The life of L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) was surely one of the most extraordinary which this century has seen. He already has an entire Web site devoted to him, at the handsomely-produced http://www.lronhubbard.org. The account of his life given there is, however, a rather limited one - perhaps not surprisingly, given that the site belongs to Hubbard's brainchild, the Church of Scientology. This site contains copies of a number of publicly-available documents about Hubbard. The items listed below all come from public sources in the US. Most were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); some come from the still-sealed exhibits of the 1984 case Church of Scientology of California vs Gerald Armstrong (but were obtained legally, both here in Europe and in the US). They present a rather different picture of Hubbard, showing him to have a much darker side than is officially admitted by Scientology. Because these pages necessarily use a lot of graphics (many inline images of documents), we recommend that you use a graphical browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer to view these pages.
