If the Squirrels Complain – by LRH

The programs will follow . . .

“If the squirrels complain about a program, that’s the one to follow!”

L. Ron Hubbard

Extract from a paper on

CONTINENTAL MAGAZINES

 

 

 

The thing the squirrels most hate are the Ideal Orgs.  They find every out-of-context quote they can to explain why it should not be done, and to try justify their natter.

The reference below gives some of LRH’s thoughts on imposing buildings, and also on owning and using our own broadcasting facilities.  If you can’t manage the whole thing, at least read the bits I put in blue.

The links take you to articles about the new studios.

Excerpt from

Lecture – 28-Sep-1954

CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM AND

LECTURE ON GROUP PROCESSING TAPE TRANSCRIPT

“Now the church also furnishes quarters for auditing, it furnishes offices for auditing.  It keeps the appointments.  And it does not, however, go so far as to always give you a preclear from your own district.  I want to get that real clear, so there’s no quarrel about that, doesn’t always give you — just because a preclear came in from your district is no reason why you’re necessarily going to get that preclear.  It’s going to try to do this, but, you know, after you’ve got about eighteen or twenty preclears from this particular district and you’re supposed to process them all in one week.  The Church might get the idea that you’re going to be a little bit tired processing eighty-nine hours of processing during that week.  You could say, “Well look at all the preclears I got from my district, I can lay off.

“Well, actually, what happens is there is a gross sum of money collected by the church, you see, every thirty days, and a certain percentage of that is handed out, per capita, to all the auditors who are working.  A small percentage, you see?  You get the idea?  In other words, if you produced eight-nine preclears from your area and you only got five to process, you would still be collecting a percentage from the remaining eighty-four preclears.  Something small.  But not because you procured them or anything.  You you just have that as a natural course of human events.  We see that clearly?

“Awfully commercial, isn’t it?  Awfully sordid.  How are we going to make this world brace up and stand to on such a thing, unless we have one of the things which is represented as power in this particular community, which is cash?  And unless an auditor is able to change his — oh I don’t know — have three or four beards to wear and a couple of Cadillacs to drive — unless an auditor himself can put on a sufficiently commanding appearance to the society as a whole, unless the organization occasionally, when it has a couple of dollars it doesn’t know what to do with, build a marble column — build a marble-column church covering eighteen or twenty square blocks, you know, for the kiddies, unless it can do this sort of thing, you are not going to get this job done at all.

“It’s alright to believe in sweetness and light.  The way sweetness and light comes into being is for anything that trips up sweetness and light to be completely dissuaded from operating! You got the idea?

“We have an organization called the AMA, and I do not mean the American Motorcycle Association, and it all of a sudden, it all of a sudden, decides that doctors are failing.  Let let me show you how this sort of thing words in a society.

“We’re actually working for a clear-cut goal.  If we were working for cash alone, this wouldn’t be worth doing.  And I wouldn’t be talking to you tonight.

“But the American Motorcycle Association’s copyist that has stolen its initials, the AMA, is capable of purchasing on TV a great deal of time by which to convince the public that medical doctors do not advertise.  Isn’t that wonderful.  We look at Scream toothpaste, and we see across the top of it, The American Medical Association laboratories pronounce Scream toothpaste a screamer!

“That actually appeared in one of the biggest magazines — not Scream, but the rest of it — The American Medical Association and so on.  Actually appeared in a national weekly here a few weeks ago.

“And yet medical doctors can’t advertise.  Oh, they do!

“They advertise all over the place!  What do you suppose it costs the AMA to get an article into Readers Digest every month?  Huh? Of course they don’t advertise, they just buy everybody up!

“And if you can’t buy a radio program — a TV show — if you can’t buy at least the first half of Readers Digest every other issue you’re not in control of your communication lines! And we have learned that the newspapers of the country would rather write all about what a dog you are, what a bum you are, than how many people you’ve made well.  So, there’s only one way that you could possibly get a wide open communication line, there’s several ways:  machine guns, though, are frowned on. (Laughter)  One way to get a wide open machine gunned line, without using machine guns is to shoot it open with dollar bills!

