  “Mr. President, I can’t and won’t, your new minimum wage and Full Employment Act have driven inflation out of control. Sir we’re on the verge of a tipping point into hyperinflation, once that happens it’s going to be very difficult to stop it. We’ll default on our interest payments; the dollar will cease being the world’s currency, sir we’re in boiling water. We have to take steps to reduce spending so we can make the required interest payments.”

  “Lisa, you’re such a worry-wort, just add $35 billion to each agency account.”

  “Mr. President, I can’t and won’t do it.”

  “Lisa, I’m sorry but you leave me no choice. I hereby terminate your contract with the Federal Reserve. You have an hour to clean out your office and leave the building.”

  “Mr. President, I have a four-year term with three years left; I’m not leaving, and you can’t fire me.”

  “Lisa, we’ll see about that, I’ll have DHS agents there shortly to remove you.”

  Violent crime numbers increase 200% in the first month after the gun buy back program ends. Criminals didn’t turn in their guns; they knew most people had turned in their firearms, so the criminals have nothing to fear from store owners and homeowners. That is until two teenagers try to rob a liquor store in Naperville Illinois. The teenagers get the shock of their short lives when the store owner reaches under the counter and shoots one of them through his right eye with a small crossbow. The store owner reloads the crossbow, hitting the other teenager in the back as he runs down the street trying to get away from the store owner.

  The Chicago media travels to Naperville to interview the store owner, “Mr. Lewis, can you tell our audience what happened here?”

  “These two punks entered wanting money; they’ve robbed me twice before, this time I decided I’d be ready for them. I bought this small crossbow at Cabelas; it doesn’t shoot very far, but close in, it sure does its job. I’m telling you, I’m going to buy some more of them, if I can’t have a gun to defend myself, I’ll keep loaded crossbows at the ready.”

  “Mr. Lewis don’t you think these two young boys …”

  “Listen, Ms. reporter, they weren’t no young boys; they were young men, in their twenties, they’ve robbed me twice before. Both times the police said there’s nothing they can do.”

  “Mr. Lewis, maybe these poor boys came from a broken home, maybe all they were looking for was a shoulder to lean on and you killed them in cold blood.”

  “They came into my store with handguns; I had to turn mine in, what’s the police doing about taking their guns off the streets?”

  “Mr. Lewis as I’m sure you know, their guns weren’t registered, so there’s no way to track them.”

  “That’s why you should have let us keep our guns.”

  “Mr. Lewis, if you’d had a gun, you may have killed someone on the street if you missed the would-be robbers.”

  “I don’t miss what I aim at. They came here to do me harm and rob me, and all you can say, is they’re “would be” robbers?”

  “Well, there hasn't been a trial yet, so how do we know they were guilty? Has the court spoken? Without the court, saying one way or the other, you’re a murderer and I for one am going to be happy seeing you go to jail.”

  “I think it’s time for you to leave my store.”

  “Mr. Lewis, no problem, we have all we need, come on crew, we’re leaving.”

  Within 36 hours, there’s a run on crossbows and hunting knives. The Governor of Illinois goes on national TV to say he’s going to ask the state AG to press charges against Mr. Lewis for murder two; he killed those two poor misguided children in cold blood.

  At breakfast, the next morning, twenty members of the Chicago and Naperville SWAT squads break into Mr. Lewis’ home, arresting him for murder while tearing apart his home looking for any outlawed weapons. Much of his furniture is destroyed. Lacking the funds to pay his lawyer, the state appoints one, who starts the discussion with his client by saying he’s disgusted with the actions of his client. Mr. Lewis decides he’s going to represent himself. He files papers to have his case dropped since he fired a legal weapon in self-defense.

  General Brownstone is in the bunker under the Greenbrier Hotel when his aide Colonel Redhorse knocks, “General, have you watched the latest news? It appears the economic inflation is verged on the tipping point of falling over the cliff becoming hyperinflation. The Federal Agencies are running out of money; the President tried to get the Federal Reserve to put billions of money in the agencies accounts. The Fed Chairperson refused; she turned him down. He tried to fire her; she told him she had three more years to go on her contract.”

  “That’s a good one, the Fed refusing to print money,”

  “Sir, people are very unhappy; Congress is still stalled, and many want to know if you’ll lead a protest march on DC in three weeks?”

  “What are we protesting this time?”

  “The President’s policies of course. Many are unhappier today than they were three months ago. Inflation is tearing every family budget apart; even with the price controls, prices are rising every day because people have to shop for household items on the black market or on ebay where there aren’t any price controls. A four-roll package of toilet paper is going for $25.00 on ebay. Even with wages starting at $20/hour inflation, union dues and insurance costs, most people have less disposable income than they did when they lived on welfare.”

  “What’s the update from Admiral Zander?”

