it is not generally known that many of

the strange and alarming trends observed

in this country in recent years were not

random occurrences coincidences are

so-called acts of God but are in fact

directly traceable to this group of men

five of the most brilliant and twisted

geniuses in America perhaps in the

entire world living and working together

isolated protected and funded by a

government contract so brilliantly

incomprehensible that no one even at the

highest Washington levels knew it's real

activities this group in the name of

free scientific inquiry perpetrated a

series of scenarios so sinister so

bizarre and so childishly perverse that

rational men argued that the

civilization which had come so far and

so short a time was finally collapsing

dr. Carl Becker director of the

Institute excuse me dr. Becker oh yes

how did the five of you meet we were all

sent out here some years ago by someone

who thought it would be a good idea for

the best minds to be put together in a

good environment with unlimited funds

and what were you all supposed to do Oh

think a think-tank what about the usual

you know the food shortage ecology

energy that sort of thing we were

supposed to save the world before it

went wrong nothing went wrong we just

got into more interesting material

that's all more interesting material

what kind of material Oh little this a

little that Hundertwasser does all of

our media work

this device allows us to jam all the

Nielsen boxes in the country I see

you're talking about the television

rating system that's right we've been

doing that for the past six years we

substitute our own information using

microwaves from roving vans mmm you see

that Total Environment control the

entire country that sounds impossible

yeah that's not that difficult we pick

show to random and feed a winning share

into the Nielsen boxes like Donna Marie

hefty 60 share audience to 70 million

now we happen to know that on that night

were only 1200 people the entire country

will watch that particular show that's

70 million well that's amazing

that's right the important thing to

remember is that Nielsen was totally

wrong about everything

dr. Burundi conceived and worked with

the Chinese on the Nixon substitution

scenario the Nixon substitution scenario

what was that exactly the Nixon who went

to China in 1972 was not the one we sent

back free Chandler chemistry biology and

pharmaceutical I have some things here

we're into several areas actually

viruses some phage cloning DNA

crystalline diffraction

I did the new penicillin resistant

gonorrhea strain a few years ago

remember was in all the papers nobody

could figure it out and van Dongen is

doing some very nice stuff with genetics

and adaptation genetically speaking man

is very unstable

he's a sort of an inferior product of

nature genes are vulnerable to a variety

of outside influences to radiation

chemicals stress on the other hand

certain insects the common roach for

instance are very resistant to mutation

now if we could crossbreed a human with

a roach then we would have a species

that could last for 10 billion years

it is now accepted as we put the pieces

together that the entire unpleasantness

was the fault of this Becker person and

that the catastrophe found its

beginnings as so many do in the most

casual innocent remark in this case a

small article in The New York Times

good morning gentlemen now see what you

can do with this here Gallup says that

over 60% of Americans now firmly believe

that there are extraterrestrials out

there somewhere trying to contact us

whoa anybody Eric

Arum we could give them what they want I

think I got one no I think I got a good

one what you're gonna like this what if

a spaceship lands and extraterrestrial

steps I'll what happens what happens and

what does the effect on the population

what is it panic because of hysteria the

depression it's mass suicide is it

religious revivals you see what I'm

saying we can find out I'll fake fake it

think all you need is the right orphan

at orphan why do you need an orphan

because an extraterrestrial Eric must

not be traceable to earth weren't

parents

I like this Leon it has texture and

scope changes in their blood various

fluid I have a thought about a primal

trauma at the end of all this the

country discovers et been living right

among them all along incredible let's

get Doris in on this hello Doris yes dr.

Becker how are you Doris

I'm perfect you know that let me see

what you can find on a white American

male between the ages of 25 and 40

mm-hmm an orphan the parents are

untraceable urban just a minute I'm

searching yeah he's coming I can feel it

how about an assistant professor of

psychology Simon Mendelssohn he's

perfect

[Music]

okay stay with me now because this is

really great

nuclear rockets huge ones hundreds of

them on one side of the world and when

the plan runs out of food and air and

water which will probably what do we do

uh anybody what do we do I'll tell you

what we do into a spaceship and we move

to another solar system where there is

food and water and air it can happen

anything can happen

dare to dream use the right side of your

brains intuition imagination dreams

uncertainty remember we talked about the

uncertainty principle you can change the

world with an idea but you have to think

of the idea first Wittgenstein said this

I do not know what I do not know huh is

that fantastic I do not know what yes

Pam what is it uh is this gonna be on

the final Doris is right is perfect

we're gonna need a few personal details

from his early childhood I need fresh

samples of his three major bodily fluids

[Music]

completely safe Lisa stop worrying what

is this looks like a coffin

very good it's the credit coffin comes

in I got it from Gerry Epstein's uncle

who drives a hearse for Frankie

Campbell's totally supportive

[Music]

you're dizzy mister class you made

sounds like a wolf howling three days

it's a completely normal side effect and

this has nothing to do with that

[Music]

