Our researcher who helps us with early Scientology history really hit on a gem for us this time.

It’s a letter that L. Ron Hubbard sent 75 years ago this week, and it contains some of the most frank talk we’ve seen from Hubbard about how he planned to make millions from Dianetics, which a year later he would reorganize as Scientology.

With the help of our researcher we’ve been tracing the crazy year of 1951 when Hubbard’s early success with Dianetics started to go south. Convinced that his second wife, Sara Northrup, was going to have him committed, Hubbard hatched a plan to hide their infant from her, kidnap Sara with the help of a goon named Frank Dessler, and try to get Sara declared insane.

[Frank Dessler]
That plot fell apart when they got to Yuma, Arizona, and Hubbard released Sara to go back to Los Angeles. Hubbard and his assistant, Richard deMille, then went on to Elizabeth, New Jersey, where the original Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation was located. Hubbard had the baby, Alexis, brought to him from Los Angeles with the help of another couple.

Hubbard and deMille then absconded to Havana with the baby. But before he left, we saw last time that he tried to turn in Sara and her boyfriend, Miles Hollister, to the FBI, claiming they were Communists.

That didn’t go anywhere, but on March 27, 1951, Hubbard wrote a letter to Dessler from Cuba with more instructions about what to do in Los Angeles while Hubbard and deMille were away.

I think Ron was afraid of what Sara could say about him. She always refused to talk about their early life after she first left Parsons. She would state no interviews would happen at all if questioned about this time.. She referred to things being disgusting. I think she saw Hubbard get his freak on. She was just past her teenage years. I wonder if Sara witnessed satanic rituals where there was sodomy.

Listening to some of the tapes from 51 and 52, you hear Ron going on about very abstract ideas. Sara could easily have made him look stranger than he could her. He had to be hopped up on benzedrine or something with all the traveling and dancing on hot coals.
I wonder if he ever considered Alexis to be sort of his moon child.

Yeah, all Sara would have needed to do to debunk Hubbard would have been to talk about their Parsons/Crowley "magick" activities, and would gave blown the pseudo "engineering logic" Dianetics smokescreen out of the water. But then you add to that open discussion of his unstable relationship exploits and pharmacological diet, and then what's left to see is a person in need of therapy and not so much a master of therapy.
