I hope that you are dead after receiving this message. Without doing anything and not worrying. In such black silence we have no choice but to rest in peace. They will have finally confirmed that we had reason to disbelieve. There is no verse to be seen. No final judgments, kingdom of heaven, hell. I’ll just tell you everything. Guilt, sin, punishment. Scary stories with which they teach you to tame you without neighing, without you asking questions. To have known it in time, right?
Why am I writing to you if I don’t expect an answer? Known connections, data, WiFi, parapsychologists, mediums, saints, virgins, witches, shamans, psychics, mystics, various drugs, the cup game, crystal balls, coded prayers, nothing works. They switch off when you need the service most. You end up frustrated and screaming at the ceiling, into the shadows. Hello, hello, do you hear me? When you get there, knock three times! Don’t laugh like that, idiot. It loosens your jaw. The few teeth still attached to your skull will come loose.
Where should I start? It is not so easy to get rid of everyday life, the news, the opinions on social networks, the panelists, the predictions, the horoscopes, as if the cackling were a coat to hang on a hanger. More in this heat. After so many years of stealing, cheating, denying, lying and hiding, you can’t believe what they are still able to say and do, this sausage chain that has left half the country in poverty. Politicians, business people, union leaders, panelists, streamers, power lickers, pocket rodents.
Authoritarians don’t like that
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a mainstay of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe that they are the owners of the truth.
The process of uncovering the largest blind wells in history continues. There is no prosecutor job that is enough. He exploded the toilet of the AFA, where it has been shit on everything since the time of Grondona, shit continues to come from the legislature of Buenos Aires, the authority for the disabled, the Massa dollar. Those who repent in the bribery trials share with the fan. The list of defendants, defendants, suspects and those about to fall would force you to remember who each one was. Without going into details, such as “because of a mistake” Aníbal Fernández, Abal Medina, Capitanich got away from the Football for All deal, or that Insaurralde is still free.
You stayed cold. You are no longer there to raise your voice and fire bullets. Leading before, now digital. The download made the work worth it. They targeted birds of prey, scavengers and cargo ticks. Fraudsters with speeches, slogans. They kept the bodies in a state of decomposition in order to continue sucking blood. I couldn’t even warm you up by comparing the percentages of dry lives to those of prisoners in a shared cell, without ankle bracelets.
Did it serve any purpose? Research, inform, publish. Consult three independent sources. Follow the path of basic questions. What? WHO? How? When? Where? Why? Rather, the personal ones, the intimate ones, that made you feel like you were undergoing an excuse detector to periodically check the explanations with which your conscience tends to justify itself. If the result of this analysis there, inside and out, was good, we had to take the risk. Exile, threats, trials. Nothing heroic either. Nobody forced you.
The look doesn’t age. Neither is curiosity. How will 2026 come? I imagine the sign. You are blind. Come to me. I’ll do the first one in January. I sing, I tell you. See you soon. Maybe in a few years we will be able to communicate through Mercado Negro, an application that transfers feelings between offshore holes in the universe. Let’s find out how far they want to go.
Do not throw away the envelope. Issued with a label at the bottom that reads: “Handwritten letter from a purported artisanal intelligence (AI) in black pen on white paper with fine gray streaks” – 21st century, circa 2025-2026″, it could be part of a selection of objects representative of the analogue age. It could be of interest to those who collect remains, recover bones and reconstruct memories.
See you.
