The National Security Council meets for Gysi's "radar"
There is something magnificent about the way this country chooses national dangers. Not war. Not crime. Not borders. Not the economy. Not personal data that goes up for sale. Not institutions that leak like a sieve.
No.
The security of the nation has never been more at risk than today, when some SMS messages from Gysi with Mrs. Vlorë were released. Maximum alert. Almost a state of war. Convene the Security Council. Raise the radars. Notify the allies. The nation is under attack… sentimental.
Meanwhile, this nation would have been much safer when we sold oil to Milosevic's army. It was safe when we got into minority squabbles. It was safe when elections were won with results that even mathematics refused to recognize. It was safe when the opposition was beaten for protesting.
It was safe when the army depots were broken into and we armed ourselves against each other. When newspaper offices were burned. When we were killed "unintentionally". When the borders were breached and the Adriatic Sea was filled with the bodies of our compatriots fleeing Albania.
He was safe when barricades were erected to enter cities. When MPs were killed. When every summer a score was settled with bullets. When Kosovo was invaded. When we destroyed the economy with our own hands. When businesses were closed by order, and privacy was exposed in taverns, on WhatsApp, in Excel and on television.
The nation was super safe when Gerdec exploded.
None of this shook national security.
But here comes the disaster.
Messages from Gysi's spirit.
Here the state remembered that it has radars. Even very sensitive radars. They catch pulses, emojis, hearts, longing, nostalgia… everything. Surprisingly, these same radars have not caught drugs, corruption, information leaks, organized crime or millions that evaporate for years.
They are selective radars. They only work on the Gysi frequency.
Therefore, the Security Council must urgently convene. To analyze the strategic threat posed by Gysi's devices. To set the alert level according to their height above the ground. Because this is the new standard of national security, meaning not how well protected the state is, but how low the goggle hangs.
When it comes to them (the goggles
), security turns off the radars for everything else and turns on the sirens.
Long live the nation that has survived wars, rebellions, poverty, emigration, corruption, and tragedy, but which today trembles at the sound of an SMS.
May I lighten your security blanket, O nation!
