Going Clear, Part 11 summary
Wrights weaves an invention-laden narrative that is false in sum and substance about Scientology’s history vis a vis the Internal Revenue service. Wright literally invents the origin of the problem with the IRS – an event that Rathbun demonstrates never occurred and could not have occurred. Wright lies about the Church’s alleged IRS liabilities. Based on these two inventions Wright dramatically concludes “The Founder had placed Scientology’s head on the executioner’s block.” Rathbun notes, “he literally invented two statements and then from them invented a conclusion.” Wright was informed that his misinformation that the church investigated the private lives of IRS agents was false, yet he published it anyway – with no source. His only source said it didn’t happen and he published it anyway. Rathbun details a dozen facts that Wright was informed were incorrect, yet Wright published anyway.
