Going Clear, Part 9 – 9 Lies in one Paragraph

Going Clear, Part 9: Wollersheim case, Nine scandalous lies in one paragraph.

Rathbun dissects 7 sentences in one paragraph that he demonstrates contains 9 lies.  These concern events that Rathbun would have been a first-hand witness to had they occurred. He exposes a number of other inventions of Wright himself where he cites no witnesses or ones who have been thoroughly discredited.  Had Wright checked any one of these charges with Rathbun – all concerned times and places Rathbun had direct knowledge of – Wright would have had his facts corrected. Not that it he would have. He knew Rathbun was the most credible witness and was present at the times and places recounted, yet never gave him the opportunity to corroborate or deny any of them.  Wright even accuses the church of doing things that are physically impossible in this universe. 

Going Clear, Part 8 Questionable Sources

Going Clear, Part 8:  Questionable Sources

Wright indicts and convicts L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige at the ages of 12 years old. Literally, Wright goes back that far to invent episodes in their lives to attack their characters.  In the case of Miscavige, Wright spent 4 pages utilizing a source lacking credibility to accuse Miscavige of something that allegedly occurred 40 years earlier, making Miscavige 12 years old. Rathbun provides first-hand information that demonstrates the witness to lack credibility.  Write takes innuendo, muses about, turning it into fact during the process.
