Central Orgs Sthil Students
SCIENTOLOGY FIVE PRESS POLICIES

(Tech Dir to Star Rate Examine HCO Sec and Assoc Sec. any HCO Exec Sec and any Special Programmes Director on the Theory and Practical of this Policy Letter and report to me when so done.)

This HCO Policy Letter modifies press policy.

We do not care if Scientologists communicate to the press but if they do
there are certain points to keep in mind.

Certain vested interests, mainly the American Medical Association, a private
healing monopoly, wish to do all possible harm to the Scientology movement over the world in order to protect their huge medical-psychiatric income and desired monopoly which runs into the tens of billions annually. In their congresses they complain that we and people like us cost them 1.1 billion dollars a year that they don't receive.

Their sole interest is income.

 Reference: Minutes of various AMA conferences. Almost all our bad publicity and attacks
are authored by two men, one named Keaton, the AMA press man, and one named Field, their head of
"investigation". These men flood bad tales about Scientology into press, magazines, radio, TV. Their sole interest is a medical psychiatric monopoly for the AMA.

They blind the public to the fact that the crimes of psychiatry are medical
crimes, not crimes of mental healing. The medical-psychiatrist is a very small part of the world of psychiatry. They want it all for physical medicine.

The sole reasons for attack are money and monopoly. If ethics entered into it they would clean up their own failures.

Their publicity goes overseas. The FDA is used by these people and FDA releases are sent overseas.
I don't care whether anyone thinks this shouldn't be or thinks it isn't right. It isn't. It's just fact and we have the evidence in black and white.

We have always had policies of leaving healing alone and not attacking medicine and other areas of psychiatry. Our pay for this is receiving continual bad press. Medical doctors practicing psychiatry are peculiarly vulnerable. Their physiological technology belongs to the 19th
Century. It has innumerable crimes on its hands. Hitler and Stalin held power through medical psychiatry. They associate themselves chiefly with the rich and powerful. They therefore
cannot stand up to any heavy attack. Further they have many averts.  

We are modern, 20th Century. We are of the people. We hate Fascism and brutality. We are the new replacing the old. We have passed the test of survival. Despite 13 years of attack we have
survived. Therefore we must have something and we must be all right. So much for the justice or truth of such attacks.

THE REPORTER
The reporter who comes to you, all smiles and withholds, "wanting a story", has an AMA instigated release in his pocket. He is there to trick you into supporting his pre-conceived story.
The story he will write has already been outlined by a sub-editor from old clippings and AMA releases. He probably knows as well as you do that you are decent and effective.
