    TERROR STALKS

    A piercing scream against Dianetics arose before the first book was published in 1950. Press was hot against it before the first foundation was formed.

    For seven months before there was personnel or personal troubles publicized, the bulk of articles against Dianetics had already appeared. At one time three national magazines were simultaneously on the stands screaming in lead articles about Dianetics and myself – and this was five months before and "divorce" publicity.

    Until May, 1950 I received only favorable publicity – on expeditions or comings or goings. In May 1950 there was a concerted shriek from people who (a) had not read the books and (b) who knew nothing bad about me.

    These howls came from both conservative and liberal groups alike – the AMA – The Commies, The Socialists, the Roman Catholics.

    1. Many truly dangerous practices have risen up amongst man such as a new Indian version of whirling dervishism now rampant in England;
    2. Brainwashing was introduced in the past eleven years by the Russians;
    3. A dozen violent and harmful psychiatric treatments have been developed.

    And no sustained protest has continued to be made in the press against these.

    Looking at all of these things, then it would seem that protests against Dianetics and Scientology do not stem from a knowledge of myself, they do not stem from a knowledge of the substance of the work, they do not stem from conservative or liberal groups, and they are not a protest against philosophy, philosophers, or evil practices, and they are not an effort to protect the public.

    If you look this over with cold dispassion, examine it thoroughly from the light of the facts, only one explanation seems to remain.

    They are terrified of our postulates!

    To any attack by anyone, we can reply, "Why are you terrified of Scientology?"

    We inspire terror in some men. "Why are you terrified of Scientology?" is the best answer. It as-ises the condition.

    Ron’s Journal No. 3

    The U.S. Government went more than abnormal insane last week and did the following all of its own little bat:

    1. Organized a smear campaign in the press to cover up
    2. An armed raid on a church and
    3. The seizure of philosophical religious book stocks.

    These were Hitler’s exact tactics when he got "agin" something. The smear campaign was in Washington D.C. papers, on the streets four hours before the raid occurred.

    The action came soon after I offered Kennedy, a Catholic, help in the space race.

    But what is interesting is that no press has mentioned the above (1), (2), (3) facts. Given to the public just as they are, they could ruin the Kennedy regime, if not the U.S. Government over a longer period. They are in the teeth of the Constitution of the United States and abroad would give pause to all this enthusiasm for U.S. domination of world defense. Who wants to be tied up with a country dedicated to religious persecution and Hitler methodology?

    So on careful trace I find that over twelve years the U.S. Government, not some special interest, has been sniping at us. Why?

    Just tell it to your local paper and your friends, "The U.S. Government has conducted a smear campaign in the press to cover up a raid on a church and the seizure of all stocks of 21 religious and philosophical textbooks; wasn’t that the way Hitler began?"

    Attacks On Scientology

    NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology. ONLY agree to an investigation of the attackers.

    This is correct procedure:

    1. Spot who is attacking us.
    2. Start investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse using our own professionals
    3. Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
    4. Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.

    Don’t ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way.

    Never talk about us – only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. There has never been an attacker who was not reeking with crime.

    It even would have worked on the U.S. FDA when they first began five years before their raid on D.C.
