THIRD PARTY
HOW TO FIND ONE

The way NOT to find a third party is to compile a questionnaire that asks one and all in various ways, “Have you been a VICTIM?” “Do you feel ARC broken about Ethics?”

Any officer, B of I or Comm Ev that uses this approach (1) does not find any third party and (2) caves in people.

A third party is ONE WHO BY FALSE REPORTS CREATES TROUBLE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, A PERSON AND A GROUP OR A GROUP AND ANOTHER GROUP.

To find a third party one has to ask:

1. a. Have you been told you were in bad?

b. What was said?

c. Who said it?

2. a. Have you been told someone was bad?

b. What was said?

c. Who said it?

3. a. Have you been told someone was doing wrong?

b. What was said?

c. Who said it?

4. a. Have you been told a group was bad?

b. What was said?

c. Who said it?

This is quite capable of running a couple light years of track so a questionnaire should have a limiter such as “In this organization ?”

This is also a considerable process! And it may have a lot of answers. So a lot of space should be left for each question.

By then combining names given, you have one name appearing far more often than the rest. This is done by counting names. You then investigate this person.

Usual action, if they are not an enemy, is to issue a Non-Enturbulation Order and say why.

The VICTIM-type questionnaire will only give you your most valuable executives! Who have been trying to get people to do their jobs!

We have had experience with this so IT IS A COMM-EV OFFENSE to use a VICTIM-type approach and say one is “looking for a third party.”

This PL is vital to HCO ES, HCO Secs, E/Os AND MISSIONAIRES.
