Academy Level IV Coursepack: Part 3 of 7

***************************************

Thanksgiving time is here.

We at FZ Bible Association would like to give thanks to Ron for
leaving us a bounty of Tech.

And celebrate by disseminating it freely to all.

In that spirit we bring you the Level 4 coursepack, from the
late 80's.

Happy Turkey Day,

********************

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association

                      NOVEMBER 5,1964
  HCO PL  7 May  69   POLICIES ON "SOURCES OF TROUBLE"

It has been the long-standing policy of Central Organizations to
handle physical illness and insanity in the following manner.

                 HEALING

Any process labeled "healing," old or new, refers to healing by
mental and spiritual means and should therefore be looked upon as
the relief of difficulties arising from mental and spiritual
causes.

The proper procedure in being requested to heal some complained-
of physical disability Is as follows:

1. Require a physical examination from whatever practitioners of
the physical healing arts may be competent and available;

2. Clearly establish that the disability does not stem from
immediately physical causes;

3. If the disability is pronounced to be curable within the skill
of the physical practitioner and is in actual fact a disease or
illness which surrenders to contemporary physical treatment, to
require the person to be so treated before Scientology processing
may be undertaken;

4. If, however, the physical practitioner's recommendation
includes surgery or treatment of an unproven nature or the
illness or disease cannot be accurately diagnosed as a specific
physical illness or disease with a known cure, the person may be
accepted for processing on the reasonable assumption that no
purely physical illness is proven to exist, and that it is
probably mental or spiritual in origin.

       POLICIES REGARDING THE INSANE

With insane persons or persons with a proven record of insanity,
do the following:

1. Establish to the best of your ability within reasonable
administrative limits and known tests that any HGC pc accepted
for processing does not have a history of deserved
institutionalization in an insane asylum or similar place;

2. Process only those persons who have no such history;

3. Do not recommend any other treatment by practitioners in the
field of insanity where there exists any evidence that such
practitioners injure, disable or maltreat patients by violently
reacting drugs, by painful shocks, surgery or other barbaric and
outdated means of "mental treatment";

4. If no recommendation is possible under (3) above, recommend
only rest and a change of environment, but not in a professional
capacity.

            SOURCES OF TROUBLE

Policies similar to those regarding physical illness and insanity
exist for types of persons who have caused us considerable
trouble.

These persons can be grouped under "sources of trouble." They
include:

a. Persons intimately connected with persons (such as marital or
familial ties) of known antagonism to mental or spiritual
treatment or Scientology. In practice such persons,' even when
they approach Scientology in a friendly fashion, have such
pressure continually brought to bear upon them by persons with
undue influence over them that they make very poor gains in
processing, and their interest is solely devoted to proving the
antagonistic element wrong.

They, by experience, produce a great deal of trouble in the long
run as their own condition does not improve adequately under such
stresses to effectively combat the antagonism. Their present time
problem cannot be reached as it is continuous, and so long as it
remains so, they should not be accepted for auditing by any
organization or auditor.

b. Criminals with proven criminal records often continue to
commit so many undetected harmful acts between sessions that they
do not make adequate case gains and therefore should not be
accepted for processing by organizations or auditors.

c. Persons who have ever threatened to sue or embarrass or attack
or who have publicly attacked Scientology or been a party to an
attack and all their immediate families should never be accepted
for processing by a Central Organization or an auditor. They have
a history of only serving other ends than case gain and commonly
again turn on the organization or auditor. They have already
barred themselves out by their own overts against Scientology and
are thereafter too difficult to help, since they cannot openly
accept help from those they have tried to injure.

d. Responsible-for-condition cases have been traced back to other
causes for their condition too often to be acceptable. By
responsible-for-condition cases is meant the person who insists a
book or some auditor is "wholly responsible for the terrible
condition I am in." Such cases demand unusual favors, free
auditing, tremendous effort on the part of auditors. Review of
these cases shows that they were in the same or worse condition
long before auditing, that they are using a planned campaign to
obtain auditing for nothing, that they are not as bad off as they
claim, and that their antagonism extends to anyone who seeks to
help them, even their own families. Establish the rights of the
matter and decide accordingly.

e. Persons who are not being audited on their own determinism are
a liability as they are forced into being processed by some other
person and have no personal desire to become better. Quite on the
contrary, they usually want only to prove the person who wants
them audited wrong and so do not get better. Until a personally
determined goal to be processed occurs, the person will not
benefit.

f. Persons who "want to be processed to see if Scientology works"
as their only reason for being audited have never been known to
make gains as they do not participate. News reporters fall into
this category. They should not be audited.

g. Persons who claim that "if you help such and such a case" (at
great and your expense) because somebody is rich or influential
or the neighbors would be electrified should be ignored.
Processing is designed for bettering individuals, not progressing
by stunts or giving cases undue importance. Process only at
convenience and usual arrangements. Make no extraordinary effort
at the expense of other persons who do want processing for normal
reasons. Not one of these arrangements has ever come off
successfully as it has the unworthy goal of notoriety, not
betterment.

h. Persons who "have an open mind" but no personal hopes or
desires for auditing or knowingness should be ignored, as they
really don't have an open mind at all, but a lack of ability to
decide about things and are seldom found to be very responsible
and waste anyone's efforts "to convince them."

i. Persons who do not believe anything or anyone can get better.
They have a purpose for being audited entirely contrary to the
auditor's and so, in this conflict, do not benefit. When such
persons are trained, they use their
training to degrade others. Thus, they should not be accepted for
training or auditing.

j. Persons attempting to sit in judgment on Scientology in
hearings or attempting to investigate Scientology should be given
no undue importance. One should not seek to instruct or assist
them in any way. This includes judges,
boards, newspaper reporters, magazine writers, etc. All efforts
to be helpful or instructive have done nothing beneficial, as
their first idea is a firm "I don't know" and this usually ends
with an equally firm "I don't know." If a person can't see for
himself or judge from the obvious, then he does not have
sufficient powers of observation even to sort out actual
evidence. In legal matters, only take the obvious effective steps
-- carry on no crusades in court. In the matter of reporters,
etc., it is not worthwhile to give them any time, contrary to
popular belief. They are given their story before they leave
their editorial rooms and you only strengthen what they have to
say by saying anything. They are no public communication line
that sways much. Policy is very definite. Ignore.

