Blown for Good - Marc Morgan Headley [172]
Flag – Originally this was used to describe the ship that LRH used within the fleet of Sea Org vessels that were operating in the 1970’s, when the Sea Organization was first established. Later on when the Sea Org moved to land, Flag was relocated to Daytona Beach and then later to Clearwater, Florida, where it remains today.
Flag Orders – These are the Sea Org policy written by LRH or the International Officer’s Board. They cover everything from how to wear and clean a Sea Org uniform to how to remove Suppressive Persons from Scientology Organizations.
FLB – Flag Land Base. This refers to the plethora of properties owned by Scientology in Clearwater Florida.
FPRD – False Purpose RunDown. This is a counseling procedure that takes place in Scientology where a person’s crimes are thought to be from evil or false purposes that were implanted by psychiatrists many lifetimes ago. At the Int Base, any staff member that questions Dave Miscavige or vocally speaks out against him is said to have Black PR, Overts and Evil Purposes on Dave and FPRD style auditing is a regular handling used for this.
Freewinds – The Sea Org cruise ship that is used to deliver the highest level of Scientology auditing currently released (OT VIII). The Freewinds holds approximately 360 passengers and crew. The Freewinds regularly frequents the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles.
Garage – At the Int Base, the garage used to be a public gas station that was converted into the maintenance facility for the entire property. Motor Pool Gold is located here as well as the entire Estates Division - which includes Grounds, Electrical, Construction, Engineering & Building Maintenance Departments. Cine’s Set & Props Departments took up the west half of the building, until the Cine Castle was built in the late 90s. It also houses the International Landlord Office.
GAT – Golden Age of Tech. This is generally referred to as the new training technology that was developed and instituted in all organizations by COB RTC, Dave Miscavige in 1996. GAT requires that all students learn Scientology materials verbatim and pass a series of quizzes and does an extensive amount of pre-scripted drills for each training level that they train on. As of this writing, Scientology training statistics internationally have been continually down trending since the release of the Golden Age of Tech.
G.O. – The Guardians Office. Established in 1966, this organization was the legal and public relations arm of Scientology. After several of its staff were convicted and sent to prison for carrying out what is said to have been the largest infiltration of the United State Government, the GO was renamed the Office of Special Affairs (OSA) and largely carries out the same functions today that the old GO did. Even some of the former GO staff are still employed by the new OSA.
Golden Era Productions – Also called Gold, this is the Audio Visual headquarters for Scientology located at the Int Base in Gilman Hot Springs, California. All of the sales and training films, videos and audio lectures for Scientology internationally are produced here.
Gold Musicians – The group of musicians that produce all of the music for the soundtracks for Scientology films, videos and materials. This same musical group often performs live at Scientology conventions held throughout each year.
Golf Course – This was the public golf course that was located to the east of the main Golden Era property. It was closed to business in 2008.
Graduation – In some Scientology organizations, each week anyone who completed a training or counseling step in Scientology is announced and is expected to give a speech promoting the level to others at a local group gathering called Graduation.
