(Excerpt from the booklet [Renate Hartwig: Ref: directreport Nr.1, 2003])
For six years
now the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (OPC) is keeping the Church of Scientology under surveillance.
As methods of political manipulation are not well enough known, neither to
the concerned not to the general public, we want to shed a bit of light
onto one aspect of the intelligence operation targetting the Church of Scientology :
The infiltration of the "Free Zone Association" (Freie Zone e.V.[Ron's Org])
in Munich, Germany.
A
politician once formulated the socalled "Scientology problem" of
the government briefly and to the point like this:
"The
problem with the Scientologists is that they are not domesticated."
This is an
interesting argument for the unconstitutional campaigning of a government
bound to be neutral in religious matters. The idea that an individual or a
group might not be domesticated puts the hair of a certain type of
politicians on edge. Law or no law - some have the tendency to control, each
and everything within their reach.
Domestication
[latin], Taming,
breeding, the changing of a wild animal into a domestic animal, in which
process, partly through planned breeding (selection of the desired
mutations) and crossbreeding, changes occur during generations in the build
(physique), performance and behavior. Typical characteristics/signs: Reduction/Decrease
of the relative weight of the brain, brindling of the coat, development of
wool, shortening of the snout, earlier sexual maturity, increased meat,
milk and egg production, but also increased susceptibility to illness. [Ref: Bertelsmann Lexikon
2001]
The Church of Scientology has the know-how to
cancel other-determined "domestication" and replace it with a
sense of responsibility for the common good. This know how is summed up
under the term "Auditing". Man can be free and at the same time
be responsible - but not all desire this.
At 15 December 1995 the Conference of
the Ministers of Interior decided:
"Opposing
the activities of the Scientology-Organization should be continued. In that
it should be considered [...] in particular to punish the practicing of
Auditing through the use of penal law and if necessary to stop it by the
application of security law."
Here within
one sentence, the target is formulated which some politicians in Germany have set some years
ago. To a certain extent the Federal Government and State Governments are
working on that since 1968. When all other attempts had been exhausted in
long fights and had proven not to be efficient enough, the political secret
service of Germany, the Office for the
Protection of the Constitution, in 1997 got the order, as the last
available remedy, to stop Scientology with secret service methods.
A simple
and very successful tactic of governments and its secret services is to
seemingly ally with the opponent of the opponent, or, of course, to first
create and build up an opponent for the opponent. "Divide et
Impera", divide and rule, is the short-version for such a strategy,
tested since millenia. Cesar wants to conquer Gaul, so he pays the
leaders of some tribes for their benevolency and thus in short time
conquers all of Gaul (France). The US government has done
it in the Indian wars and has fought its battles with some tribes with the
support of some others. The British applied this in India and on the European
continent, the Germans did it in WW II (for example in the Baltic states).
The CIA knows this technique and uses it today on the whole planet.
The
temporary "ally" of the government, and, respectively its secret
service, is an ally of course only temporarily - till the time the purpose
has been reached. At this moment the tool loses its value and with that
ends financial support, protection, benevolency, praise etc - all the
things that one had to say and do to win this "ally". History
offers plenty of examples.
To be
successful with such a strategy the respective conquerer/government(secret
service depends on traitors or fools. There is plenty of it in each
generation. The technical term for such fools has been coined by Lenin - he
called them "useful idiots".
THE FREIE ZONE e.V.
The goal of
the "Freie Zone e.V." (Free Zone Assoc., Munich) is, according
their official self-description is:
"Our
goal is to apply in freedom the technology and philosophy of L. Ron
Hubbard, the founder of Scientology." (Ref: [http://www.freezone.de])
In this
self-description there are additives and explanations, but this is the
defined goal.
THE
OFFICIAL GERMANY
It would be
easy to reach this goal if there didn't exist an organized and bitter
opposition of certain interest groups. They succeeded in influencing the
"official Germany", meaning the
Federal Government and State Governments and their organs. And, of course,
the media. What does this "official Germany" says about
the goal of the Free Zone, LRH, the tech and its most important
application, auditing?
ABOUT
LRH
Who was L.
Ron Hubbard?
