What's wrong with a thetan[1. Define: Thetan] is being a thetan, and he gets as right as you let him be something else. You increase his ability to be other things, to do, to have, to move, to compete, to participate, you've got it. Now, if you have a law-enforcement agency around which is always telling people they're not supposed to do, not supposed to act, not supposed to look, not supposed to do this, not supposed to do that, must go out of communication with this, mustn't touch that -- … [Read more...] about Lecture: Auditing Techniques: Workable and Unworkable (1957)
The Police Angle
Lecture: Bodies (1953)
The police, the police are more aberrated[1. Define: Aberrated behavior] than you are and they are very conscious of the fact that nobody must get into competition with them and if there's any way, probably the only way to get into trouble in a police state, is to imitate the government or the police. That's the only way really to get into trouble when justice begins to deteriorate. In other words, collect taxes or extort money and if you do either of these two things, you’re in real trouble … [Read more...] about Lecture: Bodies (1953)
Lecture: Decision (1952)
The way you can aberrate a whole society is take and put a police force over the top of them that permits them to be arrested and manhandled, given traffic tickets and sent to jail and pushed around and taken into courts of law and everything else, and then you don’t let the guy do it himself.

Because the police object to being shot and … [Read more...] about Lecture: Decision (1952)
Lecture: The Anatomy of The Overt Act Part II (1952)
Now, an auditor who is sitting under a parental set of control centers – teachers, parents, grandparents, law-enforcement agencies, anything and everything you want, have put control centers over this individual one way or the other. He is actually working under a set of alien control centers. How can he be himself? He can’t be. Here he is, then; actually, his own limbs are working under the manipulation of others. And where is his? And why doesn’t his control center merely banish all this … [Read more...] about Lecture: The Anatomy of The Overt Act Part II (1952)
Lecture: Chart of Human Evaluation Part 1 (1951)
When the society gets to the point where it is now, a lot of people are down the tone scale.[1. See Tone scale and the numeric designations for each emotion.] In other words, you have a lot of 0.5s, a lot of 1.1s, a few 1.5s and so on kicking around in the society. If a third of the population is below 2.0, they are going to have a sort of a resonant effect upon the society. For instance, in order to suppress the criminal the police pass rigorous laws. It gets to the point where, one day, … [Read more...] about Lecture: Chart of Human Evaluation Part 1 (1951)

The Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc. 211 W. Douglas St. Wichita, Kansas May 14, 1951 THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: You will find that I have reported some of these matters to the FBI in the Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. before but this is getting to a point were the mere delivery of facts into files is pointless. It is more than a belief on my part that the Communist Party or members of the Communist Party have in the … [Read more...] about Letter: L. Ron Hubbard to the Attorney General (May 14, 1951)
