It is quite obvious that Scientology has to maintain a defense perimeter. In 19 years of continual attacks it is obvious that Dianetics then Scientology must have lain across some concerted plan by another older group to do something else.

To analyze what the others intended, it is only necessary to review what Dianetics and Scientology intended to do and assume the reverse.

In these days of “cold war” when actual warfare is impossible due to atomic weapons, the warfare is waged in the press and public in form of ideas.

Experience has shown that defense is only effective when one sorties or attacks.

If you uniformly apply the tactics and strategy of battle to the rows we get into, press or legal or public confrontation, you will win.

When we did not give a lot of time and energy and funds to knocking out real enemies we came close to losing the lot.

The enemy uses “groups” and meetings of groups like one would use squads.

The errors we have made have been

If we and they are considered as two hostile and opposing nations at war, then a huge array of tactics and strategy become visible.

1. Defending only.

One parallels in the field of thought what is used and done is in the field of battle in other ages.

2. Defending on Scn ground.

You don't have to know too much about the tactics and strategy of warfare to apply this but it helps.

3. Being reasonable and assigning mild motives to the enemy.

The end product of war, according to Klansewitz the authority on it, is (condensed) “to bring about a more amenable frame of mind on the part of the enemy”.

4. Failing to attack early and hard.

But there are also wars of attrition. We are engaged in one where total destruction of us has been the enemy's aim for, at this writing, 19 years. This is barbarian warfare, thus the enemy must have had very positive fears and terrors about us. Since he fought for total attrition. In this case it is not safe to hope for any half way win. We must ourselves fight on a basis of total attrition of the enemy. So never get reasonable about him. Just go all the way in and obliterate him.

5. Undervaluing the broad social value of Scn.

It is bad warfare to fight battles on your own terrain, in your own subject area. It is not good to fight in the territory of allies. Fight battles wherever possible only on enemy terrain, in and about his subject and his people, not ours. You can gauge your relative success by this. When all your battles are fought on his terrain, you are winning.

6. Individuating from other similar organizations.

A good general expands the maximum of enemy troops and the minimum of his own. He makes the war costly to the enemy, not to himself.

7. Not learning enemy tactics and using and bettering them.

One cuts off enemy communications, funds, connections. He deprives the enemy of political advantages, connections and power. He takes over enemy territory. He raids and harasses. All on a thought plane - press, public opinion, governments, etc.

8. Failing to heavily contest for public opinion and public media.

Seeing it as a battle one can apply battle tactics to thought actions.

9. Failing to identify the enemy early and hit him hard.

Intelligence identifies targets and finds out enemy plans and purposes, enemy connections, dispositions, etc. It is fatal to attack a wrong enemy. But it is good tactics to make the enemy attack wrong targets or persons himself.

• A. Our best defense is that we are sincere, that we are effective and that we commit no crimes.

Good intelligence pin points who when where what.

Good PRO plans an action and operations fights the battle.

Legal is a slow if often final battle arena. It eventually comes down to legal in the end. If intelligence and PRO have done well, then legal gets an easy win.

We must not repeat the errors of 1 to 9.

You can win a battle even without legal and by PRO alone. You intend to win it without legal wherever possible.

And we must reinforce A, B and C.

The prize is “public opinion” where press is concerned. The only safe public opinion to head for is they love us and are in a frenzy of hate against the enemy, this means standard wartime propaganda is what one is doing, complete with atrocity, war crimes trials, the lot. Know the mores of your public opinion, what they hate. That's the enemy. What they love. That's you.

You preserve the image or increase it of your own troops and degrade the image of the enemy to beast level.

The vital targets on which we must invest most of our time are:

Always be ready to parley but watch for tricks. Don't give the enemy breathing space.

T1. Depopularizing the enemy to a point of total obliteration.

Capture and use his comm lines. A press magnate on your side is a big win.

T2. Taking over the control or allegiance of the heads or proprietors of all news media.

You have in one of these publicity wars all the factors of modern wars complete with artillery, cavalry, infantry.

T3. Taking over the control or allegiance of key political figures.

For example at this writing, all fighting has been on our terrain, they knew our generals we didn't know theirs, they had all the press, funds, government control. We are reversing this. We are fighting now on their ground. But we have a long way to go.

T4. Taking over the control or allegiance of those who monitor international finance and shifting them to a less precarious finance standard.

We will make it all the way providing we look on this in terms of active battle and not as a “if we are saintly good we will win”. The people who win wars have a saintly image but they win the war by clever and forceful use of the rules of tactics, strategy and battle.

T5. Generally revitalizing the societies in which we are operating.

Wars are composed of many battles.

T6. Winning overwhelming public support.

Never treat a war like a skirmish. Treat all skirmishes like wars.

T7. Use all other similar groups as allies.

The cold war is a war. The West is losing it because it is fighting by other rules than the rules of war. We mustn't lose it.

These, of course, are very long range targets. But it is what must be done to continue the longevity of our organizations.

Our only justification for doing these things is that Scientology is the only game where everyone wins.

The names and connections, at this time, of the bitterly opposing enemy are:

1. Psychiatry and psychology (not medicine).

2. The heads of news media who are also directors of psychiatric front groups.

3. A few key political figures in the fields of „mental health“ and education.

4. A decline of monetary stability caused by the current planning of bankers who are also directors of psychiatric front organizations would make us unable to function.

5. The cold war is being fought on home ground and has an apparent target of degrading western society to a point where we are finding it difficult to operate; a degraded society can be swallowed up easily by an enemy.

6. The public is somewhat sympathetic already but in a democracy trials are by public opinion. To win all the way, the bulk of public opinion must be at the level of love us… hate the enemy.

7. Many groups exist with similar aims. They need organizing and uniting.

At first glance the targets T1 to T7 are a pretty big handful. But we have to start somewhere. And we might as well start in the direction of the total target as per T1 – T7.

Nearly everything we are doing is already tending in that direction T1 – T7.

We have the advantage of new vital technology and a monopoly on it. New technologies are the things which made progress.

We do not have a Utopian dream or a planned society. We are trying to survive. Our theory is that if individuals become more honest and less harassed they will be capable of building a better society.

The fact is we would have gone along happily minding our own business. But these fantastic and continuing attacks have pushed us more and more into developing a technology and direction of defense.

We now have a lot of experience. We have been hurt, we have been held back. It has cost us millions. Normal channels of the society have let us down. Therefore we are on our own. Obviously. To our actual and factual view, the West is prostrate and near helpless and the rest of the world is a big slave camp.

If we don’t do anything about it we and everyone else are gone.

So we may as well have a go.

If we unite all groups into an interplay and use all forces extant and channel them we have a very big chance of winning.

Therefore from an appreciation of all data to hand and experience it seems that T1 to T7 is beneficial. *variant: Therefore from an appreciation of all data to hand and experience it seems that T1 to T7 must be embarked upon.
These give us a multitude of lesser targets. Anything we do in guardian actions to add up to T1 to T7 is beneficial. Things that don’t are a relative waste of time.

If we, doing our jobs, doing no wrong, breaking no laws, are having trouble operating, what about the rest of the West? We’re not the only ones in hot water. In fact we are probably in far better shape than many many other groups and for sure in better shape than other individuals.

So we can and must take the lead.

And we ourselves must develop many leaders.

We may as well start now and push all we are doing in defensive actions into T1 to T7.
