A Very Stinky Story (Or "Operation Epstein Slurry")

Not to be confused with "Operation Epic Fury" or any illegal and immoral military action taken by the US and Israel in West Asia. A fairy tale adults and children alike can learn something from.

A Very Stinky Story (or “Operation Epstein Slurry”)

by C. A. Matthews

Once upon a time there was a big, big boat sailing across the wide, wide open seas. This big boat had a very special task. It was sailing halfway around the world to fight a war for “freedom and democracy” and, of course, to control others’ oil production in order to maintain a stable petrodollar as the world’s reserve currency.

It didn’t make a difference that the big, big boat—affectionately known as “Jerry” to its friends—really needed to go home and have some repairs done first. It didn’t matter that its young crew (average age only 19 years old) had been gone from their homes and families for almost a year. It didn’t matter that they needed some down time to recuperate between missions. Oh, no, no, no! A big Orange Man called “the president” told Jerry to sail halfway around the world and do as it was told. Now.

The true reason Jerry and its crew couldn’t rest and be with their families was because Orange Man was afraid of the Boss Man, the real ruler of the Orange Man’s country. Not everyone in the Orange Man’s country realized this, but Orange Man always did as he was told by the Boss Man. Boss Man threatened Orange Man that he had a great big briefcase full of naughty pictures and not-so-nice stories about Orange Man’s favorite activity of hurting little girls in very mean and very ugly ways. So, Orange Man always did as he was told to by Boss Man. It was safer that way.

Boss Man told Orange Man that he wanted Jerry—and his fellow big boat friend Abe—to sail to the ancient Land of Flying Carpets to fight a war for “freedom and democracy” right away. Boss Man was tired of this particular war being put off again and again. Boss Man reasoned that if his his tiny pretend country wasn’t at war all the time his own people might send him to jail because of some not-so-nice things he had done in office.

So Orange Man agreed and told Jerry and its crew to get going. It was time to do some killin’! (Killing is one of the bosses’ favorite activities.)

It didn’t matter that Boss Man had his own soldiers and sailors. He wanted Orange Man’s troops to do some of the dirty killing work this time. After all, Boss Man’s soldiers were spread rather thinly because they had been busy killing the Native People for almost 2 ½ years straight. Boss Man and his people like to pretend the land they had stolen from the Native People is where they’re originally from instead of Europe or North America where they’re actually from.

Boss Man’s people liked to tell themselves all kinds of silly stories about the land and homes they had stolen from the Native People over many, many years. They said things like the land was given to them thousands of years ago by a Magical Being who created the Earth and all the people, plants and animals. They then told themselves stories that only they could own and use everything that the Magical Being had created, no matter how mean and selfish that was.

I know, it doesn’t make any sense, but those are the kinds of silly stories the Boss Man and his people liked to tell themselves. They forced others to repeat their silly stories and threatened some of them with the great big briefcase full of naughty stories, but more often with lawsuits claiming everyone was being mean to them for not letting them steal the land of—and kill even more of—the Native People.

Anyway, Jerry the big, big boat and its crew set sail toward the Land of the Flying Carpets as they were told. But Jerry felt oh-so-tired, so very tired! Recently Jerry and its crew had visited a country on the Tropical Sea. There Jerry’s crew had helped with the kidnapping of a Far South Country’s boss man from his people. Some of Jerry’s friends even killed the soldiers who guarded the kidnapped boss. So sad!

Then Jerry’s crew had to help with the stealing of the Far South Country’s oil and give it to the Boss Man’s country instead of to a nearby Tropical Sea Island Country that had traded with the Far South Country and needed the oil desperately to keep their electricity plants running. The Island people were really hurting because Jerry’s country kept all the other big boats with food and medicines in them away from their island.

How mean!

The saddest thing was that the Island Country had lots of wonderful doctors of their own who often traveled the world and helped other people when they needed medical help. Their scientists had even invented a vaccine for a terrible disease called lung cancer, and recently a scientist named Teresita invented a very useful medicine to help people who forget things a lot to remember them again. The Island Country wanted to share their discoveries with other countries, but Orange man just laughed and laughed.

Orange Man didn’t care about sharing doctors and medicines if he didn’t make all the money from the sale of them himself. He didn’t care if the Island children were hungry or needed other things. He didn’t care about the Far South boss man and his wife that he had locked up in jail far from their home.

How sad!

Earlier some of Jerry’s friends, who sailed in smaller boats on the Tropical Sea, had been given the task to blow up and sink very, very small and teeny-tiny boats belonging to poor fishermen from the various lands that circled the Tropical Sea. Many of the fishermen were drowned when their boats were blown up, and no one from Jerry’s country even bothered to apologize to or look after all the little children who had lost their fishermen daddies.

How very, very, very sad!

This was wrong, but Orange Man ignored them and kept laughing and laughing at their pain. Perhaps he had learned to be so mean and unkind to others from working for the Boss Man?

