"Charly’s Truth" The Horror Behind the Conspiracy Theory

0:05 Speaker 1: It lies in wait amidst your dreams, where nothing is ever how it seems. It is a portal to a terrifying world beyond the doorway to nightmare.

0:25 Speaker 2: Nightmare.

0:36 Speaker 1: Come in. Welcome. I'm Artemis Black. Like many people, I enjoy listening to podcasts, the opinions of other people. I'm old enough to remember tuning into talk shows on the radio when there were only a handful of programs. In this day and age, with the internet, there are now... thousands... Here it is, the most listened to radio show on the planet. Even the other stations are tuned in too.

1:15 Speaker 3: And welcome to Yes, It's True. I am your host, Charlie True. And today we've got a great video about my favorite subject. The men in black. Or, rather, the aliens. As a matter of fact, we have one right here with me.

1:34 Speaker 4: That is correct, Charlie. I am indeed. An alien.

1:40 Speaker 3: And exactly where are you from?

1:43 Speaker 4: You would not even be able to understand or pronounce the name of the planet. Your tiny world hasn't progressed to our level.

1:52 Speaker 3: But why are you here now?

1:55 Speaker 4: Because we had no choice.

1:59 Speaker 1: Our mystery drama, Charlie's Truth. was written especially for Doorway to Nightmare by Winslow Swan and edited by Crimson McKenzie. Our cast includes Raven Adams, Crimson McKenzie, and Winslow Swan. I'll return shortly with Act One.

2:18 Speaker 5: Act One.

2:34 Speaker 1: Mark Twain once said, a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. We live in an information age where everyone can search for anything by simply using their phone. The trick, of course, is to diligently search for the truth.

3:02 Speaker 3: And that is our show for tonight. Remember, I upload new videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I plead with you to like, share, and subscribe, and hit that notification button so you can get word when a new video uploads. Thank you so much for joining, and we shall see you next time on Yes, It's True. This is Charlie True saying goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the aliens bite.

3:33 Speaker 1: There you go, Troy.

3:36 Speaker 5: Another brilliant video for your channel.

3:39 Speaker 3: Thanks, Brad. I really appreciate you editing these.

3:42 Speaker 5: And what else would I be doing at three in the morning? Not like I have a job or anything.

3:48 Speaker 1: I know, I know.

3:51 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. But at least my subscribers will get a video tonight.

3:56 Speaker 5: Yeah, all five of them.

3:58 Speaker 3: Better than none. If at least one person knows the truth.

4:02 Speaker 2: I mean.

4:03 Speaker 3: besides me, then it's worth it.

4:05 Speaker 5: Hey, Charlie, I'm all for the truth. I'm also for the hundred bucks you pay me to edit this stuff.

4:13 Speaker 3: Um, yeah, about that. Look, I've only got fifty on.

4:17 Speaker 5: Me, and... Don't sweat it, man. Just keep your money.

4:23 Speaker 3: Thanks, man. I really appreciate... You.

4:25 Speaker 5: Can pay me next time. So, what's next week's video about?

4:30 Speaker 3: I've been doing a lot of research on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Mind Control Facility.

4:36 Speaker 5: You mean the research facility?

4:39 Speaker 3: If you want to believe that, fine. The truth is, why would you need 180 antennas? It's all the way to control the masses from a remote area.

4:51 Speaker 5: Yeah, this one sounds like your Area 51 show.

4:55 Speaker 3: You know, where.

4:56 Speaker 5: COVID was brought by aliens to wipe out part of the population to make room for, um, them.

5:05 Speaker 3: I'm still looking into that one.

5:08 Speaker 5: Well, I will say this for your show. It is extremely entertaining.

5:16 Speaker 3: You wait, Brad. One day, I'm going to find out the truth. The real truth about something. And it's going to change the world.

5:30 Speaker 5: Let me see. No, I've done that one. Even I know that one isn't true. Maybe. Hey, is somebody in there? Hello?

5:54 Speaker 3: The studio is closed for the night.

