Take 29 minutes to listen to this 1956 radio transmission that has haunted me for decades.
—
The one thing that is guaranteed is bureaucrats will create unintended outcomes. In the golden age of American science fiction radio, few episodes captured the absurd machinery of bureaucracy and the quiet horror of lost history quite like X Minus One's "Skulking Permit."
First broadcast on NBC on February 15, 1956 (and rebroadcast on July 4, 1957), the episode adapted Robert Sheckley's short story from the December 1954 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.
It remains a razor-sharp parable about how autocratic thinking devours memory, how isolation can breed innocence or oblivion, and how the rediscovery of one's true origins can shatter a civilization's self-image.
Today, as we stand on the cusp of an Al-mediated Great Forgetting, I chronicled in my writings on the Amnesia Generation, this story reads less like quaint 1950s satire and more like a warning siren for our own era.
It is the companion to the latest 5000 Days Series at https://t.co/tcKeuiQyql.

Chocolate sold in America is going through 2 changes
Almost our entire candy isle for chocolate in America will be effected by 1 of these 2 new techniques:
- Lab grown chocolate
- Genetically modified chocolate by gene slicing
“California Cultured is the startup company that's growing cocoa cells in a tank. A lot of you asked, is this just one company? No, it's the entire industry”
But wait till you hear what the Mars candy company's doing that's far worse in my view.
Here's what every major player in the chocolate industry's doing right now
- Lindt is investing in lab-grown cocoa
- Mondelez, the maker of Cadbury, Oreos, and Toblerone, is investing in lab-grown cocoa butter
- Barry Callebaut, the world's largest cocoa processor, is investing in cocoa cell culture
Barry Callebaut isn't a name you'd recognize on a wrapper, but they supply chocolate to Hershey and Nestlé under long-term contracts. When they move, half the candy aisle moves with them”
Here’s where things get really scary
“Mars, the makers of M&M's, Snickers, Dove, Twix, Milky Way, Mars Bars, and Three Musketeers, among others, is doing something completely different. And this is cause for alarm in my opinion.
— Mars partnered with a lab at UC Berkeley where CRISPR, the gene editing technology, was developed. They're going to modify the cacao tree's genetic structure by clipping out certain genes to make them more resistant to disease and drought tolerant.
This is Frankenfood. Genetically modified Frankenfood
Here’s why they are doing this
Global chocolate demand's rising about 3% every year. At the same time, 70% of the world's cocoa comes from West Africa, and West Africa is getting hammered by droughts, higher temperatures, and a nasty virus
Pests and diseases cause yearly losses of about 30 to 40% of the total global cocoa production
So major companies have decided to grow it in a lab or genetically modify the trees
The question is whether the solutions they've chosen are proportionate to the risk
I’d say no, absolutely not. We all know the second these things are done they will start selling it to us with no long term safety studies and no idea how it will effect our health
It’s coming so be warned
Incredible. Bill Gates followed through with this.
“If people would cut down on their meat consumption, we could really help the planet”
“So possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to certain types of meat”
Statement on the Epstein Files: The American people have read and had enough.
What is already documented in the Jeffrey Epstein matter is enough to demand the full release of every page.
It is enough to demand the prosecution of every adult whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.
It is enough to tear the entire apparatus of redaction and protection down to its foundation.
Children were trafficked through the homes, planes, and islands of some of the most powerful people on earth. Women working directly for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including women who were themselves victims groomed into becoming traffickers, sent emails identifying girls as young as nine, ten, and eleven for delivery into that network.
Representatives Boebert, Luna, Massie, Khanna, and Garcia with security clearances and direct access to the unredacted files, have told the American people that the language in those documents is darker than what the public has been allowed to see.
They have described emails about torture. They have described coded references that warrant immediate criminal investigation. They have described names hidden behind black bars while survivors watch their own identities exposed.
That is not a conspiracy theory. That is testimony from sitting members of Congress, on the record, in front of the cameras, under their own names.
What is already on record is enough to indict an entire generation of institutional failure. The FBI had this material for two decades and the case went nowhere. The Department of Justice cut the original sweetheart plea deal in Florida that let Epstein walk in a county jail with work release. The man himself died in federal custody on the watch of agencies that to this day cannot give a clean accounting of what happened in that cell.
Now, after the Epstein Files Transparency Act (a law), the American people are told that millions of pages remain withheld and that the redactions in what has been released are shielding the powerful rather than the victims.
There is pure evil in this case. Real, spiritual, moral evil of the kind the Scriptures warn us about and that every civilization in human history has been forced to confront.
Children were destroyed for the appetites of the wealthy and the connected. The institutions of this Republic that exist to protect those children failed them at every level, for decades, across both parties.
I have spent a lifetime in military and intelligence work. I have sat in the rooms where decisions get made. I have watched institutions classify their failures, bury their misconduct, and call the result national security. The pattern in this case is the same pattern I have watched my entire career.
The powerful protect the powerful. The truth gets buried until the American people force it into the open.
So here is what every American must demand, and what every American must keep demanding until it is delivered.
1. Release every page, every email, every flight log, every financial record, and every video.
2. Strip the redactions that exist to protect the predators rather than victims.
3. Identify every person, foreign or domestic, whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.
4. Prosecute where the evidence allows, regardless of station, party, citizenship, or wealth.
5. Reopen the question of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody.
6. Audit the FBI, the Department of Justice, and every agency that touched this case for the past twenty years.
The Constitution does not run a separate justice system for the connected. The Republic does not bend its laws around the elite and no claim of "national security" will ever justify the protection of monsters who paid to abuse children.
Pray for the victims and do not, under any circumstance, let this story die.
‼️ 323 vials containing deadly viruses go missing from a lab in Australia — ABC News
Among them, nearly 100 vials contained the Hendra virus (transmitted from horses to humans, with a 57% fatality rate). Two vials contained the hantavirus (spread by rodents, with a 38% fatality rate), and 223 vials contained the lyssavirus (rabies virus, with an almost 100% fatality rate).
The most likely cause of the "disappearance" is thought to be the loss of containers during transfer to a new freezer. The Ministry of Health is conducting an investigation.
His part in the kidnapping sounds so matter of fact, almost no emotion, certainly not empathy. Bohemian Grove is a Satanist’s haven. These men have been regaled throughout our history, for decades as high achievers, nation builders & financial gurus☠️👺☠️
@SamanthaTaghoy Child exploitation, trafficking, forced labor (including in cobalt mines), and abuse are serious, well-documented problems in the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, this specific clip is being presented without full context and has circulated with varying interpretations.
