Yes, that piece of LRH data designed to make Scn's more controllable ("You're not happy and feel like leaving? WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES?").
As distinguished from the other bits of LRH data designed to make Scns more controllable.
Good point.People need to do what they think is best. For them selves ONLY. Period. Each has a unique circumstance. And fuck that greater good shit.
When I was in the SO, the most often referenced policy was HCOPL "The Responsibility of Leaders", alias the "Bolivar Policy". This was the true Senior Policy in the Sea Org.There never really was any "greater good" in Scientology.
In reality, it never had anything to do with any "dynamics". LOL
It only meant the "greater good" of people above you on the command channel.

"The Responsibility of Leaders" is David Miscaviges favorite LRH essay. Here's an excerpt from Jefferson Hawkins epic series on Scientology Ethics:When I was in the SO, the most often referenced policy was HCOPL "The Responsibility of Leaders", alias the "Bolivar Policy".

Mike Rinder talks about it
One excerpt, where LRH talks about six maxims for dealing with power. Here's the sixth and concluding point:
Six: When you’re close to power get some delegated to you, enough to do your job and protect yourself and your interests, for you can be shot, fellow, shot, as the position near power is delicious but dangerous, dangerous always, open to the taunts of any enemy of the power who dare not boot the power but can boot you. So to live at all in the shadow or employ of a power, you must yourself gather and USE enough power to hold your own – without just nattering (carpingly criticize) to the power to “kill Pete,” in straightforward or more suppressive veiled ways to him, as these wreck the power that supports yours. He doesn’t have to know all the bad news, and if he’s a power really, he won’t ask all the time, “What are all those dead bodies doing at the door?” And if you are clever, you never let it be thought HE killed them – that weakens you and also hurts the power source. “Well, boss, about those dead bodies, nobody will suppose you did it. She over there, those pink legs sticking out, didn’t like me.” “Well,” he’ll say if he really is a power, “why are you bothering me with it if it’s done and you did it. Where’s my blue ink?” Or “Skipper, three shore patrolmen will be along soon with your cook, Dober, and they’ll want to tell you he beat up Simson?” “Who’s Simson?” “He’s a clerk in the enemy office downtown.” “Good. When they’ve done it, take Dober down to the dispensary for any treatment he needs. Oh yes. Raise his pay.” Or “Sir, could I have the power to sign divisional orders?” “Sure.”
In this policy letter, the real LRH peeks through. Total ruthlessness, support the senior above you while protecting him from any actual criminal liability.
The “Ethics” of Political Power: Scientology’s Worship of Ruthlessness
Jefferson Hawkins was once the top marketing executive for the Church of Scientology and helped it reach its greatest extent with the famous “volcano” TV ads in the 1980s. He’s told his tale of getting into and out of the church with his excellent books Counterfeit Dreams and Leaving Scientology, and he’s helping us understand the upside-down world of Scientology “ethics.”
Where are we going today in L. Ron Hubbard’s world of ethics, Jeff?
JEFFERSON: This week we have a treat — Scientology leader David Miscavige’s favorite L. Ron Hubbard essay. It’s Chapter 6 of the book Introduction to Scientology Ethics, and it’s called “Responsibilities of Leaders.”
THE BUNKER: Really? Miscavige’s favorite essay?
JEFFERSON: I’m not joking. He had everyone on the Base read it and word clear it many, many times. If you disrespected him in any way you got crammed on it. If you failed to comply with his orders you got crammed on it. And one year, he even sent specially bound copies to all of the top celebrities so they would know what was expected of them.

