Squirrelling is one of those "a-ha" moments for me...
In the early days, it's all about whatever's true for you yada yada yada, use what works yada yada yada
and then all of a sudden , you need to be 100% agreeable...

When was that?
"
There was a difference between the ideals inherent in the Dianetic hypothesis and the actions of the Foundation in its ostensible efforts to carry out these ideals. The ideals, as I saw them, included non-authoritarianism and a flexibility of approach. The ideals... continued to be given lip-service, but I could see a definite disparity between ideals and actualities."
Dr. J.A. Winter, who wrote the Introduction for 'DMSMH' in 1950, from his book, 'A Doctor's Report on Dianetics', 1951.

"
In a healthy and growing science, there are many men who are recognized as being competent in the field, and no one man dominates the work... to the extent that Dianetics is dependent on one man, it is a cult."
John Campbell, editor, 'Astounding Science Fiction', 1951.

In March 1955, Hubbard wrote the 'Manual on Dissemination of Material'.
"
Never defend. Always attack...
"
If you discover that some group calling itself 'precept processing' had set up and established a series of meetings in your area, you should do all you can to make things interesting for them.... The least that could be done in such an area is the placement of a suit against them... The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win.
"
The law can be used very easily to harass... If possible, of course, ruin him utterly."
___________
And from the 1959 'HCO Manual of Justice':
"
Overt investigation of someone or something attacking us by an outside detective agency should be done more often and hang the expense. It's very effective. Often an investigation by a private detective has alone closed up an entheta source or a squirrel organization...
"
Tell the detective, 'We don't care if they know you're investigating them for us. In fact, the louder the better'."
__________
And these instructions regarding a squirrel group:
"
Any meeting held by them should be torn up. The names of persons attending should be collected...
"
Treatment - They are each fair game, can be sued or harassed...
"
Harass these people in any possible way..."
'HCO Executive Letter', 27 September 1965

23 December 1965,
'Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists:
"Suppressive acts are defined as actions or omissions undertaken to knowingly suppress, reduce, or impede Scientology or Scientologists.
"Such suppressive acts include public disavowal of Scientology... public statements against Scientology.
"[Suppressive acts also include]
continued membership in a divergent group; continued adherence to a suppressive person or group pronounced a suppressive person or group by HCO; failure to handle, or disavow, or disconnect from a person demonstrably guilty of suppressive acts; being at the hire of anti-Scientology groups or persons."

The Class VIII Course was developed in 1968. Its product per the pack was “
A zealot for Standard Tech.”
"
You say, 'Yes, but this PC could sit there for a month without any auditing.' It’s god damn well better he did. If there’re two people who have entirely different opinions on what ought to be done with this case, then either one or the other of those two different people do not know standard tech, because if they knew standard tech they would not have any divergence of opinion."
And this part, which is a fine example of hypnotist Hubbard's doubletalk:
"
Standard tech isn’t what I say it is. It’s what works. And what works has already been established. So it isn’t for me to say it’s different. And it isn’t for anybody else to say it’s different either, because we fought for it, and we won it the hard way. Now let’s consolidate it."
See!?! Dr. Winter and John Campbell were wrong in 1951 when they said those terrible things! Scientology is anti-authoritarian!
Class VIII student being thrown overboard into the filthy, sewage-ridden, dock water. He probably disagreed with Scientology's anti-authoritarian teachings.
