Big Unthinking Parrots Rule!

The ruler of the little country sees he is on the way out.  He has learned the lessons of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars and knows how to make money.  He has watched the big country bleed then butcher countries and he has also learned that trick.

He speaks to his puppet on the other side and tells him he will be rewarded highly for his obedience.  He tells Mr. Puppet to lob some missiles into the neighborhood of the little country where live the anarchists; that is, people who do not support the leader of the little country.  Mr Puppet obeys. 

The leader of the little country announces to the people of the little country that he will defend them for he has the two Goliaths: the one of the little country and the one of the big country.

The radio announcer he has hired speaks describing events as he is paid to describe them:   to the listeners of the little country and the big country.  He says we must defend our little country.   He says the big country must help defend the little country.

One Goliath goes into a room full of preschoolers with their teenage matron and smashes them with a huge club.  As they scream the announcer says, that is the war-cry of the Jihad Terrorists.  When the screaming stops he says, we have destroyed the terrorists.  The patriots wave flags and cheer as if it were a soccer goal.  We are strong!  We are valiant!  We are Great.  God is with us.

The other Goliath goes into another room full of preschoolers with their teenage matron and smashes them with his huge club.  As they scream in terror the announcers tells us the jihad Terrorists are resisting.  But as silence falls he announces, we have destroyed the terrorists.  The patriots wave flags and cheer as if it were a touchdown..  The cries emanate from the audience.  We are the strongest!  We are the greatest.  We are the best.  God is with us.

The counselor says to the leader of the little country, what if Mr. Puppet tells what we have done.  So the leader of the little country shoots a missle at the obedient puppet’s car and blows him up.  He won’t talk now.  The leader smiles knowing he is so clever.  He has the money and the votes.  Truly he loves himself for this deed he has brilliantly orchestrated.  Those others  who will profit also love him and will praise him and welcome him until the milk turns into poison.

The Cheering Crowds of each country put the smashed remains of the children in a bowl and the celebrating masses paint their faces in red intoxicated with ecstasy.  The Board of Directors demand more money for the fees of Goliath are not cheap and the money goes into their pockets.

The children are now in the arms of God.  God is with them.  Their blood is on the faces of those who are great; those who are victorious;  those who are the BEST;  those who are jubilant that the wealth is theirs but the blood belongs to someone else.
