The subject of "GPMs," or "Goals, Problems, Mass" was the favorite
topic of Scientologists in the early 1960s. These were people's actual
goals, actual problems, and the resultant mass or unhappy residue.

People at St. Hill in England had been told that once these GPMs were
resolved, the final barrier to the state of Operating Thetan will have
been removed. And people were excited.

During a roughly two year period, Ron Hubbard had examined many
auditing folders and worked out nuances of technique. No Scientologist
doubted that he was collecting data with which to help Mankind.

Then, in 1963, there was a sudden shift in emphasis. In fact, a
complete reversal. Ron Hubbard announced that Implanted GPMs were what
really mattered. According to Ron, what was wrong with people would be
resolved by "running" these Implants. And they were the same for
everyone.

Many Scientologists were bewildered. Ron continued talking and writing.
He said one thing, then another, modifying his statements - perhaps
fearing a quiet exodus from St. Hill by the disillusioned. When things
quited down, he returned to his original assertion, and all discussion
was over. It was going to be Implants, just like the old 'History of
Man' book. Only they were top secret now. And "deadly." And Ron would
tell you what they were, and you'd end up thanking him with success
story after success story.

Years later, it would become obvious that Ron had been working toward
objectives which were not those he had stated to his eager followers at
St. Hill. With the advent of the "Sea Org," and Ron becoming the
"Commodore," it seemed strange. Some people became more deeply
involved; others diplomatically drifted away.

Starting in the late 1970s, and through the 1980s, much was to be
revealed: writings by Ron that most had never seen. The details of the
covert "war" that Ron had been waging on the outside world became
known. His "tech" for waging that "war" also was revealed. Then, there
was the startling realization that explained so much: Ron had been
applying that same "tech" to his own loyal followers.

Ron had written, confidentially, of applying "enemy tactics" to
Scientology's enemies in the outside world. Scientologists had some
idea of what these "enemy tactics" might be. And, after all, to a
Scientologist, who saw Ron and Scientology as the only hope for
Mankind, this was not an intolerable notion.

Some still remembered the odd little 1955 booklet, the one called the
Russian Brainwashing Manual. It certainly described all sorts of "enemy
tactics." And Ron had spoken, and written, over the years, of the
enemies of Mankind and how they thought and behaved.

But now, with the release of the "Intelligence tech" writings in
December of 1979, and then, the biographical materials of the summer of
1984, things began to change. It took time to sink in. Time for
information to become known and understood.

And, over time, many things became understood. To his once loyal
followers, one of the strangest was that, not only had Ron used "enemy
tactics" on THEM, but that Ron had become the chief Implanter.

As he had done many times over the years, in his won sly way Ron told
his followers what he was going to do to them, but in such a way that
they would not suspect it.

Ron had even done this in his initial description of the newly invented
collection of secret levels of counseling. In a Bulletin of 8 March
1963, he wrote:

"An implant is an electronic means of overwhelming the thetan with a
significance.'

Nobody suspected at the time that the "electronic means" was going to
be a simple bio-feedback device called an E-meter. "Your E-meter will
tell you," Ron had told them. And Scientology's super-hyped secret
levels would inevitably produce emotional responses - responses the
E-meter would then display.

"...use was made of the actual patterns of living to impress and entrap
a thetan and force obedience to behavior patterns."

Ron goes on for a couple of pages, then ends the Bulletin:

"Well, that's the announcement. When you come out of any decline it
puts you into, get busy [running implants] and get through. You were
supposed to feel disheartened."

Of course, no one was going to actually "get through." There would be
even more implants, and then multitudes of "body thetans." And Ron
would go into hiding, write about how ancient psyhiatrists invented
sex, and die, sedated with a psychiatric drug, in a motor home in San
Luis Opispo.

And in the year 2005 there are still people applauding his pictures,
saving up their money to buy the latest model E-meter, and be happily
[the hope] "overwhelmed by a significance."

I trust anybody with two ounces of sense will know enough to realize this
treatise by Muldoon is an exercise in suppression and 3rd partying. An
exercise in button-pushing nonsense, really.

He's a calculating psychotic.

Interesting to watch the self-censoring mechanisms at work in the
outside the C of S "Ron people" - the personality cult people.

These being differentiated from the idea people.

The personality cult people have a strong "LRH = Survival" computation.

It overrides their otherwise rational thought processes.

The e-meter has multiple uses - some are good, some are manipulative -
it is not a truth detector. It responds to emotions. In a manipulative
situation, its reactions reflect that manipulative situation - not what
is true or real.

People in the cult can sometimes, eventually, leave; those with the
cult IN them often can never "leave," even after exiting the C of S,
they can't shake the programming.

Reading remarks by the "Ron people" sometimes found on ACT, has
reminded me of this incredibly sad reality.
