Scientology tenet-Propaganda and Redefinition of words- Why anti-psych SPAM is in ARS
Alert
ADVANTAGE OF THE PROPAGANDIST.
Given enough repetition of the redefinition, public opinion can be
altered by altering the meaning of a word.
The technique is good or bad depending on the ultimate objective of
the propagandist.
"Psychiatry" and "psychiatrist" are easily redefined to mean "an
antisocial enemy of the people." This takes the kill-crazy
psychiatrist off the preferred list of professions. This is a good use
of the technique as for a century the psychiatrist has been setting an
all-time record for inhumanity to Man.
The redefinition of words is done by associating different emotions
and symbols with the word than were intended.
[...]
Out of this we can redefine modern psychology as a German military
system used to condition men for war and subsidized in American and
other universities at the time the government was having trouble with
the draft. A reasonable discourse on why "they" had to push
psychology would of course be a way of redefining an already redefined
word, "psychology."
The way to redefine a word is to get the new definition repeated as
often as possible. Thus it is necessary to redefine medicine,
psychiatry and psychology downward and define Dianetics and
Scientology upwards.
This, so far as words are concerned, is the public-opinion battle for
belief in your definitions, and not those of the opposition.
A consistent, repeated effort is the key to any success with this
technique of propaganda. One must know how to do it.

