I've already shown that the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was an overt racist . Witness his description of the Chinese as "Chinks  … who smell of all the baths they haven't taken" and of black Africans as "degraded" primitives who could nonetheless be usefully employed by "understanding masters " (i.e. white Scientologists). He was also very strongly in favour of "Anglo-Saxon thought" and against "Euro-Russian philosophies". But I was surprised, even so, to hear the following extraordinary racist rant on one of his taped lectures. Because his lectures were note-less, stream-of-consciousness affairs, they give an unrivalled insight into Hubbard's thought processes. The lecture in question is "The Control of Hysteria", given on 15th April 1957. Today it is distributed as tape #10 of the "Radiation and Your Survival" pack (price approximately $300). In the middle of a lecture about atomic radiation, Hubbard suddenly starts discussing the Middle East:

"The Scientology religion is based exclusively upon L. Ron Hubbard's research, writings and recorded lectures —
all of which constitute the Scriptures of the religion"

Do you know, there's only one group on Earth that can do anything about the Middle East — Scientologists … A Scientologist would have to group-process  the living daylights out of the Arabs [before] you'd get them finally able to accept some aid and assistance. How would you go about it? Well, you'd get some Arabs that could speak English and you'd educate the living daylights out of them until you could group-process them well …

Now we say there's, well, another place in the world — there's India. Wonderful place — except for its people. What's the matter with those people? Can you help those people? No. You can't even govern them any more. Anyone who goes in to govern India has great difficulty. Why? Because its people are beyond the point of no return by past technologies. Nothing man knew could have pulled up by the boot straps the Untouchable of India. Certainly not the Indian philosophies. They're all oriented in the direction of slavery and more slavery.
