I had the same feeling. And LRH isn't the only one. I've had that feeling about some other people as soon as I met them.
I think it's an aura thing or something along those lines that I can't explain. Evil people have shadows that I can see.

Please call me by my true names
so I can hear all my cries and laughs at once...

All those Hubbard self-portraits where he's staring off into the aether. Our visionary hero, who can see so much further than ordinary people, who have only studied Scientology for a mere thirty years or so...
Thery're not great pictures, are they? Nothing could conceal the pockmarked skin, the flab, the rubbery lips, the receding hair. At best, Hubbard looks like the kind of uncle you wouldn't want touching your children.
But consider this: the photos you see are the good ones. The best of the bunch. LRH will have shot roll after roll of film, had them all developed and then printed the ones that looked most promising. LRH pretty much never threw anything away. We know this from all the files that Gerry Armstrong dug up, while trying to write a Hubbard biography.
It's logical to assume that in a store room somewhere at Stain Hill or in the USA there are a mass of negatives and maybe some prints from all the failed photos. All the ones where Hubbard doesn't quite manage to pull off his Hitler Jugend dedicated stare, or doesn't quite manage the 'Big Brother' look of benevolence that he was going for, and simply looks like a slack-jawed old drug addict.
One day these will come to light. At the rate that Scientology is losing staff, that means a person who knows about such pictures could blow at any time. Maybe with some copies...
You don't have to worry about squirrels
unless you are a nut.

This thread could become a rundown where the end result is that one no longer cringes at the sight of the beast but rather just laughs hysterically at the thought of looking at his picture...sounds good to me!

So what, I made it all up--
You got a PTP with that?
REALITY: L. Ron Hubbard pulled off the single largest literary hoax in history by writing 680 pages of pure fiction and cynically getting it mis-classified as science and thereafter distributing and/or selling over 20 million copies of wildly inflated hyperbolic nonsense, pre-meditated charlatanism and fraudulent lies. Shortly thereafter, when the "science" miserably failed, Hubbard made up some more lies, called it Scientology and promptly began an even larger-scale hoax by cynically getting it mis-classified as religion.
DELUSION: Scientologists proudly and ethically promote Hubbard's lie-stained works of fiction while thinking the thoughts Ron told them to think--"Books make Booms!" and "Ron's books are bringing about a world without insanity and criminality."--precisely the 2 tragedies that Hubbard's works specialize in bringing about in trusting book buyers.

Scientology in one word? HelluvaHoax!
I never felt as free as when I freed myself from "Total Freedom".
For offended Scientologists reading this blasphemy about L. Ron Hubbard---my apologies for talking about real life without lying to you, like Scientology, with goo-goo theta-talk. I know you don't have a floating needle right now. You're not supposed to.
