THANKS to the folks who not only made JB’s and my work easier over the past two weeks, but who taught us lessons along the way.

THANKS to Mosey for chasing off DM’s vampire gnats from the home front all on your sweet lonesome and for keeping me centered and introducing me to the original Morpheus.

THANKS  to the Cowboy Poet and the Navajo Code Talker (and their wonderful spouses) for great hospitality and some Wild, Wild West tailshaking services.

THANKS to Claire and Marc and K1 and K2 for making your home our home, reminding us that it is all about family, friends and the mortar that holds them together, making life fun and indestructible (love/ARC). And THANKS also to Marc for reminding me not to take things too seriously.

THANKS to Jason and Angie and B1 and B2 for the respite on your ranch that teems with life and for reminding us that theta in its many forms and personalities is the universal healer.

THANKS to Tiziano and Jamie  for reminding us of the power of insouciance and the spirit of play.

Thanks to Mary Jo and Kathy B for making it through the Third Wall of Fire despite the C of M’s best efforts to prevent it, and for sharing so that we all might follow your leads.

THANKS to Gregory and Joanna for sharing your irrespressible, shining own selves.

Collectively, you all instilled a great deal of confidence that everything is going to come out all right in the end. That is because you demonstrated how much stronger, faster and higher toned our horizontal lines of affinity, reality and communication are in comparison to the enforced, entheta vertical lines of the monster that seeks to destroy us.  It became very evident that no matter what the force encountered, we cannot be stopped.

This is to all ya’ll:

The Citadel

Posted on June 6, 2010 by | 279 comments

DM has been attempting to export his “hole” to the outside world. He did it last year by sending nine “execs” to Clearwarter to scream into the faces of St Pete Times reporters. This year he exported the dog and pony show to NY and Atlanta to subject Anderson Cooper and the exec structure of CNN to it.  He sent virtual Hole squads to the streets of Clearwater Florida, Port Aransas and Ingleside Texas and to the Corpus Christi Airport.  We decided to reverse the flow and inject some theta into DM’s hole.  

JB and I went to the Int HQ base Saturday to collect JB’s passport and to penetrate the walls of the citadel with some ideas.  When we arrived we were hollered at by Security and a hired gun to leave the property.  Security called 911 with great fanfare, a DMesque show of force.  Shortly after our arrival  DM’s personal Steward, DM’s personal Chef, and DM’s personal driver were seen scampering from the Star of California ship to behind the eight foot wall that surrounds DM’s villa compound within the larger compound. DM was quite apparently hunkered in the bunker. For the next hour, DM proved  his recent propaganda videos to be accurate – not a single soul could be seen across the hundreds of acres of  neatly manicured “worker’s paradise.”

 I tried to reach DM through phoning his Assistant Lou’s cell phone, but apparently she was instructed by DM not to answer the phone while she was huddled around him with the rest of his personal staff in his walled Villa.

We also called the cell phone of the guard who has been watching former CO Gold (Lisa Allen Shroer) for the two years since her blow.  I instructed the guard to hand the phone to Lisa and she complied.  I told Lisa that JB and I were at the gate ready to escort her out safely. Apparently two years of black dianetics sec checking, isolation, constant electronic and human surveillance had taken its toll and she not so politely declined.  At least she knows she’s got friends when she comes to again.

We asked the D/Sheriff who responded whether he could see about having  JB’s passport handed over.  He gave it a shot. We were informed by the d/sheriff that Warren McShane of RTC was in possession of it, but that he was in Los Angeles. We informed the Sheriff that we’d go to LA and seek out McShane. The Sheriff spoke to McShane on the phone and McShane informed the Sheriff that he was afraid of JB and me and wanted an address to mail the passport to. JB informed the Sheriff that JB’s address IS the Int base, and has been for twenty-seven years. When the Sheriff became exasperated with the c of m tactics, he explained that he could not compel them to comply without a court order and was doing all he could to persuade them to be sensible. We thanked him for his efforts and told him that he was being used in a one of DM’s childish hide and seek games, and we’d pursue other avenues.

While DM’s forces frantically attempt to locate and apply force to us, JB and I are quite effortlessly continuing to disseminate ideas of freedom behind the carefully and expensively contructed walls of force. Seeds are being systematically, yet seemingly randomly,  planted around the world, behind the walls.  Many will inevitably be smothered with RTC herbicide. But, many too will continue to thrive and come to fruition. None will fully die.

Our strategy comes from LRH words that have been posted on this blog before. But, as the old saying goes, the rudiments sometimes bear repetition:

From PDC 10: Specific Parts of Self-determinism, Spacation by L Ron Hubbard:

People recognize that, and although you will see a tremendous tendency on the part of the slave to assume his chains and wear them, and wear more chains if possible, you always have a greater number who in the end will turn on the master.

The masters of the slaves die. They have always died in this universe and they always will, and so may too a universe die.

But the point we are making is simply that force was never any weapon with which to combat reason. And every time force has been applied to reason in this universe force as come the cropper, not reason.

Sooner or later the reason would go around and through because there’s on…force, you see, can’t go through sixteen-foot bastions and barricades. You have this enormous citadel sitting on the high crown of an untouchable mount. And it is garrisoned and provisioned and watered to withstand the siege of centuries. And its garrison is well-trained and well-armed. Not a signle shaft or a bolt or a lightening flash could go through that citadel.

But by the water carrier or some other means an idea can go through the wall of any citadel. When you ask, “what is the strength of this citadel?” you always have to ask “what is the loyalty of this garrison?” That is the other factor, and force was never able to win against it. It could win temporarily, oh, yes, but never completely. Now in a reaction against force, people quite often will assume a no responsibility for the whole universe. That’s going downscale against force.

Want to point out to you that there’s an up scale from force. A high one, and that goes up toward the reasonable thing to do. And people very often, who are trying to go up scale toward the reasonable thing to do, will find themselves caught with specious reasoning and will find themselves dropping down toward the weak thing to do.

Reason which is afraid of force, and reason which exists to keep force from hurting one is not reason. That, too, is a form of slavery. But reason which exists to go up from the level of force must first be able to confront force. Only then can such reason take responsibility for those things which reason alone can produce.

And so you find a society, just before it goes out, taking its last effort to escape force by being reasonable, but that reasonability consists normally of an assumption of slavery of one form or another – not an assumption of freedom. They will lay upon themselves various restrictions and…out of fear.

Now that man who is able to take responsibility for force, yet who does not employ force, is much more terrible than man who can apply force alone. And the man who applies force alone is, of course, much more terrible to a lower scale on the chart than those who can only cluster together in terror and hope that the mass of their numbers will restrain the hand of force.

You want to remember then you’re looking at harmonics, when you’re looking at this on a tone scale. You’ll find groups which cohese solely because they are terrified of force which may be applied to them. And in that cohesion they simply seek protection of the individual by the group.

That group almost never advances. Now that group which can be free in each and every individual matter is yet the only group that can act and reason and with cause. For a group to be cause it must consist of individuals who themselves are cause.

Catch us if you can.

Black Dianetics at the top of the Bridge – more on IAS

Posted on June 2, 2010 by | 228 comments

If anyone has any doubt that DM has constructed a bridge to nowhere, he or she might want to spend a bit of time reading through the extensive trail of evidence Mary Jo Leavitt created which is lodged on the Scientology-cult.com website.  I believe that is far better evidence than myself, MIke RInder, Amy, Jeff, Steve, et al could ever provide.  That is because the insanity of the conduct at the top means a lot less if doesn’t transmit out to effect the product of the organization. Mary Jo’s evidence effectively documents those effects. The new “EP” of OT VIII is now in fact, “knowing and willing effect of, and complicity with,  David Miscavige and his anti-LRH and anti-Scientology campaigns and programs.” 

You think I am overstating it?  Read just two of the knowledge reports that Mary Jo wrote when DM and his minions attempted to turn her into the brave new definition of OT VIII.  I have included them below. Now, please realize that very few of the OT VIIIs handled it like Mary Jo Leavitt did.  With a handful of exceptions, the OT VIIIs walked lock step down the integrity-shedding lemming leap demanded by Miscavige. Thank God Mary Jo held her ground and made a record of it.  Any bridge that leads to a state of other-determinism, particularly suppressive other-determinism, is a bridge to a dark, ugly place. 

You want to know what a real OT VIII looks and acts like? Get to know Mary Jo Leavitt.

Things that shouldn’t be IAS interview/Reg cycle Ted Bragin, Marion Vugger

I was in an IAS reg cycle last Saturday the 17th of November with Ted Bragin from the WUS Office.

I had been told I needed to get an appointment for a briefing and I was hesitant as I do not have the funds to donate now and I am also very busy with my OTA hat as the OTA IC of Latam. Last year, in 2006 MV I donated 150K and in one month completed a Patron Meritorious cycle: I went from 15 K on the IAS to 250K in 12 months and it was a very BIG deal for me, I got into debt big time. I was thrilled and proud to do it but had to follow that up with a lot of production. I am a single woman and while I do own my business it is not one that makes so much profit to allow for such sizeable donations. I basically got a second mortgage on my house to do it.

After course on Tuesday the 13th, I was approached by Claire Taylor (FCS LA Fdn.) and was told I had to have an interview with the IAS, that all the OTs in the field had to be interviewed. There was no reference or no reason given to me. This is a generality and it is an arbitrary that “all OTs have to be interviewed”. I don’t think an enforced interview is OK, especially when I am active and have donated so much. But I reluctantly agreed.

Since Ted Bragin regged me before I agreed to get this briefing from him and asked him to please be brief as I had lots to do and did not want to sit there and tell someone how I did not have money. It is not OK to sit there and talk at length about debt, etc- it just brings one downtone and makes a postulate there.

I had set aside 1 hour for this and Ted was late (which was fine he was in another cycle) but when we started 20 minutes late I was anxious to get the cycle going. Ted made small talk, commenting about people who had made recent huge donations and told me I needed to be with that group of people, hang out with them. I said I had no time to hang out with new people, I was a bit puzzled at the comm. I asked him to please give me the briefing and he said it wasn’t a briefing, it was an interview, which he said was the new name for a reg cycle. I was BIs, I was told I was getting a briefing. It is not OK to lie about the purpose of a meeting, which was not what I agreed to do.

He then started to ask me about my finances and I said I did not want to discuss specifics or my debt, that I had expressed to him this. I did tell him I had no equity in the house. He became irate, that HE was the IAS and I had to disclose everything as I worked for the Church and per policy they needed to know. I asked him for a reference and he pulled out the Les Dane book and referred to the section on qualifying a prospect and said “This is LRH”. I protested this saying this was absolutely not LRH source and then asked him if then anything was mine, did I own anything? Did I have a say on my own finances and how I was going to handle them? It seemed so bizarre. Ted said I was now OT VIII and very self-determined but he “could show me what self-determinism was”. This was all done in a hostile tone. He went and got a staff member from the Flag office who is a trained Flag MAA and is on a mission here in LA, her name is Marion Vugger, and when I explained to her that I was not in agreement with the force of the cycle she told me I sounded disaffected! I am one of the most upstat and active OT Ambassadors and Scientologist on the planet, according to OT Operations Office Int who wrote this before my clearance for the ship to do OT VIII eligibility. Then Ted said, “you know I love you don’t you?” and when I said “no…” he said, “that is the first lie you say tonight, I would lie in front of you and give my life so that you and only you could go free” – it was all very melodramatic and introverting. What is one supposed to answer to that? Marion told me if I could not give money I needed to walk in and say to the IAS “what can I do for you”? I told her I was already very committed as an OTA and could not glibly say that as I would not be able to deliver. She did not answer that. I have to create income and am already very active helping the OTCs in Latam. Ted then said that we had to do it all. When I said I was already “doing it all” (I do not qual for the SO or staff and Ted knows this) he got angrier with me.

