His eyes met Bracken’s, who had positioned himself to fire from over the hood of a Toyota. Krieger had decided his best chance was to take out the driver.
When Sergeant Bracken saw the oversized Krieger stand up in the street with both hands forward, his pistol in firing position, he knew they were either going to take out the speeding car, or Krieger was going to have a very bad day.
The car quickly closed the distance. Krieger hadn’t fired his first shot when Sergeant Bracken saw a man lean out the window. He had an automatic weapon.
Bracken and Krieger both engaged.
Krieger stood his ground. The sound of shots from the side surprised the shooter, causing him to turn his gun towards Bracken, the more immediate threat.
Not knowing Bracken’s location, he sprayed three cars around Bracken.
Krieger adjusted his aim after each double shot. He hit the windshield, but the car raced forward.
Things were moving in slow motion; Krieger firing and retraining his sights and Sergeant Bracken shooting in bursts of two and three.
Bracken finally hit his mark with at least one shot. The gunman went limp on the side of the car, dropping his weapon.
Krieger didn’t want to weather this storm again. He kept his sights trained on the driver and flexed his knees. His extensive training was second nature. The split second he could save by being ready to jump could save his life.
The vehicle swerved abruptly, away from Krieger at first, then towards him. Krieger’s massive thighs twitched. He jumped over the trunk of the parked car to his left and the speeding vehicle passed. It tried to navigate the corner again. The driver must have been hit. He slammed into the side of a parked car.
Seeing movement inside the car, Krieger got up, stepped out and advanced. His brain registered the high-pitched sound of the motorcycle that was trailing the car. He heard slugs streaming past him in a wild spray. The deadly sounds were on both sides of him.
Krieger’s head and eyes had turned before his large body could torque and turn. The sound of slugs whizzed all around him. He saw Bracken fly through the air as the sergeant tackled the motorcyclist. The motorcycle skidded past Krieger on its side.
The motorcycle driver was sprawled out on the street, and as Krieger advanced towards him, he saw slight movement. Krieger wasn’t taking any more chances. He shot twice to eliminate the threat. Then he ejected his magazine and slapped in a new one. He inhaled deeply. His eyes scanned left and right.
Silence filled the air and Krieger looked over at Bracken and asked, “You all right?”
The sight of Bracken jumping to his feet as only a twenty-something could after an impact like that was what stories were made of.
The sergeant was filled with adrenalin. “Sure! Never felt happier to be alive.”
There was no time for revelry. They turned to the sedan. Men were getting out of both sides of the vehicle.
Krieger and Bracken immediately advanced and engaged. Shots filled the air. As Krieger and Bracken hit their marks, they each dropped a magazine and seamlessly slapped in new ones, spraying rounds into and around the vehicle.
Suddenly, in the heat of the fire, they heard an uncharacteristic shot from afar. It was much louder than other shots.
The deep thud sound of a man hitting the sidewalk to Bracken’s immediate left startled both men. The body was face down on the sidewalk. His gun bounced off the sidewalk a yard or two away.
Mauricio must have repositioned a sharp shooter as overwatch. Good thing. Even though he couldn’t see exactly where the shot came from, Krieger waved in the direction of the friendly fire… With trepidation, Bracken did the same.
A quick look at the men sprawled around the car verified that they were all down.
Krieger released his empty clip and inserted another, slapping it with authority. He was pissed. Now he knew The Cleric he was hunting. These assassins had been sent to take him out as penalty for getting too close. But too close to what? Krieger knew he needed to stop whatever it was before it happened.

In a safe house near Rochester Hills, Michigan, The Cleric had just gotten some inside information and wondered… who is this Krieger and how much does he know about our operation?
Chapter 21
Adam slammed his palms on the table. “How could I not have thought of this before?”
“Thought of what, Adam?” John, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court asked, maintaining his usual polished demeanor.
“The whole damn thing seems obvious to me now. I should have thought of it before.”
Adam looked around the room. Krieger and Mauricio had just flown in and briefed him and George on the events in Dearborn the previous day.
Adam explained. “Before we got in office, their plan was to have the country take on enough debt so that the only way the globalist bankers could justify loaning us more money to keep the economy going would be if the country put up major collateral; our utilities, roads, land or our natural resources. It would take that much in exchange for continued financing by the Federal Reserve and their globalist banking friends.
“Of course, that would mean the end of the United States as we know it, and the end of the middle class. Now that we’re in office, the deep state insiders can see how we actually plan to start running a surplus. We’ll get the country trending in the direction of financial solvency. They don’t like it, and they have to do something.” Adam was getting louder. “They obviously knew there was no gold… now they’re counter attacking. They know that when we can no longer sell our dollar to OPEC, the reduced demand for the dollar will send our currency plummeting. I’ll bet they’re orchestrating a sell-off in the financial markets, so we have no choice but to take on more debt while putting up our land and resources as collateral.”
