Good post, what i get from it, is a pattern you see in hubbard lectures where he talks about everything, but never really delivers, he make claims that arent true, and put himself in position of power that he didnt really have, getting things like

I'd get a little chill up the back of my neck with the real power behind the stuff we were studying

That what he intended with all his books, lectures and stuff, that people think that he have the answers, the power, the knowledge and what i see in this, that he can be bad, if he want to (he wants you to know this).

Thats where his true power lays, not in what he tells, but the hidden meaning he dont tell, that he is the one who knows, that you must listen to him and apply the tech how he tell you to do it, even when you use it in a bad way, you better use it the bad way he tells, cuz we in scientology know this bad things, you know, we can brainwash, so behave, is not that we are bad but, we can be flexible.

Is like a master killer teching his pupil how to kill, but saying, you know i use to peel the skin of the people who mess with me, you know, i just know how to keep them alive there, while they have no skin, and they scream all this kinds of things to you, you know, that was back in the day i use to be that way, you know... Oh yeah the gun, use it this way...

Hes not teaching how to do that, he just telling he knows how to

Trust the Psi Corps.
When Hubbard realized Scientology could easily exist without him, he took militaristic control over the organization with his goofy Sea Org, at that point it wasn't about anything but feeding his paranoia and ensuring complete and unquestioned loyalty from his followers. As his drug induced paranoia grew so did his list of enemies. I often wondered in only 2.5% of the people on the planet are 'Suppressive People' why does every location Scientology chooses to to set up shop seem to be so heavily concentrated with 'Suppressive People' :coolwink:

I can understand anyone being "paranoid" about their "creation" escaping their control, and that is why AI computer experiments always have an OFF switch. In the case of something like $cn, which was supposed to be the great savior of mankind the test of the person is: Can it be given freely to those who will most benefit? It's not hard to see that Hubbard fails this test.

Bullies are bullies, rich or poor, red-haired or not

My brother the Scientologist used to throw water in his toddler daughter's face when she cried--maybe he got that from that bulletin?

He was always on the look out, I'm sure, for the cruelist policies, the ways to be the most ass-backwards kind of human being, and especially the stuff that justified his own sociopathology.

He probably fancies himself a Freezoner now--part of the new pure master race.

Not sure how I missed this thread, but I did. I only got part way thru the first transcript. Couldn't read anymore. It must be how they are training auditors on Golden Age of Tech. I got worse with my last auditing. And I really got the impression that the org could care less.

This is just appalling. :grouch: And totally pisses me off! :angry:

This Hubbard-tulpa thing had neither good or bad intentions. All of its spewings were just conjured input.

You seem to have an infatuation with the word "Tulpa". Are you implying that Hubbard was a manifestation of his own deluded imagination?

If you have trouble with "tulpa", try "apparition" or "conjured thought form".

Hubbard was not a spiritual being. He was but a conjured tulpa by some 2,500 beings in the lower psychic darkness.

COMES NOW the plaintiff and for cause of action against
defendants alleges and says:

I

That in the early part of 1946, plaintiff, then age 21
and unmarried, resided with her family in Pasadena, and a
the University of Southern California, that at said time,
defendant L. Ron Hubbard, hereinafter referred to as "Hubbard",
was a married man, age 35, he being then married to Margaret Grubb

- 1 -





Hubbard of Bremerton, Washington, they having two children; that
said Hubbard represented to plaintiff that he was single and un-
married, and plaintiff relying upon said representation, and hav-
ing fallen in love, entered into a marriage ceremony with said
Hubbard on the 10th day of August, 1946, at Chestertown, Maryland
that said Hubbard thereafter secured a divorce from said Margaret
Grubb Hubbard on or about the 24th day of December, 1947, at
Port Orchard, Washington; that plaintiff and said Hubbard ever
since the said 10th day of August, 1946, have lived together as
husband and wife, and on the 8th day of March, 1950, had a child
born to them, Alexis Valorie [sic] Hubbard, at Point Pleasant, New
Jersey; that the parties have always considered themselves
husband and wife in their travels about the nation; that at all
times herein mentioned, said Hubbard has represented to plaintiff
that they were legally married, and plaintiff relied upon such
representations; that by reason thereof, plaintiff alleges herein.
that plaintiff and said Hubbard are husband and wife; that in
the event it should be held that the parties are not legally
married, plaintiff will seek the damages prayed for herein for
fraud and deceit on the part of said Hubbard, in entrapping
plaintiff into the matrimonial predicament that she now finds
herself in.

