Today a small audio clip from a lecture L. Ron Hubbard delivered to his followers at Scientology's First Melbourn Advanced Clinical Course appeared on the Wikileaks website. In this clip, Scientology's founder gives a frightening hint of the violent nature of Scientology's proceedure "R2-45."
"Even the cops or gangsters could make a Clear out of anybody under these circumstances, by taking a Webley .38 or a Smith and Wesson or Colt or something like that and doing R2-45. That exteriorizes most anybody." (hear it in Ron's own voice in the video to the left.)
"R2" refers to "Intensive Procedure: Route 2" which is to be used "If the preclear had any appreciable communication lag, as established in the third step" of Route 1, or in layman terms, difficult cases.
"45" refers to the placement of this process within Route 2 (which begins with step 16 or "R2-16").
R2-45 is specifically mentioned in L. Ron Hubbard's book "The Creation of Human Ability: A Handbook for Scientologists" in which it is only stated that the process is "frowned upon by society at this time."
I, for one, hope society never stops frowning upon cold blooded murder in the name of an "applied philosophy".

“Unfortunately, it is all too often true that suppressors to a creative action must be removed before construction and creation takes place. Any person very high on the Tone Scale may level destruction toward a suppressor.”

“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 unenturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow.”

“Where you spot a sudden cessation of auditing, the barring of a person from auditing or a refusal to audit, you can be certain that the person responsible for this cessation of auditing or the refusal to permit or encourage it has a selfish profit to make or is hiding something. A person like this is such a menace to himself and to others around him that auditing is much too good for him; he should be shot.”

“Possibly a handful of thetans will someday become alarmed at the worries and efforts of Homo sapiens and try to throw the remaining race into a super-controlled slavery.”

“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. It is not necessary to produce a world of Clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order. It is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough to get their tone level above the 2.0 line… or simply quarantining them from society. 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, and end was put to leprosy in that country.”

“It is doubtful if the thetans will pull off the ultimate trick—simply knocking out the atmosphere of the planet—that “clears” everybody after a fashion.”

“…And it will happen and be allowed to happen simply because all this is so incredible that nobody will even think of stopping it until it is far, far too late. Its incredibility is its best safeguard…”
