There
shall be established on a board level and outside
the structure of the Central Org and HCO but
under the board of HASI Ltd. a new department
to be called "The Department of Government
Affairs".
More
and more, as governments disintegrate under
the threat of atomic war and communism, central
organizatons have had to give high executive
time to governmental affairs to the great loss
of the organizations themselves. The enturbulence
entered into Scientology activities by legal
matters, tax matters, and matters of assisting
governments to maintain stability, has sapped
our time and fixed our attention to our own
loss.
Now
to remedy this situation I wvish to contain
and cordon, in a military sense, this incursion
and to prohibit utterly and completely such
entrance (of these matters or our own project
for governments) into Central Org or HCO
(Hubbard Communication Office , ndlr) comm lines.
ln other words, Central Orgs and HCOs are run
by, for and as Scientology service and activity
units and the special Department of Government
Affairs shall handleother matters and specifically
deny such non-Scientology matters entrance into
organizational comm lines.
The
Department or Government Affairs shall be headed
and directed with a minimum of personnel and
shall not be able to call upon the personnel
of the Central Org or HCO for further assistance
than the relay of communications.
The
Director of Government Affairs shall be a fully
qualified person of good judgement subject to
control of the Board of Directors and shall
be subject to the advices and directions of
the Board and the HCO and Assn Secretary. Only
Washington and South Africa are excluded from
supervision of the Dept by the Assn Sec, Org
Sec and HCO Sec. ln all other offiœs
the Director of Government Affairs shall be
subordinate to the Assn Sec and HCO Sec.
Under
this department comes the corporation's solicitors,
attorneys, chartered accountants and any attorney
or accountant hired directly by the corporation
for outside legal or tax or filing purposes.
The
allotment and issue of shares comes under this
department, but the actual invoicing and banking
shall be done as always by the Dept of Accounts
or, for HCO, by the HCO Secretary.
All
contracts, fïlings with the government.
all tax reports and their preparation, corporation
minutes, annual meetings, legal papers, suits
against and by the corporation, whether HASI
Lrd or HCO Ltd. all legal investigatory work
and detectives, all contacts wirh government
agents, bureaus and departments, all assistance
to governments, messages to governments, handling
answers from governments or courts shall be
cared for by the Department, whether to advance
or protect Sciento!ogy or its corporations by
government or legal channels.
All
legal documents and the Valuable Document files
for HCO and HASI shall be kept by the Department
in a proper safe in accordance with previous
rules written for the keeping and handling of
valuable documents.
All
share sales reports and all legal, governmental
and corporation reports to be made to the boards
shall be made to it by this Department.
No
shares may be advertised or issued save with
the approval of this department.
No
contracts, purchases or mortgages may be undertaken
without the approval of this Department and
then only by the action of this Department.
lt
is clearly understood that the Department shall
not undertake financial management for the Central
Org orHCO nor may it direct the Central Org
or HCO on purely Scientology affairs or Scientology
dissemination except where these may impinge
directly upon the government, and even then
this Department is enjoined from forcing government
laws or rulings upon the Central Org or HCO
by threat of danger or ominous advices, nor
may the Department
employ either solicitors nor accountants who
specialize in ominous advices to the Orgs since
the Orgs
could be discouraged or impeded by such.
The
object of the Department is to broaden the impact
of Scientology upon governments and other organizations
and is to conduct itself so as to make the name
and repute of Scientology better and more forceful.
Therefore defensive tactics are frowned upon
in the department. We are not trying to make
the Central Orgs and HCOs "be good".
We are trying to make their reach more secure
and effective. Only attacks resolve threats.
ln
the face of danger from Govts or courts there
are only two errors one can make:
- (a)
do nothing and
- (b)
defend.
-
- The
right things to do with any threat are to
-
- (l)
Find out if we want to play the offered
game or not,
- (2)
If not, to derail the offered game with
a feint or attack upon the most vulnerable
point which can be
- disclosed
in the enemy ranks,
- (3)
Make enough threat or clamor to cause the
enemy to quail,
- (4)
Don't try to get any money out of it,
- (5)
Make every attack by us also sell Scientology
and
- (6)
Win.