II

That plaintiff was born in Pasadena, California on the
8th day of April, 1925, and grew up and was educated in the State
of California; that plaintiff does now and always has considered
California to be her home state, and plaintiff and said Hubbard
have maintained their residence in California from time to time
since said marriage in between their travels about the United
States and at all times have had their furniture in the State of
California, and have considered California to be their permanent
residence; that by reason thereof, plaintiff is now and for more

- 2 -





than one year immediately preceding the commencement of this
action, has been a resident of the State of California; that
plaintiff has been a resident of the County of Los Angeles for
more than three months, immediately preceding the commencement
of this action.

III

Statistical facts required by section 426a of the Civil
Code of Procedure are:

(1) Place of marriage; Chestertown, Maryland;

(2) Date of marriage; On the 10th day of August
1946;

(3) Date of separation; On or about the 24th day of
February 1951;

(4) Time elapsing between the date of marriage and
the date of separation; Approximately four years, six months
and twelve days; and

(5) There is one child of the marriage; Alexis
Valorie Hubbard, age 13 months.

IV

That there is community property of the plaintiff and
said Hubbard consisting of a community interest in the Hubbard
Dianetic Research Foundation, with its headquarters in Elizabeth.
New Jersey, and which operates a school and clinic in Chicago,
Illinois, New York City, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Wichita, Kansas,
and elsewhere; that said Hubbard and said foundation did over
one million dollars in business during the year 1950, and owns
valuable community property and assets; that said foundation
operates in the State of California, under the name of "The
Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation of California, Inc., a
California corporation", defendant herein; that said corporation.
is the alter ego of said Hubbard.

- 3 -





That said separation took place by reason of the extreme
cruelty practiced upon the plaintiff by the said Hubbard, which
has caused the plaintiff great mental anguish and physical suffer-
ing during the past five years of the married life of the parties,
consisting in part as follows;

(a) That during the marriage up until the month of
October, 1950, said Hubbard, an "older man" completely dominated
the youthful plaintiff, both physically, mentally and emotionally
and taking advantage of her trusting love and desire for a success-
ful marriage, repeatedly subjected plaintiff to systematic torture,
including loss of sleep, beatings, and strangulations and scientific
torture experiments, including the following:

(b) That in the latter part of September, 1950, said
Hubbard told plaintiff at the Chateau Marmont Apartments in
Hollywood, that "I do not want to be an American husband for I
can buy my friends whenever I want them", and he further said
that he, Hubbard, did not want to be married, yet divorce was
impossible, for a divorce would hurt his reputation, and that
she, plaintiff, should kill herself if she really loved him.


(c) That at said time and place, said Hubbard systemati-
cally prevented plaintiff from sleeping continuously for a period
of over four days, and then in her agony, furnished her with a
supply of sleeping pills, all resulting in a nearness to the
shadow of death. That the foregoing was a frequent occurence [sic]
during the married life of the parties.

(d) That at said time and place, plaintiff became numb
and lost consciousness, and was thereafter taken by said Hubbard to
the Hollywood Leland Hospital, where she was kept under a vigilant
guard from friend and family under an assumed name, for five
days.

(e) That shortly following Christmas, 1950, said Hubbard

- 4 -





violently strangled plaintiff and sadistically ruptured the
eustachian tube of her left ear, resulting in the impairment of
her hearing. That such strangulation of plaintiff was a frequent
practice on the part of said Hubbard.

(f) That in January, 1951, at Palm Springs, while
plaintiff was getting out of an automobile operated by said Hubbard
he intentionally started the said car in gear, thus propelling
plaintiff to the pavement resulting in serious personal injury.