To summarize sources of trouble, the policy in general is to cut
communication, as the longer it is extended, the more trouble
they are. I know of no case where the types of persons listed
above were handled by auditing or instruction. I know of many
cases where they were handled by firm legal stands, by ignoring
them until they changed their minds, or just turning one's back.

In applying such a policy of cut communication, one must also use
judgment as there are exceptions in all things, and to fail to
handle a person's momentary upset in life or with us can be quite
fatal. So these policies refer to non-Scientology persons in the
main or persons who appear on the outer fringes and push toward
us. When such a person bears any of the above designations, we
and the many are better off to ignore them.

Scientology works. You don't have to prove it to everyone. People
don't deserve to have Scientology as a divine right, you know.
They have to earn it. This has been true in every philosophy that
sought to better man.

And the less enturbulence you put on your lines, the better, and
the more people you will eventually help.

           THE STRESS OF POLICY

All the above "sources of trouble" are also forbidden training,
and when a person being trained or audited is detected to belong
under the above headings (a) to (j), he or she should be advised
to terminate and accept refund which must be paid at once and the
full explanation should be given them at that time. Thus, the few
may not, in their own turmoil, impede service to and the advance
of the many.

Scientology is an applied philosophy designed and developed to
make the able more able. In this sphere it is tremendously
successful.

Efforts to involve philosophy with medical imperialism,
psychiatric sadism, the bigoted churchman, bring about a slowing
of our progress.

These people are sick spiritually because of their own continuous
harmful actions against patients and the society and are beyond
our normal means to help.

These policies will continue in existence until such time as
those interested care to invest the time and treasure necessary
to build the institutions and reeducate the professions which now
practice medical and physical mental healing, and this is
definitely not within our time, but would belong to some remote
future when more men are sane.

However, such a program would depend upon the continued existence
of the medical imperialist and the psychiatrist, and as their
more reprehensible activities are rather new and very radical,
they may be abandoned by public and government long before
Scientology could help them. This is probably the more likely
occurrence as even in Russia the communist has now forsworn all
violent treatments of the insane according to their delegates to
the London Medical Conference of this year, and Russian
practitioners look with contempt and scorn upon the Western
psychiatrist. The medical doctor of England, taken over by
socialism, has lost his ambition for medical imperialism and has
no contest with Scientology. In the United States the American
Medical Association has become locked in mortal combat with the
government and probably will be socialized entirely in a few
years due to fee abuses and lack of gains. The medical doctor
remains strong only in more backward small nations such as
Australia where world trends are late in arriving.

Even the Church in Rome is considering a surrender of principles
and amalgamation with other faiths in an effort to save a
dwindling religious membership.

Thus, there may be no medical practitioner as we know him left in
a few decades. Membership in the psychiatric profession is
declining.

In the place of these institutions, if we ever get around to
them, we may find ourselves dealing with completely different
practices in the fields of physical healing and the treatment of
the insane. All we ask of them is that they are competent in
their treatments and less greedy for monopoly than their
predecessors. And if this is so, then our policies will then
remain fully in force, but in a spirit of cooperation, not with
the desire to protect ourselves and the public from them and the
products of their bungling.

Ours are the powerful communication lines. They are powerful
because they are theta lines. Entheta (enturbulated theta)
obtains all its apparent power by being parasitic on theta lines.
Only when you add the power of our lines to the weakness of
entheta lines can they then have strength.

Example: It was the FCDC communication to its own field about
that government raid that (a) cost the most in cash and (b) did
the most damage. You can actually ignore an entheta line in
almost all cases without the faintest consequence. It only has
power when we let it have power by answering it.

Ethics Hats
Executive Hats

           SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS,
         MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF

It is interesting in the detection of suppressive persons that
they use "policy" to prevent purpose.

In one org which went into a serious decline a suppressive person
was in a high position.

Every time org personnel returned from Saint Hill and proposed
that the org get going, they were told by this SP that their
proposals were "against policy."

Not one of these people, hearing this, ever alerted to a glaring
fact. The SP in this case was renowned for never being able to
pass a bulletin, tape or policy letter!

So how would that person have known WHAT was against policy for
that person NEVER was known to pass a hat check!

So that person's statement that "It's against policy" was
obviously false since the person was incapable of passing hat
checks or bulletins and wouldn't ever have known what any policy
was, for or against anything.

Thus, we see one of the characteristics of an SP is

1. THE NEGATION OF POLICY WITHOUT KNOWING IT AND THE USE OF
"POLICY" TO PREVENT SUCCESS IN SCIENTOLOGY IS THE PRIMARY TOOL OF
THE SP AGAINST ORGS.

                ----------

Dissemination is a prime target of the SP.

Magazines ordinarily have half a dozen SPs on their lines. These
people write in and complain about ads. If you don't watch it,
these half dozen become "everybody" and the mag is beaten down
into not advertising.

"Soft sell" is another recommendation of the SP

And "build it quietly" and "get only decent people" are all part
of this.

When somebody is demanding less reach, that person is an SP.

Therefore, we have another characteristic:

2. SPs RECOMMEND INEFFECTIVE DISSEMINATION AND FIND FAULT WITH
ANY BEING DONE.

                ----------

A suppressive will try to sell off the property or buildings of
an org, and in one case tried to give them away when temporarily
in charge.

3. A SUPPRESSIVE WILL TRY TO GET RID OF AN ORG.

                ----------

Good staff members are a prime target for SPs. In one org where
an SP got a foothold, 60% of the staff was gotten rid of and the
org almost crashed.

They do it by making people too dissatisfied to produce and so
make it impossible for the org to earn.

4. AN SP WILL SEEK TO UPSET AND GET RID OF THE BEST STAFF
MEMBERS.

                ----------

Bad news, particularly if false, is the only comm line of the SP.

The executive who is getting bad news as a steady diet on his
lines has SPs about.

5. ENTHETA IS THE SOLE STOCK IN TRADE OF THE SP.

                ----------

The triumph an SP feels in not getting rid of things the auditor
has tried to ease is quite malevolent.

