..L. Ron Hubbard- An Introduction to Scientology
(1966)
perfect summary of Hubbard's rhetoric...
I had not seen that filmed interview in years. I think any more often than once-a-decade would result in an overdose.
I watched the first 10 minutes of it to see if I had any new perspectives, and had this takeaway:
-- Hubbard was a gifted salesman-- Hubbard also used his well-honed creative writing skills to tell a compelling narrative.-- Hubbard had a flair for the theatrical, often effective but not without cringey overacting. Example at 2:52 where he tells his prepared joke about studying 22 primitive races....."including the white race". Then he erupts with a cloyingly over-rehearsed, too-cute self-adoring grin.
-- Perhaps Hubbards greatest skill is his unerring certainty---which one much later discovers is not only a characteristic found in masters of their craft---it is also commonplace in those who make their living thru deception and fraud. He was a professional con man with gimmick refinements and tweaks that would have won a gold or silver medal in the lying Olympics.-- His sales patter essentially consists of an endless stream of imagination-stirring PROMISES that delicately straddle the line between reality and delusion. He knows how to tease that line with continuous improvisational tweaks as he reads his audience's credulity index.-- As always, while watching Hubbard perform his hoax, I began to wonder to what degree he believed it or even cared if any of it was true. I tend to think that he was narcissistic enough to 1) PROMISE ANYTHING; 2) TAKE THE MONEY and lastly, 3). THEN GO ABOUT THE TASK OF TRYING TO DELIVER WHAT HE PROMISED. His audio lecture on the 5 conditions, in fact, revealed that to be his exact modus operandi! In that lecture he spoke of a hypothetical use of the emergency formula if he was running an "egg company". It's a remarkable view of how he would handle a crisis where there were NO EGGS to sell to his customers. He then proceeds to make up some complete bullshit about how "brown eggs" are better than what the customer ordered ("white eggs") and tricks them into thinking they are getting a priceless value for so little money---exactly how Hubbard conned a billion dollars from his Clear/OT marks.
FREE BONUS SHILL-TECH STORY: Finally, and this may not be as interesting as a quick study in Hubbard's treachery, but i find it fascinating. The interviewer, Tony Hitchman, a Scientology celebrity in his own right! When I was active in Scientology, I met him on a few occasions and always found him to be exactly what he was in that filmed interview. An arrogantly insufferable elitist shill. I won't bother to retell his obnoxious behavior towards others including myself on one social occasion, but you can draw your own conclusions about him by recalling that decades after that Hubbard shill-fest, Hitchman was shilling for another con man bilking hundreds of millions of dollars from Scientologists. Hitchman was the right hand to Reid Slatkin and conned the living hell out of countless people. I am very familiar with one incident where an older Scientologist went to Slatkin to beg for their very small life-savings to be returned as promised (this happened well before the Ponzi game exploded) and sitting in that meeting was Tony Hitchman doing his very best to "shatter" and "introvert" and "spin in" the innocent victim, saying things like "I PERCEIVE A LOT OF EVIL COMING FROM YOUR SPACE!" (that lovely fair game thuggery as he effetely waived an aristocratically condescending hand in their direction)
CONCLUSION: As always, what a bunch of incorrigibly degenerate con men! And what a psychopathic pretext, to pretend to be ascended spiritual masters on earth to save everyone's soul---while robbing them blind. lol

If there is a Hell those c**** are going to rot there for all eternity!..

As they say, long-time reader, first-time poster.
Welcome to ESMB REDUX!!!!I should have introduced myself prior to posting my first post. Hi anti-$cientologists.
ThankyouWelcome to ESMB REDUX!!!!
Their body routing efforts have been dismal for donkey years and coercing El Con and Slappy's minions to partake in misdirecting busywork in Central Files, where there probably isn't even a Central Files In-charge, which means the post has to be held by the Dissemination Secretary from above, has no doubt been equally fruitless..

THE UNBEARABLE BRILLIANCE OF BODY ROUTING
AFTER DINNER MUSTER: Clipboard Connie (center) briefs
fellow Body Routing Ministers on the total number of bodies routed
into the Ideal Org for their previous 10 hour efforts that day.
CLIPBOARD CONNIE (center)
Okay, it's now 6pm so we only have another 6 hours to
make our target today. So far since 8am this morning
we have ZERO bodies routed into the shop!
WTF is going on with you downstat DBs?!
ROMINA ROUTER (left)
But sir, since the coronavirus quarantine, nobody
ain't allowed out of their homes. Sir, you
didn't route nobody neither.
CLIPBOARD CONNIE
Of course I didn't route anyone--I was chasing down
2 more members of our body-routing team unit that blew today!
I'm assigning both you down-stats a condition of Liability
and I need to know right now what bright idea you have
to reverse our totally crashed body-routing stats!
How about you Conrad, how are you going to
take responsibility and make it go right?
CONRAD COG (right)
Well sir, my bright idea is that we debrief people
who have really proven upstats on body routing
and then learn & follow their successful actions!
CLIPBOARD CONNIE
I'm listening---who exactly would that be?
CONRAD COG
Well sir, so far this month we only managed to
body route 2 people into the org. However, during
that same period, we lost 11 body routers who blew.
Therefore, sir, the super upstats are the WOGs we are
trying to get into our org--because they got over 500%
more of our OT bodies routed onto their DB lines

( I believed the lie Scientologists fed me about Hitchman)
CRINGE
I just found this post about Hitchman:
"Tony Hitchman was a Top FSM (Field Staff Member)
for the Church <Gack> of Scientology, Int. He was the last person (or maybe
the only person) to be on Film in his Interview with Hubbard.
Recently Reed Slatkin, Top Scientology "OT" was busted for "The biggest
Ponzi Scheme in History" ...having ripped off
$600 Million Dollars. See: www.SlatkinFraud.com for more info.
Apparently Reedie spilled the beans on Tony....and now Tony is out of the
country?
Is this for real? Does anyone know where Tony Hitchman actually is? Is he
still a Scientologist?
I doubt Reed is. He's spending the next 14 years in Prison, and even though
his "Church"/Scientology got a ton of that money in Donations, they totally
turned on him, and declared him an SP.
Ahhhh what a "Church".
Amazing to see such high ranking Scientologists gone soooo south.
What happened to their glorious "Ethics"? Reed and Tony were both on OT 7!
Do you ~~honestly~ believe it's just that they didn't have "The Golden Age
of Tech"?"
I know people "in" will think, "Well....that's just a few people".
Actually, there's more than meets the eye.

When I was active in Scientology believing and trusting everyone and everything, I was told this man, Tony Hitchman, was the only journalist that LRH trusted to do this one and only interview. I was told he was so impressed with L Ron Hubbard, he became a Scientologist. Jeannie Sonenfild was the "terminal" who told me that when I was in training with her back in the day. I hope she serves extra time in the HOLE for that lie. (My inside moles told me Mrs. Jeanie Sonenfild is in the HOLE for bankrupting her field in Kentucky for the Cincinnati Ideal Org. Her 2-D, David Sonenfild is dying of cancer and her son is also in the hole).
To find out he was shill makes perfect sense now. That is Scientology. Sneaky, unethical, lying, manipulative, deceitful and dishonest.
By the way, L Ron Hubbard's Teeth were BLACK during that interview that was implanted into my reactive, subconcious mind whilst in the cult.
Someone photo shopped that photo. Here is how his rotten, black mouth looked in the video I saw 1 million times:
