Summary

 

Hundreds of M.E.G.A. hat wearing alt-right wing fanatics converged with political grandstand on the East corner of the Silver Lake Meadow last Saturday afternoon shortly after 1PM. Fueled by xenophobic rage in response to fear mongering allegations by Bob (local conspiracy theorist, SLF-003), the zealots poured in from all sides, shouting half-baked slogans as spittle flew from their mouths, demanding a return to a ‘normalcy’ free from the threats of extraterrestrial invasion.


The smell of antiseptics hung in the air as the crowd awaited their speaker. According to the people next to me, the cooling system framed over the stage was misting down a bleach water solution, what they believed to be a natural repellant to the ET's amongst them.

"They make themselves look just like us," said the man next to me wearing a faded, white speckled t-shirt. "Dousing ourselves with bleach is the only way to know we're all pure humans, through and through."


The crowd went silent after their speaker took the stage. Months earlier, he would have been dismissed as a wacko. Today, amid the mass hysteria of the times, he is embraced as a prophet.

"Praise the lord, praise the sun, and—God damned—praise the bleach," he began.


Things changed for Bob last fall (SLF-003). Near his home at the base of Ivan Hill Terrace, he allegedly observed 7-10 little green men ascending the stairs. According to Bob, as they reached the top they shape-shifted into human forms under the approaching moonlight, leaving them virtually indistinguishable from the common passerby.


At first, the authorities brushed him off. Faithful to reporting all anomalies within the vicinity of the lake, my colleagues here at V.A.N.I.S.H. gave him a voice. Now, rather than brush him off, the local chapter of M.E.G.A. fanatics enveloped him within their cult of personality, repurposing him as the perfect fuel for their anti-immigration ire.


Blood drunk with attention, Bob orated wildly as he digressed through the virtues of America and his multiple abductions, rambling from one tangent to the next as the crowd gaped, mouth-breathing with hate.


Despite being the main event, I turned from the stage and began my short walk back home. I'd had enough. Did we, in some small way, cause this? In our pursuit of truth, did we give mis-information a voice?


We'll never know, a bigger part of myself offered solace. Against the Bob's of this world, there is no defense.
