Of the many illogical items in the C of S, the Sea Organization is the most egregious insanity. First of all, this is the Earth, right? Not the home of some off-beat, whole track pseudo-governmental group, nor is it meant to be. We are humans and posses humanity, dignity and love in great quantities.
The Sea Organization's group agreement does not care for the individual people in it at all and has no humanity, as it is Not based on love for humanity., that is very evident.
Okay, sorry, I had to get that out after I read about the "Hole" incident posted on this thread, I felt ill and still do. How much more "Lord of the Flies" can you get than that scene? Psychotic beatings and physical public pillory to induce "confessions?" Where has that been seen before, Torquemada?
Regarding Debbie's period at Flag, the items listed that she participated in during that time are pretty consistent with my long-term observations as well.
She was working in accordance with the group's agreement of degrading each individual staff member as thoroughly as possible. She was quite good at feathering her own nest as well, while this was happening through her orders.
When I was in a staff service position at Flag, I was told I was making things too nice, and ordered to stop it, personally. I was sickened then, and routed out not too long after that.
Debbie was a very functional executive for a very insane organization, there is no doubt about it.
However, her personal actions of courage in the "Hole" are also consistent of my knowledge of some of her actions at Flag. When she felt she had some latitude or reason to change an unjust situation, I know that she did, when she could. I also know this personally as she rescued a friend of mine from the
RPF'S RPF when she saw her there and got her out.
So, there is more than one aspect to most of us, and to her as well, I guess. She is neither 100 percent monster or saint, none of us are.
However, it is not true that she was not also a victim. She was at least victimized in the end by her time in the "Hole," and she was victimized in the beginning by the brutalization process of the Sea Organization.
That all of this is occurring in an organization supposedly dedicated to the welfare of mankind is beyond belief.
But so was what came up in the Nuremburg Trials.
But whenever "the end justifies the means" this type of behavior can occur because, to me,
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
To think that Dianetics was based on the idea of the elimination of physical and mental pain, and it's management thrives on the installation of it.
Everything stated in KSW applies here, except that the one installing the "group think" and running off-beat whole track was LRH.
That he became so twisted a squirrel is a tragedy like watching little Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader.
So has this organization been overrun by adrenalin-addicted storm troopers and their flunkies.
As far as the cadets working for the events with DM at Flag, as far as I am aware, they were involved in building sets, etc. not sexual abuse.
Not to say this never did occur. There was an incident I knew of personally, and the perpetrator, who was in charge of the cadets, was removed and off-loaded. But, no, no police were involved that I know of. Staff cannot report to the police even though policy states they are to do so. They would be declared for doing so, and they know it.
The insanity and evil purpose toward children, families and humankind is so evidenced by posting someone who would have done this in a position of authority over children.
Again, sorry, I just feel sickened by this. I had forgotten/suppressed so much of this in an attempt to be able to live life.
But the truth is that the Sea Organization is evil and insane in the first degree and brutalizes and victimizes all it touches.
And, it is the management organization of the C of S. So any good at all those organizations potentially could or would have done is twisted and crazed by its insane management.
Spin City, indeed.