Phillips head screwdriver you're a

brilliant man you could make a

contribution what do you want to lie in

a coffin from Jerry epsilonkl are you

kidding me this is the greatest

scientific research tool since the

invention of the microscope Lisa since

the microscope says everybody me is this

your mattress yes it is it's a new field

Lisa I'm a pioneer you ever see

Faraday's lab or Fermi's well Madame

Curie's or the atomic pile at the

University of Chicago flimsy stuff it's

all jerry-built

all right listen what do you want me to

do with your red shirt what the red

shirt that came back mangled from the

laundry Lisa someplace I'm on the verge

here this is gonna do it for me really

it's incredible

look at this a simple tank filled with

water you get in you float there no

light no sound a feeling of gravity

nothing the brain is deprived of all

sensory input so it starts to turn in on

itself

you get disoriented you get afraid you

start to panic massive anxiety ensues if

you're lucky even hallucinate the brain

examining itself Lisa Josh you got it

great what is that AJ I capped it from

the primate layer Simon you shouldn't

steal equipment oh no Harvey stole

cadavers from the cemetery

Harvey Milstein from the Economics

Department Harvey so William Harvey

circulation of the blood 1628 jokes I'm

white now Lisa go get a cup of coffee I

don't want a cup of coffee all right

I'll get a cup of coffee you pick up

later okay

what time love it I mean Monday this is

Thursday right what do you mean right

you gonna lie in this place for three

days you will dissolve won't dissolve

it's only a two hours Simon I don't want

to have to fill out a lot of forms do

you or do you not want me to win a Nobel

Prize yes if you wear that to the

ceremony okay let's run the list sweetie

everything's completely under control

ten I've got a duck okay oh my god that

was the most incredible experience of my

life

Collin was they in the full ad about 63

seconds 63 seconds are you sure my god

that must be what keto excuse me you

must be Simon Mendelssohn you are am i

right

yes I'd like to introduce myself I'm

Carl Becker and I think you may be an

authentic genius

[Music]

