Subject: M-I: Posadist League


	As Lou P. indicates, I am indeed the author of the Posadist 
League denunciation of the film "Independence Day" -- a vile attack on 
our space comrades.  For as J. Posadas showed some years ago, the 
appearance of flying saucers proves that socialism has been achieved on 
other planets, since capitalism could never build up the productive 
forces necessary for interstellar travel.  Those interested in Posadas's 
work will be glad to know that his British comrades (there may have been 
up to ten of them) translated the old man's work into English.  There are 
copies of several of the prolific theorist's works in the Library of 
Congress.  I am not, in other words, making this up.

	What Lou forgot to mention was that the League's manifesto 
angered one serious P-ist.  On the other hand, I had at least two 
requests to join the League.  And I am not making that up, either.
