Columbo & NFL Enter the Twilight Zone

Columbo & NFL Enter the Twilight Zone

Yes, everyone read that title correctly.

Once again, you’re about to enter the twilight zone of Post-Modern Reality Simulation.

Ordinarily, no one would expect there to be connections between classic television shows such as The Twilight Zone, Columbo, and a legendary NFL football coach.

But as everyone who frequents this site has surely learned – though the majority have been psychologically conditioned since birth to believe otherwise – we’re not living in an ordinary world.

Screenwriter, playwright, television and narration screen host Rod Serling – best known for his live television dramas and his anthology television series The Twilight Zone – enjoyed a unique career while in the public’s eye.

How do we know this?

There exists empirical evidence, the creator, narrator and host of the vintage, ground-breaking, and formerly popular television program The Twilight Zone, which featured half-hour long vignettes of speculative fiction during the era of the early 1960’s, did not “die” in the mid-1970’s, but went on to become mainstream television’s lovable, bumbling, but oh so calculating Los Angeles police Lieutenant, Columbo.

Not only was it discovered the career arc of both Serling’s and Falk’s official biographies merge chronologically, but Serling’s features connections to the US military, connections which we’ve witnessed, time and again, represent a suspicious and rather pertinent commonality between nearly every celebrity entertainer/popular culture figure examined in the past.

Further examination of Falk’s biographies revealed telling connections to the prominent family of American merchant bankers, the Rockefellers, and to the historically prescient socio-political formulation of anarcho-communism/Marxism. Continue reading “Into The Twilight Zone with Detective Columbo”
