Silencing The Wolves

I've been told there has been some media attention concerning this blog recently. It seems some “people” feel that a criminal like me should not be allowed to voice their views publically in such an unfiltered format.

I couldn't express the depth of such ignorance even if I tried. So, I won't. And, instead I'll simply comment on the reason why this kind of small-mindedness even exists.

These “people”, who would so gladly have the truth silenced just because it comes from the mouth of a “monster”, can't think for themselves. They depend on modern media to tell them what they currently accepted “trending” thoughts are for the day. So, the mere thought that their precious medium could be contaminated with “unpopular” ideas, is terrifying to them.

Of course, it's not just the modern media junkies who fear such exposure to “unpopular” ideas. This is the standard reaction that the “sheep” (herd animals) have anytime they sense that the herd-mentality might ot be as “safe” as they thought. It is the age old source of all censorship; “baaa baaa baaa!” the sheep cry!

“Silence the wolf!”

But, silencing the wolf does nothing to remove the threat. In fact, it is the silent wolf that the sheep should fear, for she is the one on the hunt.

And what about that comforting voice that guides the sheep to pasture; the voice that tells them where to graze, when to sleep, and how to mate; the voice that comes from atop of the hill, speaking in a language that the sheep will never comprehend beyond the short “soundbite” commands that tell the herd what to think? What about this voice that leads them, protects them, and assures them all is well? Isn't that the voice they should really fear? The one that feeds not on one or two weaklings or strays, but ultimately devours the entire flock! It is the voice of the most deceptive, dangerous, destructive, and ravenous creature that ever lived. It is the voice of the shepherd; a calm human voice that turns the younglings into lamb chops. It is the voice of the devil himself, and the greatest predator of all.

So, “Woof woof woof!”

I will not be silent, as long as I can speak, as long as I can warn, as long as I can remind the “sheep” that I am here, and that my kind will always be here, warranted by nature herself, to restore balance, and health to the herd, by exposing the truth, and ripping open the belly of those who deceive, and the minds of those who would be deceived. I remind the shepherds of this world, that no predator can tame the wilderness for long. And, as long as there is a wilderness, there will be wolves, silenced or not.
