Symphony of Destruction

“Damage report,” Melinda stated as she saw the sole survivor, a crafty seeker, return.

“Plenty of refugees in Saidra’s Haven perished. We also managed to kill a few of those pesky guards among others. A shame about the casualties on our end, but we definitely reciprocated in turn.”

“Good. Rest up. No doubt he will be planning something soon.”

As the seeker vanished, Melinda smiled from within the fortress walls. Once again, she had turned a valued resource of Kryta against her. Once again, her calling card worked well. Once again, she had wrought destruction on those who could not defend themselves.

And in due time, the final target would truly learn fear, chaos, misery, and ultimately, their demise.

Caution 5: Disaster Is a Test of Character

“Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that all authoritarians at all times either await or plan such events in order to consolidate power. Think of the Reichstag fire. The sudden disaster that requires the end of the balance of power, the end of opposition parties, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Don’t fall for it.” -Professor Timothy Snyder, Historian, Holocaust/Third Reich expert

Disaster is a test of character. Civic virtue asks that citizens of the Republic stand ready to pass that test, when and if their leaders fail it.

Few excuses for tyranny are as useful as rioting. As we head into a new and fearful day, let's all take a moment to recall the conservative activists just caught "pretending” to insert violence into inauguration day protests. “Pretending” to offer money to protestors to break the law and get violent.

*Agents provocateurs* have a long history in American politics, as well as more recent attempts to infiltrate the Occupy Wall Street and (reportedly) the DAPL protests to incite violence.

To those beginning the first great protests of this ugly time, good luck, and stay safe. Keep an eye out for provocateurs and be prepared to de-escalate.

Our new leaders have failed us, and will again. This next test of character is up to us.