“KTAR might look at you rather palely, down here, on its TV program, if you went in and said, “Well, we want a program and we want a kid’s program and so forth, and you know, and we’re willing to pay you a little time.  Of course, we’ll have to have the time rather late in the evening because we can’t quite, you know, pay for the cream time.  We can’t go into competition with Jack Benny or something.  And we only want fifteen minutes.

“And they say, the program director says, “Well, we don’t know about that stuff.  And we have a release here from the American Spoodledorf Association that says it is very bad for Spoodledorfs.  And we don’t think we want the program.

“What do you do in a case like that?  Go hide your head?

“We’ve had it happen to us already.  No, for heaven sakes, at least buy the radar station or the radio station or something.  For heaven sakes, do that.  Be effective.  Be efficient.  See, fire the program director and put in one who will accept the program and then run it twenty-four hours a day — Scientology. (Laughter)

“And then the two other programs in the town are getting in your road, do you see, I mean, they’re putting on guys like Red Skelton and things like that and advertising Geritol or something and well, buy them up and cut them off the air!  If they won’t listen to your program, I mean, let’s be effective.  (laughs)

“No, I’m joking now.  Well when I tell you, that the — I wish I weren’t.  (laughing)  Here, let us say, if this were Chicago and we were talking amongst ourselves as how we’re going to succeed along this particular line, we would have to take into consideration the idea that there are a great many Chicago radio stations and TV stations, which are pouring out an awful lot of material without even mentioning us.  Wouldn’t we, if we were talking about this in Chicago?  And part of our program would be: How many preclears have we got to publish in order to buy the central TV station of the town?  See?  We’d be being effective, wouldn’t we?

“Well, of course, I know that a lot of guys have these things above their acceptance level.  But if we’re going to be effective, let’s be effective.  Let’s start playing — let’s start playing with it, and get action.  And the way we do that, if you want preclears, the thing for you to do, is to go out and procure preclears.  And process them.  That’s true, isn’t it?  I mean, if you want them, you’ve got to go get them.”

“And if you’re going to help the rest of the world, the rest of the world is going to help you, too.  And in that way, it will succeed.  And if it doesn’t — isn’t done that way, it doesn’t succeed.

“Now I may have sounded terribly commercial to you, talking to you like this.  It’s very, very easy to agree with the material universe and say, “Well, you have to HAVE before you can DO.”

“Well, unfortunately, you are treating people who have to HAVE before they can DO, and unless you duplicate a little bit, you’ll never get there.  You see how this is?

“Unless they can look out and see solvent individuals and well-represented buildings — representative buildings, and other things, unless they can see these things, they don’t think much of the organization.

“Unless you can command a communication line, you won’t get anyplace.  And the way to command a communication line today is — just as crudely as that, buy yourself a radar — a radio station. That’s easy!  Buy a couple of TV stations!…”

“How would you go about doing that?  Well, simply, the simpliest thing in the world.”

169 Responses to If the Squirrels Complain – by LRH

  1. Minerva says:

    Well, it’s 24 hours after my posting about the new studio, and what did I tell you? Or, more to the point, what did LRH say?
    .
    If the squirrels complain about a program, that’s the one to follow! LRH
    .
    Perhaps for just a minute I thought there might be some begrudging acknowledgment from the Rat in regards to the new studio. I had thought to myself, “If this guy is smart and really wants to upset the apple cart, he will validate this cycle. He will read the LRH quote about squirrels complaining, and he will read the tape excerpt and see just exactly where LRH is at on this subject. And taking all that on board, he may just surprise us all.
    .
    “If he is real smart he’ll come out and say, “Well that is good news for LRH tech and for the overall goal of clearing the planet and dissemination of the tech. It’s about time the Church got into doing something positive on a scale like this.”
    .
    “He could even have tried to take some credit with a few comments like, “They only bought the studio because I, Marty the Lofty, have been pointing out that they need to do more dissemination.”
    .
    “He might even be able to sneak in a few 1.1 comments and some natter as well, if the overall thrust of his response was that it was a positive thing.”
    .
    “Imagine the confusion that he could cause by endorsing this program. We would all wonder if it was a good thing that we had the studio, what with a squirrel saying it was a good thing. Something like that might rattle our cage!
    .
    “And his disciples would be shocked at first and then as they caught on they would be proud of their fearless leader who, for once, spoke the truth. This could start a whole trend of squirrels validating the Church and Management, and defending and applying LRH! OMG – the confusion!”
    .
    “Yes,” I thought, “If Marty is a real Smarty, what he will do to ruin our day completely is he will validate this program.”
    .
    I really was quite worried about it, and I considered taking out the LRH quotes so as not to tip him off.
    .
    I need not have worried. Smarty Marty missed that great trick and instead did the predicted and attacked this program instantly, once again confirming that:
    • He is a squirrel and always will be
    • He is stupid and getting worse
    • This is a good program and one that must be pushed.
    .
    So, all is well.

