    Mark Rathbunfact, he agreed with just about everything I told him aboutit. Spending time with my new family has taught me thatthe goals of Scientology are no t monopolized. It taughtme that there are other means to achieve those goals, andpeople were exemplifying that in their conduct in theworld. This lead to a curiosity about hO\v society andphilosophy and the study of the mind had evolved duringmy years within the machine. I read and read and readsome more. The more I read, the more I saw Scientologyas aligning with, agreeing with, and potentially having toolsthat could help \vith other bodies of \visdom and routes tohappiness and realization. I also began to see more clearlyhow Scientology Inc. had alienated and segregated itselffrom the rest of society, leaving the world at large with theinclination to steer clear ofScientology.

    I never preached Scientology to Monique. But, thesubject arose many times, when she would ask me about agood quality in me that she had noticed, which I wouldattribute to some aspect of Scientology. On threeoccasions I used simple Scientology techniques to preventillnesses from taking hold of Monique's body. Thisincreased her curiosity. The more she learned ofScientology from me, the more she considered that italigned with what she knew to be good, healing, andempowering.As we learned more of each other, I found that beneathMonique's courage, strength and \visdom she carried hurtand despair like everyone else. She reached for auditingand I provided it. I audited her up the Bridge, through theGrades and Dianetics to Clear. But I audited her up theBridge with absolutely none of the Black Dianeticsadditives that have been detailed throughout this book.No attempts were made to have her believe anything, noeffort was made to control her behavior and life, nothingwas done to get her to view people in any other way thanthe way she saw appropriate to view them. My goal wassolely to help her to recover more of herself, to assist her

    What Is WrongWith Scientologyto take of f those synthetic personality jackets that didn'tbelong to her inherently and were making heruncomfortable - just as Hubbard prescribed when hespoke directly of the actual auditing technology. Though Ihad audited many dozens of people in my time withinScientology Inc. (including virtually all of its A-list VIPs), itwas only during my auditing on the outside that I began totruly appreciate the power of the technology ofScientology.There was no limit to the effectiveness of Scientologywhen it was offered and delivered with the sole,unadulterated intent to service and to help. It wascompletely acceptable and understandable to people whenit was not marketed, sold, or covertly forced upon them.It enhanced and reinforced the good lessons that peoplelea.med from any number of sources, when it was not usedto dissuade people from listening to or learning from othersources. After another three years of deliveringScientology on the same basis to former members ofScientology Inc. and to people new to the subjectaltogether, those observations have been further validated.Scientology works wonderfully when it integrates withsociety, civilization, and the philosophies and religions ofothers. Scientology haims when it seeks to segregate fromsociety, civilization, and the philosophies and religions ofothers. I f Scientologists do not learn to integrate, they willdisintegrate as a potential meaningful influence.

    I f corporate Scientologists cannot wrap their witsaround thinking conceptually \vi.th the subject andintegrating with society, bu t instead feel they mustcontinue to act robotically, only according to literalconunands of L. Ron Hubbard, then a good start for themwould be to aspire to live literally by this central tenet ofHubbard's: "A being is only as valuable as he can serveothers."

    I f one truly attempted to live up to that maxim, he orshe might begin to see the light. To Sdentologists who canthink conceptually and have no t cut themselves of f from

    Independent Scientologists CommunitySeptember 26, 2009 7 CommentsI am confident that my friends who saw me evolve over the past coupleyears will attest that what I posted in February on my little web page wastrue. Particularly, the following description outlining my intentions andobjectives:"A lot of olks seem to be suffering from the inculcated idea that once theydepart or cease to slavishly follow every arbitrary dictate theyautomatically forfeit any spiritual gains they may have attained along theroad. Natively conscientious as most beings are, such an evaluation canbegin a pernicious dwindlng spiral ofself-invalidation and unhappiness. Iunderstand this phenomenon and the internal dichotomies extant withinthe organization that bring i t about. In the process of eversing the declinein myselfand in others certain lessons were learned that might be ofsomeassistance to those who have experienced the same." I offera simple program of ehabilitation ofpreviously recognized abilitiesand education on universal truths and principles ofspiritual growth. I donot offer a substitute fo r Scientology nor am in competition with theChurch. I am only offering to share all the skills I have learned - from awide variety ofsources - to help those in need who once formallyparticipated in Scientology but who now hold no hope nor intention ofeverseeking help from the Church. //

