Tyrants: ‘Logic Is an Enemy … Truth Is a Menace’

[Michie]

Instead of watching fireworks, my better half and I spent New Year’s Eve binge-watching a show that summed up the previous year: The Twilight Zone. One of the first episodes was “The Obsolete Man” (1961), about the trial of Romney Wordsworth, a librarian.

“Wordsworth! Romney! Obsolescence!” yelled one of two bailiffs standing at each side of two 20-foot-tall doors that slowly opened to reveal the condemned man entering the courtroom, head bowed.

Rod Serling, a master of words, sucked us in right away:

“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.”

Sooner or later, we're all going to be forced to take a stand, one way or the other.

I'm sure most people will get down on their knees, bow their heads, and meekly promise to obey Biden, Fauci, Pelosi, BLM, and the Pink Mafia.

Me, I'll be down at the wharf with my friends, dumping crates of tea into the harbor. Liberty or Death.
