Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
Dr. Emmett Brown, Back to the Future

Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew.
William Shakespeare

This article is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of Ashton Gray’s soon-to-be released exposé, Stargate: The Hoax, a continuation of his groundbreaking and highly acclaimed book, Watergate: The Hoax, currently on sale.

An overwhelming preponderance of well documented evidence militates toward a conclusion that the natural person named L. Ron Hubbard was abducted from the Villa Laure in Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972, by agents of the Central Intelligence Agency, in collusion with Morocco’s King Hassan II; with Hassan II’s Defense Minister, General Mohamed Oufkir; and with Commonwealth Five-Eyes infiltrators inside the inner circles of Scientology’s Sea Organization who had collaborated with the CIA (through cutouts), with Oufkir, and with some of Oufkir’s Muslim henchmen to set up the abduction. [Please see the first book in this two-book series, Watergate: The Hoax, for the full story of the abduction and the events that led to it. —Ed.]

Hubbard, for all practical purposes, had melted, thawed, resolved into a dew. He was gone, whereabouts unknown. Whether Hubbard had been murdered, or had been kept alive, but subjected to a variety of psychiatric “treatments” such as drugs, electroshock, or even psychosurgery by the CIA, is beyond the reach of this investigative report, but should be the subject of a criminal investigation by the United States and the World Court. There is no statute of limitations for such crimes.

If you are scratching your head about now wondering why in the world the CIA would have wanted to kill or permanently incapacitate L. Ron Hubbard in 1972, then you haven’t read the Introduction and the Preface to this book, and you certainly haven’t read the 600-page first book of this two-book series—Watergate: The Hoax—which lays out in documented detail all the groundwork, motives, means, and opportunities leading up to Hubbard’s disappearance in late May of 1972.

The short-blurb version is that by 1971 the CIA was hell bent on stealing Hubbard’s secret Operating Thetan (OT) technology for military espionage purposes in their raging Cold War mania to beat the Soviets in the fields of parapsychology, and there was no other way possible to steal it but to eliminate Hubbard—and anyone else who got in their way. Hubbard also had been repeatedly exposing and foiling the barbaric atrocities in mind-control, brainwashing, and drug experiments that had been being carried out since at least the early 1950s by the so-called “Intelligence Community.”

There is no way possible to condense Watergate: The Hoax here, but this book is a continuation of that work, and so it must of necessity revisit a compressed version of events in Morocco and elsewhere that followed Hubbard’s disappearance.

That’s where we stand now: 28 May 1972. And we find that we stand at a fork in the road. A signpost points down one of the two roads:

“The Official Story—The Hideaway Hubbard”

Down that road L. Ron Hubbard supposedly is alive and in command and control of Scientology and the Sea Org, but always “in hiding,” kept only in the company of a small cadre of allegedly “trusted” Sea Org members and a handful of lawyers, all the way through 24 January 1986—the date of his reported “official” death.

The “L. Ron Hubbard” that appears on that “Official Story” road is a bizarre caricature of the man who founded Scientology. He is described often by these “trusted” Sea Org members—who claim to have been with him—as a man scurrying around in disguises and becoming an eccentric recluse. It may not surprise you to learn that everything we know about this post-28 May 1972 version of “Hubbard”—everything—comes from one and only one source: uncorroborated, undocumented, anecdotal “confessions” of the handful of infiltrators surrounding him, all of whom later became public vocal “critics,” most of whom became “sources” for the smear books on Hubbard, many of whom are our “History-Makers of Morocco.” The following list is inclusive, not exclusive, but they consist mainly of:

Amos Jessup Son of John Jessup, a senior executive of the Time/Life conglomerate, which at all relevant times was a major mouthpiece of CIA’s Operation Mockingbird.
Janis Grady nee Janis Gillham, long-time Commodore’s Messenger. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Terri Gamboa nee Terri Gillham, formerly Terri Armstrong, long-time Commodore’s Messenger. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Gerry Armstrong a member of the Sea Org who was in key positions with Hubbard in Morocco, then went on to be an alleged “biographer” of Hubbard. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Gale Irwin nee Gale Reisdorf, long-time Commodore’s Messenger. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Diana Reisdorf also known as Dede Reisdorf, long-time Commodore’s Messenger. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Kenneth Urquhart long-time Personal Communicator to L. Ron Hubbard (LRH Pers Comm). Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Jim Dincalci “medical officer” to L. Ron Hubbard. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Kima Douglas nee Churchill, a.k.a. Kima Dunleavy. Claimed at times to have been the “medical officer” to L. Ron Hubbard when Jim Dincalci wasn’t holding that position. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
Elizabeth Gablehouse nee Elizabeth Ausley, a.k.a. Liz Gablehouse or Liz Ausley, a.k.a “Kit,” a Sea Org member who reportedly was on a mission in Rabat, Morocco, at relevant times conducting public relations with several highly placed officials of Hassan II’s government. Another alias, in one smear book on Hubbard, may have been “Elena Lorrel,” but she would neither confirm nor deny when contacted.
Andre Tabayoyon a “former” member of the US Marine Corps who had been trained in “brainwashing and coercive persuasion techniques”—known to have been the province of the CIA mind-control programs—prior to service in Vietnam. Tabayoyon reportedly was serving as “butler and steward” to L. Ron Hubbard at Villa Laure in Tangier at relevant times, during part of which time—we learned through service records—he was still in service with the US government.
Sylvia Calhoun a long-time Personal Public Relations Officer for Hubbard (LRH Pers PRO), says that she had left the Scientology flagship Apollo and Morocco at the beginning of May 1972.
Norman Starkey Captain of the Scientology flagship Apollo at relevant times, later being named as executor to L. Ron Hubbard’s estate. Starkey was the pivotal person who helped non-Scientologist lawyers gain control of Hubbard’s intellectual property, and dump it all into a phony corporation called the Church of Spiritual Technology—controlled by those same lawyers—which Starkey helped to create. Claimed to have been with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.
David Mayo one of a small group of people who was very close to L. Ron Hubbard at the time he disappeared from Morocco. Claimed to have been traveling and working directly with L. Ron Hubbard at critical times for years after his disappearance from Tangier, Morocco, on or about 28 May 1972.

These and others we will meet anon, but for now, another signpost points down the other of the two paths at this fork in the road:

“Hubbard Eliminated”

Essentially the exact same events and scenes and personnel appear on this road as on the other. The difference, though, is that down this road we know that everything done and attributed to “L. Ron Hubbard” was actually done by somebody other than the natural person L. Ron Hubbard, acting in his name, using his authority within Scientology to tear down the original structure of Scientology organizations, to alter the philosophy itself, to implement heinous programs paralleling CIA-developed mind-control techniques, and to pervert everything that L. Ron Hubbard originally developed—while of course calling it “Scientology” in order to create outrage and hatred of Hubbard and Scientology among the public.

If we go down this road, though, we cannot possibly escape the likelihood of meeting a look-alike for L. Ron Hubbard, a decoy—sometimes called a double, a ringer, an imposter, or a doppelgänger—such as the one used for Jamal Khashoggi, and many other such doubles used for a parade of people down through history, which I covered in the Preface to this book.

We have the unenviable task now of traveling both roads at the same time. Luckily, they are exactly parallel and close together, so to hell with roads: We’ll make our own path between them.

We start this part of the journey on Memorial Day, 29 May 1972, the day after Hubbard disappeared from Morocco. It’s the same day that G. Gordon Liddy claims he showed Polaroids to Jeb Magruder in DC of shag carpet—which could not possibly have been taken inside DNC headquarters, if any Polaroids existed at all, and they didn’t—in order to “prove” that there had been a break-in at DNC headquarters the night before.

