"We're going against the evil alien clones. ... I started with my wife."

Pat Hutchinson said he shot his wife, Fontaine, in the head yesterday because she, like most of the other people on the planet, had been taken over by alien clones.

[...]

He spoke calmly, but rambled, talking not only about clones but also about UFOs, aliens, cobras, "panther-lions," the CIA and a vast conspiracy.

As he watched police surround his house, he said he had "several" guns and was prepared to use them on anyone who made it past his "cobras and panther-lions."

"Me and God's creatures -- we're going to do the best we can with what we got to work with," Hutchinson said. "These police officers and these folks -- I got a feeling they're getting ready to die."

Asked to start at the beginning, he said, "At the end of World War II, a UFO crash-landed near the Russian border. ..."

Aliens "possess the upper echelons of our administration. There's only 735 true humans left in Lexington, less than 3 million left worldwide," he said.

Asked for the reason behind the shootings, Hutchinson said:

"A cobra came up to me on the farm and gave me a stick and said, 'God told me to give this to you.'"

"I control the tribe of the stick, about 250 panther-lions, thousands of cobras, " Hutchinson said.
:crazy:

Gotta start somewhere... :p

Come to think of it, you're looking a little alien-ish lately, zakur...

What does Alien-clone mean? Clones of aliens? Why do they look human then?
Did you think that by playing dumb you'd avoid suspicion? You don't fool me or my cobra and panther-lion (they all look like my avatar) army. We'll be looking for you...

This is actually a well-known delusion in medical literature. The deluded person believes his loved ones have been replaced by clones that look exactly like the "original" spouse, child, parent, etc.--but are actually aliens.

This actually brings up an interesting point. Such a delusion is as unfalsifiable, as logically consistent (if not more), and as explanatory as the common belief that all natural events were replaced with exact clones of those events, replicas which LOOK exactly the same, but in reality, are essentially different.

I mean, of course, the common belief that the original lightning bolt (say), a natural event caused by an unequal electrical charge between the earth and the clouds, was replaced by an exact replica which looks exactly the same, but is in reality a supernatural event caused by "god's will" (ditto for earthquakes, etc.) And goodness knows that people die and kill every day for THAT belief.

Why, then, is this person considered criminally insane while the other delusion is not only not punished, but praised?

Just guessing here, but I would say becuase in the one example nobody gets shot in the head, while in the other example somebody gets shot in the head.
 
I have to go wiht the fishie one on this. The people who murder in the name of the invisible sky-captain DO face punishment. Just look at that nutter who shot up the abortion clinic.

The main difference is that more people seem to suffer from that delusion, which is funny, since it is based on a lie told by the alien-clones.

But when someone goes around claiming everyone has been replaced by aliens, they might get taken in for some mental care. When someone goes around claiming natural disasters are the retribution of god that is accepted. The alien-clone guy might get help before they progress to shooting people in the head, the religious nut is far less likely to be questioned.

Oh REALLY? Just how many deaths is religion responsible for? A hell of a lot more than the "alien clone" delusion, I'll bet...
 
Why go to the expense of cloning aliens to look like humans and programming them with hidden agendas when the originals can be easily and cheaply controlled by Atlantean blood-spores?
 
Sad story, but I like the wild anti-logic of such stories: He claims that less that 3 million real people are left. Thats less than 0.001%! So since the aliens have already succeeded totally, why should they keep up the secrecy?? If I was...... mmm, let me rephrase that:

As the alien commander I can assure you that when less than 5% of the real people are left, I will simply issue a command to my trusty clones to go out and exterminate the remainder, then widely declare our victory.

Why do the nuts never realize they're nuts?
Seriously?

Because even considering the possibility that one's entire set of perceptions and belief might have no relationship with reality requires a certain breadth of mental vision. People that far gone don't have sufficient space in their mental notepad to consider such abstractions.

It's pretty much the same reason hallucinating people rarely consider the possibility that they're hallucinating. If you can question your sanity, that's moderately strong evidence that you're sane. (A principle that seems to elude the characters on old science-fiction disguised-social-commentary shows, for some reason...)
 
My god, they finally got Big Fig...no wait, that was Tennesee. Never mind...she's still out there....

I saw an interview once with a man and his wife, and the man suffered from this delusion. It had been going on for a couple years, and he was undergoing therapy. The wife (who was thought of as merely a clone - not an alien) stayed with him despite the hardship. She seemed to think he would eventually come out of it. It was rather interesting because it apparantly happened to him overnight. He woke up one morning, and just assumed his wife had been replaced during the night. He didn't harbor thoughts of murder with her, but stopped all physical & sexual contact. I was amazed the wife was hanging in there. I wish I could remember the source, 20/20 or Oprah or some claptrap.

What I don't understand is... if it's an EXACT replica IN EVERY DETAIL... WHAT THE HECK IS THE DIFFERENCE??? Who cares?
 
The problem seems to be that the brain centers responsible for unconscious recognition are damaged. And no matter how much people recognize that the "replicants" have all the properties of their loved ones, they're unable to override their emotional certainty that they've never seen them before.
