Hello dear reader!

I am Hugh (yeah! not a very savvy name but there it is) I may not be alive when you get to read this post. I am in the Mexico City headquarters of the Department of Natural resources. I am forced to write this as the company guys have traced the bulb here. They are ruthless about wiping all of them from the face of this earth. You Steemians may be the earths last hope.
Wait! Let me explain. How many times have you heard the phrase "The rich corporates are sucking the lifeblood of the masses." Well it is TRUE the head honchos are Vampires. Why do you think they went into GMO and farming? Who do you think owns Nonsando and Forkacola.? 99% of the world's garlic is extinct- replaced by a Genetically Modified duplicate. All true Rowan wood has been destroyed, may be some furniture or Rowan exists but that's it! And silver bullion is being cornered every day- though it is not as powerful against them as Rowan and Garlic
OK now back to why I am in Mexico City. Mayans, the ancient civilization had cultivated a particularly potent ( deadly for the vamps) garlic. The professor who discovered that the crop still grew sent out a sample to the Ministry. Since then the professor has disappeared. I have manged to get my hands on the sample- a single bulb of garlic - white with a pinkish hue about as big as a ping pong ball. But the Company is here in this building. I am using the archive room computer to get this message out in case I get killed and the company burns this bulb.
Bye for now, I may yet survive.

The story will be continued @carolkean:

Hello dear reader!

My name is not Hugh, but I have read Hugh’s impassioned plea for help with the last garlic bulb on earth.

Hugh is a good man, make no mistake about it, and Mexico’s DNR (Department of Natural Resources) is staffed by a few good souls.

“End of the World” scare tactics are dime a dozen. While everyone is rushing about trying to protect the “last” garlic bulb on earth, millions of Midwesterners are decimating a potent, invasive, evil form of garlic, the dreaded GARLIC MUSTARD, which is so awful, deer will not eat it. Herds of goats are being hired out for $300 per visit to residences across the United States, because goats will eat anything, even poison ivy and garlic mustard.

Unfortunately for the woodlands and forest understory, there are not enough goats for hire to stem the invasion of the dreaded garlic mustard. Fortunately for Hugh and his cohorts at the Mexican DNR, there is still PLENTY of this vile, non-native species in America’s heartland.

My name is Alliara, and I have been blogging about this for years. Luckily, Nonsando and Forkacola weren’t paying attention. And now, come, help yourself, please. Not even Nonsando and Forkacola have enough henchmen or goats to wipe out the dreaded garlic mustard!
The lost weapon is no loss, dear,

because I --we! we here in the Midwest! --have a weapon that is unstoppable. How many legions of goats, how many years will it take, before the springtime ephemerals, the woodlands, the understory of our forests, are safe?
Hang in there, Hugh,

I'm coming, in cognito, to the rescue. Most of Mexico is sunny and dry, conditions that are not conducive to the rapid spread of the dreaded ... well, see, watch for a woman who goes by the name of Alliaria Petiolata. She will be adorned in goat tattoos. (Temporary, of course; I hate needles, and vampires, and I'd never make a permanent fashion statement on my body.)

Sleep well, my friend, and don't let the bed bugs bite, nor the vampires. Also, be warned: if you partake of the garlic mustard, your breath will ward off more than vampires. Ladies like me will also flee.

But you will not imbibe, I know. Only those addled Europeans who brought their nasty garlic mustard with them to the New World would cook with this stuff. While 21st Century Americans desperately try to find ways to eat the invaders, the better solution is to use it on vampires.
Love you, Hugh!

Your saviorette,
Allia

PART -3

The Mexico Daily carried this headline yesterday.

Another 200 year old corpse found.
This is the seventh body found in this peculiar condition. The body has no blood at all and the skin is pasty white. The corpse was wearing an Armani suit and carrying a packet of blood plasma in his pocket. All around was the smell of garlic and an Alliaria Petiolata plant was found beside the body. Police are baffled as to the cause of death as the corpse is supposed to be 200 years old.

The Washington Phost carried this headline

Nonsando hires 300 goats as security guards

In a surprise move Nonsando has announced a plan to beef up it's security with goats at all its major facilities around the world. Goats are propounded to be the best ever defense against natural toxicities. They will receive extensive training in commando defense tactics, team work and ...

Dear Reader,
This is Hugh again. I managed to survive hiding in alley ways and tunnels and bathrooms till Allia of the goat tattoos came down upon the company men like a vindictive angel. The world has been saved once again from evil forces. This time the unlikely saviorette was Allia bringing out Garlic Mustard to combat the growing tide of vampires. We are starting a socio- political movement - Weed for the world. The Logo is a bulb of garlic.
A bold new era has begun to bring down the Company Men. Go get your Alliaria Petiolata
Tips for huge income opportunity:

• breath mint manufacturing
• goat farming
  Stay safe- keep Garlic Mustard handy,
  Hugh
