"Marty, I Need to See You in my Office." (Blogophilia 13.13)
Lucious Beezlebub and Marty Mammon are having an impromptu status meeting in the Executive Conference Room at Devil’s Quill Communications. Arlington VA
“Marty?”
“Yes, Mr. Beezlebub?”
“I was looking at the latest reports from the ‘Lucky 13’ plague deployment…”
“They call it Covid topside.”
“Yes, Covid... it looks like the script has called up some older pain routines from times gone by.”
“Yes, sir. But those are features, not bugs. An incognito plant in the Zuckerman organization suggested it for extra confusion and chaos.”
“Doesn’t he know those programs result in prayers and petitions to Maker?”
“Frankly, most mortals I’ve run into don’t care. It’s like they don’t believe either of us exists.”
“What about Zuckerberg himself? Does he believe?
“Our source says he hedges his bets like a good demon.”
“Good. That’s what I like to hear. Now, what about this Frump fellow?”
“That’s Trump, Sir.”
“Whatever. Was that Nixon’s idea?”
“Yes, Sir. He was chosen because he is an incompetent fool enhancing the script.”
“I’m not sure if I like this guy. He’s evil enough but too reckless. Like this latest stunt in front of the church. He’s acting like he’s on safari for his enemies”
“When we were hashing out the deployment, we looked at a few other people and places and found too much apathy. We realized recklessness was needed to accomplish the goal. Remember Hitler?”
“All too well.”
“We wanted someone with his personality, but so stupid he wouldn’t accidentally trip the Paradise or 144-K scripts. Nixon met him not long before he left topside and was impressed at his ability as a warrior to be used.”
“And the warrior doesn’t need a crowd, they need a tribe?”
“Correct. Much the exploit is tribe building.”
“I see. Yes, that has been effective before. I do need to caution you on something. Maker still does answer his mail. If he thinks we are pressing too hard, he’ll be down here to shut the thing down.”
“I’m aware of that. My counterpart at Guardian Angels already has complained about the increased workload.”
“Just be careful...and keep up the good work.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
I hate conspiracy theories, but this one is almost too close
ReplyDeleteIt's as good as anything Art Bell could come up with.
DeleteZuckerman is a good demon, interesting. 8 points Earthling