I see Umansky is doing some interesting

things with neutrinos

I heard from Keira off he says he's

three months from a unified field theory

lord care law always premature Misha oh

don't even mention me sir

large mylar reflectors about five miles

square launched from rockets

what reflectors in synchronous orbit

22,000 miles over Nebraska why 24-hour

days at night oh yes it is growing cycle

Oh twice as much car very pretty very

pretty you should make out some

equations called blades

is it the matush it is the 70 it has a

lovely nose thank you sir oh I do I do

so dislike the 68 it's so pushy yeah I

don't know how to say this dr. Carl

please all my life I hope that maybe

someday and now this and then and you

and and those guys my god they're all so

brilliant and in that Indian guy with a

mylar reflectors

I couldn't believe one day he was just

showing off oh yeah you of course well I

don't know I'm speechless

here it is Simon what do you think what

do I think you saw what they gave me at

school that little Plaza the basement

anything you want some and just

requisition it from a paperclip to a

microscope the only limit is your own

imagination

I don't know I am without I can't I I

know you're gonna do some wonderful work

well I'll certainly I'll do every I'll

make oh I'd like to excuse me that's all

right

Cynthia Malorie Simon Mendelssohn indeed

dr. Mallory is oh yeah has expressed an

interest in working with you oh well

that's not I need I need somebody with a

very eclectic background a solid

foundation all the sciences some

literature and philosophy yeah what's

your field we'll have an MD from Johns

Hopkins a PhD from Cambridge and

behavioral psychology masters from the

Sorbonne in contemporary French

literature

okay the absurdist so okay me yes um I

read the many my undergraduate work was

completed at Swarthmore two years summa

[ __ ] laude

yes Kiplinger in Vienna all of Stockholm

epstein in Geneva yes of course you're

familiar with this all part of your clan

biorhythms an acetyl transferase

activity and chickens and rats yes

abstinence abstinence and chickens my

notebook entitled a comprehensive

history of oral sex techniques

Illustrated has already been proclaimed

a masterpiece by both Norman Mailer and

Bess Myerson and has an advanced

printing of 100,000 copies

who's your publisher now let's try it

out for pride out for a week

I'm working on what I call a general

theory of creativity really just like

Albert Einstein I believe that inside of

everybody everybody is a genius waiting

to be released the secret is you got to

get yourself into a kind of a chaotic

enough mental state and the good

material can break through from the

unconscious well how do you accomplish

this Oh any way you can

chemicals sleep laws fasting deep

breathing did you know that if I

hyperventilate for ten minutes

I really do some very interesting well

you fellows may be wrong and you'll

forgive me if I throw 500 years of

science out the window with this just

what if it's all subjective I mean the

universe contains not one truth but an

infinite number of truths right okay

thank you take your black hole for

example your black hole is popular now I

submit because what you got there is a

bunch of the press scientists you're not

gonna get any happy well-adjusted

scientists inventing a big object a

black thing that sucks you into a noodle

shaped object five million miles long

and heats you up if you get through

closer think about it hmm very good

thank you plates very fruity how's he

doing

he thinks he's doing just great is he

watching right now he's watching smile

is he resisting you resisting Bob Dicke

that is the perfect environment perfect

equipment perfect fantasy the perfect

woman I think we can move ahead swiftly

now the key is death if you spoke of

death a lot it would make him sexually

excited he's that type we're drowning in

a sea of facts the left half of the

brain is recreating the entire world

that's quite brilliant how did you get

so brilliant must run in the family

oh yes yeah my father was the most

brilliant research physicist on the

entire h-bomb project until the accident

he was in charge of the final arming of

the bomb on Anna we talk oh yes

apparently he fell asleep in the tower

no one know about it the detonation went

off on schedule you mean yes my father

was completely vaporized fine this

morbid I certainly do please continue

my grandfather was a student under the

great radiologist Wilhelm roentgen in

Munich oh yeah yeah they discovered this

you place your hand in front of a

photographic plate and bombarded the

high-intensity x-rays that you can see

the skeleton underneath mm-hmm 1901

Wilhelm roentgen got the Nobel Prize

my grandfather's hand dropped off my

husband psychiatrist he specialized in

contemporary suicide was the psycho huh

one day he took a bottle of Seconal and

jumped off the roof oh my god he must

have suffered terribly I feel that he

was probably sleeping by the time he

passed the third floor

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

did you get the fluids did you get him

did you get him did you get him did you

get him did you turn are they fresh

you're a genius did you tell the father

story yes and the husband Anna yes yes

yes

you see I designed those anecdotes

specifically to excite him to enthrall

him with you

his feelings about me are not based on

your little stories I can assure you oh

really

well what are they based on then

something I do with my tongue Cynthia

that's disgusting

yes that's why it works [ __ ] pimp

alright alright let's just calm down

there should be a beautiful moment Eric

what are your thoughts well Carl I think

the new tank of his is the key see my

feeling is what he's searching for

during these immersions although he

doesn't know it is his real mother the

one who abandoned him when he was an

orphan so the next time he gets in the

tank leave him in for 200 hours that's

over a week his brains been trying to

tapioca oh I wouldn't think so it'll

just make him very receptive to what

we're going to give him a whole new

birth memory you got a red light good

sweetheart I'm gonna check the monitor

here see if the two things are going

there's a test run so get me out in an

hour okay let's plug in terrific hold

please

okay one second okay hello hello hello

can you read me out there I hope you're

taking good notes out there 1 2 3 4 5 6

7 8 9 10 ABC hello hello okay I'm inside

the tank it's very very interesting

water temperature is weird shoes I've

spoken with Euripides and hisses

[Music]

[Music]

well snake

[Music]

okay open it up but it's only 197 ah

what's he doing he's regressed

completely regrets to where infancy no

further than that about 500 million

years every human brain carries the

memory of Olive illusion he's been

through the entire evolutionary chain

has to find his way back

now see is a tiny sea organism plankton

what's he doing now

and look at that Karl we've got flippers

and fins here and he's starting to swim

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hey that's australopith the scene that's

