Let me tell you a story.
The history of one of the new world religions – the so-called „Cargo Cult“.
What is a Cargo Cult? The cargo cult, also called the „Cult of the Celestial Gifts,“ is a strange religious practice still popular in the remote islands of Melanesia. This is in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere between Australia and Hawaii.
The cult dates back to the 19th century, when the first European merchants reached these islands and erupted with incredible force during World War II. Then American and British troops landed on the islands and began – naturally – to receive supplies of food and weapons, which planes dropped from the sky.
Can you imagine – huge chests full of food, clothes, weapons and all kinds of household items fall from the sky with parachutes. And because the soldiers distributed food and items to the locals, they began to believe that it was a gift from the gods.
Okay, but at some point the war ends, the Americans and the British leave, and the divine gifts stop falling from the sky. Bad because the worshipers of the Cargo Cult have already begun to believe that all Western goods and products were created by the spirits of the aboriginal ancestors and were intended only for them.
And what do the aborigines do? Well, they decide that white people know some spells with which they have become accustomed to all this grace. And since the white people are gone, the aborigines decide that in order to call back the chests falling from the sky, they must repeat one by one everything that the soldiers did. To repeat the magic. One to one, without missing any details.
And they start building imitations – absolutely exact replicas of runways, control towers and airplanes. True, they make them from trees, branches and leaves, but otherwise they are the same. They make radio antennas out of straw, headphones out of coconuts, rifles out of sticks… Almost real… They draw orders on their bodies, do military training, and march. They give orders and shifts. Torches depict signals that should attract planes into the sky. Everything looks real, but it’s not.
Everything I tell you is a fact. This is true.
Do you feel where I’m taking you?
Do you feel how the Cargo cult has become the main religion here in Bulgaria?
Do you feel who is the high priest of this religion?
Do European people live successfully?
Let’s see what they do and do the same!
They have no corruption. What? Because they have laws and prosecutors… Give me and we will weave laws and prosecutors out of straw. And on the most important cap we will knit.
Do they have a judicial system that works? Quickly bring coconuts and dry twigs to weave a judicial system, See that it looks just like theirs. What about mud and straws? Does it look the same – it seems. Any claims?
They fight the coronavirus. How? With quarantine? Let me weave a quarantine of straw, too. But in theirs there is state aid for everyone who stays at home, business aid and what not. How do we know? We quarantine our quarantine and it looks beautiful.
Democracy, elections – we will weave, yes. Give mud, straw and sticks. Hey him – the same. It can’t help but work…
And so, instead of being what it should be, an ugly creation is created. Outside – the same as the original, inside – hollow.
Hey, this is the Cargo cult. The new official religion of Bulgaria. And its high priest is Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
