The policy stated that “A Suppressive Person or Group becomes fair game. By FAIR GAME is meant, may not be further protected by the codes and disciplines or the rights of a Scientologist.”
Later that same year L. Ron Hubbard amended the policy by adding that
“The homes, property, places and abodes of persons who have been active in attempting to: suppress Scientology or Scientologists are all beyond any protection of Scientology Ethics, unless absolved by later Ethics or an amnesty ... this Policy Letter extends to suppressive non-Scientology wives and husbands and parents, or other family members or hostile groups or even close friends.”
In 1967 Hubbard further amended this policy where he defined the "penalties" for an individual deemed to be in a "Condition of Enemy":
“ENEMY — SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”
Ask an active Scientologist about “Fair Game Policy” today and they will quickly tell you that this policy was cancelled by Hubbard himself in fact cancelled any such order and that it is no longer in practice today.
Is this true? Well, to answer that question we need only look at more of Hubbard’s writings dating back to October of 1968 when Hubbard amended the policy again
"The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations. This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP."
The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is exemplified in the very last sentence of the above quote; “This P/L (Policy Letter) does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP (Suppressive Person).”
Ever since these policies were written critics of the Church of Scientology have been using Hubbard’s own words as ammunition against the Church.
But this policy of “Fair Game” was written in the late 1960’s and certainly couldn’t be a church policy in the year 2008? Or could it?
In May of 2008, the internet group known as “Anonymous” held their fifth global protest against the Church of Scientology and they named this protest “Operation Fair Game: Stop”…
