And it is pretty obviously referring to 1992 current events. To modern readers L. Bob Rife is just a funny villain, but he was obviously a parody of 1992 outsider US Presidential Candidate H. Ross Perot.

Oh. To this modern reader, L. Bob Rife was just an obvious parody of L. Ron Hubbard.
But he wasn't a Texan, so I suppose I see your angle. Interesting bit of flavor.
