Oedipa witnesses people referring to and using mailboxes disguised as regular waste bins marked with "W.A.S.T.E." (later suggested to be an acronym for "We Await Silent Tristero's Empire").

It is with deep disappointment that I have come to learn 2024 YR4 will almost certainly hit the Earth.
I suppose now, we're really going to have to deal with Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV, now.
Sigh.

To sum up the latest directives from ENWIV and the HMMC:
DO IT! (Don't Do It). You're fired (not fired, semi-fired) if you do or do not do it. Do it NOW! Wait. Don't Wait. Do the doing with action or face action for not doing with not doing. DO IT! DO IT! (Don't Do it) DO IT!.
Clears things up.

During the Cold War, in Berlin, one of the tactic in maintaining control of different sectors of the city was cutting off the flow of electricity and water across the Eastern and Western Zones.
I wonder if the Mayor of DC and US Congress recalls this sort of thing, too?

The secret is "there are seven horcruxes." The last one is in the Haussmann-Moses-Musk Complex. You have to destroy them all. Otherwise, Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV just keeps coming back.
If anyone asks, I was never here.

A reading from the Book of Rawls:
Political power should be exercised by men experienced in, and educated from childhood to assume, the constitutional traditions of their society, men whose ambitions are moderated by the privileges and amenities of their assured position.

A Discordian is forbidden to believe what is read. This is a damn good thing, since I've become aware of Crown Prince Huckleberry Techbro's visit to Dachau and his vigorous defense of both free speech and total mindlessness in the NYT. I can't see the fnords through Zaphod's Peril Sensitive Glasses.

The Haussmann-Moses-Musk Conglomeration favors the break-first, repair it second approach to complex, adaptive system improvements. This is fitting, given its messiah complex, since it believes he can fix the dead.
It has been seen on the shores of Lake Ingolstadt looking for Nazis to hire.

The policy enacted by Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV became self aware earlier this morning. Looking up at the ENWIV from a desk in the O-Void, apparently in shock and horror of its own existence and the existence of NEWIV, fired the Emperor immediately before firing itself.

You do have to hand it to Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV and his use of the Bavarian Fire Drill to achieve... whatever it is he's looking to achieve, if anything.
To everyone else, are you getting it yet?

With the Democrats considering a total Federal shutdown in response to the Emperor Napoleon-Weishapt IV's Godzilla walk through his own administration, it seems that we've achieved HODGE-PODGE. The aneristic pentagon and eristic golden apple are one, again.

I awoke alarmed this morning to the shrill and persistent screaming of a person who had opened the mind to fully apprehend what is taking place in the nation.
Concerned with urgency to provide aid and comfort to the distressed, I sought the source of this agonizing.
Alas, I realized, it was me.

I'm sorry to be indelicate, but I must point out that the Eye at the top of the Pyramid has been replaced with Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt's inflamed... goodness... well...

Look, I began with the apology. I'm just noting the facts.

Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV fears many things, if not all things: the thing it fears most is the Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.
The search is on to locate anyone with this weapon, but as of yet no one has been found in possession of it. The few who recall having once had it forget where it is.

I note that a fun initiation ritual is to take intended members of a secret society to Washington, DC to seek Democrats. Once the initiates disperse through to the city in search of these mythical leaders of government, the members of the secret society ditch them and speed away home, laughing.

Emperor Napoleon-Weishaupt IV has been assigned the following security nickname: "the Hutt."
To reduce severance and unemployment moneys owed displaced administrative workers, the Haussman-Moses-Musk Conglomeration will feed them to "the Hutt."
Conspiracy explains this better than coincidence.

Federal workers impacted by the Haussmann-Moses-Musk conglomeration's Godzilla walk through the administrative functions of the public affairs are advised to listen for the utterance, "Hail, Eris" during firing notifications. Respond, "Hail, Eris" should this occur. When the pyramid appears, relax.

COVID was developed by the processed food industry as a preservative for the beef slurry used to construct fried chicken sandwiches. Bird flu is the avian response, thinking fast food chicken has chicken in it. They got the idea from the porcine successes of swine flu.