6. AN SP IS SATISFIED WITH AUDITING ONLY WHEN HE GETS WORSE.

                ----------

7. SPs are happy when their pcs get worse and sad when their pcs
get better.

                ----------

8. AN SP IN AN EXAMINER POST WILL ONLY DECLARE RELEASED THE BAD
RESULT CASES AND WILL NOT PASS ACTUAL RELEASES BUT WILL ARC BREAK
THEM.

                ----------

9. Covert invalidation is the level of an SP's social
intercourse.

                ----------

An SP can only restimulate another, he has no power of his own.

10. An SP deals only in restimulation, never easing or erasing.

                ----------

11. The persons around an SP get so restimulated they can't
detect the real SP.

                ----------

The whole rationale of the SP is built on the belief that if
anyone got better, the SP would be for it as the others could
overcome him then.

He is fighting a battle he once fought and never stopped
fighting. He is in an incident. Present time people are mistaken
by him for past, long-gone enemies.

Therefore, he never really knows what he is fighting in present
time, so just fights.

12. The SP is sure everyone is against him personally and if
others became more powerful they would dispose of him.

                ----------

The SP usually commits continuing overts. These are hidden.

I have had two or three SPs blow up and shout or snarl at me.
When I investigated, I found, in these cases, they were
committing daily crimes of some magnitude.

13. An SP commits hidden overts continuously.

                ----------

14. Back of a crime you will find SP characteristics.

                ----------

15. Because an SP uses generalities in his speech, "everybody,"
"they," etc., the SP is hard to detect.

                ----------

SPs have an experiential track that is poor. SPs know how to
needle and commit overts and hold others back.

When released, the SP has so little decent background experience
that he or she has a very hard time.

16. Releasing an SP does not make a worthwhile person. It only
makes a person who can now learn to get along in life.

"A cleared cannibal is a cleared cannibal."

                ----------

SPs don't get case gains. Sometimes they pretend them. They are
held back by their continuing overts. If we were found by them to
be decent, their past conduct would swell up and engulf them.

They are in a continual PTP of their fight with mankind. And they
follow the rule that pcs with PTPs get no case gains.

                ----------

Real SPs comprise about 2 1/2 percent of the population. By
restimulating others, they make another 17 1/2 percent into
potential trouble sources. Therefore, about 20% of the population
is Ethics type.

We must not allow this 20% to prevent the 80% from crossing the
Bridge.

We are no enemy of the SP. But he can't have friends, can he?

So we handle the SP and his PTSes and carry on with our job.

                            The Basis of Insanity

       HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

     HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 APRIL 1965

    HCO JUSTICE DATA RE ACADEMY AND HGC

      HANDLING THE SUPPRESSIVE PERSON
          THE BASIS OF INSANITY

The suppressive person (whom we've called a Merchant of Fear or
Chaos Merchant and which we can now technically call the
suppressive person) can't stand the idea of Scientology. If
people became better, the suppressive person would have lost. The
suppressive person answers this by attacking covertly or overtly
Scientology. This thing is, he thinks, his mortal enemy since it
undoes his (or her) "good work" in putting people down where they
should be.

There are three "operations" such a case seeks to engage upon
regarding Scientology: (a) to disperse it, (b) to try to crush it
and (c) to pretend it didn't exist.

Dispersal would consist of several things such as attributing its
source to others and altering its processes or structure.

If you feel a bit dispersed reading this policy letter, then
realize it is about a being whose whole "protective coloration"
is to disperse others and so remain invisible. Such people
generalize all entheta and create ARC breaks madly.

The second (b) is done by covert or overt means. Covertly, a
suppressive person leaves the org door locked, loses the E-
Meters, runs up fantastic bills, and energetically and unseen
seeks to pull out the plug and get Scientology poured down the
drain. We, poor fools, consider all this just "human error" or
"stupidity." We rarely realize that such actions, far from being
accidents, are carefully thought out. The proof that this is so
is simple. If we run down the source of these errors, we wind up
with only one or two people in the whole group. Now isn't it odd
that the majority of errors that kept the group enturbulated were
attributable to a minority of persons present? Even a very
"reasonable" person could not make anything else out of that
except that it was very odd and indicated that the minority
mentioned were interested in smashing the group and that the
behavior was not common to the whole group -- meaning it isn't
"normal" behavior.

These people aren't communists or fascists or any other ists.
They are just very sick people. They easily become parts of
suppressive groups such as communists or fascists because these
groups, like criminals, are suppressive.

The suppressive person is hard to spot because of the dispersal
factor mentioned above. One looks at them and has his attention
dispersed by their "everybody is bad."

The suppressive person who is visibly seeking to knock out people
or Scientology is easy to see. He or she is making such a fuss
about it. The attacks are quite vicious and full of lies. But
even here when the suppressive person exists on the "other side"
of a potential trouble source, visibility is not good. One sees a
case going up and down. On the other side of that case, out of
the auditor's view, is the suppressive person.

The whole trick they use is to generalize entheta. "Everybody is
bad." "The Russians are all bad." "Everybody hates you." "The
People versus John Doe" on warrants. "The masses." "The secret
police will get you."

Suppressive groups use the ARC break mechanisms of generalizing
entheta so it seems "everywhere."

The suppressive person is a specialist in making others ARC break
with generalized entheta that is mostly lies.

He or she is also a no-gain case.

So avid are such for the smashing of others by covert or overt
means that their case is bogged and won't move under routine
processing.

The technical fact is that they have a huge problem, long gone
and no longer known even to themselves, which they use hidden or
forthright vicious acts continually to "handle." They do not act
to solve the environment they are in. They are solving one
environment, yesterday's, in which they are stuck.

The only reason the insane were hard to understand is that they
are handling situations which no longer exist. The situation
probably existed at one time. They think they have to hold their
own, with overts against a nonexistent enemy to solve a
nonexistent problem.

Because their overts are continuous they have withholds.

Since such a person has withholds, he or she can't communicate
freely to as-is the block on the track that keeps them in some
yesterday. Hence, a "no-gain case."

That alone is the way to locate a suppressive person. By viewing
the case. Never judge such a person by their conduct. That is too
difficult. Judge by no case gains. Don't even use tests.

