Borism

Borism - The transformation of elective parliamentary democracy to ruthless dictatorship in 5 stages:

1. The community taking over all the arms of government is always numerically tiny.
2. The creation of a nationwide campaign of fear or terror.
3. When people are badly frightened, they are extremely gullible. They will believe whatever they are told. Figures are cooked, statistics cobbled, research stultified, to endorse the death-is-everywhere message.
4. The assurance from the tiny group that they and only they can save us from a horrible fate, but only if we all abide by and obey a tidal wave of rules and regulations - no matter if these destroy the nation we once knew and loved. Fear, deliberately inspired fear, rules supreme.

There will always be dissenters, who must be dealt with.

5. Creation of a sort of secret police to spy, pounce and punish.
Broism, not Borism!”

CIA-DPA

The Central Intelligence Agency - Dick Pic Archive

Many electronic devices have integrated camera and video equipment. Once people become aware of the potential of remote-control access, they use black tape to cover the apertures. For those who do not or, at any time, did not take such precautions and were consulting adult only content while pleasuring themselves may be unaware that they may have records stored on the CIA-DPA.

The CIA-DPA has proven useful.
CIA headquarters, Langley

Agent Orange: “We have a problem.”
Agent Smith: “What’s up?”
Agent Orange: “They won’t accept our chlorinated chicken.”
Agent Smith: “We might have to go quite deep in this case. I'll bring up the files we have on John, Tony, Gordon, David, Terry, Boris and er….while I'm at it, Jeremy as well, just in case.”
Agent Orange: “That looks like a lot of data to me.”

Chuckling and fits of laughter are heard coming from the CIA-DPA office.

Agent Orange: “Oh my!!! What was he watching?”
Agent Smith: “BBC II.”
Agent Orange: “David Attenburgh?”
Agent Smith: “Not exactly!”
