invoice giving what transaction was being corrected as fully as
possible. In case of a refund from cash just received or a
correction of amounts just received or in case of a bad check
informed from the bank, write a minus invoice and clearly mark it
so and for how much and to whom and why. In adding the week's
income these show up easily. When separating out Invoices into

into the class of expenditure but when it is totaled they are
subtracted. (HCO PL 30 Jan 66 III) 2. every voided check is

marking on a paper divided into grid squares where readings

MUCKRAKER, one who searches for and exposes commercial or
political corruption.
MUD BOX BRIGADE, 1. persons appointed to it clean mud boxes, fuel
lines, water hues, bilges, etc. It is under the MAA and it reports
to whoever needs it. More candidates will be appointed regularly
and promptly every time I find a freeloader who is loafing on post
and drifting with the wind. (OODs 4 Jan 68) 2. this group is the
most downstat and one gets assigned to it by being a freeloader,

confusing particle fast Dow with quick auditing, auditors began to
use only one process for a grade. Protest of having the pc sent to

MULTIPLE OPINION, to express a multiple opinion (use of
"everybody") in vital reports, which could influence assistant
board or board decisions. (HCO PL 7 Mar 65 III)
MULTIPLE REPORT, two bad data systems are in current use on data.
The first is "reliable source." The other system in use is multiple
report. If a report is heard from several areas or people it is
"true." The Russian KGB has a Department D that forges documents
and plants them in several parts of the world. They are then
"true." Propaganda spokesmen located all over the world say the
same thing to the press on every major occasion. This becomes
"public opinion" in government circles and so is "true" because it
is published and comes from so many areas. Five informants could
all have heard the same lie. (HCO PL 17 May 70)
MULTIPLE VIEWPOINT SYSTEM, 1. something new was added to the
world with the multiple viewpoint system. What's this new system?
Well, you see everything from the branch office! You don't see it
from headquarters. You have to be as pan-determined as daylight to
even conceive of such a system. For it's a true OT system. Every
situation is viewed from the viewpoint of the branch office, or the
regiment on the firing line or the squadron in the sky. It takes a
pretty humble or pretty OT HO to say "We don't have a viewpoint. We
are not important as a viewpoint. The only viewpoint that's
important is that of the man on the firing line, the Squadron
Leader in the sky, the Colonel actuary engaged i battle." So that's
a multiple viewpoint system! The key is files. Every org in the
world has a file for each month in the data files. As the data
pours in from that org-telexes, staff reports, MO reports, finance
reports, surveys, personnel records, observations, any and all data
it goes bang at once into that org's file for the month. All in a
folder for that org for that month. And there's that org, not only
current, but for each month exactly for years back. As fast as
they've been filed they are worked. In other words read and
acknowledged. Queries are handled. (FBDL 192R) 2. the files are so
arranged (one org, one month of data) that one can obtain the
viewpoint of that org from that org as though one were in that org
looking out. AD former operations systems on this planet have a
single viewpoint system, that of headquarters. As soon as you grasp
this fact, that HO is no viewpoint except of headquarters and that
all data puts one's point of view right there in an org, you can
file that way. (OODs 1 May 72)
MUNICIPAL BOND, a bond issued by a state, county, city, town or

MUSICAL CHAIRS, 1. frequent changes of post, using areas of the
org as a personnel pool. (HCO PL 28 May 71 II) 2. constant transfer
of personnel. (BPL 9 Aug 71R II) 3. hectic transfers from working
posts. (HCO PL 19 Mar 71) 4. there is the fact that it takes a
while to train someone on a post and get the post in order. So
rapid transfers defeat any post training or competence. We call this
action musical chairs. That is a game in which people rapidly
change positions. (HCO PL 29 Aug 70 I) 5. excessive transfers. (HCO
PL 27 Oct 69) 6. musical chairs in life is the mechanism below ARC
breaks an Grade III! To unstabilize gives ARC breaks! Whole staff
can be put into a sad effect! This is the mechanism governments
use. It's the basic tool of the socialist. If he can just
unstabilize
342
everyone he can kill them with degrade. It's a basic tool of the
Insane to maintain their own stability by unstabilizing everyone
else. (OODs 20 Aug 71)
MUSICAL FUNCTIONS, now just as there can be musical chairs, so
there can be musical functions. And you can transfer functions from
person to person or you can transfer factions from department to
department until nobody can keep his place in the book. The org can
go just as mad changing all of the functions amongst the staff
members as they can changing staff members. (ESTO 12, 7203C06 SO