6:04 Speaker 4: Are you Charles Melvin Henderson?

6:07 Speaker 3: Um, it's actually Charlie Truth.

6:11 Speaker 4: You are THE Charlie Truth? The guy from YouTube.

6:17 Speaker 3: May I help you?

6:19 Speaker 4: Charlie, I'm here to help you.

6:21 Speaker 1: You.

6:22 Speaker 2: You.

6:24 Speaker 4: Are in a lot of trouble.

6:26 Speaker 3: Look, I paid those parking tickets.

6:29 Speaker 5: Charlie.

6:29 Speaker 3: Besides, my car got repossessed last week, so I haven't been able to park anywhere.

6:33 Speaker 5: Charlie.

6:34 Speaker 3: Which is why I take the bus now. Oh, if it's about that minor incident with the woman on the bus, it was entirely her fault, and I- Charlie!

6:44 Speaker 4: I'm not here for any of that. Oh.

6:46 Speaker 1: Um.

6:47 Speaker 2: Okay.

6:49 Speaker 4: Charlie, you have, or rather had- Five subscribers to your channel, correct?

6:56 Speaker 3: Yes, and I... Wait, what do you mean, had?

7:01 Speaker 4: You did a report last week about Colorado being a staging area for an invasion by aliens.

7:08 Speaker 3: Right, right. It's all tied into that so-called research station in Alaska.

7:13 Speaker 4: Charlie.

7:14 Speaker 3: And the vaccine that didn't contain a microchip, but an actual chemical to control... Charlie.

7:19 Speaker 1: The people.

7:19 Speaker 3: Whenever a certain commercial came on... Like on the radio, television, or even an internet feed. And then, and this is the really scary part... Charlie!

7:30 Speaker 4: Shut up and listen to me. They are after you.

7:34 Speaker 3: Oh, come on. Who would be after me?

7:38 Speaker 4: You are lucky I found you in time. Look, all five of your subscribers are dead.

7:46 Speaker 5: What?

7:48 Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

7:48 Speaker 1: They.

7:50 Speaker 4: Could make one or two look like accidents, but after that, well, I think they just decided to say the hell with it and took the other three out.

8:01 Speaker 2: Wait, no, no, no.

8:03 Speaker 3: Just wait a minute. Who are you anyway?

8:06 Speaker 5: Come on.

8:07 Speaker 4: I have to get you to a safe place. And now.

8:10 Speaker 3: But who are you?

8:13 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter who I am. We gotta go.

8:16 Speaker 1: Now.

8:17 Speaker 3: Hey, who's out there? I'm warning you. I.

8:22 Speaker 3: I have a gun.

8:24 Speaker 4: Do you really have a gun?

8:25 Speaker 3: Are you kidding? Don't you know about the chemical in the gunpowder that causes brain damage? Just by handling guns, it can reduce your IQ by 10 points.

8:35 Speaker 4: Forget it! Come on, let's get out of here!

8:47 Speaker 1: Miguel de Cervantes, the creator of Don Quixote, once said, Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water. I'll return with Act 2 shortly. Cal Thomas once said, One mark of a deteriorating society is when people cannot discern between truth and lies. Another is that they don't care and will believe whatever their itching ears want to hear.

9:49 Speaker 2: Really, Charlie? You really think that I don't have to get any sleep?

9:56 Speaker 3: Brad, shut up. I need a favor.

9:58 Speaker 2: Look, man, I really like your show, but can't editing wait until a decent hour? I gotta be at the studio for my own job in two hours and.

10:09 Speaker 3: Can you check on my subscribers?

10:12 Speaker 2: Charlie, you woke me out of a sound sleep to do some internet search?

10:20 Speaker 3: It's important.

10:22 Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

10:23 Speaker 5: Where are you?

10:25 Speaker 3: Just call me back as soon as you can.

10:30 Speaker 4: Is that your friend?

10:32 Speaker 2: Yeah.

10:33 Speaker 3: Brad Carlson. He does all of my editing work.

10:36 Speaker 4: You must not know about him.

