As-Wased
Was just reading through the Penthouse interview of L. Ron Hubbard, Jr., and it is quite telling.
I thought I'd put these together to get a better view of L. Ron Hubbard, Sr.
Pretty telling...
From this "tech" we have the Sea Org in Int'l waters, bolting all over this country constantly, riding off into the sunset in an RV...what a guy...
I thought I'd put these together to get a better view of L. Ron Hubbard, Sr.
Penthouse: There was no church when he wrote the book?
Hubbard: Oh, no, no. You see, his goal was basically to write the book, take the money and run. But in 1950, this was the first major book of do-it-yourself psychotherapy, and it became a runaway best-seller. He kept getting, literally, mail trucks full of mail. And so he and some other people, including J. W. Campbell, the editor of Astounding Science Fiction, started the Dianetics Research Foundation in Elizabeth, New Jersey. And the post office kept backing up and just dumping mail sacks into the building. The foundation had a staff that just ran through the envelopes and threw away anything that didn't have any money in it.
Penthouse: This has been going on since the fifties?
Hubbard: Sure. It was pretty tame back then compared to very sophisticated operations like they have now. When we hid assets, for example --I remember being in Philadelphia when the FBI anc the U.S. Marshall's Office were after my father on a contempt-of-court charge. There I was running across town with my father with our complete mailing list and a suitcase full of money! Heading for the hills!
Penthouse: Did he invest the money?
Hubbard: No. He wanted to stay really liquid. Very fluid, so he could cut and run at any time.
