The Deceivers

Hiding In Plain Sight

It’s midnight, a full moon shining in the velvety blackness of a starless sky. Six private jets arrive carrying 195 delegates, each from their designated country. The jets land on the private runway of the island. 194 Figures shrouded in black, one in red, from head to toe, emerge from the jets, silent, they move as one person. Their energy is power, arrogance and fear.

Like a flock of bats they move toward the towering mansion illuminated by the moonlight, it’s a sight never seen by the rest of the world, yet has been happening for centuries. The shrouded figures slither through the black marble doors and enter into an enormous room to the left of the entryway.

This room though spacious is simply adorned, blood-red velvet curtains line the whole room blocking out the outside world. A black marble table sits in the middle of the room surrounded by 195 chairs, the chair at the head of the table is red velvet, the remaining chairs are black velvet, there is nothing else in the room.

Haco stands at the head of the table proud, moody, arrogant, and cruel. He barks a command! “Time for the meeting to begin.” “This meeting will be short because we have to get back to business, we don’t have much time left to enslave as many as we can.

As you know since the day we came to this planet we have had to take our time to slowly mold and corrupt them into our image, now we have to speed things up a bit.”

“While we are mostly doing things the way we have for centuries, I have a few key areas that I want to address.” “First, Marcellus, “yes, master.” You have been ruling over your country thousands of years, you must intensify the war, they need to cower in fear.”

“ Abaddon get more of those school shootings going after we let it cool down for a while, this will create more fear.”

Aridam, “make …your country have fewer jobs and more homeless.” Calvin , “Keep, creating movies and TV. shows that are full of violence… “This causes some to act out these violent scenes, many have come to believe that violence is natural.”

Alastor, “ increase the ability to get drugs, the more we hook, the easier it is to manipulate them for our use.”

And finally, “ Blazer get the prices of food, clothing and shelter so high in your country that it creates a domino effect in all the other countries in your circuit.”

As for the rest of you, keep doing what you are doing. I don’t have time to make any more demands. Until our next meeting, keep up the bad work.”
