TO BUILD A MILITIA ... (OH YEAH, I MEAN ...???
___________
FROM THE LATEST EDITION OF THE SCIENTOLOGY MEMBER MAGAZINE:
This new relationship between Scientology and The Nation of Islam is remarkable given LRH's intense racism and hatred of Black people. How can David Miscavige look Rev. Farrakahan in the eye knowing that Scientology's "sacred scriptures" are full of LRH's racism? David Miscavige has never ordered LRH's racist screeds purged so one must assume that these racist comments do not bother Mr. Miscavige. If they did disturb Mr. Miscavige then why are they still in Scientology scripture? Mr. Miscavige has held absolute ecclesiastical power over Scientology since 1982 and he could have easily had these LRH racist comments removed, and yet he has not chosen to do so these past 24 years. In fact, these comments are still being printed by Scientology in modern editions and in recorded lectures. This is altogether strange considering that Mr. Miscavige has had much of LRH's orignal work deleted, edited, changed, altered, or otherwise squirreled. Why didn't DM purge Hubbard's racist words? And how will DM explain this to the Rev. Farrakahn after I make the Rev. Farrakahn aware of this matter?

LRH said in a letter to his first wife Polly:
Quote:
You shouldn't be scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees. Get yourself a nigger; that's what they're born for.
I wonder if the Rev. Louis Farrakahn knows of LRH's racist commentaries? We read at the website Scientology and Racism:
Quote:
A basic component of the Church's services is auditing (counseling sessions). Through a progression of special auditing actions for specific purposes, called rundowns, Scientologists can advance their spiritual condition.
But Hubbard had a Big Auditing Problem with South African natives, who, along with other primitives and children, are in a "retrograded" state.
Quote:
The South African native is probably the one impossible person to train in the entire world—he is probably impossible by any human standard.
-L. Ron Hubbard, PAB No. 119, 1 September 1957, as published in Level 0 PABS (c.1968, The American St. Hill Organization)
Hubbard also found the "insanity rate per capita in South Africa is appalling" and issued a special set of instructions, The Scientific Treatment of the Insane, to South African auditors to address the problem. Note that Hubbard also thinks the Bantu are in need of "rehabilitation", with mental health being only one of the necessary efforts.
Quote:
…it is easily seen that a primary requisite in any program of the rehabilitation of the Bantu in South Africa would be mental health…
-L. Ron Hubbard, HCOB April 1960, "The Scientific Treatment of the Insane"
The South African Rundown, the only Scientology rundown offsite targeted at a specific ethnic group, was developed for "delivery to South Africans—those who reside in South Africa as well as those who have emigrated to other parts of the world". Hubbard apparently felt they required special processing because they were "untrainable" and "insane".
The Church's auditing tool, the E-meter, requires adjustment in order to accommodate the needle's larger movements because of the intensity of a Bantu's undisclosed transgressions ("withholds").
Quote:
A "black South African's" withholds read not only on the needle [of the E-meter] alone but on the Tone Arm [sensitivity adjustment] as well.
-L. Ron Hubbard, E-Meter Essentials, section I: "Meter Oddities", 1988 (pg. 24)
Perhaps the unusually strong withholds can be explained by the Bantu's mercenary nature:
Quote:
Because the one thing — the very, very commercial little culture the Bantu has … the idea of commerce and money and that sort of thing is very deeply ingrained in these people.
-L. Ron Hubbard, SHSBC, "Errors in Time", 18 July 1963
Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought is one of Scientology's basic public texts and has this to say about African "savages":
Quote:
Just as individuals can be seen, by observing nations, so we see the African tribesman, with his complete contempt for truth and his emphasis on brutality and savagery for others but not for himself, is a no-civilization.
-L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought, Bridge Publications: Los Angeles, 1997.
According to Hubbard, Zulus are crazy:
Quote:
…the Zulu is only outside the bars of a madhouse because there are no madhouses provided by his tribe. … primitives are far more aberrated than civilized peoples. Their savageness, their unprogressiveness, their incidence of illness …
-L. Ron Hubbard, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Bridge Publications, Los Angeles, 1995.
The Church runs security checks on members suspected of certain criminal behaviors. The Johannesburg Security Check was "the roughest security check in Scientology" and consisted of a series of pointed questions which Scientologists answered while on the E-meter (used in this case not as an auditing tool but as a lie detector). Included in the list of "crimes" is engaging in an intimate relationship with a member of a "colored" race. A selected portion of the questions:
Quote:
Have you ever slept with a member of a race of another color?
Have you ever committed culpable homicide?
Have you ever bombed anything?
Have you ever murdered anyone?
Have you ever kidnapped anyone?
-L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 7 April 1961, "Johannesburg Security Check"
There are hints that Scientology membership was limited to whites, at least initially, in their organizations in southern Africa. In the first quote below, Hubbard is concerned about the World Bank taking control of England and the general advance of Communism. He believes a stronghold of civilization can be set up in Africa to salvage white culture. In the second quote, Hubbard praises the South African organization, that, in spite of the limited white population from which to recruit, managed to outproduce all other Scientology organizations.
Quote:
Now if we can get white population, immigrants and big companies and so on moving into Africa and if we can get with that Scientology well established in Southern Africa, why we can then look forward to a salvage operation base, in case the northern hemisphere's lights go out.
-L. Ron Hubbard, recorded talk to the Saint Hill staff about Rhodesia, 6 May 1966
Quote:
As South Africa has a white population of only 2.8 million or thereabouts, you can see that every other central organization in the world has been out-created.
-L. Ron Hubbard, HCOB 17 July 1959, "Africa over the Top"
Hubbard sees indigenous people as happy, ignorant natives dancing in the jungle or trying to overthrow the colonial government. [We assume these are Africans since he mentions British involvement and he had a special interest in that part of the world, though the ethnic identity of these "natives" is not actually germane to his point.]
Quote:
Illiterate cultures do not survive and they are not very high. The natives of the tribe of the Bugga-Bugga-Booga-Boogas down in Lower Bugga-Wugga Booga-Woog are mostly no longer with us, or they are around waving red flags today and revolting against their central government.
And they didn't learn fast. Their literacy was not up to absorbing culture rapidly.
They've been very happily down amongst the bong-bong trees, you know, dancing up and down amongst the bong-bong trees, and the highest level of their interest and so forth was their own back yard.
-L. Ron Hubbard, The Study Tapes, "Study: Evaluation and Information", lecture given 11 August 1964