[... ] There he got to know the psychoanalysis of
Sigmund Freuds and its therapies. From parts of this theory and other
psychological concepts Hubbard developed a method for the manipulation of
the human mind. [... ]
Scientology is a technical ideology for the control of
the individual as well as all of society. (Ref:
Bavarian State Government, [http://www2.stmi.bayern.de/infothek/scientology/system/f2.htm])
ABOUT
THE TECH AND ITS APPLICATION "IN FREEDOM"
On December 15, 1995 the Conference of
the Ministers of Interior recommended the implementation of the so called
"sect filter": "In
that it should be considered,
- to make sure that public offices in the area of
fiscal matters include declarations as part of contracts with external
companies, especially consultation and training companies, in which in
suitable cases the companies declares,
1. That the company does not work according to the
technology of L. Ron Hubbard,
2. That neither the staff nor the management are
trained in the technology of L. Ron Hubbard respectively do not take part
in courses and seminars according to the technology of L. Ron Hubbard,
3. That the management objects to the technology of L.
Ron Hubbard for the managing of the company respectively for carrying out
training seminars,
- to create legal regulations for the commercial
activities of organizations like Scientology in the area of psycho-life
help,
- that the health and criminal prosecution authorities
use all possibilities to punish any illegal practice of medicine per the
penal law and if necessary prohibit it per security law, particularly the
practicing of Auditing."
(Ref:
Decision of the Conference of the Ministers of Interior 1995, quoted in the
final report of the "Working Group SC of the Offices for the
Protection of the Constitution" of 1997)
This filter
not only was recommended but it was implemented. As an example here a
filter as it is in use in Bremen today:
I, the undersigned, declare
1. That I respectively my company do(does) not work
according to the technology of L. Ron Hubbard,
2. That neither myself nor my employees are trained
according to the technologies of L. Ron Hubbard,
3. That I object to the use of the technology of L.
Ron Hubbard for the managing of my company/the running of my
seminars."
(Ref:
Information of the Senate of Bremen of 3. Dec. 2002,
printed matter 15/1316, Citizenship of Bremen)
Thus Bremen - and other German
states and companies - demand of me "that I declare ... that I object
to the technology of L. Ron Hubbard."
ABOUT
THE TECH
Through efficient techniques of behavior control and steering, the "technology", staff members but also the active
members in a manipulative way are put under permanent pressure to behave in
a certain way ...
(Ref:
Bavarian OPC Report 2002, page 205)
The
Bavarian OPC - other states formulate it in a similar way - thus defines
the tech as "behavior control and steering" - the exact
opposite of what it is and does.
Reminder:
"Our
goal is to apply in freedom the technology and philosophy of L. Ron
Hubbard, the founder of Scientology."
ABOUT
AUDITING
The "preclear" (PC) has to tell to the
auditor in a procedure similar to an interrogation all his negative
experiences which have accumulated on the so called time track during his
life, all problems, but mainly all his own offences and special likings.
[...] At the beginning of the session the auditor puts the preclear in a
condition similar to hypnosis to make it easier for him to
"confess" his secrets, including the most intimate incidents and
serious offences.
(Ref:
Bavarian State Government,
http://www2.stmi.bayern.de/infothek/scientology/system/f10.htm)
In
"auditing sessions" which go on for hours and which include elements
of hypnosis, the participant, with the use of a kind of lie detector; has
to make his "soul confession". [...]
Through
these manipulations he slowly gets into a mental dependency [...] (Ref: OPC Report
Baden-Württemberg,)
Auditing can be understood as a method of conditioning
and the use of the E-meter as a bio-feedback. [...]
(Ref: Excerpt from the financial expertise "Effects and risks of
unconventional psycho- and social techniques by the Bavarian Government,
Dec 2002)
What
experts! Here the OPC lets its analysts study writings by L. Ron Hubbard
for years and the Bavarian Ministry of Interior pays thousands of Euros to
"scientists" to reach the conclusion that the preclear is put
into a condition similar to hypnotic state to "make it easier for him
to confess most intimate incidents"! Do these "analysts" think so little?
Not even the most green beginner in Scientology has read such in the course
materials nor has he ever read anything like this into the materials.
Unable experts? No. The OPC has its department for psychological warfare
and such writings are called "disinformation". These experts
twist the facts purposely.
Several
of the state offices of the OPC installed a few years ago
"hotlines" which could be called to relay any discriminatory
facts about Scientology, unproven and anonymous so that they could gain new
realizations. Ostensibly this is being done to protect the constitution of Germany, our democracy. But
has the OPC ever installed a hotline for organized criminality, for drug
trafficking, for modern slavery or for child pornography? For groups and
subjects which according to the latest trends since years have justified
the surveillance of private apartments, to install video surveillance over
a wide area and to generally restrict human rights according to the salami
tactic? No. There is only a Scientology-hotline. Isn't that of interest?
Can something be learned from that?
