This Sunday, I had the honor of performing with the Briton Singers at the 15 year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. The proceedings were moving and serene. Unfortunately, there were some unwanted visitors there as well, who put a bit of a damper on things. They moved through the crowd of mourners with no thoughts in their minds but to annoy and steal. They tried to interrupt our performance as we sang, and they displayed a blatant disregard for the ceremony.
These undesirables have been a thorn in the side of civilized society for far too long. They have no respect for our way of life, our traditions, our values, our culture. They are parasites, living off what others create, sowing nothing but disease and discomfort. Their presence at Sunday’s memorial service for the nearly 3,000 Americans who died at the hands of an ideology diametrically opposed to our way of life, was yet another example of their flagrant disrespect for anything even remotely resembling good virtue.
This is not even to mention the other recent news stories involving these petulant vermin. Diseases of all kinds are being brought across our borders, endangering our children with permanent deformities and causing nearly a million preventable deaths each year. Even compared to the great wars of the 20th century, these vermin are an enormous, lethal problem worthy of total annihilation. On a historic scale, the blood on their hands (err proboscises?) is greater than every instance of human-on-human violence ever, combined.
Mosquitoes.
Yes, mosquitoes are the true enemy of mankind. More so than every maligned culture and group of people ever called inhuman by one leader seeking to galvanize his people in righteous anger, here we have a species of monsters and parasites that have caused the deaths of untold billions while providing nothing of value to the ecosystems they inhabit. For most of human history, our war with the mosquitoes was limited to what little retaliation we could offer in the form of such crude methods as physically squishing their filthy corpses, and more recently, denying them their cesspools and breeding grounds. But these methods do nothing but slow and deter our ancient enemy. If we wish to truly triumph over these parasites, we must engage in a war. A full and total war of intentional extermination. We must see these creatures for the deplorable nuisances that they truly are, and offer them in return and revenge, the full might of humanity, united under a singular purpose, our hatred and anger turned towards a useful end: The destruction of the creatures that take our very blood from us.
A war of this scale requires three things.
1) Modern weapons and tactics to crush our enemies.
Advances like bioengineered warfare that can decimate mosquito populations by rendering them sterile or kill them outright, and laser grid systems that identify and destroy our hated enemy while leaving other insects untouched.
2) The patriotic support of the public in this glorious endeavour.
We must put aside our petty differences in recognition of this looming threat. Imagine if some nation was brutally slaughtering a million humans a year, killing 2000 children a day, causing illness in nearly a quarter billion individuals, and threatening nearly half the world's population. We would hold that entity in more contempt and righteous hatred than even the Third Reich. And yet most people see mosquitoes as a mild annoyance, rather than the deadly danger deserving of our rage that they truly are.
3) Funding and resources to seek and destroy.
Many of these new advances drastically reduce the logistical requirements for making substantial progress in the extermination of mosquitoes, but the support and funding of the public or private realms must be present for the greatest effect to be possible.
You must see now that this mutual enemy of ours must be stopped, for the sake of our fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and every one of the billions of people killed by these monsters over the history of our species. It is time to strike back, and show what it means to raise the ire of Homo sapiens!
