Membership
There exist various categories of memberships within Scientology. Each category defines itself through the amount of money which was paid to the "International Association of Scientologists" (IAS), or the number of people who were signed up for the IAS.
These are the different categories:
a) 6 month begiining membership - free
b) Annual membership - 300 US $
c) Lifetime membership - 2,000 US $
d) Sponsor - 5,000 US $
e) Crusader (New!) - 10,000 US $
f) Honor Roll - 20,000 US $ or 20 new members for the IAS recruited
g) Patron - 40,000 US $
h) Patron with Honors - 100,000 US $
i) Patron Meritorious - 250,000 US $
j) Gold Patron Meritorious - 1,000,000 US $
k) Senior Honor Roll - 100 new members for the IAS recruited or "contributed to IAS expansion in some stellar fashion".
Here are my IAS-income figures of the last 12 years (The IAS was actually founded in fall 1984). "Lifetime"- and "Annual membership"-income are not included, as I don't have a real way to find that out.
Of course I didn't get these figures from the IASA (IAS Administrations) itself, so therefore the actual income may be different, but I estimate that it is probably 10 % more or less compared to my figures.
OK, here is the result of a 4 years research (I hope it wasn't wasted time at all!):

The documents starts off by explaining that this "Defence Paper" was written after 18 years of "unprovoked attacks" on Scientology. Somehow they also felt it was needed to add a line to inform the reader that "Nothing in this paper advocates physical violence to any person". I take it that other documents do advocate physical violence. But something in this document must be frightening to them if it came out,
Hubbard was schizophrenic, in the fifties and sixties he was sure CIA, the communists, psychiatric and medical assosiation had hitmen out to get him. Even the FBI, who Hubbard frequently sent letters to, ignored him because of "his possible mental instability and rambling and incoherent nature of his letters." (quoted from FBI records recently released according to the Freedom of Information Act).
In the famous RJ67 tape (September 1967) Hubbard says to his followers:
"Our enemies on this planet are less than twelve men. They are members of the Bank of England and other higher financial circles. They own and control newspaper chains, and they are, oddly enough, in all the mental health groups which have sprung up in the world. These chaps are very interesting fellows. They have fantastically corrupt backgrounds; illegitimate children; government graft; a very unsavory lot. And they apparently, sometime in the rather distant past, had determined on a course of action. Being in control of most of the gold supplies of the planet, they entered upon a program of bringing every government to bankruptcy and under their thumb, so that no government would be able to act politically without their permission."
The "church" is still very eager to prove there is a conspiracy somewhere against them. Hubbard thought the enemies were aliens from outer space disguised as psychiatrists and the like. No wonder the "Church" of Scientology don't want us to show you all the documents!
Hubbard loved making simplified analyses on why "enemies" acted like they did. Since his analyses usually were simply wrong, his methods to "handle" them often end up in Scientologists making major foot bullets. Their policy for handling enemies is called Dead Agenting and is worth a closer look.
This is how Scientology intelligence works; never defend, always attack! Yes, this "church" has its very own intelligence agency! In case of bad media coverage ("black propaganda"), Scientologists should contact the press and others pretending they are someone else to leave the impression that others than Scientology are also concerned about the attacks on Scientology. But they carefully change it to "attacks on human rights" and "in favor of psychiatric butchery" etc. In other words: Scientologists are trained, and even ordered, to lie to the you and the media!
(PRO means the Public Relations Officer in Scientology)
Scientology is scared stiff that criticism about them will spread. If it does they will lose more money. The "Church" of Scientology has threatened, harassed, and even framed critics to get them arrested for bomb threats, all in an attempt to silence them. Church members have also broken in to government offices to remove negative information about CoS, Hubbards wife went to prison when Operation Snow White was revealed. Hubbard himself went into hiding. And this "church" will also sue frivolously:
"The purpose of [a lawsuit] is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly."
