    The document that you see on this page http://www.newyorker.com/online/blo...on-hubbard-leaves-the-navy.html#ixzz1DUJ9DDzK has the answer you see, from a spokesman for the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Click the highlighted sections of the document.

    “the injuries that he (LRH) handled by the use of Dianetics procedures were never handled, because they were injuries that never existed; therefore, Dianetics is based on a lie; therefore, Scientology is based on a lie.” Tommy Davis

    Tommy is doing a great job!

    Okay, 'stars' for subsequent awards of the PH in the Navy it is. Which means the shore story about the DD214 being 'sheep dipped' is bogus, as anyone in a position to do it would know the correct information to use. What it looks like is someone saw an award with an oak leaf cluster, thought it looked like palm leaf and used that terminology instead of the correct 'star' or 'oak leaf cluster'.

    So it looks like the Tommy boy should be awarded a "Face Palm with Cluster F*ck" for pushing the Cof$'s supposedly "real" DD214 on the New Yorker so hard!

    Of course it's only rumors, but there was some talk that TD blew a while back. He has to be experiencing a lot of cognitive dissonance about now. Maybe the statement to the New Yorker was one of those accidentally truthful slips of the tongue. I hope for his sake that he listens to his true feelings. He's fun to mock and I don't excuse his misdeeds but at heart I feel pretty sorry for anyone in that position--indoctrinated, threatened, undoubtedly under pressure from family and probably held in some contempt by all sides. Bottom line, he is what he does.

    Tommy Davis' quote was very powerful as is. You undermine your own position by cheaply clipping off the "if" and pretending the quote was a declarative instead of a hypothetical statement. The truth will bury Scientology. Stop muddying the waters with pseudo-quotes presented out of context.

    Tommy Davis is probably the kind of person who believes whatever he thinks is in his best interests, as long as he remains a Scientologist and their spokesperson it is in his best interest to believe and promote that LRH is a war hero who was injured in combat.

    ALL OF THE PUBLIC was talking about this article at our raid today. Probs a side effect of protesting in the Yuppie Central of Washington DC, but oh my god. EVERYBODY read it. Including the blind guy. This was huge.

    I believe this is in reference to Travolta being horrified that Haggis sent out his letter stating he was done with Scientology.

    What's fascinating is that the Daily Mail (UK) deleted the allegations of inurement

    Tom enjoys the power & notoriety of his position & status and is almost willing to do anything to maintain it.

    Has it been updated with the FBI investigation news?

    I believe the palm for the Purple Heart is for stubing your toe in the invasion of Clearwater. Or maybe for shooting your foot while shelling Mexico.

    By jove you're right sir, "inurement" has been disappeared! Did they partly cave in to threatening legal letters or did they just revise it because the average Daily Fail reader won't even know what "inurement" means? ;)

    If the original article suggested that the FBI was investigating Scientology for inurement, it would've just been incorrect; such an investigation would fall to the IRS.

    I would imagine a Carter-Ruck Legal threat persuaded them to amend the article.