One asks these questions:

1. Will the person permit auditing at all? or

2. Does their history of routine auditing reveal any gains?

If (1) is present, one is safe to treat the person as
suppressive. It is not always correct, but it is always safe.
Some errors will be made, but it is better to make them than to
take a chance on it. When people refuse auditing, they are (a) a
potential trouble source (connected to a suppressive person); (b)
a person with a big discreditable withhold; (c) a suppressive
person or (d) have had the bad luck to be "audited" too often by
a suppressive person or (e) have been audited by an untrained
auditor or one "trained" by a suppressive person.

The last category (e) (untrained auditor) is rather slight but
(d) (audited by a suppressive person) can have been pretty
serious, resulting in continual ARC breaks during which auditing
was pressed on without regard to the ARC break.

Thus, there are several possibilities when somebody refuses
auditing. One has to sort them out in an HGC and handle the right
one. But HCO by policy simply treats the person with the same
admin policy procedure as that used on a suppressive person and
lets HGC sort it out. Get that difference -- it's "with the same
admin policy procedure as" not "the same as."

For treating a person "the same as" a suppressive person when he
or she is not only adds to the confusion. One treats a real
suppressive person pretty rough. One has to handle the bank.

As to (2) here is the real test and the only valid test: Does
their history of routine auditing reveal any gains? If the answer
is NO then there is your suppressive person, loud and very
unclear!

That is the test.

There are several ways of detecting. When fair auditors or good
ones have had to vary routine procedure or do unusual things on
this case in an effort to make it gain, when there are lots of
notes from Ds of P in the folder saying do this -- do that -- you
know that this case was trouble. This means it was one of three
things: (1) a potential trouble source, (2) a person with a big
withhold or (3) a suppressive person.

If, despite all that trouble and care the case did not gain -- or
if the case simply didn't gain despite auditing, no matter how
many years or intensives -- then you've caught your suppressive
person.

That's the boy. Or the girl.

This case performs continual calculating, covert, hostile acts
damaging to others. This case puts the enturbulence and upset
into the environment, breaks the chairs, messes up the rugs and
spoils the traffic flow with "goofs" done intentionally.

One should lock criminals out of the environment if one wants
security. But one first has to locate the criminal. Don't lock
everybody out because you can't find the criminal.

The cyclic case (gains and collapses routinely) is connected to a
suppressive person. We have policy on that.

The case that continually pleads "hold my hand, I am so ARC
broken" is just somebody with a big withhold, not an ARC break.

The suppressive person just gets no case gain on routine student
auditing.

This person is actively suppressing Scientology. If such will sit
still and pretend to be audited, the suppression is by hidden
hostile acts which include:

1. Chopping up auditors;

2. Pretending withholds which are actually criticisms;

3. Giving out "data" about their past lives and/or whole track
that really hold such subjects up to scorn and makes people who
do remember, wince;

4. Chopping up orgs;

5. Alter-ising technology to mess it up;

6. Spreading rumors about prominent persons in Scientology;

7. Attributing Scientology to other sources;

8. Criticizing auditors as a group;

9. Rolling up dev-t -- off-policy, off-origin, off-line;

10. Giving fragmentary or generalized reports about entheta that
cave people in-and isn't actual;

11. Refusing to repair ARC breaks;

12. Engaging in discreditable sexual acts (also true of potential
trouble sources);

13. Reporting a session good when the pc went bad;

14. Reporting a session bad when the pc went up in tone;

15. Snapping terminals with lecturers and executives to make
critical remarks or spread ARC break-type "news" to them;

16. Failing to relay comm or report;

17. Making an org go to pieces (note, one uses "making" not
"letting");

18. Committing small criminal acts around the org;

19. Making "mistakes" which get their seniors in trouble;

20. Refusing to abide by policy;

21. Noncompliance with instructions;

22. Alter-is of instructions or orders so that the program fouls
up;

23. Hiding data that is vital to prevent upsets;

24. Altering orders to make a senior look bad;

25. Organizing revolts or mass protest meetings;

26. Snarling about justice.

And so on. One does not use the catalog, however; one only uses
this one fact -- no case gain by routine auditing over a longish
period.

This is the fellow that makes life miserable for the rest of us.
This is the one who overworks executives. This is the auditor
killer. This is the course enturbulator or pc killer.

There's the cancer. Burn it out.

                ----------

In short, you begin to see that it's this one who is the only one
who makes harsh discipline seem necessary. The rest of the staff
suffers when one or two of these is present.

One hears a whine about "process didn't work" or sees an alter-is
of tech. Go look. You'll find it now and then leads to a
suppressive person inside or outside the org.

Now that one knows who it is, one can handle it.

But more than that, I can now crack this case!

The technology is useful on all cases, of course. But only this
cracks the "no-gain case."

The person is in a mad, howling situation of some yesteryear and
is "handling it" by committing overt acts today. I say condition
of yesteryear but the case thinks it's today.

Yes, you're right. They are nuts. The spinbins are full of either
them or their victims. There's no other real psycho in a spinbin!

What? That means we've cracked insanity itself? That's right. And
it's given us the key to the suppressive person and his or her
effect on the environment. This is the multitude of "types" of
insanity of the nineteenth-century psychiatrist. All in one.
Schizophrenia, paranoia, fancy names galore. Only one other type
exists -- the person the suppressive person got "at." This is the
"manic-depressive" a type who is up one day and down the next.
This is the potential trouble source gone mad. But these are in a
minority in the spinbin, usually put there by suppressive persons
and not crazy at all! The real mad ones are the suppressive
persons. They are the only psychos.

Oversimplification? No indeed. I can prove it! We could empty the
spinbins now. If we want to. But we have better uses for
technology than saving a lot of suppressive persons who
themselves act only to scuttle the rest of us.

You see, when they get down to no-case-gain where a routine
process won't bite, they can no longer as-is their daily life so
it all starts to stack up into a horror. They "solve" this horror
by continuous covert acts against their surroundings and
associates. After a while the covert ones don't seem to hold off
the fancied "horror" and they commit some senseless violence in
broad daylight-or collapse-and so they get identified as insane
and are lugged off to the spinbin.

Anybody can "get mad" and bust a few chairs when a suppressive
person goes too far. But there's traceable sense to it. Getting
mad doesn't make a madman. It's damaging actions that have no
sensible detectable reason that's the trait of madness. Any
thetan can get angry. Only a madman damages without reason.

