I agree with everything Joe says here. Anyone doubting should
read more writings by Hubbard. It will then become clear exactly
what Scientology's agenda is. A key way for this cult to make
further inroads into society is through the broad acceptance of
"study tech". If this cancer is allowed to spread, the next thing
you know, Scientology will be trying to gain acceptance of its
"ethics tech", "communication tech", "TRs", "tone scale", "sec
checks", "isolation practices", etc.

I guarantee you Scientology is not going to stop pushing the
insane methods of its founder. Acceptance of the "study tech" is but
another step in a series of long-range goals, accomplished through
Scientology's "public dissemination" policies and "strategic planning".

If you doubt that what I am saying is true, please make yourself
knowledgeable about the aims and goals of Scientology. If you doubt
that Scientology intends to accomplish BROAD PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE AND USE
of Hubbard's "technologies", then it simply shows that you have NOT
studied Scientology enough to have a REAL understanding of the cult
and its founder, Hubbard.

One frightening aspect to Scientology's programs designed and
intended to get Hubbard's "tech" in use by society is that the effort
is a covert and deceptive one. I encourage everyone to read or re-read
"Brain-washing: A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics",
written by Hubbard and published by Scientology's American Saint Hill
Organization. Hubbard falsely claimed it to be an address by Beria to
American students in Russian psychopolitics at Lenin University.
Hubbard, in this manual, defined psychopolitics as: "the art and science
of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties
of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses, and the effecting of the
conquest of enemy nations through 'mental healing'"!

For illuminating insight into Hubbard's anti-"psych" propagandizing
methods, I encourage the reader to obtain a copy of _The Leipzig
Connection, A Report on the Origin and Growth of Educational Psychology_,
published by The Delphian Press (another Scientology controlled entity)
based in Sheridan, Oregon.

Applied Scholastics' Bill Goens, speaker at Scientology's International
Conference held at the Anaheim Convention Center in the summer of 1976,
said: "Our aim is to give our children the hope of the future through the
technology of study, learning and education evolved by L. Ron Hubbard."

At this same conference, Jane Kember, Scientology's Guardian World Wide
gave the opening address. On the subject of "study technology" she said:
"I believe that the correct direction to go is to make the technology
available throughout society.

Scientology's Applied Scholastics purpose is to introduce Hubbard's
methods into the public education systems of the world. This is but a
small step towards eventual public acceptance of ALL of Hubbard's "tech".
