    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.

    Re: Intelligence

    The following are possibilities for collecting data.

    1. Infiltration.
    2. Bribery.
    3. Buying information.
    4. Robbery.
    5. Blackmail.

    The last two are, of course illegal.

    Re Life Article And Letter

    It is interesting that "Life" Magazine in the US has been a violent foe of Dianetics and Scn for 18 years.

    In England the heads of the largest newspaper chain are also members of the UK World Federation of Mental Health confederate board of directors.

    This is an old intelligence trick – to own or control a press chain in an enemy country.

    It was done by German agents, for instance, to keep Spain out of the war.

    Earlier the "Saturday Evening Post" published an article full of quotes never made. It has gone downhill as a magazine over the years. WFMH connected publishers often do.

    So some of the US magazine and newspaper chains are controlled by the WFMH.

    The Intelligence, espionage pattern is very plain here. In the "Life" article a psychotic is pushed into the org to get no case gain, his identity secret, to get discreditable data and he then writes an article. But he is already a mental patient.

    Local Agents WFMH has confederates in every country and many states with sub-chapters in most US cities. They are always named "National" and have "Mental Health" in their name at nation or state level.

    There is a National Institute of Mental Health in Washington DC that is US Government. The only one in the world really connected to a government. It does WFMH printing for it at US expense!

    All the rest of the "National" groups are phonies. They are only private groups. Following orders from overseas.

    These groups secretly shoot down chiropractors, churches, any Western culture or advance or healing action. Their standard propaganda line is:

    1. everyone is insane.
    2. psychiatrists should be next to every world leader treating them weekly.
    3. anyone should be subject to seizure as insane without process as law
      • (Siberian bill they seek to get passed and once almost did pass through Congress).
    4. Scientology breaks up families.
    5. Scientology prevents people from coming to their psychiatrist to seek real help.
    6. There are not enough psychiatrists or "facilities".
    7. All boundaries should be destroyed.
    8. All constitutions should be destroyed.
    9. Any current campaign they may have to get something destroyed for a big Western take over.

    A conspiracy formed at the WFMH Congress in London in August 1968 resulted in simultaneous identical political channel attacks on Scn in several countries. The "Life" article was crudely timed to be part of this.

    And every branch of every rightest group would be delighted to know these US "mental health" groups are controlled by a foreign group which has Communists on its board of directors.

    The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association and such are members of the main world group and are just pawns.

    They are called "Mental Healing" but their literature talks only about world domination and seldom about any cases.

    They were founded by a psychotic named Clifford Beers and carry on the tradition.

    It is interesting that WFMH says publicly there is "no difference between right and wrong" and "psychiatrists are the only enlightened people who know this". By traditional law, sanity is defined as the "ability to tell right from wrong."

    OBSERVATION:

    Transcript here

    We now know that the main line of attack on Scientology has been undertaken by the people or groups directly associated with WFMH. We do not know if there is any person or group behind the WFMH which directs them in their actions or in their policies toward us.

    MAJOR TARGET: 

    To keep ourselves fully informed with regard to the WFMH, persons connected to it and the groups and persons connected to these groups, to the end result that their actions against us can be exposed fully.

    2. To establish, add to and keep up-to-date files containing all information gathered.

    VITAL TARGETS:

    1. To keep the Asst. Guardian and the Guardian WW advised as to the results of such information and to present it in evaluated, digested form.
    2. To provide other Guardian Office personnel with data they can use in their actions.

    OPERATING TARGETS:

    1. To locate and investigate any member or group of the WFMH in your area. 
    2. To collect all data with regard to all such members or groups in your area. 
    3. To infiltrate any such groups in your area.

    6. To keep all information and data collected in files, carefully cross filed. 
    7. To do everything possible in the collection of such data. 
    8. To do everything possible to inhibit or stop any actions directed against us. 
    9. To discover any third-party or dead-agent-type activities which they may be conducting against us so that it can be corrected and handled at once. 
    10. To immediately investigate any attack against us in your area to find if any person or persons so attacking are connected in any way to persons or groups connected to the WFMH and to obtain evidence and documents to reveal such connections. 
    11. To make and send reports on same to the D/Guardians for Intelligence. 

    PRODUCTION TARGET:

    This is a continuing programme. A lot of work has been done thus far; however, some areas have done little or nothing [missing words] should immediately do so.
