We're continuing to look back at 2017's most significant stories here at the Underground Bunker and today it's a flashback to July in our annual Scientology year-in-review.

On Independence Day, we reported that Clearwater bar owner Clay Irwin had managed to download images from the spy camera that was planted outside his house. They included not only images of his house but another one as well. Based on those images, we were later able to confirm that the Church of Scientology was behind the surveillance of Clay's driveway.

On July 7, we did that thing we do every once in a while and bring you Scientology at its source with another fun excerpt of an actual L. Ron Hubbard lecture, in this case a really fun talk that Hubbard gave in 1963. In it, Hubbard revealed the real name of Earth society as given by our space overlords, and he also pitied people who believe in God, who fail to understand that they are a god, and that Scientology can give them powers to crush a planet between thumb and forefinger. Funny how the Scientology celebs never talk about this stuff.
