Killing Comedy | Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee

Seth Dillon is the CEO of The Babylon Bee, where they write satire for a living. You’d think that would be easy in today’s absurd world, but in reality, it’s just the opposite. Seth explains why this endangers the very concept of free speech and the open exchange of ideas.

Script: “The world has become too absurd to be satirized.” The great English writer, G.K. Chesterton, said that way back in 1911, long before math was considered racist and biological men were allowed to compete against women in sports. One can only imagine what he would say if he were alive today. At The Babylon Bee, where we write satire for a living, we’re feeling Chesterton’s pain in a big way. Just look at these headlines that were satirical at the time we wrote them… On May 9, 2017, we ran this headline:  ‘2+2=4,’ Insists Closed-Minded Bigot  That was a joke, of course. But on August 10, 2020, the Washington Examiner published this story:  Math professor claims equation 2+2=4 ‘reeks of white supremacist patriarchy’ On August 13, 2020, we ran this headline:  BLM Rioters Awarded Nobel Peace Prize  At the time we thought this was obvious satire, but on January 29, 2021, this story was published in The Guardian:  Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel Peace Prize On March 25, 2020, we ran this headline:  Pants Sales Plummet As Everyone Working From Home  The very next day, this story appeared in Yahoo! Finance:  Amid coronavirus, Walmart says it’s seeing increased sales of tops—but not bottoms I could go on. Our satirical headlines are proving to be prophetic with astonishing regularity. So what does this mean for humor and satire? Well, for one thing, it makes our job much more difficult. You might be surprised to hear that. The crazier reality is, the easier it is to make fun of, right? Actually, it’s the opposite. Satire exaggerates the truth to make a point. But when reality is this absurd, and extreme views and behavior are commonplace, how do you go a step beyond it? Almost anything we publish now ends up being believable. And much of it ends up actually coming true, as you’ve just seen. This is exactly what Chesterton was talking about. It’s one of the ways the left is killing satire: by turning reality into a parody of itself. There’s another, more intentional and insidious way the left is killing satire, and that’s through censorship. We published an article a couple of years ago with this over-the-top headline:  CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine To Spin News Before Publication  Believe it or not, Snopes fact-checked this story. I mean, come on…a washing machine? To spin the news? That’s an obvious joke. But Snopes fact-checked it and rated it “false”—as if we had written a serious story.  It used to be that jokes were either funny or not—they made you laugh, or they didn’t—but now, in the fact-checking age, we’re giving them a truth rating. Jokes are no longer funny—they’re false. And false information is dangerous. In response to the Snopes fact check, Facebook warned us that we’d be demonetized and de-platformed if we continued publishing “fake news.” It should go without saying that there’s a big difference between fake news—which is meant to deceive—and satire, which is meant to entertain and inform through mockery, humor, and irony. But the left benefits by blurring this distinction. If they can successfully lump us in with fake news, then they can shut us down. It’s that simple. These fact checks—which often smear us by suggesting we’re purposefully misleading people—are nothing more than a creative, conniving way of justifying censorship. But why would anyone want to censor satire? Why is Facebook paying USA Today to write lengthy refutations of our jokes? (Yes, they actually do that.) Because humor is ultimately a vehicle for truth delivery, and the truth can be offensive. Think about all the things you’re not allowed to say anymore—not because they’re false, but because they make people uncomfortable. Satire cuts right through the pretense and political correctness to expose uncomfortable truths, and it does so more ruthlessly and effectively than anything else.

Urgent Message from Christ | Christ Returns, Speaks His Truth

Urgent message from Christ

CHRIST says:
I am coming through the mind of my Recorder because there is something URGENT I have to say to you!

Love your enemies; forgive those who ill-use you; pray for those who speak evil of you, … and if you cannot do this in your own strength, seek by all possible means to do it in the power of spirit – Divine Consciousness.

PRAY and MEDITATE and ask for help. It will be given you if you persist.

If the ego persists in forcing your thoughts downward again to virulence and anger and raising all kinds of arguments as to why you should condemn someone who has deeply hurt and even wounded you physically, go into meditation again and again, seeking insight and relief from your dilemma, asking to have these troublesome recurring angry and vindictive thoughts removed from you…
NOT to please God as you have been taught by the churches
but to protect yourself from the whiplash of your angry thoughts which rebound in your lives bearing violent upheavals and further rows and arguments to deal with.