Adam took a long-needed breath and Madison stepped in with a logical comment. “But no one could predict what amount of debt would trigger the demise of the country and garner enough support to go to one world government.”
Adam was brisk with his retort. “That’s what they want you to believe. That’s the point here. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before! We can predict it, and they almost had the country to that point.”
George looked intently at Adam. Without saying a word, he signaled for Adam to expound on what he had said so far.
Adam had given them enough background, now he needed to explain what he had figured out months ago, but had never told anyone. “Let me give you an example. Let’s say you wanted to buy controlling interest in a publicly traded company, how much stock would you have to buy?” This question was a setup.
“Fifty-one percent.” Madison answered quickly, without thinking it through.
Adam’s tone softened. “Exactly what most people think, but that’s not how it actually works. The biggest takeovers in the world aren’t orchestrated by someone buying fifty-one percent. You don’t need fifty-one percent to control a publicly traded company, and you wouldn’t need fifty-one percent ownership of a country to control a country.
“Here’s how it actually works. Of the shares you don’t buy, what percent of those people do you think will align with you and vote for your suggestions? When a decision is narrowed down to two options, usually one side gets forty percent of the vote and the other gets sixty percent as their best-case scenario.
“Look at the largest victories in any presidential election in history. When it’s down to two candidates, you almost never hear of any party winning by over sixty percent and, if you do, they call it a landslide. Reagan had the largest margin of victory in any modern-day presidential election. What people remember is that he took forty-nine states. What they don’t think about is, that about sixty percent of the country voted for him. That means that about forty percent either abstained or voted for the tax and spend ideology that would add more debt and send the coun
try one step closer to being taken over by the globalist bankers.”
Madison could see where Adam was going. “You’re right; in corporate takeovers the purchasers usually shoot to purchase over twenty-five percent of the company they’re going to take over.”
Adam nodded. “Exactly.” Then he told them something they’d remember. “Let’s put this principle in terms of how it affects the United States. Once the US total debt reaches twenty-five percent of the total worth of the country, there will be enough people wanting to go to a one world government that it will be done.”
John could see it now too. “They’ll use the debt of the country as their trigger! They’ll say we can’t just default on our debts. They’ll sell the uneducated masses on the fact that if we go to a one world government and use our land as collateral, they won’t have to pay so much of their hard-earned money in interest to the bankers of other countries. They’ll sell the entitlement culture that they’ll get more. They won’t say that the holder of the collateral will be the same families that own Federal Reserve.”
George could also see how the globalists would sell it to people. “And they’ll never tell them about the new one world taxes, the gradual escalation of taxes, and the plan for the rich to get richer. There’ll be virtually no chance for hard working people to ever accumulate wealth or climb up the social economic ladder.”
“Exactly.” Adam nodded.
George asked, “So, everything that’s happening is a means for them to get economic control of the country?”
Adam went to the board. “Absolutely. The tipping point to force the United States to go to one world government is somewhere just over thirty-trillion dollars in debt. They’re almost there and, now that there’s a leak and some of them know how we’re going to run surpluses, they want to stop us at any cost. If we show the American people a surplus can be done, it will take them decades to get back to that tipping point. That’s why they’re forcing the value of the dollar down, and the value of the country with it. They want to change the total debt ratio so they can pull this off now.”
Gabby gasped out loud. Krieger’s nostrils flared. George hadn’t thought of that either.
Adam continued. “The countries who we owe money to, have our signed written agreements saying the debt is redeemable upon request. Now, if we assume someone or something is behind all these countries calling in their debt, let me ask you, who would benefit most from this?”
George’s eyes got steely. The families who own the Federal Reserve and their cohorts! Then he looked at John, who hadn’t said a word in a while. “John, what legal process would they use to do this?”
John had been pondering the same question. “It’d have to go through Congress.” He paused. “Unless they thought it could get through with a popular vote.”
“Could they do that?” George questioned.
“Actually, they could try to maneuver it that way. That’s a way they’ve used in the past to abdicate their responsibility, so the decision can’t be used against them later.”
John thought out loud. “Most likely the deep state will conduct polls on the use of different language so they know how to sell it and how the vote will go. At the same time, the establishment in Congress will lead the masses in that direction through the media. We all know the elites would promise congress lots if they support it.”
Madison could see it happening already. “Bribery! You mean like the comment former President Malik made.”
John confirmed with a nod before looking down. The room fell silent.
Madison put her thought out there. “With the recent developments and the amount of debt we have right now, and with the values of the land and businesses driven down, we’ve got to be close to that tipping point!”
