IF CHARLIE HADN’T EXISTED, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE HAD TO INVENT HIM


The secret words are Healter and Skelter

Speaking of Mr. Hubbard, Charlie Manson is shown in various records to have attended more than 150 hrs of scientology training before deciding they were TOO DAMN CRAZY. He later went on to found a moderately successful apocalyptic acid cult (in case you're unfamiliar with his work) which, while not being an exactly wholesome expression of 'the creeping-crawling-crazies,' (which commonly becomes epidemic toward the end of any period of rapidly expanding social liberty) it certainly beats out the whole "Xanthor, mighty space lord of the exploding-volcano-alien-ghost-penal-colony-bodysnatchers theory of human foibles," at least in the strictly linear thinking department.
So the question then becomes, "DID someone create Manson?...and...could it have been L. Ron Hubbard?"
I mean, what if his thetans were, uh, low on ectoplasm, or, um, ya know, something like that?
Sorta like an "if Hitler had stayed in art school" type scenario.
But I'm just rambling now.