(g) That plaintiff and her medical advisors, following
the foregoing incidents, concluded that said Hubbard was hopelessly
insane, and crazy, and that there was no present hope for said
Hubbard, or any reason for her to indure [sic] further; that competent
medical advisors recommended that said Hubbard be committed to
a private sanitarium for psychiatric observation and treatment
of a mental ailment known as paranoid schizophrenia; that
plaintiff, on the 23rd day of February, 1951, caused the national
executive officer of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, to be advised of said preliminary diagnosis
and urgent need for treatment; that said national officer immedi-
ately advised said Hubbard of said diagnosis.


(h) That at 11;00 o'clock P.M., on said 23rd day of
February, 1951, said Hubbard, together with defendant Frank B.
Dessler, head of the Los Angeles Dianetic Foundation, abducted the
infant child of the parties, Alexis from her crib, and deposited
said infant in West Los Angeles with defendant Vince Mc Gonigle
under the assumed name of Anne Marie Olson, and concealed said
infant from plaintiff until this day. That this was admitted by
said Dessler in the habeas corpus proceedings filed on the 10th
day of April, 1951 entitled In re Alexis Valorie Hubbard, Los
Angeles Superior Court Number H.C. 35879.

(i) That said Hubbard, Dessler and defendant Richard B.
De Mille, having secreted said infant child, feloniously dragged

- 5 -





plaintiff out of her bed attired only in her night gown, it then being
1;00 o'clock A.M., of the morning of the 24th day of February, 1951,
and by the use of threats, strangulation, torture, and false promises
to return her child to her, carried and kidnapped plaintiff to Yuma,
Arizona, all as is detailed at length in the habeas corpus
proceeding above mentioned.

(j) That plaintiff has ever since sought the
whereabouts of her infant child, and has consulted attorneys, police,
sheriffs, Federal Bureau Of Investigation agents, and courts, and has
brought said habeas corpus proceedings; that said Hubbard and his
attorneys refuse any information as to the whereabouts of her infant
child, unless she goes back to live with said Hubbard, an alternative
that means certain continued torture and possible death, a predicament
no good woman, wife and mother should have to face.

(k) That through all her trials and tribulations, and up
until the month of February, 1951, plaintiff bore her suffering and
sorrows in silence and even now would not bare the truth to the
world, except for the compelling advice of her attorney, Caryl
Warner, that she tell the truth for the truth will make her free, and
the truth alone, will bring back her baby, if alive.

(l) That by reason of the foregoing crazy misconduct
of said Hubbard, plaintiff is in hourly fear of both the life of
herself and of her infant daughter, who she has not seen for two
months.

That all of said acts on the part of said Hubbard towards
the plaintiff have been without cause or justification, and without
the consent of the plaintiff, and have caused her great mental anguish
and horrible physical suffering.

VI

That the custody of said infant child Alexis should be
awarded to plaintiff, without reservation or condition; that the Court
should order and compel said Hubbard to submit to legitimate

- 6 -





psychiatric examination in the interests of tile welfare and safety
of said minor child, who is secreted by Hubbard someplace in North
America.

VII

That said Hubbard is an able-bodied man, and is well able
to support and provide for plaintiff and their child; that by
reason thereof, said Hubbard should be ordered to pay to plaintiff
reasonable support for plaintiff and said infant child during the
pendency of this action, and thereafter pay permanent alimony and
child support; that in addition thereto, said Hubbard should be
ordered to pay a reasonable sum as and for attorney's fees and
costs of suit; that a lien should be impressed upon the real
property hereinafter described to secure payment of the sums allow-
ed herein.

VIII

That said Hubbard has harrassed [sic], injured and kidnapped
plaintiff as alleged herein, and has threatened to kill plaintiff;
that plaintiff is informed and believes, and upon such information
and belief alleges that said Hubbard, unless restrained from so
doing, will carry out his said threats, and will again injure and
molest plaintiff; that by reason thereof, the Court should restrain
said Hubbard from molesting or injuring plaintiff during the pendency
of this hearing of this cause, and upon the trial of this action,
the Court should permanently enjoin said Hubbard from committing any
of said acts in regard to plaintiff.

