The Dane Tops Debrief

Those who were around, remember the once crowded course rooms of the LA orgs, the BC on Temple St., and the Class 8 Course with Sylvester running it. In 1970 the LA org was so full that they burst their seams, having to be packed back to back in the CS room and Qual ((Qualifications Division)). The amount of course room space the LA org uses in its complex headquarters is actually less footage than it was in the old LA org and the student flow by comparison is a mere dribble. The bridge cost about $5000 back then.

It is interesting that "Financial Overts" is one of the big whys being given us for all the declares. The original financial overt was to raise the prices, and cause ((create)) inactive Scientologists, and turn off the public. The "crimes" that person have committed to try to get their own bridges or continue to deliver it to others may or may not have actually been harmful, depending on the individual circumstances in each case. But one thing is obvious: such "crimes" occurred in an attempt to handle pricing policy that not-ised the natural economic laws for maintaining solvency.

And try as we did, not a one of us ever was able to find out WHAT PERSON made the decisions on pricing; there was never a Who. Although widespread disagreement with pricing has existed a long time, the demand for money has especially stepped up in the last year ever since the release of the Financial Irregularities PL.

In one of the former 3rd dynamic engrams of our Church, HCO sec checks and enforced disconnections brought outrage to Scientologists. It was not nearly as severely enforced as today and sec checks were not charged for, but there was still huge outrage and protest. In 1968 the Church was reformed and it promised through Ron that these two actions would NEVER be done again by the Church. Even Weber, today's President of the Church, went on the public media to state this promise. Today the Church is breaking Ron's promise to us. And charging you for it to boot.

Furthermore, if a sec check is to be done, it is supposed to be done in the HGC (Hubbard Guidance Center, where auditing takes place)), not the HCO ((Hubbard Communications Office, Div 1)). And it is Tech ((Technical Division 4)) and Qual ((Qualifications Divsion, Certs and Awards, Division 5)) that decide on the advisability of sec checks after case folder study--HCO is not qualified to make that decision. See HCOB 30 Nov 78, No. 22. Today, tech and qual are not even consulted and sec checks are automatic for whole groups of people. Persons are being ordered to have them for voicing disagreements and no one has even looked at the fellow's folder. Standard tech is being driven out of tech and qual and arbitrary decisions are taking precedence over the C/Ses in the orgs.

Unfortunately, I cannot mail this to all the key SO and org staff members as it would not be delivered to them by the Comm Dept. The staff is well shielded from the facts and are well insulated by false pictures of what's happening in Scientology. Because of that well ingrained false picture, ridges develop. Only continued comm can dispel those ridges. They are not there because someone doesn't care, but because of mis-information. Therefore it must be up to each of us to communicate, to find out the truth and exchange data any way we can. It is up to us to refuse to cut our comm lines with one another and to find out ourselves if what we've heard and been told about others is true. The idea that it is dangerous to communicate because out tech may occur has become so prevalent that Scientologists are actually VOLUNTEERING to cut comm lines so this won't happen. This fear became so instilled in the Matlocks that they shut down the Who What Where, the survival comm line and connection line of LA, providing theta connection and exchange between Scientologists, and better survival for us all. This way of thinking is utterly un-Scientology, but because it is being done in the name of saving Scientology, people are convinced, and are agreeing to cut comm lines and communication lines so that bad things don't have a line to flow on. Scientology--its very ESSENCE, its most BASIC FUNDAMENTALS, its very REASON for working, is being tampered with here. A monumental misunderstood is being transferred to Scientologists and it is so large it has overwhelmed the connection to Ron.

RON would NEVER NEVER give LESS communication and NO communication as solutions for the problems we are handling. RON would tell you to INCREASE communication and INCREASE ARC. RON would NEVER tell us to handle entheta by STOPPING our theta activities. He would say to INCREASE the theta activities and put your attention on creating that which you wish to be there.

