That's interesting.
Presuming what Bill says is true, then Hubbard knew by 74 it wasn't right but kept on doing it anyway so scio wouldn't disappear. Perhaps a simple lie like that is the lynchpin of all the ethics crap and sec checking that created so much despair. :confused2:
This gives Hubbard credit for a moral sense which he never possessed.
Tubbie knew from the 1940s already that his techniques worked and that they could make him very powerful and rich. He didn't invent any of them but learned the basics in a random kind of way from various sources, including works on psychoanalysis, Eastern religion, stage hypnotism, black magic, and his own insights as a mentally unstable person. In their original context the techniques he borrowed were harmless, or controlled by group authority, and some might be helpful, but Tubbie used them deliberately and always for his own advantage, regardless of the damage they might do to other people. Very few people at the time understood what Hubbard was up to - his son Nibs and Charles Manson were two of them.
From time to time Hubbard puts the truth out pretty frankly and this seems surprising as it would normally be a great risk. But he could rely on his brain-washing working, and it did. I suspect he didn't give a damn anyway. He came to believe his own con.


That was DOX or STFU to the 10 power taken to a complete and utter done.


Get outta town. Really?