Pithecanthropus Java man

oh whoa our witness oh he's discovered

his own sexuality

[Music]

Wow among consenting language they won't

know where they serve I look that Carl

he's doing a dance of joy to the harvest

[Music]

no too much joy we get guilt in religion

[Music]

now he's becoming civilized he's become

an artisan he's making objects he's at

an assembly line it's it's the

Industrial Revolution

[Music]

this will bring him up into Twilight's

sleep you'll observe everything but

it'll pass directly into his deepest

memory there is unconscious poor lonely

Simon and do you know why you're lonely

Simon because you're an orphan you don't

know who you are or where you come from

open your eyes Simon

Earth we can make humans the way humans

make toasters you made me what then you

made yourself I'm screwed it's all right

don't worry it's a good recipe a little

protein some nice amino acids it lasts

for almost 40 years I guarantee and then

you fall apart what do you expect

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

and to close this item from Hanover May

scientists from a research facility near

here reported that they were holding

someone who was claiming to be an

extraterrestrial this footage supplied

by station WH Cayce in Bangor shows

Simon Mendelssohn a staff member at the

Institute for advanced concepts who it

is alleged was placed on earth as an

infant approximately 40 years ago

extensive medical tests are underway to

determine if mr. Mendelssohn is in fact

our first visitor from the stars or just

a self-styled lunatic or both

[Music]

we're only young dawn of we're gonna be

so awesome

go get a bucket boiler easy Barnaby

spade a star

ah

[Music]

[Music]

mr. son

[Music]

ah

[Music]

it's a distinct possibility we can make

viruses now an advanced civilization

they could make a perfect human a real

three-dimensional human you there's a

dichotomy in this that if he's

indistinguishable from you or me what is

the difference where is his soul this is

the basic question how can the man have

a soul

his mother was a blender the most you

can have is a warranty I think that this

event is clear proof that there is a God

in the universe this is clear proof

there is no god you're both wrong

this is proof that there is a God but he

doesn't know what the hell he's doing

please good morning Simon Oh Carl good

morning you wanted to see it yes I did I

wanted to thank you all personally for

the exemplary way in which you have

handled what could have been a very

explosive situation for you you should

feel very very proud thank you you see

you've given the world something finally

to believe in ah and what is that mean

yes Simon what's that in your hand oh

yes my statement could we see it sure to

whom do you wish to make this statement

oh all mankind for media coverage could

you excuse us for a minute

surely thank you I'm not a new wrinkle

what do you think well we can't let him

make the statement I'm sorry in the

scenario release it to the media why not

did you read that thing the man's a

world-class psychotic

uh-huh did you say something I said look

who's talking chemist Rocha file please

gentlemen and thank you could you excuse

us for just a minute thank you

look I want to give it a try what could

happen

Arum go sir Pasha go let's do it

very Timon what we've decided to do it

Carl I'd like to express my very grave

doubts about this now this man is

obviously insane we can't present him

I've been doing a great deal of thinking

about Who I am and why I've been sent

here to live among you and the answer is

really very simple things here are just

not working out very well your jobs are

boring your food is bland your water's

polluted your relationships don't work

is that not right and the question is

how have things come to such a sorry

state of affairs I will tell you there

is too much bad stuff around bad food

bad drink bad art bad ideas everything's

all clogged up so what we're gonna do is

we're gonna get rid of all the bad stuff

and that will be a very good beginning

now I have your list of things which I

like written in the Constitution

immediately after which I promise you

your lives will be less tense and more

rewarding one all music in elevators

airports restaurants and other public

rooms will cease immediately to no more

children or animals may be used to sell

products three lawyers who lose cases

will go to jail with their clients

for no doctor may write a diet book any

doctor who does will immediately lose

his license and become a dentist five

I think we don't really need a House of

Representatives and a Senate the Romans

didn't have one so let's just have a

Senate okay which reminds me I think

would be a very good idea from now on

all politicians who appeared in public

were cone-shaped partyhat not bad huh

six pollution anybody who owns a factory

that makes radioactive waste has to take

it home at night with him to his house

vii anybody who says I'm trying to get

centered you are invading my space or

far out will be fined $50 make that $100

I feel Simon is basically expressing the

unconscious wishes of the public

basically what are your feelings on that

senator I can't go along with that dick

I think the fellas dangerous

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Simon you're gonna have to go more