I was told I had to give “everything” to the IAS, that I work for the Church and that I had to be there on the same terms as the SO and that COB needed funds NOW. When I said I could not give what I didn’t have, that it would be out ethics, he got furious and said, “don’t you think LRH was out ethics when he almost broke his back researching the OT levels? He was out ethics on the first dynamic and on the second dynamic, he had a family, he was a husband, don’t you tell me you can’t be out ethics!”. He turned to Marion and she nodded in agreement! At that point I just remained quiet and decided I needed to not protest anymore to end the interview. I said I was working on creating more income; that I was with the program and understood what I was being told. At that point Ted told the MAA that I was more active than over 90 % of parishioners he knew and then told me I could leave. Marion left the room and Ted offered to walk me to my car. As we walked I chatted lightly and he asked me 3 times if I was OK. I was not showing any signs of not being OK, it was as if he was concerned that the cycle had been very rough and he wanted to be sure I was OK.

Ted looked very tired; I have never seen him this aggressive. I am not sure what references they are operating on but this type of treatment and comm. is unacceptable and the comment about LRH being out ethics and making it OK and even necessary to be out ethics to be an upstat IAS member, is completely unacceptable. I think this needs to be looked into.

This is true,

Dear Sir,

This report is written and routed as above because of the potential liabilities such activities can bring about if perpetrated upon terminals less understanding than myself, liabilities that can have severe repercussions on PR and possibly legal lines.

Background:

Recently, two SO members entered my property by jumping the gate of my house without permission. I wrote a KR on the SO members who were from the CLO WUS ‐ and sent it to RTC, copy to MAA CLO WUS and the parties involved; it turned out one of those men was the Dir I&R CLO (Lon Kloeffer). See attached.

Two weeks went by and I went back on course at my agreed‐upon time. On the way out of course, on a Wednesday (August 5, 2009) I was approached in the parking lot by the D/ED of LAD (Mark) and asked if I could go to an IAS interview for a few minutes. I said I did not have time (which was the case), and besides these interviews are never a few minutes. I also said that I did not have any money to donate and the interviews were reg cycles, so I was going to pass. Mark then said to me it was not an option, that it was mandatory. I looked at him surprised and said, “Mandatory? Q1 is self determinism and we have power of choice!” I also said he could tell the people who had sent him that I was not going to an IAS briefing and to take me off their lists (for potential reg cycles). And then I left.

That night I received a call from the CLO Dir I&R (that went to my answering machine) saying I needed to come in to see the CLO Dir I&R immediately. My daughter Joanna, who is also my Communicator, called as soon as she got the message. She was told there was a KR written on me that required me to show up within 24 hours, because I was being summoned by HCO; yet they would not give further information on what it was about. It being a workday the next day, and I was flat‐out with work, Joanna arranged for me to go on Saturday tentatively and got OK from the Dir I&R to postpone the meeting until then. Joanna told the Dir I&R (who refused to give his name) that she would talk with me the next day and see if it was possible to go any earlier in the week. This was agreed and fine. It was late at night and I had already retired.

The next morning, Joanna gave me the message and I called the Dir I&R first thing; I got an answering machine so I left a message saying I wanted a copy of the report so I could see it before it was time to go to the CLO on Saturday (which was the earliest possible time I could go in). I had no idea what that could be about, all I could think of was the comm cycle about the IAS interview that previous afternoon.

Then around noon (approximately 3 hours after I left my message) a man in an SO Officer uniform showed up at the gate of my home/office. He identified himself as the D/CO of the Ethics Org now established in the CLO. Instead of giving me a copy of the KR, he handed me an “HCO Ethics Summons” (attached). He said I had 24 hours to report to the CLO yet would not tell me what this was about, only that it was very serious. I told him I could only think of the IAS comment the day before and that this was a violation of ethics gradients (Ref: HCO PL 29 APR 65 Issue III Ethics Review). He said ethics gradients did not apply in this situation (per policy, however, they only do not apply when an SP act is committed but I didn’t say anything.) We spent 45 minutes talking. I had pressing work and calls that had to be delayed‐ this was right in the middle of my production. I agreed to go to the CLO on Saturday at 10AM.

Joanna then originated that the HCO Summons claimed there had been repeated attempts to get in communication with me, yet she as the Communicator had only received one communication, the phone call the night before, and she had been specifically in comm on the cycle. She called the Snr HAS to get clarification as to what was meant by “repeated attempts to get in communication with no avail” and after a few phone calls it was determined to be a mistake, the Snr. HAS said there had been a misduplication and the HCO Summons was supposed to be withdrawn from my ethics file as it actually did not apply per se, because I was “in comm” and showing up on Saturday. It was understood that the appointment “would not be long” and would be under an hour. Joanna had scheduled important appointments previously for that day, but we were fitting in this appointment with the CLO; Joanna made sure it was agreed with the Snr. MAA CLO and the Dir I&R CLO that it would not take long.

On Saturday, August 8, 2009, I had to wait half an hour before the Snr. HAS came out to meet me. I reiterated that I only had a couple of hours set aside for this (a long time with my schedule). She was not pleased I had a limited amount of time and went to check with someone to see if it was OK. Then 15 minutes later another Sea Org member who identified herself as an HCO terminal said she was giving me an interview and I should follow her. As we walked across the street towards the canteen I asked her what this was about and I saw in her hand my KR regarding the SO members jumping the gate, and I said, “Oh, it’s about that? I’ll be happy to pick up the cans to tell you what happened.”

And on the cans, I did. After she was satisfied about my recounting of the episode, and I FNed throughout (she never indicated it, though; I could see her making big circles on the worksheet) she then showed me the “Knowledge Report” written by the Dir I&R CLO which was contrary to my KR. Every paragraph in that report was an alteration of the facts. I told the lady giving the interview that this was the case and that I never got a copy of this report and wanted to have it (Ref: HCO PL 1 May 1965 Iss I Staff Member Reports) and she assured me I would. She did not give me a copy, and (over a month and a half later, on the 28th of September) I finally received a copy from the Chief MAA FSSO. (See attached, and the False Report Report regarding it.)

After that the questions turned to the subject of the IAS. What did I think of it, how are my finances, do I have off‐shore accounts, any illegal activity with my business, any missing licenses or permits, who are my friends, do I have a 2D, a husband, a boyfriend (she really pressed on this one), what do I do on my spare time, am I connected to disaffected people?

I am an OT VIII with an incredible ethics record as an examination of my file shows. And yet the assumption of the interviewer and these questions was that I was out‐ethics and even criminal. I had to prove the contrary through my answers and while holding the cans (illegal use of auditing, Ref: HCO PL 18 Oct 1967 Iss III Policy and HCOB Alterations High Crime.) She also asked about my children‐ my son Greg, does he write a lot of reports? My answer‐ yes, I taught my kids well, to write reports of any Out‐ KSW or out‐tech. Greg has had a lot of trouble at LAD just staying on his Academy levels when he is pressured to do “Basics lineup”. What about my daughter, Joanna? All my answers were satisfactory to this terminal. I was FNing and in comm.

I asked her why this whole cycle was so heavy‐handed and she said the “field of OTs is very disaffected and very disenchanted and there is an investigation going on. We have found a lot of enemy line regarding the Ideal Org program and the Dir I&R often has doors slammed in his face. He thought you were acting in a disaffected fashion so he thought you needed to come in” – words to that effect. What confirms this is that this “False Report” he wrote was not acted on until two weeks after my report was written and delivered. But really, the reason for his report and “Ethics Summons” was the IAS interview and the 10 million dollars quota of parishioner money the CLO had to collect from us NOW.

When we were done I was told by the Snr HAS CLO that I needed to watch the MV4 event, the IAS event and then stay for another interview. Because of the way this was communicated, I asked if this was mandatory? The Snr. HAS CLO responded, “Yes! Absolutely, you need to do this now.” I said I had two previous appointments I could not reschedule so I would return around 5 PM.

I then saw the MV event and then it was time for the “interview” – Teddy, Jon Lundeen and Snr MAA CLO.

I made it clear I was handling debts as I had donated to the IAS 250 thousand dollars in the course of a year and was still heavily in debt (in addition, over the years I had donated 105K to SuperPower and approximately 60K to the Ideal Org program, and 20K to other programs such as the Library Campaign and Basics campaign). I shared that my business had not done as well this year but I was going up the conditions and my application of ethics tech was working and going well. Then they started with the doom and gloom that times were so bad and things were so desperate, I needed to go ahead and “do or die in the attempt” and other quotes from KSW1 completely out of context. Despite a rising emotion from my interviewers, I remained calm and told them I was not going to go into further debt and that I was not turning over my credit card. Teddy screamed at me saying I had a closed mind and was not allowing him to do his job, that I had to tell him my personal finance data (and then he referred to the Les Dane “Sales Techniques” as his source for that) and kept invalidating me, cutting my comm., saying he did not like how I grimaced, etc. When I could say something he would write it down and often he would leave the room to talk to someone else about these notes he was taking.

Then Jon Lundeen, whom I know well and who even trained me on being a Registrar when I was in the Sea Org at Flag, told me the IAS cycle was so important he was spending 90% of his post time wearing that hat. And the Snr MAA said she, too, was doing that, that she was in charge of the entire PAC Base IAS quota. They said this with pride! That they are off‐post and off‐hat 90% of the time!

At one point Jon and I were alone and he told me a story about his daughter stealing things as a youth in the SO and that he got a knock on the door in the middle of the night, a dreaded moment, where he was told he had to leave the SO unless he handled his daughter. He told me he was not about to give up the SO and his life in it, so he borrowed 30K to send her off to Delphi in Oregon. (As an afterthought he said he didn’t remember if he ever paid that debt) and that his daughter was shortly after that expelled from Delphi for her “stealing” (i.e. kleptomania). Her mother, Edie Lundeen, (Class XII) (finally) gave her some auditing and it quickly resolved and now his daughter is posted at Int. But the point of his story was that, in his words, COB had gotten that “knock on the door in the middle of the night” and we all had to do the impossible to raise this money; that any bad consequence for incurring more debt was not important. It really sounded like the end of the world. Jon was very agitated.

Teddy said we needed to complete establishing an AO in Latam and I said that was years away as each org in Latam had to become Ideal and as far as I knew they were not even solvent. I was bewildered that they would say this was such an urgent cycle, and expressed that to them. Teddy would write all this down on a paper and would not answer my questions. He then became angry and went for the full‐out make‐wrong and invalidation technique I had previously experienced from him (see my KR of an IAS interview with Teddy in 2007). I remained calm during the whole interview. They, instead, turned quite upset and were often screaming and turning red. And as they saw that this did not have an effect on me, it became worse, i.e. intensifying their misemotional outbursts.

As I persisted on my position that I was not going to donate, Lundeen screamed at to me that I was an out‐ethics OT to have taken so long to pay off the IAS donation and that to doubt my ability to handle a large debt was a gross out ethics! He shouted that LRH had expected the impossible from him and I was very able and the same was expected of me. I then said I had arrived there earlier in the day with two hours for the interview, but ended up remaining there most of the day and night, and the cycle had been over 6 hours long and I was now leaving. As I stood up they all started to scream and at that point the Snr Dir I &R (Lon) walked in, crossed his arms and stated in a menacing tone, “You are not participating and what is going to happen is you need to get a roll back right now. You have been spouting enemy line all night”. I said, “Not participating? You mean I am not turning over my credit card? Absolutely not. And I already had a one‐hour interview where I came out clean and I am not doing another. It is 10 PM!” He said, “We will give you some vitamins to put down your throat, it will be fine”. At that point I said, “I am leaving” and the Snr. MAA blocked the door. I told her she could not do that and motioned her to move. At that point the auditor who had interviewed me knocked on the door and told me to go with her. Everyone in the room was screaming at the same time and I gladly walked out with her.

Once we were outside, the HCO auditor said she could overhear that things were getting intense and out of hand in there so thought she’d knock to get me out. I thanked her and told her I was not doing another interview, I was going home. She said we should at least walk a bit so I told her we could walk to where my car was parked. She asked me more questions about my debt and when I told her I was 300K in debt, she asked if that was the mortgage and I said no, that is separate from mortgage. She asked me why I didn’t tell them this and I said these were my personal finances and it was nobody’s business. She told me we needed to do this second interview anyway, she was holding a piece of paper that contained all the “enemy line” I had said, and I told her anything I said I meant, it came from me and was very straight forward. She said she could not do it during the week but next Saturday and she would call me to schedule me. I acknowledged her though I did not intend on picking up the cans again for this cycle.

She never called and then on September 15th, 5 weeks later, the Dir I&R CLO and Snr. HAS CLO came to my house while I was out. They told my son that I had blown an ethics interview and needed to go to the CLO. They left a hand written note for me to call the Snr. HAS as soon as I got the note. I called and got a voice mail. I left a message. I said, “This is Mary Jo Leavitt, I got your note. I am not going in for your ethics interview. Do what you have to do. Do not come to my house anymore.”

I have not heard since.

When in fact, “the power of choice is still senior to responsibility. What one does against his will operates as an overt act against oneself. But where one’s will to do has deteriorated to unwillingness to do anything, lack of will is itself an aberration… In the decline of any state into slavery, as in Greece, or into economic strangulation of the individual as in our modern western society, doingness is more and more enforced and willingness to do is less and less in evidence. At length, people are doing without being responsible.” –LRH.

This is the kind of behavior and actions that indeed breed disaffection, and result in bad PR for the Church of Scientology.

This is true,

Marie-Joe & Tony DePhillips with Marta

Tony and Marie-Joe DePhillips ARE two very dedicated Scientologists. I have included their declaration of Independence, and two write ups telling the story of each of them. I have also included two links at the end of the write ups.  I think this material should be read in full by anyone wanting to know how the church of Scientology currently treats quests for the truth even by some of its most steadfast supporters. Thank you Marie-Joe and Tony for holding your positions in space and for standing up and speaking out.

Declaration of Independence
Tony & Marie-Joe DePhillips
a.k.a. “Alex Metheny” & “Freetothink”

Preamble:

We have always loved the writings of L Ron Hubbard. One of my favorite LRH statements is from the lecture Differences Between Scientology & Other Philosophies: “ If it is true for you, it’s true. And if it’s not true for you, it still isn’t true. Not even if Ron told you is it true. It’s just not true, that’s all.“ ~ LRH

In addition to this as a foundation, the ARC triangle, the granting of beingness, the code of honor and not needing a license to survive, are just a few of the building blocks we’ve used to improve our lives. We have had many great wins in Scientology and know many well intentioned staff and public Scientologists.

How we got here:

Our personal story of shock, disbelief and declare will be added as an attachment for those who are interested. You will be able to see how we went from among the top opinion leaders and contributors in our area to SPs, in just a few months.

After reading The Truth Rundown and Geir Isene’s Doubt formula we were deeply troubled about what was going on in the church. These stories were believable to us because they aligned with many of our own observations and experiences. After trying to communicate about the things that were troubling us in the church, we started to get attacked as ourselves being the problem – for speaking out with any disagreement or questioning. It became very apparent that we did not have the right to say what we were observing in regards to our own church or its management. It also became very clear that we did not have the right to associate with people who the church had deemed were “BAD”. Evidently, we were supposed to give up the right to decide who we would or wouldn’t associate with. To us, these are fundamental rights of an American, fought and died for by many!

I have never been good at being bossed around. Some might think it’s a “button” (problem or character blemish) that I haven’t dealt with yet but, on the other hand, maybe it’s an ability that’s helped me retain my self-determinism and freedom of thought. We quickly realized that we had been PTS to the Church for many years, and applied handle or disconnect. When each attempt to handle was met with bigger and stronger messages to cease, desist, and “get handled” (including a Non-Enturbulation Order and ethics interviews), we decided to disconnect by officially resigning from the Church. Our resignation letter to the church pretty much sums it up:


IJC 13 January 2010
Flag AO MAA
Seattle Org Day and Fdn HCO
AOLA MAA
ASHO Day MAA
Tony and Marie-Joe DePhillips
This is a letter to let you know that we have decided to resign from the Church of Scientology.
We have given this decision a lot of thought.

We have both been in Scientology for over twenty years. We have contributed about xxxK to the Ideal Org and over xxK to the IAS. We have spent in the neighborhood of xxxK on services from the Church and donated a decent amount of time participating as volunteers.

We have had some great wins.

Over the last few years however we have noticed more and more things that we do not like about how the church operates. Heavy ethics, make wrong, heavy regging etc. We have made attempts at correcting these things with reports with no result.

We have seen and heard of too many abuses, human rights violations, misuse of resources [people, money,…], and worst of all, too many LRH policies being violated. We can’t, in good conscience, continue to participate and support the church as it is being managed at this time.

After making our own observations and hearing the stories of Marty Rathbun, Geir Isene, Mike Rinder, Amy Scobee, Jeff Hawkins, Mary-Jo Leavitt and many more Sea Org members, OT’s and highly trained auditors, we have made our decision.

We have always been told that these people on the internet were crazy SP’s. After hearing their stories we were not able to come to that conclusion. We were shocked to realize that many who had been painted to us as evil and suppressive were in fact whistleblowers trying to expose the abuses and violations.

We both have experienced excessive sec-checking and heavy ethics even when our contributions (money and time participating) were showing that we were stellar members of the public.

We love Scientology when it is applied with ARC and not with enforcement to get everyone to conform.

We came into Scientology to find our own self determinism and to have gains. Progressively over the years we feel that we have been forced overtly or covertly to “toe the line”, or follow “command intention”, without being able to use our own judgment or our own ethics. If you do not do what is “expected”, you are shunned/punished in various ways. When you assert your own independent thought and it doesn’t align with command intention you are quickly shown you are not a good group member.

In conclusion, we no longer feel confident in this Church’s ability to operate in a manner that we can be proud of and disseminate to others.

We hope that the Church of Scientology will get it’s ethics in and make the changes necessary for it to be a church we can once again be proud of.

Sincerely,

Tony DePhillips Marie-Joe DePhillips

We heard the church lie about its not having a policy of enforcing disconnection – We’d already received many reports of our friends being told not to talk to us.

As someone once said “If they lie about this, what else will they lie about?”

Our conlusions:

After exhaustive research and communicating, we decided that the abuses did occur and that they were and are extensive and widespread. We also saw that the church was actively involved in creating their own enemies and seemed to take very little responsibility in remedying their wrongs. Furthermore, we wondered what kind of a leader would allow these things to continue to go unhandled and in fact seemingly encourage such activity.

We got into Scientology to become more at cause in life and to do better in life based on our own realities. We still feel that this is what LRH intended. We didn’t, and still don’t, believe or agree with everything that LRH ever uttered. But as he himself said, we don’t have to.

We believe that the church is being run in a fashion that, to us, is destructive overall, as well as destructive to our personal goals of being at cause over our own lives. The Grade Chart states that on OT 7 you will be cause over life. That may be possible, but not if the church refuses to let you be at cause over your own church!!

Also, first and foremost to us is the abuse of the Sea Org members. This to us is obscene. These people dedicate their lives to Scientology only to be treated as sub-humans. And when fed up with that treatment and wanting to leave, they are treated in an abhorrent fashion. These people are some of our best and brightest. This cannot stand. What gives DM the right to run roughshod over these people? Who anointed him to be above the law? The out-points are too many to be listed here, we’re sure you all have examples of your own.

We believe that everyone who stands up and throws off their shackles will make it that much easier for others to do so. That has been true for us. The others coming out before us have made it more real for us to take our stand.

We could not live with the idea that we were too scared or bullied into having to hide our god given rights to be here and communicate. Especially when it is the right thing to do!

So we hereby declare ourselves Independent Scientologists.

Independent: One who is independent in thinking, action, etc.

That is how we see ourselves. We do enjoy the Scientology philosophy by LRH, when we are practicing it as independent people, not having it forced down our throats.

Final thoughts:

We also very much appreciate LRH’s views on infinity valued logic. The idea of two-valued logic such as right-wrong, good-bad is too simplistic. The idea that any man or woman is infallible or perfect is not realistic. All men and women have good and bad in them, it is just a matter of degree. And the fact that we feel Mankind is basically good means that there can be salvation for all and no person has a monopoly on that. DM is not totally bad or totally good just like the rest of us. He is not above the law or above the Scientology justice system. DM IS NOT SCIENTOLOGY. We believe that it is the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics that DM step down from his position as leader and that steps are taken to reform the church of Scientology so it reflects the values of this current culture and promotes ARC, tolerance and the values usually associated with spiritual goals. We have finally answered this question for ourselves: Does the end justify the means? For us the answer is NO!! Or another way of looking at it is: The means are the end. Scientology was supposed to give us a way of setting an example as good and honorable people. That is an end in itself. The way Scientology has been treating its own people is a disgrace and a degrade of Scientology, and has to be rejected.

Thanks for listening. Thank you all for what you are doing and will do in the future.

Much Love,

Tony DePhillips (Mid OTVII, Prov. Class IV Pre-GAT and Fully Hatted Ethics Officer)

Marie-Joe DePhillips (OT V,KTL/LOC, Level G SHSBC)

Church of Scientology’s Slippery Slope:
from Solo NOTs-IAS Patron-Ideal Org Humanitarians to Declared SPs

Tony’s Story: I got into Scientology in 1978, a confused Navy sailor. I joined staff in San Diego, married a Scientologist, subsequently divorced, and left staff in 1985 with a $12,000 debt to the church. I paid off that debt and moved up the Grade Chart through OT V in Los Angeles, just winning like mad through FPRD and PDC and right on up. I was a “Cadillac PC”.

And, all throughout, I was being a “good Scientologist”, deciding not to have children so I could get up the Bridge without distractions and living very modestly in order to pay for auditing. My wife, Marie-Joe, and I have spent hundreds of thousands on auditing. I spent close to $250k just on Solo NOTs, without completion.

I originally started Solo NOTs a couple of years prior to the “Golden Age of Tech”, costly even then in both dollars and time. From the time I arrived at Flag the customer service atmosphere was one of suspicion and distrust, right from the start. But, I let it go because I was at the Mecca of technical perfection and the “friendliest place on Earth” after all, so it must be “ok”.

After being on the level for about a year I was informed that I would have to retrain on everything at my expense. This was quite a shock. I’m not a wealthy man. It took me five years to regroup financially and get back onto the Solo NOTs level.

After seven intensives of sec checking prior to getting onto Solo NOTs the first time and another seven, plus the FPRD, the second time (plus the ever suspenseful wait for “eligibility”) I finally made it on again. Then 18 months into Solo NOTs round two, I was C/S’d for an advanced program of eight more intensives (five of which were sec checks).

Meanwhile, I wrote a KR on the Landlord Office regarding mismanagement of the local Ideal Org purchasing process, and in going over it with the local ED an argument ensued (I was going over my KR with him to ensure my facts were correct). He said “If you weren’t so critical and helped more we would be that much closer!” I had only donated about 30K at that point, so I guess I was down-stat. I retorted, “If I have to do whatever you want me to do to be your friend you can kiss my ass!!”

The local Org tried to issue a “non-enturbulation” order for that, but instead I got recalled to Flag at my own expense. I was upset, and when I got there I thought they would treat me as an OT and I would have a nice comm cycle and all would be good. It wasn’t. Silly me.

I was grilled for my crimes, on the meter, by the MAA. It was so frustrating I asked to get a sec check so at least I’d feel I was being heard. Those 25 hours of sec checking cost me about 14K and I felt like crap afterwards. I told Flag they could keep my Solo NOTs materials and left. To their credit, an auditing correction later handled the lingering upset.

I did a Liability formula for all of this and my wife and I donated another hefty chunk to the Ideal Org, bringing us to over $100,000 donated. My apologies, if this is boring – it certainly is therapeutic for me to write it.

