Karen de la Carriere has been keeping us updated on a situation she’s been facing with the Church of Scientology, and now that she’s resolved it, she’s ready to go public.

On Memorial Day, some new revelations from L. Ron Hubbard’s military record

Recently, we heard from Chris Owen, the preeminent historian of L. Ron Hubbard’s war record. We had contacted Chris after a news story appeared that had a hard time making heads or tails of Hubbard’s convoluted war record, and ended up making some conclusions that were a bit off.

Chris helped us set the record straight on that, and we’re grateful to him for it. He acknowledged that Hubbard’s war record is complex, but it really isn’t “mysterious,” as the press account had it, and it is possible to draw some solid conclusions about Hubbard’s war service based on a 1979 review that was compiled.

He was kind enough to send us a new post.

Bunkerites, your proprietor on Tuesday had another full day in California on the book tour, and we took care of some private meetings. Tonight, we’ll be in San Diego and hoping for a fun event.

In the meantime, one of our great tipsters put together some images from an International Association of Scientologists special meeting in Florence, Italy that involved some of Scientology’s biggest “whales.” These are the wealthy folks who are keeping Scientology alive with their donations, and you can see that they have some great perspective on what their money gets them.
