decisions whether they are going to go out there, or
whether they are going to show outrage. Everything is
handled in that area by the Office of Special Affairs.
They have overriding control of the situation. So they
determine everything that goes on. Any interaction that
there may be between the potential attacker and the
organization. No one acts independently on their own.
Everything goes through OSA. If someone were to show up
to picket one of the organizations and there might be
members outside OSA immediately comes on the scene and
takes control. Members are told to go inside. OSA
handles the operation from that point on. There is no
individual action by anyone.

Q Okay, how can OSA ensure that what goes on
outside is consistent with what they want to go on?

A They have a policy where they never defend and
they always attack. If someone comes at the organization
they will attack. They don’t defend, they don’t go out
there and try to talk to someone or talk them out of
doing what they are doing. They are on the attack,
because the only way to defend, according to the Doctrine
of Scientology, is to attack.

Q How can members high up in OSA ensure that it
is going to be carried out in manner they want it to, do
they actually practice these exercises?
