Scientology's®
Claims
From: Public Relations (publicrelations@scientology.org)
Contrary to what occurs with most men whose powers decline in their
waning years, L. Ron Hubbard's final years were rich in creativity and
production. Here is just a sampling of what he accomplished:
* He wrote Battlefield Earth, a New York Times and international
bestseller. He actually exceeded his rate of production from the
1930s during the writing of this book.
* He wrote the 10 volume Mission Earth series -- 2 million words in
all. Every one of those books was also a New York Times and
international bestseller.
* He wrote the non-religious moral code, "The Way to Happiness".
* He wrote scripts for two major motion pictures for Hollywood.
* He composed three music albums, one of them certified gold.
* And, he continued his Scientology research, writing dozens of
religious works and even scripted 10 instructional films.
Now, I ask anyone reading this posting -- if you wrote all of that in
a period of a few years and if the works achieved a similar record of
success, would you describe yourself as waning or over the hill?

And now for the truth
Hell, I hardly know where to begin. Hubbard's pulp science fiction
writings were certainly nothing to brag about and, given John Travolta's
amusing fiasco in creating the embarrassing "Battlefield Earth"
movie, one would think that the organization would not want to mention
any of it.
Some of these claims are amazing fabrications which the criminal
enterprise has been trying to sell people for decades. While anyone can
"write scripts for motion pictures for Hollywood," the fact is
that Hubbard never sold any such scripts to anyone for actual
movie making. Hubbard liked to fancy himself a great motion picture
director and filmer yet his megalomania and other
mental problems are well known.
But what didn't the official spokesperson mention about L. Ron Hubbard?
Any comprehensive list of facts about Scientology's mad messiah L. Ron
Hubbard which Scientology finds too embarrassing to mention would take
up considerable time, space, and effort to compile and perhaps it's not
really needed given the advent of the Internet which makes researching
the true history of L. Ron Hubbard easy.
But to make a case in point, if at all possible try to find a copy of
L. Ron Hubbard's amazingly bizarre writing called "A History of
Man" which is subtitled, "A cold-blooded and factual account
of your last sixty trillion years." Try to find a version which
hasn't been heavily altered by the current crop of criminals running
the scam these days. Much of what Hubbard wrote has been reworked by
the Scientology organization to remove some of the massive embarrassments
a great many of which are in "A History of Man." In a Fair
Use extract, we find such Hubbard wisdom as the following:
All of Hubbard's writings consists of these types of disjointed, idiotic,
often amusing claims, every one of which followers are told to believe
completely. Scientology's spokesperson's comment about Hubbard's
writings being "rich in creativity" is something of an under
statement.

"There was or is a spore method of procreation used by the clam.
The spore was put on the inside of the lip and permitted to grow.
Eventually it became large enough to become a clam on its own and
would depart. There is a guardian-emotion on the part of the clam for
these spores and a sadness on their departure. But there is more to
the spore than this. The spore was like a barnacle. When the clam was
cast ashore, these spores were still alive in the shell. The sun would
kill the inner cells of the "barnacle" while the outer shell
cells still lived. The dead inner cells would form a gas which, under
the heat, would explode violently, to the agony of the living barnacle
shell cells. This bursting was sudden and painful. These spores gave
incidents which permitted the human teeth to have a pattern. The ancient
bursting engrams are still dramatized by the teeth which, under stress,
burst or feel like bursting. Running out some of these bursting
incidents will take the ache out of a tooth rapidly."
