DRONE FLYOVER: Another look at Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s final hiding place

 
In 2016, we got our first close-up look at a rather legendary place, the final hideout for Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and the location where his thetan shuffled off this material plane for good on January 24, 1986.

Now, our new anonymous drone pilot continues his tour of famous Scientology sites with another overflight that we think you’ll enjoy.

The Whispering Winds ranch near Creston, California is a lovely place for horses, and Hubbard spent his last few years in seclusion there, with just a few of his followers there to help him. He lived in a Bluebird motor home parked out near the horse stables, and this time we get a very clear view of the Great Thetan’s launching site…

The ranch is located about 20 miles south and east of Paso Robles. This map shows it in relation to the other places the new drone pilot has showed us recently — Int Base near Hemet, the CST headquarters where we believe Shelly Miscavige is, and the Larry Hagman estate in Ojai that has been turned into a Narconon clinic. The map also shows the location of Scientology’s “Big Blue” headquarters in Los Angeles.

 

 
We get another good look at the “LRH House” at the ranch, a lavish place that has been built in case Hubbard returns and needs a place to stay…

 

 
And to guide his thetan to the ranch, some time after 1994 a set of interlocking rings, the symbol of the Church of Spiritual Technology, was carved into the horse track…

Here’s the video. Let us know what you think about Hubbard’s final hidey hole.

 

Another flyover focuses more on the CST symbol.

“[The] press and the public are interested in murder, assault, destruction, violence, sex and dishonesty in that order. Investigations which can uncover these factors in the activities of individuals of a group attacking Scientology are valuable in the degree that they contain a number of these factors. The more factors a case contains the more important the case is. The idea is that the press feeds on these factors and we feed them someone else’s. It will be found that our own Scientology groups contain so few of these they have to be invented about us. We need never invent them in the attacking group. They will be found to be there.” — L. Ron Hubbard, February 17, 1966

Overheard in the FreeZone

“I entered this body when I was 4 and a half years old. This body was dying and the being inside it allowed me to enter it, because the entity wanted to leave. I was unaware of who I was for a long time. Many amazing things happened and I was able to awaken to who I am. I am one of the first new creations of new Orbs that are being created directly out of the static source in the future. I have never been in this universe before. I was sent from the future.”
