Operation De-Opression

[J. Swift]

The Montauk Book of the Dead

Peter Moon, a former member of SO Qual on The Apollo, has written several esoteric books. He weaves Scientology throughout his books. In the book linked above, Moon discusses LRH's Operation De-Oppression in the late 1970's. Moon claims that "De-Op" boomed the Orgs and the Church. He claims that SO got better pay, treatment, and that mission holders and publics benefited. This sounds like an ideal scene.

Moon then takes away all of the win by claiming that oppressive people in the Church took LRH offlines; put him out to pasture; ended Operation De-Op; and reinstated oppression. Moon claims that a "reptoid" energy took over Cos in 1981. I searched ESMB archives and GOOG for De-Oppression and no returns came back. Does anyone have any information on Operation De-Oppression?

Here is one method of De-Oppression that would solve a PTP:

Hi Swifty!

Hello SchwimmelPuckel! What does your screen name mean besides SP?

In the late 1970s, as I recall, there was "de-PTSing (to the middle class)," which became "De-Dinging"; "Flowing Power to Power," per the "Bolivar PL" (the "Power" being LRH or in his direction); crowds of people who had been told they were probably "Dianetic Clear" (by LRH), and were falling over each other, eager to "get on lines" at the "AO" or at "Flag" to do their "OT levels"; and "OTs," on "NOTs," walking around, asking if their bodies were "transparent" yet.

I can remember getting as far away from it as possible.

This guy may be confusing "De-Suppression/De-PTS" (the middle class "wogs" being the main source of "Suppression/PTS") with "De-Oppression."

Damn those Reptoids.

 

[J. Swift]

Damn those reptoids indeed! All of them severally and collectively should be issued Do Not Enturbulate orders by Monique Yingling herself. Oh wait. She had no ecclesiastical authority. DM being reptoid means that he will not issue a DNE. I guess CoS is stuck with the reptoid thing.

Here is a scan from Peter Moon's book in which he states that De-Op was highly classified. The guy was SO Qual on The Apollo. Moon is a very careful, meticulous writer. He takes great pains to say things. Although it is certainly possible, I do not see Peter Moon making a mistake in the terminology given the specifics he provides:

Swift, great to see you post here, I often read your posts on clambake but am not a member so can never say how much I enjoy reading them. I'm happy to have the chance now!

 

[J. Swift]

Thank you SlimJim. ESMB is a great board.

Operation De-Oppression is of interest to me in light of the current scene inside of Scientology. Moon claims that De-Op boomed CoS. If De-Op was a successful action, is it being repeated now?

Conversely, we can ask if De-Op was a ruse, a preemptive strategy to find and identify people who were PTS/SP prior to the Mission Holder Massacre and DM's regime taking power. By offering a seeming openness to change and reform, the Shadowmen could identify who needed to be declared first in the coming Miscavige Coup. This is a hypothesis only and Moon does not offer it. However, Moon does see the FBI raid as a conspiracy against CoS. It logically follows, then, that De-Op could have been done as part of an overarching strategy. In this scenario, De-Op is not generally noticed because of the fallout and distraction from Operation Snow White and the FBI raid.

De-Op: 1976
Snow White Raid: 1977
Fallout from Snow White: 1977-1984ish.

Hi J Swift.

My Memory is very fuzzy about it but I do remember such an operation. We had a mission arrive. One day there was 6 people in my tiny dorm then the next there were two, we were encouraged to make our spaces pleasant, I think there were even libs, it was acceptable to have other interests and some people even went off to enjoy time in clubs on saturday night. We had half an hour of matial arts or Jane Fonda excercise and people changed. They started to get fitter, and even smile more. There was talk about using outbuildings for art studios and guitar workshops. I had time off to get auditing and it felt wonderful. I think it was just to get us ready for the next big shit storm though, never felt it was real. I have no idea where the extra people went, probably on mission. I think the few remaining people had to do the job of all the missing ones, and that meant overwork and so the cycle continued. In other words the same old oppressive shite.

The old man couldnt really have given a flying monkey for the wellbeing of the staff, but he liked us to think he did and that it was always someone else that made out lives hell. It wasnt it all came from him.

From the link, it appears that this book was published in 2005. If that's so, then, in 2005, this person believed (or at least is saying he believed) that, "At age 27, L. Ron Hubbard clinically 'died' only to discover that he could remote view."

He then goes on to recite one of Hubbard's tales about his unpublished manuscript 'Excalibur'.

This person is writing fantasy and building a myth - for whatever reason. No doubt, he's probably smarter than most of the people that read his books.

 

[Smilla]

Please keep posting here - I love your insights!

 

[Kookaburra]

Welcome to ESMB, J Swift. It's nice to see you over here.

 

[J. Swift]

..This person is writing fantasy and building a myth - for whatever reason. No doubt, he's probably smarter than most of the people that read his books.

Agreed. However, Moon would find himself in heavy surf here at ESMB. Don't get me wrong: Moon's book an interesting read. He treats Scientology in a favorable way and imbues it with esoterica that would constitute verbal tech or squirreling. To write his book, Moon exhibits a Rathbunian talent for warping reality in ways that make LRH look saintly. Hence, the ship is not sinking. We have rather cleverly postulated that it is now a submarine. On this basis, we can trumpet the fact that we have used Scientology standardly to transform a ship into submarine. The expectation that this submarine should support human life underwater is a hidden standard. Factually, thetans do not need air. That is a meat body dramatization. Now grab your duffel bag and meter, for we are going deep in search of adventure!

Hello SchwimmelPuckel! What does your screen name mean besides SP?

Nothing really.. Was just the most silly name I could come up with when I needed a cyberspace name. The initials was intentional.

Well, I couldn't very well parade around here without my hat now, could I? - There's ladies present!

Swift,

Definitely glad you're showing up. OCMB needs some new blood. Plenty of life here.

I totally get your MO for Scio analysis. You have to invert the paradigm and tune the woo crystals to get a signal lock. Although church policy is very linear and fascist, it supports a machine that mills the human soul for esoteric purposes.

Through serious absurdities one can glance the wiring of the Hubbardian construct.

 

[La La Lou Lou]

So, I am still waiting. Doesnt anyone else remember the De-Op?

How long did it last and when did the "lets opress them" ethos start again?

Don't know if your aware of L KIN'S Pied Pipers of Heaven.

Awesome book. Think of it as the expanded Xenu universe fan fiction.

Don't know if you're aware of Jim Keith's writings, but he was a big conspiracy author and a former Scientologist. Died of a mysterious black helicopter infection.

Here's his review of a book banned by Scientology:

Back on topic, the Deoppress thing sounds like a social experiment. A test run. Obviously it had a negative effect on the control factor and was scrapped.

Why?

L. Kin didn't regard it as fiction, and the two books that preceded it were not meant to be fiction either.

If one is a Hubbard fetishist, then anything originated by Hubbard - especially his tales, and most especially any secret tales of a spooky or other-worldly nature - become mana from heaven.

A Hubbard fetishist "Churchie" loathes any embellishment by others, but cherishes the pure Hubbard tales; on the other hand, a Hubbard fetishist "Squirrel" sometimes delights in embellishments by others, or at least in his own embellishments.

None, that I've come across, regard the Hubbard tales, or their embellishments, as "fiction," but rather as revelations.

If I want fiction, I can find far superior fiction elsewhere.