  2. Linebacker says:

    The Church of Scientology certainly makes a BIG impression these days.

  3. Linebacker says:

    Making a list of Marty’s complaints should be a good index of which programs are succeeding in the Church.

  4. Carl says:

    Minerva,

    I heard the news on the radio this morning and then saw it on the morning news on TV. What a great idea for the Church to get their own TV station. If you go to Google Earth or Bing maps and you can get a bird’s eye view of the studio. This is really big.

    I never pay attention to what the squirrels say. I long ago learned that they’ve got everything reversed anyway, however the LRH quotes you give are 100% accurate. If the squirrels complain about Ideal Orgs, that’s what we should be doing. If they complain about IAS, then we should go for it. I am sure Marty Rathbun will have to post how buying the new studio is all wrong and just proves how the Church is “dead”.

  5. Mike Rinder says:

    I think you should do a parody from Marty Rathbun on how wrong it is for the Church a TV station. I get a kick out of them. Don’t tell Marty I said this.

  6. P.Brown says:

    This is really BIG. It is hard to imagine that we’ve not only got a complete state of the art book publishing facility that can do print on demand of any book or transcript in the LRH library in a whole slew of languages, but that we have our own printing plant as well. And now we will be able to do broadcast television. Now that is thinking BIG!

  7. R. Sharpe says:

    Yes, this is HUGE. Just like LRH said to do it, too.
    .
    I can hear the squirrels squealing already!

  8. R. Sharpe says:

    Well, Squirrel Rathbun keeps whining about Ideal Orgs as “monuments.”
    .
    I say let’s have as many as we can. Let’s bring them on and listen to the squirrels complain.
    .
    Here’s a “monument” to COMMUNICATION and EXPANSION.

  9. Philly says:

    Mike, read Marty’s blog. It’s an almost constant parody of why it’s wrong for the Church to be there and communicate.

  10. Lion says:

    Nice how well received this news has been in the local media. LRH makes a great point, the public sees the affluence and well appointed buildings, and they know us by our mest.
    ..
    Interestingly, local LA news coverage was nothing but impressed and respectful.
    ..
    No word yet on what the media thinks about the Shack.

  11. Linebacker says:

    And Marty will be saying, “What are these places?”

  12. R. Sharpe says:

    These are the kind of things that are represented as power in our society. For that reason alone it’s a great idea.
    Then just imagine what will be produced there, and what new abilities it will add for the Church
    .
    I don’t think we’ve heard anything near what the Church will be doing with this studio.

  13. Sal says:

    Well that is how Flourish and Prosper is done on a grand scale. This is going to be fantastic for dissemination! What a voice we will have.
    .
    Thanks too for the great quotes. A marble column church covering 20 square blocks – kind of puts the Ideal Orgs in perspective doesn’t it.

  14. Sal says:

    It’s only ever a few media that have anything negative to say about Scientology and LRH, and even then, it is only a few idiots within those oganizations that do it.

  15. Pete says:

    Hats off to COB! He’s done it again!

