IN ALL SUCH CASES
OF
ARREST FOR THE PRACTICE OF SCIENTOLOGY,
THE HASI WILL SEND A REPRESENTATIVE AT ONCE, BUT DO NOT WAIT FOR
HIS ARRIVAL TO PLACE THIS SUIT. THE SUIT MUST ALREADY HAVE BEEN
FILED WHEN THE HASI ATTORNEY ARRIVES.
In other words, do not,
at
any moment leave this act unpunished, for, if you do
you are harming all other Scientologists in the area. When you are attacked it
is your
responsibility then to secure from further attack not only yourself but all those
who
work with you. Cause blue flame to dance on the courthouse roof until everybody
has
apologized profusely for having dared to become so adventurous as to arrest a
Scientologist who, as a minister of the church, was going about his regular
duties.
As
far as the advices of attorneys go that you should not sue, that you should not
attack,
be aware of the fact that I, myself, in Wichita, Kansas, had the rather
interesting
experience of discovering that my attorney, employed by me and paid by me, had
been
for some three months in the employ of the people who were attacking me, and that
this attorney had collected some insignificant sum of money after I hired him,
by going
over to the enemy and acting upon their advices. This actually occurred, so
beware
of
attorneys who tell you not to sue. And I call to your attention the situation
of any
besieged fortress. If that fortress does not make sallies, does not send forth
patrols to
attack and harass, and does not utilize itself to make the besieging of it a
highly
dangerous occupation, that fortress may, and most often does, fall.
The
DEFENSE of anything is UNTENABLE. The only way to defend anything is
to ATTACK, and if you ever forget that, then you will lose every battle you are
ever
engaged in, whether it is in terms of personal conversation, public debate, or
a court of
law. NEVER BE INTERESTED IN CHARGES. DO, yourself, much MORE CHARG-
ING, and you will WIN. And the public, seeing that you won, will then have a
communication line to the effect that Scientologists WIN. Don't ever let them
have any
other thought than that Scientology takes all of its objectives.
Another point directly
in
the interest of keeping the general public to the general
public communication line in good odor: it is vitally important that a
Scientologist
put
into action and overtly keep in action Article 4 of the Code: "I pledge
myself
to
punish to the fullest extent of my power anyone misusing or degrading Scientology
to
harmful ends." The only way you can guarantee that Scientology will not be
degraded
or misused is to make sure that only those who are trained in it practice it.
If you find
somebody practicing Scientology who is not qualified, you should give them an
opportunity to be formally trained, at their expense, so that they will not abuse
and
degrade the subject. And you would not take as any substitute for formal training
any
amount of study.
You would therefore
delegate
to members of the HASI who are not otherwise
certified only those processes mentioned below, and would discourage them from
using
any other processes. More particularly, if you discovered that some group calling
itself
"precept processing" had set up and established a series of meetings
in your area, you
would do all you could to make things interesting for them. In view of the fact
that the
HASI holds the copyrights for all such material, and that a scientific
organization
of material can be copyrighted and is therefore owned, the least that could be
done to
such an area is the placement of a suit against them for using materials of
Scientology
without authority. Only a member of the HASI or a member of one of the churches
affiliated with the HASI has the authority to use this information. The
purpose of the
suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win.
The
law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody
who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized,
will
generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of
course,
ruin him
utterly.
