If you've ever suspected that you're living in a computer simulation...

...there's a chance you're not wrong.

During an episode of Trackdown, shot in 1958, a conman comes to a small town and tricks the locals into building a wall in order to prevent the end of the world. Guess the conman's name.

For anybody who thinks this is too ridiculous to be real...it's real.

You old enough to name the actor exposing the con? Bonus for the tv series he starred in with another well known celebrity.....

Old enough to name the actor? I never even heard of Trackdown until this appeared on Twitter. The clip is so ridiculous I had to look it up just to make sure I wasn't posting a hoax.

I never heard of the series either, just recognized some of the faces that showed up in older series, westerns, Twilight Zone etc.

I think the actor I’m referencing is Robert Culp who costarred with Bill Cosby in the 60’s series I Spy.......young un. :lol:

I wonder if the orange menace saw this as a kid and tucked it away in his mind just in case he ever had a use for it.

It's not impossible that the Simpsons, "Monorail," was inspired by that episode of Trackdown, and that Trump was inspired by Monorail.

It's important to remember that one of the main purposes of fiction is to warn us of who we are...right now.

These are NOT EXTRAS from a TV SHOW:







The Leftidiocy/reality disconnect continues.

Blowing my mind right now.

Blowing my mind right now.

When I first saw you I was like, "Oh, screw you. This was made by some video editor for a professional company with too much time on his hands."

Same here. It's just too perfect. The guy isn't perfectly Trump-like, but the overall video and theme is just too much to handle for my brain right now.

I seem to remember this making the rounds during the election. Definitely freaky.

And Trump or no Trump, I’m about 50% sure we exist in some sort of simulation.

I honestly was looking closely at their lips to see if it was an edited video. Very odd indeed.
