L. Ron Hubbard vs A New World Order 

On this page I assembled information found in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard somehow relating to the viewpoint of a New Word Order concept. Is it possible that various matters and happenings can have been staged in order to misrepresent and discredit the subject matter of Scientology?

An introduction ... (and a few selections from lectures)

“Neglect of this PL* has caused great hardship on staffs, has cost countless millions and made it necessary in 1970 to engage in an all-out, international effort to restore basic Scientology over the world. Within 5 years after the issue of this PL, with me off the lines, violation had almost destroyed orgs.”          LRH
(from HCO PL 7 Feb 65 “Keeping Scientology Working”)

The above quotation is part of the text added in its reissue of 15 Jun ’70. It focuses on what had happened to the organization with L. Ron Hubbard “off the lines”. There have been additional reissues in 1973 & 1980. 25 years have past since L. Ron Hubbard went “off the lines”, what can we expect to have happened since then?

While addressing the various topics and angles that in some way relate to these matters in this topic I have attempted to ask logical questions concerning these topics of which I do not have all the answers. The reader should understand very well that it is not my intent to propose any final conclusion about anything. Basically all I am doing here is drawing attention to inconsistencies found and an attempt to analyze and/or explain them. I simply put matters to the test. I challenge and see how they could be interpreted. If you have anything to add, comment, or to rectify, feel free to contact me about it!

	“And as I look into the future, I see that we are handling here, material of a potential control and command over mankind which must not be permitted at any time to become the monopoly or the tool of the few to the danger and disaster of the many. ...
	And I believe that the freedom of the material which we know and understand is guaranteed only by a lightness of organization, a maximum of people, good training and good, reliable, sound relay of information. And if we can do these things, we will win. But if we can't do these things, sooner or later the information which we hold will become the property of an untrustworthy few. This I am sure, because it has always happened this way. ...”          LRH (from Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress lecture #15 “What Scientology Is Doing – Organizations, The Control & Division of Man”, given on 6 Jun 55)

	“But there's something that can be substituted for total ignorance and that is false data. And false data is probably a much more effective means of denying freedom.
	One of the ways of going about false data, for instance: The fellow wants to get out of the woods and there are two trails. And one trail lies much deeper into the woods and the other trail goes out on to the plain. And all you have to do is put up a sign at the crossroads and point to that trail which goes deeper into the woods and say, ‘This way lies freedom,’ you see, and you've promptly trapped a lot of people.
	And that is such an easy action that when it is added to the fact that everybody is sort of mired down in their favorite fixated data, this can become quite a vicious morass. The trick is, then, to find the exact mechanics—the exact, precise mechanics which apply to all minds.
	Now, the moment you have found the exact, precise mechanics which apply to all minds, you can then get a broad agreement on the situation because they override the minor data on which the people are fixated. In other words, they also would have this broader perimeter of data and they'd recognize the truth in the broader perimeter of data. But the moment that you move even a sixteenth of a millimeter sideways off of what is generally applicable to all minds, you are again into the particularities and opinions. So therefore, if you had a broad sphere of knowledge which was true, and these were all high generalities and everybody would agree with them, frankly it would be very easy to bankrupt and upset that whole operation by taking it, and by false relay—you see, bad instruction and bad relay of the material, and dropping out a datum here and a vital datum there, and substituting something or other—you eventually could then again effect a sort of a slavery out of that information.”          LRH (from Saint Hill Special Briefing Course lecture #308, renumbered 1991: #338 “Saint Hill Service Facsimile Handling”, given on 18 Sept 63)

“Now there've been people on the line who have put out re-written bulletins and things like that, and there is a re-written bulletin which shows just that happening. But that is bonkers! So we can assume that people who are a bit inclined to malign, knock apart and shoot the human race, and have that as their only goal, can get into Scientology and can remove things from the technical line, or pervert or alter things in the technical line, which then makes Scientology unworkable.”          LRH (from Class VIII Course lecture #1, “An Introduction to Standard Tech” given on 24 Sept 68)

