U.S. Military Bases are Alright, Under One Condition ...

“We should find new solutions for new problems.” These are words spoken in 1962 by thinker Ignatius J. Reilly, someone from the United States who lived out the better part of his existence in New Orleans, was a pupil of John Kennedy Toole and molded his philosophy out of the works of medieval philosopher Boecio.

 

This logic was one of the cornerstones of the philosophical tradition developed by O'Reilly, and his ideas could be of great benefit to the nations to the south of the southern United States.

 

[Editor's Note: The writer is having some fun with his readers. Ignatius J. Reilly is the main character in John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces, a book considered, according to Wikipedia, "an important part of the 'modern canon' of Southern U.S. literature." Toole was a New Orleans novelist].

 

Given the critical juncture Colombia finds itself in due to the installation of seven U.S. military bases on its territory and the predominance of belligerent, dictatorial models of government, one of O'Reilly's social engineering proposals stands out for its uniqueness.

 

It's important to note that O'Reilly was a great observer of the masses, working in factories where he tried to raise awareness among workers about their living conditions, and for a time ran a hotdog cart that allowed him to walk the streets of New Orleans, getting to know all sorts of characters, including residents of the French Quarter.

 

It was thanks to an encounter with homosexual bohemian Dorian Green that O'Reilly had a revelation: “My intelligence, unruly and exuberant as ever, whispered to me such a bold and majestic plan that I shuddered at the very idea I was hearing.  'Stop!' I cried, imploring my divine intelligence. 'This is madness!'"

"But even so - I heard the advice of my brain. I was being offered a chance to Save the World Through Degeneracy. There, in the worn out cobblestones of the French Quarter, I sought the help of another wilted flower of a man, asking him to muster his most demented friends and unite under a banner of brotherhood.”

 

The plan that O'Reilly put forth in his writings consisted of reuniting Dorian Green and all of his “sodomite [homosexual” friends to infiltrate the military and upper echelons of government:

 

“Our first step will be to elect one of them to a very high position: The presidency, if Fortuna smiles upon us. Then they would have to infiltrate the military. As soldiers are always fraternizing among themselves, they would make their uniforms fit like sausage casings [tight fitting], invent a new variety of combat uniform and throw cocktail parties, etc. Who would ever have time to fight?”

 

On the ability of the country's military or civilian leader, which is the issue of concern to us - O'Reilly says, “Whoever we end up making head of state will deal only with his elegant wardrobe, which would allow him to dress, according to his whim, as head of state or a young girl."

 

O'Reilly's proposal isn't confined to the national sphere. It's expansionary.

 

[El Espectator, Colombia]

 

“Upon watching the successes of their comrades in uniform, the rest of the world's perverts will stand together and gain control of the military establishments of their countries. In those reactionary countries where gays have trouble taking control, we'll send help; we'll send gay rebels to help them overthrow their governments. After we've finally brought down all existing governments, the world will no longer have wars but global orgies carried out with all protocol and in a truly international spirit, for those people will go beyond petty national differences. Their intelligence will have but one objective and they'll be truly united. They will think as one. … Degeneracy, rather than being an indicator of a society's decline, as in the past, will now be a sign of peace for a troubled world.”

Colombia is an ideal laboratory to bring to fruition O'Reilly's ideas. Given the characteristics of the war and the international ramifications, this would be uniquely applicable today.

 

The North American bases will be a beachhead. It is essential that the Marines who come to our country be openly gay, so that the “sodomite” North American soldiers contaminate Colombian troops. Some of them will come out of the closet, others will knock the war mongers from their ranks to enlist more gays; the guerrillas and paramilitaries will also be infiltrated and succumb to the same destiny, ergo, the Venezuelan military will change its raison d'etre and at the same time the Libyan and Iranian militaries would be infected. The call will be extended to the Arab world, and from there it will be on to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and finally the Russian and North American armies will become possessed by this spirit. No one will stop this movement toward “opportunity, justice and equality for all.”

 

"The solders in charge of maintaining world peace will be a colorful and festive army and would no longer participate in arms races. Instead, all kinds of trials and disputes would be resolved in the men's room of the redecorated United Nations."

 

"Ballets, Broadway-style musicals and similar kinds of entertainment would flourish everywhere, and common people will likely be much happier without the gloomy, aggressive, and fascist proclamations of their former leaders …"

 

"Almost everyone else has had the opportunity to rule the world. I don't see why they shouldn't have theirs. It's obvious that most of the time, they've been the victims …” O'Reilly concludes.

 

It's evident that O'Reilly's bold proposal will be resisted at first, because in the words of Jonathan Swift, “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”
