Wogs (R) and Englishmen (Eurotour 2001 Report excerpt)
Excerpt from Eurotour 2001 Report
In Waterloo Station in London I was talking on a payphone when this
man, bigger than me, clean suit, clean shaven, came up to me, very
close, looked me right in the eye, and said, just above a whisper,
"I'm a police officer." I kept my TRs in, and he continued, "I know
you don't mean anything by it, but your cap could get you punched out.
It's a serious insult here." I knew immediately he was talking about
the word WOG ® stitched into the front of my cap. I was carrying two
more WOG hats ® with me in my suitcase.
The officer and I chatted a minute. He confirmed that "wog" ® in the
UK is "nigger." I took off my WOG hat ® and thanked him. There were
times while in England, just so as to not pigheadedly get the shit
beat out of me, that I didn't wear the hat. But I did at the May 10
Brighton picket, and in a number of other places, and I talked about
it with different people. It is an interesting word, a meme which is
being brought into focus as its meaning is developing. It is only
partially defined to only a part of the society - the wog world ® -
which will define it, and which it defines. It's a study in
information diffusion. In any case, my UK experience got me thinking
that the "wog" equals "nigger" issue has to be confronted.
For Scientologists, the word does mean "nigger," not as an offensive
reference to a person's dark skin color, but as an offensive reference
to his "natural inferiority" because he is not a person with white
skin, or, for Scientologists, not a person with clearance.
Scientologists are brought by $cientology to view wogs ® as naturally
inferior, because they don't have Scientologists' superior awareness,
ability, "tech," and clearance. Wog justice ® is viewed as people who
would call dark skinned humans "niggers" would view "nigger justice"-
naturally inferior. It is etymologically cute that the British, who,
allegedly, coined the word "wog" centuries ago for the dark skinned,
and inferior, people they had conquered in the Indian subcontinent in
creating their naturally superior Empire, really would have called the
naturally inferior native legal system "wog justice" ®.
Because it means "nigger," a naturally inferior hominid in
$cientology's teachings, I call myself a wog ®, (indeed I am a wog
prince ®) and I wear my WOG hat ® proudly. I do so for many good
reasons, one of which is to bring attention to $cientology's unjust,
dirty war which it has been waging against wogs ® from the moment
Hubbard first used the word to get his Scientologists to invalidate
and harm "them." Perhaps when he first hatched "homo novis."
Scientologists postulate themselves as something different from human,
and, naturally, superior to human. Human beings are wogs ®. Homo
sapiens are wogs ®.
It really is impossible to strip Hubbard's attacks on wogs ® out of
$cientology, and leave something recognizable, because the whole
subject is based on attacking wogs ®. For $cientology to succeed, it
teaches, wogs ® and wog ® institutions must be shown, by invalidation
and attack, to be failures, and actively brought to fail.
$cientology's failing, in this "games condition," means the acceptance
of the equality, or even, when you get honest, the superiority, of
wogs ®. Should not then the wogs ® fight for equality, and even
superiority, as if their very existence depends on it? And shouldn't
those wogs ® who fight for equality say so on their hats?
It is true that Scientologists will be offended by WOG hats ®, and WOG
Billboards ®, and WOG Churches ®, but Scientologists are trained and
expected to be offended by the slightest sign of support for wogs ®,
particularly the "suppressive" wogs ® who fight for their equality.
Being "offended," Scientologists are trained to become massively
offensive, using their "superior" comm skills, their "superior"
"tech," their "superior" PR, their superior "legal," their "superior"
intel, their "superior" "power." As long as the War on Wogs (WoW!)®
persists it will be necessary to offend Scientologists. We shouldn't
flinch from doing so with a smile.
But good, reasoning wogs ® would not do anything to offend other wogs
® because of a correctable lack of education, or a misunderstanding. A
dark wog ® might erroneously think WOG ® means "nigger" as an
offensive reference to his and his race's skin color, rather than as a
sign of support for wogs ®, dark or light, who fight for their
equality. To a wog ® of color who wasn't aware of the way the word had
been forever changed by Hubbard and $cientology's war during the past
few decades, it would be as if someone colorless like me wore a NIGGER
hat. WOG ® is bigger than that, includes all races and languages, and
represents universal equality.
I think that we who support those wogs ® who fight for their equality
in this war on wogs ® have a duty and an opportunity to initiate a
dialog with media and educators, most immediately those within or
associated with black or dark wogs' ® rights and institutions, to make
them aware of the war, and gain their support. This "religion" is
seeking to impose its "superiority" and its other bigotries by the
kind of fiat once enjoyed by white slave owners. The new slavers
should be opposed by thinking wogs ® of every tone. Remember, and
check with our friend wog ® Jesse, inside $cientology, the darkest
skinned Scientologists call the whitest white nonscientologists "wogs"
®, and dutifully teach that these white wogs ®, or black wogs ®, or
any other toned wogs ® are naturally inferior.
That's not to say that Hubbard was not a racist. He was a racist plus
a misanthrope. $cientology teaches and imposes misanthropy.
Additionally, it has within its number people who are also racists.
Wog ® is a misanthropic term taken from a racist vocabulary. Hubbard
generalized it, as one would expect of a suppressive. This is the
definition from my big dictionary: n-s sometimes cap [prob. short for
golliwog] 1. a native of a Middle or Far Eastern country - usu. used
disparagingly 2. a usu. dark skinned foreigner - usu. used
disparagingly. Also n-s [prob. short for polliwog] chiefly Austral :
a pathogenic microorganism <the oxygen in the air immediately kills
the ~s that have caused the trouble -Sydney (Australia) Bull.
broadly: an injurious or repugnant organism <spiders, centipedes,
beetles and innumerable other ~s -I.L. Idriess (Webster's Third New
Int. Dic.)
