Parody As a Weapon Part CXV-We have entered another dimension

Last week, in Part CXIV, Brenda Lee was channeled to parody the relationship between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden, and the many presents the former has placed under the Biden family Christmas tree to help Joe see things his way. This week, there will be less of a focus on the current occupant of the White House who has torn down America in so many ways, and a bit of a tribute to one who helped symbolize in a small way a part of America’s greatness.

Each year for the last couple of decades, as the New Year approached, it also meant it was time for the SciFi Channel’s marathon broadcast of episodes of “The Twilight Zone”. In what was described as an attempt to give programming employees more time off on a holiday weekend, the network would start playing only episodes of Rod Serling’s masterpiece anthology that aired from 1959 to 1965 originally and featured stories of space exploration and alien invasion, the hazards of technology as well as ignorance, and the dangers of nuclear war as well as the devil himself. For four of the five seasons that the television series was originally on the air, the episodes filled a 30 minute time slot, though during its fourth season, it was an hour long. For those interested in viewing select episodes, a guide is available with the scheduled episode run date and time.

In recent years, the Heroes and Icons Network (H&I, but not to be confused for Harassment & Interdiction) has run a competing Twilight Zone Marathon overlapping the SciFi Channel one, giving a viewer options to watch favorite episodes. The network choice is ironic, in that H&I runs two episodes of the 1960s TV series “Combat” (starring Rick Jason and Vic Morrow) each Saturday during their regular schedule, and it was during the filming of “Twilight Zone: The Movie” that Vic Morrow and two children working in violation of state labor laws were killed by a helicopter crash brought on by conduct of the film crew and director John Landis that would make Alec Baldwin blush.

As noted above, Rod Serling was the creative genius behind “The Twilight Zone “. Born and raised in upstate New York, Serling was a classic liberal who served in the US Army during World War II. Though his Jewish heritage made him enthusiastic to fight Hitler and his Nazi army, he was instead sent to the Pacific, where he saw combat against the Japanese in the Philippine Islands, and received two Purple Hearts there. Several episodes of the series are set in wartime, with two in particular set in the Philippines. As liberals once did, Serling questioned authority, particularly the totalitarian kind, and had a scorn for conformity that was a challenge for his time. His combat experience caused him to develop strong anti-war sentiments, he showed a great affinity for those sent to fight. Along with his fellow writers Hugh Beaumont and Richard Matheson, they pursued these themes and thoughts to twisted and (at times) absurd conclusions.

Hitler would not have approved of Serling’s politics, heritage nor his habits, as Rod smoked several packs of cigarettes per day, which would be enough to have him canceled by the totalitarian left of today, unless he switched his drug of choice to crack cocaine, in which case he could be forgiven. Der Führer himself guest starred in one hour long episode originally aired on January 24, 1963 entitled “He’s Alive” that starred a young Dennis Hopper.

As I noted in some past missives, back in 2012, prior to the November presidential election, many of us from this website would gather at The American Spectator online forums and participate in contests using our favorite films, TV programs and other popular media to draw analogies between their themses, plots and then-current events. Episodes from “The Twilight Zone” were very popular for this purpose, as it if quite difficult to speak of deals with the devil and alien invasion without bringing to mind the works of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the democrat party.

After all, when one watches Episode 24 from Season 3 entitled “To Serve Man”, it is afterwards difficult not to shout out when one hears the word “Bidenomics…is a cook book”. Any American who once thought of institutions such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Central Intelligence Agencies as immune from politics should place themselves in the role of the isolated woman portrayed by Agnes Moorehead in Episode 15 of that season entitled “The Invaders” to gain perspective on an intrusive government agency.

As one watches “The Hunt” (Season 3, Episode 19), not only is one treated to Arthur Hunnicutt and Jeanette Nolan, but it is difficult to dismiss the thought that the gatekeeper portrayed by Robert Foulk should have portrayed by Joe Biden, as he tried to trick independent voters without faith that what was beyond his gate was heaven instead of hell (Unfortunately, too many lack a good dog such as Rip to guide them).

Of course, the confusion between what is heaven and hell was the theme of more than one episode. In Season One Episode 28, the petty criminal Valentine portrayed by Larry Blyden is sent to his eternal reward in a hail of police gunfire found he was disappointed with the lack of excitement and challenge in his destination that he told his host “If I gotta stay here another day, I’m gonna go nuts! Look, look. I don’t belong in heaven – see? I wanna go to the other place” only to be informed “Heaven? Whatever gave you the idea you were in Heaven, Mr. Valentine? This is the other place!”. Anyone who has watched leftists set out to create a utopia and instead create a dystopic hellscape can appreciate this, and if filmed today, San Francisco would demand to be the location.

For all Americans who have cringed at Joe Biden’s fabulist lying, they will concur that he could have been cast in the role of Somerset Frisby portrayed by Andy Devine in Episode 30 of the Third Season. Unfortunately, the current occupant has shown no skill with a harmonica that could repel those currently invading our land.

To wrap things up, the following is submitted for your approval. It is again difficult to watch “The Howling Man” (Season Two Episode Five) and not see the Ellington character portrayed by H.M. Wynant and not think of the so-called independent voters who voted for Joe Biden thinking it could lead to moderation and unity. Instead, they have unleashed the devil who transformed by for our very eyes into the leftist puppet ruler. After all, as Rod Serling announced at the end of the episode (when history was to be repeated and the devil turned loose again) “Ancient folk saying: ‘You can catch the Devil, but you can’t hold him long.’ Ask Brother Jerome. Ask David Ellington. They know, and they’ll go on knowing to the end of their days and beyond – in the Twilight Zone.”
