Turns out that aliens had it easy from the very start ... whenever they needed info or intel on human beings, human lives, even human samples ... all they had to do was to entice them with sex or kinks or some sort of weird fetish or something
All the aliens had to do was do a couple of anal probs, and that would automatically give them access to several hundred or thousands of humans that automatically became interested in this specific fetish and would just come looking for the aliens without even having to be asked or coerced.
The thing that probably scared Turnip is not WWIII but rather the idea that free for all assassinations would mean that he would be one of the first to get shot at.
Angry old men ... ruling the biggest countries in the world .. and all of them not caring what they are going to do or not do because they're going to be dead or senile or incapable to do anything within the next ten years.
I mention and point out this post here because the same young people who are fans of Star Trek and follow the ideas and ideals of the show and writers over the many series, understand how those same ideas apply to our world. All the Trek story arcs are a constant reminder of humanity and where we came from in that Trek universe and how we could some day overcome our selfish past and start exploring the galaxy. It's a constant message of hope that we can do better.
Trek fans are Trek fans because they enjoy thinking and critically looking at our world and hope for a better future ... and they all know that change has to happen in order for humanity to progress. The fear and worry is in how that change will play out ... either peacefully or violently.
And like I said .... there will be a lot of young Trek fans out there today and I wish with all my heart that they stay safe and secure wherever they are.
I posted this as a reminder, a warning and a precaution to those young Trek fans that might be out there ... that is the main reason why I posted this.
One? .... all the headlines highlight mass arrests of any kind of brown non-white person everywhere ... dozens, even hundreds of them. I'm sure there are white people being added to that list somewhere but they are few and far between, while the majority of the masses being attacked are brown minority groups and individuals.
God damn it ... now I have to watch Life Of Brian ... it's been years, decades since I last saw it
For anyone who sees this ... Monty Python's 'Life Of Brian' is a 1979 film that should be instituted as essential to Memery 101