Onto Solo NOTs again for the third time, after another grueling eligibility cycle (seven more intensives and the waiting “sweat out” period). The level was getting more and more solid for me. The gains I was getting on the solo auditing seemed to be negated by the sec checking and the feeling I was “bad” or a “slow case gain” or not “trusted’’.

I received PTS handlings when I didn’t feel PTS. I felt and said, “I don’t want to become what you want me to be. I want to be who I WANT TO BE!!” I have never been good at being bossed around. But it’s an ability that has helped me retain my self-determinism and freedom of thought.

I received ethics handlings on a report I wrote on DM speaking derogatorily about the U.S. President at an event, stating I thought his actions weren’t good PR for our Church or its leader. I caught flack for that! I guess they figured I had “crimes”.

This period seemed like a never ending blood bath of regging and stress. I had to live up to this state of OT being laid out for me. I had to be “helping” all the time, donating to this- that-and the other thing, buying books, going to every event…on and on and on. I started hating it. The IAS regges described the world as a nightmare, creating a very dangerous environment for all of us.

I know I’m describing what others have experienced and written. I am collaborating with you. I also witnessed it, lived it, experienced it. The more you do, the higher in the organization you get – even as public – the less respect and freedom there is if you don’t toe the line.

On my last visit to Flag, I decided if I didn’t finish it that trip, I would route off. I thought I could end off and remain friends. I figured that would be the worst case scenario. But I was nervous…why? Because of the previous heavy handed dealings I had. When, I found out that I wasn’t going to be allowed to attest, I just decided to turn in my materials, route off properly and go home in ARC with the group.

That was wishful thinking. It was off to Qual for a hefty attempt to convince me how abberated I was. Then ,to HCO where the MAA informed me that my auditor and Qual terminals were “enturbulated” by me. I said, ”They are enturbulated by me answering their questions??” Yes, that was indeed it, he confirmed, and threatened me with a Non-enturbulation order. I said, “You have to be joking!!” He wasn’t.

I wrote it up to RTC and no order was issued. But, needless to say, I wasn’t having much fun, or feelin’ the theta. The auditing was good but the other actions were painful. While I was trying to route off the Level I was informed by the Flag AO Tech Sec that if I left without my materials then all the people who’d worked with me there would be Comm Ev’d. I told her that wouldn’t be my overt but someone else’s. I held my position right up to leaving the Yachtsman motel to go to the airport. My Solo C/S, Mike, rolled up in a van with my Solo Nots D of P, Lill – Mike trying to persuade me to go home with my materials. I was in grief at this point. He told me he thought I was close to finishing the level and on hearing that, I decided to take the materials home.

Long story a little shorter (and this is abbreviated a lot!!) I sent my materials back a few months later after deciding that they couldn’t “handle” me, and that I wasn’t going to “go on hoping” while paying $7,500 per intensive for mostly sec checking and FPRD. This was the third & last time I took myself off Solo NOTs.

I continued doing volunteer work as Chaplain at the local Org, two nights a week, to good results. I let people talk and I called things as I saw them. Purely a help flow and NO REGGING…

Then, one weekend while scanning news articles, I ran across the St. Petersburg Times’ The Truth Rundown http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/
– I read it all and watched all the videos. I was shocked!! Could this be true?? Marie-Joe and I spent hours filling the vacuum, looking at different web sites and blogs to fill the void.

WE WERE SHOCKED!!

I realized that I had been tricked. I was reading about, by and large, people who had been screwed over by the Church and then became enemies to it. These were not crazy SPs. These were primarily former members, “enemies” largely created by the Church!

I realized all the sec checking I had been getting was to help the church find these “enemies”. It hadn’t been for my benefit!!

By the way, I have had some great wins getting off overts and withholds. I am not rallying against that. I just think that it can get out of hand and be out tech and done for political reasons instead of for the betterment of the individual.

I was paying the price all along the way, for the CofS creating its own enemies and being afraid of its own creations. This endless sec checking was being done from fear, not because we needed or wanted it. C/S series 73 points this out nicely. There is a write-up on this subject by a woman named Virginia, that I think is definitive and awesome! I had to give her props on that!! http://www.freezone.org/reports/virginia.htm

Realizing this, I thought I would be a good boy and report in to Flag about it. My former NOTs auditor said that I had a major out-ethics situation because I said that I believed the people in the Truth Rundown article. He had asked me a question and when I started to answer, he cut me off – to which I said “don’t ask me a question if you don’t want to hear my answer”. He replied, “I don’t want to hear that natter!!”

I realized then that I couldn’t talk to the group anymore.

PTS?

I have been told at various times that I was PTS, and it’s come up in my programming. I have had many handlings on this topic but none of the items have indicated until now.

I have been PTS to my own Church! And, looking for the suppressive person behind the group, it would have to be its leader, DM. I was shocked at the tales of DM abusing his fellow team members. What gives him the right?? Where is it in writing that DM is above the justice of the group, not to mention the law? What makes him the unchallenged leader of our group?

I was PTS to this group and this leader because I was becoming more and more afraid to communicate about my concerns to them without retribution. I was becoming more afraid to state the out-ethics behaviors, as LRH said is our duty. I had come to feel that if I spoke up and stated what I saw that I would be attacked unjustly. It is not safe to communicate what you want without some kind of retribution, whether it is sec checking for political purposes, invalidation and evaluation from other members, ethics actions, withholding your ability to move up the Bridge, etc.

I was embarrassed to disseminate to my associates because I was no longer proud of how the group operates. Marie-Joe and I have been told that if you don’t disseminate you are PTS. Well it’s true! We have been PTS to our own church!!

I have experienced injustice for speaking up and saying what I believe. I have read about the many injustices on the internet that have occurred to good Sea Org members and good group members who could have, and were, very valuable to the group. I cannot just sit back and say this has nothing to do with me. No more.

We are not going to be afraid of the Church anymore.

I have tried to get at cause over this situation from the inside by writing reports, to no avail. I have been made wrong for bringing up out-points and situations that I see.

More recently, I’ve heard that prior to our written resignation, while volunteering at the Org, there was an interrogatory being conducted about me. I was not informed at the time. The “out-ethics” not ever discussed with me.

Things started to escalade when one day the Fundraising I/C sent us an email to attend an Event. You will find the whole exchange in a link below. Some might find it interesting since it lead us to being Dead Filed.

A report on me for forwarding Mary Jo Levitt’s KR to one of my friends, in combination with the email exchange, did the trick – a few days later a non-enturbulation order was issued on me.

Never once did I receive one phone call or communication from the Org about the non-enturbulation order.

I have since received unofficial word that our SP Declare has been issued.

How have we gone from Solo NOTs, IAS Patrons, and Humanitarians of the Ideal Org, to declared SPs?

It is because the group has gone off course and is following the dictates of a suppressive. I have been the effect of this for too long. I am disconnecting from that suppression and using the only ethics gradient I have left to put ethics in on the group.

How sad.

Did LRH ever envision that his own organization would be hijacked in this way? Was this LRH’s plan? Marie-Joe and I don‘t think so.

Nevertheless, we’re here now in this situation.

We have resigned from the current Church of Scientology. We will no longer consider ourselves a part of that group until we feel it has been sufficiently reformed.

We admire LRH’s auditing tech and many of his philosophic writings and are taking this action in our best efforts to create a better group.

Our sincere admiration for all the people who have helped Scientology make the world a better place and for those who have the guts to say what they see, despite its unpopularity.

Much Love,

Tony & Marie-Joe DePhillips

Marie-Joe’s Story
& Encounter w/the MAAs

I got in Scientology in the late 80’s. I’ve had many life changing wins. Many tools I learned in Scientology are now part of me and I can’t ever imagine not using them.

I spent the last four years serving as I/C (in-charge) of the files project, among other things, at my local Org. I did nearly 2000 hrs on the files project alone, while spending a lot of my own money for supplies and food for the volunteers. Within just a few months I went from being one of the most up stat Scientologists in my area to a declared SP. My crimes were standing up for my rights and the rights of others, pointing out violations of LRH policies and disconnecting from a suppressive source that I could no longer handle.

I agree with and can corroborate everything in Tony’s story. I would like to add a few comments.

For years I was given the impression that something was wrong with my husband, that most people were flying on OT VII and that Tony was one of the rare ones that was having a hard time with it. Many times I questioned how the Tech was used to handle him, and I also questioned Tony. Although Flag was allowing him on OTVII they were also treating him like he had lots of crimes (extensive Sec-checking). Although Tony is no angel, he’s a wonderful husband, a very hard worker and an extremely honest man. I was not seeing any crimes, but I often got introverted into thinking he might have hidden crimes, because of all the extensive sec-checking he was given and the resulting BPC.

I felt so betrayed by the Church when I found out that many were struggling on the Level and that the extensive sec-checking was out tech. I sincerely apologize for having doubted my husband and ever considering that he might be the problem.

As Tony mentioned, we were shocked with the Truth Rundown article. For many years, I worked on different social reform programs; Say no to drugs, World Literacy Crusade, Youth for Human Rights. I successfully used many of these tools to help others, but found myself constantly having to defend Scientology’s bad reputation and explain how it was not a cult.

In the last several months, I started realizing how it is actually, from my perspective, a cult. And that I had, in fact, been PTS. My whole world had been centered around Scientology. When I became aware of the abuses and stopped rationalizing all the out-points I was seeing, my universe started reeling. I so much wanted to handle it from inside the church, with reports and references. But, I rapidly realized it would not be possible. Even after our resignation, I spent hours with MAAs trying to sort things out. Here’s a brief description of what happened, to give you an idea of what to expect.

I met with the MAAs three times, a few hours each time. During the first two meetings I had asked them for stats of established Ideal Orgs. They showed me some of the stats of the newly opened Org in Rome, which were good, but as I pointed out to them it was not an established Ideal Org – it had just opened a few months before. These up statistics could easily have been from people flocking from all over Europe to visit the new Org. They also showed me the CGI from CC Nashville that had been opened 10 months earlier. Not bad (average 15k/week), but certainly not enough to sustain 100 staff with viable wages.

After the first few meetings, where they seem to be interested in my concerns and showed a certain willingness to resolve the issues I was bringing up, things definitely changed at the final meeting.   It was made clear that they were not there to assert that everything is perfect in the Church, but that they have certainty that any out-points were being or will be address and resolved.  They said that the sequence of actions would be for me to do a “standard” doubt condition and once I decide which side I’m on we could proceed with further steps.  Although they were nice they made it clear, from the references they showed me, that I had committed a suppressive act by resigning (HCOPL 17 March 1965 Issue IV – Organizational Suppressive Acts) and unless I “come to my senses & recant” I would be treated as such. 

Which pretty much means that I will have no contact person in the Church and can’t do any services until I first “come to my senses & recant”, then do A – E.  It also meant that, although they said they do not “enforce” disconnection, any parishioners that want to stay in “good standing” and continue going up the Bridge would have to cut communication with me.  But, it’s their “choice”, the Church will not “force” them.   If they want to give up their Bridge or to be in communication with me it’s “their choice”. 

It’s insane!  Especially if I respect my friends’ choice to be part of the Church and don’t try to convince them otherwise.  I asked them how someone stops being part of the Church if they choose to play another game.  Their answer was showing me a reference like “you can’t be half-in or half-out”.  If you’re in we treat you like you’re in if you’re out we treat you like you’re out.  I said many people have left the Church a long time ago but are not subject to this because they did not resign.  They admitted that my way of doing it was more honest but came with consequences.  My response was that for years I defended the Church not being a cult, but now I’m confronted with the fact that it has lots of the characteristics of a cult, especially since you can’t leave it without being considered “evil” even if you have no other “crime” than leaving.  They had no comments. 

