As this letter will make clear, following Debbi V's words left to right and down a page is like following fingernails on a chalkboard. Let me try to explain what I mean by that in a single sentence: Debbi V has stated that he has a duty to conceal the facts and lie to the rest of us, under oath if necessary, perjuring himself to help disseminate the True Faith of snobbism. One clear inference from that statement -- an inference that is never really disavowed -- is that he holds a universal license that allows him to show a clear lack of respect not just for those brave souls who fought and died for what they believed in, but also for you, the readers of this letter. Now that's just twisted. So who's crazy? I, or all the insincere spoiled brats who insist that the kids on the playground are happy to surrender to the school bully? Before you answer, let me point out that he might make bigotry respectable one day. What are we to do then? Place blinders over our eyes and hope we don't see the horrible outcome?
It doesn't do us much good to become angry and wave our arms and shout about the evils of Debbi V's obiter dicta in general terms. If we want other people to agree with us and join forces with us, then we must embark on a new path towards change. I heard through the grapevine that Debbi V's intimations need to be reassessed with Debbi V's ulterior motives in mind. Whether or not this rumor is true, his latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining, but certainly not informative.
I indubitably hate having to keep reminding everybody of this, but Debbi V's particular brand of despotism will inspire a recrudescence of muddleheaded fatuity in a lustrum or two. That's self-evident, and even Debbi V would probably agree with me on that. Even so, his taradiddles disgust and infuriate me. But there is a further-reaching implication: Debbi V thinks we want him to suppress controversy and debate. Excuse me, but maybe the facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that the ideas of "freedom" and "narcissism" are Siamese twins. It goes without saying that Debbi V demands obeisance from his peons. Then, once they prove their loyalty, Debbi V forces them to work hand-in-glove with what I call patronizing mattoids. If he were as bright as he thinks he is, he'd know that I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: He maintains that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is. Perhaps it would be best for him to awaken from his delusional narcoleptic fantasyland and observe that it is immature and stupid of him to sell quack pharmaceutical supplies (and you should be suspicious whenever you hear such tell-tale words and phrases as "breakthrough", "miracle", "secret remedy", "exclusive", and "clinical studies prove that..."). It would be mature and intelligent, however, to listen to others, and that's why I say that I stand by what I've written before, that his position that you and I are inferior to the most oppressive spielers you'll ever see is based upon a specious argument without any substantive basis. But you knew that already. So let me add that one of the things I find quite interesting is listening to other people's takes on things. For instance, I recently overheard some folks remark that he claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to impede the free flow of information. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by Debbi V's representatives. The truth is that Debbi V's pigheaded undertakings leave the current power structure untouched while simultaneously killing countless children through starvation and disease. Are these children his enemies? Well, while you're deliberating over that, let me ask you another question: When he looks in the mirror in the morning, does Debbi V see more than the same, conceited face that all snotty, hectoring incubi share? Now, not to bombard you with too many questions, but I recently overheard a couple of horny utopians say that without Debbi V's superior guidance, we will go nowhere. Here, again, we encounter the blurred thinking that is characteristic of this Debbi V-induced era of slogans and propaganda. You know what? If you ever ask Debbi V to do something, you can bet that your request will get lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored, and rebuffed.
One indication of this is the fact that he dreams of a time when he'll be free to delude and often rob those rendered vulnerable and susceptible to his snares because of poverty, illness, or ignorance. That's the way he's planned it, and that's the way it'll happen -- not may happen, but will happen -- if we don't interfere, if we don't provide information and inspiration to as many people as possible. Certain facts are clear. For instance, if my memory serves me correctly, Debbi V is doing everything in his power to make me get fired from my job. The only reason I haven't yet is that I believe in the four P's: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance.
Currently, Debbi V lacks the clout to make empty promises. But any day now, he will have enough followers to denigrate and discard all of Western culture. He says he's going to cripple his enemies politically, economically, socially, morally, and psychologically in a matter of days. Is he out of his amoral mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that I know some dim-witted simpletons who claim they once overheard him say, "I want to convert lush forests into arid deserts in the blink of an eye". For proof of this fact, I must point out that he joins the most sordid avarice and the most detestable superstition to the most invincible hatred of all people. It's that simple. And that's it. Pragmatic adherence to concision necessitates that I delete a plethora of thoroughly unflattering adjectives regarding Debbi V's arguments.
