Jamie Kennedy, slam poet, writer, and self-described "asshole," is thegreat-grandson of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology. Notthat the Scientologists want you to know that.] [ [http://www.myspace.com/jamiedewolf Official MySpace promotional page] , Jamie DeWolf, retrieved February 6, 2007.
Jamie's great grandfather on his mother's side is the infamous L. Ron Hubbard, sci fi author and the creator of the cult of Scientology, who passed down his red hair and knack for inspiring mass insanity. DeWolf's critical poem about his genetic legacy titled 'Judas Son' led to fierce battles with the cult and resulted in DeWolf becoming the Master of Ceremonies at the first ever anti-Scientology benefit concert in Clearwater, Florida in 2000.] DeWolf told the "San Francisco Chronicle" in 2001 that his mother and girlfriend were visited by Scientology agents, who asked about his comments on Scientology in his poetry and his appearance at a November 2000 benefit for the Lisa McPherson Trust in Clearwater, Floridacite news

One Hubbard ancestor who could be tracked down was Jamie Kennedy, the grandson of Ronald DeWolf, making Kennedy Hubbard's great-grandson. Kennedy, 23, lives in Vallejo and is a nationally recognized slam poet. He said his mother and ex-girlfriend have been visited by Scientology agents asking about his references to Scientology in his poems and his decision to appear at an anti-Scientology benefit last November. ] . The poetry piece was titled: "Judas' Son". Initially, the Scientology agents told DeWolf's mother that they were fellow poets, but DeWolf later remarked: "My mom knew from the moment they started talking that they were Scientologists, which they admitted to." DeWolf was quoted as saying: "They can't shut me up." Of his own views on Scientology and his great-grandfather, DeWolf remarked in the "East Bay Express": "Scientology is the most brilliantly engineered pyramid scam I've ever seen. L.Ron Hubbard -- you can never say that he was an idiot, by any means. He wasvery intelligent, very sort of evil, malicious; a sort of overman, his willagainst the world."