    I was on no mission to replace the Church or even the Church leadership.It was purely an offer to help those who had made the determination thatthey would never again seek help from the Church of Scientology; forwhatever reason.Within days of that posting I caught wind of Miscavige efforts to pull theplug on that offer of help. Church informants reported on some of thosewho initially reached out to me. Those people were intercepted andoffered large incentives to turn on me, turn over all communications withme, and to return under the control of the Church. When I did not attemptto compete for those souls, adhering to my word that I wasn't interestedin those even harboring a desire to remain under the control of Miscavige'soutfit, Miscavige had OSA send informants to try to infiltrate my home andlife.What I had posted was not a threat in any way, shape or form toMiscavige's fiefdom. It was never intended to be competion. I meant whatI explicitly stated about the category of people I was reaching out to.People that the Miscavige regime had zero interest in, other thanapparently, in keeping in a dormant, sleeping, effect state.His reaction confirmed what I believed to be true about Miscavige: thevery concept of anyone helping someone - particularly for no motive otherthan purely the desire to help one's fellows - was so abhorrent to him itcaused irrational impulses to stop and destroy. "Helping others is anactivity which drives the antisocial personality nearly berserk." - LRHSince that time a lot of water has passed under the Bridge. That includes alot of Miscavige generated toxic waste. That also includes a lot of pure,clean and beautiful outpouring of theta from folks who fit the exactdescription set forth in the italicized text above.Several people have challenged me to demonstrate that I am able to takeover Miscavige's position or to create an organization mirroring his. I donot have any desire to do either. Some people have criticized me ofirresponsibility for exposing the truth about Miscavige's church withoutoffering all the bells and whistles of Church membership they findcomforting or necessary. People who are in it for the bells and whistlesprobably ought to stay parked right where they are. Ultimately, they willbe served nothing but bells and whistles.

    I have learned quite a lot since February. First, there are far more peoplewho consider themselves Scientologists, or at least use what they learnedfrom Scientology in their every day lives, who fit the description of havingno intention of ever again being affiliated with the Church than I initiallythought was possible. Second, many of those people fear retribution ifthey publicly discuss their feelings on the subject. Third, many of thosepeople lead unhappy lives because they miss the ability to sharecommunity with others of similar philosophic disposition; a subset of thatgroup, may have also suffered financially by having to cut ties withbusiness networks they nurtured for many years. Fourth, some portion ofthat public are ill physically and spiritually because they have dwindleddown to apathy and below and found refuge with the only ex-Churchmember forums that have existed - ones that make anonymity and hidinga virtue, and make criticism an end, rather than a means to achieve anyimproved state of affairs.When I started blogging more and more people contacted me abouthelping them to reverse the spiral they found themselves on. In order tocope with such an overwhelming number of individuals, I began simplyconnecting former Church members up with similar thinking ones inproximity to one another. Lo and behold, such people began to report tome truly phenomenal phenomena. Here is a list of the types of things theyhave reported more than once:

    1. A rehabilitation of states attained in Scientology by simply havingsomeone acknowledge with reality what he or she has beenthrough.2. An enhancement in states attained through Scientology by nowreceiving regular acknowledgment of theta phenomena that up tothat point they had no one to share with who could truly understandand appreciate it. Sadly, many folks have reported being invalidatedby Scientology public and staff for such origins when they wereaffiliated with the Church.3. Feeling de-pts'd by virtue of feeling some strength in numbers -even if the increase went from one to two - and all that comes withthat.4. Physical disabilities healing. Not a bit surprising to me. In theChurch's "Freedom" magazine in response to the St Pete TimesTruth Rundown series, my former wife attributed a long list ofphysical problems I had the year I left the SO. It was one of the few

    relatively accurate statements of that scandal sheet. All of thoseailments rapidly resolved upon my cutting all connection to the SP.5. Great artistic, career, and or business opportunities suddenlyappearing, attributed by people reporting them to beginning tosocially network again with newly discovered friends sharing theirphilosophy.6. The increase in frequency of OT perceptics and abilities.

