FOREWARD There has been a marked increase in public awareness regarding the subject of Deprogramming in Great Britain. Recently FAIR (FamilY Action for Information and Rescue) organized a visit to this country by American Deprogrammer Carl E. Waranowski who gave details of US methods to FAIR members. There has also been some media coverage on the need to Deprogramme cult enembers. POWER (People's Organized Workgroup on Ersatz Religions) feels that the time is now opportune to set the wheels in motion for getting Deprogramming underway, To this end POWER has or- ganized this course as an introduction to Deprogramming and has prepared this manual based upon techniques as they are practiced in the USA. This manual is intended to serve as a very basic outline. Talks will be given to amplify the points made here as well as providing an opportunity for interesting personal anecdotes to be related to participants. DEPROGRAMMlNG Introduction Although well established in the USA the subject of Deprogramming is relatively new in Great Britain, Howeycr, with the growth of ersatz religions in this country, some method is needea to combat the pernicious influen4;c they increasingly exercise over the young and guiliblc, Depro- gr@mminj is such a weapon. Why is Dcprogramming neco@? In order to undersand wliy one mu$E rirst define Deprogram- ming. Dcprogrammirig is the skilled application of any technique necessary to bring about in a subj@t tile total rejection by him of those attitudes, beliefs, ideals and loyalties which are considered undesirable. In addition, their re@lacement by those qualities that are considered necessary. At this time subjects are usually young people and those seeking deprograrnming 3ctions are their parents c)r close relatives. This will, no doubt, change as the greater possibilities of Depro- gramming are recognised- So why is Deprogramming, or Deprog as it is known amongst prorcssionals, necesury? Times have changed and whert youth at orie time uzed to got involved in more or less hamless, ic boisterous, physical activities such as motor cycle gangs, hooliganism and street fighting etc. as a passing phase, these days the emphasis is on irivolvcment in beliefs and ideologies. This would be harmicss cnougli if the spectra of mind-con trol was not entered into it as is the can in ersatz religions. It is a well-established idea that Society has a duty to protect its citizens. Equally parents and relatives have a duty to protect their young ones, even from themselves and against their wishes it this is optimum. The flower of youth must be protected if it is to flourish and blossom into a maiurc and sane adultl-.ood. For this no price is too heavy. This theri is what makt!s De-prog necessaq arid it ii the evil tliat the Deprogrammliig Technician (Deprog Tech) works to root out. The Technique In the normal course of events the Deprog Tech will be approached by ilic parents, clo$6 relatives or friends of. tao 5mbiect who is involved in a cult. These become the Technicians clients but the relationship, while profewonal is also personal as the :lien is depend on tho Tcrhnician for their peace of mind. Ot@ring the initial contacts it will bc f43tind that t)iL, cll,!iiii art: in a con(used state re&arding the sleps that lhcy sould he taking. It is, Ilierefore, tiic d@ity of the Technician to pacify thcrn, rg- muris tii,;m and uide tlicrh into a rdalisation that a Deptaii can return tlicir loved one to th#fn.

Th@ principal of these is the dread the police have of becoming involved in domestic dispures, They usually make every effort to ivoid being dragged in. and, if forced to act, attempt to maintain the neutral role of simply reslorirg calm and preventing hostilicies, it is therefore wise, should this occur, for the Technician to remain in the background as much as possible, allowing police attention to be focused solely upon the domestic conf@ision con- fronting them. "nie possibility of police intervention should also act as an iri(:entive to the T,:chiiician to accom- 'plish a secure, rast arid successful Deprog since this will produce a graterul and iormalised subject only too alnxioos to see Etie clients and the Technician as me source of hi5 salvation. There are two types of involvement in ersatz religions, those in which the subject lives at home with Iiis family and attends activities of the cult and those which require toial participation by the kvbject inciliding absence from the family unit and severance of all ties. In both cases a con- vint;i@ng strategei-n is needed, but in the latter there are, obviously, greater obstacles to be over- come. Using a real or artificial funlily crisis (such as me sudden death or serious illness or somc- onc clo@ to ilic subject) the subject can be tricked into leaving tli@ cult's centre and forcibly taken by tife parents to the Depro& site. One very succ@Ful ruse has been used in the USA. [n this case the parents contacted the subject and, appologising for previous upsets, declared that they now und,:rstood the subject's viewpoint and proposed a reconciliation over dinner on neutral ground. The subject was met by the parents and after entering the parents car was overco= and driven off io ihe Technician. Needless to say a satisfactory Deprogramming was achieveil, with the subject eventually expressing much gratitude. The Technician must always have at least one Deprogrammiiig Assistant for the sessions to follow. The Assi shOLild be of a sizeable stature and very fir. Recruitment should be conducted carefully so as to exclude the criminal element. Ideally a Technician or Asst will have a background as a former policeman, prison warder, male nurse (rnenral) or a cule membvr.

