The battle of words and images moves back and forth with each side claiming victory. The majority of the country supports the actions of the Governor. Protests in support of the Governor spread across the country. Hundreds of thousands of people march in the cities protesting the Mexican attacks. Most of the media sources called the protesters anti-Latino racists; they said the damage and stories were all lies made up by the Tea Party and the Coke brothers. The Senate minority leader takes to the floor of the temporary Senate urging action against the Tea Party and the Coke brothers. The President shows images of the destroyed bridge, claiming the Governor ordered it destroyed killing hundreds of poor innocent Latinos who were on the bridge when it went down. The President claims the destruction of the bridge will be felt through the entire country’s economy. He gives fifteen speeches making the claims the Governor, an elected official of the state of Arizona has declared war with Mexico, she cost the American economy billions of dollars. The President tells the country he’s going to have to compensate the Mexican businessmen who built the bridge. This time the people of America aren’t buying it, they’ve seen the images of the damage in Arizona. They’ve heard the stories from people just like themselves. They turn on the President; they called his story a lie. The mainstream media fought back with photoshopped images of dead bodies lying in the rubble of the destroyed bridge.
Hundreds of clashes between both sides spread through the country. In many cases, local law enforcement officers stand by and do nothing as the two sides fight each other. In many cities, the battles grow from small bands of people to groups of hundreds, growing into many thousands who clashed. This becomes the largest series of battles in American since the civil war. No one knows where the firearms came from. On the fifth day of clashes in Phoenix the two sides meet on the edge of Scottsdale, only this time, both sides are armed with rifles and handguns. Molotov Cocktails and crossbows. Twenty minutes later three hundred fifty people lay dead or wounded on the streets. The streets run red with the blood from both sides. The world’s media broadcast the images. Images of men, women and children dead and wounded bleeding where they fell. Hundreds of emergency medical services people work on the wounded while the battle continues around them. Ten minutes into the rescue operation snipers on both sides start firing at the first responders forcing them to leave the wounded on the battlefield. The fighting spreads to other towns and cities in Arizona. On the seventh day fighting breaks out in Naperville Illinois. Eighty-six people on both sides are killed. On the eight day, Oakland California erupts in war, the battle swings back and forth for three days, when the fighting finally ends due to the fire department risking attacks by both sides to spray the fighters with high-pressure water. The months of built up frustration explodes across the country. The Oakland Airport terminal is torched; two terminals are gutted. An entire city block of homes is burnt to the ground, two Walmart’s are looted and burned. On the ninth day after the President arrested the Governor, smoke hangs over one hundred six American cities. The death toll reached four thousand, property damage exceeds fifteen billion dollars.
No matter how much the administration tries to spin the story and provide various distractions, Truth spreads through the country. It’s the straw that breaks the people’s belief in the President. The media tries to spin the story, they try to blame the Tea Party, and they even blame the people of Arizona for not more warmly welcoming the Mexican peasants into America. Only the hard core left still believe the President.
President Obsma knows he needs to swing the people quickly back to his side; the situation is rapidly spinning out of his control. He announces he’s going to give a major speech in downtown Chicago. The President figures he can excite his base by returning to the city that started his political career. He knows his base will take to the streets when he asks them to, given their numbers; he knows they’ll turn the tide before it spins into a true civil war. He also knows the press will eat up whatever he says, further exciting his base.
“My fellow American’s I’ve come here to Chicago where I started my political career, Mary and I started our lives together right here in Chicago. I started bringing voices to those in the inner city which for so long were ignored. It’s here in Chicago that I learned what the real American people; the hardworking people of America want and need. I’ve returned here to announce we as the strongest and most charitable country in the history of the world have not done enough to support the world’s hungry and poor. Too many children go sleep on a cold mud floor hungry, many go to sleep at night without having eaten a thing all day. The average American family throws away more food than many children get to eat in a month. If we the richest country in the world do not help these hungry children, who will? How will history treat us? How will history speak of America? Do you want your grandchildren to learn we allowed millions of children to die of starvation? Do you want your grandchildren to read we had the means but lacked the will to help the hungry? Or the sick? If your children were sick, if your children were hungry, if your children had to go to sleep hungry on a cold dirt floor and you knew there were people who could help, what would you think? How would you feel? We have the means to help the world. We should be the super power of caring, the super power of healing; we grow enough food to feed the world. We pay farmers not to grow food while millions go hungry. The world will love us. No longer will anyone call us “Ugly Americans” no longer will anyone ever want to make war on America. To pay for this massive aid program, I’m announcing I am going to dismantle our nuclear weapons.
