general petraeus assumes the stance in afghanistan: part 98

Returning to the present, before going off to inspect progress of the acid-squirting ants, the Black Rook put aside the (now-deceased) King's Side Black Rook effects, kicked his feet up next to his (lit) fireplace and raised a tome or volume of Nietzsche to peruse. The Black Rook was a great admirer of Nietzsche and believed that he was a much maligned man: people had tried to link him to Nazis who had come after him; had called him an extremist and such. But typically, as Nietzsche himself said, the Truth did not need 'protectors' and 'champions' as her Purity was far above the need of deluded humans and their dirty, trampling feet. The Black Rook held Nietzsche to be a man of Truth. He also wondered about climate change and freak storms like the one that had wiped out Pakistan: surely it was man-made thought the Black Rook. He remembered Martin Luther King's speech about rivers of justice and freedom falling from the sky. Were these climate change floods wiping out communities of communists and democrats, black and white and yellow around the world the very same 'rivers of freedom?' wondered the Black Rook.
