Ethiopia:
This was not the first time Hubbard had expressed his active support
for Verwoerd and the policies of "grand apartheid". He was willing to
offer practical assistance as well as letters of support. Three weeks
previously, he had written the following to Verwoerd:
"Those who understand are never swayed by vicious writings in the
English press.
To cope with those who could be swayed we work ceaselessly to secure
communication lines to create an image closer to the fact.
We are doing everything we can to change the complexion of the
English language press and in a very few months we hope to have the
means of completely altering this public image.
Peace with strength can yet save, with your undaunted leadership,
South Africa.
Meanwhile we sincerely hope that vileness such as that in last
week's Sunday Times does nothing to dismay your dedication.
I apologise that we were not yet able to prevent such a travesty,
but can promise a better future in such things."
[dated 17th October 1960, Jo'burg; reprinted in K.T.C. Kotze,
Inquiry into the Effects and Practices of Scientology, pp. 59-60,
Pretoria 1973]
In other words, Scientology would endeavour to muzzle the press so
that it could no longer criticise Verwoerd or his policies. This was
not an idle promise, as the Church has a long history of attacking and
infiltrating newspapers which it sees as a threat.
Hubbard was not the only Scientologist to write to the South African
Government. When it was announced in 1960 that Liberia and Ethiopia
were to take legal action against South Africa to bring the Government
to book for its implementation of apartheid, a Mr. S.J. Parkhouse (the
HASI's Director of Official Affairs) wrote the following secret letter
to Dr. Verwoerd:
"On bringing to Dr. [sic] Hubbard's attention the fact that Liberia
and Ethiopia intend to insitute an action against the Union [of
South Africa] in the World Court Dr. Hubbard suggested that the
Union itself would be well within its rights in bringing suit
against any and all countries seeking to promote internal trouble in
the Union through the use of boycotts etcetera.
Consequent to our discussion Dr. Hubbard prepared a form of suit
which could be used by the Union in the World Court. I enclose a
copy for your perusal.
Apart from the blow that this would strike for the Union on the
International front it would appear that such an action would
establish the World Court as a place where civil matters between
Nations could be settled without warfare and thus would be of
service to humanity as a whole.
In closing I would assure you of our continued willing assistance at
all times."
[dated 7th November 1960, Jo'burg; reprinted in K.T.C. Kotze,
Inquiry into the Effects and Practices of Scientology, p. 60,
Pretoria 1973]
This makes it clear that the Church of Scientology was willing, and
attempting, to take an active role in the South African Government's
struggle against the growing anti-apartheid movement. Of course, the
Church was not the only foreign organisation to oppose boycotts and
sanctions against South Africa - in the 1980s the British government
was prominent in its refusal to sanction South Africa. However, the
basis for that stance was that boycotts and sanctions would hurt the
black population far more than it would help. As the above letter
makes clear, the Church was opposed to boycotts and sanctions because
it supported the policy of the South African government. The letter
shows that the Church sought to actively defend apartheid.
The support for the South African Government expressed in the previous
extracts was not simply a matter of supporting a government, as
distinct from a political party. Take the following letter from L. Ron
Hubbard:
"I wish to extend my appreciation to South African Scientologists
for their splendid activities and alertness. And I wish to thank the
South African Government for its forbearance and ex-Minister of
Health Herzog for his sense of justice and fair play in his 1968
pro-Scientology decision [not to appoint a Commission of Enquiry
into Scientology] ...
Note, please, that the press in Southern Africa call Dr. Radford and
Dr. Fischer when it wants adverse comments on Scientology. Those two
are United Party members. The United Party supports psychiatry in
South Africa. Therefore, unwittingly the Government is led to pay
for opposition and subversion."
[LRH, HCO Information Letter, 16th February 1969; reprinted in
K.T.C. Kotze, Inquiry into the Effects and Practices of Scientology,
pp. 60-61, Pretoria 1973]
This letter clearly reveals Hubbard's determination to enter the South
African political arena. His support was not only for the Government,
it was for the ruling Nationalist party, which he perceived as being
friendly to Scientology and hostile to psychiatry - a pet hate of his.