These are weapons that cost us billions of dollars a year, weapons we all know will never be used. Weapons that are inhumane, weapons that do such terrible damage and harm, not only to any potential enemy, but to the very planet we all live on, look at the screen behind me, look at the images of the damage our two weapons did to Japan. Look at the horrible burns on the people, look at the pictures of innocent children we harmed who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. We bombed them with a weapon that was still causing harm years later. We caused mutations and a thousand fold increase in cancer rates. Are we, as Americans proud of what we did to the Japanese people? Of course not, should anyone ever use these weapons again? Of course not. Why haven’t they already been destroyed? Because as long as no one has the strength to be first no one will follow, today, America has the strength to be first. Today I’m announcing America will be nuclear free within four years. I’m also ordering the destruction of our only factory that makes nuclear weapons, never again will America cause such pain and suffering, America will provide aid to all who need it, America will lead from the heart, not from the sword. As a first step, we should welcome the peasants from Mexico, who only want to feed their families. They only want to share the American dream. Are we so selfish that we would refuse to share the American dream with those who want to share the same dream we all have? America was made into the great country it is today through immigration. We melded together; we will continue to meld to form a new stronger America. How can a free country have sealed borders? How can we share a dream if we tell others they can’t share that common dream with us? Tomorrow at 6:00 AM EDT, I’m ordering the immigration service and border patrol to cease operation, the immigration staff will be merged into the TSA and DHS. The Border Patrol will serve as an aid support organization for those who share the American dream with us. Let’s put our petty differences aside, let’s put our petty arguments aside. We’re not red or blue; we’re all Americans who share a common dream. We share a dream that our children will have a better life than ours, so do most of the world’s people, we are in a unique position of being able to enable the dream to come true. We’re going to be the light that leads the world out of darkness and into the light of charity. Thank you my fellow Americans.”
Chapter 5
The national evening news programs are interrupted in mid-word; “America we are Anonymous, the President is lying, what you heard today is a lie. Don’t believ
e what the networks and the government show and tells you, they are lying to you. The truth is the President wants and is moving ahead with his plans to destroy America. When he opens the borders, he hopes to overwhelm the current economic system with millions of new government assistance recipients. He plans to bankrupt the country, to default on the country’s debt so that he can rebuild the country in his own image. An image that doesn’t include many of you. The President plans to use the current unrest to create a race war so that many of you will kill each other off, leaving him with only his most loyal followers. America doesn't fall for this scam, rise and overthrow this would be king. We are Anonymous.”
President Obsma asks the chairman of the FCC, “Why can’t we block their transmissions?”
“Mr. President, they can block our communication with ease; we can’t interrupt them. We don’t know who Anonymous is or where they’re located. We’re not even sure they’re located in America.”
“Edger, I don’t care how you do it, find them and shut them down.”
“Mr. President, we’ve been trying to locate them for years all the while they’ve grown stronger, they can hack our most secure networks, and it seems that nothing we put up to block them keeps them out of our systems for very long. Most hackers attack specific computer networks; Anonymous is hacking everything, we’re surprised they haven’t hacked the electrical grid yet, or if they have we don’t know about it. Mr. President, if they want; they can shut the country down. They can turn off the country’s electric grid, jam our telecommunications networks, send trains crashing into each other, turn and lock every street light in the country red leaving traffic blocked from Maine to California. Sir, they have been slowly ramping up their attacks, if they engage us in an all-out cyber war, we’ll most likely lose control of the country.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Mr. President, it’s not only possible but also it’s very likely.”
“Then find them, find them and end their threat to the country.”
“Sir, we’re trying.”
“Try harder.”

President Puten of the Russian Federation smiles telling his ministers, “Obsma is very unstable; he’s most likely going to push America over the edge. If America implodes in on itself and enters a race or civil war, we should consider landing troops to take over and safeguard their strategic weapons systems.”
The Defense Minister addresses the assembled group, “Mr. President, do you think America will collapse into civil war?”
“Minister, I do. I expect the current unrest to grow until either the President steps down or the people rise and fight each other.”
The Foreign Minister says, “Mr. President, can we do anything, should we do anything to support one side of their struggle or the other?”
Puten smiles, he turns to face the Foreign Minister, “Minister, which side do you think we should support?”
“Mr. President, not President Obsma, he’s too unstable, even if we help him, he will most likely turn on us and use his strategic weapons against the motherland.”
