Art Communicates Wisdom Through Time–Stay Human
The writers for the old TV series, The Twilight Zone, were witnessing in real time the purposeful take-over of the American Government by what President Eisenhower described as “a Scientific, Technological Elite and Military Industrial Complex”. Before TV Broadcasting was fully captured by this ‘complex’, writers were still able to Inject Truth into the Popular Culture. This is a beautiful example of a Truth Message being placed into a recorded ‘time capsule’ for humans to receive decades later. We must heed the warnings of our ancestors who have seen the Progression of the Enemy and have instructed us on how to Resist it. Humans must also continue to inject warning messages into popular culture due to the fact that Popular Culture is the largest arena where Psychological Manipulation is employed.
Manufacturing Consent and Opinions takes place in Popular Culture more than anywhere else. See an example of the methods in a 1928 book, “Propaganda,” by Edward Bernays where he wrote that by understanding the group mind, it would be possible to manipulate people’s behavior without their even realizing it.
Twilight Zone Episode 65, this excerpt originally aired on June 2, 1961: The Obsolete Man
You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. This is Mr. Romney Wordsworth, in his last forty-eight hours on Earth. He’s a citizen of the State but will soon have to be eliminated, because he’s built out of flesh and because he has a mind. Mr. Romney Wordsworth, who will draw his last breaths in The Twilight Zone.
