L. Ron Hubbard/Scientology vs. Universal Declaration of Human Rights
On December 10th, 2007, Sabine Weber, spokesperson for the Church of Scientology in Germany, declared "Who dares to say we are against human rights? This is completely insane" ("Minister says Scientologists seek power in Germany", Reuters). Well, I dare to say: many Scientology doctrines go counter to basic human rights.

Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and
freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction
of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion,
political or other opinion, national or social origin,
property, birth or other status. |
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 23 December 1965, "Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists":
A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any
kind as Scientologists and actions taken against them are
not punishable under Scientology Ethics Codes.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 5 April 1965, "HANDLING THE SUPPRESSIVE PERSON" (page 883 green volume 1, 1991 edition): Suppressive
acts are clearly those covert or overt acts knowingly
calculated to reduce or destroy the influence or activities
of Scientology or prevent
case gains or
continued Scientology success and activity on the part of a
Scientologist. As persons or groups that would do such a
thing act out of self-interest only to the detriment of
others, they cannot be granted the rights ordinarily
accorded rational beings.
L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL, p. 170:
There are only two answers for the handling of people from
2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of which has
anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to
their justification of their acts. The first is to raise
them on the Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their
theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is
to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow.

Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone
has the right to life, liberty and security of person. |
L. Ron Hubbard, "PENALTIES FOR LOWER CONDITIONS", HCO Policy Letter of 18 October 1967: [Suppressive
Person] Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or
injured by any means by any Scientologist without any
discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or
lied to or destroyed.
L. Ron Hubbard, "Dept of Govt Affairs", HCO Policy Letter of 15 August 1960: If attacked on some
vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization,
always find or manufacture enough threat against them to
cause them to sue for peace.
L. Ron Hubbard, "Code of Honor", The Creation of Human Ability, p. 5: Never fear to hurt another in a just cause. [...] |

Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: No one
shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave
trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. |
L. Ron Hubbard, "Brainwashing Manual", p. 34: By lowering the
endurance of a person, a group, or nation, and by constant
degradation and defamation, it is possible to induce, thus,
a state of shock which will receive adequately any command
given.
L. Ron Hubbard,
"Admissions":Men are your slaves.

Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: No one
shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or
degrading treatment or punishment. |
L. Ron Hubbard, "Brainwashing Manual", p. 34: By lowering the

degradation and defamation, it is possible to induce, thus,
a state of shock which will receive adequately any command
given.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 18 October 1967, "PENALTIES FOR LOWER CONDITIONS": SP
Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by

Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: All are
equal before the law and are entitled without any
discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are
entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in
violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to
such discrimination. |
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 1 September 1965, "Ethics Protection": In an ancient army a
particularly brave deed was recognized by an award of the
title of Kha-Khan. It was not a rank. The person remained
what he was, BUT he was entitled to be forgiven the
death penalty ten times in case in the future he did
anything wrong. That was a Kha-Khan. That's what
producing, high-statistic
staff members are—Kha-Khans. They can get away with
murder without a blink from
ethics.
In short a staff member can get away with
murder so long as his statistic is up and can't sneeze
without a chop if it's down.

Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: No one
shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile. |

entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an
independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of
his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge
against him. |
L. Ron Hubbard, HCO Policy Letter of 4 January 1966, "LRH Relationship to Orgs": [ref]
Somebody some day will say 'this is illegal.' By then be
sure the orgs [Scientology organizations] say what is legal
or not.
L. Ron Hubbard, from a lecture entitled "Future Org Trends" given January 9th, 1962:
Once the world is Clear - a nation, a state, a city or a
village - the Scientology organization in the area becomes
its government! And once this has taken place the only
policy accepted as valid is Scientology policy.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCO Policy Letter of 15 August 1960, "DEPT OF GOVT AFFAIRS": The goal of
the Department is to bring the government and hostile
philosophies or societies into a state of complete
compliance with the goals of Scientology. This is done by
high level ability to control and in its absence by low
level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control
such agencies. Scientology is the only game on Earth where
everybody wins.

Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: No one
shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his
privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon
his honour and reputation. |
L. Ron Hubbard, "Handling Hostile Contacts/Dead Agenting":
If there will be a long-term threat, you are to immediately
evaluate and originate a black PR campaign to destroy the
person's repute and to discredit them so thoroughly that
they will be ostracized.
L. Ron Hubbard, 25 February 1966, "ATTACKS ON SCIENTOLOGY":
This is correct procedure: (1) Spot who is attacking us. (2)
Start Investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse
using our own professionals, not outside agencies. (3)
Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation
of them. (4) Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual
evidence on the attackers to the press.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 23 December 1965, "SUPPRESSIVE ACTS":
Any
PTS who fails to either handle or disconnect from the
SP who is making him
or her a PTS is, by failing to do so, guilty of a
Suppressive
Act.

For this person may only be audited further if he or she
disconnects or handles the Suppressive Person or group to
which he or she is connected and can't be sent to the HGC or
back to the course either until the status is cleared up.

Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: No one
shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property. |
L. Ron Hubbard, "PENALTIES FOR LOWER CONDITIONS", HCO Policy Letter of 18 October 1967: [Suppressive
Person] Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or
injured by any means by any Scientologist without any
discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or
lied to or destroyed. L. Ron Hubbard,
"The Scientologist - A Manual on the Dissemination of Material",
1955; also
"The Technical Bulletins of Dianetics and Scientology", 1976:
The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather
than to win. [...] If possible, of course, ruin him utterly. |
|||
Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to freedom of

practice, worship and observance. |

the duration of the universe—never permit an "open-minded"
approach. [...]
L. Ron Hubbard, "Code of Honor", The Creation of Human Ability, p. 5:
Never withdraw allegiance once granted.
Never desert a group to which you owe your support. [...] Even today, the [Church of Scientology] still considers Covarrubias a
member, because his billion-year contract is irrevocable. [...] |
|||
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone
has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this
right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference
and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas
through any media and regardless of frontiers. |
L. Ron Hubbard, as quoted in "Shudder into silence: The Church of Scientology doesn't take kindly to negative coverage" (The Quill, 1991):
We do not want Scientology to be reported in the press,
anywhere else than on the religious pages of newspapers ...
Therefore, we should be alert to sue for slander at the
slightest chance so as to discourage the public presses from
mentioning Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard, "The Scientologist - A Manual on the Dissemination of Material", 1955; also "The Technical Bulletins of Dianetics and Scientology", 1976:
The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather
than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and
enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge
anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will
generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease.
If possible, of course, ruin him utterly.
L. Ron Hubbard, "Dept of Govt Affairs", 15 August 1960: If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization,
always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for
peace. |

People who attack Scientology are criminals.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOB of 5 November 1967, "CRITICS OF SCIENTOLOGY":
Never discuss Scientology with the critic. Just discuss his
or her crimes, known and unknown. And act completely
confident that those crimes exist. Because they do.
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 23 December 1965, "Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists":
A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any
kind as Scientologists and actions taken against them are
not punishable under Scientology Ethics Codes.
L. Ron Hubbard, 22 February 1966, "Project Psychiatry":
We want at least one bad mark on every psychiatrist in
England, a murder, an assault, or a rape or more than one.
This is Project Psychiatry. We will remove them.
"A woman is safer in a park at midnight than on a
psychiatrist's couch," booms
Miscavige, backed
by savage graphics of psychiatrists — or "psychs" as he
calls them - being machine-gunned out of existence. |
