Osama: Yes, Ayman. I see now that you understand.
Ayman [again bowing deeply]: My Humble Servant! I, I...
Osama: There, there, Ayman. Yes, it is unfathomable. I myself have not yet fully absorbed it...
It was Lord Prince, the Emir of the Group they call Citi, who best explained the totality of the money-changers' folly. "As long as the music is playing," quoth his Opulence the Lord Prince, "you've got to get up and dance."
"Get up and dance," Ayman!
[ Ayman jumps up and begins dancing as if to a disco beat. ]
Osama: Be seated, my friend! And so in the fullness of time the Carlyle wadiah exploded as I had intended, and it was the explosion heard 'round the world! Nearby Swaps began exploding immediately among the Canyons of Glass and Steel. First it was the House of the Bear and the Stearns; next it was the upstart IndyMac. Then followed in short order the Twin Towers of Fannie and Freddie and the venerable House of Lehman, which collapsed to the ground in a thunderous ball of flame, followed in turn by the Leviathan AIG and the great and powerful wahdias of Wachovia and WaMu...
And [winks] who knows what fabled House of Usury might fall next into the flames?
Ayman: Do -- do you know who comes next, my Humble Servant?
Osama: I do not. But I know who comes last.
Ayman: And you are now going to tell me?
Osama: Of course. You see, Ayman, we too committed a blunder. Yes! Even your Humble Servant! Or rather, we misplaced our priorities -- we dallied too long plotting the fall of the Twin Towers. It was a triumph to be sure, one to be savored and celebrated. But it was a mere appetizer! Guess, my friend, what lesson lurks amid these new events? No, don't guess, I'll tell you: We brought down the wrong Twin Towers!
Ayman: So it was Fannie and Freddie we should have destroyed?
Osama: No, my friend. Hear me now and listen to me later! It is the Twin Towers of Morgan and Mellon that must fall. And the clock of Doom is ticking as we speak, Ayman. The fuse is lit, the Swaps are smoldering, the firefighters are in the stairwells. And when the Twin Towers of Morgan and Mellon fall, the Great Satan's reign shall fall with them, because they are the central pillars of his far-flung Petrodollar money-changing empire. And fall they shall!
And then the Caliphate shall rise again, and shall rule for a thousand years. Praise be to Allah! Next Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
