Here are some recently released images of Hubbard. I'm putting them in this thread so as not to start another one. I think I started another thread for this kind of pictures, but I couldn't find it.




Additionally, here's an effort at joking and degrading.

I like to remember that from the 60's onward everybody Hubbard spoke with had been indoctrinated to believe that he was the smartest one in the room if not the world. All those claps and hoorays and that adoration was tainted, and it still is. I doubt Hubbard ever won a fair fight.

On that blurry photo Ron looks like he is 7 months pregnant.

Ron wore cheap lumpy suits until he got to Saint Hill and had money for a good tailor. After he left Saint Hill and gained weight he went back to the cheap lumpy look, but with sweater vests to hide the paunch, and tacky short sleeve shirts.

That lower photo looks like cheap paneling, maybe in California. Ron was dyeing his gray hair in later years - his hair color was fake light orange, or very light-gray in black and white photos.

On probably more than one tape Ron would start out..."OK..what day is it?" And someone would shout out what day it was. Now realizing his penchant for drugs, it is actually believable that he didn't know what day it was. I wonder on how many tape recordings was Ron as high as a kite.

Here's another one scanned from a recent thingie I got in the mail.


His desk looks a bit cluttered and is that mactac on the top?
Note the location of the ashtray, ideally placed for conversations.

I retitled this thread from 'Ron Sits Above' to 'Pictures of L. Ron.' If you've got pictures of him you want to post, put them here. No, I don't care if they're shooped.

The 7:41 photo above has the tie and white shirt badly photoshopped.

I'm calling shoop on this one.

True, that last photo has another man's body. Look at the wide shoulders of the top photo of the 7:41 post. This last photo has a much shorter distance from the neck to the shoulder. The chin and nick are blurred to hide the double chin and tuck into the suit. Then LRH's head and other man's body has a nice flags-of-nations background inserted..

I think they also thinned his lips.
