NOTICE FROM UPSTAIRS: [1]

I won’t sit here and try to list or categorize every outrageous action taken by the King. Far too large a book for one man alone to write. Instead of listing the fearful facts of fascist tyranny, let us look at the pathetic public pleadings of the paid parsimonious press. An airliner collided with a military helicopter or the other way around. Obviously, somebody was where they weren’t supposed to be. The cause of the accident was clearly pilot error.

The media concentrates on camera angles and finding black boxes. Then turns its focus on the poor victims like vultures. It’s not enough you’re dead, now your picture and life is open for public examination. Your grieving relatives have cameras shoved in their faces like you just landed on the moon with Neil and Buzz. It’s all very Orwellian. Talk about the victims. Avoid talking about the actual cause. Talk around it! Talk about all the details of the accident but avoid discussing the actual cause of the accident. I wonder what the black box will tell us?

Growing up in Chicago, we had Meigs field situated right on the lakefront. And if you had a private jet, you could land at Meigs and have your limo pick you up and you could be at the Palmer House or Marshall Fields or Oprah’s house in ten minutes. The only problem was the birds. Every couple of years someone would suck in a bird on take off and nose dive to certain death into Lake Chicago. (formerly Michigan) The city debated closing Meigs for decades, but all the rich folks wanted it open. Finally, someone in authority dug the runway up.

Now imagine a similar airport, very convenient but very dangerous. Useful to Congress critters and high-ranking government officials. Always a steady air traffic flow coming into DC. The airlines will take all the gate openings they can get. So, the King makes an outrageously bigoted statement about the accident. The White Play Palace issues a statement even more bigoted and outrageous in the King’s defense. That children, is called falling on your sword for the King. If the King publicly eats a live toad, then you must eat two live toads. To show the King as normal in the public’s eyes.

The King blames the accident on DEI. The White play Palace says we should all be ashamed of ourselves for bringing race into it. And the media focuses on the victims. Good job Winston! Just twist that story up like a Bavarian pretzel. Tug at their heart strings and leave rational thought out of this. They won’t ask why it happened if you don’t bring it up.

Meanwhile, the King again threatens tariffs prompting a Wall Street stock sell off of 350 points. Markets get into moods and if you scare them or kick them enough. They can get into a mood where the positives disappear, and a mood of dark cynicism takes over. A possible tariff could make the deal unprofitable, so scrap it. Scrap the new housing development or the new factory. Now is not the time to go opening new locations. The seas are too choppy to set sail now. The numbers begin sinking, and all the financial experts agree, “See? We were right all along!”

Already facing headwinds, imagine you are a pharmaceutical company with a new cancer drug. All you have to do is get it past RFK Jr. Better to pick up your satchel and take the bus to Europe. Screw it! It’s not worth the time and or the trouble. Ditto, to all kinds of innovation. See ya, in four years.

Maybe now is not a good time to buy a house, what with all the economic rumblings of a trade war. I better not buy that new car right now. As you sow so shall you reap! All that huffing and puffing and threatening to blow your house down can eventually blow your own house down. Do you remember that new car you’re not going to buy? Many of the parts will be tariffed from Mexico, so the price is bound to go up. Fortunately, you’re not buying the car!

The King, like a balloon rises on hot air alone. Blah, blah, blah the blah a tariff on this and a tariff on that! A 90% percent tariff on all imported slide whistles and joy buzzers. “I’m going to huff and puff and make a lot of noise now! Here I come! (stomp, stomp) You better give me what I want. (stomp, stomp) You had better not make me angry! (stomp, stomp) Or I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow my own house down!”

The media will not report on the fearful foibles of the fractured King. The King starts a new gastronomic trend…eating live toads. Soon everyone will be doing it. I bet the price of live toads will skyrocket! Someday in the years to come, we will probably all be eating live toads and have the King to thank for it. Some say even George Washington ate live toads though there is no actual proof.

NOTICE FROM UPSTAIRS: Do not make the King angry!

It is not the individual events of the King which needs reporting. It is the totality of the crime, not the individual crimes. Nobody cares about Hitler’s driving record. But the crime inside the crime is intentionally not reporting the news or reporting the wrong news, and making propaganda look as simple as the average Trump voter. That’s the crime they actually killed Socrates for, making the lesser cause appear to be the greater.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

― George Orwell
