Much, much more on Jack Parson's Wikipedia page. Fascinating reading. What a character!
Thank you very much.
I didn't know the hubs ran off with his boat and all of his money too!
As if losing his redhead to-be Mother of Satan wasn't bad enough.
The sex and magic kind of culties don't really surprise me anymore, but it's incredibly fascinating how some of these people weaved their crazyness into their daily lives and got away with a bunch of crazy.
No wonder conspiracy theorists a going crazy about this stuff. A Satan/Military Industrial Complex sandwich. Jolly good show!
It seems that LaFayette overcame his long-term penis problems with Satanism, massive drug use, orgies (in that setting), and a quest to conjure the Whore of Babylon and Anti-Christ. Go Freezone LOL! Yes, that is the root of scientology. And stealing shit to make it all happen.
Gotta admit, dude had some wits pulling that scam off.
But then, he also got a bunch of Maroccan military killed in his efforts to get a foot in the door toward overthrowing their government.
Though the first bit is a bit elaborate for Pecker Tech.
The crazy is strong with him.
I've never heard that he had wits because he stole shit, nor anything to do with the Moroccan government.
I think Morocco is a Kingdom....still?
Here is something written about Hubbard....and Morocco.

The demise of Scientology Morocco came the following year, in August 1972, when a second major attempt was made on the life of the king. As the king was flying back from Europe, two Moroccan F-15 fighter jets opened fire on his plane. The king famously instructed his pilot to radio the fighter pilots and tell them that the king was dead and that the plane should be allowed to land so they could all celebrate. The fighter pilots were deceived. Once the king was safe on the ground a massive reprisal was launched. When General Oufkir was found guilty of leading the attempted coup, he and his followers were ruthlessly hunted down, along with their family members, friends, and acquaintances.
TL;DR. How did he kill people to overthrow their government? He couldn't even get a boner, let alone head up an overthrow. Please explain.

I saw you WTF my comment.
Please explain what your link means. Okay? Thanks.
Excerpt:
This reminds me there is a book published by Malika Oufkir, the daughter of General Oufkir called La Prisoniere. It is an account of how the whole family were arrested and thrown into prison for 20 years, never to be released. The youngest was 18 months old at the time.
The book was a good read, but details some of the barbarity of these regimes. No wonder people want to off them.
I said that. He definitely didn't get people killed directly. I was very wrong about that.
There's a lengthy bit about the whole Co$ Morocco episode in the book "Going Clear", of which i have the audio book downloaded from YouTube. Something like 530 minutes of audio, so not easy to browse through.
Would be great if anyone with the book could chime in.
Anyway, i feel a right fool for posting it.
In June 1952, Parsons and his new wife, Marjorie Cameron, were set to travel to Mexico. Evidence suggests that Parsons was planning to go and live there, never to come back to the US. The day before their departure, he received a rush order of explosives, supposedly for a movie.
On June 17, 1952 at 5:08 pm, two explosions ripped through the “Parsonage,” severely injuring Parsons. A susequent investigation concluded that Parsons had been mixing fulminate of mercury when he accidentally dropped the mixing container, resulting in the initial explosion, which then set off the another explosion via additional chemicals in his workshop. That said, being extremely experienced with explosives and always taking appropriate safety measures, many who knew and worked with him argue that he would not have been so careless.
After being dragged out of the house by the neighbors, he was rushed to the hospital and died thirty minutes later. He was only 37 years old. His mother, upon hearing of his accident, committed suicide.
