Chapter Seven: Ball of Confusion

CATEGORY

Traders of goods and services

Soldiers of fortune…

For god …and country…

Paid to preserve

Whichever community

They were representing

(oftimes, helping themselves)

Merchants,

Sometimes thieves …and con men…

Salesmen for every manner of purpose

Leaders of families,

Systems of belief, religion

Or guilds…

 

Politicians …for hire…

Balanced by lawmakers

To keep them …in check…

Sometimes …accomplices…

Voted in and out …of position…

Based upon, what leaders

Polite society …embraced…

Slowly,, at first…

Came brief glimpses

Of the promised land

Sparks flew …in the minds,

Which coveted the means  

To master a distortion, so covert…

That even though …hidden in plain sight…  

Acceptable liberties…

Might be taken to the extreme

And scaled back, just enough…

To become the accepted philosophy

Of the “Party …of the people”

 

At the special effects laboratory…

After numerous practice runs

At third world country sites

…”they” were confident

With a few tweaks… the formula

Would perform flawlessly…

The political system

Had always operated

...with a degree of corruption

Which varied greatly …at times…

Due to the prevailing sentiments

Of the ruling class…

From the onset…

The revolution

Had been backed by fiscal powers…

Bullets, bombs…. Beans and bacon…

Financed the core

But now with the corporate structure of the media

Possibilities were unlimited

The will of the people could be manipulated

By turning one side against another

On so many issues …people would become

So exhausted …as to become desensitized…

To the point they could be led to ignore

All but the basal instincts

And those fires would be stoked

By the master …of ceremonies

No greater Con man

…had ever achieved such stature

His views might lean towards the extreme…

But he would serve

As the lightning rod …of the platform…

The distraction …would be complete…

 

 

Putin was pleased…

America …had fallen

The illusion of greatness…

Images of prosperous futures

Beyond end…

The political undercurrents,

Long studied

By the soviet branch operatives

Of the …World of Evil

Commissars… assigned by Putin

To carry out

The greatest takedown

…in history…

America

 

Back to the flashbacks

Continued…

According to program…

Putin smiled…

His enemies would be so confused

They would attack one another

…to the end

…of the democratic republic

 

The noble experiment …would revert

Back to its roots

Back to it’s game of thrones

Where, he …the master of chaos…

Would

Undoubtedly prevail.