10:38 Speaker 2: Yet.

10:40 Speaker 3: What do you mean?

10:42 Speaker 4: I mean, Charlie Truth, that the phone call you just made may have signed his death warrant.

10:48 Speaker 2: No.

10:49 Speaker 5: No.

10:50 Speaker 1: No way, man.

10:51 Speaker 3: My phone is encrypted.

10:53 Speaker 4: Charlie.

10:53 Speaker 3: Don't you know that cell phones can be tracked and they can listen in on your conversations?

10:57 Speaker 5: Charlie.

10:58 Speaker 3: Even turn on your camera and mic when you're not near it?

11:00 Speaker 5: Charlie!

11:02 Speaker 4: Yes, I know all of that, but even the best encryption can be broken.

11:10 Speaker 3: Brad, what did you find out?

11:12 Speaker 2: Charlie, what the hell is going on?

11:15 Speaker 3: Come on, Brad, what did you find out?

11:18 Speaker 2: They... Your subscribers?

11:22 Speaker 5: All five of them are dead.

11:30 Speaker 4: Find out where he's at!

11:31 Speaker 3: Brad, are you at home?

11:33 Speaker 2: No, I'm at a friend's house. She is not very happy with you at the moment.

11:39 Speaker 4: Tell him to get out of there. Throw his phone into the sewer and meet us at the corner of 12th and Main.

11:44 Speaker 3: Did you hear all of that, Brad?

11:46 Speaker 2: Who the hell is that, Charlie?

11:48 Speaker 5: Throw my phone where?

11:50 Speaker 4: Tell him.

11:51 Speaker 3: Listen, Brad.

11:53 Speaker 4: If you want to stay alive, do exactly as I tell you.

11:57 Speaker 3: Hey, that was my phone.

11:59 Speaker 4: Not anymore.

12:01 Speaker 3: I just paid it off to.

12:03 Speaker 4: Charlie, are you not paying attention? Five people are already dead because of you.

12:10 Speaker 3: But that doesn't make any sense. What did I say that would... It's all true, Charlie.

12:15 Speaker 4: Charlie?

12:16 Speaker 3: What is all true?

12:18 Speaker 4: Everything. Everything that you have put on your channel is true. Don't you get it? Area 51, the moon landing, COVID, the Alaska research facility, the deep state, all of it.

12:33 Speaker 5: Just.

12:35 Speaker 3: who are you?

12:36 Speaker 4: Someone who not only wants to keep you alive, but save your planet. Where is he?

12:58 Speaker 3: He probably thinks it's a joke.

13:00 Speaker 4: Wait, there he is, at the corner. That is Brad, isn't it?

13:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, hang on. Brad, my man, over here.

13:14 Speaker 1: Come on.

13:21 Speaker 5: Brad!

13:22 Speaker 4: Charlie, get in here now!

13:38 Speaker 3: It just disintegrated.

13:41 Speaker 4: I know. I saw.

13:43 Speaker 3: What hit him?

13:44 Speaker 4: Do you remember the Tunguska explosion? 1908? A thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima? Tesla was a hell of a genius. Others have picked up his work with lasers. First time I ever witnessed it.

14:02 Speaker 2: It sure is effective.

14:06 Speaker 3: Brad was my friend.

14:07 Speaker 2: I know, I know.

14:09 Speaker 4: I'm sorry. But look, Charlie, we got a lot to do.

14:13 Speaker 3: Like what?

14:14 Speaker 4: You were about to go live and let everyone know what happened.

14:18 Speaker 3: Where are we going?

14:20 Speaker 4: I'm going to show you something and then you can tell everyone the truth.

14:30 Speaker 1: Tad Williams once said, we tell lies when we are afraid. Afraid of what we don't know. Afraid of what others will think. Afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. I'll return shortly with our final lie.

15:11 Speaker 1: Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.

15:28 Speaker 3: Where the hell are we?

15:30 Speaker 4: Planning Zone C-149 They should be here any minute.

15:35 Speaker 3: Who should be here?

15:36 Speaker 4: The aliens. Who else?