    I don't have ultimate answers to questions of how to set up widespread,uniform delivery of the tech, nor how to administer whatever form thatmight some day take. I don't even purport to have the background,training or experience to answer such questions.I do know that I have been working on an Ethics paradigm - sometimesreferred to as Ethics Program Number One. I do know that I have seenmany people rise from apathy and below to 4.0 and above on the ToneScale as they become de-PTSed from Miscavige's Church. Most of thosepeople never received a formal session nor even had the opportunity (yet)to meet in person. The several I have met in person tend to confirm myestimate that most folks reporting incredible gains by handling thesuppression in their lives are not exaggerating.I am of the view that those phenomena listed as 1-6 above have beensuppressed in Miscavige's Church. I do not have the slightest hesitation incontinuing to facilitate more free, independent Scientologists experiencingwhat appears to be the miracles attainable with the subject when studiedin the fashion Hubbard originally advised it be done. That is with a keen,critical, and independent mind. That increases the ability to as-is. Isn't thatwhat the entire aim of the subject is, to increase people's ability to as-is?Having operated with this viewpoint, I have been pleasantly surprised tolearn of another natural, positive byproduct of as-ising lies with truth andmaking it safe for the well intentioned to congregate and share ideas. Ihave learned that there are a number of very capable folks who areapproaching the subjects of tech and admin in the same fashion I havetried to approach Ethics. They are not motivated by money. They are notmotivated by fame. They are motivated purely by making it possible forothers to experience gains similar to their own.I believe that the behavioralism, twisted moralism, materialism andinduced fear of disclosure of confidences practiced as standard operating

    procedure in Miscavige's church are the reverse of Scientology. Thosepractices increase mental mass, and convince a person he needs tobecome a slave in order to become free. All too often, rather than increaseone's ability to as-is, it results in people who specialize in creating mentalmass for others (guilt, fears, self-invalidation, and for those who havebeen to Int for any substantial period, actual text book engrams).People who have simply exercised their abilities to be there andcomfortably confront when faced with Church intimidation tactics - andnot allowed themselves to be drawn into flash fights and the resultantcreation of ridges - have as-is'd the invaders. That has happened mostfrequently when the person being targeted by the Church has the comfortof knowing he has people who are behind him or her with unconditionallove. I t is quite remarkable.I am fairly certain that if a decent percentage of independentScientologists stand up, identify themselves, and freely associate with likeminded friends in the light of day at least three things will happen:

    a. Many individual lives will regain meaning. Many more lives still willreap the gains from each of us who independently and freely useScientology with no other motivation than to help others reachhigher states of beingness.b. Scientology (the subject and community) will experience arenaissance within society at large.c. Miscavige's church will be forced to either radically reform byreversing its suppressive operating bas is or face its inevitabledemise (note the intransitive is used; it is not because of anythingthat you or I will do to it that will cause it other than being theircomfortably - it will be a self-inflicted fate).

    At this point, at this Ethics stage, I am advocating that independentthinking Scientologists think ha rd about being proud of exercising theirindependence. That they make themselves known and use the title"Scientologist" without shame or embarrassment. That they createcommunity with other independent Scientologists and make it that muchsafer for those people to get their strength up and flourish. To the extentwe tip toe around imaginary egg shells, we are PTS. We cripple our own

    ability to as-is. If we walk tall, we rehabilitate one another's abilities to as-is. The Lord knows that this world could use some more of that.

    Afte r watching Clint Eastwood 's latest mas te rpiece Hereaft er las t night I was insp ired to o pen a newforu m. I highly reco mm end Hereafter to every Sciento log is t. There ar e many para llels in theexperience of the protagonis t (M a tt Damo n) to Sc icnt olog ists and other spiritua list s who perce ive andac t in th e th eta universe. Th e built-in prejudice and violent denial reac tio n to matters spiritual in thi sciv iliza tion was well portrayed . Doesn't ex ist? Then, why were Mose)' and I surve illed during the mov ieand a ll th e way ho me? Contemplating th e absurdi ty of such ex pens iv e spy ing at such an innoc uo useve nt , made me recognize that ultimate ly, th is is why Miscav ige spends millio ns in a tt empts to thwa rtus. I t is o ur recognitio n of th e th eta universe, our agreement to not inva lid ate perce ptio n of it , an d ouruse of Sciento logy to make it mo re rea l and permanent .

