http://www.ronthepoet.org/p_jpg/thewar1.htm "Having entered the Second World War as a lieutenant (junior grade) in the United States Navy, L. Ron Hubbard spent the first months of 1942 as Senior Officer Present Ashore in Brisbane, Australia." ^^^^^^^^^ Lie "His duties included counter-intelligence and the organization of relief for beleaguered American forces on Bataan." Whopping huge lie. A new one I never heard of. "It was in this latter capacity that he eventually saw action on the island of Java, and only eluded capture through a daring escape on a raft." An even bigger lie. One I thought Scientology had abandoned in the early 60's "After fracturing an ankle in subsequent action," Lie. He never saw action. He once fell down a ladder aboard PC-815. "he was flown stateside (in the Secretary of the Navy?s plane no less) as the first American casualty returning from the Pacific Theater. " Two whopping lies. He was returned as unfit for his intelligence post and had the flu upon his return to Hawaii. he spent a few days in sick bay. "After a short recuperative stint at the New York Cable Censor Office, he took command of an antisubmarine escort vessel with Atlantic convoys. " Lie. He was briefly assigned to fitting the trawler Mist for coastal duty but never did duty on that ship, before losing that command. he performed no duties in the Atlantic. "Upon completion of seventy runs against enemy submarines," A new lie. Earlier lies were that he commanded a fleet of Corvettes. He in fact never sailed anything in the Atlantic, much less chasing subs in the Atlantic. " he received command of a submarine chaser in the Pacific, the sixty-man PC 815. It was aboard this vessel that he then engaged and destroyed two enemy submarines in action he would long regret:" He did in fact command PC-815, for about 80 days. One of the very few truths in this Scientology post. He did not destroy any submarines. he did waste 60 depth charges on a well marked magnetic deposit outside Washington State. Oh brother. Save this one before they remove it. Its been quite a while since I have seen this many Elron Hubbard lies in this small an official Scientology website article. -------------- Currently on line as of today. Dowmload this now before it disappears. Sleazy, grand, huge lies. http://www.ronthephilosopher.org/page82.htm Given all we have presented here reflects a personal philosophic conviction, let us also now present L. Ron Hubbard?s ?My Philosophy.? Dating from the spring of 1965, the work has been rightly described as the definitive LRH statement on his philosophic stance. Although no other explanation is necessary, the following may be of interest: In alluding to injuries suffered through the Second World War, he is referencing wounds sustained in combat on the island of Java and aboard a corvette in the North Atlantic. In noting his abandonment as of 1945, he is citing a sad and all too common fate of returning American soldiers, i.e., the reluctance of families, and wives in particular, to assume the burden of crippled veterans; hence the rash of postwar divorces. Finally, and lest it is not already obvious, all sentiments expressed here were life-long, and he did, indeed, continue ?writing and working and teaching so long as I exist.? ......... http://www.ronthephilosopher.org/Page84.htm I have seen life from the top down and the bottom up. I know how it looks both ways. And I know there is wisdom and that there is hope. Blinded with injured optic nerves, and lame with physical injuries to hip and back, at the end of World War II, I faced an almost nonexistent future. My service record states: ?This officer has no neurotic or psychotic tendencies of any kind whatsoever,? but it also states ?permanently disabled physically.? And so there came a further blow . . . I was abandoned by family and friends as a supposedly hopeless cripple and a probable burden upon them for the rest of my days. I yet worked my way back to fitness and strength in less than two years, using only what I know and could determine about man and his relationship to the universe. I had no one to help me; what I had to know I had to find out. And it?s quite a trick studying when you cannot see. I became used to being told it was all impossible, that there was no way, no hope. Yet I came to see again and walk again, and I built an entirely new life. It is a happy life, a busy one and I hope a useful one. My only moments of sadness are those which come when bigoted men tell others all is bad and there is no route anywhere, no hope anywhere, nothing but sadness and sameness and desolation, and that every effort to help others is false. I know it is not true. ...... http://www.ronthephilosopher.org/page74.htm The record bears him out. Among the several million pages of documentation eventually released from United States? government files are thousands of pages detailing attempts, both covert and overt, to appropriate Dianetics and Scientology for psychiatric offices within the American intelligence community. To what ends LRH discoveries were to be employed is not entirely clear, but the psychiatric obsession?the only word for it?is absolutely undisputable. Leafing through since declassified Central Intelligence Agency memoranda, for example, one repeatedly encounters suggestions of dark plans to first discredit and then appropriate the materials of Scientology. Likewise one encounters much in the way of attempted infiltration initiated by and on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, while illegally obtained copies of LRH lectures on The state of OT are still said to reside within National Security Agency vaults. ........... I have led an adventurous life and it would possibly be entertaining to read, but I doubt such a work would shed any background light on my researches and would not clarify my intentions or why I developed Dianetics and Scientology. My motives have not been fame. I tried to give Dianetics, the entire work, to the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association in 1949 and the AMA only said ?Why should you?? and the APA said ?If it is important we will hear of it.? ......... I wrote, I lived, I traveled, I prospered, I learned. I unfortunately could not quite help doing spectacular things. They would not look spectacular to me until I saw them in the eyes of others. And so I began to work very hard to tell the lesser tale, to do what I must to learn about man and help him as I could and yet not see wide-eyed disbelief, even shock, when someone at the Explorers Club would introduce me as having roped a Kodiak bear, having climbed a volcano to see its eruption at close hand or as the doer of some other feat. I became cautious in my anecdotes but I was looking at and living life, in order to experience it, and what happened to me was entirely secondary. .......... oes one condemn and fight each rumor or lie? I long ago realized I had not the time. But mainly I had not the inclination to stop man?s speech and punish him for being what he was and for thinking what he did. I learned early the folly of fighting the viciously inclined. I was once expelled from an island, as a boy, by a gloomy and brooding governor, on a charge of always being happy and smiling. There was no more story than that. So what does one do? Does one seek vengeance and death on men because they are ignorant, dull or intolerant? ........... http://www.ronthephilosopher.org/Page72.htm As much of Scientology is true for you as you know of it; those who know it only by name react to the hope of it. And as one advances upon the road, one knows more and more of it and is more and more free. Unlike so many promises made to man and which have made him fear disappointment, Scientology delivers. It may be over a rough road. It may be over a smooth one. But Scientology eventually delivers all it says it can. And that is what is new about it and why it grows. No other religion ever given man, delivered. They all waited until after the end for one to find his harp or his Nirvana. For the first time in all the ages there is something that within one lifetime delivers the answers to the eternal questions and delivers immortality as well. ............ In Scientology a Clear can walk his way to Operating Thetan, not in the decades demanded even by a temporary state in past ages, but within months or at most a year or so. And when he attains the state he is no longer subject to sudden and inexplicable collapses as occurred 2,500 years ago. One is able to attain and retain the desirable condition. Not the least of the qualities of OT is personal and knowing immortality and freedom from the cycle of birth and death. ........... Any comparison between Scientology and the subject known as psychology is nonsense. ..............