FOR – whatever power you give to resentful thoughts, that power will send a direct electrical stream of consciousness to the person who hurt you, – AND the stream of consciousness returns, zinging its way back to you in due course, like a boomerang.

You must know that every electrical field creates a like magnetic field – the two always work together – so that WHAT GOES OUT EVENTUALLY RETURNS.

This is a scientific law of existence but what science does not yet admit is this:

Electrical force powers the mind; it is the consciousness impulse of ‘Get Going’ in the mind. Electrical force is a facet of consciousness.

Two-faced Magnetism powers the human and animal emotions – it ‘attracts’ and it ‘repels’. It is the impulse of human love and the impulse of hatred.
Magnetism is experienced by all living things as emotion – feeling.

I have described this Truth fully in my Letters 5 and 6. Not only this, scientific medical knowledge has discovered (what I understood so well in Palestine, 2000 years ago) that all the thoughts taking form in your brain descend into your pituitary gland via your hypothalamus, and the negativity and emotional trauma (lowered vibrations) they contain is passed on to your organs, blood and entire body, causing a depletion in energy and eventual illness.

This is the phenomenon producing psycho-somatic ailments acknowledged by the medical profession. When in Palestine 2000 years ago, I told the Jews not to worry about drinking from unwashed cups but to
take note of and be concerned about what came out of their mouths. I have translated what was reported
in the gospels in the New Testament into the kind of words I actually spoke to the Jews – who did not have the remotest idea of what I was trying to tell them. And sadly, the various ‘Christian’ churches are
just as ignorant today.

How could they understand – they did not have the enlightenment I received in the Desert which illumined my mind and imprinted in my mind the spiritual knowledge of the origins of creation and laws of existence.

But YOU, who live in your world today, have had countless teachers coming to earth, explaining scientific facts and also mystics who have led you into metaphysical, spiritual truths, preparing you for my Letters which contain the very highest Truth of all – the true Nature of your Source of Origin which you term God, and the Universal Laws of Existence.

I now want you to think about the truly terrible and outrageous works certain people initiate in your world,
– despite all these Teachers of facets of Truth.

The ongoing bloodshed in Iraq is a case which should make you all think deeply about the likely boomerang from such destructive actions.

I want you to think of this situation from a spiritual viewpoint which does not CONDEMN but sees the ‘truth’ inherent in the thoughts and actions involved in the situation.

Here you had a man, Saddam Hussein who was determined to take power in Iraq and bring about peace and plenty for his people. Unevolved in true spirituality, he used most harsh and violent ways to control a nation, to silence those people who gave him problems. These people used violence in an uprising against him and he poured violence back on them. Here were a tyrannical Dictator and a sect of people of the same mental and moral level – their spiritual vibrations, despite all the prayer and outward religious show, were as dark and dense and low as it is possible to attain in your world today. Hussein and these unruly people deserved each other.

The Iraqi people tolerated him, some even admired and applauded him, because he kept peace for a volatile nation and gave them a chance to live their daily lives as peacefully as their innately aggressive natures would permit them.

He fell foul of the USA, ANGERED ITS LEADERS, and equally governed by ego, the Leaders decided to punish Saddam Hussein by imposing sanctions. Later on, a humanitarian impulse prompted the inauguration of a system ‘Oil for Food’ which helped the hungry people of Iraq and gave America access to the oil they needed. But this measure was a severe blow to Hussein’s pride and did not alleviate the national deprivation of general luxury and everyday goods enjoyed by their neighbors.

I want you, people of the world, to give empathetic thought to the enormous volumes of resentment, hatred, anguish, brought about by this action of a nation strong in their Abundant Wealth, armaments, trained soldiers, sailors and airmen.

I want you to understand that such NATIONAL EMOTION becomes a ‘living force’ of destruction of huge proportions.

It is certain that NO ONE truly on the path of CHRIST’S WAY – MY WAY – would ever have followed such a sadistic course. Faced with the problem of having to deal with a Saddam Hussein, such a leader, enlightened in the spiritual and scientific Laws of Existence, would have called a session of enlightened people to meet to meditate and to ask for guidance.

My guidance would most certainly have been to call a meeting with Saddam Hussein and to point out the tragedy which would eventually result from the impasse between the two countries. An enlightened Leader, instead of ‘lording it’ over Hussein and threatening him with war, would have asked him and his advisors to draw up a document, an agreement which both countries could live with in friendship, and which would promote a growth and domestic enrichment program for both countries.