    Hereafter illustrates how lo nely and desperate li fe ca n b eco me for those who recognize the sp iritual inan environmen t that willfully re mains ignora nt of it. I t prompted me to rea lize the corporate church'swar has had its to ll. Wh en I am do ing wh at I do fo r a liYing, co unse l Scicnt olog is ts with Scientology, andI am in co mmunicat ion with th ose peo ple to who m I apply Scie nto logy, magica l things happe n qu itero utinely be twee n us. Telepathic co mmunica tions, effortless po stulate rea liza t io n, premonition s ofgrea t acc u racy, the power of ARC ove r great distances, yo u nam e it. At bo ttom I att ribute it tova lida tio n th ro ugh recognitio n of th eta and th e th eta univ ers e as t ra nscenden t to the physica l un iverse.

    Mos t important ly, th e mov ie a rt is tica lly rep rese n ted how as-isness occ urs when a person seeminglyalone with what the non-spiritually inclin ed write off as eth e real, nutty idea s unites with one or moreo th e rs who see wha t he sees .

    See th e mov ie, please .

    In the mea ntime, il.losey and I arc prep aring to move into new q ua rt er s down the ca nal from th e Shac k.We arc doing so in o rd er to be be tte r pre pa red to d eli \e r.

    10/11/13 Casablanca Tejas, poptdation 41 Mo\ing On Up a Little Higher"-

    As a coincidence, what goes on at Casablanca is much like the classic motion picture by the same name.All manner ofrefugee, patriot, spy, an d counter spy find neutral territory by which to make safepassage to freedom in Casablanca. In addition to delivery of services we'll cont inue to do what we can toget Lazlos on their flights. Besides, we all know now that I've been known to smoke and drink like Bogie.Ultimately, in addition to the playful nature of such titles, there is a long term purpose for dealing insuch parables publicly. This will become abundantly clear later this week.

    There is much to do on a number of fronts, offensive an d defensive, to assure the survival andexpansion of independence. And so Moving On Up A Little High e l' will continue to expand. Manydisparate viewpoints an d even reasonable amounts of antagonism will co n tinue to be entertained. But,in order to keep my focus - and others similarly inclined to keep theirs - and never again lose site ofwhat the real purpose of this movement is, I have created a new blog: Casablanca Tejas, athttp ://casablanca te jasmyblog.wordpres s.com/ . That forum is dedicated to people with a strong realityon the theta universe . I won't be allowing trolls, antagonists an d materialist commentary. I t isdedicated to the spiritual, wins in attaining that with Scientology and enhancing that with continuedstudy of wisdoms.

    Welcome to Casablanca!

    Reverse Scientology: HypnotismPosted on September 26, 2010 by martyrathbun09 I 372 CommentsA lot of people have noted that Misca\'ige's e\ents an d speeches are taking on more of an hypnotic sounding tone,and yet hi s sheep don't seem to notice. There are also many comments here wondeiing aloud how on ea1th koolaid drinkers can keep compulsively drinking kool aid in the face of the abuses escalating within the church. Ibelieve the following may shed a bi t of light on those concerns.

    David Miscavige developed a technique that he called "rolling thunder" for his event presentations. Mike Rinderan d others who worked on events over time can describe this far more competently than me since I was no t sointimately involved in the event evolutions as they were. But I know this much, Rolling thunder consisted of aseries of "facts" an d "stats" of the church - all exaggerated, an d some made up ou t of whole cloth - beingforcefully communicated to the audience an d accented with overwhelming and building music, lights an dgraphics being flashed in the recipients' faces - until the climax of an "applause line" is reached. "Rollingthunder" is consideredachieved if, an d only if, the entire crowd is swept to their feet in adoring, accepting, an drapturous AGREEMENT with the "applause line" of the speaker. Miscavige was obsessed with ensuring hi sspeeches in pa1ticular had several "rolling thunder" moments. Over the years, he weeded out th e involvement ofother speakers in the events until over the past few years there has only been one, David Miscavige. When youadd to the equation that virtually all church of Scientology staff have been forced, coerced an d conditioned intoimmed iately and savagely punishing th e slightes t indication of "doubt" about the infallibilityof David Miscavigethat manifests itself with any chu rch staff or public, you've got a pe1fect recipe for disaster. That is, mindcontrolling hypnotism on a mass scale.