The Anderson Report
CHAPTER 23
DANGERS TO MENTAL HEALTH
Although there are several features of scientology which are to be
condemned, its threat to health - particularly mental health - ranks
paramount. The HASI's boast is that it is the world's largest mental
health organization, an astonishing claim, the more so because it has
flourished for some years in open competition with orthodox medicine
and psychology. Thinly disguised as something of quality and value,
scientology has insidiously infiltrated the community. In reality it
is a dangerous medical cult, with special though not exclusive
interest in mental health, and it is concerned primarily to discredit
orthodox medicine and psychology and in lieu thereof offer its deluded
victims dangerous hypnotic and other techniques which falsely
masquerade as scientific.
The evil consequences of this deception have been dealt with at length
in this Report: Chapter 18 deals with the dangerous hypnotic aspects
of scientology processing; Chapter 19 deals with the spurious healing
claims made by scientology; Chapter 21 deals with the general effects
of processing. The hostility with which Hubbard so violently attacks
the orthodox medical and psychological professions, dealt with in
Chapter 22, produces a great fear and loathing of these professions in
the minds of his adherents, who are thus conditioned to avoid at all
costs medical practitioners, especially psychiatrists.
As already pointed out, this attitude may have tragic results, because
not only may mental and physical conditions which require early
attention for their successful treatment be neglected, but the
unfortunate sufferer may embark upon a course of scientology
processing which could produce a worsening of his condition, thereby
greatly decreasing, and possibly destroying, the prospect of
successful treatment by orthodox medicine. One psychiatrist
illustrated the danger of scientology processing which he encountered
in a patient who was a neurotic with paranoiac tendencies. The patient
had been subjected to scientology processing and thereafter resisted
all attempts by the psychiatrist to gain his confidence, a state
necessary for successful psychiatric treatment.
This Chapter deals more particularly with the dangers resulting from
the inability of scientology practitioners to observe mental or
physical conditions, and the positive harm likely to result
therefrom.
The Board heard expert medical evidence to the effect that there are
numerous conditions, physical as well as mental, where skill and
experience are required to detect them in their incipient stages when
prompt treatment is tremendously important. A person exhibiting some
degree of lethargy, a feeling of inadequacy, insecurity or anxiety may
be suffering from a cerebral tumour, some form of glandular disorder,
drug intoxication or some psychiatric condition, the detection of
which is often difficult even by skilled practitioners. With many
types of psychiatric illness it is important to treat the patient as
early as possible and the prospect of ultimate successful treatment
could be jeopardized by delays in receiving psychiatric attention. The
expert evidence was to the effect that it was difficult to determine
whether a person showing signs of depression was suffering from
melancholia or from unhappiness or tension. Even the most experienced
and skilled psychiatrist is aided by modern laboratory equipment,
radiologists and well trained psychologists, and he proceeds with
caution; the price of error may be the suicide of the patient, and
inadequate medical training may well result in failure to locate, as
the cause of the patient's depression, brain tumour, cerebral clot or
other medical condition. The more trained and experienced the
psychiatrist the greater is his humility in his investigation, and the
greater is the contrast between his investigation of the patient's
condition and the cavalier way in which the HASI assumes that all
conditions are amenable to indiscriminately applied scientology
techniques. Scientologists almost invariably apply sledge-hammer
methods, hitting savagely wherever they see a head. Such methods are
often disastrous.
One of the very grave aspects of scientology is that its practitioners
almost entirely lack any medical knowledge, and are unable to discern
in a preclear symptom which would indicate to a medical practitioner
the need for medical attention. Williams and other witnesses asserted
that the HASI had a "filter system" wherein "the ill and insane are
not encouraged to seek scientology as a cure", and that it was not the
policy of the HASI to accept for processing or as a student a person
having a history of mental illness or who appeared to have mental
illness. The HASI uses printed forms of contract in which preclears
and students acknowledge that the HASI is extending no guarantee of
cure of any specific ailment the applicant may possess and that the
course he is to undergo or treatment he is to receive is not in any
way medical or psychiatric treatment but a series of exercises
designed to increase ability. The HASI somewhat ingenuously thinks
that the terms of these contracts ensure that their processes do not
possess the quality of treatment of physical or mental conditions. It
was said by the HASI witnesses that as a further safeguard, the
applicant was given a "pre-processing security check" with the
assistance of the E-meter. Williams said that people who were in fact
undergoing psychiatric or other medical care were told that they were
unacceptable for processing.
The whole routine, including the printed form, is all part of
Hubbard's cunning in deluding his victims. In a perverse way it
heightens the belief of the applicant that scientology will cure his
complaint, for this unctuous negation by scientology of the claim to
cure, while at the same time loudly proclaiming in its literature that
it positively cures, suggests to the victim that scientology must be
the great healer it claims to be because of the apparent modest
disclaimer it so disarmingly makes.
[...]
There was further expert psychiatric evidence that such techniques as
listen style auditing encourage a trust and dependency by the patient
on the auditor. and tend to mobilize guilt and bring up emotions and
anxiety in the preclear. Such anxiety tends to provoke more symptoms,
more anxiety and perhaps more depression, leading to a worsening of
the situation. In any event, being a good listener or interviewer is
not sufficient. What is required is an understanding of the
complexities which are involved, an understanding impossible of
attainment by a person whose only claim is that he is a scientology-
trained auditor.
The danger to mental health is further emphasized by the peculiar
basis of scientology. Its practitioners use techniques based on
impossible theories and directed towards the treatment of "conditions"
said to be brought about by completely fictitious circumstances. Based
on fantasy, scientology has built up a body of "knowledge" which is
fanciful and simply not true: thus scientology treats its imaginary
"diseases" or conditions with its own fantastic procedures. The
alarming feature is that real diseases and conditions do exist and
often the fantastic scientology procedures are positively harmful to
the real condition. It is like applying an oxy-welding torch to a
leaking rubber tube to weld on a patch of rubber over a hole that does
not exist, the real trouble being a leaking valve.
It is unnecessary to dwell further at any length on the harm which
scientology has done and can do to the mental health of the community.
It is not to be doubted that scientology techniques worsen and prolong
the mental troubles of the mentally ill and that they produce in even
a normal person disturbances and anxieties which may precipitate
mental trouble.

This is a request for treatment.
[....]
I was placed on certain medication back east and have continued it at
my own expense.
After trying and failing for two years to regain my equilibrium in
civil life, I am utterly unable to approach anything like my own
competence. My last physician informed me that it might be very
helpful if I were to be examined and perhaps treated psychiatrically
or even by a psycho-analyst. Toward the end of my service I avoided
out of pride any mental examinations, hoping that time would balance a
mind which I had every reason to suppose was seriously affected. I
cannot account for nor rise above long periods of moroseness and
suicidal inclinations, and have newly come to realize that I must
first triumph above this before I can hope to rehabilitate myself at
all. I cannot leave school or what little work I am doing for
hospitalization due to many obligations, but I feel I might be treated
outside, possibly with success. I cannot, myself, afford such
treatment.
Would you please help me?

