PTS SECTIONS, PERSONNEL AND EXECS

     An org has certain sections, units, personnel and executives who go PTS to
suppressive elements in the society.

[...]

     Thus Legal goes PTS being in contact with SP courts and with SP or PTS attorney
firms as well as confronting suppressives who are seeking to injure the org through
various suppressive actions.

[...]

HANDLING

     As one cannot easily disconnect from suppressive society points without leaving
the society, it remains that an executive must handle, if not the SP social groups, at
least the situation developing from them and into the org.

     Ideally one removes the SPs in the social groups. But where that is not possible
one can do several things:

a. Limit the number of org personnel such groups contact.

b. Give such org personnel as do contact such suppressive elements S & Ds
occasionally.

c. Change such personnel frequently.

d. Develop a system to restrain the SP from easily influencing such org
personnel as may remain in contact.

e. Work gradually but steadily into a position to be able to remove suppressives
from the social groups in question, such as becoming more influential as an
org, suing, exposing, public education and other means.

INDICATORS

     The first indicator an org executive has of a unit or staff member going PTS is
noncompliance. Such personnel are being overwhelmed in various ways by the SP
social groups and have no energy left to undertake their duties or forward org
programs.

     Another indicator is the amount of illness and lack of case progress on the part of
such PTS staff members.

[...]

     Staffs are so "reasonable" they think these SP group representatives are there for
necessary purposes or serve some purpose, or can be reasoned with—all of which is
nonsense.

     There are no good reporters. There are no good government or SP group agents.
The longer you try to be nice the worse off you will be. And the sooner one learns this
the happier he will be.

     Some staff member in such contact points in the org should be the only one who
handles and all other staff should be given chits for talking to such a person.

[...]

     SP's are at war. Pleasant conduct, mean conduct, any conduct at all is simply
more war. So wage the back action as a battle.

     In all the history of Scientology no interviewing reporter ever helped. They all
meant the worst when they acted their best and we are always sorry ever to have
spoken. Even if the reporter is all right, his newspaper isn't and will twist his story.

[...]

     These words may seem harsh and unreasonable, yet truth is truth and only when
we ignore it do we get fouled up.Agents from SP groups lead to PTS staff, units or
sections, leads to noncompliance, leads to a mess.

     It isn't just imagination that SPs attack Scientology. The evidence has been
around in plenty for 16 years.

[...]

Don't be nice. Limit their reach. And have less noncompliance and a far more effective
and happier org. After all, real suppressives only constitute about 2 ½ percent of the
total population. Why spend more than 2 ½ percent of your time on them?

     The whole stunt is realizing that certain groups are SP and recognizing them and
then handling them.
