We would rather see the source documentary (The Shrinking World of L. Ron Hubbard) rather than this so-so "re-edited for comedic effect" movie but it gives you a glimpse at the man who singlehandedly founded the popular money-swindling cult of Scientology. The very cult that's going to sacrifice baby TomKat to bring about the resurrection of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
UPDATE: The original can be seen here. (Thanks to Ryan!)
The garb Hubbard sports places the video after 1967. Between 1967-70, L. Ron appointed himself "Commodore" of a fleet of Scientologist-manned vessels, roaming the Mediterranean waters. Here, he and his followers donned naval garb and formed the religious order , "Sea Org," which subsequently became the inner-circle management of Scientology.
Wikipedia sayeth:
- "Consumer Reports, in August 1951 assessment of Dianetics, dryly noted "one looks in vain in Dianetics for the modesty usually associated with announcement of a medical or scientific discovery," and stated that the book had become "the basis for a new cult."
