Hubbard's text is a relative copy of the 1953, best-selling, non-fiction book "Brain-washing in Red China" by famed journalist Edward Hunter. This text is also listed in "They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes...", where the true author is identified as "the notorious founder of Scientology." Hubbard sent the material to the FBI, and one unidentified, FBI agent gave this review: " appears mental." When the FBI ignored him, Hubbard wrote again stating that Soviet agents had, on three occasions, attempted to hire him to work against the United States, and were upset about his refusal, and that one agent specifically attacked him using electroshock as a weapon.
