Gumball Machines Stole the Brains of Our Politicians!

by Ivar Torkelson

We always just scoffed at Dad when he would tell us that the gumball machines were all imperious leaders from space, that the larger the machine, the higher the rank. When you put a quarter into one of them and got a gumball, it was actually a part of their brain and it would eventually make you succumb to their mind control, all a part of an evil scheme for domination of the human race as they steal our resources.

We laughed until his fantasy became a reality during the most recent government shutdown. We were at a local eatery that served a buffet of “Chinese” dishes mixed with American deserts and confections when he opened a fortune cookie that said “Borrow money from a pessimist—because they will never expect it back.” It was like a sign from the mystical God of the Universe! The government can't seem to get its act together on a budget that doesn't require printing of more Monopoly money to pay bills with and they “postponed” military and Border Patrol pay checks. This, in turn, caused the military to take a holiday leaving the unsuspecting American public ripe for total invasion!

If you are familiar with the famous villains called the Daleks from the science fiction drama “Dr. Who” then you would know something of these gumball machine menaces from the Planet Mars. You would think that the Mars Pathfinder missions would have seen these beings, but there is a lot of ground to cover even on Mars, and they just haven't surveyed enough of the planet yet. And the Gumball Menaces were not going to just come out and say “Hello.”

Lord General Gremlack was the largest of the Martian envoy machines to be stationed on Earth. He landed in a corn field in the clandestine backyard of an Auburn, Washington home, where he he met a young woman named Christine Gregoire. He managed to help get her elected as Governor of Washington State in a series of cleverly planned politcal campaigns and posts in exchange for discretion during the invasion and for any help that she could lend to them to make sure that they were evenly distributed in malls and grocery stores all across the great Evergreen State.

Gregoire was part of a genetic cloning vat experiment. Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Gloria Allred also emerged from the cloning vat and were placed as infants in the homes of their would be unsuspecting socialist parents. Each had a pre-binary-programmed hidden agenda to bring communist ideals to American government and sprinkle these laws with sweet sugary toppings so the American public would agree blindly to them. There were two bi-products from this cloning vat experiment and they were named Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray. They were all, then, forced to chew on lots of gumballs to ensure that their brains were fully under Martian control.

“When you make your inaugural speech, you will make no mention of us,” said Gremlack. “You will be gracious and just use your important post in your dismal, pathetic human society as a cover for our agenda. And if you do well, you will be my favorite pet and live a life of comfort and luxury that you could never have had on this miserable planet.”

They would bring about the “Left Coast Idealism” scheme of government. It's all in the Second Chapter of the “Martian Manefesto” published by Random House. Mars isn't called the “Red Planet” for nothing. Ironically, the Martian flag has a hammer and sickle on it on a field of red with the moons of Dimos and Phobes in the center. They have great respect for the effiencey of rule under Generals Mao and Chiang Kia-Shek.

“Yes my lord.” said Gregoire in her native Martian tongue as she smiled and chuckled manically. She kind of had a “Mr. Burns” sneer and glare as she rubbed her hands together and thought of Washington citizens paying her taxes for her frivolous money squandering schemes. “And I shall make many minions.”

“Yes, and I shall usher in a new era of bloated government that wastes all resources and facilitates our invasion forces. And before anyone realizes what has happened, we will have crippled you all from within through pork barrel spending and corruption!” Gremlack just roared with diabolical laughter. “Mua ha ha ha ha ha!”

With a swine-like squeal of delight, Gregoire graciously assumed her newly appointed position of authoritarian power. She was disappointed that it did not come with a scepter of magic that threw bolts of lightning. But, she can have one of her minions earmark some funds for a secret project that will create such a scepter and she would like to have it throw blue lightning—sure to create fear among her constituency.

“I would like to thank all the little people that have helped in my campaign to get me here and this momentous occasion. I will do all I can to make this state the greatest state in the United States. All other states, including Washington D.C. Looks to us to model their laws after our example!” and the crowd blindly cheered as the rest of Eastern Washington made plans for succession.

And so Gremlack sent word to Mars and the multitude of gumball machines began funneling into the malls and grocery stores of Washington. All the while they were transmitting subliminal messages through AM talk radio shows beaming from stations in Seattle. They were messages that bolstered the mind control through gumballs chewed all across the Puget Sound. The weak minded were even compelled to pick up the ABC gum (all ready been chewed) found on sidewalks and underneath school desks. They would make great Olympia politicians—easily controlled and corrupted—and would create new taxes and laws without representation of the people they intended to be affected.

In other states all across America, similar machines were distributed, but only enough to create plausible deniability and deflect any scrutiny among conspiracy theorists that might have figured out the Martian Plan—not to be confused by the Marshall Plan however similar they might be to one another on paper. But if you circle every third, forth and sixth letter of the Marshall plan, it translates directly into Martian through the use of an electronic Rubic's Cube and spells out the 10,000 Martian Commandments that they intend to rule humans with once the invasion is complete.

Dino Rossi was forced to concede to Gregoire under the threat of having his brain eaten by zombies, even though he found out that dead people and felons were voting for her. He was not blind to the fact that zombies were coming into the polls and casting their votes. But if he was to make mention of this fact that only he was aware of, he was afraid that people would not believe him. He also learned that Randy Newman, that famous song writer that wrote the theme song “It's a Jungle Out There” for the “Monk” television series, was also working under the mind control of Martians—that is just a random fact.

Strangely enough, the zombies returned to their tombs after the voting was over, only to return four years later and do it all again. They weren't even interested in brains because even zombier know better than to eat from those infected by Martian mind control. Now you know why there is this dubious interest in zombies in television and pop-culture over the last few years. It all has to do with the subliminal messages beamed in AM talk radio—which has since been simulcasted on the more popularly and widely used FM band.

There are so many symbiotic relationships that the Martian Gumball Army (MGA) has interwoven into human government and it's constituency. So many, that there are too many to account for in this short story, but after Gregoire's second term as Imperious Leader of Washington State, er I meant, Governor, she was hand picked to head up a budgetary committee by the not-so-popular-but-by-some-miracle-elected President Obama.

And so the smoke screens often used to fog American's and give them false assumptions as to what was a higher priority were not limited to but listed as follows: Gun Control, Gay Marriage, Obama Care, Zombie Response Teams, Middle Eastern Conflict, The War on Terror (Not to be confused by Halloween Parties or Fun Houses), and the War on Drugs. All of these things were to hide the true issue of the economy bringing about the government shut down that would then usher in the NWO (New World Order) headed by the MGA which would then bring about Martian domination of Earth.


Now that you have read this story, what are you going to do with this information? I know that I have blown the cover of the Martian's imminent invasion so I have opted to use my pen name of “Ivar Torkelson” to avoid being captured and having my brain blended and sipped through a straw by Lord General Gremlack. Be weary of gumball machines. They know what's up and they will take over your brain. Whatever you do, don't acknowledge who they are as they will surely enslave you and make you do their bidding. They already have control of all levels of government!
