"The bead of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 95,OOO,OOO years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet - 178 billion on average) by mass implanting.. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged". His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants."

So begins L. Ron Hubbard's great revelation about why we are now supposedly infested with invisible aliens called Bodythetans which need to be expensively exorcised so that we can achieve those fabulous OT powers.

"In December 1967 I know someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful. One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.

One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small."

But did the tomato-torturer really take the plunge, or did he steal the idea?

In 1965, a California TV repairman named Sid Patrick claimed an 'alien abduction' experience. His was not the first, there had been stories such as those of Barney and Betty Hill in 1962. Patrick said that he had been walking along a beach at night when he saw a low-flying egg-shaped object. He was invited on board where he met a crew of people of both sexes with dark 'short but uncut looking' hair, pointed chins and long thin fingers. They were insectoid, from 'an unseen world at the back of one we do see'. The leader gave his name, but it was nothing more than a buzzing sound, variously transcribed as Zno, Zienna or Zeno.

So the fat fraud probably just copied the name from a supermarket tabloid.

John *** "Body Thetans are just Thetans. When you get rid of one he goes off and possibly squares around, picks up a body or admires daisies. He is in fact a sort of cleared Being. He cannot fail to eventually, if not at once, regain many abilities. Many have been asleep for the last 75,000,000 years. A body Thetan responds to any process any Thetan responds to." - L. Ron Hubbard ***
