An Overview of Scientology - Scientology Research Project Index

Wise Old Goat searching in the looking-glass

Scientology® Research Project
Index

Composed of studies that have been instigated since basically March 2003. The original objective reached its completion near the end of 2007. Since that time the studies continued to be updated, corrected, polished up and extended upon. A last 2 unexpected although vitally necessary treatises saw their release in respectively August 2010 and August 2012. Today, since September 2012, this research project is essentially a completed work as its aim has been accomplished. It offers a total of 1541 pages of information if printed, and 241 pop-up windows (another +500 pages if printed).

The range of the topics addressed is very wide. However that which has turned to be a ‘backbone’ of my research is the timeline/chronology found at “The whereabouts of L. Ron Hubbard” (see at “6. ‘New Order’ or ‘New World Order’ concept project”). A simple culmination of and a holding up of most of the other topics tackled at an earlier date and that effectively puts matters into place. The ultimate purpose for publishing all these researches is for the sake of education, the killing of rumours, clearing up a large array of misconceptions, and opposing deliberate mispresentations. With 2 final valuable evaluations released as “Analysis of HCOB 24 Jan 77 ‘Tech Correction Round-up’” & “Overview of Tech changes during 1978-82 versus A lost Bridge”.

This Scientology Research Project has been written in the English language, however various persons have taken the initiative to translate various parts of my pages into other languages. I have made these available or direct to them in an ‘International section - Translations’ page.
