Processes
Steer sleepy nations,
Self beheaded
Populations,
Taters mashed
And changing stations,
From remote,
Couched concentrations,
Isis is
Public relations,
Enemies
Fueled by our rations.
Isis is
"And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city." – Isaiah 1:8

fueled by our rations indeed. 🙂
(and our guns, our money, our perfectly-matching fleets of pickup trucks, our professionally-printed little flags they carry everywhere, etc., etc…)
I mean, does anyone else just find it BEYOND absurd to believe that a true “terrorist” organization would really drive around waiving massive black flags in the air everywhere they go, as if to proclaim “Here we are! Aim your drones right HERE!”
I mean, come ON! To me it’s all starting to feel like something out of some eighties, B-action-movie, and we’re expecting Chuck Norris or someone to pop out at any moment and start taking out the masked, flag-waving baddies with karate kicks and motorcycle-mounted missile launchers… Aye carumba. It just, boggles the mind….
Ha ha. That’s funny. I think more people know than we’re aware of. Once you understand the nature of the performance, it does get quite predictable, and as you alluded, downright kitschy. I’ve written a lot about this in my media category. Here’s one that seems to echo your concerns. https://cucumberlodge.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/elephants/
Hang in there, and thanks for commenting.
Ha! That’s clever… and so appropo. We passed the era of “the” elephant in the room a long time ago, and are now soundly swimming in a sea of elephants. Who of us can even say we solidly know what the room actually looks like anymore?
