by Smitty (INTRODUCTION)
A man of completely undecidable race entered, dressed in a high-collared, dark robe, and moved to the head of the room, and began to speak.
Looking around the table, the fear of passing out appeared to be losing to the fear of continuing to take in the meeting in at least a couple of cases. At least two people were engaged in prayer, offering silent entreaty, or else they were mad.
The meeting had gone on for such an uncomfortable length of time that bodily functions, which these power brokers were so rarely in a position to have even bother them slightly, were becoming paramount.
And yet the presentation continued, noting the expendability of henchmen. The audience was not used to thinking of itself as henchmen. At the back of the table, a Japanese man started to speak.
“Fear is not a sign of strength. Fear, at the head of state level, is manifest in large bodyguard contingents. We underscore our strength by having our henchmen travel with thin retinues.
Granted, this increases the replacement rate, but of human fools there is never shortage.
Our minion
…will always among the people be surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in others.
The appearance of accessibility must ever be maintained. You will know, when you hear reports of a town hall meeting or press conference with planted questions, which specific projects are poorly managed and likely to see a staffing change very soon.
Remember that any not aligned with us are to be cast as failures. Some of our lesser tools have published rule books for agitators and the like. Certain wiser members of the un-enslaved are begging to understand those writings, so beware.
