Puppet Master 2 The Destruction of La Raza
The Puppet Master smiled as he
gloated over how well his plan
was working. “I now have my
brown skinned victims working
hard on my behalf.
With their disdain for knowledge
and learning they are making this
almost too easy! So, pour on the
drugs, alcohol, sex, partying, and
violence. Let them become so
drunk on their egos, that they
will not notice their own
coming self-destruction.”
The Puppet Master sneered as
he let out a wicked laugh. “Look,
even with all the danger posed
by a worldwide pandemic, they
still flock like moths, into the
flames of chaos and death.”
Near the Puppet Masters throne
was a fountain from which poured
the tears of the mothers of La Raza,
and beside it a river which flowed
with the blood of those killed by
senseless violence.
“My mighty river now flows with
their blood and it will continue
for as long as they keep listening to
me. It is because, I can manipulate
their young minds so easily that I
can guide their thoughts and actions
away from achieving success, and
happiness."
The Puppet Master, then stretched
out his hand. “See for yourself, how
they love everything I offer. As
long as this continues, everything
will remain the same, for La Raza."
The Puppet Master then grew silent,
as he contemplated what if the
young people of La Raza would
only embrace knowledge and
learning, then he would lose all
power and control over them.
Then he said angrily, “Let them be
blind that they may not see, that
they may be hard of hearing towards
those who promote learning, that they,
may not seek knowledge, lest they
escape my clutches and succeed and
prosper beyond their wildest dreams!”
Knowledge, learning, and education
are like powerful lamps which shine
brightly to illuminate the darkness in
the world. He or she who chooses to
walk without them in life will often
stumble and fall. These three possess
the power to destroy all self-imposed
ignorance which is the favorite
destructive
weapon of the evil one,
known as - The Puppet Master!
