Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg
Churilov" cultist was ejected from
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.
Subject: Does Hubbard mean what I think he means?
Anonymous asked this question on 5/5/2000:
"The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying
the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would
result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would
interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have
entered. It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in
order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is
only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0
down, either by processing them enough ... or simply quarantining
them from the society."
I think Adolf Hitler tried this already, didn't he? Does Hubbard
mean what I think he means?

Well I have not seen any realistic plans to do such a thing.
It is, though, a fact that within Scientology people who are angry,
afraid, said, apathic or sympathizing (!) do not have the same value
as a person like a person who is content or enthusiastic. Their
opinions have no value, their decisions are not rational, etc. (except,
of course, if they decide to further Scientology in any way
Scientologists want them to...) Actually it is said in theory and
practiced in life that such people do not have human dignity - their
value depends only on their doing what Scientologists want them to
do.
At least this is the case when someone has a higher status as the low
toned individual in question. If the angry guy is the one who has the
higher status, things do look differently - he is not low on the tone
scale, but his emotion is precisely fitting to the situation, while he
naturally ranges much higher.
There is a strong social agreement in Scientology that Scientologists
do not belong to that lower band of emotions - they do not want to be
one of those despised people, so they suppress such feelings (and
Scientologists do usually have a very good functioning mental censure
process running - they don't even realize that they are suppressing
their emotions).

I'll have to see how much of the over 23,000 documnents that were
seized in the 1970's have been made available through the Freedom of
Information Act. The only pieces of publically-available policy that talks
about these things are sinister enough, it looks like. That and the
paramilitary GO/OSA Department 20.
