This is hilarious. Does Berra actually think Joe Biden and world leaders are looking at the Berrics Instagram? I mean I knew the guy was a self-important egomaniac but this is just absolutely ludicrous. Nobody is following your skate park to get their opinions on international geopolitical conflicts, Steve.
Lron would be proud
According to Hubbard himself he at one time worked on narco-synthesis and weapons of psychological warfare on behalf of the US department of defense, also volunteering to inform on members of his own organization to the FBI. He was a staunch anti-communist and I'd guess he wouldn't be terribly upset about war with Russia or any other "enemy of the state". He was most likely a US intelligence asset throughout his career.
Scientology has some pretty wild connections to mid century psychological warfare and intelligence operations, but it’s also worth noting that Hubbard was completely full of shit. He told a ton of tall tales about himself being an Eagle Scout and a highly decorated military veteran, but most of it isn’t true.
Just one example: I’ve actually toured 3 or 4 scientology facilities over the years because I have a morbid fascination with it all. One memory that sticks out was in L Ron’s home in Washington DC, which is now preserved as a museum. Anyone can tour it for free, and they’ll give you a bunch of books and DVDs.
Anyway, in this house there was a picture of some building on a rocky beach next to a cliff, which they claimed was where he lived when he was in New Jersey for some reason. But I’m *from* coastal New Jersey and I know that there aren’t really any coastlines in NJ that look like this picture.
Anyway Berra sucks but I guess I agree with him for once in this case. Even a dog’s ass sees the sun once in a while.
