The Dishonourable Nobleman
Thomas strode into the most expensive and luxurious restaurant in Berlin. The most powerful people in Europe including the Irish Prime Minister were meeting, drinking the most expensive wine available at the tax payers expense. Thomas declared "All your personal and national social media, your emails, phonecalls have all been monitored including what you consider to be your secure lines of communication. You have all been recorded through hidden cameras and I have every detail of your out of shape bodies stored on video footage including the sexy young men and women you`ve all had sex with. In fact, I already know everything about each one of you. If you do not do as I say the videos will be posted online and I will make a large sum of money from online viewers who will see your every move. Your communications have been monitored from a whole variety of sources including medical information from your doctors, any interactions you have had with law enforcement national and personal to mention but a few. Listen up men, I know everything about each one of you and so does the organisation which I represent though I will not disclose any information about said organisation to you. I have no doubt you know who I am talking about but you don`t know who really controls them, I do. The ball is in my court, just do as I say or else!!!!" The powerful men all stared at each other, now realising that their own fates were being decided, not just the fates of those who they considered to be the stupid and ignorant public.
The Irish leader was the first to speak, he seemed to know Thomas particularly well as they smiled convivially toward each other "In Ireland we have been busy doing your bidding, spying on our people on social media and even in their own homes through hidden cameras. You didn`t inform me the same was happening to me!!!" Thomas glared at the Irish leader while smiling "Time for you to take some of your own medicine, although the medicine nowadays is poison really, just like drugs I like to push through the countries of Europe and in particular in Ireland. There's nothing like a confused population which is easy to control with poison both legal and illegally!!! I am planning a civil war in Ireland, just so I can feel all powerful. I even have my own army, actual decent people most of them who believe they are fighting for a united Ireland. Oh what fun I will have!!! I`ll win too and become leader of Ireland."
The President of the European Union replied "Thomas, these are terrible crimes!!!" Thomas replied "No worse than politicians who are obsessed with their own power. Like I said, time to take your own medicine!!!" The president replied "You are a noble man, or so you say, though honor does not appear be part of your personality. I have met nobility far more honorable than you. People who wish to make a difference in the world, not what you are doing with your callous acts which surpasses even us politicians sitting at this table. What do you think you`re doing man?" Thomas replied "Oh it`s not a case of what I think I am doing, I know what I am doing which is a very good job of controlling you lot. My nobility is that of soldier blood, not royalty or those connected to royalty through the ages. No, I am from soldier blood, not a bishop`s blood, I enjoy dominating, discriminating and even drug pushing. Whatever I need to do to divide, conquer and control, that`s what`s in my blood!!!". The president spoke with astonishment " You told me you were related to some bishop in England centuries ago!!!" Thomas smiled "And you believed me!!! You are the fool, despite you being the manipulator that you are you chose to believe me!!! Take responsibility for your choices and actions!!!"
Thomas laughed hysterically "Oh you fool!!! You are all fools!!! Do as you`re told all of you or I`ll have you all over the papers, television and social media!!!" The presidents of the represented countries gasped in shock and the German president stood up declaring indignantly "Thomas, you can`t drug whole populations in order to satisfy your own needs. Thomas, don`t do this!!!" Thomas replied "It`s too late, I already have, now do as I say or I`ll show the world how you yourselves are criminals!!!" Each politician around the table agreed to bow to Thomas`s will.
Thomas was correct, most politicians were just as criminal as Thomas and those who were not did not succeed.
