Sci-Fi Writer Sues Bush: You Guys Stole My End of the World Story (satire)
Sci-Fi Writer Sues Bush: You Guys Stole My End of the World Story Satire by R J Shulman 29 Sep 2008

OLD LYME, Connecticut – (PTSD News) Simon Le Bovier, a popular science fiction writer best known for The Village Idiot Chronicles, filed a lawsuit against the Bush administration for stealing the ideas from his book, Masters of the End Times. "They not only stole the story, they’ve put it into action."

Le Bovier claims that a hacker broke into his computer in 1999 and stole the Masters manuscript. He says he thought nothing of it at the time.

In the book, a madman gets a moron from a well connected political family elected president of the most powerful and benevolent nation on the planet Thear, because he convinces people they need a leader they feel they could drink a beer with. The madman runs things of course, because he picks himself as the vice president. He gets the people to give up their freedom by staging a "terrorist" attack on a national symbol of its strength and warning them that their Constitutional freedoms are quaint and need to be scuttled if they want to win the war on terror. The madman then launches several wars, declares martial law, suspends future elections and ultimately causes a life-ending nuclear war, all because he believes it will bring the return of a messiah who is the only being who can relieve the madman from his self-torture that has almost eaten away his mind.
