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?

"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?

Scientologists typically have little patience or respect for non-scientologists. People who are non-scns are wogs, which is a slur. In addition, everything is scientology is measured in terms of tone or stats(statistics.)

If you are down-stat, you are out-ethics. Statistics are measured this way, they simply relate to the value of money that statistic is worth. You are assigned a specific statistic in scn, if you cannot achieve that statistic, you are down stat.

How does this relate to the above. Simply this, if you are unable to pull your weight, to achieve your statistic, you are off-loaded. That means you are throw out, put to pasture. This may be because you are too old, have become disabled, or simply too worn out from overwork and abuse to produce more.

Now, if your are down stat, you are also down tone on the tone scale. This is the 2.0 LRH was referring to. By their own admission, in their tech dictionary specifically, they refer to the numeric value by which a person can be classified. It comes down to this, can you turn out a valuable final product, that is in line with your assigned stat. If not, you are down tone. Thus, you are unnecesssary.

Yes, I think Hubbard was pretty clear. He said exactly what he thought. So ask yourself this, do you want a world run by scientology management and ethics practices?
