L. Ron Hubbard made many lofty claims about what he would bring to the world. End war, insanity, cruelty, criminality and unhappiness. Not even a blip.
He promised to raise everyone’s IQ, free them from fears, unwanted emotions, upsets, disease and usher them into an eternity of enlightenment and spiritual freedom. Instead, he created a bubble of people who lightened their bank accounts in exchange for status — on one hand certificates that recognized them for achieving states and abilities that they can never demonstrate and on the other handing out pins and bowling trophies for giving even more money to establish status in their community.
Hubbard’s true lasting, tangible legacy is the Us v. Them mindset ingrained into Scientologists. It justifies disconnection and breaking up families — tangible, real results for the Hubbard balance sheet. And a step further — the attitude towards anyone who questions or opposes them in any way. Scientologists believe such people should literally be dead. This IS what they have been taught— it is not a natural instinct, it is instilled. It is Hubbard’s poison legacy.
In the past weeks there have been a number of Scientology trolls who have come to this blog with comments that make this point abundantly clear. I include just two:
Typical trolls, hiding under their Bridge to Total Fiefdom.
While most of the rest of the world go about their lives trying to actually better their world and leave a real legacy of friends and family and better environments behind them.
Their delusions about their God Emperors All Wrong Hubris and the Demented Maggot and Their ravings would be laughable except for the incredible toxicity such BS has generated (and sadly continues to).
I’m off to enjoy the cicadas and wallabies on my morning walk after a great work Xmas party last night where we laughed, joked and chatted at the local waterside club for hours. Got more “case gain” for that at no cost to me at all than any of the “sessions” I ever received.
The Fat Fraud was occasionally right, Mike. When He said that peeps who attack you are smaller and meaner than you, He wasn’t talking about Hisself but those of “us” (like you, Leah and many, many other REAL heroes) are who are really working to better the world.
Hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving – you deserve it.