Issue IV
Confidential
TARGETS, DEFENSE
It is quite obvious that Scientology has to maintain a defense
perimeter. In 19 years of continual attacks it is obvious that
Dianetics
then Scientology must have lain across some concerted plan by another
older
group to do something else.
To analyze what the others intended, it is only necessary to review
what
Dianetics and Scientology intended to do and assume the reverse.
Experience has shown that defense is only effective when one sorties
or attacks.
When we did not give a lot of time and energy and funds to knocking
out
real enemies we came close to losing the lot.
The errors we have made have been
1. Defending only.
2. Defending on Scn ground.
3. Being reasonable and assigning mild motives to the enemy.
4. Failing to attack early and hard.
5. Undervaluing the broad social value of Scn.
6. Individuating from other similar organizations.
7. Not learning enemy tactics and using and bettering them.
8. Failing to heavily contest for public opinion and public media.
9. Failing to identify the enemy early and hit him hard.
A. Our best defense is that we are sincere, that we are
effective
and that we commit no crimes.
B. Our next best defense line was being sure the public knew
we were a Church.
C. Our next best was being quick and able and using very
fast comm lines.
We must not repeat the errors of 1 to 9.
And we must reinforce A, B and C.
TARGETS
The vital targets on which we must invest most of our time are:
T1. Depopularizing the enemy to a point of total obliteration.
T2. Taking over the control or allegiance of the heads or
proprietors of all news media.
T3. Taking over the control or allegiance of key political figures.
T4. Taking over the control or allegiance of those who monitor
international finance and shifting them to a less precarious
finance standard.
T5. Generally revitalizing the societies in which we are operating.
T6. Winning overwhelming public support.
T7. Use all other similar groups as allies.
These, of course, are very long range targets. But it is what must be
done to continue the longevity of our organizations.
Our only justification for doing these things is that Scientology is
the only game where everyone wins.
The names and connections, at this time, of the bitterly opposing
enemy are:
1. Psychiatry and psychology (not medicine).
2. The heads of news media who are also directors of psychiatric
front groups.
3. A few key political figures in the fields of "mental health" and
education.
4. A decline of monetary stability caused by the current planning of
bankers who are also directors of psychiatric front organizations
would make us unable to function.
5. The cold war is being fought on home ground and has an apparent
target
of degrading western society to a point where we are finding it
difficult
to operate; a degraded society can be swallowed up easily by an enemy.
6. The public is somewhat sympathetic already but in a democracy
trials
are by public opinion. To win all the way, the bulk of public opinion
must be at the level of love us ... hate the enemy.
7. Many groups exist with similar aims. They need organizing and
uniting.
At first glance the targets T1 to T7 are a pretty big handful. But
we have to start somewhere. And we might as well start in the
direction
of the total target as per T1 - T7.
Nearly everything we are doing is already tending in that direction
T1 - T7.
We have the advantage of new vital technology and a monopoly on it.
New technologies are the things which made progress.
We do not have a Utopian dream or a planned society. We are trying
to survive. Our theory is that if individuals become more honest and
less
harassed they will be capable of building a better society.
The fact is we would have gone along happily minding our own
business. But these fantastic and continuing attacks have pushed us
more and more into developing a technology and direction of defense.
We now have a lot of experience. We have been hurt, we have been
held back. It has cost us millions. Normal channels of the society
have
let us down. Therefore we are on our own. Obviously. To our actual
and
factual view, the West is prostrate and near helpless and the rest of
the
world is a big slave camp.
If we don't do anything about it we and everyone else are
gone
So we may as well have a go.
If we unite all groups into an interplay and use all forces extant
and channel them we have a very big chance of winning.
Therefore from an appreciation of all data to hand and experience it
seems that T1 to T7 is beneficial. Things that don't are a relative
waste
of time.
If we, doing our jobs, doing no wrong, breaking no laws, are having
trouble operating, what about the rest of the West? We're not the
only
ones in hot water. In fact we are probably in far better shape than
many
many other groups and for sure in better shape than other individuals.
So we can and must take the lead.
And we ourselves must develop many leaders.
We may as well start now and push all we are doing in defensive
actions
into T1 to T7.

