The Other McCain

by Smitty (INTRODUCTION)

His own chair was a torture device made of small yellow-white objects…teeth. The chair fought with the air to steal the most heat from his body.

The speaker seemed to pay no heed to the functionary until his regular path brought him in arm’s reach of the hooded one. “Your failure to maintain this place has marred the perfection of my presentation. At the next failure, your assistant will bring me your head on a charger. Go.”
Wordlessly, the functionary did an about face and departed the room. The speaker continued, having moved from the topic of debasing human religions in preparation for their replacement to discussing the nature of using organizations to eradicate each other and further the goals of CTHULHU.
Later, a second light bulb failed.

“Murder is a straightforward thing, often requiring little that is remarkable or memorable beyond a victim.
The artist, however, seeking the full experience, would know the victim, encourage the victim in the direction of suicide, and assume front rank at the funural.
Victims can be enjoined to manage the demise of other victims before handling their own case, of course; economy of style is a hallmark of art.
Thus, given the vast quilt of existing organizations under the sun that predate our current effort, the most artistic thing to do would be to use them against each other.
We are certain in the singularity of our purpose, with the final merger of the Human Union and the Committee To Harmonize Universal Law.
So we will find their victim-leaders, and subvert them.

You cannnot imagine to what extent the wisest of the [proletariat] can be brought to a state of unconscious naïveté in the presence of this condition of high conceit of themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to take the heart out of them by the slightest ill-success, though it be nothing morer than the stoppage of the applause thtey had, and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the sake of winning a renewal of success.

The world’s biggest ideoloigcal loser is our winner, and there is none greater than…”

by Smitty (INTRODUCTION)

Across the table, the African leader was shown to a chair covered in some leather. He briefly saw the seat, a remarkably human-looking face stretched into an expression of shock and terror, before the African was seated, blocking the view. The arm rests were covered in arms, ending in all-too-realistic hands.

The speaker looked at the light, then touched below the front corner of the table when his movement took him there next. Had he deviated even slightly from his pattern to move there? The level of control of the meeting was astounding. The fact that a light bulb in the overhead had gone out seemed a phenomenal slip.
Why this seemingly minor loss of control should seem so significant can only be attributed to the madness being brought on by this endless meeting, stuck in a room with eleven remaining living victims, wondering how this possibly would end.
The squid in the fishbowl seemed to move its mantle in a tiny circular motion.
The door opened, and another functionary entered, as the speaker droned on about the topic of religion.

“Religion, for whatever reason, is among the oldest, most widespread, and ultimately challenging obstacles we face.
We do relish the challenge, however. Broadly, Oriental thought is significantly easier to work with. As long as the subject thinks the action is a karmic win, anything goes. Asian cultures, perhaps as a function of population density, seem to understand the need to succumb to our will more readily than others.
Occidental thought, not so much. These faiths that focus on indivduality and lack the refreshment of reincarnation seem to make people less mallable.
We have made much progress in modern times with high-yield explosives and through the use of literature that attacks the basic human instinct for self preservation.
Broadly, attacks on culture have been immensely successful.

In countries know as progressive and enlightened we have created a senseless, filthy, abominable literature.

That societal decay function, combined with our academic attacks, especially the social sciences, has been an effective wrecking ball for the Occidental spirit.”
