Yes, $cientology, yours is a PR world. $cientology is a world of cover
up, of putting up a lot of false reports to serve as a smoke screen
for idleness or bad actions. Idleness in $cientology would be the
utter unworkability of your auditing psychotherapy. Yes, falsehoods
are your technique of communicating ideas.
But, $cientology, even in these admissions Hubbard lied. Because few
of your falsehoods are cheery. (Venusian freight train almost running
down Johnny Goodbugger comes to mind.) Most of your falsehoods,
however, are uncheery, base, immoral, malevolent, rotten, hurtful,
malicious, noxious, malignant, cruel, venomous and Hubbardian.

Mark, at first I thought you were kidding or posting hogwash. But sure
enough (fellow scientologist lurkers), look up the word and you will see
Mark quoted the definition EXACTLY as in the tech dictionary.
There is no question that CofS int. management is actively practicing PR as
it's defined here by L. Ron Hubbard.
Thank you Mark for pointing this out. It was a shocker (to me anyway.)
Yours for religious freedom,
Safe, an authentic, informed NON-CofS Scientologist

Confirmed, and that's really crazy... how could he be so naďve or so wicked,
depending the viewpoints?

Yes, yes...but if LRH were alive today, he would have an answer. Something
like, these little snippets were excerpted out of context from his writings by
the people who compiled the dictionary. Therefore, they have evil intentions
and must be sec checked and put in the RPF.
In other words, he would PR his way out of it ;-)

Then there's the Modern Management Technology Defined defition:
PUBLIC RELATIONS, 1. in the field of public relations good works
well publicized is one of the definitions which they give to
a text hook on the subject, that's supposed to be the perfect
definition of PR, couldn't be further from the truth - effective
cause well demonstrated - you see they need a few little refinements.
Then you can make forward progress. (FEBC 2, 7101C18 SO I) 2.
the art of making good works well known. (HCO PL 21 Nov 72 I)
3. public relations is causative. To be effective it must cause
something. PR is essentially a communications subject and follows
the communication formula. The object of PR is persuasion to think,
either newly or differently or to keep on thinking the same way.
(HCO PL 7 Aug 72R) 4. the social technology of handling and changing
human emotion and reaction. (HCO PL 2 Jun 71 II) 5. the willful
broadcast of Information. (HCO PL 11 May 71 III) 6. the duty and
purpose of a public relations man is: the interpretation of top
management policy to the different publics of the company - to
advise top management so that policy if lacking can be set - to
make the company, its actions or products known, accepted and
understood by the different publics - and to assist the company
to exist in a favorable operating climate so that it can expand,
prosper and be viable. (HCO PL 18 Nov 70 II) 7. the technique of
communicating an acceptable truth - and which will attain the
desirable result. (HCO PL 13 Aug 70 II) 8. a technique of creating
states of mind in different types of audiences or publics. PR can
be used or abused. (HCO PL 13 Aug 70 I) 9. public relations, a
technique of communication of ideas. (HCO PL 13 Aug 70 I) 10.
the function of PR is to interpret the policies of management to
the various publics with which management is dealing: interpret,
popularize, get them accepted, find facts about the unacceptability
of the policies, get campaigns to make them more popular, test
public opinion with regard to the campaigns. They're molding
opinion. (7003C27 SO) 11. (under HCO) purpose: to maintain and
increase good public relations for the organizations of Dn and
Scn. (HCO PL 12 Oct 62) Abbr. PR.
#6 and #10 are very telling; the same policy is to be interpreted
on a gradient scale to different publics. Thus, Fair Game policy
can be said to be cancelled - an acceptable truth (but why did
Hubbard ever write such a nasty policy in the first place, then?)
- to the greens and new staff, while the top level staff know
damn well that all Fair Game policies are still in force in 1999,
and ARE TO BE APPLIED. If a new OSA staffer questioned the use
of Fair Game, noting it had been "cancelled", they would diligently
be shown this quote from the issue which supposedly "cancelled"
Fair Game:
HCOPL 21 October 1968
"This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling
of an SP."
See? No actual policy change in *actions*, just a PR word change,
an "acceptible truth" for those who aren't hard-edged enough to
accept that SPs must be stopped by any and all means, legal and
illegal, overt and covert.
Issues like this one are still in force:
HCOPL 18 October 1967 Issue IV
"ENEMY - SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or
injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline
of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or
destroyed."
Nice.
The tech dictionary definitions are more honest, but it's the
same thing either way. Note: "5. the willful broadcast of
Information. (HCO PL 11 May 71 III)". Considering Hubbard's
ideas about what constitutes communication, it could be
translated into English as: "the willful broadcast of
MISinformation."
