Body Snatchers

The eve of Tuesday, November 8, 2016, perhaps around 11:00 pm Pacific Standard Time, when I realized that the Russians had declared the Third World War on the United States, with nary an atomic bomb or some kind of flash of nuclear warfare, just the ability to bribe, hack, and blackmail; when I realized that Hillary who had won the popular vote by over 3 million more votes (at least the ones not thrown in some swampland in Florida or a rusted auto factory in Wisconsin, or a rutted ruined Steel Factory in Pennsylvania), but suspiciously lost the Electoral College Votes, by some very close and dubious numbers…like oh, so many believers that even with its faults, Democracy could survive…but instead died…I cried, and I swore to myself I could never watch any news, not only Cable but even local news because all hope had been torn to shreds by the wily ex-KGB dictator Putin and his newly appointed Oligarchs in America the Republican Party Leadership. I swore, NO MORE, and NEVER AGAIN…but knowing that SILENCE EQUALS death and suffering from a terrible addiction of news, and almost 7 decades of being told that doing the right thing must ALWAYS be followed, denying the wrong thing to thrive, I soon returned to watching and reading the news and understood the phrase…”If not now when…”

I understood, all along, that wish as I might, that perhaps there was still a heartbeat a small thread of life left for democracy to survive, and Mr. Mueller, could lead us out of bondage, as did Moses. But like Moses, Mr. Mueller could only travel so, and like Moses never had the chance to step foot in the Promised Land. Moses and Mueller were mere mortals. 

Today, Little Lindsey Graham, stood in front of the cameras, and if anyone has ever watched this lying little anarchist, traitor bastard try his best to become Captain America,(of course the ONLY guy who truly knows what is BEST for America,), using his best hocus pokus you do such voodoo that you do so well machinations as the veins in his neck grow so wide you think they swallow his Aunt Bea from Mayberry's head, you will know just how many fictitious and fact less meritless and mindless jibber-jab vile venom will fill the stage. Once again, Holy Hell was to be paid, because NOT the GOP, but the Dems have played dirty tricks against the man Jesus and his Heavenly Father had anointed to Make America, no not just America but Israel Great Again. It was at that moment (in most science fiction movies almost too late) I realized that not only had the Russians declared war on the United States, but THEY perfected and implemented a most unique weapon, first seen on the movie screen in 1956, written by Daniel Mainwaring…”The Pod People”

Mr. Mainwaring wrote a screenplay called “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. The film's storyline concerns an extraterrestrial invasion that begins in the fictional California town of Santa Mira. Alien plant spores have fallen from space and grown into large seed pods, each one capable of reproducing a duplicate replacement copy of each human. As each pod reaches full development, it assimilates the physical characteristics, memories, and personalities of each sleeping person placed near it; these duplicates, however, are devoid of all human emotion. Little by little, a local doctor uncovers this "quiet" invasion and attempts to stop it. The slang expression “pod people" that arose in late 20th century American culture references the emotionless duplicates seen in the film. On Monday, March 25, 2019, I also realized that American democracy had been attacked, again. Right in front of my eyes, but just as sinister and treasonous…this time it was THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS!
