FALSE DATA STRIPPING IN PR

(Taken from a despatch of 23 May 1982.)

False Data Stripping tech can be applied to PR. There are probably a thousand
ways to do it without actually repeating the false data.

Denials as any PR knows are no good. They just generate controversy.

PR has not developed tech for this—indeed false data tech is unknown outside
of Scientology.

But there could be ways to do it. Sensationalism is always bought by press. So
we get a possible example: ____ jailed for lying about Scientology! In a sobbing
interview she confessed all she said was lies. She longed for forgiveness for having told
falsehoods to court and press. Nostalgia overcame her when she recalled how well she
had been treated.

If one just built and repeated and hammered "Bad people told falsehoods to try
to hurt Scientology," one would have a sort of campaign. Positioning liars with
infamous historic figures—torturers, etc.—could be part of it.

An awful lot of false data has been thrown around.

With the legal wins now coming, I think it's time we began to False Data Strip
the public.