L. Ron Hubbard looks out at his world.
David Miscavige opens new Ideal Org: November 2nd 2003.
It's a history extending back more than 40 years, but an era not so
very different than our own. Instead of hot wars in the Middle East,
it was cold war across the US, Europe and Asia. Instead of impending
terrorist strikes, it was saber-rattling with intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
So quite in addition to all other reasons to form
a new church and bring the help Scientology brings everywhere, LRH
envisioned a special role for this nation as a point of safety to yet
salvage man no matter the potential devastation at the hands of
a madman.
That's why he descended on Johannesburg, in 1960, to
take the helm of a fledgling Church. But if those were his reasons for
embarking to South Africa, it took on a whole new meaning when he
arrived. For what he found was a land representing both all that is
good in this world, and all that is bad.
In terms of the bad, a
single word said it all, apartheid and the suppression of virtually
every indigenous people, perpetrated by the same psychiatric ideologies
that laid 6 million to rest under the banner of eugenics during the
second World War.
But beneath that surface, that obvious suppression he found something
far more significant: An unbroken tradition of spiritualism extending
back to the very dawn of man.
And, like all else LRH confronted, it
was no ivory tower observation. For while he befriended Ministers and
had tea with their wives, he also entered the townships, attended
tribal celebrations, and even shared their beer.
And what he found was
an indomitable human spirit that, although suppressed, no one
could extinguish.
Which is to say, he discovered it was not for
nothing that Africa was called the "cradle of civilization," possessing
a spirit that, if sparked, could burn forth throughout the world. And
that's the substance behind LRH's prediction that:
"From Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet."
And even more than a prediction, let there be no doubt, it was his
dream. Yes, he worked to address the problem directly, and at every
strata, from programs for white juvenile delinquents, to literacy tools
for black African schools—not to mention an end to the policy of
separateness.
But there was something far more important. Because LRH
knew those chains would be broken, and yet the freedom sought would
not be achieved without something else.
For, how free is a man if he is
not able?
And that is why, above all else, he worked to bring the
spiritual freedom that is only possible through the technology of
Scientology. And so the Johannesburg Church served as his base of
operation to, quite literally, standardize the pattern of operation for
all Scientology.
More than just the training of auditors, he
worked to provide the means to place the tech in everybody's hands.
Developing the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course as the means to both
enlighten and educate anyone — that was Johannesburg. Then again, the
Personal Efficiency Course, for the everyday man. That too
was Johannesburg.
And while LRH would soon return to Saint Hill,
to both standardize auditor training throughout the world, while also
providing the Grade Chart itself, his heart never left Africa. Point in
fact, the filmed LRH lectures comprising the Clearing Course were
filmed in Africa.
And while that story is long, it can best be
summed up in another statement he authored in Johannesburg, wherein he
defined "Personal Integrity":
"To know what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you've observed."
Since
ultimate freedom could not be achieved in a land where 90% of the
people could not yet avail themselves of it, LRH set out to change that
in the most direct and practical terms, proposing constitutions in both
South Africa and Rhodesia calling for "one man, one vote."
While
he brought those proposals to the highest levels, he was still yet
thirty years ahead of his time, and the powers-that-be were frightened
by his vision of freedom for every man. And although it was the end of
that chapter, it was far from the end of the story.
For herein was
also the lesson that while one man could not do it alone, a team of
OT's could. Which, in very real terms, is the spirit in which South
African Scientologists carried on through ensuing years exposing
psychiatric labor camps wherein black inmates were literally leased out
to corrupt corporate interests, then ramming home the issue until all
black patients were afforded basic rights under law.
Working to
empower the next generation, to "liberate through education," providing
the tools for study to almost 2 million black students and teachers
across every province. And during times of civil unrest, helping to
calm full-scale riots by blanketing whole districts with a moral code
all South Africa could embrace.
Until, yes, even when those chains
of apartheid were fully broken, there were Scientologists providing
the administrative tools for a new structure, so they could build a
better tomorrow.
And that brings us to South Africa, today. For
while the nation and world may yet speak of unemployment and crime,
it's nothing more than the inevitable result of the past half century
and evidence of the fact that "freedom from" is no freedom at all
without the means to achieve that higher goal.

