Marty's HUB BIO - Titles? Covers?

[Veda]

Proposals for titles and cover illustrations for Marty Rathbun's second book, a biography of L. Ron Hubbard, are now being accepted for consideration on this thread.

L. Ron Hubbard, Misunderstood Genius

Well, you get the idea. We want people to at least stop besmirching L. Ron Hubbard's and L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology's good name, and, ideally, to make them r_e_a_c_h for L. Ron Hubbard and L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology.

How about...


And Nothing of Value Was Lost

Still Less Besmirchable than Stalin?

Veda — has Marty actually said he is doing a Hubbard bio?

Still a Dirtbag After All Those Years

Hmmmm . . . this opens up a possible money-spinner for Marty:

"IN HIS MASTER'S FOOTSTEPS: How to make up shit and get other people to buy the books."

"The allegorical life of L Ron Hubbard"

Still Less Besmirchable than Stalin?

Paul

He has a duty to do it. The future of Scientology depends on it. Otherwise how will the Scientologists convince the "wogs" to become "raw meat" and eventually go "up" the LRH "Bridge"?

And Marty has said as much, at various times in various places.

Otherwise the only Hubbard biographies will be ones written by anti-Scientologists, like this one:

And the humongous ridiculous RON encyclopedia coffee table picture books produced by the Miscavologists:

"With all the chatter about L. Ron Hubbard's alleged shortcomings, it got me thinking about what the effect of the unprecedented ad hominem attacks against the man were. Hubbard was demonized by the cold war establishment perhaps more than any other civilian figure. One cumulative effect of it all was to one degree or another de-humanize him in the public eye. We see remnants of those effects to this day. Tony Ortega has even come to the conclusion that my mission - and the mission of many independents - is made hopeless by this historical landscape. The landscape is not easy to conceptualize given its long lived nature and Miscavige's daily efforts to make the myths a reality. Providing context to the entire picture is a long term project that I never lose sight of, but unfortunately I have not found the time to devote to it that it deserves."

Marty Rathbun, from his Blog, September 30, 2011

Rathbun has read Hubbard's confidential Intelligence briefing, below, and has even quoted from it on his blog, so he knows about the history of L. Ron Hubbard besmirching:

From 'Intelligence Actions, Covert Intelligence Data Collection' of 2 December 1969. It describes events of 1950:

"The objective of the enemy is to discredit...

"Their first blast was the San Francisco papers, Sept. 1950, quoting the publisher (of Book One) Ceppos being critical of me (he was a communist) followed by the LA papers, pushed then by Sara Komkovadamanov (alias Northrup) 'divorce' actions, followed by attempted kidnapping of myself. Other details were pushed into it including murder of four and so on. This was a full complete covert operation. At the back of it was Miles Hollister (psychology student), Sara Komkovadamanov (housekeeper at the place nuclear physicists stayed near Cal Tech), Gene Benton and his wife - president of the Young Communists League...

"This was a full war against Dianetics..."

Note: all the above parentheses are from the original.

And I'm sure Marty has heard the LRH lecture from the 1950s from which these were derived...

From a 1977 recorded message, 'Can we Ever Be Friends?':

"Possibly any trouble Dianetics or Scientology ever had began on May 9, 1950 when the U.S government, excited by the possibility of Hubbard's work, sought to force him into classified government service.

"In Washington, they told him they wanted him to work on projects to make people more suggestible. When he declined they threatened and, typically, he refused to bow."

"And the war between the government and Scientology was on."

There's another version of this from the 1978 edition of 'What is Scientology?'. It ends with:

"The government never forgave him for this and soon began vicious, covert international attacks on his work. "

It's all part of stopping the anti-Christ and anti-Ron of Scientology, who has hijacked Scientology and reversed it! It's essential!

"Miscavige has run a continuous propaganda campaign attempting to besmirch the good name of L. Ron Hubbard. He has continually given little interest or funds for defending public relations attacks on L. Ron Hubbard."

I've included the above quotes because they were convenient, but there's much more.

This is serious!

Now, c'mon you guys, assist Marty with some effective book title and effective book cover illustration suggestions!

Polishing A Turd

How Marty spent his lifetime

I can see you're not yet with the program.

We want people to 1) at least stop besmirching L. Ron Hubbard's and L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology's good name, and, 2) ideally, to make them r_e_a_c_h for L. Ron Hubbard and L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology.

I have a feeling this may not be a very long thread.

Marty - this is your mission:

Make people think nice thoughts about LRH.

NB: LRH is an idealised fictional person quite unlike L Ron Hubbard.
