Deep Dive
L. Ron Hubbard, after years of evading laws, aimed to create a Scientology city in Clearwater, Florida. Despite the city being occupied by non-Scientologists, Hubbard initiated "Operation Gold Mine" to acquire properties and establish the church's presence. His plan involved covert tactics and manipulation to gain control.
- Hubbard targeted Clearwater, Florida as the location for the Scientology "Mecca".
- He used the Southern Land Development Corporation and United Churches of Florida as front organizations to purchase properties.
- Hubbard's plan, "Operation Normandy", involved identifying and manipulating local opinion leaders and uncovering their enemies' secrets.
- A reporter investigating the church became a target of Hubbard's smear campaign.
