Department 3, Section 5

PUBLIC INVESTIGATION SECTION

 

[...]

The purpose of this section is:

"TO HELP LRH INVESTIGATE PUBLIC MATTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHICH SEEM TO IMPEDE HUMAN LIBERTY SO THAT SUCH MATTERS MAY BE EXPOSED AND TO FURNISH INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED IN GUIDING THE PROGRESS OF SCIENTOLOGY."

[...]

The statistic of the section is dual consisting of the number of cases successfully investigated on specific projects and the number of derogatory news stories appearing that week related to enemies of Scientology related to a specific project. The statistic of each individual investigator is the number of cases personally investigated to a completed useful report. These are reported to the HCO Advisory Committee and graphed each week. Production of the section is the number of cases in a project processed.

It will be seen that the section has all the useful functions of an intelligence and propaganda agency. It finds the data and sees that it gets action.

The determination of what a project is is simple - what agency or group is attacking Scientology? As Scientology stands for freedom, those who don't want freedom tend to attack it. The Section investigates the attacking group's individual members and sees that the results of the investigation get adequate legal action and publicity.

[...]

4. See that enough of the data is made available to the state or world agencies to obtain convictions.

5. See that excellent press coverage is given the disclosures over as long a period of time as possible.

6. See that HCO and Scientology are given full credit for protecting human rights and liberty.

[...]

PROCEDURES

Standard intelligence procedures are used.

[...]

The section should note that press and the public are interested in murder, assault, destruction, violence, sex and dishonesty in that order. Investigations which can uncover these factors in the activities of individuals of a group attacking Scientology are valuable in the degree that they contain a number of these factors. The more factors a case contains the more important the case is. The idea is that the press feeds on these factors and we feed them someone else's.

[...]

Associating the attacking group's activities with reprehensible groups in the past by using familiar descriptive words will be found very effective. For example, if the word "white" has been made hateful to the public by some past criminal group we use "white" in our descriptive terminology concerning the group that is attacking us and whom we are investigating. "Psychiatric blood sports" is an example, blood sports being lately very much derogated.

[...]

The action of the section is more than Scientology self-protection. As one holds up an image of freedom to the public the more suppressive groups and individuals in the society attack it. Hitler, for instance, would have attacked any group just because it was free. In that way we then get rid of suppressive groups by investigation and disclosure.

Section investigators would do well to study the technology on suppressive persons.

"SUPPRESSIVE PRESENCE: Mistakes or accidents or injuries occur in the presence of suppression. "

Assist Summary


"The [suppressive] person is in a mad, howling situation of some yesteryear and is "handling it" by committing overt acts today. I say condition of yesteryear but the case thinks it's today. ¶ Yes, you're right. They are nuts. The spin bins are full of either them or their victims. There's no other real psycho in a spin bin! ¶ What? That means we've cracked insanity itself ? That's right. And it's given us the key to the suppressive person and his or her effect on the environment. This is the multitude of "types" of insanity of the nineteenth century psychiatrist. All in one. Schizophrenia, paranoia, fancy names galore. Only one other type exists—the person the suppressive person got "at." This is the "manic-depressive" a type who is up one day and down the next. This is the potential trouble source gone mad. ¶ But these are in a minority in the spin bin, usually put there by suppressive persons and not crazy at all! The real mad ones are the suppressive persons. They are the only psychos. ¶ Oversimplification? No indeed. I can prove it! We could empty the spin bins now. If we want to. But we have better uses for technology than saving a lot of suppressive persons who themselves act only to scuttle the rest of us."