“If a person or a group that has committed a suppressive act comes to his, her or their senses and recants, his, her or their only terminal is the International Justice Chief,…”  HCOPL 23 Dec 1965RB Revised 8 Jan 1991 (!!!!!) Suppressive Acts Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists

I asked if a CSW to declare me SP had been sent.  They said no.  They pointed out that whether I get declared or not I have still committed a suppressive act, so the reference still applies to me.  They pointed out that the reference doesn’t say “if a person has received a declare ” but “if a person … has committed a suppressive act”.  The MAA’s explained that no matter whether I think it’s not suppressive to resign, or whether anyone else agrees, it is a suppressive act since the policy (Organizational Suppressive Acts) states that it is.

They offered me a chance to do a “standard” doubt formula.  They said that by exposing myself to the internet I had put myself in a very narrow world, created by SPs that are taking specific situations in Scientology and making them a generality, and that the church wanted to give me the opportunity to come back to reality and look at the true data. I felt like telling them that I was looking at reality but that they were in their cocoon of ignorance.  I didn’t because I didn’t want to start invalidating them.   They wanted me to read Marty, Mike and Amy’s declares.  They said that a lot of the out-points had been created by Marty, Mike and Amy, and that’s why they had been kicked out.  They said the group was doing a lot better since they had left.  I told them I didn’t need to see their declares, because whether they are SPs or not doesn’t change what I have experienced and observed.  I told them 4 – 6 months earlier I was looking, inspecting and researching, but since I’m not in doubt anymore applying the doubt formula didn’t seem right to me.   In addition, I told them that from the references they just showed me the doubt formula is set up for me to either stay in the Church and conform or basically be “evil” if I choose to leave.  I told them I felt it’s an unfair way to look at resolving a doubt. 

Although I haven’t seen it yet, I heard that there is an SP declare now out on us.

I appreciate all that came forward before me and hope many others will follow. I will continue to listen, encourage and defend any whistleblowers that come forward. I will create new friends and I will flourish and prosper.

Now, Free To Think more than ever, Marie-Joe DePhillips.

The Underground KSW Alliance

Posted on May 29, 2010 by | 187 comments

Despite my regular campaigning for people to stand up and be counted as Independents, I have to admit there is quite an undeground movement gaining momentum. If it weren’t for the energy contributions of one particular steller member of the underground I would have had to scale back operations drastically long ago. That person will remain unnamed at this time, but will never be forgotten.

I received some interesting comm from an Agent 99 (self styled handle) recently that is indicative of the theta undercurrents churning within the bot zones. It is similar to a number of comms I have received over the past several months. But this one also came with an insightful,  Data Series driven article from the spouse of 99. I think the package is worth sharing.

Hi Marty, Just wanted to let you know that the TA is certainly
moving. I’ve never commented on any of these sites, but I wanted to
tell you that recently there are 6 more of us (and many more I’m
sure) talking amongst ourselves about the major outpoints going on
with management. I know–obnosing and talking about it is forbidden
in our Church these last so many years. But amazingly, we’re slowly
becoming de-PTS enough from the group to actually reach out to one
another. And lo and behold…I’ve now seen people who would have
never in the past said anything bad about our Dear Leader DM (at
least not out loud) finally feel like speaking up and being frank.
And once the comm starts, one can spend hours downloading BPC from
years of pent up wrong indications, enforced realities, extortion
reg cycles and general WTF activities coming from above. And these
are public from Clear to the top of the bridge, from Cl IV to Cl
VIII auditors. All with similar experiences and concerns.
    So I thought I should let you know that there are more of us
reading than is probably evident. So please keep up the good work.
And please let Hadyn, Mike, Steve, Jeff and all your wonderful
bloggers know how much we enjoy reading everything. Turns out you
can’t keep truth a secret. Who knew?

Super Power vs. Super MEST

As a Data Series Evaluator I find a great many illogics to work
with in the recent Super Power promotion that arrived in my mailbox
the other day.

This specific promo piece brings to light a very critical set of
contrary facts.

On one hand, we have a planet in desperate and immediate need of
salvage and we have the LRH tech needed to fix it—Super Power. But
on the other hand, delivery of this LRH planetary solution has been
stopped for over 20 years in order reg donations for a very costly
building.

Here’s the key issue: are we really in the business of saving this
planet or not?

The promo piece I’m specifically looking at is actually a “Join the
Sea Org” recruitment promotion using Super Power as the handle. The
headline says “Super Power…It’s Closer Than Ever!” Considering
that the official delivery of Super Power has not occurred in over
20 years, anything less than 20 more years would be technically
closer than ever. (Outpoint=dropped time.)

This is the kind of vague carrot dangling in front of faithful
parishioners that keeps them on the treadmill of donations and
biannual sec checks. It keeps them tuned in to event after event
after event being pumped up with carefully engineered tidbits
designed to make what little impact the Church is actually having
seem momentous, gargantuan, stupendous and a whole thesaurus full
of enough adjectives to cause dopeoff in all but Chairman Dave and
the biographer. (Thank goodness there are a lot of standing
ovations— or much needed wake-up calls.)

Then comes the really damning part of this promo. There are
statistics quoted including “every 12 seconds another child takes
drugs for the first time” and “628,000 violent crimes occur every
year in our schools.” There are many more of these covering
military spending, psych drugs taken by children every 12 seconds,
illegal drugs, poverty, enslavement (irony noted), child
pornography, illiteracy and human trafficking.

The promo says that “Super Power is LRH’s solution to a sick, dying
and dead society,” “It will enable Scientologists to create a new
world.” It also says “Super Power is the solution to everything you
see affecting society right now.” OK, that’s the bait.

But here comes the switch. It goes on to say “But to release the
Super Power rundowns, the Flag Mecca must open.”

Really?

Says who? Certainly not LRH. Since when did LRH ever require a
multi-million dollar MEST building to release his tech? No, this is
Chairman Dave’s plan and decision pure and simple. (Outpoint =
wrong source).

To drive the point home further, the promo quotes LRH, “It’s time
to get very busy and clear this planet,” and, “Super Power…it
puts world clearing within reach.”

OK, so LRH has given us a gift that puts world Clearing within
reach and he says it’s time to get very busy doing just that. So,
why hasn’t this tech been released? SO members are working nearly
round the clock and have been for years. Aren’t they busy working
on Clearing the planet? Why haven’t SO members and org staffs been
given Super Power and why hasn’t it rolled out to a willing and
committed public?

It was David Miscavige who determined that LRH’s notion of
gradients was so last century and coined his off-source patter
about “straight up and vertical.”

So, where is the straight up and vertical when it comes to Super
Power delivery? (Or does that concept only apply to reg targets for
fundraising?)

When the majority of us came into Scientology there were no fancy
buildings but there was a lot of Theta. How come Super Power which
“will put Scientologists into a new realm of ability” is not being
delivered even if we have to audit people in bathrooms, empty hotel
rooms, rented halls or anywhere else? In over 20 years we could
have been delivering to thousands of org staff and gotten a lot of
public through the rundowns. (Outpoints = omitted delivery, added
time.)

The “Mecca” is apparently more important than putting world
Clearing within reach.

Remember the Expansion Formula where you remove barriers and
distractions? Well, this 20-year-plus “Mecca” is a big, expensive
distraction. It’s got statues, marble, NASA gear and, according to
Tommy Davis, “pinch me material.” (Outpoints = wrong target,
altered importance.)

Initial estimates of the building costs were $24 million, revised
later to $45 million and then up to $90 million. But the regging
continued and back in 2007 the total raised was estimated at $145
million! How much has been regged to add to that in the last three
years? Have we all gone mad?

If you want a reality check in terms of how off-purpose our Church
has gone, just do the math per the figures quoted in the promo.
While Dave was collecting millions from field Scientologists
(outpoint=wrong source) to build his Florida mini-Vatican (wrong
target) over the course of more than two decades (added time), the
numbers are staggering.

Really get this. Taking the promo at face value, in the last 20
years while our attention was diverted from Theta to MEST, 52
million more children took drugs for the first time, there were
over 12 million more violent crimes in schools and a whole lot more
that all adds up to the further decline of our planet. But these
aren’t just words and figures “that is to say” it’s real human
misery and degradation—nothing less. And all the while we’re
sitting on LRH’s solution!

And just how close to delivering Super Power is “closer than ever?”
The promo piece says that we need 700 more Sea Org members. You’d
need at minimum twice that number to net your 700 when you allow
for those who don’t make it or leave once they realize what they
really signed up for, and then there is the time required to fully
train this staff. We’ve had 20+ years, couldn’t a tech training
corps have been set up during that time? (Outpoints = omitted
delivery, added time.)

If you have in your hand planet-saving technology and you don’t get
it delivered as fast as you can, that’s simply an overt of
unparalleled magnitude. Some of the faithful who donated to Dave’s
“colossal and spectacular” (his words) “grand milestone without
equal” (his words) are dead now. Their milestone has become a
tombstone.

If withholding vital technology for over 20 years isn’t a stop on
planetary clearing, tell me what is.

What about Senior Policy that we always deliver what we promise?
Well, Chairman of the Board, you’ve been promising Super Power
since before a lot of current org staff were born. That’s one hell
of a commlag.

And what about point 5 of KSW: Applying the Technology?

When the senior terminal supposedly responsible for KSW is too busy
creating a publishing and real estate empire and crisscrossing the
globe making speech after speech to bother with actual delivery,
then he needs to be bypassed by those who will.

Some thoughts about Independents

Posted on May 17, 2010 by | 162 comments

by Shelly Corrias (Britt)

Marty,

As you know, I have been following your blog for a while now. And as you know, I do not consider myself a Scientologist, yet I have many dear friends who are. Some, sadly, are still “in”. Many others are now out and free to pursue their own freedom. Me? I am guilty of “cherry picking” what I find useful. After 23 years in the “church”, I am still figuring out my own spirituality. But make no mistake*, I firmly believe it is my right as a human being, even more, as a United States citizen, to pursue my own spiritual path so long as it does not harm others of good will. (*thanks Danny, you trained me well and I could not resist.)

Seriously though. Something struck me today regarding Independents. You all have amazing faith and courage.

When I left the Sea Org and the Int base after 18 some years, I thought I would pay off my freeloader bill and get back in good standing, progress up the Bridge and all that. After a few weeks outside, that changed. I knew I was done. I wanted nothing more to do with those people or the subject they represented. The subject itself was so twisted and perverted. Not to run my case on you, but I was declared “clear” in 1979. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I stated the clear cog and there was no way in hell I had seen any issues on what it was or anything like that. I said it and I remember it like yesterday. It wasn’t until five or six years later that I read the HCOB that gives the clear cog, at which point I went “wow, yep, I said that! No question about it!” Nonetheless, I was “undeclared” and I’ve now lost track of how many “DCSIs” and “CCRDs” I had going back and forth between clear and not clear, plus Dianetics and Objectives and Grades and two Purifs and a Running program and endless sec checks and FPRDs. The last action I had before I left was Grade 1!!! Huh? And people, I was Sea Org – I wasn’t being regged for any of this! So it’s not solely a money making scheme, although I do believe that’s an underlying motive for DM.

After twenty three years in Scientology I was basically at the same point I started, and had no use for Dianetics or any auditing of any sort. Especially FPRD and sec checks. PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying this to challenge anyone’s beliefs. I am just relaying what happened and how upside down the practice had become. I won’t even go into the downright cruel use of “study tech” that went on at the Int base, like being forced to M9 issues en masse and not leave the building to go to sleep until you “F/Ned”.

After I left, it still took me a year or so to be able to talk to close friends or family about what I had experienced at RTC and Gold. Even then it was slow going. More than three years later, I did my first interview with the LA Times, and shortly after, with Andrew Morton for his book on Tom Cruise. Looking back, that was so very mild compared to what is being revealed today. Like a bean bag shooter compared to an UZI? Nonetheless, it helped a few others feel a little safer about speaking up and so the story goes. Fast forward four years and we now not only have whistle-blowers all over the globe, more and more people have the courage to walk away and embrace the idea that “what is true for you is true for you”. Every day!

