Great analogy! When we got scared watching an episode on Twighlight Zone, we turned off the TV. When l see the insane commercials promoting the COVID jab or any of the 72 shots that are supposed to be given to young kids up to age 5, or pharma commercials with insane side effects, l turn off the TV. Well, maybe that is called burying your head in the sand. My grandfather once told me, when someone would not listen to reason, "Let them believe a lie. You know the truth and that is all that matters."

There have been these TZ eras throughput history, unfortunately they all ended badly for everyone but more so the bad guys, because human nature is indelible and permanent, and ultimately cannot be defeated by anti human actions and ideas such as are being forced on us by the evil ones and the weak minded and psychologically damaged people who subjugate themselves. The next 6-8 years are going to be rough, but normal humans will ultimately prevail. God’s blessings to all those who continue to resist and fight back.

My thoughts exactly. Seems we are in the movie Idiocracy meets The Twilight Zone. Proof and reasoning are met with insults or separation. They don't want to be associated with the crazy 🤪 person.

Thank you Doc for putting this out in essay form it's a really helpful way for us to try to find a way to stay grounded in reality even as we are experiencing a marathon of The Twilight Zone in real-time

US members of Congress tend to be psychopaths and probably most US presidents have been psychopaths. The US people would not vote for them if they weren't psychopaths. This is probably why the US, until Trump, was such a warmongering country, leaving behind up to an estimated one million butchered civilians in its wake in Iraq alone. Before Trump, just about everything the US touched turned to death for the foreign races that the US sees as racially inferior untermenschen.

Perhaps because the US is led by, and votes for, so many evil psychopaths, it could benefit from being cleaned up by a "good psychopath." It is possibly for this reason that, although I do like The Twilight Zone analogy, I would prefer Dexter to sort things out.

Washington, D.C.: the Psychopath Capital of America. A new study ranks each state, plus D.C., by their psychopathic tendencies. The race for first? It isn’t even close.

Thanks again for supporting my Substack, Dr. Alexander. I keep writing that all the large and IMPORTANT organizations are "completely captured." I should note, however, that Substack is not completely captured and is very important to the resistance that does exist. I just wish this speech platform was far more important than it is. The people and organizations that matter pretty much ignore and dismiss the contrarian Substack authors - who are, largely, the only group that's doing real journalism and important research.

The fact well-known Substack authors like yourself are willing to use your platform and audience to promote other Substack authors speaks very highly of you.

If we are all living through a "Twilight Zone" episode, at least we can find plenty of other people that we know have also seen the same things and made the same observations. In the Twilight Zone episodes, it was usually just one character who realized something was "not right." These people were isolated and felt even more crazy because they were almost completely alone. At least thanks to Substack, this is not the case in our New Normal. Many people have probably kept their sanity because they realize they/we are not alone.

All of this said, I still worry that Substack is probably on the "target list" of the Censorship Industrial Complex.

The only way to get out, is to use technology to give us the power back. Oh, and neuter the Capitalist class so they never again can take over our governments:

I recall reading sometime over recent years’ twilight existence that Rod’s daughter said her father knew of the nefarious real world underpinnings that served as material for the series.

Get out of the Zone, what for, accountability?

Absolutely 100% agree. I feel a

I am living amongst zombies just like in John Carpenters movie “They Live” where the obvious is right in front of you but no one can see it unless they are wearing their special glasses 👓 . I’ve been feeling this way since 2008 when the masses were under the influence of the snake oil salesman for 8 years.

People like their illusions :(
