WHO AM I?
I am the tongue of the Liar and I am the best in the business. Some say our lineage goes back to the snake that lied about the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. If I were to say “that’s a lie!” then you could count on it. God looks to our lineage to deliver and since then we have lied for and against just about everything. Every clan, tribe, country, religion and corporation needs an experienced tongue now and then. Who do you think was in FDR’s mouth and uttered those memorable words, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Great delivery if I do say so myself. How about this one: “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” At the U.N.! Or, “too big to fail”. You see, it’s not the lie, it’s the tongue of the Liar. It’s
how it rolls off the tongue that makes the difference. Everybody knew
Churchill, W and the Fed were lying – there was no doubt. What saved the day
was the tongue that told those MONSTROUS, the IMPOSSIBLE lies. Not every tongue
can rise to the level of the impossible when needed. It’s a gift.
WHY AM I HERE?
It’s a great era to be the tongue
of a liar! A Golden Age. An age of massive lies. Do we doubt Genocide and
Global Warming? Every day I make the rounds of the news “outlets”, like a
mall, right?. Some carry one kind of story. Another set of “outlets” carry the
opposite. My guy surrounds himself with small minds so they can’t deliver the
big messages. That’s MY job - to bring the BIG DEAL. My guy starts an interview
and he smiles and pauses, he’s on the launch pad with one easy softball
question, like he’s actually thinking (as if), and suddenly I’m running down
this narrow mental alley-way between “what is” and “what is not” and he’s
caring nothing for his reputation or the international repercussions. Then I
realize we have to totally change the game – tell the GRAND LIE, a GENERATIONAL
lie! A lie so large and so all encompassing that it takes in the last 50 years
of history about a specific topic and flips it on it’s head. The lie is so
outrageous they don’t respond they just report. Said often enough and with
sincerity, the GRAND LIE is not a negative.
WHAT DO I WANT?
Besides the BIG lies that move
countries and generations, I like the intimate lie. The lovers lie, the
leader’s lie. Sweet lies about glory – your glory. Those earnest looks and
whispered promises. The touching, the hand shake held for a few moments longer
than necessary – to show intention. The shoulder touch. I tell you that he
knows what you want. He’s listened to you. You’re not alone. He’s
here for you, protecting you. The direct one-on-one eye-contact. The
motivating word from his mouth – a great looking mouth. I tell you this will be
dangerous – very dangerous. We won’t let this fail – but it will take YOUR effort.
You’re so close you watch his mouth, watch the words roll off of me and his
determined chin. He’s a person of flesh and blood and I tell you he’s relying
on you – we’re ALL relying on you. He smells good and your nose wouldn’t lie
about a thing like that. His heart beats good and pure – like your heart. You
believe him. You will do as he asks – even though it is very, VERY dangerous
“...and you may lose your life. But the cause is worth it.” says the tongue of
the Liar quoting my ancestor, the snake.