Which brings me to my point. Independents – I applaud your courage and faith. Each of you has mustered up an incredible measure of faith and cojones. (what a great combination – faith AND cojones.) For those who believe that LRH’s teachings contain the only route to spiritual freedom, you have declared your independence from those who claim to “control” your route to freedom, for lifetime after lifetime. To me, that is brave in the extreme. That was a roundabout way of explaining it, but I hope you get my point. We may not see eye to eye, but you got my respect!

That brings me to my second point. Who on the outside is knowledgeable in trademark and copyright law? Even though I was thoroughly indoctrinated in the concept throughout my 14 years in RTC and all my other years in the Sea Org, how can anyone “trademark” or “copyright” a belief or a procedure that involves two people talking to one another? I mean, is that even possible? I believe there is a major flaw in their entire corporate set up and legal “control” over the subject and its application. OK, so I don’t have the right to go reprint the Self Analysis book. But who can legally stop me from sitting down with someone, or myself, and asking those questions contained in the book? Or even the NOTs pack. If I somehow have access to it, who can stop me from sitting down with myself or others and discussing it (read: asking the questions and getting an answer)? “Trade secrets”? The very words suggest not a religion but a for-profit business. I suspect the whole setup is a house of cards that could fall at any moment.

I feel if this were explored, we may just break the dike for others who are too afraid to walk away. I don’t believe this can stand up in a court of law. But, I am not trained in that law and others are. I feel it’s worth exploring, especially if we could then do a white paper or some sort of printed handout, in addition to whatever is disseminated through the internet. I think it would encourage others to break free, knowing that their own spiritual freedom is not at risk by doing so.

Best, Shelly

Linda McCarthy – declaration of independence

Posted on May 12, 2010 by | 263 comments

 

Linda McCarthy. Talk about the power of truth. You gotta read the whole thing.

May 10, 2010
Doubt Formula:

1. Inform oneself honestly of the actual intentions and activities
of that group, project or org, brushing aside all bias and rumor.

The intentions and activities of the group of people that are
running the C of S are to follow the orders of a person who elected
himself to be the Chairman of the Board of the C of S – namely
David Miscavige. They, as a result have created a hierarchy that
dictates off Source activities (all inclusive of ethics, tech and
admin) and have thus have caused a contraction of Scientology.
While it is understood that the people under Miscavige didn’t start
out with this intention, nor with those activities, stats prove
that they are now fully engaged and are part and parcel to the
problem. At the top of this “management” is David Miscavige.

To wit:

High prices from Mission to CL V Org, to AOSHs, AOs, FSO and
Freewinds.
  -Introductory services are cheap (this is about the only service
that is affordable) After that, the prices for training and
auditing become exorbitant and out of reach for your average every
day citizen. If one does make it to the top of the Bridge, prices
at the FSO will bankrupt your non-wealthy public person. There are
a number of public who “sent their (OT VII) materials back” due to
not being able to afford the “6-month refresher”. I don’t have the
actual number, but do know of specifics. Point being, the masses
cannot afford Scientology at any echelon. The intention is to make
it difficult for the masses to acquire Scientology. Probably to
weed out the “less able” as defined by the arrogant upper crust.
The prices bar broad participation in Scientology.
Hammering the public for donations to IAS, ASI, Superpower
Building, Book Campaigns, and Ideal Org Buildings.
  -These 5 mentioned are the 5 off the top of my head. The IAS was
formed as the Church was in peril. That was apparently handled with
the IRS threat put to rest in 1993 (17 years ago). Hundreds of
millions of dollars have been raised, and more continues to be
regged on a daily basis to handle never-ending imminent disasters.
The disasters being communicated about actually create a dangerous
environment for Scientologists. Countless events are held at local
mission and org level (or at people’s houses or businesses) to
raise money needed to stomp out psychiatry, to save France, or to
save Germany, or, or, or.  Hundreds of millions. But psychiatry is
alive and well and has visibly accomplished many of their targets
(get your hands on the booklet Brainwashing and you’ll see). They
have effectively infiltrated the fabric of the U.S. A nearly
obscene amount of money has been raised to handle the anti-Scn
activities in Europe, but these still rage today. The PR of
Scientology in the U.S. is horrible, despite millions upon millions
being raised to improve public opinion and awareness through ad
campaigns and booklets: VM booklets, drug booklets TWTH, CCHR
booklets etc. A tremendous amount of money is extorted from public
Scientologists to fund tv commercials that somehow are never seen.
Ideal Org Building fundraising is at the forefront of the marching
orders to Cl V orgs. The finding and purchasing of Ideal Org
Buildings is the antithesis of LRH intention as fully summarily
covered in HCO PL 23 Sept 70 Quarters,Policy Regarding,Historical
(in OEC Vol VII). Despite this, orgs are being hammered to 1. find
a building (and it must be 40,000 square feet minimum to be
considered), and 2. fundraise so it can be purchased.. This calls
for c-o-n-t-i-n-u-a-l events so the millions can be raised. These
events MUST be held on a repeating basis. When public go to the
FSO, they earmark how much money they are going to donate while
they are there – because they are not going to make it out of there
without donating. I know of a lady kept up until 4 am until she
agreed to turn over 50,000 in donation to the IAS (and broke the
agreement with her husband to consult him before dishing out
money). She was distraught, as she is not a wealthy woman, is in
her late 50s and does not have any kind of nest egg. The 50,000 was
from a house sale that was for seeing her through OT VII. She was
at the FSO to “bring SOLO NOTS home, and she left without her
materials even though she passed all the requirements. She was, in
effect, shoved right off the bridge.  The intention is to distract
the orgs from delivery, to get every thin dime from the public, and
to use the acquisition of these buildings to prove that Scientology
is booming when it’s not. Superpower – Superpower has been ready
for release for over a decade (maybe 2?). The intention is to
stockpile money and stop the release of Superpower.
Book Campaigns are constantly regged for. Since I have been out of
the S.O, I have more calls to purchase books (new releases as well
as donations for libraries) than I have for getting my F/L debt
paid off or for getting back on the Bridge. After I routed out, I
got a call from the I&R CLO and an FSC reg, who had a well-laid
plan to get thousands of dollars in credit with 0% interest so I
could get 4 full sets of Basics (books and lectures). This totaled
12,000.00.00 and it included about 30,000.00 for my F/L debt. I
fell for it and did it. The Basics materials are in my garage and
my credit cards are maxed and my credit ruined. I earnestly tried
to get the basics sold, but the field is inundated with these
materials with numerous public also storing them in the garage. My
bad, and I’m paying the price. While in charge of a Cl V org, there
were repeated visits from (Bridge Publications and GOLD) projects
who were fund raising for book campaigns and bright ideas – all
with a guarantee that the campaign would “handle the city” or
“drive public in on the org”.  The intention is to amass vast
quantities of money with no exchange to “fund” off-source bright
ideas that are a distraction of org production.
Blocking flows of public up the Bridge.
  -This is covered above with the high prices and by distracting
them with donate, donate, donate, but also by directing OT
Ambassadors to reach into their field and send them to FSO for
Objectives and Grades. Objectives and Grades are done at mission
and Cl V org level and they should be directed to flood their own
org with public, not send them elsewhere. With the release of the
basic books and lectures, the runway to becoming an auditor has
lengthened just that much, as they are now prerequisites. The
intention is to empty out the Cl V orgs, and if they don’t empty
out, then inhibit them from making auditors..
Altering tech and policy.
  -I was most recently posted at the Cl V org level (garrison
mission out of CLO WUS).
The outpoints in the running of the mission itself and the managing
of the org were wild and various. The biggest and most destructive
3 were 1. no evaluation. An evaluation was asked for repeatedly and
management was provided with HUNDREDS of pages of data. No joy, so
sent the package to ED INT. He responded quite thoughtfully and
helpfully, and I executed his direction. But the org needed an eval
and nothing relayed to every echelon resulted in getting the org
evaluated ( 6 YEARS), but instead 2. constant orders to find a new
building. The city was scouted and nothing could be found that was
either big enough nor affordable.  Two real estate agents burned
out. The main guy in charge of this from the CLO came to the org to
help on at least 5 occasions, and didn’t find anything either. That
notwithstanding, repeated events were ordered to be held to
fundraise the money for a new building. In 5 years, about $190,000
for a new building was raised. The public did not like the entire
concept and wouldn’t donate. Out of that paltry amount of money
(which the public faithfully donated to get a new building) an
order came down to spend over 8,000.00 of it for a Congress
Lectures display that would boom the org.  3. is the “direction” to
put on events. These are New Years, LRH Birthday, May 9th, Summer
of events (MV Anniversary – which are all 4 weekends of July,
Auditor’s Day, IAS Anniversary. Usually a large event is expected
for a viewing of the CC Int Gala which is in, I believe Sept.  The
push and comm. on this is relentless and HUGE “because  each event
is like no other”. The hype that this is the solution to expansion
that you are looking for is communicated in a new unit of time with
each event. Each event will literally (a very commonly used adverb)
change the public involvement and will boom your org. What changed
in 2005 or 6, is that no events can be held in your org (unless you
were in an Ideal org building). It has to be at an outside venue
AND the venue would get approved only if it was very upstat (you
have to send pictures) and only if the room held 3X your highest
ever event attendance. This is a waste time and of money. The
entire staff have to be run on event call in and org funds have to
be spent on these venues.  Because this particular org was somewhat
nearby the PAC Base, we were frequently ordered to attend the live
event in PAC – which the public hated, and the attendance was
horrible – but our measly 40 or so public that did go filled a few
more seats at the live (filmed) event. One time I deliberately
cross-ordered having the event in an outside venue and I was
investigated by the org’s DSA and told I couldn’t emcee the event
because I was out-ethics.
Another management squirrel operating basis is to operate on
“Patterns”. For instance, Buffalo org was purchased, and made into
an Ideal Org. There were sequences to pulling that off. So this
becomes a pattern.  So there are telexes and directions for you to
do in your org that copy the “Buffalo Pattern” (for instance).  Or
in one org, someone got lucky and told the Lead (public) VM that he
was now the Volunteer Minister I/C (a staff post), and that person
agreed. So that becomes the solution in every org: just walk up to
your Field VM IC and tell him/her that he/she is now on staff.
Useless.  The other mismanagement was the relentless demand that
you get 20 recruits (in one week) and send them all to FSO for
training as supervisors and auditors. If it wasn’t in your BP, then
it got added by your Programs Chief with a face-rip on not having
included it. The Snr C/S of the org was pounded for compliance to
this order as well by her senior – the Snr C/S of the Cont..
There are daily calls from Bridge to make your GBS quota – pushing
mainly the selling of Congresses and Basics. An org had to purchase
an $8,000.00 interactive display from Gold when the Congresses were
released. The payment for this was okay’d to be fundraised, and
when that didn’t pan out, it was okay’d to come from the money
setaside for the purchase of the new Ideal Org Building. $8,000.00
down the drain.
These are the key points that were utter distractions to running
the org or getting in public to sell and deliver to (Reason for
Orgs). The intention is to eradicate standard management as covered
by LRH is Management CBOs (Central Bureaux Orders).
“Highest Ever” statistics have been re-defined so they are NOT
highest ever – they are highest ever for the year. So when highest
ever is mentioned at an event, it’s not the truth.
It’s a major outpoint that Objectives and Grades are being
delivered in so few hours at the FSO. If GAT auditors are perfect
everywhere, then what is different about the tech at the FSO?
Also, not just altering, but removing: HCO PL “Policy on Sec EDs
and Hats” (try 2 or 3 OEC Vol Os ago) and where is HCO PL
“Planetary Dissemination”? These LRH issues have been removed from
recent re-issues of the OEC volumes. Other notable alterations have
been noted by others and are verifiable by comparing earlier tapes
with current CDs.
The Comm Course which boomed Scientology in the 70s is gone.
The Primary Rundown is gone and LRH says it is a vital prerequisite
to major training (ref Tech Vol X pg 84-87) HCO B 4 April 1972R
PRIMARY RUNDOWN (REVISED): “It is up to the Course Supervisor to
hold this line in. His students will not prosper if their study is
begun without a Primary Rundown.  It is a high crime to omit this
vital step.”.
And 10 years after LRH is gone, there is a new definition for what
an F/N is: 3 swings of the needle.
The Intention is to just spin everyone, and once they’re spinning,
jam in a bunch of arbitraries so they stick (anyone who’s run FPRD
knows how’s how this works.)

