Interesting. There are a number of rumors about the death of Hubbard. The one that stands outs the most is related the current top-dog of Scientology David Miscavige.
I am interested in what your friends believes about Hubbard’s death. Some insiders have different accounts and that interest me. (maybe the psychs???)
My gosh, you’re asking me about a post from four years ago? My one Scientologist friend moved from here several years ago. I never did find out why he thought that Hubbard was murdered.
Hubbard was being treated with Coumadin, a medical trade name for Warfarin, a rat poison that kills rats by interfering with blood clotting, with enough Warfarin on board a rat will beed out from a minor cut or bruise.
Hubbard died of cerebral hemorrhage.
California law requires an autopsy whenever anyone dies outside a hospital, but a provision that it can be waived if they die under the care of a physician.
There was no autopsy.
He was promptly cremated, according to Scientology practice (curiously enough, neither I nor any of my SCN friends had ever heard of this before he died).
I am NOT saying Dr Denk poisoned him. Any number of aids had access to Hubbard's medical chest. And Dr Denk often had his medical assistant administer injections and do blood draws.
I AM saying that someone in Hubbard's circle had Motive (total control over billions of dollars and 100's of thousands of devoted followers) had Opportunity (unlimited access to Hubbard) and had Means (access to his medicines and trust to inject them).
Que Bono? Who benefitted from his demise? Hmmmm?
People have been murdered for pocket change, let alone billion$ and massive amounts of raw power.
Was Hubbard?
Dr Denk also pasted under circumstances that weren't clear to me a bit later (I don't remember when, but I believe it was within the year, if not within a few months). Makes ya go hmmmmm?
