Standing Order 666

INTELLIGENCE REPORT:


           The following is an address given to the 1st Mercenary force
           by Major General Lye, Chief of Operations, Department of Deceit.

           Location:    Camp Bowles Church, Afghanistan
           Time:         Month of Satan, Warday 9, 11:00 Occult Time
           Subject:     Standing Order 666

           Good morning troops I'm your CO Major General Lye
           and I have you assembled here to expressly clarify
           why we've implemented a strategic military plan
           to sustain a combat presence in Afghanistan.
   
           First and foremost I want all troops to fully realize
           we are not defending freedom here in any way or wise.
           Our primary mission is to conquer and impose
           the will of corporate interests on all who would oppose.

           These interests include, but are not restricted to
           control of all resources and human assets too.
           Chief among these assets opium is key
           to maintain and grow a drug community.

           I cannot overestimate the importance of these crops
           to the continued funding of black and covert ops. 
           Standing order 666 is to protect and to shield
           the continued cultivation of these poppy fields.

           You will have at your disposal the concentrated might
           of all our military assets to aid you in this fight.
           Complete and strict adherence to the strategy at hand
           is vital to the success of corporate world command.

           The prospects for our future are contigent to our plans
           of sustaining constant war in many target lands.
           We look forward to a prosperous, long dictatorship
           beneath the fiscal banner of corporate leadership.

           Execute your orders, I will keep you up to date
           with further information as events necessitate.
           Without your determination we could not exist
           I thank you for your dilligence...Company dismissed. 


           The Bank of Abomination ordered the president of the Occult to secure the
           poppy fields after the resistance had destroyed quantities of the opium crop. 
           The Occult increased operations in white slavery, child *********** and 
           other cash cows to compensate for the losses.
