OSA Network Order 2

      :              (SEC ED 254 Int of 26 April 1966.
      :       Reissued on 17 October 1987 as an OSA NW Order.)
      


        The original date of issue is during the era of the Guardian office (before the Snow White Trials in 1979). This proves that Hubbard dictated Guardian Office orders, despite Scientology's claims to its members (and the U.S. Government) that Suppressive Persons [radicals outside of Scientology's control] infiltrated the Guardian Office and were responsible for Snow White.

        Miscavige, his lawyers, and his Public Relations representatives said that all Guardian Orders were "cancelled", so Scientology simply reissued many as OSA NW Orders. This way, they could keep "tech" by renaming it something else to go with the illusion that the criminals (GO staff) were ousted and the "off-source tech" issues (Guardian Orders) were cancelled. In parallel, Miscavige renamed the GO the "Office of Special Affairs". It's semantics, that's all -- an "acceptable" truth.

        The OSA issue date is after Hubbard's death in 1984. This proves that Scientology did not disband the Guardian's Office, despite Scientology's claims to the contrary. In reality, both GO and OSA are the same Scientology entity, internally named Division 20.

        [Can any ex-GO/OSA confirm what "SEC ED 254 Int" means? I would guess "Section" or perhaps "Security". "ED" is perhaps "Executive Directive"] (i.e. Hubbard makes Executive Directives to GO [OSA], which is clearly at odds with what Scientology told the US Government during the Snow White Trial). I would guess "Int" means either "Internal" or "International".

        This header clearly shows that OSA's "Orders" are recycled from material from the Guardian Office days

      :     1.  Any non-Scientology person applying for a post in
      : Dept 3 Section 5* must be completely cleared on a "Joburg"
      : and be null on all question s and the HCO Sec must be complete-
      : ly assured the person is both qualified and potentially loyal
      : and without any criminal record or tendencies before the
      : person may be employed in Section 5.
      


        A "Joburg" is a Sec Check (Security Check or lie-detector test) developed in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is more intense than the Sec Check given to OT applicants. It is meant to ensure unequivocal loyalty to Hubbard and Scientology. A Sec Check, one of Hubbard's more sinister uses of auditing "therapy", puts questions to the victim while they hold the cans of an e-meter . If the randomly-moving needle moves in the wrong way, it could mean instant excommunication via a "Suppressive Person" declare. The "null" in the text above is an auditor term for meter action, meaning "no reaction".

        Sec Checks contain inane questions such as "Have you ever enslaved a planet?" or "Do you have any evil thoughts toward L. Ron Hubbard?"

        The Joburg Confessional is designed to extract the "crimes" (real or imagined) of the victim. Rather than being concerned that SPs [Suppressive Persons] may blackmail his OSA agents, Hubbard has set up his OSA agents so that he can blackmail them if they ever defect. "High-toned" refers to the Scientology Tone Scale.

        Hubbard is issuing Executive Directives to GO/OSA.

        ...and it's official Church policy. Some "church", eh?

        1. What church needs "investigators"?
        2. What church needs to be sure these investigators cannot be blackmailed?
        3. Why would anyone want to blackmail a legitimate cleric acting in an official capacity?

        This line describes the Scientology management hierarchy:

        1. L. Ron Hubbard dictates to the Church of Scientology International.
        2. CSI dictates to Jane Kember (?) [Worldwide Guardian or head of G.O.].
        3. jk dictates to "ta", who is probably the person charged with typesetting this OSA Network Order. Note: typographical errors appear in the original.

        Hubbard is clearly controlling the actions of the Guardian's Office, despite Scientology's claims to the contrary during the Snow White trial. Hubbard also controlled the Office of Special Affairs.

        Why does a "church" have an organization to investigate the public?

        The LRH Library holds this work to be "unpublished" for the purposes of copyright law. According to 17 USC 303, unpublished works prior to 1978 (i.e. all GO documents except Order 40) receive protection under 17 USC 302 for 25 years after the author's death.

        In fact, this is an internal document that is distributed to every Office of Special Affairs recruit. The "unpublished" section of copyright law seems tailor-made for keeping information hidden from scrutiny:

        • The work is legally protected from being reproduced.
        • It avoids public disclosure of the work.
        • It is difficult to refute a charge of copyright infringement because the text cannot be compared to an authoritative source.

        The provision for unpublished works in the copyright law was not meant for hiding a work under a rock in perpetuity. The LRH Library uses this designation for legal harrassment; it is just one more charge which the hapless defendant must address and adds to the cost of litigation. Hubbard said "the purpose of the lawsuit is to harrass", not to win. Scientology punishes its critics by forcing them to pay exorbitant legal fees to defend themselves.
