Excellent. Not surprising, but it is good to get some confirmation.
This lends weight to the idea of Hubbard being bananas at the end of his life, and Denk using Vistaril merely to address the "dysphasia" after the stroke. He was in no condition to think of what further lies or PR he needed to produce to augment his legacy — he was simply on the express lane exit and trying to hang on.
I wonder if we will get any more info on RVY's idea of Hubbard being killed.
I hope JB starts talking soon. Steve Pfauth, who supposedly has a lot to say, who was present with Hubbard when he snuffed it and signed the death certificate, sure isn't saying it very fast.

My opinion sums up Hubbard’s as a person whose whole game was to garner admiration for him through shock and awe. He could only have those people around him who were in awe of him. The moment he felt that somebody close to him was no longer in awe of him, he got rid of that person. To him, a person losing his awe for him meant that his game was being found out.
The more Hubbard felt that he was being found out, the deeper he got into seclusion He also felt that by being Fabian he could maintain awe over those out there through his written works.
However, his behavior could not be hidden from those he surrounded himself with, and I am sure some of them start to lose their awe of him over time. So, the number of people around him start to reduce as well, and he was left with only those who were absolutely essential for him, and whom he could not musical chair either.
I think that near the end Annie Broeker may still have been in awe of him but Pat Broeker was certainly not, nor was David Miscavige. They knew Hubbard’s game and had no respect for him. Hubbard probably knew it but it was too late for him to do anything about it.
Hubbard had started to lose his marbles after 1980. He last coherent effort at shock and awe was Battlefield Earth, but his capabilities started to slide rapidly after that. He could no longer shock and awe Pat Broeker and David Miscavige unless he went along with them. It was more like a mutual out ruds scenario.
For Hubbard there was no way out. He was stuck with Pat and David. For Pat and David, Scientology was reduced to a business just like it was for Hubbard. This was the case with Denk too but he was not ruthless, as one needs to be in this business. The most ruthless won the crown.
There was no need to murder Hubbard. He was solidly in his own trap. There was no one left to vent his anger upon. He could not command Pat or David as they were no longer in awe of him. He had nowhere to escape and that knowledge did him in. He died miserable knowing no one worthwhile was in awe of him.
I think Hubbard went into apathy and didn’t care about a will. In his mind he had alienated even his wife and children. He had no friends. He probably knew the quality of “friends” he was left with – Pat and David.
Now Pat and David is another story.
This is just how it all seems to add up for me.