All actions have their lower-scale, discreditable mockery. The
difference is, does one get over his anger? The no-case-gain of
course can't. He or she stays misemotional and adds each new
burst t o the fire. It never gets less. It grows. And a long way
from all suppressive persons are violent. They are more likely to
look resentful.

A suppressive person can get to one solid dispassionate state of
damaging things. Here is the accident prone, the home wrecker,
the group wrecker.

Now here one must realize something. The suppressive person finds
outlet for his or her unexpressed rage by carefully needling
those they are connected with into howling anger.

You see the people around them get dragged into this long-gone
incident by mistaken identity. And it is a maddening situation to
be continually misidentified, accused, worked on, double-crossed.
For one is not the being the suppressive person supposes. The
suppressive person's world is pretty hard to live around. And
even ordinarily cheerful people often blow up under the strain.

So be careful who you call the suppressive person. The person
connected with a suppressive person is liable to be the only
visible rage in sight!

You have some experience of this -- the mousey little woman, who
rarely changes expression and is so righteous, connected to
somebody who now and then goes into a frenzy.

How to tell them apart? Easy! Just ask this question-Which gets a
case gain easily?

Well, it's even simpler than that! Put the two on an E-Meter.
Don't do anything but read the dial and needle. The suppressive
one has the high, stuck TA. The other has a lower TA. Simple?

Not all suppressive persons have high TA. The TA can be anywhere,
especially very low (1.0). But the needle is weird. It is stuck
tight or it R/Ses without reason (the pc wearing no rings to
cause an R/S).

Suppressive persons also can have the "dead"-thetan Clear read!

You see people around a suppressive person Q-and-A and disperse.
They seek to "get even" with the suppressive person and often
exhibit the same symptoms temporarily.

Sometimes two suppressive persons are found together. So one
can't always say which is the suppressive person in a pair. The
usual combination is the suppressive person and the potential
trouble source.

However, you don't need to guess about it or observe their
conduct.

It's really no case gain by routine processing that is the only
valid test.

For this poor soul can no longer as-is easily. Too many overts.
Too many withholds. Stuck in an incident that they call "present
time." Handling a problem that does not exist. Supposing those
around are the personnel in their own delirium.

They look all right. They sound reasonable. They are often
clever. But they are solid poison. They can't as-is anything. Day
by day their pile grows. Day by day their new overts and withholds
pin them down tighter. They aren't here. But they sure can wreck
the place.

There is the true psycho.

And he or she is dying before your very eyes. Kind of horrible.

The resolution of the case is a clever application of Problems
Processes, never O/W. What was the condition? How did you handle
it? is the key type of process.

I don't know what the percentage of these are in a society. I
know only that they made up about ten percent of any group so far
observed. The data is obscured by the fact that they ARC break
others and make them misemotional -- thus, one of them seems to
be, by contagion, half-a-dozen such.

Therefore, simple inspection of conduct does not reveal the
suppressive person. Only a case folder puts the seal on it. No
case gain by routine processes.

However, this test too may soon become untrustworthy for now we
can crack them by a special approach. However, we will also
generally use the same approach on routine cases as it makes
cases go upward fast, and we may catch the suppressive person
accidentally and cure him or her before we are aware of it.

And that would be wonderful.

But still we'll have such on our lines in justice matters from
now on. So it's good to know all about them, how they are
identified, how to handle.

HCO must handle such cases as per the HCO Justice Codes on
suppressive acts when they blow Scientology or seek to suppress
Scientologists or orgs. One should study up on these.

The Academy should be careful of this and report them to HCO
promptly (as they would potential trouble sources or withholds
that won't be delivered). The Academy must not fool about with
suppressive persons. It's a sure way to deteriorate a course and
cave in students.

                 POLICY

When an Academy finds it has a potential trouble source, a
"withholdy case that ARC breaks easily" or a suppressive person
enrolled on a course or a blow, the Academy must call for HCO
Department of Inspections and Reports, justice section. This can
be any HCO personnel available, even the HCO Sec.

The HCO representative must wear some readily identified HCO
symbol and must take a report sheet with a carbon copy on a
clipboard.

HCO must have present other staff adequate to handle possible
physical violence.

The student, if still present, must be taken to a place where an
interview will not stop or enturbulate a class, by Tech Division
personnel. This can be any Tech Division office, empty auditing
room or empty classroom. The point is to localize the commotion
and not stir up the whole Tech Division.

If Tech Division personnel are not available, HCO can recruit
"other staff" anywhere by simply saying "HCO requires you" and
taking them into the interview place.

HCO has a report sheet for such matters, original and one copy
for justice file.

The HCO representative calls for the student's folder and looks
it over quickly for TA action. If there is none (less than 10
divisions/session), that's it. It is marked on the report sheet
"No TA action in auditing" or "Little TA." HCO is not interested
in what processes were run. Or why there is no TA. If the course
requires no meters, the folder is inspected for alter-is (which
denotes a rough pc) or no case changes.

If there are no TA notations in the folder, HCO should put the
person on a meter making sure the person is not wearing a ring.
One asks no questions, merely reads the TA position and notes the
needle and marks these in the report sheet. The tone arm will be
very high (5 or above) or very low (2 or less) or dead thetan (2
or 3), and the needle would be an occasional R / S or stuck or
sticky if the person is a suppressive person. This is noted in
the report sheet.

If the folder or the student in question says he has had no case
gain, this is again confirming of a suppressive person.

If two of these three points (folder, meter, statement) indicate
a suppressive person, HCO is looking for two possible students
when so called in-the one who caused the upset and that student's
coach or student auditor. There very likely may be a suppressive
person on the course that is not this student. Therefore, one
looks for that one too, the second one.

If a bit of questioning seems to reveal that the student's
auditor was responsible, test that student too and enter it on a
second HCO report form. And order the other one to auditing at
the student's own expense.

In short, be alert. There's been an upset. There may be other
persons about who caused it. Don't just concentrate on the
student. There is a condition on the course that causes upsets.
That is really all one knows when one walks in on it. Find out
why and what.

If the HCO tests indicate some doubt about either student being a
suppressive person, HCO asks about a possible withhold and enters
any result on the sheet and sends the student and sheet
separately to the Tech Division, Dept of Estimations. The
procedure is the same for a suppressive person but is "a
withholdy pc who ARC breaks easily" or simply "a withholdy pc" if
no ARC breaks are noted. "Auditing recommended."

