In North America: You can’t catch Islamic terrorists by refusing to name them, but with the right media propaganda, you can whip up sympathy for the Monarch butterfly
The always charming but ever wily Kofi Annan got away with it first: had folks close their eyes and imagine butterflies rather than the rampages of Islamic terrorism which cannot be a clear and present danger to earthlings if it doesn’t exist in the first place.
‘Scientists tell us that the world of nature is so small and interdependent that a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest can generate a violent storm on the other side of the earth. The principle is known as the Butterfly Effect. Today, we realize, perhaps more than ever, that the world of humans also has its own Butterfly Effect—for better or for worse.’” (Kofi Annan, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, Dec. 10, 2001)
