Chapter
Five: The Phone Call
Larry was sitting in the living room, reading Reason
magazine, when Michelle walked in. “Master,” she said softly, “the reason you
are still here on Earth is because you have more work to do. You have already
received, shall we say, your first installment of your reward, but plans have
been made for you, and if you complete the plans, you will receive a much
greater reward.”
“What must I do?” Larry wondered.
Michelle explained, “You have already inspired some people to
take direct action against the wicked government and the wicked professionals
that lock up innocent people, and already, as you have seen in the news,
numerous therapists and psychiatrists have been exterminated, as have a larger
number of cops. However, there is a lot of opposition to the resistance. Many
people are howling furiously. You must speak up.”
“How do I speak up?” Larry asked.
Michelle explained, “We have a telephone line here, actually it
is an extension of the telephone in a Nashua cop’s home. Using a series of
transmitters, and encryption, we can access that telephone the same as the
cop’s cordless phone, so when the call is traced, it will be traced back to the
cop’s house, and NSA cannot intercept our broadcasts, either, since they can
only intercept the last hop, and that transmitter will self-destruct after the
call, so they cannot learn what frequency was being read.”
Larry accepted the telephone, and looked at his watch. He dialed
1-800-259-9231.
“Free Talk Live.” the voice at the other end said.
“I’d like to talk to these people.” Larry said.
“Okay, and what would you like to talk about?” the producer asked.
“Restoring liberty.” Larry replied.
“Hold on, you’ll be on the air shortly.” said the producer.
After a pause, Larry heard a burst of static, and he was on the
air.
Ian, Mark and Julia were in the studio. “This is Larry
Americano, and I just wanted to explain how I was totally justified when I
gunned down that therapist in Nashua, and the cop. First, I sent out a powerful
message to therapists and shrinks everywhere: If you
sign off to get innocent people locked up, you pay the price. You are easy enough
to find. So are cops, and it makes no difference which
cop, a cop is a cop. They are in the business of bringing innocent people to
mental institutions against their will. They deserve it. The ignorant masses of
sheeple have been given enough time to correct the
problem, and they have refused. I read about the two Jefferson Parish deputies
that were gunned down, and dumped in front of the Louisiana State Supreme Court
in New Orleans. Well, let that be a warning to the so-called justices: If you
don’t strike down the unconstitutional statutes and eliminate involuntary
commitments, Freedom Fighters will strike down your cops and eliminate your
police protection.”
Ian said, “We actually have a caller now, who wants to address
you, if you don’t mind.”
“Fine with me.” Larry replied.
“Anna from Montana, listening on the Internet, go ahead.” Ian said.
Anna declared, “I work with people suffering from depression all
the time, and I can tell you that sometimes involuntary commitment is the only
way to get them the treatment they need.”
Larry replied, “Oh, I see, if somebody doesn’t want something, that supposedly gives you the right to force it
on them?”
Anna argued, “It works. I’ve seen it time after time.”
Larry responded, “Well, duh! You ask the hostages if they want
to get committed or if they feel better now, and they say they feel so much
better. What do you expect? They don’t want to be locked up.”
Anna argued, “It’s for their own good.”
Larry replied, “Excuse rejected! Just because it’s for their own
good doesn’t mean they want it, and so to avoid being locked up in a mental
institution for their own good, they have to avoid seeking help. Do you really
expect people who don’t want to get locked up in mental institutions to seek
professional help when there’s the ever-present danger of being locked up and
drugged?”
Anna argued, “There is a mountain of literature that firmly
establishes the success of involuntary hospitalizations.”
Larry replied, “But the mountain of literature does not
establish that the United States of America should not be a free country, with
liberty and justice for all. You can take that literature and stuff it in a
cop’s casket. It’s time for the people to keep exterminating shrinks and cops.
Furthermore, when you have to pay the price with cash because you parked in a
crosswalk, they always leave you a note explaining what you did wrong. When you
make the government pay the price with cops for locking up innocent people, be
sure to leave a note explaining what the government did wrong. On any given
day, the New Hampshire Legislature has two options: Eliminate involuntary
hospitalizations, or Freedom Fighters eliminate more cops. When the price
increases, the deterrent will be more powerful. Then the members of the New
Hampshire Legislature will have to shut off their idiot switches and stop
pretending to think that locking people up and drugging them is going to
brighten up their day and make them glad to be alive. They will have to shut
off their idiot switches, and stop pretending to believe the success stories,
where hostages are asked if they feel better now, or want to stay locked up,
and they say they feel better, of course. They will have to shut off their
idiot switches and stop pretending to expect hostages to tell their captors
what is wrong, when the hostages know that if they wish to give up their right
to remain silent, anything they say can and will be used as evidence against
them in a court of law. They will have to shut off their idiot switches and
stop pretending to believe that they have a right to commit unprovoked violence
against an innocent person because the person will commit suicide if they
don’t. Suicide is a right, the right to liberty. They will have to shut off
their idiot switches and stop pretending they can expect people suffering from
depression to seek help when there is a very real danger they will be locked up
and drugged if they do. When a person who is thus prevented from seeking
professional help does commit suicide, the person’s blood is on the hands of
lawmakers who support involuntary commitments, and the voters who elected them.
Those voters didn’t pull the trigger, but they pulled the lever. It’s time for
people suffering from depression to stop killing ourselves and start killing
cops and shrinks. Any objection, objection overruled, casket closed.”
Anna argued, “In this country, we have a process for changing
the laws. It’s called democracy. If you don’t like the laws, get them
changed, but murdering police officers and mental health professionals is going
too far.”
Larry replied, “First of all, we live in a constitutional
republic, not a democracy. Secondly, killing cops and shrinks isn’t going too
far if it’s not going far enough. Most lawmakers are still saying they won’t
comply with our demands yet, they still want more cops
killed. Those are their options. Killing those cops is not excessive if it is
insufficient. Ian, Mark, Julia, there’s something else I want to tell you.”
Ian said, “Yes, Larry, what is it?”
Larry continued, “I may not be around when the government
eliminates all involuntary hospitalizations of innocent persons. Here’s your
assignment. When the government eliminates involuntary hospitalizations, you’ve
got to issue a public appeal on Free Talk Live, telling the Freedom Fighters
that it’s got to stop. First of all, if compliance with our demands will not
stop the extermination of the cops and shrinks, then the enemy has no reason to
comply. Secondly, offering to issue such an appeal can motivate the enemy to
comply.”
Mark spoke up. “We do not condone or advocate violence on this program, we were just allowing Larry to express his opinion.
If, however, the State of New Hampshire eliminates involuntary hospitalizations
of innocent people, then we will urge the public not to kill cops and shrinks.”
Larry continued, “In New Hampshire. If involuntary
hospitalizations continue to happen in Vermont but not in Maine, tell people
not to kill cops or shrinks in Maine. In doing so, you will not be advocating
any violent actions in Vermont. I know how you people feel about advocating
violence on your program.”
Julia clarified, “Well, the Feds could come after us.”
Larry noted, “You have to be careful what you say, so you don’t
get locked up. Patients on the couch also have to be careful what they say, so
they don’t get locked up. That makes therapy pretty useless. They have to be
extra careful, because they don’t know the rules.”
