To promote himself and the cult [Hubbard] has made these among other false claims: […] That he was sent by U.S. Naval Intelligence to break up a black magic ring in California. He was not.

I don’t think very many people know how to occupy a subordinate post actually, if the org officer’s subordinate to the product officer, it’s an art. It’s an actual art.

And it’s disgraceful because it brags up the army all the time, all the time, all the time, advertise, advertise, advertise, you know? And it’s got a sergeant and it’s got a character named Beetle. And seems like this Beetle, who is a goldbrick ... He’s not as good as I used to be at goldbricking, but he’s pretty good, in an amateur sort of way. Goldbricking is a fine art, man.