But there is a third category for which HCO is very alert in this
interview. And that is the POTENTIAL TROUBLE SOURCE. For this
person may only be audited further if he or she disconnects or
handles the suppressive person or group to which he or she is
connected and can't be sent to the HGC or back to the course
either until the status is cleared up.

If this seems the case, there is no point in continuing the
person in the Tech Division and HCO takes over fully, applying
the policy related to potential trouble sources.

This type of case will probably not be dangerous but quite
cooperative and probably dazed by having to do something about
his situation. He or she has been hammered with invalidation by a
suppressive person and may be rather wobbly, but if the justice
steps are taken exactly on policy, there should be no trouble.
HCO can take a potential trouble source (but never a suppressive
person) out of the Tech Division premises and back to HCO to
complete such briefing. Remember, it is all one to us if the
potential trouble source handles it or not. Until it's handled or
disconnected we don't want it around as it's just more trouble,
and the person will cave in if audited under those conditions
(connected to a suppressive person or group).

A suppressive person found in an Academy is ordered to HGC
processing always. And always at his or her own expense.

If the suppressive person won't buy auditing or cooperate, HCO
follows steps A to E in policy on suppressive persons in the
Justice Codes; HCO may be assisted in this by Tech personnel.

The point is, the situation must be handled fully there and then.
The student buys his auditing or gets A to E. There is no "We'll
put you on probation in the course and if..." because I've not
found it to work. Auditing or suppressive person A to E. Or both.

           THE BLOWN STUDENT

The student, however, may have blown off the premises or be gone
entirely. On a minor, momentary blow, where all it took was the
student's auditor and a few words to get the student back, the
matter is not a real blow.

But where the student leaves the premises in a blow or doesn't
turn up for class, the Tech Division must send an Instructor and
the student's auditor over to HCO Department of Inspections and
Reports. An HCO representative should go with them at once to
pick up the student.

The student is brought back with as little public commotion as
possible, and the procedure of HCO checkout, etc., is followed as
above.

           THE GONE STUDENT

Where the student can't be gotten back (or in all such cases),
the real cause may be a suppressive person in the course itself,
not the blown student or the upset student.

If the suppressive person is on the course (and is not the blown
student), HCO will want to know this. In all such cases the one
who caused the commotion may not be the culprit.

The HCO representative calls for the blown student's case folder
and looks for TA. If there is none or for some reason the student
wasn't audited or if no meters were used on that course, HCO
seeks to find out what the case's responses were to processing.

If the case seemed to change or improve yet the student is gone,
HCO looks over the blown student's ex-auditor for suppressive
characteristics such as satisfaction the pc blew, critical
statements about tech or Instructors, case rough or difficult,
lies about the circumstances, etc., and if such signs are
present, HCO orders the blown student's ex-auditor to the HGC at
the student's own expense.

If this interview with the blown student's auditor seems to
indicate a suppressive person beyond any doubt, HCO orders the
student to the HGC at the student's own expense.

The blown student's course auditor will not be found usually to
be a potential trouble source as these are seldom bad or rough
auditors, so questions about this possibility don't really apply.

But if this student (the blown student's auditor) is suppressive,
it's HGC or A to E. If the student gives on A to E, he or she may
be returned to course or sent to the HGC as HCO deems best.

                ----------

In all such cases where a suppressive person is found, watch out
for legal repercussions by having reliable witnesses present
during such negotiations or upsets and take liberal notes for
possible Comm Ev. This is why there also must be an HCO
representative handling it.

If there is no agreement to be audited and the student who is
found to be a suppressive person will not respond to A to E
(because student has blown and can't be found or because the
student flatly refuses), the student is considered terminated.

A waiver or quit claim is given or sent the student stating

Date ____________________________

Place ___________________________

I, _______________________ having refused to abide by the Codes
of (name and place of org) do hereby waive any further rights I
may have as a Scientologist, and in return for my course fee of
__________, I do hereby quit any claim I may have on (name of
org) or any Scientologist personnel or any person or group or
organization of Scientology.

Signed ________________________________________

2 Witnesses ___________________________________
            ___________________________________

Only when this is signed the student may have his course fee
returned, but no other fees as he accepted that service.

The ex-student should realize this makes him Fair Game and
outside our Justice Codes. He may not have recourse of any kind
beyond refund. And after signing can only return to Scientology
as per policy on Fair Game.

The HGC audits such a suppressive person sent to it on special
processes specially issued by HCOB for suppressive persons. It
will be found that adherence to these policies will make things
in Academies very calm.

Note: Nothing in this policy letter waives or sets aside any
policy concerning the auditing of known institutional cases in an
HGC. Persons with histories of institutionalized insanity may not
be audited in HGC.

       THE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY
         THE ANTI-SCIENTOLOGIST

There are certain characteristics and mental attitudes which
cause about 20% of a race to oppose violently any betterment
activity or group.

Such people are known to have antisocial tendencies.

When the legal or political structure of a country becomes such
as to favor such personalities in positions of trust, then all
the civilizing organizations of the country become suppressed and
a barbarism of criminality and economic duress ensues.

Crime and criminal acts are perpetrated by antisocial
personalities. Inmates of institutions commonly trace their state
back to contact with such personalities.

Thus, in the fields of government, police activities and mental
health, to name a few, we see that it is important to be able to
detect and isolate this personality type so as to protect society
and individuals from the destructive consequences attendant upon
letting such have free rein to injure others.

As they only comprise 20% of the population and as only 2 1/2 %
are truly dangerous, we see that with a very small amount of
effort we could considerably better the state of society.

Well-known, even stellar, examples of such a personality are, of
course, Napoleon and Hitler. Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd,
Christie and other famous criminals were well-known examples of
the antisocial personality. But with such a cast of characters in
history we neglect the less stellar examples and do not perceive
that such personalities exist in current life, very common, often
undetected.

When we trace the cause of a failing business, we will inevitably
discover somewhere in its ranks the antisocial personality hard
at work.

In families which are breaking up, we commonly find one or the
other of the persons involved to have such a personality.

Where life has become rough and is failing, a careful review of
the area by a trained observer will detect one or more such
personalities at work.

