OSA Network Order 9

      :                  _DEFINITION_OF_INTELLIGENCE_
      


        Ewww! This one is HIGHLY confidential.

        A definition is confidential?!? What could be the reason behind making a _definition_ of "intelligence" confidential? Why does a 501(c)(3) organization have "confidential" information? Could this document have been declared highly confidential in an attempt to hide what Hubbard and Scientology are doing?

      :           (Taken from an LRH despatch, written on
      :            25 February 1968.  Issued as an OSA NW Order
      :            on 5 February 1988.)
      


        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. This GO despatch[sic] has been recycled into an OSA Network Order - clear proof that OSA rose from the ashes of the G.O.

      :     _Intelligence is the process of informing one's command
      : area of the plans, characteristics and crimes of all
      : opponents to one's own activity and purpose._
      


        Why does a church have "command areas"? Why does a church's "command areas" need to be informed of "crimes" and plans and characteristics of their "opponents"? For that matter, why would a church have "opponents" in the first place?

        Hubbard is operating a military organization under the cloak of religion. It is not "religious bigotry" to oppose a para-military organization.

        Hubbard issues GO orders.

        Why does a "church" need an official policy regarding "intelligence"?

        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.

        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.
