of fees paid; and "writing anti-Scientology letters to the press." Even
turning a Scientologist into the proper authorities can gain one the label of a
suppressive. The issue also prohibits "1st degree murder, arson,
disintegration of persons or belongings not guilty of suppressive acts."
(Emphasis added.) In other words, killing suppressive persons or destroying
their property promotes Scientology and is therefore ethical within the
Scientology belief system.
WHY SCIENTOLOGISTS CANNOT GIVE
UNBIASED TESTIMONY
The material just quoted also shows why Scientologists cannot give
unbiased testimony. If the testimony is viewed as critical of Scientology or
a Scientology executive, it would be a "public disavowal" and a "publicstatement
against Scientology" and
would be a suppressive act. The person
could then be kicked out of Scientology and be made Fair Game and sued.
Since Scientologists don't want this to happen to them, they will not make
any critical remarks or remarks that may be deemed critical. This is why
Scientology officials have insisted that only active Scientologists can be
experts" - because they will be biased to Scientology rather than
responding fully and honestly to the Court.
AN EXAMPLE OF HUBBARD
IMPLEMENTING FAIR GAME
Scientologists like to find instances where Hubbard applied a
doctrine so they can imitate it. Hubbard gave an example of how Fair Game
should be applied shortly after he created the doctrine. Hubbard gave
specific orders on how to apply the Fair Game doctrine in HCO Executive
letter 27 September 1965 or. "Amprinistics " (attached as Exhibit E) This
was what he called a "splinter" group, a group that was using Scientology
"technical" methods without his control. Hubbard's three-page issue blasts
the Amprinistics leaders with a variety of sexual charges (one of his favorite
topics for accusations) and says what should be done:
"They are each fair game, can be sued or harassed. Hornercan be barred out of
any Commonwealth Country
or England as he
was the subject of a deportation order from England and his file has
come alive again in the Home Secretary's Office. Harry Thompson's
wives and victims are always looking for him to have him arrested.
Watson is a set-up for arrest as a homosexual. Any meeting held by
them should be torn up. The names of any persons attending should
be collected and they should be labeled SP [suppressive person] as
they have left Scientology. These people are SP because they are
seeking to avoid auditing and retain their withholds. Once labeled,
these persons will not then be covered by amnesty and will never be
admitted to further training and processing. Persons messing
themselves up with Amprinistic [techniques] should be refused any
assistance. If these persons move into your area act through any
agency you can to have them deported or arrested on whatever
grounds. England is currently too hot for them so they may tour
about. Horner's UK deportation order, Thompson's police record and
Watson's homosexuality make them very vulnerable to deportation
or arrest.
Hubbard does not stop there. He goes on to issue a five-step orderthat includes:
"(2) Harass these persons in any possible way....
"(4) Tear up any meeting held and get the names of those
attending and issue SP orders on them and you'll have lost a lot of
rats.
This order is has never been canceled and is still "scripture" as an
example how to attack "enemies." In fact, as an example of how Fair Game
was being implemented against another defendant, attached as Exhibit F is a
declaration from former member David Mayo who describes how he was
held captive for six months and was told he would "never leave the property
alive." (See pages 4-8) He describes the duress and threats as he became the
target of the Fair Game Doctrine (or "Fair Game Law.")
HOW SCIENTOLOGY USES INVESTIGATION
AND THE MEDIA TO ATTACK
AND HARASS CRITICS
In 1966, Hubbard began to codify those sections of Scientology that
would implement Fair Game. For example, on February 17, 1966, he
created the Public Investigation Section with a policy letter of that name and
date. (Attached as Exhibit G) He said it would serve "the useful functions ofan
intelligence and propaganda
agency. It finds the data and sees that it gets
action." The statistic of the unit included "the number of derogatory news
stories appearing that week related to enemies of Scientology."
Hubbard also urged the priority of finding evidence of "murder,
assault, destruction, violence, sex and dishonesty, in that order.
Investigations which can uncover these factors in the activities of individuals
or a group attacking Scientology are valuable in the degree that they contain
a number of these factors." And note that Hubbard's use of such evidence is
not for law enforcement but to the media. "In that way," he wrote, "we then
Get rid of suppressive groups by investigation and disclosure." (Emphasis
added.)
The next day, on February 18, 1966, Hubbard wrote "Attacks on
