3. Goals
In his book "Dianetics", the founder of the Scientology Organization,
L(afayette) Ron(ald) Hubbard, already gave an indication of
the basically political thrust of his ideas 195) . Thus, his theoretical
approaches and techniques for removing grief and pain - which
he called "dianetics" - are intended to enrich "different fields ... of
sociology, politics, the military".
He claimed that dianetics covered many fields of knowledge,
such as "political dianetics which comprises the field of group
activities and organization with the aim of identifying the optimum
conditions and procedures for the management of groups and
their mutual relations" 196) .
The Scientology Organization unrestrictedly publishes Hubbard’s
publications and instructions which to SO and to the individual
Scientologist are authoritative and irrevocable 197) . They contain
actual indications of political aims and endeavours directed
against the free democratic fundamental order 198) .
Also SO’s currently leading functionary, David MISCAVIGE, "chairman
of the Board" 199) of the subsidiary organization "Religious
Technology Center" (RTC) 200) , made the Organization’s political
character clear when he, with reference to Hubbard, addressed a
meeting of the "International Association of Scientologists" (IAS)
in June, with the following words:
"We have achieved our technology objectives. Now we only
will have to attain our ... social aims. This is hard work, but it
is predictable."
("HCO-Informationsbrief" of 21 August 1963, Ron’s Journal
no. 6) 201)
As stated in Hubbard’s publications which also in 1999 continued
to be offered for sale by SO "churches" 202) , the aim is to create a
"civilization" in which the fundamental rights will no longer be
granted to all inhabitants, but may be rightfully enjoyed only by
"non-aberrant" persons as defined by SO doctrine 203) , i.e. persons
who, after selection under the auditing procedure 204) , are
considered "honest":
"A person’s right to survival is directly linked to his honesty....
Freedom is for honest people. Personal freedom is available
to those who are capable of being free."
(Hubbard, Introduction to the Ethics of Scientology, Copenhagen
1998, p. 46)
Statements to this effect can also be found in the journal "IM-
PACT" 205) and in an IAS advertisement brochure 206) . These are
in line with earlier SO statements according to which "in the distant
future, only non-aberrant persons are to be granted civil
rights 207) and only they will be allowed "to marry and have chil-
