Look at the quotes below closer, and you will find the terms with *** encapsulating them. .

On page 157 of Science of Survival it states:

"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....

...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.

...A Venezuelan dictator once decided to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country were also beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and ***destroying*** all the beggars in Venezuela an end was put to leprosy in that country."

These statements can be interpreted in a number of ways. However, one thing is certain, the last quote uses the term "destroy", which means to kill and/or annihilate, and coupled with the other quotes of "dispose", and "quietly and without sorrow", etc., all of these surely beckon for qualification to the effect that Hubbard does not approve of the genocide of the Venezuelan dictator, or murdering those who do not respond to auditing who are below a certain point on his very arbitrary tone scale as "disposing of" might imply. Without such qualification, which is woefully absent, we can rightfully infer where his sympathies lie: murder on a massive scale. Because we can easily draw such an inference, the statements demand qualification, and the qualification is absent.

Why did not Hubbard qualify these statements?

I will tell you why: He does approve of it. No, that doesn't mean he would do it. He knows he would go to jail. We can rightfully believe he would, if he could do so with impunity.

Any man who would utter such repugnant ideas as acceptable is not a man with a religious or compassionate heart, and I doubt that someone with such genocidal sympathies is capable of creating a bona fide path for spiritual growth, for clearly it is reasonable to suspect that he has something far more sinister in mind.

The man is sick, beyond sick. Unchecked, he would be beyond dangerous. Fortunately, he did not achieve his dream of a Scientology world order.

Thank Providence for that.