Such an enlightened Leader would then read Iraqi proposals to establish peace and harmony, would discuss it peacefully with a sincere desire to establish well-being for all. He would call on his enlightened people to meditate and bring back any adjustments WHICH HAD BEEN RECEIVED FROM MEDITATION.

In this way, the people under Saddam Hussein would have been gradually freed from the stranglehold of a tyrant, Saddam himself would have seen the benefits derived from a peaceful approach, instead of an aggressive one, and Arab States would have been impressed by the success of the venture. This would also have caused the Muslims to re-think their present interpretation of the Qur’an.

But what is the acknowledged and generally accepted WORLDLY WAY? What has the ‘Human Spirit’ – the Human Ego accomplished today?
Consider whether there can be any lasting benefit from this behavior outlined below?

A peaceful nation, a peaceful people, already deprived of normal trade facilities with other nations, have been bombed nightly. Their buildings, built with great effort and expenditure of money, and offering various services to the people, are destroyed.

Night after night, innocent people have been subjected to the terror of bombs, asking themselves – ‘Where will they fall? Who will be hit? Will they find us in the rubble? Will we lose a family member? Will we all be killed?

What have these people done to deserve such a terrifying ordeal other than knuckle down and try to live as happily as they could under a tyrant whom the USA hates?

Prior to this, in USA, another tyrannical fanatic sent planes to destroy the twin towers of the Trade Centre in New York. A great cry of fury, anger, revenge arose from the American people. They lost many people
– loved ones – in the destruction. Every year, there are Christian church services remembering the dead and a great many tears are shed in the deluge of grief thinking of them.

Think for a moment: ‘Christian Services’ – is there any talk of FORGIVENESS of those who were instrumental in this destruction?

Are Americans shedding tears for the innocents who died under the hail of bombs deposited night after night for no good reason other than a vitriolic hatred of Hussein? Do they hold services for the Iraqi dead? Do they even consider that they have murdered innocents – who had no protection against the USA horrific weapons and had never done them a moment’s harm?

Just consider the weight of the emotional distress unleashed by all of this insufferable and arrogant destruction of another country – destruction which has freed all the rebel fighting groups which Hussein had kept in check. Unleashed a most foul mode of killing others – the suicide bombs. Every time such bombs go off – thus killing innocent bystanders, the Americans who supported war against Iraq, should realize that it was their support which made such suicide bombing possible.

Just consider the unleashing of the gigantic, untold emotional vibrations of horror, hate, revenge, and retaliation that is now directed at America.

How do the Americans think that all this ‘Hatred Energy’ will be manifested against them?

Because it will be manifested as death and destruction. It is a law of existence. Even ‘Christian’ churches claim to believe this law.

Where there is no FORGIVENESS there is retribution in the form of Cause and Effect.

FORGIVENESS, complete and total and LOVING, dispels the violent hatred energies. Without forgiveness, they gather momentum from the ongoing resentment of the opponent.

Read the article on ‘Cracks in your planet’ and then ask yourselves how all this terrifying load of hate will be manifested. Who, in America, will – SOONER OR LATER – be the targets?

Therefore I tell you clearly: In your home, in your community, in your town, in your State, in your country – FORGIVE whoever has injured you in any way – big or small. Let this word ring out across your land through any means you have.

And if you cannot forgive easily because your ego will not let you – then bring your hurt and anger to Divine Consciousness (which I termed the ‘Father’ when in Palestine) and ask for Its inflow of Spiritual Directing Power to gently ease and remove the burden from your minds.

Will your religions tell you this? No, they did not when I was in Palestine and they will not now.

Indeed, those who occupy the highest positions in the most powerful nations, and cause the most horrific damage in the world are received with pomp and ceremony, smiles and handshakes by the religious leaders of the various ‘Christian’ religions. The blind grip hands and give blessings to the blind.

To hear TRUTH – YOU MUST COME DIRECT TO ME. I am truly alive and universal in being; COME and I will receive your call and will lovingly respond to it.

Have the courage to join CHRIST’S WAY and to follow the teachings I have brought the world in my Letters. They will show you how to remain in tune and accord with the LAWS of EXISTENCE.

They will help you come into harmony with the universe itself. And all things will then work towards your greatest good and happiness and protection.
