PARABLES
DEMON CRACY
From the book by Vladimir Megre "The New Civilization"
(translated by Susan Downing)
The slaves walked slowly, one after the other, and each bore a polished
stone. Four columns of slaves, each one and a half kilometers in length,
stretched from the stone polishers to the spot where the construction of the
fort city had begun. Sentries guarded the columns, with one armed sentry
soldier assigned to each ten slaves. At some distance from the walking
slaves, on the summit of a thirteen-meter high, man-made mountain of pol-
ished stone, sat Cracy, one of the high priests; for four months now, he had
been silently observing all that transpired. No one distracted him. No one
dared interrupt his reflection with so much as a glance. The slaves and the
guards perceived the man-made mountain with the throne at its summit as
an integral feature of the landscape. And the person – now sitting motion-
less on the throne, now strolling across the open area at the summit – at-
tracted no one’s attention. Cracy had set himself a goal: he would recon-
struct the government, fortify the priests’ power for a millennium to come,
bring all the people of the Earth under their control and turn all of them, in-
cluding the rulers of governments, into slaves of the priests.