Misapplying ethics and justice:
  -The brutality mentioned in numerous and various sites describes
this fully. For me (as a Cl V org garrison mission ED), I couldn’t
get a supervisor comm. ev’d who was (by public interrog) guilty of
gross, gross, gross out tech, who had tried (in the courseroom) to
interest a public in a product he was selling on his moonlight job,
but I was comm. ev’d at the end of my Garrison Mission for being
disaffected.  This violates an LRH handling for “returning vets” to
do a returning vets program which gets them cleaned up and put on
post back in management. I was not ethics’d when things were going
to shit, but was ethics’d when the person I had recruited to
replace me finally arrived. With the org not expanding and
struggling, a mission was sent by the CLO to RB “why the golden age
of tech is not going in”.
It’s also noted that an S.O. member who was I/C of an IAS Branch
Office was reported on by me to be abusive to staff – both mentally
and physically and got physical with his own wife – to a point the
wife and one of the staffers were suicidal “Sorry Upstat”  was the
reply. The intention is to create robots who comply to the beat of
the chief drummer.
Mismanaging and no-managing orgs
  — see above
Misappropriating funds
  –See above examples of how a Cl V org is directed. I have no
doubts that IAS and Superpower money has been misappropriated
simply by being very familiar with the amount of money raised
compared to the “no product.” Again, the intention is to amass huge
quantities of monies to be spent at the whim of the powers elite.

2. Examine the statistics of the individual, group, project or org.

Cl V org stats are declining over a very long period of time – like
20 years.
The Ideal Orgs that have been made are NOT full of public. Staff
are gotten from different cities and different orgs to man up the
newest Ideal Org. Geographical musical chairs.
Psychiatry is succeeding.
Education is abysmal.
There is no one on superpower. The building isn’t done.
Numerous OT VIIIs have left the church.
Former RTC and senior execs have left the church. Old-timers or
someone with a physical condition are simply offloaded.
Huge sums of money (mainly for IAS) are accumulating.
People leaving the S.O., or dismissed from the S.O. are at an all
time high.
The PR of Scientology is abysmal in the public mind
The “Golden Age of Tech” touts that the tech will be perfect
everywhere, but orgs are being instructed (via OT Ambassadors) to
send their field to Flag. I suppose where “real tech” can be
received.
Releases, Clears and Auditors are on a 20 years decline.
Obscene amounts of money have been spent on buildings and quarters
for RTC and Miscavige.

3. Decide on the basis of “the greatest good for the greatest
number of dynamics” whether or not it should be attacked, harmed or
suppressed or helped.

I would like to help it, but that door is closed due to the
Chairman of the Board. So the current management (and more
specifically the instigator: David Miscavage) has to be attacked.

4. Evaluate oneself or one’s own group, project or org as to
intentions and objectives.

The intentions and objectives of my own group are to deliver
Scientology is a safe environment with on-Source application of
tech and policy to the result of the person moving up the Bridge
with such rave results, he gets everyone he knows to “come get it
too.” This describes a field group, mission, Cl V org as it was
back in the 70s – when LRH was on the line and org staff ran their
orgs with minimal management interference.
Further, it is to be part of a 3D that operates on-Source so a true
3rd dynamic can be realized and we can get on with clearing the
planet without distractions (that are brought about by aberrated,
out-ethics, off-Source behavior by those in charge). Our eternity
depends on this. The objective is an On-Source Scientology where
ethics, tech and admin   (includes management tech) are applied by
the book – so that the benefits of Scientology can be realized on
this earth.

5. Evaluate one’s own or one’s group, project or org’s statistics.

Non-e for me personally. And I don’t specifically know the
statistics of the group I have decided to join. We are “in the Div
6 Phase” at this point wherein new adherents are being invited to
join the group of Independent Scientologists – this stat appears
very much to be on the increase. Just the blog where one learns and
decides has over 1 million hits. So it is growing – ie upstat.

6. Join or remain in or befriend the one which progresses toward
the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics and announce
the fact publicly to both sides.

I hereby join the group of Independent Scientologists. And to make
it crystal clear: It is a group of people that ARE Scientologists,
who abide by tech and policy and won’t tolerate off-Source
activities. I am joining the group that recognizes that David
Miscavige is wrecking the C of S and thus is the group that is
eager to right the wrongs and get Scientology back on the rails.

NB. Here are the bullet points of why Miscavige has to step down/be
removed:
•    Sabotage of CL V orgs by: eradicating on-Source Management.
•    Getting rid of/removing those who know Management Tech
•    Ordering CL V org OT Committees to send org public to FSO for
Objs & Grades
•    Commanding back-to-back international events that feature him and
how He is saving and/or expanding Scientology
•    Commanding continual events that drain the pockets of on-line
public for: new 40,000 sf buildings, superpower building, book
campaigns, IAS disasters
•    Not releasing superpower
•    Waste/extravagance with parishioner donations, and monies sent to
Int by CL V orgs and missions, and god knows who else.
•    Depriving CL V Org staff adequate pay through a “finance  system”
that chokes them.
•    Being privy to, enforcing or suggesting abortions
•    Hijacking the heart and soul of Scientology by: dissing LRH tech
by redefining training and enforcing a “Golden Age” (of tech);
creating ethics arbitraries where parishioners cannot express their
feelings or opinions
•    Reinstituting disconnection and ripping apart friends and family
thus creating horrific ARC Xs and PR for Scientology – MAKING
enemies for Scn.
•    Setting himself up as Source by defining what an F/N is; by
deleting data from tapes, books, technical bulletins and policies.
•    Redefining HIGHEST EVER without informing the public so highest
ever if for the year, not for ever. When relayed at int events, the
public are then made to believe in the “expansion”.
•    Ruining the movie Battlefield Earth.
•    Degrading capable Int Execs by: declaring them SP; locking them
down and physically and mentally abusing them until they toe his
line.
•    Creating a hidden data line
•    Squirreling Ethics
•    Squirreling Tech
•    Squirreling admin – including Management Tech
•    Joking and Degrading
•    Revealing details of confessions protected by priest/penitent
privilege
•    Monopolizing the LRH biographer’s time, thus sabotaging the
anticipated publication of the LRH biography.
•    Not delivering the broadly announced Scientology dictionary
•    And he hit Heber……

So after all is said and done, examined, digested and confronted, I
hereby declare my self an Independent Scientologist. I am not
resigning from “the Church”.  “Resigning” has too many distasteful
connotations. Being an Independent Scientologist does not. It
provides the freedom of thought and movement that is at the core of
Scientology.

Declaration:

In 1972, someone asked if I wanted to do a Communications Course.
In we walked, and I sat down for an OT TRO and went exterior after
an hour or so. Then 2 hour blinkless TR O. I was IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then HQS (the big flap was running out of chairs). Then PRD and I
was asked if I was interested in working there. My verbatim
response was: “I could work here?!!!!” And so I did for nearly 3
years. My idea was that as soon as everyone (I was thinking only of
United States at that time) even heard of Scientology, we’d have
totally 100% made it – simply because Scientology was so logical
and true, that as soon as anyone heard of it – well, they’d do it.
Staff was the joy of joys. I ended up as the Dissemination
Secretary. I built it to an 18 man Dissemination Division. Going to
post everyday was like doing what you wanted to do. There were 5
FEBCs heading the org that were all trained on the Apollo under LRH
– with L-10 under their belts.  Sweet.  The CLO even sent an
observation mission to find out how we were doing it. We had a look-
alike contest to see who looked the most like our Programs Chief.
It was just fun and games and we were booming with 80 students in
the Academy at one time doing nothing but Student Hat/PRD, Acad
levels 0-IV and HSDC. The internship was full. We had a build a
second HGC because the HGC hit over 600 hours (pre-purif – because
it didn’t exist at that time). LRH policy says that when your hours
hit 600, you need a second HGC – so we built one. There were 2 Cl
VIIIs with 2 more I/T at ASHO. A couple of the staff went to AO and
did through OT III.
    Then someone asked if I would join the Sea Org. Of course!! What
else would one do?
At first, it was just a hoot. It’s 1976 and so much of what was
still alive was LRH. He had a fleet of vans that were purchased for
the sole purpose of taking the staff to the beach or the local CW
malls to shop on their days off. You didn’t CSW for your liberty
(every second Sat if your stats were up). You just told your senior
the “tomorrow is my libs day, so I won’t be in”.  “Okay” would be
the reply. 3 week leave were a little tougher, but in my first 5
years in the S.O,
I ran a mission to acquire additional berthing for the staff and
nursery because there were a lot more staff and there was a bit of
a baby boom happening. I supervised outer org and was very highly
commended by LRH 3 times (a very highly commended cleans your
ethics file and you get a campaign bar for it)
And over the years, the freedoms, granting of beingness, the right
to originate, the liberties, the staff “perks” began to erode. The
pay, the food, the time off, the freedom to create your post – bit
by bit, these things eroded/  It just stopped being fun.
Fast forward 30 years or so. Libs are a nightmare to get. 3 week
leaves are almost unheard of. There are 10-16 people per dorm.
Musters are 3 Xs per day and are ordinarily entheta. Staff are
micro-managed.  There are no babies and women who become pregnant
either abort or are offloaded (the idea to send them to CL V orgs
for 6 years is no more – they are offloaded with a freeloader
debt). My own son was staff for 13 years and is a Purif completion.
He’s out along with his wife. They now have 2 young beautiful and
vibrant children. But, I’ve declared my independence. She or he
have alerted all my friends on Facebook that I have resigned. I
love my son with every fiber of my being, but he’s disconnected
from me and is hard at work severing all my “still in” friends. The
day after this happened, my in-box was full of “Linda, is this
true?”
Let the games begin.  Truth, in the end will prevail, and it will
all be set right. This chapter will close, and Book II will begin
with Scientology re-instated as it was meant to be.

      Linda McCarthy
      39 year Scientologist (3 years CL V org, 32 S.O.)
      OT V, HPCSC, Level II auditor

Tom Martiniano – Declaration of Independence

Posted on May 10, 2010 by | 179 comments

 

A lot of you know me. I have worked with Mike and Marty, Haydn and I worked hand-in-hand, Lucy, Tom DeVocht, Mariette and dozens of others who are on this blog.

I’ll give you a little of my history:

When LRH talked about the aims of Scientology – a world without war, without insanity, it really resonated with me. I was one of those 60’s hippies that were in the governments face regarding the illegal war in Vietnam. Much like today we tried to bring an end to that war that was wasting people by the thousands. The government finally figured out what to do with us war protesters; draft them – that was pretty ironic when you look back at it. So I got drafted and off I went to the killing fields. I spent an entire year in combat – Oct 68 to Oct 69. My company was finally wiped out from 110 men down to 33 left and the ones left were all wounded one way or another. On the third day of that battle (May 14 1969) I went down on my knees and made a deal with the “Big Man”: “Spare me and the rest of my friends and I will work endlessly to fix what ever causes man to be so evil to other men.”

The deal must have gone through because here I still am. When I found Scientology I knew I had found my miracle vessel for carrying out the deal. I was elated to say the least. So now I had to deliver on my deal. Off I went.

I worked endlessly just like most of you ex-Sea Org, and shoulder-to-shoulder with most of you. I loved having a new Band of Brothers (and Sisters) who gave their all, underwent harsher conditions than they haven’t experience for hundreds of lifetimes, yet remained dedicated to the task at hand – clearing the planet. It was a new war, but a real one and we were winning!

