Hubbard Dissemination Course: Deadly Quartet
Hubbard instructed Scientologists to use his dissemination “weapon” surreptitiously, in seemingly casual conversations with their contacts. Scientologists often engage their targets under pretext of doing public opinion surveys or with other covert guises.
By conversation it would have been necessary to get the person to admit that help (on anything) was possible. This done, it would be necessary to exert a little control of the conversation or the person. Following this, a willingness for the person to talk to you and confess a few worries or upsets or, better, overts [crimes], would have to be managed. Then interest1 would come about.
The best way of handling interest would be to get the person to procure and read Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and save yourself long explanations.
The technical facts of dissemination are these:
1. Establish Help
2. Establish Control
3. Establish Communication
4. Establish Interest

1 Interest: noun: interest does not mean happiness and joy. Interest is only absorbed attention and a desire to talk about it. verb: concerned, affected; having an interest, concern or share in something.” — Hubbard Dissemination Course p. 186.
At last we’ve created the basic weapon in Scientology dissemination and processing that makes us a lot more effective on Earth than a lot of drooling politicians scrubbing their hands around an atomic warhead. By golly, they better watch out now.
But don’t tell them. Just run (1) Help, (2) Control, (3) Communication and (4) Interest.
Now go tackle somebody who wouldn’t buy Scientology—use the Deadly Quartet. And win! (p. 190)
