I loved The Outer Limits when I was a kid.  I love it still.  Among the best episodes is a tale called O.B.I.T.  It stood for (Outer Band Individuated Teletracer) and was used to spy on people by tuning in on their individual frequencies and showing them on a screen.  The idea was to drive them crazy with paranoia because they’d obviously realize somebody was watching them all the time and they wouldn’t know how it was done.  They’re discovered to exist when a senator is investigating a murder at a top secret research center.  When he tries to find out where they came from, nobody knows.

Something similar is happening today, and it’s completely taken over the Democrat party and the Republican party too, but not to the same extent.  Clint Eastwood is completely immune to them, and there might be others in the resistance as well.  Our young president is totally reliant on them to the point that he blabbers gibberish when he isn’t relying on one.  They’re called teleprompters, a machine that projects words on a transparent screen so politicians don’t have to use notes during speeches.  President Obama has been known to use them in grammar school classrooms.  Vice President Biden often doesn’t use them, with disastrous results.  Both have become so reliant on them, neither can go without them without committing gaffes that are ignored by the lamestream media, but find their way into conservatives blogs, talk radio, and YouTube.

The Democrat party convention floor vote debacle was caused by one.  Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa had the vote outcome printed on it.  When he was faced with a contradiction between the teleprompter and what was actually taking place, he became befuddled, but eventually obeyed.  It seems the teleprompters decide the outcome of votes, while letting the audience participate is a charade.

So a machine originally designed to help give speeches now controls the national discourse.  Nearly everything we hear from the Democrat party are words on a screen, while the people we elect are merely readers.  So the obvious question is, who puts the words in the machine?

Nobody knows, except the person putting the words there and possibly a few others.  It might not even be human at all, it might be a machine in a cave or alien transmissions.  Perhaps SETI tuned into something and never announced it.  Might be leftover Soviets, or possibly Satan himself.  Or worse, maybe it’s Valerie Jarrett.  It’s guesswork, and secrets always spawn conspiracy theories.  One thing we can be sure of, it’s a very closely guarded secret and won’t be leaked.

I pray for this nation.
