THE OBSOLETE MAN IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE

This video is a scene from The Twilight Zone episode “The Obsolete Man“.  It is a commentary on how governments destroy the individual, independent intelligence of writers, and other “revolutionaries” who are a huge percentage of the population of Prison Planet Earth.

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” ~ Rod Serling (December 25, 1924 – June 28, 1975)

Rod Serling (creator of the 1960’s Sci-Fi TV series “The Twilight Zone“) was a fan of pulp fiction stories. As an adult, he sought topics with themes such as racism, government, war, society, and human nature in general. Serling decided to combine these two interests as a way to broach these subjects on television at a time when such issues were not commonly addressed.

Serling was active in politics, both on and off the screen, and helped form television industry standards. He was known as the “angry young man” of Hollywood, clashing with television executives and sponsors over a wide range of issues including censorship, racism, and war.

Throughout the 1950s, Serling established himself as one of the most popular names in television. He was as famous for writing televised drama as he was for criticizing the medium’s limitations. His most vocal complaints concerned censorship, which was frequently practiced by sponsors and networks.

“I was not permitted to have my senators discuss any current or pressing problem,” he said of his 1957 production ‘The Arena’, intended to be an involving look into contemporary politics. To talk of tariff was to align oneself with the Republicans; to talk of labor was to suggest control by the Democrats. To say a single thing germane to the current political scene was absolutely prohibited.”

The Twilight Zone‍‍ ’​‍s writers frequently used science fiction as a vehicle for social comment, as networks and sponsors who censored controversial material from live dramas were less concerned with seemingly innocuous fantasy and sci-fi stories. Frequent themes on The Twilight Zone included nuclear war, McCarthyism, and mass hysteria, subjects that were avoided on more serious primetime television.  Aside from Rod Serling, who wrote or adapted nearly two-thirds of the series’ total episodes, writers for The Twilight Zone included leading authors such as Charles Beaumont, Ray Bradbury, Earl Hamner, Jr., George Clayton Johnson, Richard Matheson, Reginald Rose, and Jerry Sohl. Many episodes also featured new adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Jerome Bixby, Damon Knight, John Collier, and Lewis Padgett.

TRANSCEND TIME

The ageless Redwood forests in Northern California are the most serene place on Earth. More than 90% of the original trees — many more than 2,000 years old — where chopped down by private profiteers to satisfy the money lust of bankers.  They used the stolen trees to build houses for ignorant European immigrants who murdered and plundered the land and legacy of 100 million Indigenous Natives who had lived in harmony with Nature for untold thousands of years.   Alas, these immigrants are so selfish and stupid that when they die it is “illegal” to donate their dead body to be used as fertilizer for new growth in a timeless forest!  The Indigenous Natives and Redwood Forests are virtually extinct only 500 years after the European immigrants “discovered” them.  Soon, the banksters and private profiteers will slaughter the immigrants.  Good riddance to all….

POWER OF THE PYRAMIDS

A “false facade civilization” of pyramids, as described in the book Alien Interview, are scientifically revealed to be a fundamental part of the electronic forces that create an electronic “prison” surrounding Earth. Watch this well documented video by David Labay to understand how this works.

1,000 YEARS IN EUROPE

This is a review of the past 1,000 years of changes in the national borders in Europe as a result of the criminals and psychopaths who create warfare, political and economic chaos.  This created chaos also causes floods of refugees, fleeing war, rape, plunder and devastation. Lands are invaded, new conflicts are caused and the lives of the innocent are ruthlessly and repeatedly ruined.

TOUCH MAGIC

Claire North (a.k.a Catherine Webb and Kate Griffin) is a Wondrous Witch of Word Wizardry! Her books have to be read. No description or comment is worthwhile;  Magic is what it is…. Magical.

After reading her book “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August” I became an instant addict and life-long worshiper. Travel between past lives – without amnesia –  is not a familiar idea on Earth, but made all too real in this eloquently imagined and written masterwork.

“Touch” is a masterwork of insight, descriptive observations of spiritual phenomena that can be envisioned only as fiction. “Touch” describes the ability to instantaneously transfer oneself as a spiritual entity from one body to another — to possess and control it — without harming the “owner”. The reality of being a “ghost” with the ability to “jump” between bodies is told in the context of an exotic-murder-mystery-international-action-thriller that sets a new standard for the genre and for literature! As an enchanted fan of Clair North, I am “touched” and possessed!

ETERNAL

The Tao is infinite, eternal.  Why is it eternal?  It was never born: thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desire for itself; thus it is present for all beings.
