After the first washington post article of Christmas day 1995 I got a telephone call from an elderly man, the conversation went something like this:

Arnie Lerma:: Hello

Caller: Hell, is this Mr Lerma?

Arnie Lerma::: Yes it is, what can i do for you?

Caller: Have you ever heard about the manuscript that Hubbard read while he was in the Naval Hospital in Norfolk?

Arnie Lerma:: No, tell me about it...

Caller; One of clinicians who was treating wounded returning from WWII had a manuscript he was writing, and was passing it about to get additional ideas from the men in the hospital. Hubbard took a copy of that manuscript and used it to write Dianetics... remember how fast he claimed to have written Dianetics? That was because next his typewriter was that manuscript!!.

Arnie lerma: Who was it that wrote the manuscript that hubbard used for Dianetics??

Caller: i do not know, I just recall that one of the clinicians was passing it around for opinions....

Arnie Lerma: thanks so much...would you tell me your name so I can attribute this tidbit to you? were you there at the time?

Caller: I was there, but I do not wish give my name as I am retired, and my days of stressful living are long gone....

Arnie lerma: well, thanks so much....

Well years went by and then Ms. Ida Camburn of Hemet California sent me a copy of William Sargant's book "Battle for the Mind"

As I read William Sargant's Battle for the MIND... I realized.. that even though it was published in 1955.... I became convinced that THIS was the book/manuscript that Hubbard used to write Dianetics!!

Not only was the "TECH" of Dianetics described therein.... but every weird rant by Hubbard in Dianetics.... is also in William Sargants book, except in sargants book, you get the whole of the truth, Hubbard inverts ( uses a dichotomy ) many of the ideas of William Sargant, who happened to be an internationally known PSYCH!

I discussed this briefly on a posting to this newsgroup some years ago, and somebody located a crurriculum vitae for William Sargant, a britisher, head of some big british Psychiatric Association...

And Guess what smoking gun was found?

Sure enough, seems that in 1945/6 while huybbard was in Norfolk Virginia naval hospital, William Sargant just happenned to be a visiting professor at a near by college in North Carolina!

I am concluded that William Sargant WAS that "clinician" who was passing about a manuscript...

He originally wrote Dianetics in 1950.. ( Read the 1950 Scientific American Review of Dianetics ) He claimed that Dianetics was a discovery of a magnitude comparable the discovery of fire... This is more than one lie. Dianetics as written by Hubbard, is neither his discovery or is it of any major import to the field of psychology and self-betterment.

In Dianetics Hubbard demonizes psychiatry, psychology and Pavlov, He repeatedly refers to them in his voluminous writings as the "PSYCHS"

He does this for at least two reasons:

Number ONE

He knew that for his scam to keep extracting money from rubes, that he must "de-popularize" and "dead-agent" psychiatry, because if anyone read BRITISH Psychiatrist and Professor William Sargant's book "Battle for the MIND" one would learn that what Hubbard called "Dianetics" is based upon a technology that was first used in North Africa by psychologists and clinicians to treat soldiers suffering from shell shock - post traumatic stress disorder or "ptsd". That technique was called "Aberactive Therapy" and was based upon the work of Pavlov.

Pavlov, famous for his detailed experiments conditioning dogs, some of which were conditioned to salivate when given a slight electrical stimulous through their paws... ( see this page about Scientology's subliminal shock - from their e-meter ) made his most important discovery by accident.

One holiday the river flooded Pavlov's laboratory. By the time the first staff arrived at the scene, the dogs were swimming for their lives at the tops of their cages in the rapidly rising water. The dogs were rescued at the last instant before they would have drown.

Pavlov then made his most amazing discovery. The conditioning in his dogs had in most cases been eliminated and sometimes reversed!

Based upon this observation, various forms of induced stress therapy were tried over the years, including electric shock therapy, insulin shock therapy, ice water baths etc... as a means to treat the insane, and cause a mental-reboot of sorts. The theories were that when the brain reaches a complete state of mental overload it will temporarily cease to function and then re-start - sort of a clean reboot with a new operating system.

Used for evil intent, Pavlov's discoveries were used by Lenin to create the Stalinist brainwashing techniques that controlled those who would not obey the wishes of Stalin's totalitarian government. Other evil spectres of the past have used these techniques.

Now for Scientology to keep it's followers they must NEVER NEVER NEVER be allowed to find out that Hubbard DID NOT INVENT DIANETICS!

In order to accomplish this, the entire field of Psychiatric mental healing is demonized by Hubbard.

Which is the exact same reason that Scientology runs its hate pages on crticis and ex-member....

Because he did not what his rubes to ever read the truth, Dianetics was NOT discovered by Hubbard, he stole it from prior art, Aberactive Therapy, which was used by Psychiatrists in North Africa in 1944 to treat shell shock.

Number TWO

"Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in God, but NEVER without belief in a Devil"

Page 95 Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer"

"When Hitler was asked whether he thought the Jews must be destroyed, he answered: "No.... we should have then to invent him. It is essential to have a tangible enemy, not merely an abstract enemy"

Hermann Rauschning - Hitler Speaks (Pitman 1940)

The Abstract enemy in Scientology is the REACTIVE MIND

The Tangible enemy in Scientology are "Psychs", that is Psychiatrists and of course those who have been the "dupes" of "psychiatrists" -

The enemies of Scientology such as you and I.

I asked author Paulette Cooper, who was sued 19 times for her 1971 edition of "The Scandal of Scientology" this question: Why did you decide to expose Scientology?

She answered, because I recognized in Scientology, the same spectre that killed my parents at Auschwitz.

Battlefield earth was no more than a Goebbels style propganda piece...

In The Movie Battlefield Earth the BAD GUYS are called "PSYCHLOS"

In Dianetics and Scientology the BAD GUYS are called "PSYCHS"

For Scientology PSYCHS ( or PSYCHLOS in Battlefield earth) -serve the same purpose as the JEWS did for the Nazis

By repetition of the idea that PSYCHLOS are evil, Hubbard hoped to make PSYCHS more evil, because his worst fear was that somebody, SOMEDAY, would connect these dots.

Perhaps THAT is why he wanted everything done NOW NOW NOW!

cause Hubbard knew "Somebody would find out about him"

Battlefield Earth forwards Scientology's agenda. He did not call the bad guys PSYCHLOS by accident.

Just as in Scientology, he did not decide to refer to the human soul by the name "THETAN" by accident.

You see, if you were to say the word SATAN with a lisp it would come out THETAN.
