Did you know the US government worked on creating flying elephants? We didn’t believe it, either, until we learned about MK-Ultra, which we thought was an absolute fringe weirdo conspiracy theory until it turned out the government really was working on mind control, psionics, psychics, and brainwashing.
(Although false memories, to name one, really ARE easy to implant. One doesn’t even need hypnosis—just a receptive audient.
It is NOT true that, as in the movie ‘They Live’, every advertisement contains subliminal or invisible instructions to buy more, confirm, and obey.
I’d tell you what instructions they REALLY contain, but a percentage of our readers are likely to consider it interesting enough to make some experiments of their own. For example, if we let the Goblins know how to do it, you’d find the majority of the younger public skipping everywhere they go and sometimes shouting, “Boy, I’m tired!”
So I find the idea of flying elephants not unbelievable, unfortunately. And I’d have to assume they were meant for war—sorry, I mean, “defense”. MK-Ultra had a lot of options for population control, but it did focus fairly heavily on weapons. I do not think the Government would attempt to create flying elephants so that they could be given to childrens’ zoos.
Ergo, we rather need to worry what the intention WAS.
Were they to drop bombs on the enemy?
They’d hardly be an innocuous way to have Seal Team 6 infiltrate, say, China.
My only possible guess is that, having realized that warfare has now become expensive and unpopular, they’re going back to the ancient Middle East, where armored Elephants were some of the most terrifying things on any battlefield. So I picture it: a massive elephant, with even more giant wings than you’d expect, simply COVERED in bronze armor, ridden by soldier with lances, swords, and maybe a bow and arrow. Instead of big, unpopular wars, we’d have exciting aerial dogfights, like the ones described in ancient Indian texts.
This is all speculation of course. (US Government, if you’re watching and I’m accidentally right—remember, I’m presenting this as fiction. Nobody would believe it’s true. I’m practically doing you a favor here.)
But I LIKE this speculation.
So every time I see an elephant in a zoo, I wonder, “Are you happy here? Or would you like someone to set you free, not only of this pen, but of the ground itself. You might get killed, but it sure will be exciting.”
I feel bad for those elephants. In my defense I’ve only stolen the one.
Has anyone got a 40’ hang glider they’re not using?