I have deliberated a long time before deciding to include the following information but have decided that only by truth is there a chance. You can verify this story if you take the time to do so. Twenty-two year old David Miscavige is the VISIBLE head of the Church at this time. There is also Pat and Ann Broker who are never mentioned and are more hidden. Others who APPEAR to be running the Church are also EXTREMELY young and often not trained in red on white ((Tech bulletins, policy was green on white)). Yet these people are making the decisions about the technical expertise of long standing tech terminals, with decades of stats behind them showing their worth. The same goes for the top admin figures, i.e. the youngsters are the apparent ones with the authority to have the admin and tech persons of long standing declared.

David is likely to be comm ev'd as the obvious scapegoat. ((As of 10/15/93 David is still going strong.)) However, simply removing the youngsters would not give us necessarily the SOURCE of their actions against the leaders of Scientology, as they could just be replaced by whoever it is who is giving them their orders. These youngsters have been convinced their actions are "saving" Scientology.

Before the RTC was formed, David Miscavige had a mysterious authority over the CMO ((Commodore's Messengers Org)), the Watchdog Committee, Flag and all other orgs. He had no known post on the org board and there was no command channel line. David implemented the joint "Comm Ev" of David Mayo, Gleeson, Horwitz (father of Ron's grandchild), Peter Warren (Diana's right hand man before she left the SO and stopped appearing at events), Buchanan etc.--the 16 top execs and tech terminals. See RTC Conditions order I. 9 Oct. 82. This coup was accomplished by removing these persons from the Flag Land Base to the secret headquarters in Gilman Hot Springs, Riverside County, CA. These execs, David Mayo included, were locked up and held under physical restraint from leaving. They were awoken in the middle of the night and interrogated many times. Brainwashing techniques of getting each to confess to the crimes of the other were employed until there was little drive left to go back and take up their posts. After months of being held, these persons are now in various places around the country, destimulating. This is not the only incident of its kind. Ron predicts this would be done in Scientology in PDC no. 20.

The Church has already started legal proceedings against Don Will, the CO ((Commanding Officer) of one of the seceding orgs. It is the contention of the splinter groups that the C of S cannot win rights to a monopoly over a religious practice due to the US Constitution guarantee of religious freedom. Whether the C of S "wins" over its dissatisfied ex-members or not, we will all lose. We will lose because no one here is contesting the validity of STANDARD TECH or of the bridge; only the rights and freedoms of those delivering it. ((???I don't follow this last sentence.)) In other words the argument is not over alteration of LRH tech, but over NON-LRH written orders, policies, procedure and controls. Thus we have groups of dedicated Scientologists who will be going to court against one another over who has the right to promote and deliver standard tech. Also, even if the C of S wins, it will only cause more splinter groups who will simply avoid the trademark usage. As the splinter groups will force the C of S into higher and higher courts on the grounds that an American may freely practice his own religion, the case could conceivably go to the highest court of the land. There, the issue would be forced--does religious freedom exist or, when religion is highly priced, can a monopoly exist? Just suppose, due to the tenor of the times (Reagan Fundamentalist Christianity), the highly unlikely ruling occurred that limited the US constitutional rights of complete religious freedom to all Americans through some technicality such as a "trademark" or other? Our Church as a whole would then have "succeeded" in establishing a constitutional compromise that would end religious freedom in our country! When we have failed to use our own technology of communication and duplication to such a degree that we have to publicly air our difficulties in the courts we have failed indeed. When trained Scientologists do not use the tech of as-is-ness with one another, how can we possibly expect to use it on the psychotics and true SP's of the world or even on the average Joe with his widely diverging realities and practices? We will never clear the planet when we cannot even settle things amongst ourselves without the use of an non-Scientologist arbitrator and enforcer. As such an action further discredits us in the eyes of the public, it makes laughable our claims to possession of the full communication tech as the 'universal solvent'. The differences of realities amongst most of us are barely different at all compared to what's out there in the world, yet we have not been able to duplicate one another. Duplication produces an AS-IS-NESS of the problem. Non-duplication produces persistence and worsening. It takes time and willingness to trace a fellow's opinions back down to source. We are not doing that for each other.
