This is another lucid and well researched presentation by Chris Shelton, who does magnificent work. It reveals the deep paranoia of Scientology. I understand why the Church of Scientology requires paranoia. This organization claims to have the solutions to all problems, and to be capable of making everybody and everything much better than it presently is, and yet with all this incredible technology of which they endlessly boast, they seem to be constantly struggling even to function at all.
For some reason, the Orgs never seem to be able to pay a living wage to their staff (even while creating beautiful Ideal Orgs in which their underpaid staff can work). The general public remains hostile to Scientology and largely regards it as a joke (and certainly, much amusement was derived from Scientology on the South Park TV program, and on Saturday Night Live among others). Many governments in many countries have taken action against the CofS. Once Mary Sue Hubbard, who was at the time second only to her husband L. Ron Hubbard as the top Scientology executive, actually went to jail for her crimes.
If the CofS is only doing good in this world, everybody should love them. Where is all this hostility coming from? And why is it that even after the 67 years that have elapsed since the publication of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health in 1950, only a very tiny fraction (less than one hundredth of one percent) of the world population have become Scientologists? If Scientology is the greatest thing ever (as LRH claims) everyone should want to become a Scientologist. The Scientology Orgs should be overwhelmed by a mad rush of new people seeking Scientology services. The public should be lining up around the block, trying to get in. Instead, the Orgs are doing very little business and are nearly empty.
In order to explain this situation, it is necessary to invent vast secret conspiracies aimed against Scientology. We are therefore told by LRH that evil people secretly run the world for their own selfish purposes, and those people are opposed to Scientology, because only Scientology has the power to make people sane, and sane people will not tolerate these evil conspiracies. As far back as 1950, when the psychiatric profession rejected Hubbard's newly published theory of Dianetics and failed to incorporate it into normal psychiatric methods, their motive (supposedly) was not one of legitimate scientific skepticism about an unproven technique, but rather, fear that this technique would be too successful and would make people better than psychiatrists wanted them to be.
Hubbard has presented us with a theory that (if you believe it) justifies all failures by the CofS. If people are happy with the CofS that confirms that Scientology works, and if they are unhappy with the CofS that also confirms that Scientology works, because critics of the cult are (supposedly) only motivated by their desire to prevent people from getting better, and they therefore would not waste their time attacking Scientology unless they knew that Scientology works.
Thus, according to Hubbard's theory, all possible reactions to Scientology, whether friendly or hostile, confirm that Scientology works. This is, of course, very convenient for him. It's like that old comdey cliché that says "let's flip a coin; heads I win, tails you lose". Hubbard always wins, provided that you accept his paranoid theory.
