Getting with the Program

This is
the same
as that
& that’s
the same
as this
which means
all things
are interchangeable.

Great.

Now we
can get
with the
Program,
this Program
or that,
it doesn’t
much matter
they’re all
part of the
Big Program.

People who
don’t get
with the
Program are
Anomalies.

Anomalies are
cause for
suspicion
which is
all the
justification
needed for
strong surveillance,
& anyone the
Surveillance Program
can’t pigeonhole
goes straight
to Guantanamo
or someplace
in Poland,
no questions
asked.

Do your
part.

Keep an
eye out
for Anomalies.

But don’t
be fooled
by Outsiders.

An Outsider
is part
of the
Big Program
pretending not
to be.

One way
to spot a
hardcore
Anomaly is
they spurn
Outsiders.

You may
wonder how
this problem
with Anomalies
was kept
in check
before Guantanamo,
but let
me tell
you buddy,
there have
always been
Guantanamos,
ever since
the first
Program sank
its teeth
in &
began
looking around.