Kenya:
Dianetics Pioneer:
Peter Mageri is a Christian minister and founder of Kenya's first
Orphans International School in the village of Gesonso. The school is
devoted to the care of children who have lost their parents to AIDS and
tribal wars. He brought the house down when he was awarded last month
as the year's top Dianetics Pioneer at an International Scientology Event held in Clearwater, Florida.
Towards the end of 2003, Rev. Mageri found the Dianetics Internet site while surfing the Net.
Immediately intrigued, he ordered a copy of
Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard,
read it and formed a village study group. After basic training and
online support, he started the first Book One co-audit in Kenya. A
co-audit is a way people can help each other with Dianetics or
Scientology counseling. Auditing is Scientology
and Dianetics counseling, taken from the Latin word audire which means
"to hear or listen." Co-audit is cooperative auditing in which two
people to learn to how to audit and audit each other.
With his group helping people overcome every imaginable mental
ailment besetting his people, including heavy loss and war-inflicted
trauma, people in nearby villages started hearing about it and attending
his seminars from as far as a hundred miles away.
To meet the demand, Peter erected Kenya's first Dianetics school —
funded by selling some of his cattle — and located it on a patch of land
he calls "L. Ron Hubbard Avenue."
There are now 400 Dianetics
co-auditors in Gesonso, with another 250 in the town of Kisii, 120 more
in the village of Rosaiga and 180 more in other outlying areas who
delivered a total of just under a quarter of a million hours of
Dianetics auditing in the region over the past year.

4. Did you see, experience, or hear about things that didn't
seem right while you were in the Church of Scientology? What were they,
and what convinced you to set aside your feelings?
Harsh Ethics -- reminded me of a what I've read about Stalinist
Russia, or North Korea. Censorship of information, force-fed bullshit,
fake stats, lines like 'we're doing great and everyone else is
terrible!'
Most of the staff struck me as being without sympathy -- i.e. no regard for the misfortunes of others. 'They just pulled it in.'
Most staff and many scientologists were so poor, living in poverty,
etc. Treated poorly, always working. Even worse, the church has no
regard for past upstats -- one minute you are a superstar and the next
you are in treason. No loyalty. Plus, a total lack of results. When the
chips are down, and you are at your lowest, you can count on them
abandoning you to protect their own interests. They are too concerned
with their own PR and preventing 'flaps.'
They operate from a position of fear, and secrecy.

The origins of the current debate can be traced to a 2011 film titled
“The Trap,” which presents a dire view of methadone treatment. Director
Ernest Abdyzhaparov is quoted as saying by local media outlets that he
made “The Trap” because he fears “methadone can become a new kind of
drug. It may lead to a new methadone-sale business.” In an interview
with the 24.kg news agency, Abdyzhaparov acknowledged an affinity for
principles espoused by the Church of Scientology, which opposes
methadone treatment as something that merely replaces one addiction with
another. “Scientology is a technique, a spiritual discipline,”
Abdyzhaparov said. “I use it in my work.”

Transcript of the video subtitles:
News anchorwoman:
The Church of Scientology in Kazakhstan and hundreds of its followers
now find themselves outside the law. The disciples of L. Ron Hubbard
failed to secure re-registration, so this nominally religious
association must wind down its activities in Kazakhstan.
News anchorman:
The "black list" of the Kazakhstan Agency for Religious Affairs now
also includes a number of other similar organizations. Yevgeniya Bodrova
reports.
Reporter (Yevgeniya Bodrova): New
branches of the Church of Scientology are always opened with great
fanfare. Its members are fond of staging all kinds of activities that
attract attention. In Kazakhstan, all of this is now illegal.
Scientologists are prohibited from conducting services and calling their
association religious.
Marat Azilkhanov, Deputy chairman, Kazakhstan Agency for Religious Affairs
The religious experts who conducted the analysis concluded that this
organization is not religious. In other words, it is not recognized as a
religion.
Reporter: Experts found that what
Scientologists do is anything but religious. The main goal of those who
follow the teachings of founder L. Ron Hubbard is to sell as many books,
services, and tickets to seminars as possible. Mr. Hubbard is even
credited with the famous quote: "If you want to get rich, invent a new
religion."
Yulia Denisenko, President, Association of Help Centers for Victims of Destructive Religious Movements (in Astana):
This is a plain marketing scheme. The focus is on selling a product,
the sessions for the so-called "clearing" of "engrams" that are recorded
in your head. Without these sessions, you cannot attain salvation, and
the world will perish in a horrible catastrophe.
Reporter:
Meanwhile, the number of Hubbard's followers is growing worldwide, but
so is the number of people who suffer because of his teachings. Victims
speak of persons being literally turned into zombies. An Almaty woman,
Nataliya, tried to pull her son out of this pseudo-church, but she was
physically attacked.
Nataliya, Mother of a member of the Church of Scientology:
Two girls accompanied my son and brought him before me. My very own son
didn't recognize me. I was shocked. He had glassy eyes. I was so upset
that I sprang forward and slapped him in the face. That's when it
started. There were five men in the room. They all rushed at me, one
kicked me, one pulled my hair, ...
Reporter: The
Scientologists categorically disagree with the state agency's decision
and insist that they must be allowed to continue their so-called
missionary work.
Anastasia Minaeva, Director of Official Affairs, Church of Scientology of Almaty:
We have no intention to close. We intend to continue our activity as a
religious association. There are people who practice Scientology, many
of them. By all means, they want to continue to practice Scientology
together.
Reporter: But even after being denied
re-registration, Scientologists still have a way to fully legally
continue to operate in Kazakhstan, for example, by calling themselves a
social organization instead of a religious one. The church already has
many entities with this status in various regions.
When
re-registration ended, the number of religious institutions in
Kazakhstan had dropped by a third. The procedure applied to both
traditional religious groups and non-traditional ones. Those that are
funded from outside the country will now be especially carefully
monitored and required to report all foreign income to taxation
authorities.

