Were They Seeking Contact With Real Demons Inside Alternate Dimensions?
The hit Netflix series Stranger Things was clearly influenced by Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, with a heaping helping of The X-Files and Twin Peaks thrown in for good measure.
But some of its creepiest source material comes from the real world. Past the plot points about the Upside-Down and the slime monsters among us are references to government mind-control programs and covert experiments in telepathy that actually took place in the U.S. throughout the 20th century – like MKUltra and Stargate Project. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Matt and Ross Duffer, the brothers behind the show, mentioned some of this inspiration: “We wanted the supernatural element to be grounded in science in some way,” Matt says.
“As ridiculous as it is, the monster [in the alternate dimension] doesn’t come from a spiritual domain and it’s not connected to any religion. It made it scarier. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I believe in aliens and alternate dimensions.”
But which elements are more fact than fiction? Here are five examples from the show that had real-life equivalents – some of them freaky enough to make monsters look like an appealing alternative. Obviously spoilers abound, so come back later if you’re not done with the show yet.

Furious China sees U.S. THAAD missile defense system for South Korea as direct threat
U.S. military officials are trying to pacify a furious China in the wake of Washington’s plan to deploy a battery of advanced missile defense systems in South Korea, insisting to angry military leaders in Beijing that the weapons would be solely targeting ballistic missile threats from North Korea and not undercut China’s own military deterrent.
“If THAAD is deployed, it will sour [South Korea‘s] relations with China and Russia, trigger an arms race and damage trade,” the state-controlled China Daily newspaper wrote in an editorial Thursday. “It will make it difficult for the country to seek cooperation from China and Russia in denuclearizing the peninsula.”
Army Gen. Vincent Brooks, commander of U.S. Forces-Korea, met in Seoul on Thursday with Vice Adm. James D. Syring, U.S. Missile Defense Agency chief, to discuss the deployment. THAAD is expected to arrive in South Korea by next year.

"Expert" Says Rising Rapes In Sweden Due To Global Warming Not to Muslim Immigration
Psychotherapist and “expert on sexual criminals," Börje Svensson, has finally figured out the mystery behind rising sexual assaults in Sweden. Want to guess where he places the blame? Well, if you guessed ManBearPig then you're absolutely right! And we thought it might have something to do with the massive spike in refugees flooding into Sweden from countries that don't really share the same "respect" for women as the Western world.
Now we just feel awful for misplacing the blame. Still sometimes we feel like ManBearPig probably carries more than his fair share of the blame for the problems of the world (see "Bernie Sanders 'Reveals' The Real Cause Of Terrorism... Climate Change").
Per an article published by Breitbart London:
Providing the perfect reason that absolves the Swedish establishment of all responsibility, Svensson described how we have been a bit unlucky with the weather this year. Hopefully we will have a colder summer next year and sexual crimes will then be an old memory linked to that one hot Swedish summer. If by any chance, there are still rapes during a colder summer, our experts will simply find another scapegoat rather than looking straight at the imported criminals.
Just in case you're not the type to blindly accept the wisdom of our educated elites we thought we'd share some silly statistics with you just for fun. Does seem odd that rising sexual assaults happen to overlap with a massive spike in asylum applications from the predominantly Muslim countries of the Middle East and Northern Africa.
Obviously, the rape epidemic in Europe is no laughing matter with new reports of violent sexual assaults being reported daily. The crisis is something we've discussed on numerous occasions recently (see "Germany's Migrant Rape Crisis Spirals Out Of Control" and "Sweden's Migrant Rape Epidemic Explained"). Unfortunately, it's difficult to combat a problem like this when elected officials find it "inconvenient" to admit the true root of the crisis.