From the
Schill-fraction Hamburg in the Hamburg Senate of 6 March 2003:
Demands
which have existed for quite some time, have to be made a reality. And here too
clear cut directions from Bavaria: "In the frame of penal code
evaluations in relation to the Scientology-Organization, the delivery of processing-courses
for auditors, who do not have a license according to §1 of the Healing
Practitioner Law are to be penalized according to §5 of the Healing
Practitioner Law.
But who
of us has a license as a Healing Practitioner?
Reminder:
"Our
goal is to apply in freedom the technology and philosophy of L. Ron
Hubbard, the founder of Scientology."
The
intention of Becksteins, Cabertas and other similar minded persons is
totally clear and has been pursued for years by the state with all means.
That intention is to forbid the application of the tech. Foremost, it was
Beckstein who in 1997 forced through a hesitating Federal Minister of
Interior, Kanther, the observation of Scientology by the OPC. No more
running of ARC breaks, no erasing of engrams, no Life Repair, no more
Grades, no Clears and no OTs. Over! Forever we were supposed to become the
effect of billions of incidents from the past. Being constructed was a
super-controlled society with gene-banks, Surveillance cameras,
"suspicion-independent controls" and state
psychiatric/psychological "life help". No more releases, no more
key outs. The end of the dream of freedom, power and immortality. That is
the goal of Beckstein, Caberta and a handful of others, and the OPC does
its part as the executing organ.
Freedom
of our own real self and our abilities, or the lengthy and painful death of
consciousness in a "beautiful new world". Those are the
alternatives.
THE
INTEGRITY OF BERND LUEBECK
What
does this have to do with the Freie Zone e.V.?
Unfortunately
more than what's visible on the surface and quite more so than wished by
those who care for a good and beautiful life mainly on the first two
dynamics. Let's not forget: Scientology was made a political issue of the
first degree in Germany, and there are
groups and powers at work who do not show their faces on the first pages of
the media.
In 1991
Bernd Luebeck was a driving force behind the founding of the association
"Freie Zone e.V." in Munich, the first group of the Free Zone
which turned into a group with an official legal body and reached opinion
leader status amongst the loose groups of Free Zones in Europe.
What
else was happening at that time? In 1991, the Church of Scientology carried out a
massive campaign against plans to legalize drugs. 1991, Jeannette
Schweitzer left the Church to then, with the support of the OPC - begin her
travels through the media. In 1991, Ursula Caberta filed a penal complaint
against the Church for "formation of a criminal organization"
(which was later on dismissed), the Federal Office for the Protection of
the Constitution produced its first expertise about Scientology in 1991,
and Renate Hartwig showed up in 1991, to soon be led by the OPC to become a
media star and advisor for agencies and companies. After a few years of
peace, the year 1991 became the starting point for a well prepared and
coordinated campaign against the Church of Scientology in Germany. It culminated
between 1994 and 1996 and has since ebbed down.
In this
overheated atmosphere of 1991, Luebeck founded the "Freie Zone
e.V." and became its president and has since then dictated its
strategy, PR work and legal items in the Free Zone. Nothing better could
have happened to the enemies of the Church of Scientology as a
"competition" offered many possibilities. "Divide et
impera". An organized competition to the Church, it was thought, would
weaken the Church through a loss in membership, the obtaining of
information would be facilitated and the infiltration of the Church with
the help of "scooped off" know-how from trained former members of
the Church could be made to look more real. Speculation? An outrageous undocumented claim?
Not at
all. Luebeck was forced - after his relations to the OPC had been made
public on www.freiezone-da.de - to acknowledge them publicly. In a
declaration in a section entitled "How do I know the Free Zone isn't a
cover organization for the Church of Scientology" he says: "Indeed, members of the Free Zone have now and then
worked with state organs to observe the Church of Scientology and their actions." (Ref: www.freezone.de/ro/german/antworten.html)
(Please
note: if you click now on this link you will find that this statement has
been deleted. That’s right, after I exposed this on the Internet Luebeck
immediately ran for cover and removed the paragraph. Unfortunately, for him,
I downloaded the original page with the original paragraph included.)
Say
what? Yes. Cooperation with state organs who observe the Church of Scientology. That is the OPC
and its various state offices. First of all, of course, the Bavarian OPC.
How this office evaluates LRH and auditing - see above: Auditing is
"hypnosis, manipulation, fraud". Who if not Bernd Luebeck as opinion leader
of the Free Zone organized, furthered, kept quiet and endured this
cooperation? And how does this cooperation look like? Details are not being
mentioned by the President. On his homepage he speaks of "seeking
contacts with politicians" and "attempting to correct false
impressions". It says they are working together with the OPC. The
details would be of great interest - form and extent and degree of honesty
of the information which was delivered, what payment was agreed upon, which
media representations and articles were organized by the OPC, etc.