Transcript of the video subtitles:
Reporter (Meruert Shakenova):
In Almaty, two organizations of Scientologists have both failed to
obtain registration. Specialists from the Kazakhstan Agency for
Religious Affairs spoke about this today. An analysis of organizational
documents was conducted by independent experts on religion.
Marat Azilkhanov, Deputy chairman, Kazakhstan Agency for Religious Affairs:
The religious experts who conducted the analysis concluded that this
organization is not religious. It is a purely commercial organization.
Reporter:
The second forum of religious scholars was held today, and the first
results of the countrywide re-registration process were made public. At
the beginning of 2011, Kazakhstan had 4,500 religious associations, but
after the re-registration process ended on October 25, 2012, the number
was down to 3,000.
Kairat Lama Sharif, Chairman, Kazakhstan Agency for Religious Affairs:
On the basis of the experts' work, a new classification of religious
associations has been put forward. Whereas there previously were 46
religious denominations in Kazakhstan, there are now 17.
Reporter:
Agency officials say that, since the end of the re-registration
process, there have not been any complaints from religious associations.
On the contrary, all of the major denominations in Kazakhstan have
expressed support for the reform.
Bishop Gennady, Chancellor, Orthodox Church of Kazakhstan:
It is a requirement of society to maintain order and to protect our
citizens, especially our youth and our children, against unscrupulous
preachers of extremism or even terrorism in the guise of religion.
Reporter:
But to make sure that the words "religion" and "extremism" never again
appear together, much more work remains to be done. The participants at
the forum talked about this. Former member of parliament Murat Abenov,
the newly appointed Vice Minister of Education, proposed a gradual
retraining for educators who teach about religion, with a mandatory
certification procedure.
The speeches given by the experts indicate
that schools and colleges will, in the near future, introduce a new
religious studies course that is compulsory, not optional, as it was
before. Issues related to the Internet were also discussed.
Zarema Shaukenova, Director, Institute of Philosophy, Political Science and Religious Studies:
The practice of closing terrorist websites in Kazakhstan as an
emergency measure overlooks the need for alternative websites that deal
with social issues and are tailored for target groups of active Internet
users, from teenagers to senior citizens.
Reporter:
Financial transparency did not go unmentioned either. All religious
organizations in Kazakhstan are required to report money received from
outside the country, as was announced by Kairat Lama Sharif. Special
attention will be given to this issue in the near future.

The Fiction in the Yellow Tent

Scientology Study Tech in Botswana Schools:
September 30th marks the 40th anniversary of Independence for the
people of Botswana. But thousands of Botswanans will attest that their
freedom really began when they walked into the bright yellow tent of the
Scientology Volunteer Ministers African Goodwill Tour.
For the past year a team of Scientology
Volunteer Ministers has been traveling to towns and cities in
Botswana,
providing courses, workshops and one-on-one help to the people of this
southern Africa country.
Having won its independence from the
United Kingdom in 1996, Botswana is known as one of the most peaceful
and prosperous countries in Africa. But with the highest rates of
HIV/AIDS infection in the world, life expectancy is 34 years — one of
the lowest on Earth. And although its literacy rate is high compared to
other African nations with 80% of its adult population able to read and
write, the quality of education is not adequate to compete in a
technological world.
The African Goodwill Tour is currently
in south eastern Botswana, where local residents have trained in the
technology contained in the Scientology Handbook, and have set up their
own local Scientology Volunteer Ministers groups in the city of Gaborone
and village of Mochudi.
A Volunteer Minister who has been
trained by the Goodwill Tour recently delivered two study workshops in
schools in the village of Mochudi. The workshops were very successful,
with students now eager to learn things they could not grasp before.
One of the teachers has now enrolled on the Study Course at the Volunteer Ministers center.
