12 February 2018 – a proofreader (unfamiliar with Scientolipedia and Internet generally) has gone through the whole manuscript and made suggestions. This has to be entered in when I, Antony, has a moment.

Ant I think the above is meant to be a link to a web page. As it is not a live link I suggest removing everything in green.

L. RON HUBBARD'S MISSION EARTH: the rest of the story
by Robert Vaughn Young**
A representative of Scientology's Dept. 20 Suggest an explanation of Dept 20) has claimed on ARS [1] that I had
nothing to do with Hubbard's last work, "Mission Earth." I tend to ignore
the blathering of these sock puppets[2] but I really took personal umbrage [3] at this one! I was Hubbard's editor and sometimes-ghost writer and I earned THAT battle ribbon!
I was working at Author Services, Inc. (ASI) which served as Hubbard's
"literary agency" as well as his personal representative. (For example,
ASI handled all of his personal income and bank2. a colloquial name for the reactive mind. This is what the procedures of Scn are devoted to disposing of, for it is only a burden to an individual and he is much better off without it. (Scn AD)...more
accounts. ASI was also his secret command lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) into the Church of Scientology, which is another
subject.)
IMAGE IS EVERYTHING, DUDE
When Hubbard's manuscript of "Mission Earth" (or "ME" as we called it) came in to Author Services, Inc. (ASI), it arrived as one volume, typed on legal-sized paper and on a manual [typewriter]. It came in a banker's box with each chapter in a separate file folder. And not ordinary file folders. I don't know where they got them but they were heavy, thick and dark red. It was pure Hubbard all the way: image at every turn, no matter how ridiculous you look. (Look at some of his self-portraits for photos of a man full of himself.)
The manuscript came with instructions. Hubbard said it should be cut up into three or maybe ten sections and for us to decide and suggest. Well, ten volumes make more money than three do so naturally we said ten. Great, he said, and more instructions followed.
"THE GUY IN SUN GLASSES? HE'S DOING RESEARCH."
I should interject here how we communicated with Hubbard. Until 1981, he had been operating secretly from La Quinta (code name "Rifle") and Gilman Hot Springs, both in the Southern California desert. At the time, he had staff around him and ways to get messages into various Scientology organizations. But in 1981, he was on the runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) and hiding. (We later called it "off doing research into the human spirit.") His wife Mary Sue and 10 other executives from Dept. 20 had stipulated to a variety of felonies including burglaries of federal offices and were sent to jail. Hubbard had been named a co-conspirator. And to make matters worse, he was being named in a series of lawsuits and attempts were being made to find and serve him. So Hubbard did the only thing a "real OTOperating Thetan - 7. this state of being is attained by drills and familiarity after the state of Clear has been obtained. A real OT has no reactive bank, is cause over matter, energy, space, time and thought and is completely free. (HCOB 12 Jul 65)...More" would do. He ran and hid.
When two staff fled Gilman and their story appeared in a Riverside paper saying Hubbard had been hiding there, the cover on the base was completely blown. (I was called in to deal with that situation. How I handled it, converting it to Golden Era Studios, which it is today, was told in "Quill," the journal of the Society of Professional Journalists.) That
also meant that Hubbard no longer had his command lines into the Church of Scientology. That's whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) ASI was formed.
