I may have posted this before but lately I've been getting a lot of requests from people to "explain $cientology", as if such a thing was possible without getting your
thetans all riled up.
Here is an interview with L. Ron Hubbard, Jr., from 1983 that you might find enlightening. There's a lot about Hubbard's occult activities there.
And
here is an article that posits a link between the "church" and the CIA, which makes a lot of sense when you consider how powerful Hubbard's intelligence gathering capabilities were (are).
And if you have the time I highly recommend the book
A Piece of Blue Sky, which pretty much blows Hubbard's bullshit right back to Xenu.
And I guess while you're at it you should probably read
Bare-Faced Messiah, another fine expose of Hubbard machinations and deceits.
Now you know more than Tom Cruise. Much of this is via
Operation Clambake, which is very informative, and the
Rigorous Intuition Discussion Board, which is a hell of a lot of fun.