  16. summerwind says:

    brilliant news! I’m dying to see what comes out of this studio. also be interesting to hear the whining of the sheep at marty’s

  17. Trudy says:

    Well, this new facility sure tells the story of the carrying out LRH’s intention to get the job done! All that Rat and his minion rats can do is scream, natter and complain – because all they get is the tiny ole squirrel shack. The Church, under it’s incredible leadership, IS getting the job done. This new facility is one of our most exciting ventures to date! We, and the entire planet, are incredibly fortunate.

  18. Trudy says:

    Yes, and Marty’s big “expansion” was from one shack to another.

  19. Angie says:

    I’m not in so Cal so I’m not familiar with this station, but I looked it all over on google earth and it’s not a small studio from what I can tell. This is very exciting news and I’m really curious as to what will be produced here. Any further word?

  20. Carlos says:

    Great quotes, Minerva. I agree with Linebacker – let’s just make a list of everything Rathbun whines about and go there hard.
    Something from that tape tells me LRH would be very tickled to see all the new Ideal Orgs and properties (and probably is!)

  21. WontGoDown says:

    y’know if Rathbun decided to be a good boy for a while, he might be able to get a job sweeping up at the new studio.
    Just a thought…

  22. Lion says:

    I love that tape, and just re-read the quotes from it. This only helps boost the ‘commanding appearance’ that the Church has more and more of.
    ..
    Those of us who actually get case gain know the substance is there, too.
    ..
    It made me think of how LRH obtained Saint Hill Manor when he went to England. Big splash, big news, commanding appearance. He could have gotten a nice little suite of offices somewhere, but he didn’t. He went for it. Simple.

  23. Philo says:

    LRH long had the intention that we be effective, and reiterates it in this tape. The rest is Q&A and counter-intention.

    The squirrels and SPs like Rathbun only try to make people Q&A instead of being effective.
    Blow them off and leave them in the dust.

  24. F. Lamb says:

    This is a total key-out for me. Every time the Church announces a new Ideal Org, a new social betterment win, a new facility or acquisition like this – it’s a major step forward.
    ~
    The slimy slugs that try to pull us backward, hold us or stop us have to gag every time they hear something like this. And there are plenty of somethings like this happening these days.
    ~
    I don’t care what they squeal about on the entheta forums like Ratbun’s. Deep down it’s painful for them. After all, what are THEY accomplishing?
    ~
    Less than nothing.

  25. Teacher says:

    …and Marty the megalomaniac and delusional fool is sitting there scratching his hatless head wondering how COB is doing all of it without Marty to “help” him. He still has a bad case of delusional cause about his days in the SO, when in fact all he ever did was hold things back.

  26. summerwind says:

    lol. that’s actually a pretty good description of rathbun’s natter board. it does read like a parody of all things squirrely. maybe that’s what makes me check it out every once in a while.

  27. Philly says:

    Like Marty’s new friend at the Voice that he feeds articles to. Yeah – they guy who is rabidly anti-Scientology and anti-LRH. (Oh, but Marty is pro both!)

  28. JonO says:

    I love the LRH viewpoint about controlling our communication lines. It’s a total responsibility viewpoint.
    This new studio will only help with that. A great move, and I’m thrilled to hear about it. It’s all looking good.

  29. Fuerte says:

    “I am sure Marty Rathbun will have to post how buying the new studio is all wrong and just proves how the Church is “dead”
    `
    The butthead rathbun is going to say what he’s going to say. We know he’s not going to come out and say “what a great idea! way to go – huge win! this will really help forward Scientology”
    or any such thing. He’ll find a dozen ways to invalidate it and natter about it.
    `
    This is a schmuck sitting on a canal drinking and soaking up victims’ money, and nattering and not producing a single damn positive thing, but he’ll be imperious and arrogant and make entheta pronouncements about how bad it all is.
    `
    Go fish, Marty.

  30. D.L. says:

    I wondered if you were going to post something about this, and here you are the first ones talking about it.
    I heard this from some people at the org today, and am thrilled as can be. We’ve all been talking about all the things the church can do with this new studio. I can’t wait to see it, but it looks like we’ll have to wait a year at least.
    I’m particularly excited about what this may mean for the African-American Scientologist community, as a number of us have been talking about this today and are very excited about the possibilities.
    I am sure we will all be hearing much more about all of this in the near future.

