Marching Orders


I send this brief note out to the masses engaged in the "Great Deception" above. As your advocate here below it is my duty to inform you of your inadequate attempts above. For a great many decades now we have been successful in influencing our foe that they are "mere mortals", incapable of fathoming a deep understanding of one of the core elements of their creators nature, immortality. This shrewed and clever jest has so triumphantly suplanted the truth it has gone almost unnoticed as a threat. However, urgent attention is needed in shoring up this area of attack as more an more patients are reading the very words of God, shaking this former landslide offensive into a modern day Maginot Line. These pesky patients are coming to understand that they too are immortal and can influence their final destination. We simply must stop this trend from continuing. Pull out all the stops! Get them busy with other notions or confuse them with political manuverings. Your very best work may be required to turn this messy business around.
Your most excellent,
Screwtape

"Change" - The New Battle Cry


To the minions at play in the streets and back alleys of America: Good tidings from the smokey shores of the River Styx. The recent political power shift among our prey is creating wonderful opportunities for all of us. It is like shooting fish in a bucket! You hardly need say a word to these easily manipulated souls or lift a wretched finger to send them into a wild frenzy of excitement.
What a wonderful thing Change is. Even if vague or ill defined, it is embraced by these simpletons as (dare I say it)...a godsend. Keep it up! Do not let them stop to think! Just like their manifold rush to embrace new technologies without stopping to count the cost, keep them wrapped up and onboard this bandwagon called CHANGE. Worry not that the horse is blind...just load the wagon!
I have found that these creatures taste the same whether sulking in deep depression or spinning in wild ecstasy. This new "leader" of theirs is opening up our prospects and ushering in a new age of devilish opportunity