‘New World Order’ concept explained and ‘Ron's Journal 67’

Now what is New World Order for something? If you ever read George Orwell's book “1984” you probably would have some idea about how this could be. A dark vision about totalitarian world domination controlled by some Big Brother. The basic concept is that only a few individuals would be able to rule everything on this planet, a kind of Nazi regime or police state you might say. Now this is only possible if you create some kind of central control unit, this unit then has the sole power to control, change, or do anything they would set their mind to. Any opposition would be wiped out immediately as this central control unit would control all of the military and police force and so on. This central control unit would naturally also be in total control all of the banks and its debt/interest system. This group being in control then who would look upon themselves as being the enlightened ones is often referred to as ‘The Illuminati’.

To read more about all this:
The New World Order (NWO) - An Overview (external link) (last checked: 10 Apr 2013). Additional links are found on my linkspage (separate window), for further study of the subject.

	“Our enemies on this planet are less than 12 men. They are members of the Bank of England and other higher financial circles. They own and control newspaper chains and they are oddly enough directors in all the Mental Health groups in the world which have sprung up. Now these chaps are very interesting fellows. They have fantastically corrupt backgrounds, illegitimate children, government graft, a very unsavoury lot. And they apparently some time in the rather distant past had determined upon a course of action. Being in control of most of the gold supplies of the planet they entered upon a program of bringing every government to bankruptcy and under their thumb, so that no government would be able to act politically without their permission. ...
	Anyway, these fellows have gotten nearly every government in the world to owe them considerable quantities of money through various chicaneries. And they control, of course, income tax, government finance.... Wilson for instance, the current Premier of England, is totally involved with these fellows and talks about nothing else actually.
	They organized these mental health groups which sprang up simultaneously all over the world and anything that has mental health in it, in its name, or mental hygiene, or other things of that character, such names as that are all part of the organization which stems from these, less than a dozen really, men.”          LRH  (from Ron's Journal 67, recorded 20 Sept 67)

	Sound snippet
	A longer quotation from this recording is found here (pop-up window).

“A Story” (ca. 1952)

	“Wow, I am so glad you sent this to me... They have ALTERED it, BIG time..
	The only copy I ever saw, was at Flag in 1980. It was in his own handwriting. He had written it in the late 50's or early 60's.
	I remember what struck me was the bit about they took and imprisoned his WIFE. And I remember thinking how did he know this way back then... (When Nancy read A Story in 1980 - Mary Sue had just been sentenced to prison.)
	So, RTC has changed WIFE to Captain. And omitted the paragraph about how the man was isolated from his family and his children were treated poorly.
	And then they completely omitted the ending...
	Because in the ending I saw in LRH's handwriting there is justice... and the golden balls become FREE...
	Nancy”

	“More recall...
	I remember that some people got control of the golden ball for themselves. I remember that the man was kept isolated from his family, his wife went to jail, his children were not treated well.
	And darkness fell across the land for a long time... But the Ending - well that's the part I wanted to find the story for...
	I do know there was a bit of a battle for control but that there was a happy ending.
	And lightness and happiness won out... The Golden balls were free in the end...
	Nancy”

Of course these messages can not be verified for their accuracy, however I forward it here simply because it nonetheless offers some interesting views. It is presented as-is.

Philadelphia Doctorate Course (PDC) - 1952-53

	“Just prior to December, The Hubbard Foundation at 237 North 16th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was a buzz of activity preparing for L. Ron Hubbard's arrival by plane from London. New tile was being laid in the first floor and movie theatre seats had been purchased and repainted for the students who would be attending the lectures on the second floor.
	Ron arrived in Philadelphia several days before the lectures began. The lectures were delivered three evenings and six afternoons each week. He stood behind a raised podium, facing a spotlight that was located near the ceiling in the back of the room. The lectures were illustrated by Ron using large red and black crayons on an enormous pad firmly hung on the wall behind the lecture platform.
	At these lectures were many people who had heard Ron lecture often in Wichita and Phoenix but none of them, or any of the other students for that matter, were prepared for the astounding data and OT cognition's that characterized each lecture. These lectures were truly the first of their kind.”
	(from Promo sheet for the 1982 release on cassette of these PDC lectures)

