What You Didn't Know About Scientology
"Various
Scientology hagiographies of Hubbard are widely divergent from known
facts. This is mainly due to the phantasmagoric history that Hubbard
fashioned for himself and repeated ad nauseum to his followers.
Hubbard
would often boast of a distinguished pedigree, claiming descent from
nobility going back to the Norman Invasion. He also claimed at various
times to have been a barn-stormer in a circus, a great white hunter in
Africa, an explorer of the upper Amazon and a heavily decorated naval
officer, the recipient of more than 2 dozen medals and palms. He also
claimed that his naval exploits were the inspiration for Henry Fonda’s
character in the film Mister Roberts. On the day the Japanese bombed
Pearl Harbor he stated that he was the only person to survive the
sinking of the destroyer he was on near the coast of Java and that he
swam ashore and lived for weeks on the jungle flora. Later he would be
wounded in the back and kidneys by machine-gun fire, making urination
difficult."