George remembered, “Come to think about it, didn’t Malik suggest a popular vote just a day or two ago? That can’t be a coincidence. Even before this attack on the dollar, all they actually needed to do was reach the breaking point of somewhere over twenty-five percent of the value of the country to force their agenda through.”
“I never thought of it that way.” Madison was stunned and wanted to make sure she was understanding what Adam had said. “They’re forcing a recession and the value of the land and businesses have gone down, so they may be able to force this play with the debt we currently have.”
Adam said, “Absolutely.”
John agreed. “I’m sorry to say, it looks that way.”
George had listened intently and finally said, “I don’t see us being in a situation where we’d allow a popular vote. We should have the votes to stop it, don’t you think?”
Madison said, “Sir, we all know they’re trying to get you out of office. On top of that, if civil unrest makes them feel insecure, that could play a significant part. Also, let’s keep an eye down the road. What about the next president? If they force a vote at any time in the near future, these other countries — or their banks — could claim part ownership of our country.”
George immediately turned to John. “Could they do that?”
“The constitution gives no foreign entity or body power over any part of the United States. However, the answer to the question gets complicated. With the power given to the UN by Obama, there is already international legal precedent to show they have legal rights if we recognize those globalist agreements as law. You see, the globalists have tried to move away from countries having sovereign authority. It’s all a lie, but that’s a legal weapon they’ll use.”
“But we haven’t,” George retorted.
John had the floor. “I’m afraid they could make a strong argument with these precedents in their globalist circles. Now, there’s no legal one world government, but the way these other countries are banding together, you can see how they’d try to make a case for it.”
George had another realization. “Malik said something about eliminating the burden on the taxpayers. That could be their angle.”
John agreed. “It could be a major selling point to garner public support.”
“You can bet on that,” Madison declared. “It would be naive to believe that a significant number of people wouldn’t want to go to a one world government. Part of the globalists’ control is that they’ve taken over our education system in exchange for us taking more debt. Schools have been indoctrinating our children with this for decades. Plenty of people would pressure their senators and congressmen to vote for a one world government, thinking that it would somehow be better. Even when the Founding Fathers were fighting to gain our independence from England, about a third of the country stayed loyal to England and King George. They called them Tories.”
Now George chimed in. “You’re right. Today, a strong third of the country would be loyal to Malik and the socialist one world government agenda. They call it progressive, to signify the progression away from the Constitution and the middle class’s ability to retain the wealth it earns. Their followers are the modern-day Tories. Only about a third would be loyal to us and fight to reduce the excessive taxation that’s causing them and their children yet unborn to be indentured servants to the wealthy.”
Madison added, “The rest of the country resides somewhere in the middle.”
“We’re in real trouble.” Adam turned his head and took a drink of water.
George had heard enough on that subject. “We need to start a list of everyone in congress who would vote for globalization.” Looking at Adam, George continued. “You know… something like we did at the mountain house before the election.”
“Sure.” Adam looked towards Madison. “Madison, can you help me with that?”
“Absolutely. I’m here all day. We can start right after this meeting.”
George had one more thing on his mind. “Madison, can you look into the Federal Reserve and give me everything you know about them.”
Madison was ea
ger; it was right up her alley. “I’ll be happy to, Mr. President.” She hesitated slightly. “There are some things I already know, though there are some things I’ve always wondered about. These things will require access to sensitive information. Could I borrow Colonel Krieger, if he would be so kind as to offer his assistance?”
Standing stoic like an oak by the door, Krieger’s jaw instantly protruded out even farther when Madison said, “Colonel Krieger, would you be so kind as to assist me?”
“Absolutely, Senator. It’s probably a good idea to get some real background at this point. We can discuss some and I’ll get things rolling; then I have one thing I need to attend to. I should be back tonight, so we can reconvene then.”

After touching base with Madison, Krieger was double-timing it down the hall.
Mauricio stepped out and grabbed him by the arm and said, “I know you have to go, but we need to talk, it’ll only take two minutes.”
“That’s all I’ve got,” Krieger responded.
Mauricio nodded for Krieger to follow him into the room. Once inside, Mauricio closed the door and the men stood facing each other.
“Colonel, there’s something I believe you and the president should know.” Mauricio was wide eyed. “I’m able to go into the NSA database and map traitorous activities. I can find money laundering and all kinds of governmental corruption. These secrets inside the database haven’t been processed. We can provide enough documentation to allow the president to uncover every agent of foreign power. We can uncover how members of foreign governments are bribing and blackmailing more than half of Congress. Colonel, we’ll even uncover how members of the CIA, FBI and NSA are bribing and blackmailing Congress to protect and build their budgets. The president will have enough evidence to indict a thousand people, and take thousands more out of their positions for working with the globalists to undermine the country.” Mauricio was deadly serious.
