From the Usenet archives:
The RPF: $cientology's Slave Labor Camp
In 1974, the blatant breaking of another person's will - "break 'em down,
build 'em back up" - was implemented by Hubbard as an official "Church"
institution: The Rehabilitation Project Force.
It was created nor implemented by him. And you talk about facts?
Please get your facts right FIRST!
RR

You are claiming that what I have read from several sources is wrong?
Yes, quite so. i.e. according to your conclusion.
What,
then, ARE the facts?
The RPF was established during Flubbard's tenure as Holy Overlord of
$cientology. He was in complete control.
Nonsense, you have no evidence forthat.
If he did not, WHO created the RPF,
Ken Urquhart
and WHY did Flubbard allow it to
continue in operation?
Indeed, that may have been the real name of that person. May be you
are on to something.
INVESTIGATE before you SPOUT! VERIFY the CORRECTNESS of your sources.
Wouldn't it be nice you do the same where psychiatry is concerned....
On topic: You seem to have no other answer than suggesting is was
someone else,
In fact there are detailed studies about this, but these are a total
waste on you.
I know that! I found some on the internet, you know: The source you
advised people to have a look 'cause "there is sufficient information
on the internet".
maybe even this mysterious doppelganger of Hubbard that
established the RPF.
Where is your verification of the correctness of this claim?
Ken Urquhart established it, and this is very much confirmed by
verified fact.
Question remains: Did Urquhart established the RPF with or without
Hubbard's approval.
Like in most organizations, there is this thing called "to delegate",
which in essence means that some other Pictures of People">person than the person in
charge does the job, authorized by this person in charge.
And don't come with "but Hubbard resigned in 1969", because in reality
he was still very much in charge seeing how many HCO PL's were issued
after 1969.
And of course this claim that Urquhart established the RPF is very
convenient. After all he left the cult some years later and became a
critic.
In fact you are suggesting here that poor old Hubbard is completely
innocent where it concerns the RPF, and that bad guy Urquhart did it
all by himself.
And you want to be taken seriously?

The RPF is essentially a punitive slave-labor prison for $cientology staff
considered to be unproductive, disobedient, or security risks. Inmates eat
leftover food scraps, without utensils, after non-RPF staff finish eating,
and are not allowed to speak to them unless first spoken to. They are then
only to answer briefly, always addressing their betters as "sir." RPFers
are
dressed in uniform overalls and have to run wherever they go. Their
quarters
are the worst - often filthy and roach-infested. The RPF continues to this
day as one of several parts of the "Church" of $cientology hidden from
"public PCs" and "wogs" (outsiders).
According to $cientology dogma, confining someone in the RPF is a
benevolent
act. RPFers are considered insane, loaded with "evil purposes" causing
them
to commit "overts" (harmful acts), and therefore they have many
"withholds"
(undisclosed overts). The RPF is their last chance at redemption.
Some that have left $cientology after being RPFed tell of having to
fabricate overts, writing them up to appease the Ethics Officer, to prove
they were being rehabiliated. A common reason for being RPFed is the
decision to leave the cult. According to Hubbard: "People leave because of
their own overts and withholds. The only reason anyone has ever left
Scientology is because people failed to find out about them." By this
reasoning, the Jews fled Nazi Germany because of their hidden offenses
against Hitler.
The degree of degradation experienced in the RPF is difficult to
comprehend.
Hubbard, Greek Gods">GOD to a believing $cientologist, in effect is telling you that
you
are subhuman, evil, degraded. Long periods of confinement at hard labor,
with poor nutrition, little sleep, and no toilet facilities are common
practice. According to former Hubbard aide Gerald Armstrong: "There is no
way to really describe the RPF experience, the hopelessness, the
humiliation, the horror. It seemed to go on forever, the days all
identical,
no time to oneself, the same blue boiler suits like prison garb, day after
day, the same questions in the same endless security checks [gruelling
interrogation sessions on a lie-detecting e-meter]. Hubbard's purpose in
creating the RPF, running it as a prison with assignees considered
criminals, was the breaking of peoples' wills, the total subjugation of
anyone he considered exhibited 'counter intention' to his goals. He
achieved
his purpose with me so well that I thanked him for the opportunity of
doing
the RPF, much like prisoners of war, who are broken emotionally and
spiritually through deprivation and mind control techniques, thank their
captors."
The best coverage of the cult's internal prison system can be found in
"Brainwashing in Scientology's Rehabilitation Project Force. (RPF)" by Dr.

Kent -://www.skeptictank.org/...
From THE CODE OF A SCIENTOLOGIST by L. Ron Hubbard:
[This hypocritical "code" helps motivate $cientology's criticism of
psychiatry. It is an excellent illustration of criminals diverting
attention
from themselves with idealistic poop and by exposing the crimes of
others. We are supposed to think this crusading "church" is above the very
conduct it condemns in others.]
4) "To decry and do all I can to abolish any and all abuses against life
and mankind."
5) "To expose and help abolish any and all physically damaging practices
in
the field of mental health."
7) "To bring about an atmosphere of safety and security in the field of
mental health by eradicating its abuses and brutality."
20) "To make this world a saner better place."
And $cientology's brutal, abusive RPF serves these purposes??