15:39 Speaker 5: Look, Charlie.

15:40 Speaker 4: Their world is dying. They need some place to go. Earth was the most logical choice.

15:48 Speaker 3: And how do you know all this?

15:51 Speaker 4: Because... Because I am one of them. Are you almost ready?

16:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have to log on.

16:07 Speaker 4: Come on, we don't have much time.

16:09 Speaker 3: I know, I know. Okay, it's ready to go. Are you sure you want to do this?

16:16 Speaker 4: I've spent a long time on your planet. I've grown to know the people here. You are a relatively good species. You don't deserve to be. Just wiped out by them.

16:30 Speaker 3: Okay, then... Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen.

16:37 Speaker 4: Did you really have to put that in there?

16:40 Speaker 3: It's my opening. I always start out with my... Never mind.

16:43 Speaker 4: Just get on with it.

16:48 Speaker 3: This is Charlie Truth, and you are watching a live broadcast of... Yes, it's true.

16:54 Speaker 5: Charlie.

16:54 Speaker 3: The podcast and video blog that digs deep into the facts that... Charlie!

16:59 Speaker 4: Get on with it!

17:00 Speaker 3: Oh, uh, right.

17:02 Speaker 1: Um.

17:04 Speaker 3: Tonight, something incredible has happened. With me now is, um, you never did tell me your name.

17:14 Speaker 4: You would not be able to pronounce it. You can simply call me Kay.

17:20 Speaker 3: And you are from where?

17:21 Speaker 4: Again, you would not be able to pronounce it. I am from a distant galaxy. I lived in a world that is, well, dying.

17:32 Speaker 3: I'm very sorry to hear that.

17:34 Speaker 4: We have been searching for a new home, and your world is perfect for our kind.

17:40 Speaker 3: So, you are part of a vanguard for an invasion?

17:47 Speaker 4: Yes, I am.

17:49 Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait. That isn't what you told me.

17:59 Speaker 4: Of course not, Charlie. We monitored your show for a long time. You were very close to the truth, but the other night. You hit the nail on the head. We couldn't have that. At least, not yet.

18:17 Speaker 3: What's going on?

18:20 Speaker 1: You are.

18:20 Speaker 3: Oh, oh god. You're changing into.

18:25 Speaker 1: Into... This.

18:36 Speaker 4: Is what I really look like.

18:39 Speaker 1: The mind control fields are beginning to shut down.

18:43 Speaker 4: There is no longer a need to control you.

18:49 Speaker 3: But no one's going to know. No one, and, I mean, nobody, watches my channel.

18:57 Speaker 1: Look again, Charlie.

18:58 Speaker 3: Oh, what the? Over a million viewers?

19:01 Speaker 2: Live?

19:02 Speaker 3: Right now?

19:03 Speaker 5: You see, Charlie.

19:05 Speaker 4: All we needed was a spokesperson to announce our arrival. We are landing in every major part of the world. Remember what happened to Vlad?

19:16 Speaker 3: No, no, no, you can't.

19:19 Speaker 1: Oh, but we can.

19:21 Speaker 4: We tried to negotiate with your planet's government. We were promised much, but little was delivered. Now we are simply taking what we were supposed to be.

19:34 Speaker 1: Given.

19:35 Speaker 3: But what about me?

19:39 Speaker 5: You will go down in history.

19:41 Speaker 4: At least our history. As the man that changed.

19:48 Speaker 1: The world. Kay puts the laser beam away and smiles a sharp, toothy grin at the camera. I'll return shortly with a final lie. I mean, word. The Swiss-French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said that There are always four sides to a story. Your side, their side, the truth, and what really happened. Our cast included Raven Adams, Crimson McKenzie, and Winslow Swan. The story was edited by Crimson McKenzie and directed by Winslow Swan. This is Artemis Black, inviting you to return with us to the Doorway to Nightmare podcast for another adventure into the terrifying world of your imagination.

21:13 Speaker 1: Until next time, slumber peacefully. Epilogue. The Butler Did It.
