The blind ones are the most pampered category of people. Among them, there are often geniuses but I’m not referring to them.
The blind ones who are a burden of society fall into a different category. They are narrow-minded, but they are also admired by the leader: ignorant, servile, unscrupulous. The government loves them, but it may also fall a victim of them, while the individual despises them. These are the terrible blind ones!
Here, we will bring three categories based on a historical calendar:
The first category: The most ancient one of them was Rasputin of the end of 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. He was a genius in terms of cunningness and evilness. This one was a Siberian shepherd who turned into an eminence of the Tsar of Russia, Nicolas II.
The second category is almost unidentified, but it bears the portrait of a peasant from Miredita. Here, they told the warlord to remove the evil ones and the fools from the assembly, because they would harm both the warlord and the assembly. When the warlord refused, the men stood up and said: “The fool (meaning the blind one) renders you all the possible services, but there will come a day when they will kill you”. Those who are servile turn into your murderer! - this was the philosophy.
The third category includes the blind ones who are destroying politics and the citizen, by sucking up to their political leader. Three days ago, Lulzim Basha’s press advisor attacked the critics of his leader. His foolishness was so big that he attacked a woman on television.
We have never had any governments without disgusting bootlickers surrounding the leader.
How was the leader harmed as a result of the advisor?
When the advisor is blind, he touches or steps where it explodes. Who is harmed? The only one who doesn’t suffer any repercussions is the person sucking up to the leader, because this is his job. The shrapnel fall upon his boss and on what his boss represents. The DP, led by the leader and his advisor, received another blow with the so called “Tefta” case. As if the parliamentary defeat and its own farce were not enough, the DP also needed the foolishness of the advisor to receive another blow. This is what the blind do in delicate moments. And by blind, I mean the ignorant and those who are unworthy of being around the leader. They are like bombs that suddenly explode. Rasputin himself, who belongs to the first category, found himself on the edge of Russian tsarism. Many link the fall of the Tsar, Nicolas II with a peasant from Siberia called Rasputin. At first, he just told jokes and then he became the favorite one of Nikola’s wife. One day, he became the icon of the Empire. The Empire fell on the day that Rasputin was found dead, on the brink of the Russian Revolution.
This is how empires fall as a result of the blind ones who are elected by the head of the family. Bootlickers have made a powerful comeback within the Democratic Party. With a pen and paper on their hand, through a computer and through Facebook, they are attacking anyone who is critical against Basha. The only thing that the leader could do after the DP’s catastrophe would be what wise men do when someone dies. They remove the fools in order not to dishonor the dead one.
But the mind of the leader who lives with the blind ones is not illuminated.
A foolish bootlicker killed the warlord in Miredita. The warlord, who was elected by the head of the family, was following the fly that was inside the room, until the fly stopped on the front of his master. In the tragic moment, the bootlicker hit the fly, but he killed his master. The ignorance of the bootlickers that our leaders choose, is tragic. They are cultural and moral eunuchs, therefore the chief likes them.
But why does the chief like them so much?!
Rasputin was liked by the wife of the chief of Russia…, let’s put this aside. But even among us, the chiefs’ wives often make a mess of the state affairs. They offer tens of facts claiming that the parliamentary group of the DP was chosen by leader Basha and his wife. There are many Rasputins in this group. One who is a conservative of the DP, but in favor of the same sex marriages; and the other who mixes up Migjeni with Schiller.
So, why does the chief love the blind so much?
Because they obey and follow every move that the leader does. They attack the opponents and they write poetry for their leader as if he was a beautiful woman. Excessive compliments harm the chief, even when the chief is accepted by the crowd.
Oh, I almost forgot! Do you remember how President Berisha’s referendum on the Constitution was rejected in 1994? Of course you do. That year, president Berisha was at the peak of his authority. But who overthrew him? The bootlickers of the Albanian Television Network. The only TV network that the country had, filled with bootlickers who kept the president on the screen, night and day. Who can stand the bootlickers? They’re dreadful! This is how voters were disgusted in 1994 and that was when the leaders of the Democratic Party started to lose credibility.