There are several metlieds for ensuring illat the subjOCL stays awake. Sonic of thses are physics) discipline, @bbing subject down with ice-cubes, packing ice-cubes under subject's armpits and on the nape of the neck, milking tlic. subject stand upright without iupport so that when he falls asleep he drops to the ground waking himself up again or Ehrowing the subject into the air and letting him fall to the ground. The main objective is to ensure that the 5ubject gets no steep and it is le(t to the Technician and his Asst/s to achieve this, Shame-inducement Through Nudity At some stage in the Dep.-og this technique may be used. The subject is stripped with the assis- tance of the Asst/s. Most subjects art;very body conscious and having to stand naked in front of their opponents causes a person to become a temporary introvert. The Asst/s must also take advantage of Ehis weaknm to bring home forcefully-to the subject even the smalliest flaw in his physical make-up. It should be noted-that the subject must be accompanied when making any visit to the toilet. APart From this, by the way, no other hygiene is allowed, Physical Correction This is a very sensitive area heavily mociated, in the public's mind,.witli punishment. 6reat difficulty can be predicted for any attempt to point otit the wide gap between the two for the benefit or p@rents or authorities. The usual outcome of such attempts will be greater misuiidcr- standing and emotional upset together with a lessening of respect for the Technician and the subject of Deprogrammirig itself. For these reasons w@ advocate a rirrn policy of no public discussion. If a s@tement has to 1)(r mitde wQ advise that the response should be an emphatic denial that physical rnelliods of this niiturt! are t:ver employed or, indeed, that they have ev;;n been contemplated.

Money: Showing the subject how the money going inio the @.roup passes mainly to the Icademhip, with very little reaching the lower levels. Fqmily: Pointing out how the'gubject was causing anguish to relatives and destroying the family group, God: Rerering to the Ica@s of the cult as gods and making it appear that the subject was acrely their dupe. Great emphasis sould be placed on degrading tlie leadem FreV Will: Arguing that the subjert and his follows are being totally controlled by the group, that they have no free will at all and that cliey are mindl@ robots. Willpowtr@ Emphasising that the Techniciazi his tram@ndous strength of will and stamina and has always triumphed in every Deprog he lias engaged in. No matter how hard the subject tries he will be unable to keep intact his own beliefs. On ocrasion it will bc found that the subject seeks to withstand persuasion by reciting or charit- ing Ilymns, crecds, mantras or prayers c(c. A useful rtictliod of @uring this tendency, as discover- ed hy Ted Patrick himself is to rill the subject@'s mouth with ice cubes ensutin-. Chat the subject cannot spit them out. In another case, Ted retrick used photos of cult leaders in place or toilet paper in front of the subject, l@ing to an immediate and total breakdown of the subject. These two examples are Siven to i]IUStTatc that the Technician neeas to be imaginative, resourceful and flcxible in his attitude. Destruction of Holy Works, A v@ry eff@tivcts and necessary st@p in overcoming a subje,;t's resistance by means of shock is the destrui;tion ol' tlie cult's holy works by Tire. This requires chat cue b,)ok's and other liroratiire are a,:tually burned in full view of the subject. The cfrect is to break down routine thought-patterns.

Needless to say, the Technician and Iiis Asst/s need to operate a shift system so that at least ont! of them is constantly with the subiv,ct in ordur to prevent escape or suicide etc. It is csseiiiial that llliase Oiic is completed berorc Pliase Two is commenced. The Tcclinician can easily recogniw tlie completion of Phase One by: 1) 'file docility of the subject. 2) The bialnknm [n the subject's eyes. 3) The guilioral lirsionneu of tlie stibiect, 4) Ablect fear. 5) The tatii renunciation of t)i4! clilt rornl,!rly iidlierod to by the sul)ject and vilincqtioil of its lcildets and s4!nior members, in@lud!Mg sigiitd statements rorlowncing tho beii,;i's. 0 A growing reall$4tion by tho stibje .ct t]Aac lia nag finally triumplied over iiis rorrnat irrationality. 6 - The above: Ilouid not tic rk:iied upon as iiiiii @)r,)ol oi tlie rejo@tlon of tlie cult, A can be made in order to rillly establish ilic :xa@t position.

This can be increased as the Technitiari gains experience and establishes )iis repl'tation. The war against the cults can not be confined to a few large centers of populaiioti. it musc bc conducted nation-wide. Deprog unics must be established Ehroughout tJ)e coun@. ()ne of tl)e keys to Ted Patrick's success was his pionecring wor@ in building up such a network in the USA. Aficr four years and I 000 c@es he had, by 1975, built up a network or over 300 biglily trained Technicians, having started in 1971 on his own. It is strongly r,:commended that the Technician collects his full fee berore embarking upon any aspect of the Deprog. This safeguard is necessary because frequently clients will initially promise to pay almost any sum, bi4t after a successful completion will iry Lo haggle Ind claim tkat it was not as difficult or as lengthy as originally anticipated. Lega@a.spects hive been touched upon earlier, but it must bt! r"mphasised that tlie actual "kidn ap" has to be doric I)y the client in order to keep the Technician clear of legal entanglements, The clients should also be used as far as possible as 'security guards' (although not actually prc5ent during the scssons) to guard tlie subject, and therefore be tvie persons responsible for his/her imprisonment. It should be noted that the police tend to view cults and ersatz religions as potential threats to the State, cl)allenging, as they usually do, the status quo For this reason iliey will be biased in favour of tlie Teclinician and Iiis clients. In addition, being adults aild usually parents, they will nat;jrally. rend to identify and sympath@ witl; the client rather than the subject. Ted Patrick has, unfortunatly, had to wage fiom the beginn@, an unceasing battle in tlie US qokirtA a@iist tlie unenlightened aut)iorities WI)o continually attempt to prosecute and pcmecuti him. However, being a professional, Ted has managed to emerge relatively unscathed through &Ii this by an ijitelligent application of the legal guidelines set out above.