If
attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone
or anything or any organization, always find
or manufacture enough threat against them to
cause them to sue for peace.
Peace is bought with an ex change of advantage,
so make the advantage and then settle. Don't
ever defend. Always attack. Don't ever do nothing.
Unexpected
attacks in the rear of the enemy's front ranks
work best.
Never
put the organization on "wait" because
of courts or other matters. It's up to the Department
to make the actions of HCO Secs and Org Secs
right, not enjoin right actions on the HCO and
Org Secs.
To
win we must have treasure and verve. If a Central
Org and HCO function perfectly as service units
then treasure and consequent security for the
further advance are to hand. If the Department
operates with verve and elan, even with rashness,
it will afford a screen behind which organizations
can work.
Example:
BMA
(British Médical Association) attacks
Scientology in Australia via the government.
Answer:
throw heavy communication against the weakest
point of the BMA - its individu al doctors.
Rock them with petitions to have medical laws
modified which they are to sign. Couple the
BMA attack with any group hated by the government.
Attack
personally by threats or suits any person signing
anything for the BMA. Slam the matter into politics,
advance a bill into parliament that strips the
BMA of all legal rights by opening healing to
all. Make the attack by the BMA look ridiculous.
Attack
medical practices. Investigate horrible practices
loudly. (Always investigate loudly never quietly.)
Make the distinct public and governmental impression
and BMA impression that they've run into a barrage
of arrows or electronic cannon and that continued
attack by them will cause their own disintegration.
As all this is being do ne on a thought or idea
level the restimulation of their engrams
results in the total impression that they are
surrounded by their own dead and the battery
may fire again at any minute. And if one makes
in writing not one slanderous or libelous statement,
there is no defense by them.
This
example is patterned on what just happened and
what we did in Australia where we are winning
strongly.
The
personnel of the Department should be freed
of past track legal and governmental overts
by the HGC (Hubbard Guidance Center, ndlr) using
evening auditing. This is a must or the Department
will otherwise attract attacks. Further, the
higher the department personnel is raised on
"control" through running help, the
less action will have to be undertaken by it
and the more it will actually accomplish without
violent action.
The
goal of the Department is to bring the government
and hostile philosophies or societies into a
state of complete compliance with the goals
of Scientology.
This
is done by high level ability to control and
in its absence by low level ability to overwhelm.
Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies.
Scientology is the only game on Earth where
everybody wins. There
is no overt
in bringing good order.
The
offices of the Department, so far as is possible,
should be so situated as to bring no government
traffic into the main avenues, comm lines or
halls of the Central Organization or HCO or
so as to divert it to the maximum extent from
said avenues, comm lines and halls.
The
following personnel appointments are made, conditional
to acceptance, as Directors of Government Affairs:
ln
the United States and South Afrrica the head
of the Department of Government Affairs shall
be also Trustee or Area Director of the Central
Organization while the Org Sec and Assn Sec
shall not be, but will be officers of the corporation.
This
policy letter and these appointments are prompted
by the following facts:
1.
My own traffic on government legal affairs is
far too heavy and I need help of magnitude on
a continental level.
2.
HCO Secs and Assn Secs are having difficulty
holding down their Orgs and the field because
of the time demanded by government affairs.
3.
The activity will get heavier rather than lighter.
1.
The deterioration of government order is accelerating
with consequent confusion in all related affairs
;
2.
Increasing amounts of order must be maintained
by us at a governmental level against the possibility
of finding our areas without governments.
4.
We are about to file HASI Ltd and HCO Ltd in
all areas with the attendant heavy legal and
governmental action necessary.
5.
We are about to arrange for the release of and
the issue of over half a million pounds of shares
to the public, thus making heavy demands on
legal and government lines.
6.
We are about to finance and erect various media
of communications, such as radio stations, on
the various continents and this will require
enormous amounts of liaison and action in such
a department.
7.
We are about to finance and find new quarters
in the United States and such activities come
under the new Department.
8.
Due to new clearing techniques, our sphere of
control is widening. This is purely a case phenomenon,
but will be felt heavily by Orgs in the future.
It is necessary to provide comm lines for this
widening of influence.