PSYCHIATRY: GLOBAL OBLITERATION
<David Miscavige speaking>
By way of a recap, the campaign was expressly, maybe even
"diabolically," engineered to ignite both government action and media
blizzard. It's also got an internal kicker: our Mental Health Budget
Adjustment Kit, which essentially works like a "smart bomb" in that it
"sniffs" out psych fuel lines and blows the funding mechanism. And in
that way-to put it bluntly-we booby-trap the whole psychiatric
ecosystem.
So, while only nine weeks have passed since global activation, here's
the preliminary action report: The Citizens Commission on Human Rights
International, CCHR Central, has a tracking board designed to measure
collateral damage from our campaign roll-out. It monitors both
incoming complaints of psych abuse and outgoing "psych alerts" to
state and federal prosecutors.
And while it's sometimes tricky to determine just whose "bomb" hit the
ammo dump, this much is blazingly clear: while it takes a psych eight
years to earn his license, we've already yanked 21 in the last four
weeks.
Then there's all our campaign represents as a high-pressure system for
an anti-psych climate, of which the best barometer is the anti-psych
media index. And while CCHR trackers describe the recent weeks as
"highest ever," the psychs themselves have a somewhat more descriptive
name for it: "Apocalypse now!"
And here's the satellite view: the first of four plagues to visit
psychiatrists in the wake of our campaign was a veritable storm of
British press-more than 800 column inches mushrooming up from our
launch site in England. Then came the 2,600 newspaper, magazine and e-
news articles like a cloud of locusts from elsewhere around the world,
followed by a third swarm of news clips, documentaries and televised
forums.
Then, just when psychs thought the seas had parted and they could
safely enjoy this holiday season, it all rained down. Because what
with CCHR-inspired hearings on the menace of new generation psych
drugs, the age-old secrets of how psychs cut deals with the FDA have
finally come to light.
And since the FDA can't get "the toothpaste back in the tube," they
just agreed to smear new black box warnings all over the anti-
depressant line-up. Which in turn fueled an anti-psych media fest like
something out of Revelations and it looks like this: The Washington
Post, The Washington Times, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune,
The International Herald Tribune, USA Today, Associated Press and all
over network news. Until, as of tonight... well, let me put it like
this: At our IAS Anniversary celebration, I told you psychs were about
to believe in the Divine Wrath of God. And, sure enough, they now know
that wrath is swift and certain.
Because in just the last eight weeks came 37,824 column inches of anti-
psych press to "mess them up but good"-and that's our 2006 campaign
for the Global Obliteration of Psychiatry.

Tom Cruise is an expert on psychiatry too, you know:
Cruise: I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever. Before I was a
Scientologist I never agreed with psychiatry. And when I started
studying the history of psychiatry, I understood more and more why I
didn't believe in psychology.
And as far as the Brooke Shields thing, look, you got to understand, I
really care about Brooke Shields. I think, here's a wonderful and
talented woman. And I want to see her do well. And I know that
psychiatry is a pseudo science.
Lauer: But Tom, if she said that this particular thing helped her feel
better, whether it was the antidepressants or going to a counselor or
psychiatrist, isn't that enough?
Cruise: Matt, you have to understand this. Here we are today, where I
talk out against drugs and psychiatric abuses of electric shocking
people, okay, against their will, of drugging children with them not
knowing the effects of these drugs. Do you know what Aderol is? Do
you know Ritalin? Do you know now that Ritalin is a street drug? Do
you understand that?
Lauer: The difference is -
Cruise: No, no, Matt.
Lauer: This wasn't against her will, though.
Cruise: Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt -
Lauer: But this wasn't against her will.
Cruise: Matt, I'm asking you a question.
Lauer: I understand there's abuse of all of these things.
Cruise: No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history
of psychiatry. I do.
Lauer: Aren't there examples, and might not Brooke Shields be an
example, of someone who benefited from one of those drugs?
Cruise: All it does is mask the problem, Matt. And if you understand
the history of it, it masks the problem. That's what it does. That's
all it does. You're not getting to the reason why. There is no such
thing as a chemical imbalance.
Lauer: So, postpartum depression to you is kind of a little
psychological gobbledygook -
Cruise: No. I did not say that.
Lauer: I'm just asking what you, what would you call it?
Cruise: No. No. Abso- Matt, now you're talking about two different
things.
Lauer: But that's what she went on the antidepressant for.
Cruise: But what happens, the antidepressant, all it does is mask the
problem. There's ways, [with] vitamins and through exercise and
various things... I'm not saying that that isn't real. That's not
what I'm saying. That's an alteration of what I'm saying. I'm saying
that drugs aren't the answer, these drugs are very dangerous. They're
mind-altering, antipsychotic drugs. And there are ways of doing it
without that so that we don't end up in a brave new world. The thing
that I'm saying about Brooke is that there's misinformation, okay.
And she doesn't understand the history of psychiatry. She doesn't
understand in the same way that you don't understand it, Matt.
Lauer: But a little bit of what you're saying Tom is, you say you want
people to do well. But you want them do to well by taking the road
that you approve of, as opposed to a road that may work for them.
Cruise: No, no, I'm not.
Lauer: Well, if antidepressants work for Brooke Shields, why isn't
that okay?
Cruise: I disagree with it. And I think that there's a higher and
better quality of life. And I think that, promoting - for me
personally, see, you're saying what, I can't discuss what I wanna
discuss?

