Ideas

McIdeas

• I'd like more of a description of the entity
• The helpfulness that constituted Thaumiel classification needs to be integral to the narrative
  • I really want it to be a way to get the Foundation out of paying taxes to the nations it operates in, especially with cover operations and such.
• Georgism is fun as hell and I want to see those themes played up harder
• Directive Tributum needs to be more interesting

Stop1010's Ideas

• Add more tie-ins (Lasagna Cat, Garfield, Georgism, etc.)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a Baser-Gulyang Extra-Dimensional Humanoid Object (EDHO) containment chamber at Site-67. Presently, SCP-XXXX may be utilized by individuals with at least Level-4 clearance who have been given approval by the SCP-XXXX containment team. Any potential utility of SCP-XXXX that is predicted to conflict with Directive Tributum is to be denied (See addendum B).

Under no circumstances are individuals fitting any of the following criteria to be permitted access to SCP-XXXX:

• Individuals who have filed their own tax returns.

• Past or present Certified Public Accountants or Enrolled Agents who specialize in the filing of tax returns.

• Past or present employees of the Internal Revenue Service or any analogous branch of government

• Past or present instructors of classes that have covered tax-related material, including but not limited to economics, civics, politics, financial responsibility, etc.

• Past or present students of classes that have covered tax-related material, including but not limited to economics, civics, politics, financial responsibility, etc.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity with no discernible features or characteristics, measuring 2-meters in height and 172 kilograms in weight. SCP-XXXX possesses no organs, only possessing a skeletal structure and anomalously autonomously functions. SCP-XXXX displays the anomalous ability to drastically change its appearance at will. SCP-XXXX has been recorded to utilize this ability 3 times in order to impersonate the following individuals:

• Henry George for a 2 week period before the release of Progress and Poverty in 1879.
• Jim Davis shortly before the release of the first Garfield comic strip (June 19, 1978).
• John Blyth Barrymore shortly before the release of 07/27/1978
• Yusof Bin Ishak shortly after Yusof Bin Ishak became the president of Singapore in 1965.
• Frank Stephens shortly before the launch of a Georgist campaign in Delaware, U.S.A in 1894.

SCP-XXXX does not age and has changed its appearance to reflect the aging of an individual it was currently impersonating. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX does not require sustenance of any variety.

SCP-XXXX's actions seem to indicate that the entity's motivations are to disseminate the political ideology of Georgism although it is uncertain if it has fulfilled its intentions at the present moment. SCP-XXXX does not display any aggressive behavior towards Foundation staff, excluding individuals who fit the criteria listed in the Special Containment Procedures. Individuals who fit these criteria will be terminated through means that are most accessible at the present time. It is believed that SCP-XXXX does this act in an effort to terminate proponents of any non-single tax ideology (due to no nations currently implementing Georgism).

SCP-XXXX is of extradimensional origin and has performed the above actions in several separate universes before relocating to our universe.

It is unknown where the current location is of SCP-XXXX's victims is at the present time.

+ Addendum XXXX-A: Log of Impersonations

Subject Impersonated	Date of impersonation	Actions taken by SCP
Henry George	1878/12/04	Radically altered the Georgism logo to an orange feline labeled as "Garfield," a derogatory term used to label landlords. SCP-XXXX has altered the novel, Progress and Poverty as to coincide with this use of "Garfield" several times.
Jim Davis	1978/03/18	SCP-XXXX has used Garfield and his image in the political satire comic, "Garfield". The Garfield comic portrays the character Garfield as a representation for landlords and consists mostly of Georgist propaganda aimed at adolescences aged 7-12.1
John Blyth Barrymore	2017/01/01	SCP-XXXX appears as the sole actor in the film 07/27/1978, a film that discusses the comic "Garfield" and it's figurative analogies portrayed through its characters and how it directly correlates with traditional Georgist values. An example being Garfield's owner Jon Arbuckle being representative of land inspectors.
Yusof Bin Ishak	1965/08/11	SCP-XXXX enacted a land value tax upon the country of Singapore. SCP-XXXX has cooperated with the Singapore government in producing Georgist propaganda including movies, novels, and comics.
Frank Stephens	1894/12/26	SCP-XXXX conducted a political campaign through the years of 1895 - 1896 to gain political control of Delaware, U.S.A.

+ Addendum XXXX-B: Directive Tributum

Directive Tributum was enacted to ensure SCP-XXXX does not acquire information regarding the state of Georgism after its enactment. This is to ensure SCP-XXXX is in proper condition to be used as a possible interviewer of select humanoid anomalies.

Directive Tributum is a set of procedures enacted every 2 weeks consisting of introducing SCP-XXXX to several Foundation produced examples of anti-Georgist propaganda films. Said films consist of the following:

• Henry Geroge is a largely despised historical figure by the general populous.
• Georgism is mocked by the general populous.
• The term "Garfield" is used as a compliment by the general populous.
• Landlords are known as heroes in modern society.

SCP-XXXX is to be told that the propaganda that it has been exposed to was produced as educational pieces by the United States government.

Furthermore, SCP-XXXX is to be told the SCP foundation is a pro-Georgist organization, with its main goal being to propagate the use of Georgism worldwide.

---

Update 2018-02-05: After approximately 7 months after the enactment of Directive Tributum, SCP-XXXX has been cleared for the interview of humanoid anomalies.

SCP-XXXX has been selected for this use due to its ability to change its appearance at will. Shortly before an interview is conducted, SCP-XXXX is to be told that the interviewee contains valuable information concerning possible Georgist policies (under the pretense that the Foundation is attempting to deduce these policies through the use of an interview.)

SCP-XXXX is to be constantly reassured that the questions it has been given are aiding the Foundation's perceived goals.

SCP-XXXX is to change its appearance to match acquaintances of the interviewee, in order to make the interviewee more likely to present extra information.