I dunno about a full uniform these days.Hey Terril, remember that crazy-ass Sea Org mission that went into AOSH DENMARK ADVANCED ORGANIZATION in full uniform, demanding to inspect the OT III materials.
They were looking for any evidence (apparently) that the tech had been altered or squirreled--which would obviously be the reason it never worked.
But...ALAS! Those were not Sea Org members, they were blown SPs in fake nautical uniforms. Wait, is that even possible to have a fake version of a fake nautical uniform? LOL
Anyways, Terril, I think it's time for another big-league caper! You and me buddy. We go get some admirals costumes and medals and ....what else do we need? Oh yeah, hell-yeah---we need CLIPBOARDS.
So here's the VFP we are after. We go storming into the Ideal Orgs and DEMAND TO INSPECT their tech. We are looking for the hidden tech, Terril. Know what I mean? The tech the orgs are hiding. The REAL tech that works 100% of the time.
I am totally sure they are hiding it.
We've got to go get it and release it to the world. I think Ron will be so very proud of us!!
You in, buddy?

may not be a popular opinion, but... F that S. Do it at your own pace and handle things as responsible as possible, but get the F out.I don't think this has been covered very much: Scientologists: How to Stay Under the Radar.
Today, more than ever, these tips and suggestions could be very valuable.
I actually developed and used most of these techniques when I was still "in" (as far as the church knew). They worked and made my life easier.
And lose your marriage, your family, your friends, your work. Yeah. Good advice.may not be a popular opinion, but... F that S. Do it at your own pace and handle things as responsible as possible, but get the F out.
If you are "under the radar", one thing you should do is reduce the number of ways they can screw you, because you will never know when they may finally decide to do something about you.And lose your marriage, your family, your friends, your work. Yeah. Good advice.
My god, that dude could talk some shit, couldn't he?When I was in the SO, the most often referenced policy was HCOPL "The Responsibility of Leaders", alias the "Bolivar Policy". This was the true Senior Policy in the Sea Org.

It especially revolves around not telling others of your disaffection who are still on lines. They can:If you are "under the radar", one thing you should do is reduce the number of ways they can screw you, because you will never know when they may finally decide to do something about you.
This especially includes ensuring your work is immune to Scientology. If you work for a Scientology company, find work elsewhere. Use the excuse of wanting to make more money.
The less leverage they have on you, the more likely they will leave you alone.
I said do it at your own pace and do it responsibly. But yeah, I'll stand by my statement.And lose your marriage, your family, your friends, your work. Yeah. Good advice.
As Enthetan said, if you work for a Scio, find another job. Might not be immediate, but don't mess around. If all your friends are Scios and they would disconnect from you if they found out you had different religious views, are they really friends worth having? That's one you'll have to answer for yourself.And lose your marriage, your family, your friends, your work. Yeah. Good advice.
Well, I simply don't have the vast store of knowledge to say "This will work, that won't work." All I presented was tips to help a person stay under the radar if that's what they are doing.I said do it at your own pace and do it responsibly. But yeah, I'll stand by my statement.
To recommend otherwise is like taking someone in a physically abusive relationship and counseling them on how to better appease their spouse so they don't get beat up quite as bad. Because losing their marriage would be horrible.
Let me address this a bit more. My recommendation to people leaving Scientology is to stop playing their game. You don't have to stop associating with Scientologists, you don't have to become an enemy, you don't have to change your life. That's Scientology's game.may not be a popular opinion, but... F that S. Do it at your own pace and handle things as responsible as possible, but get the F out.
Partially agree. But if your Scio friends know that you no longer consider yourself a member of the church, that you no longer believe in the tech or LRH, that you visit sites like this, THEY will disconnect with you and label you an enemy. To fly under the radar, or however you want to term it, means pretending to be something you are not so that people will like you.Let me address this a bit more. My recommendation to people leaving Scientology is to stop playing their game. You don't have to stop associating with Scientologists, you don't have to become an enemy, you don't have to change your life. That's Scientology's game.
Being forced to disconnect from Scientologists is Scientology's game. With a small amount of attention, one can simply avoid that.
Perhaps "flying under the radar" puts the wrong slant on it. I prefer to think of it as disassociating oneself from Scientology without triggering "disconnection". The proper end result of staying under the radar (and ceasing to give them any money) is that you end up living a normal life, associating with ANYONE you choose -- including Scientology friends and family -- period.
