Re: Read Veda's post just a two or so days back.
Well for starters, Hubbard's tendency viciously to turn on former associates and order his juniors to abuse, defraud, and persecute them is well documented from earlier years. The abuses which came down from above after hubbard disappeared from normal lines of control were very much in keeping with the very well documented abuses which occurred earlier when he was known to be directly & publicly in control of the organization.
Things got arguably a great deal more intense in the eighties in terms of the extent to which abusive behavior became normal. But that is quite reasonably in keeping with the continuing decline in Hubbard's mental condition. He did become so paranoid as to cut himself off from his family and lifetime friends & associates and seek to live a life on the run; a life spent dependent on a few associates as isolated as himself.
That sort of decline could be expected to produce an increase in suspicion and decrease in tolerance towards others; especially those whom he had wronged himself.

Hi Gary, how are you?
My question here is how do you know for the fact that all that mentioned above were really originated by Hubbard and not falsified on the way, that Dan Koon for example find very suspicious.