    While reading a section of the Phoenix lecture - Axioms, Pait Ill, on the subject of how Scientology can bereversed to effectuate hypnotism - all of the above came back to me. I believe the following passage sheds lighton what Scientology public have been subjected to, increasingly, for the past twenty years in very regular,pred ictable in tervals.

    The whole ofexistence, actually, is ru11 very much like an hypnotic trallce. How do you hyptnotize somebody?Well, you get them to agree with you. Alld then you get them to agree with you a little bit more. Oh, mostpeople think that it's dolle by watches 01 something or other. It's llOt dolle that way. It's done il l a veryinteresting way.

    I don 't know much aboutWestem hypnotism. I myselfstudied hypllotism in the East and when I came over toAmerica again, I wondered what 011 earth this stra11ge practice was that these people were practicillg alldcalling hypnotism. Because it wasn't even vaguely what is taught il l the East to induce hw1ces. It's quiteremarkable that hypnotism is inducible on small 01 large groups.

    Now, the worse offa group is, which is to say, the less commu11icatio11 they have, achtally, the more Follow

    commu11icatio11 can befoJ'cecl upon them. And you can get a form ofhypnotism there. But the interestingthing is that they must have been prepared by an enormous number ofagreements before they got into thatstate. In other words, somebody else prepared them, so they didn't care who they agreed with after a while.

    Anybody in a uniform walks up to a soldier, if that uniform has a higher rank on, the soldier will obey them.Well, this is a farm ofhypnotism.Now, you can take an audience and simply get them to agree with you. And you get them ta agree more andmore and more and more and more and the next thing you know - and, by the way, when I say 'agree withyou', I mean you could get them to agree first that you were simply standing there.

    And then, the next thing that you could get them to agree to is thefact that they were listening to you. And thenyou would give them a few little things 011 which they would agree with. And the next thing you know, youcould tell them that the world was onffre and the audience would rush out to find out. Or maybe they just sitthere and bum. It's quite interesting. But you could move it out that way.

    Now, what is this all about? Does that mean that anybody bringing about an agreement would bring abouthypnotism? Oh no. The reason why in Scientology we do not bring about a hypnotism, even by OpeningProcedwe by Duplication - every Case V, that's had this run on him claims, it's a way to induce a trance - butevery single one of he tenets ofScientology could be reversed and with a bad intention, and so forth, could beworked out in the opposite direction.We are undoing the agreements which people have been making far 76 trillion years. Only we're undoingthem, so this makes themfreer and reer and reer.

    Now, show you this fellow on the stage who simply gets the audience to agree and agree and agree and ag1eeand then tells them the place is on fire. Oh? He isn't really going in the direction ofmaking them freer, is he?His i11te11tionfor this is entirely different.It isn't that intention is above agreement. It's that consideration is always above agreement. And he is tryingto work them into a situation where they will accept what he says without question. We're not interested inScientology, in anybody accepting what we say without question. We ask them to question it. We ask them toplease look at the physical universe around you, please look at people, at your own mind and understand,thereby, that what we are talking about happens to be actual. This is the series ofagreements. These aJ'e. Theyaren'tjustfancy ideas.

    Let us also consider the following facts. First, over the past thirty years the church's Bridge has altered to consiston average of more than fifty percent security checks. And those security checks are done within an imposedmores that considers the highest clime one can commit is to question the infallibility of David Miscavige.Second, over those same thirty years church staff have been pressured and coerced into immediately, andruthelessly, punishing anyone who might manifest the slightest doubt about the veracity of the utterances ofMiscavige. Third, RTC has been programmed to immediately target and destroy the life of anyone who daresreport on false reports delivered in events by Miscavige. Those are people who actually observed arrogantlyannounced Miscavige "facts" to not in fact exist in the physical universe. Fourth, church policy has evolved thathas any member seriously punished for exposing himself or herself to any source of information (by personalcontact, by way of media, or the internet) that does not agree with Miscavige's official state of Scientology

    Yeah, I still don't get it. Maybe I never will.

    crashingupwards ISeptember 26. 2010 a t 11:06 am IBfillliI think it takes more to come out of agreement than it does to go into agreement . Even those wholeft the church cling to many of the agreements we shared while inside. Which brings me to apoint.