  “He’s still hiding under the Pentagon; US Marshals have made fourteen attempts to search the Pentagon, so far they haven’t found anything, plus they’ve upset everyone working at the Puzzle Palace. He’s still commanding the Navy. They’ve stopped eight foreign submarines trying to reach our ports. They’ve also intercepted an Iranian fleet of five ships; the Iranians were foolish enough to go against the USS Bush battle group, it was a very short battle. Nothing the Iranians launched got within four miles of the Bush’s group. The Iranians then stumbled into a live fire exercise of precision weapons that mysteriously hit them. It must have been a horrible accident. I’m sure it was a tragic mistake, not one Iranian ship survived. I’m sure the Iranian government will understand their ships just wandered into the middle of one of our live fires. We understand the President is livid with the sinking of the Iranian ships.”

  “Good, I like it when he’s livid; it usually pushes him over the edge. He doesn’t control his temper very well.”

  “General, what’s next?”

  “We need the people to get upset and worked up, so they support our efforts. Research says they're almost at that point, just a little more pushing from the Feds, and many are going to blow. They’ll support anyone who’ll push back against the President. Many want their old lives back.”

  “Colonel, we’re not going to push back against the President, we’re going to crush him and his socialist administration. We’re going to give the people back their freedoms. Freedoms they’ve so easily sold for thirty pieces of silver.”

  “General, how do we know they’ll support us when it turns bloody?”

  “Look at how quickly they gave up their freedoms in exchange for a pocket of coins that ended up putting them a worse situation than they were before. I’m hoping a few have learned a lesson. We’ll never win everyone over; all we need, is a few. Even a few will give us the support we’re going to need. The administration always jumps to give the people “bread and circuses” vs. what they really need. In the 1960s, the government launched the war on poverty; they should have provided jobs, and instead they provided a safety net which evolved into a blanket which wrapped itself around the poor, providing them with some degree of security in exchange for their pride and self-worth. The government’s programs provided incentives that destroyed the core of our society. The anti-poverty program encouraged people to have kids outside of marriage; the programs provided incentives not to marry, not to complete sc
hool and not to work. After fifty years, we learned that the key to getting out of poverty is to get married before having kids, finish high school and get a job, everything we discouraged for fifty years. During the same fifty years, we dumbed down our education system; people became dependent on sound-bites for their news. People lost their patience to learn the details; they based everything on 10-30 second sound bites. The media edited the sound bites to push their agenda. In order to break the existing model, we’re going to have to undo fifty years of policies and brainwashing. Even if we win and can either force the administration to change their direction or we replace the administration, there’s going to be a lot of pain for years to come. We can’t fool ourselves into thinking we’ve won if we get the administration to change their programs. Most of the people have no idea how to make a real educated decision. They’re too used to having most of their decisions made for them. Don’t kid yourself; the war to save America is going to be more painful for the average American after the government change then the war to change the government is going to be,”

  “Intermission—A short overview on what's going on in the rest of the world”

  Countries around the world watched the events taking place in the United States with horror. If these things could happen in America, what’s going to happen in their country? Another fear most countries shared is what impact the American internal crisis will have on the American dollar which is the world’s currency. Many countries may dislike or even hate America; many see Americans as “the ugly American” however the ugly American becomes very pretty when they have a handful of dollars. Many countries use the American dollar as their currency.

  China holds more than $5 trillion of America’s $18 trillion debt is very nervous; America is also China’s largest trading partner. With the USA internally focused, the Premier and Defense Minister think this is the perfect time to bring Taiwan back into the family. The American Navy has withdrawn the seventh fleet from the western Pacific to the mid-Pacific. The seventh fleet has 60 ships, 300 aircraft, and 40,000 personnel. The Defense Minister and the Premier meet over a fresh pot of tea,

  “Premier Tao, this is our time, the Americans are totally focused inside their borders, they have recalled their seventh fleet. Japan and South Korea are focused on the financial markets. If we strike quickly, Taiwan will be ours before anyone will be able to respond. By the time the Americans can turn their carrier battle group around, we’ll be drinking tea in the Taiwan Parliament building. Once we’re in control of Taiwan, Japan and America will have no choice but to acknowledge Taiwan was always ours. Japan won’t fight us without America, and America can’t get here in time. Sir, we may not get such a gift handed to us again. I can have our forces ready in five days.”

  “Minister, how will the attack go?”

  “Premier, we will launch thousands of short and medium range missiles to take out Taiwan’s air defense sites, communications hubs, defense locations, army and navy bases. We’ll use air bursts over their runways so we can use them to land troops and supplies. We’ll be able to overwhelm their defenses easily. As soon as the ballistic missiles land our air force will fire air-launched missiles. We’ll fire standoff missiles from 1,000 airplanes just out of their radar’s range. In total, we’ll hit the Taiwan military, communications, and infrastructure locations with over 5,000 missiles. Within ten minutes of the last warhead, exploding our paratroopers will be landing on their three major airports, once we control the airports, we’ll open an air bridge to fly in troops and heavy equipment. From the start to finish, operations should be over within 72 hours; we will crush them.”

  “Minister, you have my permission for the attack.”

  “Premier Tao, in five days, at 0200 hours.”

  “Go prepare, don’t allow the plans to slip into the American’s hands.”

