The Church of Scientology have a well documented history of harassing and intimidating former members and critics through its policy they call ‘Fair Game’. Although Scientology claims the policy was revoked years ago, it dictates how to handle those who it perceives as enemies – ‘Suppressive People’ – and remains unchanged to this day.
In these excerpts of Scientology’s policies, you can read for yourself how Scientology handles investigations, what it thinks of government officials and how it justifies its attacks on those who challenge their status quo.
The Office of Special Affairs (OSA) is the department responsible for attacking critics and their activities are governed by ‘OSA Network Orders’, which are based on L. Ron Hubbard’s writings. You can find the PDF of all the OSA Network Orders at the bottom of the article.
Scientology’s harassment tactics are also covered extensively in books such as ‘Fair Game‘ by Australian journalist Steve Cannane, ‘Scientology: The Church of Fear‘ by BBC Panorama journalist John Sweeney, ‘A Billion Years‘ by former OSA boss Mike Rinder, and in numerous documentaries and TV shows including ‘Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath‘ (A&E) and ‘Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief‘ (Alex Gibney/Lawrence Wright).
But the words of L. Ron Hubbard speak for themselves. And here they are:
