Definitely Evil.

As we discussed on another thread.... Katie was worried about the Sea Org..

Of course, Suri would not be put in a chain locker as a celebrity kid...unlike the poor little 5 year old deaf mute who couldn’t write her name and was ordered into until she wrote her name.

“He witnessed the imprisonment of a terrified 4-year-old in the Sea Org’s dark, filthy, rat- infested chain locker for the “Ethics offense” of chewing one of Hubbard’s papers. Such imprisonment became a common form of staff punishment. “Overboarding” was instituted, with “out-ethics” staff being forcibly thrown into the ocean. McMaster was overboarded several times, the last time being left struggling in the water with a broken collarbone for 3 hours. According to McMaster, in some orgs with no chain locker or overboarding facilities, the offender’s head is shoved into a toilet bowl, which is then flushed. “

I resemble that lengthy remark! :)

Except for the following: (and you can quote me)

” Marcus would be equally appalled by good men doing the very same thing, over and over, and expecting different results. “ —RitaOK

I say there, again, it took you 96 percenters complying with this Republican manipulation of your desperation and fear, election after election, to bring us to this state. The sky would surely fall if you resisted.

We may be late, but it’s past time to buck the bridle off my friend.

I just finished reviewing Hubbard's military records (long story short, John Kerry had nothing on Captain Ron when it came to claiming extra credit), following up on a review of some related FBI files I researched some years ago. If I may add an important tidbit to your list on Hubbard and one Jack Parsons, whose infamous mentor Hubbard emulated in his early career (something Hubbard took pains to conceal from about 1952 on, but spoke of often before that):

Parsons saw no contradiction between his scientific and magical pursuits. Before each rocket test launch, Parsons would chant Crowley's hymn to the Greek god Pan.[6] In 1942 Parsons was chosen by Aleister Crowley to lead Agapé Lodge of OTO in California following Crowley's expulsion of Wilfred Smith from the position.[7]

Sara Northrup (aka "Sarah Elizabeth" or "Betty" Northrup), began living with Parsons and Parsons' wife, Sara's half-sister Helen Northrup; later, Parsons and Sara became involved in an affair, which caused strife with Helen and eventually led to Helen leaving with Wilfred Smith.

Parsons' 11-room home, nicknamed "The Parsonage", became a boarding house for a variety of artists and eccentrics, including journalist Nieson Himmel, physicist Robert Cornog, and author and future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard became involved with Parsons' mistress Sara Northrup and they would later marry.

Parsons, a science fiction fan, had read in the fantasy pulp magazine Unknown the 1940 original shorter version of Jack Williamson "Darker Than You Think". Parsons had identified the redheaded female love interest of the protagonist with Babalon or the "Scarlet Woman", who Crowley had prophesied would help to fulfill the Aeon of Horus and announce to the world the end of the Aeon of Osiris represented by Christianity and other patriarchal religions and social institutions. In 1946, Parsons and Hubbard (whose works Fear and Typewriter in the Sky, among others, had actually appeared in Unknown) participated in a work of ceremonial magic known as the Babalon Working. In simple terms, the Babalon Working was a ritual to summon this Scarlet Woman. Paul Rydeen writes:

The purpose of Parson's [sic] operation has been underemphasized. He sought to produce a magickal child who would be a product of her environment rather than of her heredity. Crowley himself describes the Moonchild in just these terms. The Babalon Working itself was preparation for what was to come: a Thelemic messiah.[8]

Crowley, who lived in England at this time and had little say over the matter, disagreed strenuously. Though he had never met him, Crowley had no love for Hubbard and considered him a con artist with plans to abscond with Parsons' money and current girlfriend.

. . .to quote one con artist's expert assessment of another.

For more info on this, I'd start with Bent Corydon's Hubbard biography.

Ah yes, I remember you. Always defending the cult.
Suri looks more like Tommy Davis than Tom Cruise

Thanks. The Scientologists are no doubt pleased by your work! Broad the way that leads to destruction, but may the deceived followers of these sons of darkness find the Light, as per my tag.

Yeah. You obviously know a lot about me. /sarcasm>

But, with the mess this country is in, it's good to know that people like you are vigilant behind your keyboard doing everything you can to be a duped and ineffectual "voice of the people."