“Minister, I agree. If we support their patriots we have to locate a leader we can work with and one we can trust. So far a national patriot leader hasn’t surfaced. If we support the so-called patriots and we continue our plan to take over Europe will the patriot leader become our friend or enemy?”
The Director of the FSB, the replacement for the old KGB, addresses the group, “Mr. President, Ministers, there is a potential leader waiting and watching. We know that ex-US Marine four-star General Brownstone is still leading the US Marines, he’s calling the shots. The FSB thinks he’s the patriot leader in waiting.”
The Defense Minister smiles saying, “Director if what you’re saying is correct, we may be able to work with the General, our General of the Army knows General Brownstone very well. They forged a working relationship over twenty years. They started as young officers, staring across the line in Germany as their careers advanced they got to know each other. They became friends. We can ask the General to contact his American friend. I would suggest we move our timetable on Germany up. We don’t want to be attacking anyone if Brownstone is in any position of power. He’ll be worse than Reagan.”
President Puten replies, “Minister, a very good idea. Ask our General to contact the American. We need to know if Obsma has control of their strategic weapons. I don’t trust the man. He’s a political animal who’s going to break America and rebuild it as a socialist nation. He’s going to run America into the trash pile of history. Once he’s done with America, he’ll turn to his real goal which is world control. Something we can not allow. If we have to destroy America to save the Rodina, I will. Defense Minister I want you to increase the alert status for our strategic forces. I want to have all of our options available if things go very poorly in America. Permission is granted to accelerate our conquest plans.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
President Puten looks around the room before beginning, “While America is distracted this is the perfect time for us to take back our breakaway states. Crimea and Ukraine will be first. We’ll arrange civil uprisings so we can move troops in to help preserve the peace. We’ll claim we have to move in to protect Russians who are being harmed. We have to protect our own people. We’ll encourage them to vote to rejoin Mother Russia. How can the UN say anything if the people vote to rejoin the Rodina? It’ll be the people’s choice. We won’t be an invader; we’ll be seen as helping the people express their will.”
The foreign minister says, “Mr. President, there’s a clause in the international agreement signed, that if the Ukraine asks for help, both the United Kingdom and America are supposed to come to their aid, we could end up in World War 3.”
“Trust me, no we won’t, the UK is too weak to do anything without the Americans and Obsma is 100% focused internally. We can reconquer all of the breakaway states before Obsma figures out or even cares what happened.”
“Mr. President, we can start causing the civil uprising in Ukraine within two hours.”
“Minister go ahead while our General reaches out to the American; we will keep them unbalanced. If the Americans do fall into civil war, we should plan a bold move to take control of Alaska.”
Four of the ministers, look surprised, “Mr. President, Alaska? Won’t that incite and unify the Americans?”
“By the time they learn of it, we’ll be there to stay. Their only response will be to go nuclear, something President Obsma just announced to the world he will never do.”

Premier Xing, of the People’s Republic of China, calls the central military council together, “We've crushed the rebels on Taiwan; next I suggest we absorb Korea. The North struck the south with a nuclear weapon, we'll bomb the North's command bunkers, and since we built them for the child king, we know how to breach the bunkers. After the idiot teenager is gone we'll send three million of our troops over the border completely crushing the north, we'll tell the south we've come to offer them aid, once our people are in their positions we'll wipe out their military. We should be able to bring all of Korea under our control in less than two months. When we do, Japan will kiss our ass to keep us from attacking them. The American's are too consumed in their internal mess, even if they weren't the American President doesn't care what we do as long as we buy their worthless bonds. We'll tell them; we’re studying if we can continue to buy their bonds while we absorb all of Asia, the Americans won’t do a thing to upset us on the hope we’ll lend them money.”
General Jung replies, "Yes, Premier, we can do this, we'll present a plan to you in 24 hours."
Premier Xing replies, "We have waited two thousand years to rule the world, this is our chance."
"Premier, what about the Russians? Won't they try to stop us?"
"No, I've already spoken to President Puten, we have worked out an agreement, we’ll take Asia, and they’re going to absorb Europe."
"Pre
mier, we understand, we'll let Russia swallow too much while we stand by and watch as they try to digest Europe, they'll be tied up in riots and civil unrest for years. In the end, we'll rule the world."

“Brad, Kathy, what did you think of King Obsma’s speech?”
“Ron, we’re so screwed. He’s opening the borders; millions will flood into the country, he’s going to bankrupt the country in less than a year. While at the same time disarming us, he invites the Chinese and Russians to walk in or at least dictate terms to us, they’ll have nothing to fear from us again.”
