[OSA is Scientology's private intelligence agency. HUBBARD is the founder of Scientology.]

II. The Precursor Intelligence Organizations

5. "Public Investigation Section"

On February 17, 1966, the establishment of a professional intelligence agency took place with the founding of the "Public Investigation Section." The mission of the Investigation Section is stated as helping HUBBARD in investigating public matters which seem to impede human freedom. Noteworthy items about these affairs were to be researched and exposed as necessary in order to guide the progress of Scientology:

"As Scientology stands for freedom, those who don't want freedom tend to attack it. The Section investigates the attacking group's individual members and sees that the results of the investigation get adequate legal action and publicity."

The new department was to consist exclusively of professional investigators and use all the means of and perform all the functions of an intelligence service and a propaganda office. It was specified that all Scientology organizations with at least 150 people people had to have such a department. In particular, HUBBARD pointed out:

<"The personnel for this division will be sought through confidential advertisement. We give out only our telepone number and interested people will be called in ... for an interview. In the selection of these personnel, the greatest caution must be used, primarily in regards to the the former activities of these people. ... One will see that the division has all the useful function of an espionage and propaganda agency. It finds the necessary data and sees that it is handled. ... We use conventional espionage techniques. The Division maintains a folder on every project and folders of name of people inside these projects. This index also contains cross-references, etc.">

It further stated:

"This section should recognize that the media and the public are interested in murder, assault, destruction, violence, sex and dishonesty, in that order. Investigations which can uncover these factors in the activities of individuals or a group attacking Scientology are valuable in the degree that they contain a number of these factors."

HUBBARD substantiated his understanding of research and how this should occur in a short Policy Letter, which has already been cited, on the subject of "Attacks on Scientology":

"NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology. ONLY agree to an investigation of the attackers. ... This is correct procedure: (1) Spot who is attacking us. (2) Start Investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse using our own professionals, not outside agencies. (3) Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them. (4) Start feeding lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press. Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way.

HUBBARD's justification for this method of procedure was his alleged long-term experience that anybody who attacked Scientology was a criminal:

"There has never yet been an attacker who was not reeking with crime. All we had to do was look for it and murder would come out."

Groups which attack Scientology, according to HUBBARD, to express it cautiously, are not "mentally sound." According to the Scientology "technology," this means that they are hiding shameful facts and areas which have to be exposed - as in individual auditing - so that these areas of "mental illness" can be removed from society. HUBBARD's tactic is to turn the tables and put the attacker in the role of the one being attacked, which is supposed to justify itself. From his point of view, this process had always been successful:

So long as we neglect our role as auditor-to-the-society we will be attacked. ... The way to seize the initiative is to use our own professionals to investigate intensively parts of the society that may attack us. Get an ammunition locker full. Be sure of our facts. And then expose via the press.
