C.S. Lewis left behind an unfinished manuscript titled, The Dark Tower that, if memory serves, was published posthumously by his estate. I last read this over forty years ago, but there is one scene in the book that stands out to me.

In brief, there is a humanlike creature residing in the upper chamber of a great tower. This being has a black, pointed horn protruding from its forehead. Volunteers, convinced of great reward, offer themselves to this creature and are set upon and “stung” in the back of the neck. The venom reduces these volunteers to mindless automatons that now obey any command given them by their new master.

You made reference to the squad of four who have fallen in line with the accepted progressive dogma. It is as if they are all reading from prepared scripts.

There is one being called the prince of the power of the air in the second chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

Some Christians today hold the view that God has slackened the metaphorical leash on this dark, malevolent prince in order to permit him increased power over the people of earth.

Many events and behaviors I have witnessed over the past three and a half years defy any kind of logical explanation. I have never seen anything even remotely close to the level of irrationality currently being acted out across the West.

Whether you believe in the God of the Bible, the deities of the Hindu pantheon or in no god at all, it is impossible to deny that there is someone or something acting on the personalities of human beings that cannot be explained by science.
