Humans at large don’t know it, but they’re embroiled in a telepathic war with malevolent alien abductors. Capable of reading and controlling minds from 100 miles away, the aliens can make humans submissive and passive to take them away. At least according to Michael Menkin, who has designed what he (and others) find to be the only solution to the alien telepathy crisis: the thought-screen helmet. On his site he provides step by step instructions for constructing such headgear with common hats and shielding material available from 3M. Again, he doesn’t sell them, he only gives instructions for construction on his site.

Also there he provides further information about the brewing telepathy war, potential weaknesses of the aliens, a possible photo of one, and testimonials for the helmets he has designed. Science fiction literature excerpts that provided the inspiration for the thought screen (at least in name) are also on the site. Such protection, as Menkin describes it, is cheaply assembled but works so well as to be a good if not essential addition to any wardrobe.