There was no “first break-in” at DNC headquarters that long weekend at all. In fact, Liddy, along with CIA veterans E. Howard Hunt and James McCord, almost certainly had been in Morocco, overseeing and carrying out the abduction of L. Ron Hubbard with the knowledge and help of Hassan II, Oufkir, and some combination of the treasonous “trusted” Sea Org members close to Hubbard, all while the Watergate “Cuban Contingent” put on a big fraudulent show in Washington, DC, to pretend that Liddy, Hunt, and McCord were in DC when they weren’t. Then, with Hubbard out of the way, on Memorial Day 1972:

Monday, 29 May 1972
On the very day after L. Ron Hubbard disappears from Tangier, Morocco, Scientology OT VII Ingo Swann supposedly is told by Dr. Karlis Osis (of the American Psychological Association) at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York that there were to be “no more remote viewing experiments at the ASPR.” Swann himself had coined the term “remote viewing” in late 1971, while doing experiments with the ASPR. According to Swann, he was “furious” and stomped off after a “heated argument.”

The only account we have of this alleged incident is a completely uncorroborated anecdotal claim, this one by Swann himself. As the first book covers thoroughly, Swann was already connected with the CIA by this point.

Where do you think Swann might have immediately gone?

If you guessed to telephone Scientology OT VII Hal Puthoff, you might have a future as a detective. And if you guessed that Swann was about to leave New York and fly off to join Puthoff (and of course the CIA) at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), you may be almost psychic.

Sunday, 4 June 1972
Ingo Swann lands in San Francisco, where he is met by Puthoff and taken to SRI.

Tuesday, 6 June 1972
Ingo Swann mentally (or spiritually) affects the super-cooled magnetometer encased in solid concrete five feet beneath the Varian Hall of Physics at Stanford. The startling event is witnessed by Dr. Arthur Hebard, Dr. Marshal Lee, and by six “doctoral candidates,” supposedly students of Dr. Hebard. The implications are terrifying, because it indicates the possibility that someone with such abilities could remotely detonate a nuclear bomb.

Anyone who believes at this point that no CIA representatives were present at this historic event really should go find a good comic book—or coloring book. In fact, the CIA’s own publication, Studies in Intelligence, blatantly admitted in 1977 that the CIA not only was involved, but had set the experiment up for Ingo Swann, implementing their own strict controls. In the CIA’s account of this event, they made damned sure that Swann’s name was not used, calling him only “a man,” because at the time, nobody knew Swann was working with the CIA, which would have been disastrous:

A man [it was Ingo Swann] was found by Targ and Puthoff who apparently had psychokinetic abilities. He was taken on a surprise visit to a super-conducting shielded magnetometer being used in quark (high energy particle) experiments by Dr. A. Hebbard of Stanford University Physics Department. The quark experiment required that the magnetometer be as well shielded as technology would allow. Nevertheless, when the subject placed his attention on the interior of the magnetometer, the output signal was visibly disturbed, indicating a change in the internal magnetic field. Several other correlations of his mental efforts with signal variations were observed. These variations in the magnetometer were never seen before or after the visit. The event was summarized and transmitted to the Agency in the form of a letter to an OSI analyst and as discussions with OTS and ORD officers.
SOURCE: Kenneth Kress [likely a pseudonym], “Parapsychology in Intelligence: A Personal Review,” Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 21, No. 4, Winter 1977, Central Intelligence Agency.

Of course even in “confessing” this account, the CIA—being the CIA—lied in the first sentence by claiming that their connection with Swann was because he had been “found by Targ and Puthoff.” That’s a damnable lie. The CIA had been covertly working with Swann through their cutouts since at least as early as September 1971, when Swann had worked with CIA contractor Cleve Backster at his lab in New York City, and most likely earlier, when Swann was conducting experiments in telekinesis with Dr. Gertrude Schmeidler at City College in New York, as covered thoroughly in the first book of this series.

This CIA account quoted above does make one vital revelation, though: One of the primary interest of the CIA at the time was not just “remote viewing;” it was also a deep and abiding obsession with telekinesis. More to come.