As there are 80% of us trying to get along and only 20% trying to
prevent us, our lives would be much easier to live were we well-
informed as to the exact manifestations of such a personality.
Thus, we could detect it and save ourselves much failure and
heartbreak.

It is important then to examine and list the attributes of the
antisocial personality. Influencing as it does the daily lives of
so many, it well behooves decent people to become better informed
on this subject.

                ATTRIBUTES

The antisocial personality has the following attributes:

1. He or she speaks only in very broad generalities. "They
say..." "Everybody thinks..." "Everyone knows..." and such
expressions are in continual use, particularly when imparting
rumor. When asked, "Who is everybody..." it normally turns out
to be one source and from this source the antisocial person has
manufactured what he or she pretends is the whole opinion of the
whole society.

This is natural to them since to them all society is a large
hostile generality, against the antisocial in particular.

2. Such a person deals mainly in bad news, critical or hostile
remarks, invalidation and general suppression.

"Gossip" or "harbinger of evil tidings" or "rumormonger" once
described such persons.

It is notable that there is no good news or complimentary remark
passed on by such a person.

3. The antisocial personality alters, to worsen, communication
when he or she relays a message or news. Good news is stopped and
only bad news, often embellished, is passed along.

Such a person also pretends to pass on "bad news" which is in
actual fact invented.

4. A characteristic, and one of the sad things about an
antisocial personality, is that it does not respond to treatment
or reform or psychotherapy.

5. Surrounding such a personality we find cowed or ill associates
or friends who, when not driven actually insane, are yet behaving
in a crippled manner in life, failing, not succeeding.

Such people make trouble for others.

When treated or educated, the near associate of the antisocial
personality has no stability of gain but promptly relapses or
loses his advantages of knowledge, being under the suppressive
influence of the other.

Physically treated, such associates commonly do not recover in
the expected time but worsen and have poor convalescences.

It is quite useless to treat or help or train such persons so
long as they remain under the influence of the antisocial
connection.

The largest number of insane are insane because of such
antisocial connections and do not recover easily for the same
reason.

Unjustly we seldom see the antisocial personality actually in an
institution. Only his "friends" and family are there.

6. The antisocial personality selects habitually the wrong
target.

If a tire is flat from driving over nails, he or she curses a
companion or a noncausative source of the trouble. If the radio
next door is too loud, he or she kicks the cat.

If A is the obvious cause, the antisocial personality inevitably
blames B, or C or D.

7. The antisocial cannot finish a cycle of action.

Such become surrounded with incomplete projects.

8. Many antisocial persons will freely confess to the most
alarming crimes when forced to do so, but will have no faintest
sense of responsibility for them.

Their actions have little or nothing to do with their own
volition. Things "just happened."

They have no sense of correct causation and particularly cannot
feel any sense of remorse or shame therefore.

9. The antisocial personality supports only destructive groups
and rages against and attacks any constructive or betterment
group.

10. This type of personality approves only of destructive actions
and fights against constructive or helpful actions or activities.

The artist in particular is often found as a magnet for persons
with antisocial personalities who see in his art something which
must be destroyed and covertly, "as a friend," proceed to try.

11. Helping others is an activity which drives the antisocial
personality nearly berserk. Activities, however, which destroy in
the name of help are closely supported.

12. The antisocial personality has a bad sense of property and
conceives that the idea that anyone owns anything is a pretense,
made up to fool people. Nothing is ever really owned.

             THE BASIC REASON

The basic reason the antisocial personality behaves as he or she
does lies in a hidden terror of others.

To such a person every other being is an enemy, an enemy to be
covertly or overtly destroyed.

The fixation is that survival itself depends on "keeping others
down" or "keeping people ignorant."

If anyone were to promise to make others stronger or brighter,
the antisocial personality suffers the utmost agony of personal
danger.

They reason that if they are in this much trouble with people
around them weak or stupid, they would perish should anyone
become strong or bright.

Such a person has no trust to a point of terror. This is usually
masked and unrevealed.

When such a personality goes insane, the world is full of
Martians or the FBI and each person met is really a Martian or
FBI agent.

But the bulk of such people exhibit no outward signs of insanity.
They appear quite rational. They can be very convincing.

However, the list given above consists of things which such a
personality cannot detect in himself or herself. This I s so true
that if you thought you found yourself in one of the above, you
most certainly are not antisocial. Self-criticism is a luxury the
antisocial cannot afford. They must be RIGHT because they are in
continual danger in their own estimation. If you proved one
WRONG, you might even send him or her into a severe illness.

Only the sane, well-balanced person tries to correct his conduct.

                 RELIEF

If you were to weed out of your past by proper search and
discovery those antisocial persons you have known and if you then
disconnected, you might experience great relief.

Similarly, if society were to recognize this personality type as
a sick being as they now isolate people with smallpox, both
social and economic recoveries could occur.

Things are not likely to get much better so long as 20% of the
population is permitted to dominate and injure the lives and
enterprise of the remaining 80%.

As majority rule is the political manner of the day, so should
majority sanity express itself in our daily lives without the
interference and destruction of the socially unwell.

The pity of it is, they will not permit themselves to be helped
and would not respond to treatment if help were attempted.

An understanding and ability to recognize such personalities
could bring a major change in society and our lives.

          THE SOCIAL PERSONALITY

Man in his anxieties is prone to witch hunts.

All one has to do is designate "people wearing black caps" as the
villains and one can start a slaughter of people in black caps.

This characteristic makes it very easy for the antisocial
personality to bring about a chaotic or dangerous environment.

Man is not naturally brave or calm in his human state. And he is
not necessarily villainous.

Even the antisocial personality, in his warped way, is quite
certain that he is acting for the best and commonly sees himself
as the only good person around, doing all for the good of
everyone -- the only flaw in his reasoning being that if one
kills everyone else, none are left to be protected from the
imagined evils. His conduct in his environment and toward his
fellows is the only method of detecting either the antisocial or
the social personalities. Their motives for self are similar --
self-preservation and survival. They simply go about achieving
these in different ways.

Thus, as Man is naturally neither calm nor brave, anyone to some
degree tends to be alert to dangerous persons and, hence, witch
hunts can begin.

It is therefore even more important to identify the social
personality than the antisocial personality. One then avoids
shooting the innocent out of mere prejudice or dislike or because
of some momentary misconduct.