I trained up to be a Pro Word Clearer in1971 in Detroit org and I word cleared everything that didn’t move (upwards). I then became the Qual Sec and then the OES when LRH asked us to 5X the stats. We did. I believe we were St Hill Sized in 1974.

I was the OT III supervisor at AOLA 1977 to 1979. I joined the Sea Org in 1979 and was the Qual Sec AOLA. I lasted about one year because then I was sent on the Rollback Missions to USGO and GO WW. We found all sorts of squirreling going on and handled it. I then became C/S 5, which was an honor and I ended up at Flag. I was then sent on a RB mission into FLB where we found a plant or two and a whole lot of out ethics.

I then was sent on more missions to handle infiltration and then resurrection of management in the conts and it worked. We boomed EUS and then ANZO. I became the CO ANZO and rocked the place in 1984 with lots of affluences. I did about 100 missions between 1982 and 1996. Most of them were successful. Maybe one or two failed.

I was then posted at FCB as the DCO Production and then Sea Org Programs Chf where I tripled the size of that sector in 3 short years. Then I was the CO CEO, then CO ITO and then CO PAC RENOS. I was the project I/C for the Manor and the LRH Life Exhibition renovations. I was the mission I/C for the release of OT VIII and the original Maiden Voyage where Marty handed over the OT VIII materials and I turned them over to FSSO.

I then ended up at CMO Int as the Construction Management Ops CMOI. This is where I became up close and personal with DM. And I had a bad case of the heebie-jeebies during that whole time. He was Jeckel and Hyde. Some days he would be okay and other days he would be mad dog. When he was mad dog he would take it out on me.

In 1990 DM wrote the amnesty and allowed even the RPF a pardon. DM came to the Manor right after the event where he released the amnesty and found the RPF gone. “Where’s the RPF?” He asked. “You set them free” I answered. This pissed him off so much that he almost swung on me. He actually blamed me for the RPF being gone. Then he ordered me off of post right then and there. I actually stood up to him and told him I was SS IV and he cannot take me off of post without a committee of evidence. He had a hissy fit, stomped out and then had someone else from CMOI bust me a week later. This was the first time I really got a good glimpse of how crazy this dude is. But I also realized that when he is confronted he folds up like a card table.

My last day at Int was after I had a comm cycle with DM. He pissed me off more than anyone could. I blew Int directly after talking to him.

I ended up in PAC as the Cramming Officer. I left the Sea Org in 1997 after back-to-back heart attacks right in the middle of DMs “Heavy Ethics Mission” into PAC in 1996. I barely endured that mission with Jennifer DeVoct at the helm and DM running her but the thing that got me was when Jennifer warned: “You old timers – your days are numbered. We are going to replace you with young people.” I knew this was DM talking and I just went down hill from there. I knew LRH would never act this way towards us, so I decided I was out. I wrote a KR on the GAT, and the squirreling that was originated and perpetuated by RTC and on the New Era Management being implemented in a squirrel manner. Man I was busted in just a few short days.

I left the Sea Org in January 1997. It was horrible to leave. My dreams were dashed and the game of clearing the planet ended.

But now Marty has given us all hope. We have a lot of people who have joined Marty’s campaign. Some who want Scientology back, some who want the demise of Scientology, some who want reforms, others who want blood. But what most everyone wants, in my opinion, is that they want Scientology.

When I finished OT III I realized that I was free, out of jail. My next cognition was not so simple – I realized all of my brothers and sisters were still in jail and I needed to get them out. I actually felt that I had to go back into the prison and get them out while also looking like and going through the motions of being a prisoner. Then I had to remember that I was free and could walk out any time.

Now it’s the same; we have escaped suppression and entrapment by DM by getting out of the Sea Org and out here in the field, but we’re not all the way out until our brethrens are out. Remember, we made oaths to LRH and we are still the cream of the crop, the ones who cannot be sold a bill of goods to. We will get Scientology back and we will clear this planet. It’s RJ 67 folks and we are all part of the new game to defeat suppression, get ethics in and then clear this mud ball.

I’m happy to be connected with Mike, Marty, Haydn, Christie, Lucy, Sarge, Joe, Jim, Roberto and all the rest of you. It is my honor.

When Veritas speaks…

Posted on May 6, 2010 by | 99 comments

Obviously, when I came to see Marty months ago it was a leap of trust, one which I evaluated against data, observations, my personal integrity, loyalty to LRH, and the Auditor’s Code. (initially asking myself ‘what the f am I doing?) (and I did get an answer to that question:).

I had held out hope for years that the corruption I observed first hand in the “Church” (and wrote up and tried every possible green on white way to handle) would be resolved.

Well… it has been. Out here. In the field.

When I routed in to the “Church” years ago to continue up from OT 3, I also purchased all the growing list of required hoops, i.e. more “required” eligibility sec checking and FPRD. Personally, I enjoyed that and had fabulous wins.

But, again: I was there to move onto OT IV and up the Bridge. It can be argued I was “closer” because of abilities and insight and knowledge gained. However, even beyond the tens of thousands of dollars of expense while awaiting some hidden Lord of Freedom to yet *again* deem whether I was “eligible” for Eternity. (I had already been through this numerous times and also for OT 3)

My theme song for that could very well have been: “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” …

I also did a L. And that was *amazing*.

The L was so awesome, with observable sweeping shifts in existence, that I decided I might do my other Ls before finishing the bridge. Insofar as direct spiritual insight and results of Theta being senior to MEST, the L had some OT wins. Besides, every time one goes to make it through OT, there are more hoops stacked.

Anyway, point is, there is always something else one can do in Scientology.

But the question is: is it *vital* and necessary to achieving OT?

I’m grateful Marty didn’t Q&A with any of that.

It’s the diff between vertical or horizontal progress. I don’t regret any auditing I’ve done. In a round about embellishing way, it could be argued it is all harmonic of OT.

Only with the wins I’ve had with auditing the OT levels as intended and as is laid out on the Bridge did it become flagrantly obvious by comparison…nothing else is a substitute!

Beyond the enormous expense (waste) of money and precious time within the “Church” , the real crime is the driving motive, the WHY behind the curlycue route to OT in Idle Orgs.

The delays and parked cases are no accidental circumstances. They are attacks.

Even the most well-meaning staff are blind to it.

And there is no other explanation why the delays, the dev T, the parked cases, the many people off lines, or the “flat” sounding “success” stories at attestations within the Walls of the Corporate Compound of Miscavige.

As unpretty as it is, it’s as plain as a steaming dog turd on a white rug

(which btw is way prettier by comparison to what is going on)

The third dynamic intention of the “Church” was not to “get me up & through the top of the Bridge.” Sure, I heard those words, but observed the game of bonkers regging to squeeze every dollar possible along the way, and observed “care” and respect fluctuate depending on the balance of people’s a$$sets.

These are just outpoints. They are not the why.

The “why” is not even the “Game” played that people are less important than Scientology.

This justifies strengthening the “church” at the expense of its members, under the umbrella justification and gross misunderstood that doing so, or sacrificing one’s self is the “greatest good for the greatest #”.

Even those are just symptom of the core disease.

The disease is the intention operating the “Church.” Here it is: the third dynamic “church” modus operandi stops people from going up and Out.

The wolf dressed up as Bo Beep leading the sheep.

The Bridge is about one thing: Moving up and through OT

So…you know how I often say “Marty, thank you for giving me back Scientology?”

I can add to that “Thank you for letting me HAVE Scientology.”

Scientology is not something to be dangled out just out of one’s reach, with occasional little brushes up against outstretched fingers.

It is yours. It is ours. It is there, in our hands, firmly, securely for the grasping.

We don’t have all day. There is no reason to wait or delay.

So now I have it again. No smoke & mirrors incense. No hocus pocus. No fear. No significance. Just the straight stuff.

There it is.

If there was one thing LRH wanted, what is it? It is for us to *have* this tech.

I’m looking here at the photo of LRH sitting with an E meter, captioned “Self portrait” in The Book of Case Remedies.

And when you have cleared the pc, until he can stand unaided and get right answers in the existence he or she is living in, you can again go for broke…

he describes going for the state of OT.

I’m struck by his description “Stand up *unaided*” in reference to the attainment of Clear.

Compare that to OT 8s within the “church needing to “get permission” to speak to a brother, as with Mike Rinder’s brother Andrew?

I’m also struck by LRHs description *Go for broke* talking about attaining OT. I see that intention in all his writings. GO FOR IT, A to B.

LRH wrote to us as colleagues and equals. In countless HCOBs, he shares results or research, what he decided to change, to share, as he bids us well on the adventure.

I personally accepted the gift and the responsibility. It begins with knowing what it is I see, and knowing the intergrity of my observation and conclusions.

I am aware of this: What I experienced and addressed in taking my next step went right to the root of things that can be considered a negative aspect of the human condition.

The “symptoms” of case can be dilly dallied with in a number of ways. But the “root” of a matter is just that.

If one’s universe is a garden, it’s the difference between pruning a weed (release) or ripping it out by the roots. (achievement of a new state).

When weeds are removed by the roots, symptoms and manifestations of case are Gone. Done. Handled.

Yes, I was ready! Yes, I had been ready for years. Yes, I wanted it. Yes, I was there in the orgs giving it my all to do it, and bringing in lots of other people, too.

My bottom line about Scientology is to uphold the sanctity of a promise I made to someone — LRH — who gave me the greatest gift of eons.

I did not make that promise blind. I made it based upon my personal observations, knowledge, experience and empirical results as a recipient and minister (CL IV) of Scientology.

The purpose of ethics is one thing: to get in the tech.

The purpose of the Tech is one thing: to get you up and OUT.

I’ve been true to myself, and I have been true to LRH and to my auditor on the matter.

Thank you for listening and for sharing your experiences on this road.

New OT IV (OT DRD) Ridge on the Bridge

Posted on May 5, 2010 by | 221 comments

 

In the early eighties LRH wrote to the then-Snr CS Int questioning why the church was monkeying around using 1968 OT III technology on the OT DRD (OT IV). LRH suggested a pilot  using NOTs (New OT V)  technology which he noted was far more precision and powerful than OT III technology on the OT DRD (New OT IV). Incidentally, as RTC’s go-to  VIP case debugger for several years, and for the past year deliverying from my humble shack in South Texas, I have observed his advice to be spot on. I’ve seen dozens of people parked between OT III and OT V because they were ground to an expensive halt on Old OT IV.   Ray never got around to complying because DM cross ordered him off of it to concentrate exclusively on converting FPRD breakthroughs into a mind control operation against OT VIIs and most every other level of church public and staff.

Well, the first parked OT III completion who came my way down here, I decided to take LRH’s advice on.  The pre-OT had been off the Bridge for 15 years because she took a stand against grotesque criminal regging that by the mid-nineties had become ramapant under DM’s guidance.  I did the complete OT IV rundown utilizing NOTS technology just like LRH advised. 

I gotta tell you I have audited complete NOTS levels and OT IV levels before, but I have never seen a person – with no exceptions – make the ride more smoothly through New OT IV and New OT V completion.  I’ve never seen more tone arm action per session, more cognitions on the woof and warp of the physical and spiritual universes.  I’ve never seen a person blossom and flourish and grow like this pre-OT did on these levels. I delivered it in four blocks spanning 5 months and kept in very close touch with the pre-OT watching her go from a baby OT to a full blown OT. 

Now, by way of comparison, this completion was done in the teeth of DM’s PI’s doing everything short of breaking the law (well, the jury is still out on that one) to prevent this from happening.  Fortunately, I had a couple of great E/O’s (Mike and JB) keeping the immediate environs relatively quiet.

Bottom line: LRH said to do this and DM said “no.”  We said “yes”, went ahead and did it and found out it resolves a major ridge on the Bridge and streamlines the route to OT.
