In 1961, while discussing movies with a friend, I proposed that one day people would walk into a theater, sit in the dark for 13 seconds, receive an impulse, and walk out into the lobby with the distinct impression they'd just watched a movie. They'd feel as if they'd gotten the point and the impact, even though they wouldn't be able to tell you anything about the movie.
Electronic signature. Transmitted to create the sensation of actual experience.
I still think it'll happen someday.
In many areas.
You'll sit at a restaurant under the stars, order from the menu, and a minute later you'll be hit by a wave that conveys the sensation of steak, lobster, baked potato, champagne, chocolate cake.
You'll book a vacation to Fiji. Never leaving your couch, you'll absorb the electronic signature of the trip. The whole works. The cottage on stilts above the beach, the salt air, the scuba diving, the fish dinners, the walks on the beach…
Simulation. Instant.

I'm 85, so when I started watching television, it was small and it was black and white.
There were maybe five channels.
I watched a lot of baseball—the Yankees and Dodgers—and B Westerns, movies with speeded up horse chases and guns going off and guys falling off the horses.
The baseball was elegant. In black and white, there was a certain distance from the action. It was real, but you weren't clobbered on the head with blue and red and yellow and green. It was as if you were watching a black and white film that was Live, in the moment. The plot wasn't decided. It was unfolding. A minor miracle.

I've been at this thing called writing since I was 17. I'm 85 now. I published my first article in 1982. That's when I turned pro.
Like other writers I know, I can say: I've provided enough pure fact and evidence and data to turn America into the Constitutional Republic it once was—if that were possible.
I've uncovered enough charlatans and predators to revolutionize morality in this country—if that were possible.
These aren't extreme statements. They're definitely not statements of defeat. I don't ever admit defeat. The war for freedom is longer than people realize—going back in time and going forward. I've called it the 10,000 year war; putting us somewhere in the middle of it now.
And when I say freedom, I include rebellion, and also accountability, meaning freedom is not license to do anything—like smashing an old lady on the head with a brick. That's lower than animal behavior. As everybody once knew, freedom means limitless action in any direction which doesn't impinge on another's freedom.
So all of the above is a bit of background, before answering the question in the headline of this piece:

I'm thinking we do this one in New York.
I thought we were going for Chicago.
Yeah, but we don't want to disrupt the flow of drugs in and out of there.
Right. So New York. We spray a toxic chemical with limited dispersion?
No. This time it's all theater. We pick out 15 recently arrived migrants, pay them each a couple of thousand bucks, and transport them to some island in the South Pacific. They never enter the system.
No hospital?
None. The Times and the Post get the story first. 15 immigrants infected by the virus die in New York. The new variant came on suddenly and they expired. Names being withheld.
Won't that raise a storm about immigration at the border?
That's what we want. Sharp polarization. People demanding we shut the border. Other people insisting it has to stay open.
OK, got it. But then what? Lock down New York?
Tight as a drum.
Why bother paying immigrants and flying them to islands? Just SAY 15 migrants died. Nobody is keeping track of those people.
You know what? You're right. That makes it even easier.
And not only that, we say the migrants came to New York via Florida, where they were present protesting the recent Nazi group demonstration.
You mean that bullshit Nazi thing we staged?

A few years ago, I spoke with a linebacker for the XXXXX in the NFL.
He told me Michelle Obama showed up one day at team practice, and when he bumped shoulders with her, "She felt as hard as a rock."
After the team left the field, the linebacker was sitting on the sidelines nursing a sore knee, and he saw Michelle strip down to shorts and a sports bra. "She kicked off her heels and started going after the tackling dummies. Man, she was fierce. I mean, we could have used her. She knew I was there. She came over to me. She had this look in her eyes. She was boiling with some kind of revenge. She said, 'You know, I told Barack he could make me chairman of the Joint Chiefs and I would take the Pentagon to new levels. The war in Afghanistan. That shit would have been over in a few months. And the terrorists collecting in Iraq after we smashed the country twice. I would have wiped out those jihad guys in a few weeks. Barack can get nasty when he wants to, but I'm a whole different brand. I only settle for complete victory.' I looked at her. Or him. I said, 'We need you in our locker room. We need somebody with the hunger, to motivate the whole team. You know, do or die.' She laughed. 'First thing that has to go is your coach,' she said. 'He's one of those nice guys. Wants to make friends with the players. A loser. I'm from the Vince Lombardi school. Winning is the only thing. The rest is lollipop shit. That's the trouble with this country. Too many candy asses. If I ever become President, I'll bring down the hammer.' Michelle continued,…

Multiple news outlets report the giant federally funded and viewer supported network is dead broke.
And is moving what's left of its programming to Substack.
PBS CEO Ima Gnot talked to reporters outside her home on Martha's Vineyard:
"It's the fund drives. They sank us. Most of the old rock stars we used to promote those drives are dead. It happens. Old people pass away."
"And our main viewership, we discovered, resides in nursing homes and retirement villages. They're passing away, too."
Professor Hiram Schwartz Fortunato, chairman of the Brain Studies Unit at MIT, told the Boston Globe, "We did a study last year that analyzed the national PBS news broadcasts. It turns out the people they employ, the anchors, transmit a special 'leveling' frequency that mesmerizes several key brain centers. In particular, Judy Woodruff, who retired last year, and Christiane Amanpour could be thought of as sleep gas. Amanpour also delivers an odd low-pitched wave length that reminds viewers of the word 'beer'. We still don't understand that. But most PBS viewers are not friendly toward beer. They prefer wine. Especially the pretentious California brands that try to compete with the French."
I caught up with Eloise Fred X-Binary Leftwich, who is managing the PBS move to Substack. She told me the fund drives will continue on a very limited basis, but now staff will be donating their own possessions to viewers who send money.
"One of our long-time executives, Mike Brest Ivy, has collected dead garter snakes for decades. He stuffs them and keeps them in his bedroom, in bureaus. While supplies last, Mike will be sending a snake to every viewer who contributes $175 or more in a given year. And I have doilies and Native American carvings."
The PBS Substack will feature 175 writers who have been working for the network. They'll pen articles.
The 175 have formed a Collective. The Social of Substack. SS. They'll evenly divide the proceeds from subscriptions.
I asked Leftwich whether each writer will contribute equally to the output of articles:
