Richard, I was aware of it as an awful racial slur, from the time I was a child, warned by British relatives never to use it. Claims that it means something else come from attempts to retroactively whitewash its use by people like Hubbard:

‘Suggestions that the word is an acronym for “wily Oriental gentleman”, “working on government service”, or similar, are examples of false etymology or backronyms.’

-> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog#Origin

All possible meanings Hubbard might have originally been familiar with are at least mildly demeaning, and when he got to Saint Hill in the late 1950s all the British there would have been well aware of its truly vile racist implications, and any use of it should have stopped if they and their leader had any decency. That it could continue to be used is telling of the malignant evil underbelly of a man who also had children thrown into ships’ chain lockers, oversaw overweight women who couldn’t swim being thrown into filthy port water to nearly drown, and delighted in watching an older man push a peanut across a splintery wooden deck with his nose until he bled. From other things I’ve seen, I suspect he took a perverse, childish pleasure in putting one over on his American followers by putting a ‘naughty’ word in their mouths that they didn’t realize the real meaning of.

I’m sorry you got conned unwittingly into being part of and supporting an organization and leader so vile and abusive at the heart of it, but at least you figured out after not too long that you should get out.

Richard, that Ron was a raving racist is obvious. It didn’t much detract from the dubious quality of his ‘discoveries’ but SHOULD warn the folks of NOI and similar AWAY from DM’s enterprise carved out of the remaining dregs of Ron’s scam.

I keep waiting for the ticking timebomb of NOI’s black supremacy colliding with Hubbard’s racism and the “whitebread” constituency of scn.

LmR, so WHAT if it’s delusional? Everything ‘good’ in scn is delusional.
It turns out that attesting ‘clear’ was the worst thing I could do while “in”, as everything started crumbling around me just after that, and the only “solution” they had was to show me the open road and tell me NOT to come back.
IRL, that last was the best thing to happen in my life. It got me started on re-building the life scn (strongly) suggested I abandon.

Linear13,
The new “REALITY” TV…. scns shouting at ashtrays and televised ‘bullbaiting’. That might just stir scnTVs ratings off of zero; enough to be rated with REAL TV channels. It’ll be classed right up there with watching a train wreck.

GOOD ideas! Let’s hope the tiny tyrant™ doesn’t get wind of them. 😉

Linear13.

Didn’t SciTV go “live” to a monstrous YAWN to anyone but us scn-watchers? It’ll stay on DirecTV’s lineup as long as Dwarfenführer® keeps directing the checks be written — to zero effect on scn’s recruitment problems.

*”Contribute”, in the current scn context, most resembles extortion. 😉

Of COURSE none of them have considered they, meaning COB, could be wrong. By definition, every brain fart he has is the most inspired thinking to happen in the UNIVERSE/MULTIVERSE. He CAN’T be wrong. Only downtone DBs can even ENTERTAIN the idea.
“2.5 (boredom) is HIGH for most wogs…. Possibly, but in my case, after 2.5 comes unconsciousness — (sleep). If I tried to watch what I’ve sampled on the Web, I’d be all sorts of keyed-in and likely no longer “clear” from all the mass & pain inflicted.

Hah – Maybe the two derivations above fit together. The British seamen were calling the Chinese dock workers Wogs and the British authorities told the Chinese authorities that it merely meant worthy or wily oriental gentlemen.

I may be the first person in this sector to figure that out. haha
