In the much-repeated story of Xenu, Xenu was overthrown by the 'Loyal Officers'. In his later life Hubbard was served by 'messengers' who were sexually precocious teenage girls. Some accounts have Hubbard's death as similar to Cling the Lofty's condition prior to Heller's rescue.<br /><br />They say Sylvia Plath was putting out 10 poems a day before she killed herself, and that Philip K Dick wrote a million-word epic called 'Exegesis'. It would appear that in some cases madness can cause writers to produce great works. 'Mission Earth', as anyone who's not utterly brainwashed can work out within seconds, is not one of them.Citizen Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551943900464131687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196163935457463870.post-27166573231536802282014-04-01T16:31:09.865-05:002014-04-01T16:31:09.865-05:00Surely this is your April Fool's joke on us, I...Surely this is your April Fool's joke on us, I mean nobody could write that badly-- oh wait, this was Hubbard, never mind.Bob Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618128770585330516noreply@blogger.com
