At this point I am so far down the rabbit hole that I’ve become the rabbit, never having been one for any conspiracy theory I am not far from accepting that it was Elvis who shot JFK.
I have been following you since the recommendation on the Dark Horse podcast. Your writing is a ray of light among the gibberish propaganda served at every corner. I also like your research meticulousness. But you've made me LOL this time - thank you for that!
good one, thanks, Late in 2019, Pandemos went topsy-turvy when a novel species of two-foot-long monitor lizards showed up on the island. ... Doctor Faucinstein’s laboratory mischief. Mostly, people just knew that large lizards sometimes eat people, and that’s bad news for people who don’t run so fast! early treatments are crucial, too... IVR.. zinkko, quercetinooo, and more...
Few people realized the first lizards were actually Geckos, and that the authorities were padding the mortality figures by reclassifying dog bites & bee stings and murdering the vulnerable and infirm with Midazzolam. Despite the lack of effect this had on overall mortality, the media frenzy had, by this time, successfully given the *appearance* of a lizard invasion. Some people even suspect, now that time has passed and people now actually *are* dying of lizard bites, including people who had heretofore been invulnerable to the lizard venom, that the real danger comes exclusively from Doctor Faucinstein’s laboratory.
Yeah, my first test of a new acquaintance is to see what kind of jokes he "gets" and especially does not get. I've learned that customs agents have a very low "getting rate" for instance. I also suspect that the smiling picture we always see of Bill Gates does not indicate that he gets much either.
While it was clear to me that it this is satire, it didn't make me laugh, I'm afraid. Perhaps I'm just not QUITE smart or informed enough, or perhaps my sense of humour (yes, that's how I was taught to spell it) is not familiar enough with this particular variety of it. It may not be specifically American, but American humour rarely makes, or rarely has made, me laugh (and neither does, or has, German humour, in case you were interested), but then I may just be odd (or depressed).
Nicely put.

"Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand." that's the only way we can get out of this psychosis.

And the chiefs of Nacerima have been carving testaments of Pandemos into tablets without having visited

This is brilliant.
Still people say…”I’m within arms reach of Vite’dy, my torch and matches.
I live in Pandemonium.
I’m still afraid of the dark”.
(HaHa! Not me!)
This is a sadly great examination of what's happened. I noticed this from the beginning and yet people continue to believe otherwise.
