Provenance/Source of Acquisition Gift of Donald A. Westbrook, Ph.D., 2015. Accruals No immediate additions to the collection are anticipated; though the donor indicated a possibility of addiitions in the future. Processing Information Collection was received from Westbrook in folders and archivally sound boxes, so processing was minimal. Monographs, CDs, DVDs, periodicals and other "loose" items were placed into folders. Folders containing too many items were broken into multiple folders. Items too large for standard folders were removed to larger folders. Once a series arrangement was established based on Westbrooks's groupings of materials, some folders were re-boxed. Monographs and related items were originally boxed in early boxes (boxes 1-6). In anticipation that these items will be cataloged individually, these items were moved to the later boxes (boxes 16-21). FBI files obtained through FOIA were received on a USB drive. Files were copied to repository server for preservation and copied to CD and placed into folder for patron use. Due to the volume of these documents, only the first page of each file was printed and placed into folder. Biographical / Historical Biography Donald A. Westbrook (1985-) received his Ph.D. in Religion from Claremont Graduate University in 2015. His dissertation on the history of Scientology was produced with logistical assistance from the Church of Scientology International in Los Angeles and based on formal and informal interviews with dozens of Scientologists across the United States, with the largest number conducted in the Greater Los Angeles Area. As of August 2015, Westbrook has completed ethnographic fieldwork on Scientology in Los Angeles, CA; San Jose, CA; Clearwater, FL; Tampa, FL; New York, NY; Washington, DC; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV; Salt Lake City, UT; Florence, KY; Boston, MA; Portland, OR; Bay Head, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; and London and East Grinstead (England). His Scientology monograph is forthcoming and he has written numerous articles and book chapters on the subjects of new religious movements (NRMs) and Middle Eastern Christianity. He has lectured on Westbrook Scientology Collection H.Mss.1067 2 these topics at universities in the United States, England, Scotland, Belgium, and Estonia, and as of 2015 is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Church History at Fuller Theological Seminary (Pasadena, CA). Westbrook received an M.A. in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary (2009) and B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley (2006), where he studied as a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholar. Brief History of Church of Scientology The Church of Scientology traces its founding to Los Angeles (1954), where it was incorporated on the basis of the religious philosophy of writer L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986). Scientology’s intellectual antecedent was Dianetics, which enjoyed grassroots and popular success in the early 1950s as a result of Hubbard’s Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health (1950). The earliest Dianetics centers and Scientology churches of the 1950s were incorporated in the United States, for instance in Elizabeth and Camden, NJ (1953) in addition to Los Angeles, CA (1954). However, by the late 1950s, the church had a significant and growing international presence, in part due to Hubbard’s travels and lectures abroad and the relocation of international Scientology headquarters to London and then East Grinstead (England). By 1967, the locus of Scientology operations shifted again when Hubbard created the Sea Organization (Sea Org), the church’s fraternal order and most senior management body, originally based on ships in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. In 1975 Hubbard and the founding members of the Sea Org returned to the United States, eventually settling in Clearwater, FL, now home to the second-largest concentration of Scientologists in the world (after the Greater Los Angeles Area). Until his death in 1986, Hubbard continued to develop and systematize the theology and practices of Scientology. After his passing, the administration and oversight of the church has carried on through a number of ecclesiastical entities established in the early 1980s. The most prominent of these is the Religious Technology Center (RTC), which holds the trademarks of Dianetics and Scientology and is responsible for the pure and orthodox application of the religion. The head of RTC, and the ecclesiastical leader of Scientology, is David Miscavige (1960-), a second-generation Scientologist who worked with Hubbard and has held numerous other senior positions within the Sea Org.

Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology. Most of the copyrights of these materials belong to the L. Ron Hubbard Library and are published by Bridge Publications, Inc. or Golden Era Productions.

    BOOK 4.book Page 1 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM SCIENTOLOGY Making the World a Better Place Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self. Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life. This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject: first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And from this comes the subject matter you are about to read. Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life. In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application. Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission, listed at the back of this booklet.