IX

That said Hubbard departed from the State of California
on the 24th day of February, 1951, and ever since has remained out-
side of California, for the purpose of evading the process of the
Court, and for the purpose of attempting to deprive plaintiff of
her marital rights herein; that said absence from the State on the
part of said Hubbard was and is for the purpose of resisting

- 7 -





plaintiff's efforts to enforce her said rights against said defendant
for support and maintenance for herself and her child and to obtain an
equitable division of the community property of the parties; that said
Hubbard has repeatedly threatened that he would stay out of
California so as to make it impossible for her to get any money or
support from him and to prevent her from sharing in the community
property of the parties, and said Hubbard has stated that he would
do everything in his power to deprive plaintiff. of all of her said
marital rights; that plaintiff is informed and believes, and upon
such information and belief, alleges that pursuant to said threats,
said Hubbard has concealed various community assets, and has placed
said assets in the name of Hubbard Dianetics Research Foundation, and
in the names of the other defendants named herein, and in the names of
other persons unknown to the plaintiff that said Hubbard will continue
to further hide and conceal said community property assets from
plaintiff unless prevented from doing so by the appointment of a
receiver herein; that by reason of the said acts of said Hubbard,
plaintiff has been compelled to exhaust her own personal estates and
to draw upon her family for support; that by reason thereof, plaintiff
is without adequate funds for her own support or the support of her
child, or to prosecute this action; that all of the acts heretofore
set forth on the part of said Hubbard were perpetrated intentionally
and willfully and for the express purpose of defrauding plaintiff of
her said marital rights, and to unjustly and fraudulently deprive
plaintiff of any and all of her rights whatsoever, and to render her
helpless and subject to his complete and arbitrary will and
domination.

X

That said receiver should be empowered to take over,
operate, and sell the defendant Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation
of California, Inc., property at 2300 South Hoover Street, Los

- 8 -





Angeles, California, and more particularly described as;
Lot 6 of Belgravia Tract, in the City of
Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, State
of California, 8S per map in Book 23,
Page 54 of Miscellaneous Records of said
County, and a portion of Lot 3, Block 22,
of Hancock's Survey in said City and
County of Los Angeles, as per map recorded
in Book 2, page 108 of Miscellaneous
Records of said county;
that said receiver should be allowed to pay to plaintiff such sums
as the Court may allow for the support of plaintiff and the minor
child, and for her attorney's fees and costs incurred herein; that
plaintiff has no plain, speedy or adequate remedy at law other
then the appointment Of a receiver, for the reasons set forth
herein.

XI

That the true names or capacities, whether individual
corporate, associate or otherwise, of defendants Doe One through
Doe Tens inclusive, are unknown to plaintiffs who there ore sues
said defendants by such fictitious names, and will as, leave to
amend this complaint to show their true names and capacities when
same have been ascertained.

AND FOR A SECOND, SEPARATE AND FURTHER
CAUSE OF ACTION, plaintiff alleges and says;

I

Plaintiff refers to Paragraphs I, II, III, IV, V, VI,
and VII of her First Cause of Action and by reference makes them a
part hereof.

II

That plaintiff believes herself to be the lawfully
wedded wife of said defendant L. Ron Hubbard, in that she entered

- 9 -





into said marriage in good faith, all as is alleged herein; that in
the event the Court should find that she is not legally married to
said defendant, plaintiff in such an event alleges that said
marriage should be annuled [sic], and that she be awarded damages as
hereinafter set forth; that said defendant wilfully [sic] and
intentionally caused plaintiff to believe that she was his lawfully
wedded wife, and if she in fact is not, said Hubbard in such an
event should be ordered to pay the damages prayed for herein.

III

That plaintiff, believing that she was the lawfully wedded
wife of said Hubbard, over a period of five years, devoted her life to
said Hubbard, and served as wife, mother, housekeeper, author's
assistant, and pursuant thereto, washed dishes, cleared floors,
scrubbed the floors and walls, cooked and served meals for said
Hubbard, bore him a child, [loaned him over $20,000 - crossed out], and
otherwise subjected herself to the course of cruelty alleged
herein; that by reason thereof, the chances of plaintiff for
happiness in life, and chances for a normal marriage have been
diminished, and plaintiff has been prevented from following a
profession of her choice, and has been so deprived of the "golden
years of a woman's life", and by reason thereof, she has been
damaged in the sum of $100,000.00 a year, making a total of
$500,000.00 in all, if in fact it be found that she is not the
lawfully wedded wife of said Hubbard, and has been subjected to
the shame of a bigamous marriage.

