Invasion of the Body Scanners – the Secret Truth

wherein (because it is a Friday) we peel the layers of the onion (in attempted homage to that Onion) and reveal the secret behind the recent prorugation of the Canadian Parliament. 

Is there also some connection to this and from appearances this?. You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Our story begins a number of years ago (not necessarily on Friday the 13th or otherwise).

Do we start here? At some point in the far past? We don’t need to.

Instead, we’ll start here  sometime in the latter part of the last century of the last millenium where, according to the appropriate caption, “During university, the young Ontario man started to feel like a Westerner and became a conservative”. One might conclude from that the the writer of the caption equated all Westerners and “conservatives” or perhaps had problems with logic.

We should recall Ambrose Bierce’s definition of “Conservative” as a noun, in The Devil’s Dictionary: “A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.”

In any event, that change of attribute, whatever it meant, apparently led to visits to places such as the Calgary Zoo (described in the earlier link).

In passing, compare the left-hand figure in the last picture to the left-hand figure in this photo from a documentary (?) about aliens visiting the planet and settling in Roswell, Nevada.

In any event, as of 1988 (backstory here) and later, yet, in 2001, the situation still seemed innocuous enough.

That state of affairs seems to continue through 2003: here (though consider the tie) and here (though the last scene gave some some reason to wonder).

But consider this, starting in 2004

By 2007 and here and, remarkably, this

But, most remarkably, this apparently undated picture

Which seems to bring us to this.

A figure who, based on obvious indicia, seems somehow related to the following record of an apparently historical incident, somewhere some years ago.

Note the warnings: “suddenly,while you’re asleep, they’ll absorb your mind” and “You’re next”.

(Vegetable Borg, so to speak? Sounds like the Swedish Chef. Listen carefully.)

You can also read about it here.

In any event, no doubt there’s some connection to this (recall the first photograph from the more distant past)

which you can now find here

but, from the copyright notice, comes from here which is the site for “The Gherkin – The satirical newspaper [reporting] true false news of past or future”.