Today these tape lectures still endure this same distinguished reputation. They were first released on a broad scale on reel to reel in 1972 (62 lectures on 31 reels), the lecture charts were also released in that year. A special release in neat cases was on sale in 1979. In 1980 we saw the first release on cassette tapes, now including the 14 supplementary tapes (see picture to the right). A new cassette tape release saw the light in 1982 (first time collected together in 8 binders). Issued separately from this tape set were transcripts which where specially made to fit into these binders. Almost always however this tape set is found without these transcripts. There was also another release of these transcripts available in separate binders (also released in 1982). In 1986 followed a release of these tapes on cassette in binders with new cover design, this time with transcripts already included in the set.

Then in 1991 an edited version of these tapes were released, it had again a new cover design and a much extended vocabulary. In the early 2000s a limited edition (1,000 copies) on cdrom saw the light. And a couple of years later the regular cdrom edition was released. It is clear that no other lecture series have experienced so many different releases or received so much attention as these Philadelphia Doctorate Course lectures.

 
Selections from these lectures

Now, I like to draw your attention to especially the below quotations from these lectures. The texts that appear in purple are edited out from the current versions of these tape sets for sale. Only the original reel to reel tapes and the 1980, 1982 & 1986 release of the cassette tape sets appear unedited! Starting with the 1991 cassette release these were all edited out from these tape lectures. (I have made available 3 sound snippets from these, please note that they are slightly longer than the printed text that you find below.)

	“They (psychiatry) deepen one's agreement with the MEST universe. You just tell these people to face reality now. Now I'll tell you what's wrong with you, you just have not faced reality. Now you must face the reality of your problem.
	The day you face the reality of this problem you will then be able – then you will be able at last to be better off. And this fellow goes into apathy and he goes further and further and further. And of course, he goes more and more under control and I am sure that the fee has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
	You can get a much better fee—I tell you as auditors* quite frankly—it's... it's much easier to get a great deal of money out of somebody who's on a down spiral into becoming MEST* than it is to get money out of somebody who is going on an up spiral toward becoming theta*.”          LRH  (from Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #15 “The Logics, Infinity Valued Logic”, given on 4 Dec 52)

	“There is only one thing that could happen to Scientology and that is to say that it would be buried—the remedy would be buried. If it ever went out of sight, this world's done. All you've got to do is invalidate it and put it out of sight and hide it, and it'll come up in the wrong place doing the wrong thing and mankind will find itself a slave.
	So anybody that knows the remedy of this subject—anybody that knows these techniques—is himself actually under a certain responsibility; that's to make sure that he doesn't remain a sole proprietor. That's all it takes; just don't remain a sole proprietor. Don't ever think that a monopoly of this subject is a safe thing to have. It's not safe. It's not safe for man; it's not safe for this universe.
	This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves. Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here. Let's see that none are made.”

Don't hoard it, don't hold it; and if you ever do use any Black Dianetics*, use it on the guy who pulled Scientology out of sight and made it so it wasn't available. Because he's the boy who would be electing himself ‘The New Order’. And we don't need any more new orders. All those orders, as far as I am concerned, have been filled.”          LRH  (from Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)

Some comments about tape lecture editing

Now are these removals allowed as per LRH policy?

Some people have suggested that this was done because of political reasons. But then I wonder, how could this be as Scientology is a religion and is therefore by definition would not be politically motivated nor active as such?

