Read the article and attached documents on Tony Ortega's site this evening. There are a series of declarations that tell a lot of the real story of the state of radical Scientology. Some weeks ago I said that I would post some things from LRH here for people to contemplate as there are some who read and post on this blog that seem to believe that LRH was flawless and that the aberration that is the church of Scientology today is entirely created by others.