who

anybody anything close to the truth, you start releasing him and he

"No, truly enough, in a world where science and scientific secrets are
the stock in trade of the militarist, one has to be alert to the fact
that developed scientific information such as that in Scientology
continue to be free, continue to be available.
It's too large a temptation for somebody to say, "Oh. hey! we can
button this up. We've got it made here. We've got it absolutely made.
All we've got to do is take all this technology, brainwash everybody
and put up thought police towers in all the towns and it's all set,
we've got a government."
No, they haven't got a government as long as there are textbooks out
there showing how fast you can undo this same thing called
brainwashing and thought police. It's discouraging, you know, to
brainwash somebody and then have his friend walk into the nearest
bookstore and buy a manual of how to unbrainwash. It would seem sort
of pointless, wouldn't it?
So, as security measures increase and as security tightens across the
world on scientific matters, it is of great interest to us that the
information we have and which has been developed with your help, your
finance, your interest, across a period of seven years, is today free.
That hasn't been just a little bit of doing.
You're probably not aware of the fact that before the incorporation
papers of the HDRF were filed in 1950, the Office of Naval

sure that the channels were so wide that they were very uninviting.
Nobody wants something that isn't a secret. There is nothing quite as
unwanted by a government as yesterday's secret known today. A very
amusing story connected with that attempt to seize Dianetics, a very
amusing story from my standpoint anyway. Months and months and months
before I had decided that the Navy and I had come to a crossroads and
I had requested permission from the secretary of the Navy to resign my
commission - my commission had been hanging fire since the end of
World War II - and he had granted permission. Now, that's the
lengthiest amount of time consumed, trying to get a letter into a
government office and get an answer to it. See, that's pretty long.
And I already had that. So this fellow, this officer from the Office
of Naval Research, came to see me right here in Washington and he
wanted me to go on as a civilian employee in order to use what I knew
of the mind to make men more suggestible.
And I smiled a feline smile. And I said, "No."
And he smiled like something out of Faust, and he said to me, "Well,
all you have to do is say 'No' and I will call you back to active duty
because you still are an officer of the United States Navy." And with
that purr he exited.
So I dived into my briefcase and pulled forth the secretary's
permission. I dashed down here and found out there was actually a
naval command in this area - it's called the Potomac River Naval
Command, I don't know what they run. Once I think they tried to run
the battleship Missouri. But there it sat down there, and it had an
admiral in charge of it and everything, and I found out that my papers
were resident in two places. People thought I belonged in Washington,
in Washington, and people in New York thought I belonged in New York,
and I had two sets of papers. This admiral that had come to see me
thought I was totally out of New York. So I went down here to the
Washington Navy Yard, the Potomac River Naval Command, and I got my
resignation accepted. And Thursday the admiral came back to see me,
and he says, "Well?" And I said, "Well?" Fastest resignation on
record. There wasn't anything he could do about it then. And I went
back up to Elizabeth, New Jersey and the HDRF, the first research
foundation, was formed, and we went happily on our way just throwing
it all over the place.
The Bureau of Naval Personnel still has a form letter. If you want to
know what it says, write them sometime and say, "Why don't you use
Dianetics or Scientology? What do you know about these subjects?"
They send you back a form letter, and it's very polite, and it's
personally written. It's always the same letter: "We are keeping full
records on this and are learning more and more about it. We do not
know whether or not it's applicable to our work at this time.
Sincerely yours, So-and-So, Chief of Naval Personnel." But they've got
it on file! And meanwhile we go on and use it."