	“I hereby declare Scientology to be nonpolitical and nonideological.
	Scientology is for a free people and is itself on this date declared free of any political connection or allegiance of any kind whatever.”          LRH (from HCO PL 14 Jun 65 III “Politics, Freedom from”)

“Nonpolitical in nature, Scientology welcomes any individual of any creed, race or nation.”          LRH   (from “The Aims of Scientology”, Sept 1965 - published in ‘The Auditor 10’, late 1965)

Now these edited out parts are unlikely to be “snaps, pops” or even “coughs”, but were these phrases then to “in some way downgrade Scientology, Scientologists or Central Organizations”?
In fact it has been suggested that this was the reason for these deletions. But this can be argued, it's all still a matter of opinion. Fact is that some valuable information also disappeared with them. It should be taken in consideration as well why it was decided upon such an action so very late in time, this is as late as 1991.

 
Analysis of the tape lecture selections and some considerations

“You can get a much better fee—I tell you as auditors quite frankly—it's much easier to get a great deal of money out of somebody who's on a down spiral into becoming MEST than it is to get money out of somebody who is going on an up spiral toward becoming theta.”          LRH

(from Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)     

“..., and if you ever do use any Black Dianetics, ...”          LRH
(from Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)

From ‘Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G’ [ca. early Oct 52]):
	“Thus, the first basic principle of Black Dianetics: So long as a natural phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many.
	The first law of Dianetics which you should know is as follows: The human organism receives and records all perception while under duress and in a reduced state of consciousness.”          LRH

From ‘Journal of Scientology Issue 5-G’, [ca. late Oct 52]):
	“Processing cleans up these old areas with resultant rise in health and sanity.
	Black Dianetics uses this mechanism to implant new compulsion.”           LRH

Alright then could using the term “Black Dianetics” be interpreted as to “in some way downgrade Scientology, Scientologists or Central Organizations”?  Think about it...

“(..., and if you ever do use any Black Dianetics), use it on the guy who pulled Scientology out of sight and made it so it wasn't available. Because he's the boy who would be electing himself ‘The New Order’. And we don't need any more new orders. All those orders, as far as I am concerned, have been filled.”          LRH
(from Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)

Some persons have uttered that some New Order was introduced, shortly after that L. Ron Hubbard disappeared from the lines in early 1980. It has been rumoured that the current management of the Scientology organization spearheaded by David Miscavige did exactly that.

If this all would be correct it would also mean that L. Ron Hubbard displayed quite some foresight as the Philadelphia Doctorate Course lectures were given 30 years prior to these actual happenings. On the other hand if one does understand how the mind actually works, it will add to your ability to predict.

 
Conclusion and an observation relating to copyright notices

I assembled some of the possible options, you however have to figure out for yourself what is true for you...!

This ‘L. Ron Hubbard Library’ appears to be something new, do note that it is a different copyright name (for details see study: “The copyrights issue, licensing and related matters”, consult here, separate window). Either way that what we can conclude here is that this ‘L. Ron Hubbard Library’ was the entity that was allowing and introducing edited LRH recordings!

A future perspective ...

A foresight of perspective would have to do with actual outcome. Now how would that turn out to be in regards to these subjects of Dianetics and Scientology? People wish to overthrow, wish to have control, wish to have only their view in reach. So, will this mass of information continue to be in existence, and if so, in what form? What criteria does survival of it have to answer to?

We are facing a variety of angles here. Primarily it is about still having a workable technology, having it disseminated, gettting it into the hands of as many people as possible. There should be freedom for application. Dissemination of it would be far senior to hindering it by means of excessive outer control.

A correlation obviously can be drawn to copyrights and licensing the application of the subject matter. L. Ron Hubbard as it happens to be, did address these things to come. I would say, find out for yourself. Compare the situation of back then and now.

“An International Objective” - ‘Scientology Plan for World Peace’ (1963-65)

In June 1963 a plan was proposed with this aim. Its outset was first introduced in a policy letter that was written by L. Ron Hubbard and dated 25 June AD13. As far as I know this policy letter only exists in handwritten form. It may have been printed up, but I do not have this confirmed, I find no record anywhere that it has ever been published. This policy letter was not for broad publication (limited to members of the Scientology community), the actual plan that it referred to it however could be freely distributed.

