      :         (Originally an LRH OODs item of 12 November
      :          1968. Issued as an OSA NW Order on 10 December 1987.)
      


        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.

        An OOD (Order of the Day?) from during the GO days indicates that Hubbard was in direct control of the G.O.

        Ron's Journal '67 is full of paranoid dreck. The reference sets up the reader to accept the paranoid dreck that follows. RJ'67 was written at a time when the "troops" needed to be rallied around The Cause. It variously contains paranoid conspiracy ravings, announcements about new "research" and "breakthroughs", and other fatherly advice from Ron.

        So Hubbard has finally discovered who Scientology's enemies are, eh? Every year or so during his mid-60s paranoid period, Hubbard would announce "exactly" who the "Who" was. Of course, Hubbard fails to name the names. In other words, he didn't have a clue but it sounded good to the troops.

        According to Hubbard, the first step in dealing with anybody suppressing Scientology is to find the WHO. Scientology blames their failure to Clear the Planet on not properly identifying the WHO. Anonymous remailers drive OSA nuts - they are frozen on Step 1 (find the WHO) and can't proceed to step 2, so the attack remains "unhandled".

        Hubbard is talking about psychiatry of course, the arch-nemesis of Scientology. Here's some pretzel-logic: "Since Scientology is 'THE REAL ANSWER' then the PsychZombieDrugLordz are attacking us so they can protect their revenue". Hubbard embellishes with "torture" and "killing"; the Lisa McPherson debacle is an example of becoming that which you oppose.

        In truth, the "psyches" had been ignoring Hubbard since shortly after he first penned Dianetics. This hurt Hubbard deeply and he started a lifelong quest tilting at this windmill. He managed to take his entire "church" along with him on this campaign.

        What organization moved their headquarters in 1967-68? Does anyone have any idea what Hubbard is talking about?

        Hubbard rallies the troops by making the [unfounded] assertion that public opinion is becoming more favorable to Scientology. His talk about not yet "mount[ing] a real offensive" lends an air of legitimacy to his assumed rank of Commodore, his Sea Org psuedo-navy, and his OSA volunteer spy network.

        Hubbard fancied himself to be a military commander. His use of psuedo-military jargon occurs elsewhere in his writings. His actual command of a small ship in the US Navy during WWII resulted in an island off Mexico being fired upon, nearly causing a diplomatic incident.

      : 
      :      This is turning out to be a bitter and fundamental war.
      : The forces which seek to bring light and freedom to the world
      : - us - have run squarely into the # 1 engram of the planet,
      : kept alive by a dark and secret enemy of Mankind.  These
      : insist on torturing or killing the insane.
      


        Here we have a repeated assertion - that Scientology is THE ANSWER, and those opposed to us are a conspiracy ("dark and secret enemy") of psychiatrists who are "torturing or killing the insane". Again Hubbard accuses others of what his own organization does (i.e. Lisa McPherson, who died at the hands of Flag Service Org during a "psychotic break" [nervous breakdown]).

        Hubbard here compares the EvilPsychZombieDrugLordz boogey-man to Hitler, which is consistent with OSA Network Order 15, Black Propaganda, i.e. associate your enemy with an enemy of society.

        Tell it to Lisa, Ron. Scientology followed 100% Standard Tek at Flag Service Organization, Mecca of Technical Perfection, and she died. The problem with Scientology is that it pushes quack medical cures without the benefit of medical doctors monitoring the "patient". At least psychiatrists are backed up by the latest in medical science. When things go wrong at Flag, there is no safety net to catch the mistakes. People have gone insane from Scientology procedures. When they do, they are put on the Introspection Rundown and watched by medically-unqualified (but caring) people.

        Do Scientologists even think twice when L Ron makes such absurd statements? This kind of black-and-white statement demonstrates that Hubbard is talking to a thought-stopped audience.

        Ron conveniently forgets that Scientology treats PTS-III (psychotic break, aka insane) people. Is this a cancellation of the Introspection Rundown, Ron? I sure hope so - that part of the Tech needs to be cancelled before anyone else dies.

      : 
      :      But they attacked us, for no reason except their own
      : fear.  I regret they appointed us their executioners.  There
      : are so many other pleasant things to do.
      


        Ron waxes melodramatic. Hubbard has "mocked up" (imagined) an enemy and now "dramatizes" (takes action) against it. I hope somebody alerts the psychiatrists that Scientology considers itself to be their "executioner".

        Hubbard often used a style of single-sentence paragraphs. Perhaps Hubbard used this style to e-m-p-h-a-s-i-z-e   e-v-e-r-y   t-h-o-u-g-h-t. Perhaps Hubbard, in a holdover from his previous career as a penny-a-word sci-fi writer, couldn't be bothered to back up and edit for readability. Another possibility is that Hubbard had difficulty grouping his thoughts into a coherent paragraph that didn't meander like a small stream on a flat plain - putting one sentence in each paragraph solves this coherency problem.

        Here is more eeevil conspiracy. Hubbard believed that the psychs, the government, and the press (to name a few) were working together to destroy Scientology. Hubbard declared his Tech to be infallible, so Scientology's troubles were obviously coming from The Outside.

        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.

        Does anybody know what Ron is talking about? Ron describes a Suppressive (among other things) as someone who speaks in generalities. This is about as general as it gets. Who is "he"? Where are his headquarters? When did the headquarters move? What organization is he talking about? Is it the ARSCC (wdne)?

        As always, close with bravado. The troops (and Ron) need to think someone is in charge. Always emphasize urgency to keep the troops in a state of emergency.

        Scientology lawyers in the Snow White trial said that Hubbard wasn't involved in the GO. MarySue and other "suppressives" took the fall for Snow White.

        But here, Ron is issuing OODs to G.O. Nice guy, eh?

        And it's official church policy as well, not just Ron talking. Uh huh.

        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.
