:         (Originally an LRH OODs item of 12 November
:          1968. Issued as an OSA NW Order on 10 December 1987.)

The original date of issue is during the era of the Guardian office (before the Snow White Trials in 1979). This proves that Hubbard dictated Guardian Office orders, despite Scientology's claims to its members (and the U.S. Government) that Suppressive Persons [radicals outside of Scientology's control] infiltrated the Guardian Office and were responsible for Snow White.

Miscavige, his lawyers, and his Public Relations representatives said that all Guardian Orders were "cancelled", so naturally the cult has to reissue many as OSA NW Orders. Simple, really. Keep the "tech". Just rename it something else to go with the illusion that the criminals (GO staff) were ousted, and the "off-source tech" issues (Guardian Orders) were cancelled. In parallel, rename the GO the "Office of Special Affairs". It's semantics, that's all -- an "acceptable" truth.

The later issue date is after Hubbard's death in 1984. This proves that Scientology did not disband the Guardian's Office, despite Scientology's claims to the contrary. In reality, both GO and OSA are the same Scientology entity, internally named Division 20.

An OOD (Order of the Day?) from during the GO days indicates that Hubbard was in direct control of the G.O.

Ron's Journal '67 is full of paranoid dreck. The reference sets up the reader to accept the paranoid dreck that follows. RJ'67 was written at a time when the "troops" needed to be rallied around The Cause. It variously contains paranoid conspiracy ravings, announcements about new "research" and "breakthroughs", and other fatherly advice from Ron.

: [Hubbard reveals that "we" finally know the persons responsible 
: for attacks on Scientology for the last 18 years, and announces it to be
: "a small group with international ambitions, founded by a madman,
: taken over by a politically ambitious few."] 

Editor's note - Hmm. Sounds kind of ... familiar. 

So Hubbard has finally figured it out, eh? Every year or so during his paranoid period, he would announce "exactly" who the "Who" was. Note here that Hubbard fails to name the names. He didn't have a clue.

According to Hubbard, the first step in dealing with anybody suppressing Scientology is to find the WHO. Scientology blames their failure to Clear the Planet on not properly identifying the WHO. Anonymous remailers drive OSA nuts - they are frozen on Step 1 (find the WHO) and can't proceed to step 2, so the attack remains "unhandled".

Hubbard, of course, is talking about psychiatry, the arch-nemesis of Scientology. In truth, the "psyches" had been ignoring Hubbard since he first penned Dianetics. This hurt Hubbard deeply and he started a lifelong quest tilting at this windmill. He managed to take his entire "church" along with him on this campaign.

Here's some twisted logic: "Since Scientology is 'THE REAL ANSWER' then the PsychZombieDrugLordz are attacking us so they can protect their revenue". Note that Hubbard embellishes with "torture" and "killing"; the Lisa McPherson debacle is an example of becoming that which you oppose.

: 
:      Well, they have now been hurt bad enough to make them
: move their HQ.

Does anyone have any idea what Hubbard is talking about? What organization moved their headquarters in 1967-68?

: 
: [Hubbard claims that the battle is "swinging our way" with both public and media coming on side.] .

[queue marching band music and first platoon of marching Sea Ogres.]

Hubbard fancied himself to be a military commander. His use of psuedo-military jargon occurs elsewhere in his writings. His actual command of a small ship in the US Navy during WWII resulted in an island off Mexico being fired upon, nearly causing a diplomatic incident.

: 
:[ Hubbard notes that this is a "dark" battle, and describes it as mankind's "#1 engram".] 

Here we have a repeated assertion - that Scientology is THE ANSWER, and those opposed to us are a conspiracy ("dark and secret enemy") of psychiatrists who are "torturing or killing the insane". Again Hubbard accuses others of what his own organization does (i.e. Lisa McPherson, who died at the hands of Flag Service Org during a "psychotic break" [nervous breakdown]).

: 
: [Hubbard accuses those who criticize his organization for abuses 
: of 'hypocrisy', and notes that victims of their 
: crimes are like those in concentration camps.] 

Tell it to Lisa, Ron. Scientology followed 100% Standard Tek at Flag Service Organization, Mecca of Technical Perfection. The problem with Scientology is that it pushes quack medical cures without the benefit of medical doctors monitoring the "patient". At least psychiatrists are backed up by the latest in medical science. When things go wrong at Flag, there is no safety net to catch the mistakes. People have gone insane from Scientology procedures. When they do, they are put on the Introspection Rundown and watched by medically-unqualified (but caring) people.

Do Scientologists even think twice when L Ron makes such absurd statements? This kind of black-and-white statement demonstrates that Hubbard is talking to a thought-stopped audience.

: 
: [A sanctimonious Hubbard points out that he didn't even intend to be on enemy turf, noting 
: "we didn't treat the insane." 

Ron conveniently forgets that Scientology treats PTS-III (psychotic break, aka insane) people. Is this a cancellation of the Introspection Rundown, Ron? I sure hope so - that part of the Tech needs to be cancelled before anyone else dies.

: 
: [Hubbard continues in this vein for some time, talking about how Scientology
: didn't ask to brought into the war against psychiatry. 

Ron waxes melodramatic. Hubbard has "mocked up" (imagined) an enemy and now "dramatizes" (takes action) against it. I hope somebody alerts the psychiatrists that Scientology considers itself to be their "executioner".

: 
: [ With the enemy 'in the press and in legislatures,' Hubbard concludes, "we" 
: have no choice but to fight.] 

Hubbard often used a style of single-sentence paragraphs. Perhaps Hubbard used this style to e-m-p-h-a-s-i-z-e   e-v-e-r-y   t-h-o-u-g-h-t. Perhaps Hubbard, in a holdover from his previous career as a penny-a-word sci-fi writer, couldn't be bothered to back up and edit for readability. Another possibility is that Hubbard had difficulty grouping his thoughts into a coherent paragraph that didn't meander like a small stream on a flat plain - putting one sentence in each paragraph solves this coherency problem.

Here is more eeevil conspiracy. Hubbard believed that the psychs, the government, and the press (to name a few) were working together to destroy Scientology. Hubbard declared his Tech to be infallible, so Scientology's troubles were obviously coming from The Outside.

Does anybody know what Ron is talking about? Ron describes a Suppressive (among other things) as someone who speaks in generalities. This is about as general as it gets. Who is "he"? Where are his headquarters? What organization is he talking about? Is it the ARSCC (wdne)?

As always, close with bravado. The troops (and Ron) need to think someone is in charge. Always emphasize urgency to keep the troops in a state of emergency.

Scientology lawyers in the Snow White trial said that Hubbard wasn't involved in the GO. Mary Sue and other "suppressives" took the fall for Snow White.

But here, Ron is issuing OODs to G.O. Nice guy, eh?

And it's official church policy as well, not just Ron talking. Uh huh.

This line describes the Scientology management hierarchy:

1. L. Ron Hubbard dictates to the Church of Scientology International.
2. CSI dictates to Jane Kember (?) [Worldwide Guardian or head of G.O.].
3. jk dictates to "ta", who is probably the person charged with typesetting this OSA Network Order. Note: typographical errors appear in the original.

Hubbard is clearly controlling the actions of the Guardian's Office, despite Scientology's claims to the contrary during the Snow White trial. Hubbard also controlled the Office of Special Affairs.