	“We now have O.T. in direct and real sight with only a few hundred hours of actual skilled auditing intervening. This is an astonishing break through, a real by-the-boot-straps necessity level research sprint.
	We are then only months away from having O.T.s, a year at the most.
	No Scientologist need be told what that means.
	This fact enters us upon forward planning. The trouble with O.T.s in the past has only been lack of cooperation and a commonly agreed upon objective. Without these O.T.s eventually fall prey again to smaller beings with bigger organization skill, O.T. is an unstable state only when O.T.s are not cooperating with O.T.s but each one going his own way in the strong but fatuous belief he can single-handedly survive. The proof is, O.T.s have not survived as O.T.s whenever this super individuation collided with the super organization of weaker beings. The answer is to remain organized, with mutual assistance and integrity and not lose touch with or responsibility for all levels of life forms and societies.
	This means that programmes for such agreement must be offered.”          LRH

The intent could be seen as admirable, however would it be realistic?

	“You would be surprised how many ideas that a—of Scientology have materialized in the world in the last few years. It's interesting. They very often get warped and twisted around in numerous ways but it's very peculiar how often this can occur. How often these things have been actually adopted.
	So here's a plan, An International Objective is the name of the plan at large and the plan itself is the International City, which merely says a government of Earth.”          LRH

An old-timer Scientologist reminisces the following when I asked him about it: “I remember International City. What I remember was that all the governments of the world were to be placed in the Sahara (which would have been made green, as it once was). Therefore if they wanted to fight each other, it would not damage their populations. What I remember was that when I joined staff at Saint Hill in August 1964 (or perhaps afterwards - I cant be sure off hand) I found in a cupboard in the basement where I worked, a number of the World Government pamphlets.”.

It is made available only as far as I know through the periodical Ability with the following notice:

We find this in ‘Ability 166’, Dec 64, ‘Ability 167’, Jan 65 and ‘Ability 169’, Mar 65. Then we don't hear about it at all anymore. At present it is rather hard to get an actual copy of this published plan. You can consult it here below:  (pop-up window)
	‘Scientology:  Plan for World Peace’ (1964, pamphlet)

Today we face various developments on our planet. One of the speakers with a critical view about these matters is David Icke. He is regarded by various people to be not ‘sound of mind’. However the things he has forecasted that would happen already 15 years ago, are confirmed to be actually happening today. We are for instance facing many natural disasters world wide, and it does not look like they are going to stop. Also the happening of the 911 incidence with the twin towers disaster in US has in essence been predicted. I give no personal opinion about these matters here. Various relating can be researched from my link collection, consult here (separate window).

Who actually wrote the ‘Brainwashing Manual’? (1955)

There is this book which is referred to as the ‘Brainwashing Manual’ or sometimes even as ‘L. Ron Hubbard's Brainwashing Manual’. The word manual seems to indicate as if this is meant to be a means of some kind of instructions how you will go about it if you aim to control people. This is a claim forwarded mostly by those critics that have condemned Scientology all together. This publication is said to have been written by L. Ron Hubbard and they may then say something like: “L. Ron Hubbard incorporated brainwashing techniques into Scientology to put people under his control. He wrote this ‘brainwashing manual’ which is still in use today.” or something along these lines. Well, this does not really add up like that if you look into the circumstances of this publication. If you wish to control or brainwash people, then are you going to announce that openly? If you do get a hold of a copy of this publication you will find it carrying the title: ‘Brain-Washing; A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics’. Underneath this title (on the front cover) we read:

“PSYCHOPOLITICS—the art and science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughs and loyalties of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses, and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations through ‘mental healing.’”

