The word "Skeksis" serves as both singular and plural form for the species, with the singular being pronounced /ˈskɛksɨs/ and the plural
/ˈskɛksiːz/. They are described by Brian Froud as, "... part reptile, part predatory bird, part dragon." In America, the Skeksis are represented
by puppets engineered under the direction of TPTB.
The skeksis are tall bipeds combining both avian and reptilian physical features. They wear elaborate but threadbare robes of lace, velvet, and
brocade which apparently keep the skeksis' constantly decomposing bodies intact and make them look larger and more intimidating. Their heads are
beaked like a vulture's, while simultaneously sporting curved fangs. They have bloated bellies and long reptilian tails, as well as curved quills on
their backs. Despite their frail appearance, Skeskis are politically powerful creatures.
The Skeksis are the corrupt rulers of the planet Earth, having inherited it from their benevolent Anunnaki predecessors. The Skeksis culture favors
repetitive flamboyance, emotional pettiness, and a wasteful attitude toward life. Though they are capable of forming alliances, they are by nature
extremely paranoid toward each other. Due to the accelerated decomposition of their bodies, the Skeksis constantly search for ways to prolong their
lives at all costs. Their primary method is to expose themselves to the limelight directly through the US political system, though the amount of
energy replenished to them is greatly dependent on the support they receive from private donations and super PACs. Another method is a form of
"planetary acupuncture," in which oil drilling platforms laid on their ocean claims channel the planet's energy directly to their wallet, then
feeds back noxious spills, resulting in their ocean's wasteland appearance. A third method is to directly drain the lifeforce from other life-forms
by fraudulently exposing their personal information to the media. This has the effect of turning the drained victims into near-mindless husks which
the Skeksis use as slaves. The Skeksis' language is ill-suited to descriptions of long, complex processes as it is restricted to nouns, adjectives,
and expletives.
The products of a botched attempt by Christians to purify their souls by using the lost tribe of Israel from the Book of Mormon, the Skeksis entered
the world of Earth hating their non-Mormon counterparts, as well as each other. As time passed and the Skeksis morality decayed along with their
bodies. Desperate, the other Christian sects sought counsel in prophecy, which revealed that a venerable elder (Ron Paul) would end the rule of the
Skeksis by healing the Book of Mormon with scripture tablet it once lost. When the Skeksis learned of this, their first reaction was to create more
false scripture tablets and aid Mitt Romney in receiving the Republican nomination in order to confuse Ron Paul's search.
So is he a Skeksis or not, America? I leave it to you to decide. In the meanwhile, here's a video of a Romney family Thanksgiving:
