I think it would be interesting to know how the bad times started. I have not a very good recall of it as it is a bit charged (understatement) but lets say it has been mid 83.
We had been called in to a mandatory staff meeting. We did not know why but followed that order. In front of us had been a CMO Int missionair and another women sayed to be the new CO CLO EU. As first action we had been told by CMO Int Mssnr that anybody who says something is declared SP on the spot. As a staff did not understand english too well she rose her arm and the CMO Int Mssnr instantly shoutet „out you are declared“. We could convince the lady that she did not want to backfire on her but that she did not understand her. Thus she had been undeclared instantly. Then we got the r-fac that our CO had been sent to RPF in Copenhagen and been replaced with a new one. The rest of the r-facs I do not remember. I think it anyway was not of any importance. The usual that we are in a state of emergency and blabla. The difference to a Sea Org is, that in a Class 4 org you listen but thats it. We are not dependend on Scn in any way. As we did not get good pay we had to work outside for making a living and anything they could do had been shouting. Did not affect our living too much.
This CO Int mssnr after that meeting did the first gangbang sec checks on staff and tought the EO and others how to deliver it. Then the gang bang sec checks started in munich. I call it Gestapo Sec Checks as it fits better. (I know from past life what the Gestapo could do. The only difference is body pain. But the rest is quite similar.)
Basically all the staff had been sec checked that way. I know only of me that did not get one. Never. I only got a Roll Back in Copenhagen in 84 but only with a single roll backer. As I had been Cl 5 I knew how to handle nuts people. Thus this had not much impact on me.
Then the usual way to sell auditing had been that the regges had a meeting with the C/S and he gave the regges info on PCs that have to go to ethics. Ethics found out by gestapo sec check, that the pc is disaffected and he has to buy at least one intensive of sec cheking. If he did not want that he had been declared or else put into heavier ethics trouble.
By the way: using pc data from session was the usual those days. If a pc had done a bad act and did say this in session then he had been blackmailed with that knowledge. Thus he had no chance to buy another intensive. I know only of one of that incidents in detail but I guess that this was common practice. And by the way, those that did that had a very miserable life after that and still have. That actions backfired on them just some month later.
Doing this procedure week by week munich org lost around 1500 from 2000 active publics. And staff went down from way over 200 fulltimers to less than 100. That was 1983.
My conclusions:
The ,you call it gang bang sec check, had been an invention from CMO Int. Ask Marc Yager as soon as he can speak again how and why this had been developed. By my opinion this kind of sec check restimulates some whole track incident. (not the nazi stuff but much earlier on the track) I could see big ridges floating around the office when such sec check had been given. Later I tried to audit that out but could not find the „basic basic“ of it. Guess it is some real (not implanted) GPM or part of it.
In case anybody has additional information on that I would like to get in comm. I think, no matter what happens the next months to corporate Scn we have to destimulate this area anyway. As this kind of procedure of how to handle staff and public as still the same as introduced in 83 I think nothing could be done so far to destimulate that incident that is behind the situation.
