Listen here, and listen well - the Capricorn Document was one of the most valuable things posted here. (Thanks, Capricorn). The point is not whether the CoS are going to do a RICO campaign, or not, etc, etc - THE most valuable information was in revealing their strategy for cultivating hatred. For provoking people into saying things that are rash. As an ex-auditor, I learnt the basics for auditing. I'm not going to get technical here, I have no time to translate. Remember, whether you think the auditing is a load of bologna or not, Hubbard was able to manipulate and control people. That is a FACT. And, there are several recognised techniques for "driving up the TA" - or getting the person furious. These techniques were considered crimes, bad things to happen in an auditing session. However, I have personally observed Woody use them here, on people in ars. These may sound like no big deal, but take a moment to think about it - they're so simple, but they work every time, if the person is not aware of them. - Ignore completely what a person is saying. - Twist what they say to make it sound like something else, and stick to that - the person will get furious at being permanently misunderstood. - Take what the person says, and make nothing of it - Interrupt a person constantly while they are trying to say something - in an electronic medium, that would mean snipping the text and focusing on some obscure point, and not the basic gist of the message. Now before you laugh, think well on those. Try it in a conversatiuon with a friend, and watch them froth. I concur completely with the statements made by Capricorn - the CoS is now going all out to manufacture as MUCH hate as possible. Which is why, when giving vent to your anger, it is essential you STATE THE REASON WHY. In 1992, The CoS published a book called "Hate and Propoganda - the anatomy of hate". A very revealing book, I don't have it with me right now, but see if you can get hold of it. It was published as a counter-propganda measure against the assault it was receiving in Germany. Now, while the obvious techniques were laughable, and transparent (pages of pictures drawing parallels between the Nazi depiction of Jews, and the critics depiction of Scientologists, unflattering pictures of German politicians who were opposed to the CoS, cries of how Scientologists were receiving death threats, etc), the documentation of how INDIVIDUAL Scientologists were being persecuted was THE most effective thing. Plus a long list of various Human Rights Commissions over the world where Scientologists could write, to voice their outrage at the PERSECUTION of Scientolgists. That's quite smart. Don't worry, governments have done this sort of thing too. It's not a new technique. It's just a hell of a surprise to find an organisation that calls itself a religious organisation, using these, and other techniques. The individual Scientologists are often just the cannon fodder behind which RTC hides. They are often decent people, as I have stated in previous posts, who are uninformed, or trapped, or afraid, or just love the religion. I stress again THEY ARE NOT THE TARGET. They are humans. The TARGET IS: the RTC and the METHODS they use. Stick to that, always, and no amount of manufactured lying by Church representatives will be able to get around that. And notice THIS: Whenever anyone is getting close to revealing any of the REAL issues, which the Church does NOT want the public to know about - they get raided, or litigated against, ANYTHING to silence them. Witness how close Larry and Bob are. The Church's strategy is always to go for the "source" which is often, the most intelligent, and most close to the truth - so, they don't worry about the public outrage. The RTC have very little humanity left in them - so don't think for a minute that you are dealing with normal people here - who will feel pain, or respond to other's opinions of them - they LAUGH in the face of public outrage. You are dealing with cold, unfeeling machines, perfect computing machines, who view the world and people as one big "Re-active Mind". Look well on this image, for THAT is the face of the monster we are fighting. Keep that image in mind whenever you post - always see beyond individual Scientologist who posts, the HUMAN. They may have to a greater, or lesser degree, the Cold Dark Monster in them, but they did NOT create it. I know, I have been there. I went into the heart of darkness, and saw pure evil. And I came back. k.b.