    Why do some leave when others do not, given the same level of exposure to agreement/hypnosisovertime.

    I have always fe lt that it takes someone getting mistreated in order for the light to come on in theirhead. Then all the agreements are put on hold . They are not done away \ ~ t h , just given atemporary backseat.

    The mistreatment can be any number of things and we all know what it was that sent usindividually out the door or into this blog or some other venue.

    And to the extent the agreements we had built up over the years are still in force, such as "the techworks", LRH was a genius", "managment sucks", etc, we are still willing to beat those drums. Theagreements are st ill there.

    My point is people, especially public scientologists, "look" at this blog or at the st.pete times a1ticleor AC360 AFfER something happened. They will still have their agreements for the mos t pmt and Follow

    Tonight's reportPosted on April 23, 2010 by martyrathbun09 I 88 CommentsThe repo1t you will read tonight is living proof of the validity of a ve1y real concern that I expressed a year ago.I t was the prima1y reason I granted an interview with the SP Times.They did not print my reason, perhapsconcerned it was too inflammatory . I told CNN too; and they too were apparently afraid to run it. Fact of thematter is, I only gave the in terviews at thoses times because I had learned to what depths OM 's house ofhorrors had slid since I had left. After speaking to Tom Devocht, Mike Rinder and other (whose names muststill be protected) about what occured at Int after I had left , I was gravely concerned lives might be in danger. Itold the Times ana CNN, ana I'll tell you right now, I spoke in the ho es of preventing what I wasconcerned might dete1iorate into a Jonestown situation. I predicted that, left to his own devices, OM could verywell become homicidal (in fact all"eady was, bu t it might grow to overcome any restraint he was able to musterfrom fully dramatizing it). I doubted that he would have the common decency to do himself in to protectothers; but instead wo uld go down in a hail of bullets in response to his own hail murdering as many"treasonous bastards" as he could take down. In my tonight's rep01t confirms my concerns. Think aboutthe Wild Animal Reaction OfThe Missed Withhold. That is understandable, pa1ticularly when one knows - as Ido and he does - what we are b1inging to light over the next several months. Now, consider that OM plannedout today's events, with lengthy and meticulous b1iefings for days in advance. Think about the mind that wouldso act . I've studied Koresh and Jones. They were Boy Scouts compared to Miscavige at similar stages in theircareers.

    ARC is sacredPosted on December 6. 2009 by martvrathbun09 I 46 CommentsThanks to Old Auditor I now have a brand new set of the Management Series volumes. Look what jumped offthe pages of the first PL in the first volume!

    LRH from An Essay On Management (g January 1951):

    He wh o holds the power of a11 orga11ization is that person who holds its co111111unicatio11 li11es a11d who is acrossroad of co1nn1unications. Therefore, in a true group, conununications and co1111nunications lines shouldbe a11d are sacred. Co111111unicatio11 lines are sacred. They have been considered so i11stinctively since the oldestages of 111a11. Messe11gers, heralds a11d riders have bee11 the object of the greatest care eve11 betwee11 combata11ts011 e11MESTmissio11s. Priesthoods hold their power through posti11g or being co111111u11icatio11 relay poi11tsbetween gods and nten. And eve111nost governn1ents consider cults sacred. Communication lines are sacreda11d who would interrupt or pervert a co111n!llnication li11e withi11 a group is entitled to gmup death - exile.A11d that usually happens as a natural course of events. Comn11micatio11 lines are sacred. They 111ust 11ot beused as cha1111els of viciousness a11d entheta. They nlllst no t be twisted or perverted. They must no t be gluttedwith 111a11y words a11d little mea11ing. They must 11ot be severed. They must be established wherever acommunication line see111s to iuant to exist or is needed.

    The most vital li11es ofa group me no t operational lines, although this may appear so to management. Theyare the theta lines between any theta and the group and the goal ma ker and the group. Management thattampers with these lines in any way will destroy itself. These actually have tension and explosion i11 them. It isas inevitable as nightfall that these lines will explode, when tampered with, at the exact point of he tampering.This is a natural law ofcommunication lines.

