    Very fair interview explaining both sides of Hubbard. Goldstein runs Idenics, a Scientology spin off therapy.

    Thank you for uploading and sharing this video with your viewers. I do hope that you will allow it to remain available indefinitely as it clearly is one of the more unique pieces to a greater puzzle.
    I also want to specifically thank *Mike Goldstein* for helping us, the public, with making information available for us to educate ourselves by speaking so openly about your experience with L. Ron Hubbard and the Sea Org (a 'department' or work force supposedly made up by the most strongly committed members within the Scientology organization).

    21:24 firsthand explanation by Mike Goldstein of the Hubbard focus on "Flag" higher paying services, how it started, and then this eventually became what is today the "Flag Landbase" in Clearwater Florida. Mike gives just excellent background history. This talk by Mike has so many threads which lead to today's Scientology highest organizations, "Flag Land Base" organizations, and today's even Author Services Inc has roots in the jobs Hubbard first gave to Mike on the Apollo, the "LRH Properties" Chief position that Hubbard gave Mike at one point. It all ties into what's become of today's Scientology related organizations. Amazing back history. (I used to train staff in my 27 year career in the Sea Org, so this history from Mike is particularly dot connecting, my course room teaching/overseeing jobs in the staff training departments I worked in made me delve into the history nooks and crannies which Mike gives firsthand history answers to.)

      Mike: I See no evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no evil.
      "Some things Hubbard did were a good idea and some were a bad idea. He was just an ordinary guy like anyone else." End of story.
      Thanks Mike. Based on your testimony I guess it's safe to go ahead and become a Sea Org slave and sign the Billion year contract.

    I remember Mike when he came through Flag (Clearwater) in the later 1970s. My first wife later became the FBO Flag and she then rose to CS-3, and she had to deal with Herbie Parkhouse, liaise, with Herbie who was the GO Finance guy "worldwide", and the Wendell Reynolds was the "Assistant Guardian Flag", and Wendell's wife was friends with my first wife and was our maid of honor at our marriage.
    The missing finance people, who were in the "LRH Personal Office" were called "LRH Accounts" and that was Vicki Polimeni Liviningston, she was the position who handled Hubbard's accounts directly. Later on, when Vicki moved on or left the Sea Org, then it was Marlin Anderson who was "LRH Accounts". I believe, my educated guess, is the royalties were dealt with by the "LRH Accounts" personnel until later, when Author Services Inc was finally formed later in 1981-82, that's when the royalties
    The "LRH Accounts" position actually handled Hubbard's money accounts like their position said.
    And all of the staff in the "LRH Personal Office" were like that name says, they were LRH's personal office staff, which included his "Household Unit" personnel who kept up his "LRH spaces" (office and quarters).
    The problem was all of these staffs were Sea Org members, the so-called "religious order" (monks and nuns, but allowed to be married) staff who were really the retinue of Hubbard's, something the IRS objected to that religious order staff were doing all these detailed things just for Hubbard, completely by his writings that today are all categorized as "religious scriptures" but the whole lot of these staff writings to the LRH Personal Office are really a big big reason the IRS did NOT have any option but deny Scientology tax exemption!
    Hubbard just completely blatantly violated the rules of getting religious tax exemption for Scientology by the way that the "LRH Personal Office" was set up.
    Mike's career directly interacting with Hubbard's, Mike was part of the formative "Finance Office" network, which is all Sea Org top managed.
    Mike lived the period when Mike was taking direct orders, like all the other top Sea Org executives were, all illegal or rather all grounds for the IRS's denying Scientology tax exemption.
    The one period Mike got elevated to the higher position as sort of the Marketing position over Hubbard's "properties" (the way Hubbard thought of himself is that Hubbard created various products, and he wished someone to set up a way to market and make income exchange for those properties). "LRH Properties Chief" post that Mike was given that whole tape lecture from Hubbard to do, I'm almost positive this position was in the "LRH Personal Office."
    I've tried on my comments on various blogs explain that the later Author Services Inc, which was the final legal (to the IRS for tax purposes) separating the staff off to a whole "for profit" incorporated group, Author Services Inc, to finally take care of the money for Hubbard, within the rules the IRS wished.
    Today, Scientology is still struggling with this Author Services Inc separation from the "church" of Scientology control.
    Today, jump to the ramifications of Mike's full talk here, is that what Mike talks about, the "LRH Properties Chief" post became split, with "Materials Exec Int" in the church, and then Author Services Inc is totally the for profit side of Hubbard's "properties."
    Excellent chunk of history and wholly a lot of weeds details.
    I think Scientology's a crock of .... and not worth anyone's time today, even though I put in a load of years myself in the Sea Org (1975-2003), and finally concluded it's like Tony Ortega (the journalist) has summarized about Scientology. It fails to deliver anyone any super soul powers, and fails at what it claims it will do.
    No soul astronauts are produced, yet that's what "Full Operating Thetans" are supposed to be able to do, they cannot fly out of their skulls at will.
    Hail Xenu.

    You know. early on Ron's son from his 1st marriage--L. Ron Jr. (called Nibs)--no doubt would have been the heir apparent to running the show if he had stayed on. But he had a falling out with the elder L. Ron and so left the cult. I also have no doubt that L. Ron would have wanted a son or daughter to succeed him. I do not know if he had Quentin Hubbard in mind, but if he did, that obviously did not work out. I, personally, think he should have decided to turn over the reins to Diana (who I think is still in Scientology). Whether she would have wanted be in charge I have no idea, but I know that she would have been capable. I also think she would not have been afraid to do away with the RPF. The current leader, David Miscavige, who was not appointed by Hubbard or anyone but who seized power, not only continued the RPF, but is cruel and is a public relations disaster for the Church. Diana Hubbard would have been much better.

    I find it strange how this man that has an overtly confident manner was just another sheep.I think a lot of them were very conceited people who already kinda thought they were special and Hubbard just exploited that.Hubbard struggled with the real world as well.he made a prison for himself by declaring things that he cud never be and had to stay away from most followers cos he was getting old and dying.the powers this guys talking about is more than likely hypnotic suggestion.a lot of his work was based around breaking people down.learning hypnotism he saw things he cud exploit mentally in people
