The supernatural is real. The spirit realm is real. The world is run by sorcery, not science. It's a hard pill for most people to swallow. Believe me, I get it. It goes against everything we're told, even by our so-called religious authorities. But it's the REAL red pill.

Grok agrees: Japanese technology did not merely contribute to the 1980s sound and look—it supplied many of the practical tools that made the decade’s distinctive pop culture possible. Portable listening was transformed by the Sony Walkman (introduced 1979 and ubiquitous by the early-to-mid 1980s), which turned music into a personal, mobile experience and helped drive the cassette boom that defined how millions encountered new wave, pop, and hip-hop. Home video consumption shifted decisively toward Japanese formats; JVC’s VHS standard (and the broader VCR market dominated by Japanese manufacturers) turned films and music videos into everyday home media, expanding the audience and commercial life of Western movies and television far beyond theaters. These consumer and professional electronics sat alongside the already-noted instruments (DX7, TR-808, Jazz Chorus amps) and helped embed a high-tech Japanese aesthetic into Western film design and music-video production, reinforcing the US/UK/Japan creative exchange that the original post highlighted.

The symbiotic synergy of the US/UK/Japan creative axis of the 1980s is greatly under-appreciated these days, but it's what truly made that decade's pop culture the greatest of all time.

Why does this keep happening indeed? #Molech

Don't worry about the return fare, Che. That's all taken care of.

Hell's harvest is a real bumper crop this year.

No question.

Same here.

Southern California has long been a major hotbed for sicko/weirdo/occultist ritual nonsense, as has Los Angeles. And after a century of invoking and trafficking with malicious, deceitful entities, the bills are now coming due. Get out. There's no coming back from this.

I realize some of you may scoff at the notion of entity possession, and believe me, I get it. I did so myself for ages. However, I’m at the point right now where I can’t for the life of me explain the unceasing parade of surrealistically-insane public meltdowns and random violent crimes we’re seeing literally every day now. Meaning, I’m older than dirt, and I have never — ever — seen people act the way they do these days. I know a lot of folks chalk it up to mental illness, and there’s certainly a lot of that around. But by the same token, “mental illness” is just a generic blanket term that doesn’t come close to explaining what is going on out there. And at the end of the day, an honest psychiatrist will admit that scientists still don’t understand how the mind actually works. An honest psychiatrist will also admit that medications can sometimes be effective in managing symptoms, but very rarely do they address the underlying cause of mental illnesses.

Classic.

It seems the archdemon Molech is diversifying his portfolio and moving on to less-lethal sacrifcial offerings.

I'd love to be a Socialist, but I grew up poor.

I think mass possession is THE issue.

Serious Question: Any churches or pastors out there raising the alarm over the horrific demon-possession pandemic raging throughout the world, or is everyone too occupied with attacking each other over obscure theological minutiae?

Sounds like you rode to school on a short bus.

IT STILL RIPS OUT MY HEART SIR

That's a very male gut.
