Hubbard's "Fair Game" Policy for Enemies...

[RS Davis]

This is the memo detailing L Ron Hubbard's orders for how to deal with enemies of Scientology (called "suppressives"). Thanks to Operation Clambake for all this great info that I lifted straight from their site, including the editorial comments below:

When brought up, they often try to change the subject and for example attack you, asking what criminal acts you have on your conscience or if you are payed by the drug cartells or something. According to Scientology all critics of Scientology are criminals, that's why they are critics. Nice logic. This is only standard Scientology tech, it's part of the training they have payed a fortune to learn. Hubbard said so, period.

A Second Opinion! If you manage to see through their stupid personal attacks and desperate distractions, you may manage to force them to ward it off by telling you the Fair Game policy letter was cancelled in 1968. But keep in mind that Scientologists are trained to lie and never defend, always attack (and generate money).

I got the actual cancellation letter they refer to right here:

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex

HCO Policy Letter of 21 October 1968

CANCELLATION OF FAIR GAME


The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease.

FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations.

This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP.

Comments:

Jon Atack writes in "The cancellation of Fair Game":

• 77. In Wollersheim v. Church of Scientology of California (the "mother church" of the Churches of Scientology at the time the suit was filed), the California Appeal Court ruled, in a decision upheld by the US Supreme Court: "Wollersheim was compelled to abandon his wife and his family through the policy of disconnect. When his mental illness reached such a level he actively planned his suicide, he was forbidden to seek professional help. Finally, when Wollersheim was able to leave the Church, it subjected him to financial ruin through its policy of 'fair game'." (JCA-147, pp.A-7, 15 & 16). At appeal, Scientology asserted that "fair game" was a "core practice of Scientology", and therefore protected as "religious expression". This position was also made on behalf of Scientology in the case against Gerald Armstrong, in 1984, by religious expert Dr. Frank Flinn (JCA-45).