slowly because you're gonna disturb

people you're upset well I understand

these I just think we should meet and go

over your material before you broadcast

again no that's quite impossible why

because now I have to speak with someone

in authority I'm in authority yes Carl

of course you are that's why I want you

to set up a meeting with the president

the Chinese premier hope and Walter

Cronkite I'd like to have him terminated

terminate oh no come on yet he's just

starting to cook couldn't we give it

another week no he's out of control and

I want him killed he's not hurting

anybody have you read the newspapers I

never read the newspapers it's

fascinating

his ego is expanding exponentially come

on Carl it's working so well don't even

like this in six months please all right

all right but we have to slow him down a

little Aaron if you got anything I've

been doing some wonderful things with

mice I know you have I'll take care of

it thank you

where were we Oh three before say

[Music]

I'd like to see dr. Carl Becker please

you have an appointment do you have a

phone in that thing

please Lisa if I may call you Lisa this

whole thing is just as baffling to us as

it is to you listen I don't know what

you did to that man but he does not come

from out of space

where is he please well I'll take you to

him but first you're gonna have to

change your clothes

it smells like germs Lisa germs you

don't want to be the cause of his death

now do you well there he is Lisa I hope

he remembers you Simon

you have a visitor hello Lisa they gave

me this stuff they said I was contagious

yes human beings are all intelligence to

me is that true oh yes oh it's a very

nice sentiment that must be why you

didn't call me for five weeks

yeah you must have been afraid that I'd

infect you over the telephone no no I've

just been very very busy Simon what

what's going on here what are you doing

this is a an experiment like the tank

you're pretending to be this space

person I don't get it it's not an

experiment it's the real thing

are you telling me that you come from

out of space not out of space outer

space out of space doesn't mean anything

Simon I find this very hard to accept

well you're not the only one I find out

hard to accept myself but you accept it

yes I do I mean the medical evidence is

overwhelming I mean my blood my bodily

fluids nobody seen anything like them

and my memories my god the memories I've

been having and so many other things it

just it all makes sense when you put it

together it's part of the grand scheme

of things the reason for my being my

purpose Who I am the all-seeing eye yin

the yang the hua

do you understand Simon when did you eat

last you know you have serious troubles

with reality Lisa do you know that you I

mean you cut yourself off I cut mine yes

you do

I am NOT sitting in a glass box with

fake hair like some half-baked guru what

is this thing you're flying suits my

garment don't touch it Simon you're a

real person a regular person where's

your red hat I am NOT gonna discuss

complex scientific ideas with somebody

from the music department I was there

during the mescaline and during the

fasting for three weeks on grabs and

earphones Simon they hypnotized you

your friend becquer mr. wizard he washed

your brain and it shrunk

nobody hypnotized anybody I'm the same

person I was except I come from another

planet what planet I know this millions

of them are there is it Venus no it's

not Venus if you must know it's in the

Nebula Orion you come from the nebula

Orion yes I do

how do you know this how does anybody

know anything what do you mean how does

anybody know anything how does anybody

know anything what is this an

intergalactic Tom what lesshan I simply

asked you how do you know you come from

the Orion Nebula I can't handle this I

have a lot of problems and a lot of

responsibilities if you don't like Who I

am then I don't know what okay okay all

right okay okay it's been a long time

five weeks you crazy your body is

crawling with millions of deadly

microbes well why not you join because I

could die in a second that's why Simon

we could all die in a second the world

could explode terrible thing come here

what are you doing I've never made one

extraterrestrial Lisa it's it's

perfectly all right I've been completely

decontaminated and anyway we'll never

actually touch I promise you can't make

love without touching well yes you can

sort of think about it you brought a

thing from highschool stelazine / cotton

credibility too obvious I could make his

nose drop off super oak what do you say

find my identity dr. Carl Becker and his

colleagues were apparently unable to

prevent this despicable and cravenly act

but do not panic I'm unharmed and I'm in

good health I'll continue these

broadcasts every evening at this time so

promise you that this treachery will not

go unpunished

line for a full saturation you see under

machine he hasn't got your ordinary

human sense of ethics and fair play I
