means, by any Scientologists, without any discipline of
the Scientologists. He may be tricked, sued to, lied to,
or destroyed.” In 1967 L. Ron Hubbard made that edict.
A year later this is what he did in another policy
letter. “The practice of declaring people ‘Fair Game’
will cease. ‘Fair Game’ will not appear on any ethics
order. It causes bad public relations.” Naturally.
This policy letter does not cancel any policy on the
treatment or handling of a suppressive person. What
Hubbard did was, he said, “Let’s not call it ‘Fair
Game’ .“ But the policy remained. Get them arrested,
silence the critic, file an injunction against them,
which they did in this case, you will hear about that.
Prosecute them if you can, and that will make them a
criminal, and will neutralize them as a critic. And we
don’t have to watch them walk up and down the street
anymore. Because they were a ‘Fair Game’ target and we
neutralized them.

We are not going to make a feature of this
trial anything about Scientology, with the exception of
this policy of the Office of Special Affairs. What the
members of that church do is no concern to Mr. Minton, or
anyone else in this courtroom. But it is the manner in
which they silence critics.
