The Dane Tops Debrief

ILLEGAL DECLARES AND OTHER PERTINENT DATA

A recent ASHO ((American Saint Hill Organization)) posting announced there were over 600 declares in the past recent months.Many of these were declared BEFORE Comm Ev. Some were declared for opposing management opinion about how things should be done. Others for unproven or unidentified points. Most list completely generalized charges with no specific account of what the person did. It has even gone so far as to list sexual behavior such as "adultery" as part of the reason this person is now considered to be a suppressive person, deserving of being expelled from the Church.

Over 50 field auditors, CSes and whole field groups in LA have terminated their practice in the last six months because their delivery lines were shut down by the new UNWRITTEN POLICIES and by policies WRITTEN BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN RON. Specifically, in one week, all field ethics delivery and admin scale delivery was forbidden and still is all done verbally. Those who questioned it were placed under immediate ethics investigations so everyone else shut up. All Volunteer Minister actions have been verbally forbidden to the field and the policy that the field could set its own rates for those actions was verbally cancelled. Any credit or barter (formerly OK for V.M. ((Volunteer Minister auditing)) and Book 1) was also forbidden. Plus Book 1 auditing was now supposed to be sold in intensives. In addition, the field auditors (like the missions: see Mission Holders Conference San Francisco, late 82) were fined 10,000 dollars for every PC they had done actions on after the person had reached clear. The field (like the mission holders) were told if they'd done this they were criminals and were guilty of the crime of having ripped off the orgs of their rightful public. As none of this was clearly written, communicated or defined prior, most missions and field auditors had inadvertently become criminals. Prosecution was threatened for anyone who didn't pay up. Frightened, auditors and missions called their people and dropped them in the middle of admin scales, repairs, ethics, grades, etc. Thus thousands of public ARCXs occurred on losing their terminals. So the field went into the woodwork and the missions went frantic trying to dig up funds already dispersed for services already delivered. The field auditors were to be charged 10,000 dollars per clear, even if the amount accepted from a clear was only 10 dollars. (See Mission Holders Conference S.F. 7 Nov 82/SCED 2104) plus the missions were to pay for any SO missions ((an investigative team of SO members)) at the rate of 15,000 dollars per day if the SO deemed it necessary to investigate them--whether they were found guilty of anything or not. The small number of auditors left in the field were caused to turn away half of their clients and income. (see above).

Simultaneously, a 10% tax was demanded of their remaining income and thus field groups were driven out of activity. Several have just moved out of town. Some long-standing high volume producers have been declared suppressive without Comm Ev--one is Trey Lotz. Some have notified the Church they are leaving, but will continue to deliver standard Scn. tech (L. and T. Greenberg). Others, no longer being able to make a living delivering tech, changed professions and stayed in the Church.

A survey has turned up the overwhelming reality that missions and field auditors felt they had a choice of staying in the Church but having to give up their professional Scn. careers, or of leaving the Church so they could afford to deliver Scn., secure in knowing they could count on being able to continue to deliver it. In fact, they felt more secure facing a potential suit from the Church than they did in the Church--knowing their certs could be instantly suspended with no ethics protection of proper ON POLICY procedures. Now there is a pitifully small number of field auditors remaining and they've joined "I HELP".

It is not only the field that has been unmocked from these non-LRH policies and orders. Last year, hundreds of SO and non-SO personnel holding org posts in the PAC area alone were off loaded simultaneously with no provisions for qualified replacements. This included our most important tech posts such as the Class 8 courses and lower org internship sups ((supervisors)). All non-SO staff working for some pay were offloaded with no replacement provision. Now, one year later, key posts remain unmanned. Not only was the Class 8 Course sup offloaded with no replacement, even the Class 8 confidential course room became used for sessions and the students on the confidential course were ordered to study their confidential packs in the non-confidential course rooms. ARCXn complaining students were sent to ethics if they didn't go along with it. Naturally, some students blew. This is just one of the many unmocked areas that occurred in the spring and summer of 1982 during the wholesale offloading of staff. The Class 8 sup, by the way, was a good sup and offloaded only because she wasn't SO. As the non-SO staff were paid salaries, this offloading was supposed to be a cost cutter, so money was actually the whole issue in point, such an issue in fact that it took precedence over keeping the major courses of orgs intact at all. These days the SO (many SO were also offloaded) is hurting for staff and going into heavy-handed recruitments. They also have been forced to hire back some non-SO staff, particularly tech staff, as tech has been one of the more heavily comm-ev'd areas of the SO.

Over 10 missions and orgs have openly left Scientology because they could not afford to pay the fines levied on them in the San Francisco Mission Holders Conference of Nov. 7 1982. (You must read this to understand fully what has happened.) Other missions have left because they were unwilling to continue under a management that used threats and force to control them and which accused them of being criminals. Reading a copy of this meeting will make it plain why there is a large and growing exodus from the Church. The leaders and even the C/S Int have been influenced way from the very most fundamental concepts and principles of Scientology, influenced by someone into actually believing that force, threats, and punishment drive mechanisms will create a product. This non_Scientology technique has created a reaction of recoil away from the Church and that reaction is in proportion to the out-of ARC force that was used. Fortunately, you can get a copy of this meeting and verify the data here. The persons who delivered the meeting have an MU to such a degree about the workability of their methods that they are actually PROUD of the disgracing document and WANT it to be distributed and read. (If you absolutely can't locate a copy send me $5.00 and I will send one to you). To understand and have ARC for the out-of ARC force you will find it is necessary to USE your tech. This means recognizing that anyone seeking to control you unworkably has an MU on how to do it. This has happened in the current management. The MU added to a wrong data analysis and wrong why of what they consider the problems to be (criminality within Church etc.) explains why and how it is that they have acted in a manner to create the opposites of their intentions. Who had the MU in the first place is another question.

Twenty groups, including some entire missions and orgs that seceded are now delivering or preparing to deliver the entire bridge at reasonable prices, and more such groups are in the making. The tech delivery is by ex-org and SO Class 8s - 12s; the tech is standard. These people have concluded that the main Church is not salvageable and that Scientology will be salvaged by such groups. Their reality is that free enterprise must exist in order to get auditing delivered in volume, and that it is OK to charge what you want and need to survive and produce in volume, even if it is far lower than the Church rates. The dedication to LRH in these groups is high, just as high as it was when these persons worked in the AOs ((Advanced Orgs)) and at flag.

Illegal and unjust declares of upstat Scientologists have CRASHED their businesses when that business was Scientology run or Scientology supported. No thought is given such persons when the declare comes down. It is said by Finance Police that we must "safeguard the group first and pick up the individuals later". Is the Church going to repay the thousands of dollars of loss to those persons whose businesses suffered or crashed, due to illegal or unjust declares?

Persons who are Scientologists who are also professionals in an area which helps others are being attacked for "altered or squirrel tech". The view point is that Scientology is the ONLY knowledge that helps people, and other technologies which "pretend" to do so are suppressive or invalid. This is very erroneous as there are many people with technologies which are of proven help to others and the persons using them are kindred souls to ourselves. When such a person uses Scientology to improve his own tech, such as a priest using it in a sermon, a medic teaching and using it in emergency medicine, a chiropractor using it to give a better adjustment, ad infinitum this should be GOOD, not SQUIRREL. Scientology should be USED in all of life; there is no activity or profession that its principles could not be successfully interwoven into, thus improving it. An extremely destructive idea has crept into the Church in the last year. It is a new idea in Scientology, utterly foreign to all its 35 years.
