NEWSFLASH — ENRON VIRUS ALERT

Warning: The Hostile Enron Virus Can Attack Leaders

A new pandemic is upon us

Global Newsflash!

The Enron-Virus has mutated. Early signs indicate that a number of powerful leaders and influencers may have been infected already.

  • The President of the United States
  • The CEO of Nissan — Absconded
  • The Kardashians — At large online
  • The former-CEO of Theranos — Contained
  • The British Prime Minister — Boris is Drunk on Brexit
  • Privileged white males — Intoxicated on power

Patient zero has not yet been identified, but this worrying trend has triggered a global initiative to protect humanity.

All those tested thus far were positive for the new virus that’s sweeping the world today — Ego — a highly infectious, grotesque and unpredictable affliction that morphs on-demand, consuming the hosts’ brain.

If not contained, Ego could spread the “Enron-20 Virus” faster than a fart envelopes a room, wreaking havoc across the Globe.

Warning

Codenamed ‘Show Me The Money’ (SMTM), this Outbreak could dwarf the recent Covid-19 outbreak.

Ethical Leaders have been identified by ‘superspreaders’ as key targets.

That said, early cases do indicate an underlying condition, as all victims seem to be devoid of a “Moral Compass”, symptoms of which include:

In recent days a new “Enron-20 Virus” symptom was identified by medical experts. It seems that the virus can severely impair ones ability to dance.

Alarm bells sounded when the President of the United States clearly exhibited dance-impairment in recent weeks. Trump’s embarrassing moves were as rhythmic as a bulldog chewing on a wasp.

In fact, his contorted face resembled a well-chewed mars bar.

Show Me The Money Team

The “Enron-20 Virus” board voted to appoint Edward Snowden as the Head of SMTM team to combat this silent pandemic due to his intimate experience on risks to society.

Snowden immediately named his senior leadership team, as follows:

The A-Team

  1. Frank Abagnale Jr. (USA) — Fraud advisor
  2. Frank Serpico (USA) — Special advisor
  3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (USA) — Honest politician
  4. Michael Woodward (UK)— Business specialist
  5. Monica Lewinsky (USA) — Whitehouse consultant
  6. Borat (Various)— Why not?

The future of the world rests on the shoulders these 7 individuals, Snowden and his 6 key appointees tasked with a monumental challenge.

One of their immediate concerns is to curb the broadcast of dance-moves that have been linked to communal-PTSD, even selective blindness.

Final Thoughts

Together we can defeat the “Enron-20 Virus” by helping the “SMTM” team to eradicate this stealthy virus.

“Wouldn’t these heroes, placed evenly throughout this world, intimately connected with all that we experience here and now, have a far greater chance of understanding what must be changed and actually be capable of doing it?” — Joe Luca

With that in mind allow me to summarise four key takeaways:

Takeaways

  1. Social media — Take a day off … and, stop following and liking those inflicted with Ego
  2. Be nice — At least don't be an asshole
  3. Move — Exercise, yes; but if you can't dance, then please don't. At least not in public
  4. Vote —Speak your mind at the ballot

There is no guarantee that we can completely eliminate the “Enron-20 Virus”, but it is possible. If in doubt let me remind you of the words of Charles Wickman, a former trader at Enron, who said:

“If I’m going to my boss’s office to talk about compensation, and if I step on some guy’s throat and that doubles it, then I’ll stomp on that guy’s throat.”

Throat-stamping aside, Enron was consumed by greed.

Unlike Covid-19, the “Enron-20 Virus” boils down to leadership selection. As followers, we get to choose our leaders.

What’s your choice? … Choose wisely folks!
