John's Chicken Farm
John was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens),
called 'pullets', and ten roosters to fertilize them.. He kept records, and any
rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his
roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance,
which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an
efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
John's favorite rooster, Obama, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he
noticed Obama's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw
the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the
pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To John's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without work, he had
his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his
job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County Fair and he
became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Obama the No Bell Piece Prize but
they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly Obama was a politician. Who else but a politician could figure out how
to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best
at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying
attention.
Vote carefully this fall, the bells are not always audible.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually
come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences
of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its
powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and
thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one
fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a
few points and repeat them over and over.”
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”

to 1945
