THOSE WHO OPPOSE SCIENTOLOGY
THE
REAL
ISSUES
To understand the forces ranged against L. Ron Hubbard, in this war he never started, it is necessary to gain a cursory glimpse of the old and venerable science of psychiatry — which was actually none of the aforementioned. As an institution, it dates back to shortly before the turn of the century; it is certainly not worthy of respect by reason of age or dignity; and it does not meet any known definition of a science, what with its hodgepodge of unproven theories that have never produced any result — except an ability to make the unmanageable and mutinous more docile and quiet, and turn the troubled into apathetic souls beyond the point of caring.
That it promotes itself as a healing profession is a misrepresentation, to say the least. Its mission is to control.
Psychiatry as we know it today is more priesthood than science. Its conglomeration of half-baked theories is handed down by an arbitrary elite — authorities who have attained such status through who they know and who can sweet-talk the government into parting with yet more grant money. While as for what they actually do, there are only three primary methods of “treatment” — electroshock, psychosurgery and psychotropic drugs.
