Scientology's first 'Clear': L. Ron Hubbard intended to return as his daughter Diana's son January 20, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

John McMaster We have more fascinating documents recently unearthed by a researcher who is a friend to the Underground Bunker as well as a mainstay at WhyWeProtest.net. As we said on Friday, her Freedom of Information Act request with the Food and Drug Administration (made with the help of the MuckRock website) is yielding some interesting new insights into Scientology's early history.

The FDA intensively researched Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, because it was concerned about the health claims Hubbard was making about the "e-meter," the crude electronic device used in Scientology "auditing." Hubbard claimed that nearly all human ailments were psychosomatic in nature, and so his auditing with e-meters could rid a person of virtually any illness.

On January 3, 1963, the FDA, with the help of 14 federal marshals, raided Scientology's "Founding Church" in Washington DC, and confiscated about a hundred of the e-meters. The ensuing legal battle eventually resulted in a settlement requiring Scientology to put a disclaimer on each e-meter about how it was not to be used in the diagnosis of illness.
