The L Ron Hubbard Story part I

First part of a UK documentary biography of pulp writer, cult starter and general douchebag L Ron Hubbard. Includes fascinating interviews with ex-Scientology members, his literary agent Forry Ackerman and those who knew him best.
This is the true story of a man who claimed that if you want to make a lot of money, you should start a religion.
Enjoy.

There is so much proof and so many witnesses that this man was a liar and that this cult is a fraud and still people want to believe in that fraud and waste their money and life on it. Really tragic!

Worst guy ever.

@Chameleonardodavinci I think it's a big-mouthed bass.

Interesting how Hubbard's early life resembles Joseph Smith's, right down to being a treasure hunter.

Lord High Admiral Douchnozzle, sounds like he lived in a fantasy world all of his life. Probably became more untethered from reality the older he became. Pathological liar, pulp sci fi hack who was the ultimate scammster. Also paranoid, and a blackmailer too. Actually ordered people to break into the HQ of the IRS, imagine the gaul. Built the church based on a space opera, was just an old fashioned pyramid schemer. I wonder if he cured John Travolta and Tom Cruise of homosexuality?

@patphatcat You don't know much about logic for following such a ludicrous sub-centurian religion. However, I admire your cool-headedness. I don't mean to insult you, it's really just the most insulting thing to plague the human race, your pseudo-religion, I mean. Spend your money on something worthwhile, man.

@lauraleesmithagain The Scientology cross came from an old Spanish mission in California. I don't see any original ideas from you either.

[patphatcat]

This "documentary" is very misleading and doesn't shed any light on the truth.

@snowboard2382 She probably knew that you had no interest in Scientology and was only there to cause trouble. Why should she waste her time?

[patphatcat]

@Chameleonardodavinci You're funny. You don't know much about Scientology at all. "What is Scientology?" might be at your local bookstore.

@patphatcat Yeah, but Hitler believed in what he was doing, and had syphilis . L Ron Jeremy is a nothing less than a con man. Also, everything you believe in is a lie. How does it feel being part of the biggest scam of all time? Hitler was quite honest about what he was gonna do, and that's one step above that half-assed pulp fiction writer ever did. Not to mention that your leader looks like a fucking trout.

@Chameleonardodavinci Really? Hitler killed millions of people, wanted to kill all handicapped people, homosexuals, non-whites, all Communists, etc. He wanted to conquer all of Europe and in his diary stated that after he conquered Europe, he was conquering America because we accept blacks and Jews. The guy hated everyone. Hubbard discovered how mind works and used it to help people, put end to their grief and mental suffering, etc, and you want to hang out with the insane Hitler?