The social personality can be defined most easily by comparison
with his opposite, the antisocial personality.

This differentiation is easily done and no test should ever be
constructed which isolates only the antisocial. On the same test
must appear the upper as well as lower ranges of Man's actions.

A test that declares only antisocial personalities without also
being able to identify the social personality would be itself a
suppressive test. It would be like answering "Yes" or "No" to the
question "Do you still beat your wife?" Anyone who took it could
be found guilty. While this mechanism might have suited the times
of the Inquisition, it would not suit modern needs.

As the society runs, prospers and lives solely through the
efforts of social personalities, one must know them as they, not
the antisocial, are the worthwhile people. These are the people
who must have rights and freedom. Attention is given to the
antisocial solely to protect and assist the social personalities
in the society.

All majority rules, civilizing intentions and even the human race
will fail unless one can identify and thwart the antisocial
personalities and help and forward the social personalities in
the society. For the very word "society" implies social conduct
and without it there is no society at all, only a barbarism with
all men, good or bad, at risk.

The frailty of showing how the harmful people can be known is
that these then apply the characteristics to decent people to get
them hunted down and eradicated.

The swan song of every great civilization is the tune played by
arrows, axes or bullets used by the antisocial to slay the last
decent men.

Government is only dangerous when it can be employed by and for
antisocial personalities. The end result is the eradication of
all social personalities and the resultant collapse of Egypt,
Babylon, Rome, Russia or the West.

You will note in the characteristics of the antisocial
personality that intelligence is not a clue to the antisocial.
They are bright or stupid or average. Thus, those who are
extremely intelligent can rise to considerable, even head-of-
state heights.

Importance and ability or wish to rise above others are likewise
not indexes to the antisocial. When they do become important or
rise, they are, however, rather visible by the broad consequences
of their acts. But they are as likely to be unimportant people or
hold very lowly stations and wish for nothing better.

Thus, it is the twelve given characteristics alone which identify
the antisocial personality. And these same twelve reversed are
the sole criteria of the social personality if one wishes to be
truthful about them.

The identification or labeling of an antisocial personality
cannot be done honestly and accurately unless one also, in the
same examination of the person, reviews the positive side of his
life.

All persons under stress can react with momentary flashes of
antisocial conduct. This does not make them antisocial
personalities.

The true antisocial person has a majority of antisocial
characteristics.

The social personality has a majority of social characteristics.

Thus, one must examine the good with the bad before one can truly
label the antisocial or the social.

In reviewing such matters, very broad testimony and evidence are
best. One or two isolated instances determine nothing. One should
search all twelve social and all twelve antisocial
characteristics and decide on the basis of actual evidence, not
opinion.

The twelve primary characteristics of the social personality are
as follows:

1. The social personality is specific in relating circumstances.
"Joe Jones said..." "The Star Newspaper reported..." and gives
sources of data where important or possible.

He may use the generality of "they" or "people" but seldom in
connection with attributing statements or opinions of an alarming
nature.

2. The social personality is eager to relay good news and
reluctant to relay bad.

He may not even bother to pass along criticism when it doesn't
matter.

He is more interested in making another feel liked or wanted than
disliked by others and tends to err toward reassurance rather
than toward criticism.

3. A social personality passes communication without much
alteration and if deleting anything tends to delete injurious
matters.

He does not like to hurt people's feelings. He sometimes errs in
holding back bad news or orders which seem critical or harsh.

4. Treatment, reform and psychotherapy particularly of a mild
nature work very well on the social personality.

Whereas antisocial people sometimes promise to reform, they do
not. Only the social personality can change or improve easily.

It is often enough to point out unwanted conduct to a social
personality to completely alter it for the better.

Criminal codes and violent punishment are not needed to regulate
social personalities.

5. The friends and associates of a social personality tend to be
well, happy and of good morale.

A truly social personality quite often produces betterment in
health or fortune by his mere presence on the scene.

At the very least he does not reduce the existing levels of
health or morale in his associates.

When ill, the social personality heals or recovers in an expected
manner, and is found open to successful treatment.

6. The social personality tends to select correct targets for
correction.

He fixes the tire that is flat rather than attack the windscreen.

In the mechanical arts he can therefore repair things and make
them work.

7. Cycles of action begun are ordinarily completed by the social
personality, if possible.

8. The social personality is ashamed of his misdeeds and
reluctant to confess them. He takes responsibility for his
errors.

9. The social personality supports constructive groups and tends
to protest or resist destructive groups.

10. Destructive actions are protested by the social personality.
He assists constructive or helpful actions.

11. The social personality helps others and actively resists acts
which harm others.

12. Property is property of someone to the social personality and
its theft or misuse is prevented or frowned upon.

           THE BASIC MOTIVATION

The social personality naturally operates on the basis of the
greatest good.

He is not haunted by imagined enemies but he does recognize real
enemies when they exist.

The social personality wants to survive and wants others to
survive, whereas the antisocial personality really and covertly
wants others to succumb.

Basically, the social personality wants others to be happy and do
well, whereas the antisocial personality is very clever in making
others do very badly indeed.

A basic clue to the social personality is not really his
successes but his motivations. The social personality when
successful is often a target for the antisocial and by this
reason he may fail. But his intentions included others in his
success, whereas the antisocial only appreciate the doom of
others.

Unless we can detect the social personality and hold him safe
from undue restraint and detect also the antisocial and restrain
him, our society will go on suffering from insanity, criminality
and war, and Man and civilization will not endure.

Of all our technical skills, such differentiation ranks the
highest since, failing, no other skill can continue, as the base
on which it operates -- civilization -- will not be here to
continue it.

Do not smash the social personality -- and do not fail to render
powerless the antisocial in their efforts to harm the rest of us.

Just because a man rises above his fellows or takes an important
part does not make him an antisocial personality. Just because a
man can control or dominate others does not make him an
antisocial personality.

It is his motives in doing so and the consequences of his acts
which distinguish the antisocial from the social.

Unless we realize and apply the true characteristics of the two
types of personality, we will continue to live in a quandary of
who our enemies are and, in doing so, victimize our friends.

All men have committed acts of violence or omission for which
they could be censured. In all mankind there is not one single
perfect human being.

But there are those who try to do right and those who specialize
in wrong and upon these facts and characteristics you can know
them.
