One of the great scams Hubbard and scientology has engaged in is the "Archives Project." The pitch: the scribblings of L. Ron Hubbard are so important to the universe that they must be preserved for all time so when life returns to earth after the inevitable nuclear holocaust has turned it into a wasteland, the "tech" will be there for them to start over again. To that end, Hubbard designated the bulk of his estate be allocated to an organization that would be created for this purpose. This is the "Church of Spiritual Technology" or CST. Hubbard's money could not be transferred to CST … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard: The Metteya (New Buddha)
This is quite strange. Scientology no longer publishes Hubbard’s Hymn of Asia for obvious reasons… Hubbard was never one to hide his light under a bushel. Pronouncing himself a doctor, nuclear physicist, war hero, master mariner, great philosopher, musician, photographer, cinematographer and more, he also claimed he was the second coming of the Buddha. He wrote a poem called Hymn of Asia supposedly to be presented to a Buddhist convention in the mid 50’s. In this book he claims the Buddha is to be reincarnated in 1950 as a golden/red-haired Westerner. Wonder who that could be? The book … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard: My Philosophy
I recently did a post about “What Is Greatness” (L. Ron Hubbard -- Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?). This is a follow up with another of Hubbard's "PR" pieces intended to make him sound magnanimous and benign. These are the two pillars of the Hubbard myth. If you read My Philosophy without blindly accepting what he has to say, it is apparent that his philosophy is to tell a whole lot of lies. I'm not going to document each of the lies with the factual citations — just make note of the most egregious ones in he recounting of "hi philosophy." If you want to know the truth read Barefaced Messiah by … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard — Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
Hubbard churned out thousands of writings -- books, magazine articles, policy letters, technical bulletins etc. I have often noted that if something Hubbard said is inconvenient to the current circumstance, you can probably find something else he said that is contradictory and will suit the current need. There are a few writings of Hubbard that were pure self-promotional propaganda. His statement: "the work was free, keep it so" comes to mind, ha ha ha. NOTHING is free in scientology. But perhaps the most blatant of all is his essay "What is Greatness?" It is used by … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard on the Subject of Stink
After I published something in the Thursday Funnies about a tabloid story pegged to the fact that scientologists are not supposed to use scented products., a number of people asked me for the reference. Of course, the source of all knowledge in the universe issued an HCO Bulletin on this topic. It took me a bit to find it, but here it is Data About Fragrances: You can see once again, Hubbard's obsession with the psychs -- who are the cause of all evil in the universe -- is apparent once again in this reference: "The psychs even have a … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard Solves Planetary Pollution
Scientologists actually put out this foolishness -- the saddest part is that they BELIEVE this is true. Like Battlefield Earth telling the story of psych influence on earth, Mission Earth, the 10-volume soft-core porn sci-fi monstrosity is seen by scientologists as Hubbard's commentary on the state of planet earth and his views on sexual perversion and orientation, banking, the media, PR Firms and a whole lot more. Including how to solve pollution on earth -- simple, just dream up a spore that eats pollution. Hey presto! Frankly, though scientology HATES being labelled a "sci-fi" … [Read more...]
About “Clearing Earth”
Came across this promotional item from 2020 It contains a quote from Hubbard that is not dated. Probably from the 50's or 60's, but let's assume for argument's sake these were his last words in 1986. That's almost 40 years ago now -- and I guess the passage of time has proven that in fact we CAN'T clear Earth. Things have in fact gone backwards. Even counting all the "Dianetic" and "Natural" Clears -- there were no more than 75,000 cumulative by 1986. The population of earth in 1986 was 5 billion. Today it is 8 billion. Today, according to scientology's latest Clear … [Read more...]
Training Under LRH — The Legacy of David Miscavige
Well, this should be interesting. A talk, at St Hill, about what it was like training under Ron. Do you think the "legendary" John Parselle (interesting side note -- he signed me up for the Sea Org when he had been sent to Australia as a Tours Reg in 1973, he was never a posted auditor again) will mention the elephant in the room? The "training under Ron" that John participated in was perhaps the Briefing Course and definitely the Class VIII course on board the Apollo. NEITHER OF THESE COURSES ARE AVAILABLE IN SCIENTOLOGY TODAY. The two auditor courses that Hubbard declared … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard: How to Present Scientology
Scientology often tries to reach out to real churches and human rights organizations in an attempt to generate goodwill for itself and create "PR Area Control." Here are some of L. Ron Hubbard's writings on the subject to provide some insight into what is really going on in these efforts to ingratiate themselves with other groups. Hubbard had a lot to say about how to present scientology and make it acceptable in society. Most of which has nothing to do with scientology as a subject. But instead revolves putting forth an IMAGE of what scientology is to make it "acceptable." And making bold … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard on The Cause of Crime
This is another of the descent into insanity scribblings of Hubbard… This is not only factually untrue in many places, it is also illogical. The VAST majority of people convicted of crimes have never been anywhere near a "psych." By the end of his life Hubbard had become obsessed with BT's and psychs. They had always been hot topics or him, but we know from his published writings (including the Mission Earth crazy) that the psychs had become the target for everything wrong in society. And we know from the account of one of the 3 people who was with him in his last days and that he was so … [Read more...]