Meanwhile, Jerry and its crew were tired and sad about what all they had participated in on the Tropical Sea. Now they were told they had to go right away to the Land of the Flying Carpets and help kill more people. There was no time for the crew to rest and no time to fix Jerry’s very cranky insides where all the crew members used the bathroom. More and more poop kept building up inside Jerry’s pipes and then...

Uh-oh.

Jerry’s pipes had had similar stinky problems in the past. Jerry would have to go the “boat doctor” and get cleaned out and fixed up before it was allowed to go back to sailing the oceans. But now… Jerry’s crew members were feeling desperate because only a few of the potties were working well, and they were ordered to keep sailing toward the Land of the Flying Carpets.

Jerry and its crew couldn’t refuse to follow a direct order from Orange Man—could they?

Jerry and the crew might not have wanted to kill others, but they had to do as they were told. Maybe some of the crew helped Jerry’s insides get even more clogged up by stuffing t-shirts and socks down the drains, but we’ll never know for certain. Eventually Jerry’s pipes were full of stinky brown slurry that couldn’t be kept in. Jerry’s potties went kaboom!

Jerry’s crew found themselves wading knee deep in big, stinky trouble!

The crew couldn’t go on without working potties, now could they? And so Jerry was told to stop and rest near the Boss Man’s country.

But while Jerry was off at the coast of the pretend little country, Boss Man and Orange Man began bombing the Land of the Flying Carpets. They in turn dropped bombs on the Orange Man’s military outposts (containing about 50,000 soldiers) surrounding the Land of Flying Carpets. Boss Man and Orange Man then bombed the headquarters of the Red Crescent Society, a group that helps people during disasters. Then they bombed several hospitals, including a hospital with a ward full of babies and mommies, a sports center where teen girls played basketball, and an elementary school, killing over 150+ little girls ages 7 to 12. They also killed the country’s leader, his daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, and his daughter-in-law.

How very, very, very, very, VERY sad!

Jerry’s big, big boat friend Abe was hit at least four times with big mean things called ballistic missiles. Ow! Even Jerry was shot at… An estimated 500 soldiers from the Orange Man’s country were either killed or injured on the first day alone of the war that Boss Man and Orange Man started for no real good reason.

I wish I could write a happier ending to this very stinky story, but at this time I can’t think of one.

The moral of this very stinky story, though, is simple: Selfishness is its own reward. In the rush to take the land, the oil, and all the good things from other people, countries sometimes forget that other countries are full of people just like them. They have families and need food and medicines to live just like everyone else. Blocking aid, kidnapping a president, funding a genocide of the Native People in order to steal their land doesn’t make anyone like or trust your country. Nobody likes a mean and selfish person, let alone an whole country that acts that way.

Countries like the Orange Man’s and the Boss Man’s have ruined their relationship with others. No one will trust them ever again. Other countries will take their business elsewhere and stop using the petrodollar as a reserve currency, too. Why would they want to trade with a country that bombs them and kills or starves their children?

Uh-huh. Can you say, “BRICS is on the rise”?

The Big Bad Wolf called Capitalism fails every time because it puts greed and selfishness before building mutual respect and strong relationships between peoples of the world. In capitalism, greedy military corporations want to sell boats, guns, and bombs in order to make lots and lots of money. These corporations tell bosses like the Orange Man, “You need bigger and better killing machines!” But what do countries do with all the killing machines they’ve spent so much of their peoples’ tax dollars on?

Why, they’ll pick fights with their neighbors and accuse them of all sorts of lies in order to start a war, of course!

War only has one purpose—to destroy and threaten others into handing over their natural resources so they don’t get hurt any further. Making other countries afraid is a very bad thing. Fear doesn’t support a healthy relationship. War doesn’t feed the Orange Man’s people or house them or educate them or give them health care when they need it, either. War is the most negative activity human beings can ever engage in, which is why it should be avoided if at all possible.

The Big Bad Wolf called Capitalism can’t let the wars end—or else it won’t have all the land and resources it wants from others. So, how can we little people slay this Big Bad Wolf?

There’s no “Fairy Godmother” in this tale that flies in with a magic wand to scare away the Big Bad Wolf, but there is one country that gives us an example of how countries should treat each other and avoid wars. China has helped many other countries in recent times to build big infrastructure projects such as trains, bridges, and highways.

By acting as a good neighbor, China makes friends and helps out their potential future trading partners. Sure, China might not make lots and lots of money right away—or even at all—but in time everyone will benefit from the peaceful world and strong relationships their helping others has created.

China inspires trust between itself and other nations. There’s no need for them to start any war or enter into any conflict. They are busy trading with many countries, not fighting them. Mutual respect and cooperation between nations only helps their individual economies grow and their peoples prosper.

And all without the hint of war! Now, that’s a happy ending that Jerry and its crew could live with. Couldn’t you?

Keeping informed could bring about a happy ending…
