Secret Weapon
Before The State demonized me to death, i foot-soldiered until i was 48 - hailed as: a war hero
According to mythe bio,historians, i’m tall, strong, courageous - cool in pressure situations - known for my endurance
If that sounds sexy - sorry to ruin it: i’m … ugly as sin
Now that i find myself re-embedded in civilized society, i still feel like an outsider
Of course, the horrors of war follow you home, but a side-effect of accepting that as a reality, is: theyit dissolvedissolves a lotta other bs in ya head
Leaving a residual ability to detect: fake projecting
An active interest in it. It’s this same inquisitiveness that provoked the furious headwind of intellectual insecurityhostility.
Ironically, i’m an ignoramus - first to admit it - just some bloke - thirsting to learn - by conversing with: The Experts
How bad can that be …?
As it happened,happened … quite early in my journey of inquiry,inquiry - a pattern formed: our elites, are, seemingly, not as wise as they would have us believe
Initially, i thought: they might be glad to discover the error of their thinking … … in the spirit of human endeavour … ! Together lift the lid on it !
See, told you i’m an idiot
SoI heredon’t seek conflict, the opposite, but i am,end stuckup incontributing theto it
Therefore i am … reporting live from: the-thick-of-it.
In this .. hostile .. struggle/mess, my secret weapon is:
a Question
Life is, in my estimation:(imperfect) estimation, a wondrous Investigation
A mystery … to be unravelled … One question, one (straight)valid) answer, one piece of the puzzle at a time
I’m somewhat anal re: nailing down the details - stripping back the hypocritical crap - to get at:illuminate: the actual truth
WhichWhich’ll usually bearsbear, in my experience, no resemblance to: The Official Version
For making that observation, The State brandednarrated me:me as: an activist nuisance - a corrupter of youth - a pestdisease to be eradicated
I say The State, but the main-man stage-managing the case against meme* is a wealthy son of an industry mogul - which is the reason hehe’s now a powerful politician
Before that, Dad’s-dough was made:integral in making him: generalGeneral of a warWar fleetFleet
How did he handle himself in the heat of battle? Well … 10 years ago, he was charged with: treason - for: failing to fire a shot when everyone was relying on him to complete his mission
But here’s the real beauty of money - he got off. Why?Coz ... : he bribed the jury - literally the first human to ever do it. A true visionary.visionary Living proof that: Being a politician of means means … never having to feel contrition
Once the verdict was in, i was given a chance to: Beg The Mercy of THE Court
What punishment ought you get for your crimes, then, in your opinion?
I was meant to recant, say: exile. Give everyone a way out
But to hell with that. I replied:
How ‘bout a small government-paid stipend:stipend, in perpetuity … ? !
Enough for meals is fine. I'm already seventy … so ….great deal financially for ya tax-funded ORG entity
Make itit: in In appreciation of how well (redacted) fought - for free - to reveal a threat to public health & safety. Specifically:Namely: The Establishment’s Thought-Control mentality…
They didn’t go for that, as we know, due to their roiling malice. I didn’t repent. (Guesses)
TheThey don’t care for that, as we’ve covered. Too intoxicated by their love affair with their own roiling malice (Guesses)
Fittingly, the end was: a poisoned chalice - hemlock - concocted by the resident alchemist - he’s nervous, trembling as he holds the cup
HeBut i’m not. The scene is … exactly like i’d pictured it. The way it was tryingalways togonna administerbe. it, butWith wasa nervoussteady ashand, fucki cheerfully accept it - i said: It’s ok, givedrain it herein -one i'll drink it myselfgulp
By so doing, i transcend death
With my lastdying breath i say :say: i owe a cockerel to AsclepiusAsclepius. (the last person to become a God*) - don’Don’t forget to pay it
My friendfriend, didn’Crito, doesn’t forget. forget, & … it worked!works!
Lurking from beyond the grave, I still play a pivotal role in: THE Golden Age of Philosophy
Schools of which’ll run fine forfor: another: another 900 years after i’m physicallybodily gone
Right up until the Dark Ages
(Guesses)
Ans: Socrates
* Anytus - born to money princeling - failed military leader charged with treason - jury briber - political elite - driving force in the case against Socrates
* Asclepius - Greek God of Medicine (son of Apollo) was a mortal who became immortalized as a God. Gifted doctor in real life - could reputedly resurrect the dead … (possible if you knew CPR)
At length Zeus, afraid that Asclepius might render all men immortal, slew him with a thunderbolt