The reality may be is that we have no reason to actually believe this having been written by L. Ron Hubbard himself from scratch. In fact authorship has repeatedly been claimed by one Kenneth Goff. He also published his version of the little book at a much earlier date. It is unsure exactly when it was published as it is undated. For this reason it is hard to establish which got released first. The Goff edition is believed however to have been released already may be late ’30s or early ’40s.

“Now, by arrangement with the publishers THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER, INC., BOX 242, SILVER SPRING MARYLAND has available the book - BRAINWASHING This is actually the ‘Communist Manual of Instructions of Psychopolitical Warfare’ which was discovered in use by Communist agents operating in the United States. The following is a portion of the ‘Editorial note’ taken from the text:          ‘on the following pages you will read a synthesis of the Communist Manual of Instructions of Psychopolitical Warfare. This is the art of applying psychology to politics. Testimony, under oath, of Mr. Kenneth Goff, before the House Un-American Committee (1) tells of this manual being used as a textbook not only in the Soviet Union, but right here in the United States ......’          We urge you to acquire and read a copy of this book. It will serve to educate you in the tactics of the enemy as well as to alert you to the dangers of these tactics to America.”

It is quite clear from these notices that it was issued to expose certain things and make people aware of them.

There appear to exist a whole variety of prints of this. The Scientology release (1955) may or may not have been the first one (unverified as yet as some supposed earlier prints by others are not dated). Various later prints may include a foreword and additional background information. Either way I have not ever seen this manual in use by, or in the hand of any Scientologist preparing/planning to brainwash some! The problem is also that if you are to brainwash people you do not disclose any possible techniques that you can use to accomplish such a purpose! If you know how the tricks work, it may be much harder to get some people under your control. So, why exposing these tricks if you intend to get people under your control?

“Thus, the first basic principle of Black Dianetics: So long as a natural phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many.”          LRH
(from ‘Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G’, [ca. early Oct 52])

“Mr Hubbard tells how the very processes of the mind are used for man's control, when utilized by persons seeking power. By knowing how the mind works, and adapting this knowledge to his needs, man at the same time can free himself of his aberrations, his psychosomatic illnesses—even ascend to the stars.”
(from the Editor of ‘Journal of Scientology Issue 5-G’, [ca. late Oct 52])

It would be rather logical that if you intend to unriddle the mystery of man, that you have to study any method of how he may have gotten ‘riddled’ in the first place. It appears to be all about the purpose that you have... so, then what could be the actual purpose of those making such unsubstantiated statements in regards to this ‘Brainwashing Manual’ discrediting the subject of Scientology?

Censoring Scientologists and ‘Scientology On-line’ (1998- )

In the package with the cdrom there was also a letter of agreement that layed out various rules one had to comply with. Rules that were rather stiff and demanding.

“(5) comply immediately and completely with any and all changes that CSI* may require in the Web site, including termination of use of the Marks and the Works if required by CSI;”

Net Nanny filter software

“(6) agree to use the specific Internet Filter Program that CSI has provided to you which allows you freedom to view other sites on Dianetics, Scientology or its principals without threat of accessing sites deemed to be using the Marks or Works in an unauthorized fashion or deemed to be improper or discreditable to the Scientology religion;”

“To work for freedom of speech in the world.”         LRH (from HCO PL 5 Feb 69 “Code of a Scientologist”)

This whole Scientology homepage adventure appears to have been instigated on 13 Mar 1998, at this L. Ron Hubbard Birthday Celebration event held in Los Angeles. Mark Ingber, a Church of Scientology official, announced that Scientologists would be given an opportunity to sell Scientology books and recruit for Scientology through promotional websites. To be allowed to put up one of these websites, you then had to sign this letter of agreement and thus ... install that software on your computer.

“So follow the installation instructions at the end of this email message in order to install the filter software and then email me back letting me know that you have done so.”

Again one gets the feeling that something wants to enforce control ...

The last years I haven't heard anything about this anymore. The above message was actually the last thing I ever received about this. It was not given any attention anymore, although one could still download these filterprograms on this on-line.scientology.org website.
