L.
RON HUBBARD, MESSIAH OR MADMAN?
By Bent Corydon
The book that survived every attempt to
suppress its publication! Scientology
has much to hide, but attempting to expose
its dirty secrets can be dangerous. Most
of those with first-hand knowledge of
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology
cult, have been silenced, but Corydon
conducted extensive interviews with many
of them before they were pressured into
silence. In this shocking biography, it
is revealed that Hubbard was an opium-addicted
bigamist who attracted innocents (and
their money) to his "religion" in which
he is the only God. It reads like fiction.
Unfortunately, it's fact.
