Everything they had tried against her had failed to stop her. Having her arrested. Spreading spurious slander about her sexual history. Filing multiple lawsuits against her written works. Posing as close friends to get intimate information about her plans. Breaking into her college psychiatrist’s office to obtain her records. Tapping her phone. Obscene phone calls and pornography mailed to her. Even trying to compromise her father’s business. Nothing had worked. Paulette was still corresponding with people about Scientology, still helping other journalists, still trading information with Nan McLean. Still talking to law enforcement or anyone else who might take on the organization. L. Ron Hubbard was trying to re-establish himself and his management of Scientology in the United States. And it was in the U.S that he had been unable to neutralize Scientology’s single biggest enemy. It made his blood boil. Hubbard wanted, once and for all, to destroy this petite brunette living in New York by hitting her with a multi-pronged assault that had been dubbed Operation Freakout.
