We may never know. It's probably a fake name.
There's a blog out there. (lack of caps is theirs)
free to find truth: 33| Tracy Morgan's "6 car crash...."
That's the BLOG name, including the Tracy Morgan bit. As if someone was trying to make a post title and got lost. The use of the number 33 and the Free to Find Truth title is certainly Hubbardesque. The blog address is different, freetofinthetruth.blogspot.com. The author is listed as "Asple Kumar". It was only updated in February 2015, then abandoned. Some of the posts are copied and pasted directly from Hubbard's blog.
I was thinking this was Hubbard backing up his information, but further investigation clouds the issue. Asple has another blog with a similar address to "The Melody Lilly Show" and includes some Swahili phrases, celebrity photos and absolutely no numerology.
What does this mean, here in regards to gematria?
Considering the limited entertainment value one could get from spoofing another blog my guess is that these are attempts to hijack page views. Perhaps if enough traffic hits and the blog is monetized there would be some financial gain. Unlikely though, it's a lot of effort for some pennies.
Is it really Hubbard? That's doubtful.
I just don't know. But it's out there.
The reason it gets a nod here is more evidence of how painful was it is to spread misinformation on the Internet. Make a fake account. Say whatever you want. The comment sections of gematria videos are a breeding ground for fake activity. I can easily find multiple accounts that have numerous subscribers with absolutely no content on their playlists. The nonsense phrases including misspellings on gematrix and gematriacalculator just couldn't be searched by that many people. 7 1/2 million views on Hubbard's blog? Oh, please. You can buy views and subscribers through the internet. Another standard trick I've seen is creating a troll to argue with so you can win the debate.
You pretty much can't trust anything you read. Unless you research. And it's much easier for the conspiracy theorists to accept anything ridiculous that's said if it fits in to their biased, predetermined view. Sandy Hook closed since 2008? Sounds good to me! Even though it's just not true.
Another reason to bring this up now - another critic has been a victim of Hubbard's delete key for posting on his Manson video. He called it unsportsmanlike. But it's expected when the target is scientifically not credible and the author ca bypass the key phase of the scientific method, holding up to public scrutiny. That scrutiny will be unavoidable once it's off the net and put in book form. Imagine trying to defend that deleted comment from the last post, or anything about 22/7 equaling Pi, if you can't recall the book and delete the inaccuracies. The book will do more damage than good after you sell a few copies to the hardcore followers. I double dog dare you to finish putting it out.
Which leads back to Asple. If your going to start off, start small. Where I worked last someone taking receipts was caught "lapping", a pyramid scheme where stolen funds are juggled between multiple accounts. He was caught because the bank reconciliations never worked. After sifting through his activity it was found the first theft was less than five dollars. Test the waters. See if you get away with it. If Asple was doing that, don't you think if 7.5 million page views really meant anything he'd still be updating the spoof blog? Just like claims of half a million views on videos that evil Google deleted, you probably would be a lot better off showing a more credible, modest number of views instead of an obviously inflated number.
