 The terrorists are already in power. Nobody knows how they got there. They look like elected officials.
They overthrow elected democracies and replace them with tyrannies. They arm and support tyrannies when it serves their interests. Their hypocrisy has no limits.
They use lies and deceit to draw their armies to the other side of the world. They make killing a virtue. They beg for the apocalypse. They post ten commandments and break them one by one. They have oil in their hearts and blood on their hands. They sow the seeds of retaliation.
They eaves drop and spy, seize without need, search without warrant, arrest without cause, hold without charges, try without jury. They torture, humiliate and abuse their prisoners.
While televisions gush with glitz and idiocy, they throw journalists in jail. They make a journalist a whore. They make a whore a journalist. They let him into their inner circle. He asks stupid questions, and gets stupid answers, and then reports it as news.
In the name of the people they peddle fear and suspicion. Stock markets soar, and their corporate friends get richer. They rule. They corrupt. They sell favours. They puff themselves up on TV but fling so much mud that nobody can see what's happening. They replace political debate with spin and sound bites. Nobody gets to ask the real questions. They give their electors a choice between Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb and call the outcome democracy. They fool enough of the people enough of the time.
