Terpsichore:

Below is the report that started the whole mess. I thought the
people I routed it to would jump right on it, straighten it all out,
and be every bit as alarmed about it as I was. Silly me. As it turns
out, it seems that I, in fact, had accidentally struck at the very
core of Miscavige's main two forces for power: SPDs and AVC
International. Without AVC under his control, he couldn't get SPDs
produced and distributed wholesale to effect his various nefarious
operations. But there I was, all wide-eyed innocent. Whoever said
you live and learn only had it half right. Corrected version: "You
live fast and learn slow." Thnaks for archiving these, whoever you
are, wherever you are.

                            HIGH CRIME REPORT

                    TAX COMPLIANCE OFFICER OSA INT
                            AVC INTERNATIONAL

RE: SCIENTOLOGY POLICY DIRECTIVE 2 MAY 1994, "PERSONAL INCOME TAXES"

Ref:    HCO PL 14 JUNE 1965, Issue II, "POLITICS, FREEDOM FROM"
        HCO PL 9 AUGUST 1972, "SENIORITY OF ORDERS"
        HCO PL 23 DECEMBER 1965RB, "SUPPRESSIVE
        ACTS—SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS" (and its
        references)
        The Creed of the Church of Scientology

The writing, authorization, issuance, and enforcement of Scientology
Policy Directive 2 May 1994, "Personal Income Taxes," is a High
Crime, per HCO PL 9 August 1972, "SENIORITY OF ORDERS," which
states:

        "Any practice by which junior issues such as directives
    abolish networks or make off-policy changes can only result
    in the destruction of networks, orgs and tech.

        "This is therefore a HIGH CRIME policy letter and it is an
    offense both to follow or obey or issue any verbal or written
    order or directive which is contrary to or changes or
    'abolishes' anything set up in HCO Policy Letters or HCOBs,
    including the downgrade of 'that's out-of-date' or 'that's been
    cancelled' without showing the  HCO PL or HCOB which revises or
    cancels."

                                                    L. Ron Hubbard

The referenced Policy Directive is in direct contravention to HCO PL
14 June 1965, Issue II, "POLITICS, FREEDOM FROM," which states:

        "2. Politics and ideology may be no part of any decision to
    train or process individuals, and any such interrogation shall
    cease to be a part of any application for training, processing
    or  membership."

                                                    L. Ron Hubbard

This policy directive also contains generalities and falsehoods and
outpoints, e.g.:

    1.  "None of these ideas has ever been sanctioned by the
        Church."

This would make the not-quite-bright believe that his politics and
ideology require Church sanction, which makes a mockery of The Creed
of the Church of Scientology, violates the Constitutional mandate of
separation of Church and State, and, again, seeks to negate HCO PL
"POLITICS, FREEDOM FROM." This one statement, issued over the
imprimatur of "CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL" (which it is) is
all the ammunition any suppressive official or group needs to launch
more attacks concerning Church "control" over its parishioners.

    2.  "These tax schemes are invariably found to be based on
    misunderstood words or misinterpretations of the law."

A bare and bald generality that is also a falsehood, seeking to lump
any and all efforts to legally disconnect from the IRS (a
suppressive group) under the heading of a "scheme" that is
"invariably," etc. This is A=A. It seeks to bar ALL routes for an
individual to pursue in standardly applying the tech on
disconnection to IRS, and so seeks to negate that technology.

    3.  The Directive freely admits that the graduated income tax
        system  is suppressive, then threatens debarment from Church
        services for anyone who seeks to disconnect from that
        suppression.

This is a HIGH CRIME per HCO PL 23 DECEMBER 1965RB, "SUPPRESSIVE
ACTS--SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS":

        "Refusal to allow staff or public to progress up the Bridge
    or creating blocks on the Bridge preventing such progress."

Stripped of its verbiage, generalities, confused ideas, and
falsehoods, this Policy Directive ultimately seeks to debar
individuals from training and processing based on THE SOLE CRITERIA
OF POLITICS AND IDEOLOGY, directly and suppressively in
contradiction to LRH policies.

In HCO PL 14 JUNE 1965, Issue II, "POLITICS, FREEDOM FROM," LRH
states:

        "7. Scientologists may be members of any political group on
    this planet without restraint only so long as these individuals
    or that group do not attempt to seize Scientology for their
    own warlike ends and so make it unworkable or distasteful by
    invidious connection."

                                            L. Ron Hubbard

And, in The Creed of the Church of Scientology:

        "We of the Church believe:

        "That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose,
    assist or support their own organizations, churches and
    governments;

        "That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to
    talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter
    or utter or write upon the opinions of others."

                                            L. Ron Hubbard

Who, then, are these people in high places of trust within the
Church who would put themselves above LRH and Policy, who would use
their positions and power to deny these rights as expressed by LRH,
who would use their positions and power to debar from the Bridge
Scientologists in good standing—Scientologists who have been found
guilty of no crime, who have been charged with no crime,
Scientologists who have had NO recourse to Scientology justice
procedures. And these people in high places in the Church--the Tax
Compliance Officer OSA INT and whoever approved this at AVC
International--would do this in the name of the Scientology justice
codes? It is a sacrilege and a travesty.

I would hope that this issue would be canceled immediately, and that
an investigation be conducted into the purposes and intentions and
connections behind it.
