David Mayo, speaking of Ron Hubbard: "He had dodged paying taxes in the US, and bankrupted Orgs in the US and skipped the country."

"He had a birthday party on March 13, 1968. There was a woman he
ordered into the chain locker. During the party he had her brought out.
She was filthy, covered with dirt and rust... She had been in there for
a week... He said he was giving her a reprieve, but he was just
flaunting her degradation."
When the party was over, the woman was placed back in the chain locker.
Mayo also described the placing of children in the chain locker, and
the nose-pushing-peanut-around-the-deck punishment:
"Charlie Reisdorf was in his late 50s probably. His two daughters were
messengers, they were 11 or 12 at the time, and his wife was there
also. It's hard to say which was worse to watch - this guy with a
bleeding nose, or his wife and kids sobbing and crying at being forced
to watch this. Hubbard was standing there calling the shots, yelling,
'Faster, faster!'
"It was indignity, degradation, and breaking a person's will, and
making people watch it. It was disgusting."

Its easy to forget exactly how evil Hubbard actually was...
the policy itself is more abstract...but events like this
demonstrate his actual condition. Just as amazing to me
is the fact that he found a cadre of people to cheer him on,
or tremble in fear before him as he did such things.

The denial aspect re. Hubbard can be very strong. After all, one of his
chief "gimmicks" was to equate himself with "Survival." (And to equate
the many layered and compartmentalized operation of "Scientology" with
"LRH" with "Survival.")
Once a person believes this, "making LRH wrong" becomes akin to
shutting off ones own oxygen supply. It creates a sense of panic.

A touch of historical reality for the true believers.
