Summary Report

Because where it's headed is not just the full recovery of the books but so much more including literally discovering lost tech, and I do mean hidden from view, that surrounds these books.

So once again, the question: how does one lose tech? MISUNDERSTOODS. And whose were they? THE TRANSCRIPTIONIST’s. Yes, you heard me: the transcriptionist’s. And here is what I mean. With a lecture, you hear LRH and the words he said. In a policy letter, you read them as he hand-wrote or typed them. Yet the books, with only one exception, were dictated. Meaning, he spoke them into a tape recorder and they were typed by a transcriptionist. You get LRH’s words as he or she relayed them, and when that person had a misunderstood, you get this: distortions, alterations and perversions, some little, some huge, but every one of them – a hang up for the reader, and that’s why I said you can look up every single word in one of these book and still not get it because when you track it out across the entire LRH library, you get such alterations as entirely missing chapters; total garbles; parts of the text specifically said to be deleted by LRH but left in anyway causing complete mystery; transcription errors whereby LRH dictates a sentence and then replaces it with another, but the transcriptionist was too lazy to go back and correct it leaving both sentences in the book. And if that’s not enough, take your “garden variety” transcription error where the typist isn’t sure whether they should punctuate with a period, colon, or a comma and in almost every instance deciding to go with a happy medium and using a semicolon – a total “maybe” and resulting in sentences, indeed paragraphs, where you don’t know where the sentence begins or ends. Now let’s add an editor, who instead of now correcting it decides to add his own clarifying footnotes to explain what LRH really meant or, through sloppiness, misplacing pages and lord knows what else – mixes up the chapters so some are not only in the wrong sequence, but entire chapters appear in the middle of another chapter, and that’s just the beginning of the list which explains why you’ll even if sometimes found LRH saying: “see later text” and yet the text never appears, or he refers to a process with a statement: “as described earlier” yet which never really did appear earlier, and if you don’t remember any of these examples from the books, that only makes my point – YOU WENT TOTALLY BLANK!

And if that’s a sampling, I assure you it’s not even a half of it, then again you can be just as certain that I wouldn’t be standing here telling you this unless each and every alteration, and I do mean every distortion, perversion, and alteration has now been corrected.

"... Now let’s add an editor, who instead of now correcting it decides to add his own clarifying footnotes to explain what LRH really meant... "

There are practically NO clarifying footnotes in any of the original publications. The overwhelming amount of footnotes throughout the books appeared in the first batch of distorted books released within a few years following the official death of the Founder in 1986. This is the time when David Miscavige was already taking hold of the organization as its new leader. Specifically, the excessive number of footnotes that Miscavige flashed on the screen for Advanced Procedure and Axioms was from 1989 edition copyrighted under "L. Ron Hubbard Library" [ISBN: 0-88404-419-X].