  31. Datom says:

    Its about time we have a TV station and a line up of shows.

  32. Avalon says:

    LRH said ““Unless you can command a communication line, you won’t get anyplace. And the way to command a communication line today is — just as crudely as that, buy yourself a radar — a radio station. That’s easy! Buy a couple of TV stations!…”
    ~
    I never saw this so thanks for publishing it. Boy! Talk about a comm lag! We should have done this long ago.
    ~
    That is a perfect lRH viewpoint on all of this, too. Just do it, and damn the stops!

  33. Philo says:

    Think of all the years people had to practically walk over Rathbun’s dead body to get things done. His counter intention and covert sabotage cost the Church years and years and many millions in treasury lost. He’s even admitted as much.
    And the dirtbag is still at it, trying to subvert the Church’s efforts from the outside now.
    ~
    I would love to have delivered the news about this studio acquisition to Marty himself, along with a couple of flowers, and a less-than-theta “have a nice day.”

  34. Philo says:

    There will be plenty of whining and inval and entheta about how it doesn’t represent anything, etc., but at the end of the day, we’ll still own the studio, and our capabilities will be that much more enhanced.

    Still, the whining will be entertaining.

  35. Lion says:

    Exactly. And it shows you what LRH would think of the Ideal Orgs and other properties, too!

  36. Philly says:

    Yes. And he got one whole new PC! He’s booming!

  37. Beentheretoo says:

    Gee, doesn’t look like the Church was all that devastated by Marty’s big black PR campaign about it being “dead.”
    Go figure.

  38. Datom says:

    Anyone got the Rat’s’ shack address? We could send him a CB radio. He needs his station too.

    “Rat’ here” thats a 10-4 good buddy. Hey wat r those gad%#$! squirrels doing on my porch!!!!! Is this a F$%^&!@@!! joke. Folks there are squirrels @$8&!shit$##g on my porch. OSA black ops!!! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Black Squirrels wearing David Mayo masks personally trained and handpicked by DM have parachuted on to my porch. 73′s til tomorrow, I have a kettle needs painting black – Rat’!

  39. McMac says:

    I don’t know about that…doubt he can do mest work…the only thing he has any stats for is maybe J&D standup.

  40. 55hardtop says:

    I think this may just mark a brand new chapter in media and media relations. I can’t wait to hear more about this, at the next event I hope.

  41. Christine says:

    He acts stupid so well…I don’t think it is only the decades of practice that makes him good. I think Rathbun thinks stupid is a great tool for his specialty of aggravated deceit.

  42. Christine says:

    If they were whole once, they certainly aren’t anymore. You can’t go running people on lists incorrectly, indicating the improper item and the like, without ripping them apart inside. Psychiatrists do that so well and Rathbun is leading his crew down that dwindling channel.

  43. Sal says:

    Isn’t Marty predictably funny!
    .
    His response to the news is to dive into his bank and some up with a new movie clip that explains to him what is going on. As soon as he has that movie clip he is all set, and can think again.
    .
    I find it astonishing that someone who is tech trained (allegedly) and who has had auditing, cannot see what is in front of them, but has to look at the world through a series of movie clips.
    .
    Anyway, Marty has it all figured out now. We are in the middle of watching the Godfather.
    .
    Anyone for some more popcorn?

  44. Sal says:

    Well here are a few he hates:
    .

  45. Ideal Orgs as covered above.
    Training of Auditors using GAT and in particular, any kind of drilling at all.
    Metering and meter training.
    The BASICS and the drive to get people hatted up as Scientologists.
    Flag and anything it delivers – especially NOTS and L’s.
    Celebrites, especially those that are vocal in supporting LRH and the Church. He goes violent about any that vocally support COB.
    The IAS and in particular any support it gives to 4th dynamic campaigns.
    Reprogramming people for things they missed full EPs on earlier on the bridge, especially Objectives and Clear.
  46. .
    There are others but I am chucking too much to think of them right now. All of these programs enturbulate the hell out of him. Has he ever chosen a loosing battle. LOL.