OPC staffs
are officials and carry out what is being ordered by the political
leadership. To calm down the OPC is thus a wasted effort. The highest chief
of the Bavarian OPC is Gunther Beckstein, for years a big political agitator
in Germany to end the application "of the technology and the
philosophy of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, in freedom". And
thus the goal of the Free Zone will never be reached. Beckstein is using
his annual OPC reports which he gets since 1998 year after year in the hope
to achieve a ban of Scientology and the application of the technology.
(More to the background of the observation of Scientology by the OPC are here).
Nobody should
be so naïve as to believe that the attack is against the Church of Scientology
as an organization. The organization as such is totally unimportant. The
organization is only of interest as the necessary means to apply the tech
of Scientology and to make it known.
On one
side „Our goal is to apply in freedom the technology and philosophy of L.
Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology" and on the other side,
"Indeed, members of the Free Zone have now and then worked with state
organs to observe the Church of Scientology and their actions."
There
are limits one should not pass if one wants to retain at least some
integrity. What Bernd Luebeck is engaged in is treason to Scientologists
and members of the Free Zone in the same way. And beyond that to all - who
knowingly or unknowingly - want to go free.
TRAITOR
or "USEFUL IDIOT?"
Is Bernd
Luebeck aware how destructive his actions are? I don't know. It doesn't
matter for the result of his actions. But if one inspects this question a
bit closer, it actually means "are his justifications so solid that he
himself believes in them and that he can't see anymore, or does he feel an
intentional secret joy in working on the destruction of the
technology?" One is as crazy as the other.
I assume
that he does not have any character and no mark, perhaps he has a
"charming" valence but he does not have his own "I" and
for a long time has had no feeling for truth. In 1981, when he was a staff member of the
Church of Scientology, before there was such a thing as the Free Zone in
Germany or elsewhere, he stood by when his own Church was defrauded for 1
million DM in the purchase of a new building. Why? Because he had personal
debts. He had found the new building, participated in the sales talks and
received a commission for his work. He knew that the seller would have sold
the building for 1 million DM less to the Church but he remained silent and
made the Church pay 1 million DM above the market price. As result then
Luebeck put in his pocket a higher commission.
At this
point he had already been for five years a staff member of the Church of Scientology in Munich. The Church was
facing in all of Germany an attack which had
been begun in 1978 by the Federal government and was flanked with dozens of libelous
news articles every week. And he, Luebeck, member of the Guardian Office of
the Church was responsible to help the Church to survive those attacks,
betrayed his friends and colleagues for 1 million DM! Because he "had to pay
his debts". Later, after his fraud had been uncovered, he was upset and
promised to make good the damage so as not to be declared a suppressive
person. He succeeded even if the org did not want to have him as a staff
member anymore and dismissed him - who would have been able to ever trust
him again? How much of that damage did he make good since, how much did he
pay back? Not one cent. Instead he began to criticize the Church (no
wonder) and a few years later he entered into a deal with the Office for
the Protection of the Constitution.
"I reported this data to those staff in the org
who dealt with the sale. I should have reported that the building had
previously been offered for 5 Mill DM. Thus I caused the org a loss of 1
Mill DM plus the commission which I received from Mr. B. S.
(27,000DM)." (Bernd
Lübeck).
Traitor or
useful idiot? One of the two. A more important question is however: How did
he manage to engage in this PR coup? How did he convince his
"friends" in the Free Zone, with what sweet words and
explanations did he sell his treason? How did he succeed to portray this as
a pro-survival action and sell the cooperation with an instrument of the
enemies of Scientology? His argument is: to protect the Free Zone. "We
will give them what they want from us and in exchange they leave us
alone." For how long?
With the
subject of Scientology one doesn't do such deals, and such a president
should not be trusted.
PRICE OF
FREEDOM
The
price of freedom is constant alertness; constant willingness to fight back,
said L. Ron Hubbard, there is no other price. Bernd Luebeck, however
believed, there was another one. Going to bed with the state power, giving
up instead of holding the position, giving up ones own integrity instead of
showing muscles and demonstrating courage. His solution for the problems of
life was the selling of his soul for a bowl of peas.
He put
at stake the powerful technology of Scientology and thus your and my
eternity. Why? Cowardice.
And with
great probability, for money. In the recent scandal concerning the ban of
the NPD it came out that every 7th person in the Federal Board of the NPD
(in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern even the whole Board!) had been bought by the
OPC. The OPC gave many former Scientologists for their performances in the
media "financial support", and they also tried to bribe members
of the Church. That's the level which Bernd Luebeck sank to.
