How does standard “green-on-white” policy get lost? Just as with the “red-on- white” tech of auditing or training, it can potentially be obscured or made to seem unimportant by the actions of an ill-intentioned individual.
Someone considers that the best way to get a new staff member quickly onto post is to shorten his hat checksheet or label key hat materials as “old.” The new staff member fails, dragging a whole unit or department down with him in a maelstrom of dev-t.
In a hurry to get something accomplished, someone skimps on the usual, on- policy procedures and routings and soon his improvised (squirreled) “handling,” tolerated by others, becomes “the way it’s always done around here.” And crash goes that area.
Seeking to get his own stats up at any cost (and ignoring the effects of his actions on the org as a whole), an “expert” manages to obscure standard, on-policy lines and routings and implements his own “successful actions,” then torpedoes any attempt to get policy in. The result — the org falls far short of what it could be producing if it were operating by the book.
Such actions are suppressive. They are HIGH CRIMES. And they carry the same penalties as the suppression of the technologies of Dianetics and Scientology auditing or training — a condition of TREASON or cancellation of certificates or dismissal and a full investigation of the person’s background.
The following actions or omissions are classified as HIGH CRIMES:
- Abbreviating an official course in standard Scientology administrative policy so as to lose the full theory, administrative procedures and effectiveness of the subject.
- Adding comments to the Org Exec Course or other administrative checksheets or instructions, policies or directives labeling any material “background” or “not used now” or “old” or “it doesn’t need to be followed exactly,” or any similar action which will result in the student not knowing, using and applying the standard administrative data in which he is being trained.
- Employing any checksheet for any administrative course not authorized by the Authority, Verification and Correction Unit International (AVC Int) or, in the case of hat checksheets, duly authorized per HCO PL 30 Sept. 70 I, CHECKSHEET FORMAT.
- Failing to strike from any administrative or hat checksheet any such comments as “historical,” “background,” “not used,” “old,” etc., or VERBALLY STATING IT TO STUDENTS.
- Failing to hat and apprentice a staff member on the full policy and actions of his post.
- Discouraging or preventing a staff member, administrator or executive from training on the full Org Exec Course and Flag Executive Briefing Course.
- Failing to insist upon precise and exact application of the Data Series policy letters in investigations and evaluations.
- Running any organization on squirrel “policy” or third dynamic administrative or management procedures that are contrary to approved policy.
- Using any squirrel administrative procedure in managing an organization while falsely labeling it Scientology policy.
- Using Scientology policy but calling it something else or attributing it to some other source.
- Acting in any way calculated to lose standard Scientology policy to use or impede its use or shorten its materials or its application.
Our policy is the result of years of hard-won experience. It works. It must be applied vigorously, intelligently and to the letter. Our own lives and happiness are at stake. This planet and universe are at stake. To carry off the task we need only keep and use these tools of standard admin.
