| Summary: | Former Scientology archivist and ex-Scientologist Gerald “Gerry” Armstrong asserts that founder L. Ron Hubbard drank and used drugs in 1967 at Las Palmas when he researched OT III (Operating Thetan Level 3), per a purported letter admitting such to his wife Mary Sue Hubbard. Armstrong never introduced the letter into court as evidence, nor did it appear in any court transcript, which Armstrong freely admits. All of Hubbard’s letters to Mary Sue in the evidence log either lack descriptions or dates. Notably, Armstrong made this claim after the trial, and others soon echoed him. These claims do not hold up well under scrutiny, however, as many self-contradict or contradict each other. Furthermore, publicly available articles and earlier testimonies give an opposite narrative. While Hubbard’s whereabouts and activities in 1967 remain unclear, the burden of proof rests on the accusers, given that the currently available evidence suggests otherwise. |
