At Sea Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hope we get a Xenu livery for the Scientologists!🕵️♀️ "...Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of psychiatrists, he gathered billions of his citizens under the pretence of income tax inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). The appearance of these spacecraft would later be subconsciously expressed in the design of the Douglas DC-8, the only difference being; "the DC8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't". When they had reached Teegeeack, the paralyzed citizens were off-loaded, and placed around the bases of volcanoes across the planet. Hydrogen bombs were then lowered into the volcanoes and detonated simultaneously,[8] killing all but a few aliens. Hubbard described the scene in his film script, Revolt in the Stars" 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would these billions of citizens not flock eagerly to have their income taxes inspected by a psychiatrist? Completely plausible. All of it. (Is this really what Tom Cruise believes?!)

And my shelves are already sagging from the weight of Minicraft DC-8s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho590hm Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Producer accepts Paypal direct to [email protected] after placing your order on the website so that you have an order number to quote. Someone on airlinercafe.com has validated this. I sent my order this evening and got an immediate response of shipping tomorrow at a price of $36 plus $10 shipping. Cheaper than EE price AFAIK Will let you know if any glitches. Howard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