    Sogni Rubatirubati

    SogniSogni RubatiRubati © Di Jeff Hawkins, 2008. Tratto da http://counterfeitdreams.blogspot.com/ Traduzione in italiano © Simonetta Po per “Allarme Scientology” www.allarmescientology.it , 2009 Prefazione del traduttore Jeff Hawkins è stato staff della Chiesa di Scientology per 35 anni, la maggioranza dei quali in Sea Org. Per tutta la sua carriera si è occupato di promozione e marketing, ha tra l'altro lavorato, curato e diretto le riviste interne e ha progettato e lanciato alcune tra le campagne pubblicitarie di maggior successo della Chiesa di Scientology. Ha lavorato a Pubs WW a Edimburgo, partecipato al trasferimento a Copenhagen di quella che sarebbe diventata la New Era Publications, concluso la carriera a Golden Era Productions oltre a collaborazioni con Bridge Publications e ASI (Author Services Inc.) Il suo è un racconto dettagliato della vita di staff e mostra la schizofrenia delle decine e decine di organizzazioni Scientology, la loro farraginosa burocrazia, il complicato organigramma. Parla dell'indifferenza verso il vero merito del lavoro svolto, della follia delle "statistiche", di come venga premiata l'obbedienza piuttosto che la creatività e il buon senso, spesso messo da parte per compiacere i capi di turno. E di come, in definitiva, a vincere sia sempre l'ottusità, in quello che dovrebbe invece essere il regno per eccellenza della razionalità (caratteristica dell'Essere "chiarito" con la "tecnologia" di Hubbard) e dell'intelligenza al suo massimo livello. Ciononostante quello di Hawkins è un racconto pacato e sereno che non scade mai nel vittimismo, ma nemmeno nell'apologia. Con Hawkins si ripercorrono quattro decenni fondamentali per la storia della Chiesa di Scientology: gli anni della costituzione della Sea Org come organizzazione veramente "del mare", imbarcata sulla piccola flotta privata del "Commodoro".

Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology.

    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

SOTER Ms. Nancy Dubuc January 2, 2017 Page 2 • On December 25, the Washington Post wrote: “In a statement released on Christmas Eve, an A&E spokesman said the network learned that the show’s producers - from a third-party production company - made cash payments to “facilitate access” to participants, which violates A&E policy... Though some reality TV producers do pay their subjects, the network emphasized that it is against this practice for documentaries.” (emphasis added) • On December 28, Variety wrote: “A&E declined to comment to Variety on whether participants in ‘Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath’ were paid - other than Remini, who is an executive producer on the docuseries. But, an insider close to the network tells Variety that even if participants were paid, financial payments would be common practice for participants in a television docuseries.” (emphasis added). Tellingly, A&E has declined to comment on whether anyone other than Ms. Remini is being paid. That silence speak volumes, raising questions if, like the KKK show, the sources in Ms. Remini’s series were paid. (Church officials have confirmed that Mike Rinder, the interview subject of the entire second segment and an interview subject in subsequent segments, was indeed paid.) Slauson Productions unambiguously described both Ms. Remini and Mr. Rinder as subjects for their series. In his letter of August 3, 2016, Alex Weresow declined to meet with Church representatives unless the meeting were to: “involve our key subjects, including but not limited to Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.” The same letter, describes Mike Rinder as a “victim, witness, or both.” Both are being paid for their participation.

    Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike Mcclaughry 1999

    Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike McClaughry 1999 The following is a Time Track that I put together for myself and some friends at the time, in 1999. I originally used the pseudonym “Theta” at the request of Greg Barnes until he was ready to “go public” with his defection from Scientology. I also used the pseudonym “Theta 8-8008” around this same time period. Bernd Luebeck, Ex-Guardian’s Office Intelligence and then Ron’s Org staff ran the website www.freezone.org. In 1999, just after my time track was released privately, Bernd used it on his website as-is. He later expanded on my original time track with items of interest to himself. Prior to my doing this time track, Bernd, (nor anyone else involved with Scientology on the internet), had ever thought of the idea to do things this way in relation to Scientology. Mike McClaughry BEGIN An open letter to all Scientologists: Greetings and by way of introduction, I am a Class 8, OT 8, who has been in the Church for many decades and I am in good standing with the Church. I am a lover of LRH’s technology and that is my motivation in writing you and in doing what I am now doing. It came to my attention, sometime in the not too distant past, that the current top management of the Church, particularly David Miscavige, is off source. One of the ways he is off-source is that he has made the same mistake as the old Guardian’s Office staff made, engaging in criminal activities to solve problems.