IV

That in the event it be found that plaintiff is not the
lawfully wedded wife of said Hubbard, plaintiff should be accorded
the right of a putative wife, and by reason thereof, should be
allowed the same community property rights and interests in and
to the property acquired by the plaintiff and the said Hubbard,
following said ceremonial marriage on the 10th day of August,

- 10 -





1946, all as is prayed for herein.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays judgment against defendant,
L. Ron Hubbard, as follows;

(1) For a Judgment of divorce from said defendant,
that the bonds of matrimony heretofore and now existing between
said parties be dissolved;

(2) That the custody of the minor child of the

Yes, I seem to recall reading something like this, or hearing on a tape and it was in the context of don't. But then when I look at the results of Scientology ....

Hubbard told Scientologists what he was going to do to them, and in some instances what he was doing to them at that very moment, but disguised it as something that someone else (usually the bad guys) might do. This is close to the ultimate in "nothing-up-my-sleeve-ism" and the ultimate recreational cruelty for a sadistic practical joker: Explain the joke first, then watch as the person - who has complete confidence that the teller (Hubbard in this case) would never do such a thing - walk right into it and fall prey to (using some of Hubbard's favorite behind-the-scenes words) the gimmick, ploy, trick, caper, angle, etc.

Two footnotes re. above:

http://www.forum.exscn.net/showpost.php?p=297586&postcount=129

While the date for Hubbard applying "enemy tactics" and "aberrative methods" to his own own loyal followers is sometimes 1965 - which was, undoubtedly, a major "shift" date in Scientology - it does appear, IMO, that Hubbard had this approach from the earliest days.

Seems like a good place to leave this.

But it didn't end there. Next came the "retraction" - written by Hubbard and signed by Sara (under duress - see 1986 interview in 'The Kidnapping' chapter of 'Messiah or Madman?': "I thought by doing so he would leave me and Alexis alone. It was horrible. I just wanted to be free of him!") And this was to be the first in what would be a long series of coerced retractions, from many people, over decades - a Scientology tradition. (Also, an excerpt from one of Hubbard's many bizarre 1950s letters to the FBI, a long series of letters that finally earned him the classification "Appears mental."):

http://www.spaink.net/cos/LRH-bio/sara_bg.htm

Then, in 1969, came Hubbard (see page two under 'Covert Operations') describing Sara as a Russian spy:

http://www.lisamcpherson.org/scans/GO_intel_actions_1969.pdf

Then, in 1972, came Hubbard sending someone to "handle" his daughter Alexis (at her college):

Erh.. So Hubbards 2'nd wife, who didn't exist.. And who was really a russian spy named Komkosadamanov, or Komkovadamanov..

Must be a very rare name anyway.. A search on the net reveals only Hubbards mention, or references to, of the name... Could it be that noone in the intire world ever had that name?

I'm pretty sure that the context was along the lines of DON'T do this.
Yes, I seem to recall reading something like this, or hearing on a tape and it was in the context of don't. But then when I look at the results of Scientology ....
You may have missed this later response from me in this thread;
I'm no Hubbard fanboy but believe that it speaks more to his nature.

It seems to me that he absolutely loved to create a certain effect on his audience. He loved it when they gasped, oohed, aahed, cringed, tingled, were electrifed, and enthralled by his knowledge and surety.

He sometimes seemed to enjoy experiencing others in fear and liked to project an apparency of being capable of anything.

Most of all, he loved it when they applauded.
I'm not a Hubbard apologist, I was just pointing out the actual context of the material quoted in the OP. I think it behooves us to keep things straight on this stuff, misinterpretation makes for easy refutation.

I think of Hubbard as having had both good and bad intentions towards scientologists and mankind as a whole. I think he was quite a study in schizo behaviour. It is perfectly obvious from what scientology became that the bad intentions won out early in the piece.

