That would be the 1959 HCO Manual of Justice. ======= INVESTIGATlON When things go wrong and we don't know why already by intelligence, we resort to investigation. When we need somebody haunted we investigate. Investigation is the careful discovery and sorting of facts. Without good investigation we don't have justice, we have random vengeance. When we investigate we do so noisily always. And usually mere investigation damps out the trouble even when we discover no really pertinent facts. Remember that - by investigation alone we can curb pushes and crush wildcat people and unethical "Dianetics and Scientology" organizations. It's almost funny. We sometimes learn nothing useful and yet because people heard we were investigating their consciences sent them into headlong flight or sudden collapse. There's power in the question alone! Here is an example. There's bad morale in a central organization. We don't know why. We try everything we can to up units and ease difficulties and yet there's bad moralle .So we investigate noisily. Remember, intelligence we get with a whisper. Investigation we do with a yell. Always. Modern cops don't really know this. They investigate with whispers. Doesn't pay. Why sneak up when pouncing is the only thing that serves us? After all, if it hasn't been whispered to us already and we have to investigate why keep whlspering? In the low morale matter, we think over the most likely suspects and summon them to see us. We ask them why they're talking the way they are. What's wrong anyway? We call them in one at a time. We use the E-meter. "What have you been doing to us?" And you sort it out. Investigation to us in Scientology is a fine art. It's like auditing. It they won't take a meter test, you know they're guilty. If they do, you can watch that needle dip a "Yes" every tirne you're right even when the suspect won't say anything verbally. You generally find that Joe is hoping to start a clinic in the town and thinks of the organization as a rival - if the central organization got knocked out, this knucklehead thinks, he'd be all set. So he's been diacouraging staff and starting rumours in the town. Did you ever realize that any local viciousness against Scientology organizations is started by somebody for a purpose? Well, it is. Look at what we do. Look how dedicated staff is. How hard they work. And yet somebody feels we're evil? No, rumours aren't "natural". When you run them down you find a Commie or a millionaire who wants us dead anl his own clinic up or a group member who is also a member of the R.C. You don't rest when bad rumours are about. You investigate, you run them down. You find amongst ail our decent peopie some low worm who has been promised high position and pay if we fail. Don't discount this. In one instance $500, 000 was paid in cash to a man to wreck Dianetics. He almost made it. Wichita Kansas, Spring 1952. (But by intelligence and investigation we cost him his shirt and his spare vest as well.) In cross questioning people, it is as valuable to know what they've been told as what they've said. "What bad things have you heard about the HASI?" and 'What have you said?" are the usual questions. When you get on a line of data follow it right through. Get the names. Write them down as you get them. Sort them out with what you aiready know about them. Also, when in daily actlons, remember this: never let anybody EVER say to you "Everybody says" or "Everybody thinks'' or "The field thinks '. Demand it once who, when, where, and what. "Everybody" turns out to be some nut most people would laugh at and "the field" becomes one sour grape that flunked his HPA two years ago. In the first place. the mail even as a whole does not reflect field opinion ever. It's only the opinion of people who write in - and that's only a small part of the field. Never permit a source of entheta to be generalized. If it's entheta, you want who, what. where, when, and you write it down and file it. The whole field less one man could be wildly for you but staff can believe this silly fool is PUBLlC OPINION. Public opinion isn't newspapers or magazines or letters. It is attendance, balance sheets, book sales. Therefore investigation must always be aimed at the specific person, the time and the place. Else you'll sink in a morass of generality and get nowhere. When you have found your culprit, go to the next step, Judgement and Punishment. INVESTIGATION BY OUTSIDE SOURCES Overt investigation of someone or something attacking us by an outside detective agency should be done more often and hang the expense. It's very effective. Often investigation by a private detective has alone closed up an entheta source or a squirrel organisation. In fact at this writing I can't remember a time when it hasn't! The reason for this is simple. Of twenty-one persons found attacking Dianetics and Scientology with rumours and entheta, eighteen of them under investigation were found to be members of the Communist Party or criminals, usually both. The smell of police or private detectives caused them to fly, to close down, to confess. Hire them and damn the cost when you need to. ======== This from a group that claims to be a religion. I think that GM and Ford should also apply for that status in the US. Mike