I'd love to see an example of one of those form letters.

matter with great care, I have isolated the most successful response
to meeting any and all attacks on Scientology, its organizations and
Scientologists and as of this date this becomes policy. "ADVOCATE
TOTAL FREEDOM
"That is the policy -- advocate total freedom.

"This is also the basic purpose of Scientology and the basic purpose
of people, so it all agrees well.

"So never advertise an attack. Just advocate more strongly "Total
Freedom!" and show how Scientology can attain it for the individual.
Careful summary of our past actions in the face of attacks and an
analysis of various changes in human history show that the best and
only effective thing we did or anyone ever did was advocate freedom.
The precise practice of Scientology obtains total freedom so never
advertise anything else but total freedom and the Scientology
services
and steps that bring it about. Courses, processing are the gradient
scale to total freedom.
"That's the answer no nation or person can stand up to-if we keep
saying it long and loud. SCIENTOLOGY IS THE ROAD TO TOTAL FREEDOM.
Used in argument one can invent reasons to baffle the attacking

15 February 1966

by Chris Owen
What is the overall goal of Scientology? To "clear the planet", right?
Wrong; for it turns out that L. Ron Hubbard secretly abandoned this
goal in 1969, in a secret minute which he sent to his wife Mary Sue,
Controller of the Guardian's Office (GO). The document in question was
one of the tens of thousands released by the US Government following
the criminal conviction of Mary Sue Hubbard and her GO colleagues in
1979.
We've all seen examples of how obsessively paranoid Hubbard was about
psychiatry, a trait very much institutionalised by Scientology. In
Ron's Journal '67 (RJ67), a tape which is still required listening for
Scientologists, he declares:
Our enemies are less than twelve men. They are members of the Bank of
England and other higher financial circles. They own and control
newspaper chains and they, oddly enough, [run?] all the mental health
groups in the world that had sprung up ...
Their apparent programme was to use mental health, which is to say
psychiatric electric shock and pre-frontal lobotomy, to remove from
their path any political dissenters ... These fellows have gotten nearly
every government in the world to owe them considerable quantities of
money through various chicaneries and they control, of course, income
tax, government finance -- [Harold] Wilson, for instance, the current
Premier of England, is totally involved with these fellows and talks
about nothing else actually. They organise these mental health groups
which sprung up simultaneously all over the world and anything that
has mental health in it -- in its name -- or mental hygiene or other
things of that character -- such names as that -- are part of the
organisation which stems from these from these less than a dozen
greedy men.
He had already tried to play an active part in bringing down
psychiatry. In 1966 he issued a confidential directive, "Project
Psychiatry" (SECED 61 WW of 22 February 1966), which is almost
certainly still in force -- as well as being a study item for GO
recruits, it is listed as one of the items on the President CSI Full
Hat Checksheet completed by Scientology President Heber Jentszch in
1988. Hubbard declares, without any noticeable sense of irony or, for
that matter, any awareness of grammar:
There is a conspiracy here we has [sic] gotten across the path of. Any
person in the world can be pronounced "insane", killed or assaulted
and made incompetent at the whim of any psychiatrist. Further they
pretend they can suspend civil rights! This is a violation of human
rights. And far too much power for one group composed of men who at
best act insanely when faced with any challenge.
(Replace "psychiatrist" with "Scientologist" here and this passage
takes on an interesting new meaning! It is also ironic, not to say
hypocritical, that in Introduction to Scientology Ethics, Hubbard
should write: "As the society runs, prospers and lives solely through
the efforts of social personalities, one must know them as they, not
the anti-social, are the worthwhile people. These are the people who
must have rights and freedom." Anyone who criticises Scientology is,
by definition, an "antisocial personality" and therefore logically
should not have rights and freedom.)
Hubbard demanded in "Project Psychiatry" that Scientologists and
Scientology-hired private investigators should find
Psychiatric bloodsports. Psychiatric Auschwitz all proven by
individual cases ...
We want at least one bad mark on every psychiatrist in England, a
murder, an assault, or a rape or more than one.
This is Project Psychiatry. We will remove them.
Unfortunately for Hubbard, the private investigator he hired leaked
his minute to The People newspaper, which duly denounced him ("One Man
Britain Can Do Without", The People, 20 Mar 1966). This deterred him
not a jot. By the end of the 1960s he was criss-crossing the
Mediterranean in a motley fleet of ships, getting into trouble with
governments across the region. His paranoia deepened dangerously. He
became convinced that the problems encountered by Scientology were the
product of a sinister international conspiracy, which he detailed in a
minute to Mary Sue Hubbard, "Concerning Intelligence" (10 March
1970):
... The exact type of attack pattern ... repeats itself in every country
and it led me to a conclusion that it was directed from some place
high up and that it had a central operational headquarters ...
Now, on studying this thing further, I find amazingly enough, that
there are definite connections with regard to the National Association
of Mental Health and the World Federation of Mental Health ...
Everything the enemy is doing would be embraced in what is modernly
considered to be a public relations company or activity ... [The]
"Tenyaka Memorial", that plan of campaign against Scientology, all
files, all correspondence, all training and everything else is
resident in a PR firm which has international connections ... this is
what is their control of international news media such as we have
discovered.