Wow, Veda

Through 1956, Hubbard occasionally discussed "brainwashing" in his lectures. Some Scientologists were still asking him about his fraudulent "Russian textbook on Brainwashing" from some months earlier, and he blew a lot of smoke to add to the verbiage on the topic - from every possible angle - and the result was a collection of rambling dissertations, such as the one presented in this thread.

At the time, Hubbard wanted his "Russian textbook" to fade into the woodwork. It was a clumsily done piece of black propaganda against psychiatry and - per his own confidential "tech" on black propaganda - the actual source of black propaganda is to remain hidden, yet Hubbard's writing style showed through his attempt at mimicking an arrogant Russian advocating "brainwashing," and, as a result, his "suitable guise"-cover was close to being "blown."

So there are these rambling lectures from 1956.

Around 1958 (through the efforts of another con man named Kenneth Goff) Hubbard's fraudulent "Russian textbook" was mentioned in the USA 'Congressional Record' as being a possible Russian document. It was soon to be discredited, but nonetheless was mentioned, and thus, was IN the 'Congressional Record' and, presto, had become an instant "factual fact" - that is by Hubbardian standards of "creating facts." When Hubbard received word that his fraudulent "Russian Textbook" had been mentioned in the 'Congressional Record', he ordered an additional printing of the "Russian Textbook" (manual), which would be followed years later by two more printings.

These post 1955 "Russian Textbook"/pre-1958 'Congressional Record' lectures are part hot air and prevarication; part nervous laughter, as one might expect when someone is attempting to mislead (even when that someone is a master of TR-L such as Hubbard); and part occasional mentions of actual psychological methods, both positive and negative, and if one keeps a list of the negative they'll usually be found to have been incorporated into Scientology "Tech," itself, in some fashion.

The "Tech" is composed of "both sides," positive and negative.

That "both sides" were used on them by their guru, and are used on them through the subject of Scientology is, unfortunately, beyond their grasp or they wouldn't be Scientologists anymore.

Scientology is not "White Scientology"; it's a combination of "White Scientology" and "Black Scientology." (It takes both solvent and lacquer to make glue.)

As for the "Russian Brainwashing Manual," it's a testimony not only to Hubbard's willingness to lie to Scientologists, but - in the years to come - to his willingness to use "black Scientology," not only on "enemy" outsiders, but on loyal Scientologists. He even made it part of the "Tech" so Scientologists could (unknowingly, for the most part) use it on each other.

Good post, what i get from it, is a pattern you see in hubbard lectures where he talks about everything, but never really delivers, he make claims that arent true, and put himself in position of power that he didnt really have, getting things like



That what he intended with all his books, lectures and stuff, that people think that he have the answers, the power, the knowledge and what i see in this, that he can be bad, if he want to (he wants you to know this).

Thats where his true power lays, not in what he tells, but the hidden meaning he dont tell, that he is the one who knows, that you must listen to him and apply the tech how he tell you to do it, even when you use it in a bad way, you better use it the bad way he tells, cuz we in scientology know this bad things, you know, we can brainwash, so behave, is not that we are bad but, we can be flexible.

Is like a master killer teching his pupil how to kill, but saying, you know i use to peel the skin of the people who mess with me, you know, i just know how to keep them alive there, while they have no skin, and they scream all this kinds of things to you, you know, that was back in the day i use to be that way, you know... Oh yeah the gun, use it this way...

Hes not teaching how to do that, he just telling he knows how to

Yeah, creating an atmosphere of fear, and he is the only 'safety zone' - Come and be my dogs, and as long as you don't bite, and obey my commands, I won't beat you - or put you in a bag and drown you.

:nervous: yewwwwwwww !

and inside or out

My brother the Scientologist used to throw water in his toddler daughter's face when she cried--maybe he got that from that bulletin?

He was always on the look out, I'm sure, for the cruelist policies, the ways to be the most ass-backwards kind of human being, and especially the stuff that justified his own sociopathology.

He probably fancies himself a Freezoner now--part of the new pure master race.

Yeah, and inside or out. I know people like your bro - who have never even heard of scn.
