Real Patriots Prefer Cash
Over Medals.

The art of political survival can often resemble a masterclass in moral gymnastics — and with the right tactics, one can dance through the bloodsbath without ever breaking a sweat.
Welcome to the darkly delightful world where accountability gets drowned in the murky waters of outsourced operations.
Behind every necessary evil lies an ostensible innocent, and the currency of this realm is crafted less from conviction and more from cash.
Outsourcing dirty work to contractors isn’t just a tactical move; it’s the crown jewel of political evasion.
Imagine, if you will, a high-ranking official proudly waving their hands, stating, “It wasn’t me!” while their hired henchmen lay the foundation of chaos in their wake.
This is the real playbook of power — one that operates not out of a sense of duty but out of a profound betrayal of civic trust.
Contractors, with their cozy contracts and alluring anonymity, become the ideal puppets.
They bash the gavel of violence and intimidation while politicians sit back, watching their glorious game unfold from a comfortable distance, clutching onto their plausible deniability like a life vest in a sea of political turbulence.
Let’s pull the curtain back: what does it take to recruit these mercenary figures who thrive in the shadows?
It’s simple.
Their procurement often looks like the clearance rack at a grimy international arms bazaar, featuring the finest talent in “strategic eliminations” and “peacekeeping.” The phrase “freelancers gone wild” isn’t just snark; it’s the rephrasing of mischief-filled contracts that incentivize mayhem while allowing elected officials to maintain their squeaky-clean façades.
When the knives come out — and they always do — the instinct for self-preservation is a powerful motivator.
“They were rogue! Off-script!” becomes the political mantra, a hollow excuse crafted in the fires of betrayal.
The drama intensifies with a masterful narrative pivot, ensuring that all the bodies—both literal and metaphorical—are merely statistics in the ledger of “strategic outcomes.” Remember, the media loves a narrative, and the desperation for 'greater good' can inspire the most imaginative of justifications.
“It wasn’t a death roll; it was a glorious dance of democracy!” Achieve this elusive mix of moral outcry and rebranded righteousness, and you’ll not only divert attention but potentially inspire a cult following among those unflinching in their patriotic delusion.
And what’s the reward for such bravado?
Cold, hard cash, a currency that speaks truths far beyond that of medals and accolades.
“Keep your medals!” the gleeful puppeteers crow, “Cash is the language of patriots!” How nauseatingly poetic — the love of one’s country exchanged for bills like a drug deal in the back alleys of corruption.
Money funds the charade, masquerading as a silent partner in clandestine operations, while citizens flail in the wake of their misplaced trust, chanting hollow praises for a system rigged to pacify and manipulate.
So how do you, the unsuspecting voter, prepare yourself for this transparent trickery?
The play is deceptively simple, yet impactful: Stay skeptical.
Demand clarity and accountability.
Politicians are experts at smoke and mirrors; recognize them when they flourish these deceptive theatrics, and you’ll see through the staged illusions of integrity.
Together, let’s send a warning shot across the bow of complacency: If you don’t start scrutinizing who pulls the strings in this theater of exploitation, expect to find yourself applauding the very puppeteers who orchestrate your subjugation.
Remember, it’s not just the contractors who need scrutiny; it’s the politicians who hire them — and with them, the dangerous dance of democracy will continue, drowning excellence in mediocrity and dedication in despotism.
Learn to see this treachery for what it truly is, so that when they try to sell you their washed-up white-knight narratives, you can recognize the foul stench of indiscriminate exploitation lurking beneath the surface.