The scale of this supposed conspiracy eventually prompted Hubbard to
make a momentous decision: he would change entirely the stated goal of
Scientology and Dianetics since their establishment 20 years
previously. At the end of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental
Health, he urged: "For God's sake, get on and build a better bridge!".
Since then, the promotion and distribution of "The Bridge to Total
Freedom" was his top priority. But no longer.
Only a small number of Scientologists -- probably not more than a few
score members of the Guardian's Office -- saw Hubbard's minute of 2 Dec
1969 to Mary Sue, "Intelligence Actions -- Covert Intelligence -- Data
Collection". It was and presumably remains highly classified; for my
money, it is perhaps the most important single document to have been
released following the trial of the GO felons. The last page of the
document is headlined "The War". Underneath Hubbard declares:
Our war has been forced to become "To take over absolutely the field
of mental healing on this planet in all forms."
That was not the original purpose. The original purpose was to clear
Earth. The battles suffered developed the data that we had an enemy
who would have to be gotten out of the way and this meant that we were
at war ...
By showing him to be brutal, venal and plotting we get him discarded.
Our direct assault will come when they start to arrest his principals
and troops for crimes (already begun).
Our total victory will come when we run his organisations, perform his
functions and obtain his financing and appropriations.
Hubbard is here saying that Scientology's core goal is no longer the
spread of his "tech" but the complete destruction of all other mental
health practices. This was not idle talk, as the GO made strenuous
efforts to attack psychiatrists -- an effort which is still going on,
in the shape of Scientology's continued denunciations of psychiatrists
and psychiatric drugs such as Prozac. There is certainly little doubt
that Scientology's current leaders share Hubbard's objective of the
eradication (extermination?) of psychiatry. David Miscavige has been
reported to have pledged that psychiatry will have been eliminated by
the year 2000. No doubt this promise will quietly be dropped when the
millenium comes around and psychiatry continues in rude good health.
This statement by Hubbard is, of course, not one which has ever been
publicised. It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the many thousands
of people who joined Scientology while this policy was in force -- it
may still be -- were, in a sense, parting with their money under false
pretences. Scientology makes much of the need to "get tech in" and
"clear the planet", objectives which (in non-Scientology-speak) most
other religions share. One wonders what the reaction of ordinary
Scientologists would have been if they had learned that their leader
had secretly committed them to an entirely different goal.
This secret policy change also has a major impact on an argument
ongoing elsewhere on a.r.s. Roland Rashleigh-Barry suggested last week
that Scientology might at some point opt for a mass suicide. In the
light of its war against psychiatry, this seems distinctly unlikely.
It is made all the more so by the fact that Hubbard's anti-psychiatry
complex worsened still further in the years before his death. In the
1950s and 1960s, he frequently claimed that psychiatry was a perverted
Russo-German doctrine, which he contrasted with Scientology as "the
only Anglo-Saxon science of the mind" (there was a strong
nationalistic tinge to it in the early days).
By the mid-1970s he had become firmly convinced that psychiatry was
more than just an Earthly problem. He had already alluded to the role
of psychiatrists in Xenu's genocide in 1968's OT 3 and his 1977 script
"Revolt in the Stars" (based on OT 3). While in hiding in Washington,
D.C. around 1975, he began secretly to research what he believed was
the underlying secret of the universe: a cosmic war between the
"Soldiers of Light" and the "Soldiers of Darkness". He characterised
people as being either "players", "pieces" or "broken pieces". Only a
small number are the players, these being the Soldiers of Light and
Darkness, manipulating the rest to achieve their ends.
The Soldiers of Darkness have appeared in various forms through the
"trillenia", generally as priests or psychiatrists. According to
Hubbard, they return life after life to sabotage the work of the
Soldiers of Light and torment the degraded beings, the PTSes and the
"robots" (ordinary people, whom he regarded as being incapable of
decision). Most of the bulletins in which Hubbard outlines these
theories are reportedly highly classified and have never received
broad distribution, but I recall having seen one -- HCO Bulletin of 26
August 1982, "Pain and Sex" -- in one of the red Tech Volumes. It is
extraordinary even by Hubbard's standards -- he claims that both pain
and sex were invented long ago by cosmic psychiatrists to torment
people. (Presumably this was written during one of Hubbard's periods
of impotence).
I think you can guess who the Soldiers of Light are supposed to be!
It's highly likely that Hubbard has left his successors a number of
documents detailing the cosmic psychiatric conspiracy which has
caused, as he put it, "the ruin of this sector of the universe". I
can't see any chance of Scientology deciding to physically eliminate
itself before it manages to take out psychiatry -- which, at the
current rate, is going to take a very long time indeed. Psychiatry,
remember, is no longer just an Earthly but a universal problem; there
is no escape to a psych-free place. In fact, as Scientology is
(according to Hubbard) the first and only technology of its kind
anywhere in the universe, Earth is the first and currently the only
place where psychiatry can be beaten. Until it is, there could be no
mass suicide or departure for a better place. There is no better
place.
In short, Hubbard's own manic paranoia has trapped Scientology into
trying to achieve a fundamentally impossible goal: I would willingly
bet that there will be psychiatrists for far longer than there will be
Scientologists, and who knows? I might even collect my bet before I
die of old age...