    A line is as dangerous to tamper with as it has truth in its channel. It is safe and even preserving of a line tocut it when it contains en theta. Fol' example when a true line is wt, it charges a little powe1 into the cutter andhe has autlwrityfor a moment thereby. But it is only the authol'ity of he cut line. I f he line is thus made toperish, the cutter loses hi s authority. If there is much truth in that line, it does not give authol'ity to the cutter,it explodes him.

    A group has the right to exile anyone it discovers to be guilty of ampering with any communication line.

    A management which will pel'vert an affinity 01 sever one may gain a mo111enta1y power bu t the laws here arethe same as those relating to commun ication and an affinihJ tampered with will lower the tone of a group.

    A management which will pervert 01 suppress a reality, 1w matter how "reasonable" the act seems, is acting inthe direc tion of he destruction ofa group. It is no t what management thinks the group 01 the goal makershould know, it is what is tl'ue. A pri111a1yft111ction is the discovery and publication, in th e briefestfor111 whichwill admit the whole force of the data, the 1ea lity ofall existing cil'cumstances, sittrntions and personnel. Amanagement which will hide data, even in th e hope of sparing someone's fe elings, is operati11g toward adecline of he group.

    A hue group must have a management which deals in affinity, realih.J and com 111tmicatio11 a11d any gmup istotally within its rights, whe11 a full and reasonable examination discloses management in fault ofpervertingor cutting ARC, ofslaughtering, exiling or suspending that management. ARC is sacred.

    Know your rightsPosted on August 26. 2010 by martyrathbun09 I 220 Comments

    To: Executives and staff of Int, Gold, OSA, etcKnow your rights.

    I know you have heard horrific things about how former staff who left the church with evidence in theirpossession will be prosecuted. You should know that that is propaganda.

    That propaganda is directed to one public and one public alone: YOU.

    And it is FALSE PROPAGANDA.

    The intent of the propaganda is the same intent behind forcing you to periodically sign five year employmentcontracts which make you think you have signed your rights to free speech away.

    The purpose is to keep you in a state of electrified fear of ever even thinking a negative thought about DavidMiscavige and his rein of terror, let alone ever doing anything about it.Now, let's get to those rights of yours that you probably don't know about.

    In the United States of America, and in most civilized nations, one cannot sign away his or her freedom ofspeech. The fiats of David Miscavige do not trump the Bill or Rights nor the Universal Declaration of HumanRights. Miscavige's bloviating does not even have the slightest effect upon sett led California case law.So, no matter what you have signed or been told to the contra1y, recognize it has no effect upon the follo\-vingsettled law:I f you harbor intentions to leave, and you have a reasonable belief that the church might pursue you in order tocoerce you to return to some form of environment where you lack the freedom of movement, speech, orassociation you lrnve the right to take with you evidence tha t suppo1ts that belief.

    If you believe people who were once in your position, who have already left, are being attacked by the church inorder to coerce them into giving up any of their rights to free movement, speech or association, you hm e theright to take with you evidence of infringement of such rights.

    your rights IMoving On Up a Little Higher http:// markrathbtm.wordpress .conv20 I 0/08/ 26/know-you

    (

    I f you are leaving because you reasonably believe you have witnessed crimes against persons or acts that havedenied people thei r God-given rights to freedom of speech, movement, or association then you are \\ithin yourrights to take with you e\idence of those crimes and/or denials of Civil and Human Rights.I f any doubt exists as to whether you will be protected should you choose to exercise these rights, I personallyguarantee you_Qrotcction. The legal minds available to protect your rights on the outside make Misca\ige'soverpaid criminal cover-up artists look like the pikers they arc .Miscmige is less and less seen by the average staff member because he is figuratively burrowing himselffmther and fmther into his Hitleri.an bunker. He has good reason to choose his ground hog strategy.His rein of terror is under intense scrntiny by people who make their lives' work to end effective slavery andmafia-like intimidation tactics by dictators.

    Which leads to the next bit of propaganda you would be ill-served to heed. That is the notion being broadcast\\ithin that Misca\ige is being hunted by the forces of evil on the planet. Quite the contra1y, those investigatinghim fitmly hold to the view that Scientology is a religion entitled to its own protections under the FirstAmendment to the United States Constitution.

    The fact of the matter is the biggest threat to the ,;ability of those protections for the future is Misca,ige'scontinuous crimes committed in the name of the religion.

    Think about it.Or, if you cannot confront thoughts along those lines, tty not to think about it.
