Once again I ran across the clip of the cult's official announcement of Hubbard's death after they realized they could not longer pretend he was still alive, and decided to watch it again
I found it rather odd how strongly Norman Starkey tries to emphasize Hubbard was of sound mind.
Just the fact that he would feel the need to mention it leads me to believe that anyone who recently came in contact with Hubbard knew he was nuttier that grandma's fruit cake,
but the fact that he feels the need to so strongly emphasize it pretty much confirms it.
Now back to my question;
Every now and then I'll read someone posting along the lines of ...
"Sure Hubbard was a 'flawed' individual but you shouldn't discount his entire body of work because of that, plenty of eccentric people made great discoveries"
Just to be clear , I'm not referring to Hubbard being 'eccentric', I'm referring to him being Batshit Crazy.
I'm curious does anyone here actually believe Hubbard was sane and not Batshit Crazy?
If so, please explain how you can possibly believe the man giving this lecture is playing with a full deck.

If I had the opportunity to listen to this lecture upon my introduction to Scientology, my interest in the value of Scientology would have lasted roughly five minutes, tops.
