2 And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. … Scripture reference – IV Esr.: 7:36; Gn.: 19:28
3 And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 7:1, 3!; Ezek.: 9:6
5 And it was given unto them that they should not kill them: but that they should torment them five months. [2] And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days, men shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall desire to die: and death shall fly from them. … Scripture reference – Job: 3:2
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle. And on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men. … Scripture reference – Joel: 2:4
8 And they had hair as the hair of women: and their teeth were as lions. … Scripture reference – Joel: 1:6
9 And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron: and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle. … Scripture reference – Joel: 2:5
10 And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over them … Scripture reference – Rev.: 9:19

12 One woe is past: and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 11:14
13 ¶ And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before the eyes of God, … Scripture reference – Rev.: 8:7!
14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, [4] and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them.
17 And thus [5] I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents and have heads: and with them they hurt. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 9:10
20 And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 2:21; 16:9;Dan.: 5:23
21 Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 2:21; 16:11

When L. Ron Hubbard unleashed Dianetics upon the unsuspecting world in May of 1950 he claimed that this “New Science of the Mind,” was good for just about anything that was ailing the human condition. By removing painful prior mental conditions known as “engrams,” that were stored in the “reactive mind,” your IQ could be raised, you would never suffer accidents or colds, you could, by the sheer power of your mind remove cancer or other sorts of serious physical conditions. In other words you would be a truly rational person with a mental powerhouse. Before the upper level “Operating Thetan” or “OT” courses were released, this status, that went by the name, “Clear,” was the coveted end result of Dianetics and Scientology. All efforts were directed at being “Clear” as students from all over the world descended up the heretofore undistinguished village of East Grinstead.
But “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” as they say. How did these first “Clears,” courtesy of St. Hill Manor, East Grinstead, England, fare? Did they win Nobel Prizes? Were their lives free of the usual petty problems like divorce, the need for money, possible addiction problems that led to drug addiction and alcoholism? How was their health? Did Clears live a lot longer with their disease free lives than ordinary folk? What about eyesight? Hubbard said they should be able to do away with their glasses as their eye sight would improve from auditing. People with these abilities would certainly stick out, in fact they might be hard to hide with abilities like that. Their positive contribution to society would have been noted and lauded.
So just how did they fare? Here is some research based upon existing lists besides some research on my own. Here are the great products of Scientology. Oh, you had better know what the term “Suppressive Person,” or “SP” means in Scientology. An SP is an anti-social person who hates all that is good and by their very nature are destructive. Hubbard claimed that these types constituted only two-and-a-half percent of the population. A person deemed suppressive would receive a notice printed upon a particular color paper, goldenrod, that would list all of the various crimes against humanity and Scientology that this person committed. Such a notice would be hung on all Scientology bulletin boards. One would think that among the altruistic people taking Scientology courses such a dire finding would be extremely rare.

So, out of the first hundred “Clears” an astonishing number, 52, were vile enemies of humanity. So Saith the Great L. Ron Hubbard. Nor is there any record of extreme longevity in this group. Granted, these clears were made a good many years ago, yet the ones who have passed on were, if anything, on the younger side of mortality expectations. It also looks like these important people were bypassed by fame and fortune. There are no great captains of industry here, or great artists or thinkers or scientists of any sort. All in all in is a pretty tame bunch considering what was expected of them.
To read more on Dianetics, Clears and early Scientology read Jeff Jacobsen’s “The Hubbard is Bare.”
* Hubbard’s first attempt at producing a Clear was a ghastly failure. This from the Wikipedia,
“There are several conflicting accounts of who first attained the state of Clear, and under what circumstances. In August 1950, amidst the success of Dianetics, Hubbard held a demonstration in Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium where he presented a young woman called Sonya Bianca (a pseudonym) to a large audience including many reporters and photographers as ‘the world’s first Clear.’ However, despite Hubbard’s claim that she had “full and perfect recall of every moment of her life”, Bianca proved unable to answer questions from the audience testing her memory and analytical abilities, including the question of the color of Hubbard’s tie.”