PSYCHIATRY: GLOBAL OBLITERATION
By way of a recap, the campaign was expressly, maybe even
"diabolically," engineered to ignite both government action and media
blizzard. It's also got an internal kicker: our Mental Health Budget
Adjustment Kit, which essentially works like a "smart bomb" in that it
"sniffs" out psych fuel lines and blows the funding mechanism. And in
that way--to put it bluntly--we booby-trap the whole psychiatric
ecosystem.
So, while only nine weeks have passed since global activation, here's
the preliminary action report: The Citizens Commission on Human Rights
International, CCHR Central, has a tracking board designed to measure
collateral damage from our campaign roll-out. It monitors both
incoming complaints of psych abuse and outgoing "psych alerts" to
state and federal prosecutors.
And while it's sometimes tricky to determine just whose "bomb" hit the
ammo dump, this much is blazingly clear: while it takes a psych eight
years to earn his license, we've already yanked 21 in the last four
weeks.
Then there's all our campaign represents as a high-pressure system for
an anti-psych climate, of which the best barometer is the anti-psych
media index. And while CCHR trackers describe the recent weeks as
"highest ever," the psychs themselves have a somewhat more descriptive
name for it: "Apocalypse now!"
And here's the satellite view: the first of four plagues to visit
psychiatrists in the wake of our campaign was a veritable storm of
British press--more than 800 column inches mushrooming up from our
launch site in England. Then came the 2,600 newspaper, magazine and e-
news articles like a cloud of locusts from elsewhere around the world,
followed by a third swarm of news clips, documentaries and televised
forums.
Then, just when psychs thought the seas had parted and they could
safely enjoy this holiday season, it all rained down. Because what
with CCHR-inspired hearings on the menace of new generation psych
drugs, the age-old secrets of how psychs cut deals with the FDA have
finally come to light.
And since the FDA can't get "the toothpaste back in the tube," they
just agreed to smear new black box warnings all over the anti-
depressant line-up. Which in turn fueled an anti-psych media fest like
something out of Revelations and it looks like this: The Washington
Post, The Washington Times, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune,
The International Herald Tribune, USA Today, Associated Press and all
over network news. Until, as of tonight... well, let me put it like
this: At our IAS Anniversary celebration, I told you psychs were about
to believe in the Divine Wrath of God. And, sure enough, they now know
that wrath is swift and certain.
Because in just the last eight weeks came 37,824 column inches of anti-
psych press to "mess them up but good"--and that's our 2006 campaign
for the Global Obliteration of Psychiatry.
