Magazine article: Project Celebrity (1955)

project celebrity

If we are to do anything about society at large, we must do something about its communications lines.

One of the parts of this plan is Project Celebrity.

There are many to whom America and the world listens. On the backs of these are carried most of the enthusiasms on which society runs. It is vital, on our Third Dynamic operation, to put such persons into wonderful condition.

It is obvious what would happen to America if we helped its leaders to help others. Project Celebrity is part of that program. It is obvious what would happen to Scientology if prime communicators benefitting from it would mention it now and then.

Herein you find a list of celebrities. If you want one of these, write us at once, given the ONE celebrity you have selected. We will then allocate this person to you as your game.

Having been awarded one of these celebrities, it will be up to you to learn what you can about your quarry and then put yourself at every hand across his or her path, and not permitting discouragements or “no’s” or clerks or secretaries to intervene, in days or weeks or months, to being your celebrity into a formal auditing session and deliver an amount of good auditing necessary to (1) make him much more effective, and (2) make him aware of the benefits of Scientology on the Third Dynamic.

Finance, your pay, your expenses on this hunt are up to you. Obviously, at whatever future date, the investment will repay itself some dozens of times.

The HASI and HDRF will do this for you:

1. Award the celebrity to you as your quarry.

2. Restrain any other auditor from bothering your game.

3. Give you, tuition free, two weeks of special coaching at the Hubbard Professional College in Phoenix. (You would have to pay your transport and living costs.)

4. Assist by mailings to the celebrity, your actions.

Here we have Project Celebrity. Much later, as part of the Third Dynamic action of Scientology, we will have other comm lines to take over. Just now we have these. They are powerful lines.

These celebrities are well-guarded, well barricaded, over-worked, aloof quarry. If you bring one of them home you will get a small plaque as your reward.

If you want one of these celebrities as your game, write us at once so the notable will be yours to hunt without interference. […]¹
