have no real success or even interest in detecting and handling criminals.

One cannot go so far as to say that psychiatry and psychology knowingly create criminals or actively plan and implant their patients to commit crimes, even though it might look this way in some cases. Rather, these subjects are false subjects, based on false principles which are well suited to the demands and ambitions of their employers.

Their technology is incapable of detecting, much less helping, the criminal. It is even doubtful  if  their  employers,  the  governments,  would  tolerate  a  subject  which  could detect and  resolve  criminality—for  who  would  be  the  first  ones  detected?  Some amongst the governments, of course. No, the wolf would only favor a jury of wolves to judge the crime of killing sheep. That is why you see governments flooding out money for psychologists in schools and psychiatrists in government departments.

With  a  complete,  government  supported  monopoly  in  the  field  of  the  mind, potential criminals will go right on remaining undetected until they injure or slaughter citizens  and, having  done  so,  become  unrelieved  or  even  confirmed  in  their  habit patterns in the hands of psychiatrists and psychologists and re-released upon the world to further injure and slaughter citizens.

The credence and power of psychiatry and psychology are waning. It hit its zenith about 1960:  then it seemed their word was law and that they could harm, injure and kill patients without  restraint.  The  appearance  of  an  actual  technology  of  the  mind—Dianetics and Scientology—has played no small part in acting as a restraint. At one time  they  were  well on  their  way  to  turning  every  baby  into  a  future  robot  for  the manipulation of the state and every society into a madhouse of crime and immorality.

The world is still suffering from the effects of that domination.

There is no real reason why, using the proper technology, the criminal cannot be detected and also reformed. One might also, by the use of false data stripping, redeem a psychologist or psychiatrist—though this would be made difficult by the fact that he achieves  all  his  power  and  money  from  the  state  which  might  have  quite  different purposes for him.

The world is turning, things change. And there may come a day when the mad dogs of the world are not given over to the charge of mad dogs. But that will be to the degree that you successfully carry forward Dianetics and Scientology.

PSYCHOSIS, MORE ABOUT

(Excerpted from HCOB 17 June 71, which is a Flag-only bulletin.)

All aberration is to a greater or lesser degree nonsurvival.

To be rid of major aberrations is to have a new life.

To understand this one must understand the most severe aberration which is psychosis.

The actual basis of all psychosis is motive. It is NOT competence or incompetence.

Below all psychotic conduct lies an evil purpose.

Because psychiatry and psychology did not have this single technical fact they defined psychosis as “incompetence,” had the wrong target and so could not and never did understand psychosis and were thereby led into atrocities such as shocks and brain surgery and, in the country where these subjects originated (Germany), slaughtered 300,000 insane in gas chambers some time before Hitler came to power.

A true psychotic can be brilliant or stupid, competent or incompetent. It is his general motive or purpose that determines whether or not he is insane or sane.

Famous psychotics like Napoleon, Ivan the Terrible, Stalin and Hitler were all quite brilliant yet wound up destroying everything in sight including their own people.

They had a destructive basic purpose. Every psychotic has one. It is usually covert, hidden, but in full play against his unsuspecting friends.

The sole difference in motive is whether it is destructive or constructive.

Everyone has a basic purpose. The psychotic has a destructive one.

The test of a personality, then, is whether the result of a person’s activity is destructive or constructive.

Man is basically good. When he finds he is being too destructive he recognizes he is bad for others and seeks to leave. He will also try to become less powerful, ill or to kill himself.

The progress of psychosis then begins with a belief something is evil. This is followed with an effort to stop it. This stop becomes general. A basic purpose is then formed which contains an evil intent.

The being then goes on from disaster to disaster, seeking overtly or covertly to destroy everything around him.

At a guess about 15 percent to 25 percent of living human beings are psychotic and bring covert disaster to those around them and themselves.

The evil purpose is expressed by committing harmful acts and withholding them.

Ordinary Overt/Withhold Processes, as in Grade II Expanded, can handle this condition providing the person can be audited and providing the evil purpose is also brought to view.

About one third of the psychotics handled in this way recover their sanity fully and lead constructive decent lives. Two thirds are either so far gone, irresponsible or hard to audit that they improve but are of little use.

Those already subjected to the brutalities of psychiatric “treatment” or psychological “counseling” are the most difficult.

Those who have been on drugs, particularly LSD 25 as developed by psychiatry “so their nurses would be able to experience what being insane feels like” around 1950, are very difficult cases.

HCOB: The Technical Breakthrough of 1973! The Introspection RD

THE TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGH OF 1973!

THE INTROSPECTION RD

I have made a technical breakthrough which possibly ranks with the major discoveries of the twentieth century. It is certainly the greatest advancement of  1973 and is now being released after a final wrap-up of research. It is called the Introspection Rundown.

The purpose of the Introspection RD is to locate and correct those things which cause a person to fixate his attention inwardly, on himself or his bank. This RD extroverts the person so that he can see his environment and therefore handle and control it.

RESEARCH

In 1970 the actual cause of PSYCHOSIS was isolated (as given in HCOB 28 Nov. 70, C/S Series 22, PSYCHOSIS). In the ensuing years this has been proven beyond doubt to be totally correct.

But what is a psychotic break?

Man has never been able to solve the psychotic break. In fact, human beings are actually afraid of a person in a psychotic break and in desperation turn to psychiatry to handle.

Psychiatry, desperate in its turn, without effective tech, resorts to barbarities such as heavy drugs, ice picks, electric and insulin shock which half-kill the person and only suppress him. The fact remains there has never been a cure for the psychotic break until now.

The key is WHAT CAUSED THE PERSON TO INTROSPECT BEFORE THE PSYCHOTIC BREAK.

The breakthrough was made on a person who, after a series of wrong indications, went into a full-blown psychotic break — violence, destruction and all.

The psychiatrist at this point would have sharpened up his ice pick, filled his syringes with the most powerful (and deadly) drugs he could find and turned up the volts. His “handling” would have been a final destruction of the individual.

What was done was an auditor went into the room, sat the person down and corrected the last severe point of wrong indication. Subsequent times of wrong indication in his life were cleared up, the person came out of the psychotic break and into present time.

THIS MEANS THE LAST REASON TO HAVE PSYCHIATRY AROUND IS GONE.

The psychotic break, the last of the “unsolvable” conditions that can trap a person, has been solved.

And it’s quite simple, really.

[…]

You have in your hands the tool to take over mental therapy in full. You need not fear the insane or the psychotic break any longer.

Here also is the cure for the continual self-auditing pc who is dug into his bank. It works on all pcs in fact with rave results.

Do it flawlessly and we all win.
