The Dane Tops Debrief

With only the use of "All ARCXs stem from MW/H's" and not all the tech on MW/H's and ARCXs, an untrained person would not, of course, be able to bring all persons in trouble to an as-is-ness. So even without doing a lot of auditing on the inactive Scientologist, these meetings were producing a phenomenon in the field--a few thousand members worldwide turned up in a few short weeks with many more on the way as the word got out. Also, the people threatening to splinter joined to help. Thus a great resurgence of hope that the Church would stay in one piece took place.

All this happened in the beginning of 1982. FACT: Up to this time there was only one major splinter group delivering the bridge including the OT levels--to the public. That group is run by Larry West, a class 8. It is located in San Diego. FACT: In March 1982, a series of declares started. First, each of the leaders running the rehabilitation meetings was declared--unless they stopped. Second, those people in management, including the ED Int. ((Executive Director, International)), who were in comm with the field, were declared. Third, the GO ((Guardian's Office)) was declared almost totally as a whole group. FACT: After this date and consistently over this past year, splinter groups have been forming practically by the week. They are delivering the OT levels and NOTS.

In short, the top management, the top field auditors, the top tech persons and the GO were all declared at one time, with one fell swoop. AND for the first time ever, many were ILLEGALLY DECLARED--i.e. no comm ev ((Committee of Evidence)), no proof, no verification and often completely surprising those declared because there was no prior notice or discussion. Others had comm evs AFTER being declared. When something was printed up about these declared persons it was done in such generalities that it wasn't possible to tell what these person were supposed to have done--no time, place, form, or event--no specifics. All the hundreds of people in the process of coming back on lines went back off lines. All the recently rehabbed class 8s and lower level auditors went back off lines. The attitude generally in this group was "I told you so..." They had been convinced it was going to work, just started to believe it, and then had the people helping them DECLARED. Not only did this affect these recently rehabbed persons, but it affected everyone because the declared people were the leaders of the orgs, the leaders of the tech, and the leaders of the field. Therefore, other splinter groups formed: formed by persons who had not previously even considered such an action. They decided to get away from the confusion so they could "AUDIT AND TRAIN IN PEACE."

It is time to define the difference between a splinter group and a squirrel group. Squirrelling means altering Scn (look it up in the dictionary). A squirrel group alters LRH tech and does not produce the products of the bridge. A splinter group is on source with LRH tech, admin and ethics and produces the same products as any "on source" Scn org. However, a splinter group operates outside the jurisdiction of the main organization because of disagreements they have tried to handle, but failed. It is time to understand the reality of the splinter group or their escalation will only continue. We can not handle what we do not understand--and the component parts of understanding are affinity, reality and communication. A survey of splinter groups turned up common reality such as:

Can't make a living with prices I was forced to charge;

Had to leave the Church to continue to audit full time;

I was spending all my time handling misuse of ethics and tech on others so I left so I could have clean products all the way through;

Why should I spend all my time making money when everyone here is willing to tech exchange the whole bridge;

Here I can audit and train full time and do the upper bridge too;

The persons I most admired were declared and my faith was shattered;

We tried everything we could to stay in; the first thing we audit on people is the loss they have and the charge they have about the craziness in the Church;

We have not been able to change the Church, but we sure can pump out those well done auditing hours.

There are now over 20 major splinter groups in the US and several dozen more forming. I do not have the stats outside this country. At least seven of these groups offer the full bridge and are run by highly trained class 8s through 12s. The prices for OT levels range from 1000 to 5000 dollars and NOTS prices vary. Also some accept barter and some accept payments while you are there doing the service. No one is making a lot of profit but the production is high. This progression of splinter groups started right after the first sweep of declares.

For a while, in 1982, there was no apparent management in Scn, because the past LEADERS were wiped out. There was a lot of confusion. However,--AND THIS IS ONE BIG POINT OF THIS DISSERTATION--the TRUTH is there was a management the whole time before, during, and after these events, and it was and still is ENTIRELY HIDDEN FROM US ALL. This hidden management had the power to declare hundreds of key posts and opinion leaders and got away with it. Then a new org board was formed. Previously uninvolved SO ((Sea Org)) members were chosen to occupy the posts of the new org boards. These persons were not previously involved with what happened before. They were not there to see the sequence of how the splinter groups were formed. Instead they were told that squirrel groups were a SOURCE of the chaos, not a RESULT of it. They were told the prior leaders and splinter groups were "stealing" from Scn, and were the source of the problem. Criminality was the "WHY" and the "handle" was to prosecute in the US courts of law. There are many other false concepts that have been given to the RTC ((Religious Technology Center)) and FP ((Finance Police)). The MUs ((Mis-Understood words)) and false data and complete lack of prior situation that led to this mess are not known by these new org board people. Their power comes from the fact that they are truly dedicated, caring Scientologists. The misuse of power comes from MUs that were put there by someone who hatted THAT person. The same WHO who authorized getting rid of everyone who used to run things. The same WHO that sets the policies of the RTC and gives it its power. Thus an enormous worldwide ridge has developed between the so-called management and management oriented persons and the "field" (meaning everyone else).

Each "thinks" the other is causing it. Each cares desperately. And they are DESTROYING each other. The best tech terminals we had are now "criminals"; our most inspiring leaders are "outcasts". Everyone is losing, even though there are many who avoided all this and continue to win. But the 3rd Dynamic is in civil war. As in all wars there is a THIRD PARTY. Perhaps it is someone close to Ron who causes wrong decisions. Or perhaps Ron is completely uninvolved and there is a hidden control group. But there is one. There is a hidden data line and it is no anyone we are looking at. Perhaps different persons have occupied this hidden "post" over the years. But the "post" has been filled. We are so locked into putting the blame on the wrong terminals, that we find it hard to realize we have judged each other wrongly. We have all done it (with a few exceptions) and we have all hurt each other badly. Some say it is irreparable this time. I say there is a WHY. ALSO A WHO.