  Iran watches the events taking place in America with joy; the ruling council agrees the time is right to attack the little Satan. The Great Satan, America has recalled their ships from the Persian Gulf; Iran will be able to block all of the oil transported through the Gulf and attack Israel without the Americans being close enough to provide Israel any help. The ruling council agrees to the date of their victory; the date they will launch an attack and wipe Israel off the map. When the attack is finished there won’t be any Jews left in the Middle East. The Iran military commander is told the following; “Commander Hassin, five days from today, you have our permission to launch your attack against Israel. We expect you to launch an overwhelming initial attack using over 1,500 long-range missiles. Strike them hard. You have Allah’s blessing to use six of our special weapons. Use them well. We only have ten of the weapons available. We want to hold a few back in case a follow-up attack is required. If the Great Satan sends any of their cursed aircraft carriers towards the Gulf, you have permission to use one, and only one of the special weapons to totally destroy one of their cursed ships. We’ll teach them to bend to Allah’s will. Go and prepare your troops, in five days Allah will smile on us for doing his will.”

  The black run South African government is intent on taking their revenge on the remaining white population. The government decides with America occupied over internal issues; they have no one to fear, they plan to attack the remaining white population in five days. They plan to absorb all of the white-owned property and assets after wiping out the remaining whites still in South Africa.

  The Pakistani Prime Minister calls his cabinet together to vote on the date they will strike India, their long time enemy. The Prime Minister tells his cabinet that China is supporting them; the Prime Minister has been assured of support from the Commander of the Eastern China military zone, a promise that wasn’t shared with Beijing. The commanding general told the Pakistani Prime Minister he’ll support the Pakistani attack on India, however he plans to sit back and watch both countries pound each other so that he can move his one million troops and armor in, thus taking control of both countries without major causalities. The general thinks if he can deliver both India and Pakistan to Beijing he’ll be promoted to Defense Minister. He tells the Pakistanis to attack in five days. Which is the same day China plans on attacking Taiwan. Even if America wanted to respond, they lack the resources to have forces in both locations at the same time. In one bold sweep, China will increase in size, and resources. The Pakistani military quietly prepares for a nuclear first strike on India.

  Watching the Americans getting ready to consume themselves; the Quebec Premier decides the time is right to secede from Canada. The Premier tells his staff to prepare for a national announcement in five days at 8AM. He plans to catch everyone by surprise just before the market opens. He orders his staff to start shorting the Canadian stock market. He assumes the market will crash when he makes his announcement, if he’s correct; Quebec will have earned sufficient currency to enable them to reduce taxes and pay for any of the conversion costs when they split off from Canada.

  The Swiss Parliament meets to discuss stopping all immigration, with the exception of those with special skills. Switzerland has escaped most of the worldwide recession; to ensure their economy grows they need to lower the amount of benefits the government pays out. One way to ensure the amounts decrease is to close the country’s borders and remove as many illegal’s as possible. The Parliament agrees to close the borders and start deportations in five days.

  Monday June 9 dawns as a day none will forget. In America, people remember where they were when JFK was shot, or where they were when the towers in NYC were struck. Today millions will remember where they were when they heard that the world went crazy, thousands of missiles fall on Taiwan, Israel, and India. Those falling on Taiwan are all conventional, Israel and India are not so fortunate. Tel Aviv is hit with four nuclear warheads, each in the 20KT range. The Israeli anti-missile systems brought down hundreds of missiles; ho
wever, Israel is almost out of interceptor missiles. When the four nuclear missiles explode over Tel Aviv, Israel counterattacks, not just at Iran, but also Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Israeli long-range missiles and aircraft attack their enemies in the Middle East with 100 nuclear weapons. When the dust settles hundreds of millions are dead or wishing, they were. Israel lost one city the remainder of the Middle East will never recover.

  Arabs all over Europe riot in protest of the Israeli attack. Paris and London are burning out of control. The riots are put down in Germany by use of force; tens of thousands are killed as they attempt to force their way into Berlin. England and France watch their major cities torn apart and set on fire.

  Taiwan wakes to thousands of missiles falling all over the island. Telephone and power are cut over the island. The airports are captured by paratroopers. The small but capable Taiwanese Navy and Air Force are destroyed before they can take revenge. When most citizens would normally be getting up for work, Taiwan is all but under China’s control. The attack went off better than any of the senior Chinese officers expected. The Chinese Eastern defense zone moves tens of thousands of troops to China’s border with India; the general does this to keep India focused on the border and not focus on the upcoming Pakistani attack.

  India wakes to the flash of lights brighter than the sun and blast waves signaling the end of Delhi and Mumbai. Millions flash out of existence. The Indian military responds by sending 200 nuclear warheads into Pakistan, destroying every city in the country. The two conventional forces clash at their long border. The two armies fight hand to hand when they use up their stored ammo and fuel.

  China being focused on her east and western borders misses the clues that her people want more freedom. The message spreads over social media networks and text messages that this is a good time for the Chinese people to push for more freedom. Over a hundred thousand jam Tiananmen Square demanding more freedom. This time there won’t be one man standing in front of a tank, there’s a hundred thousand standing in the square. The people of Beijing are fed up with air they can’t breathe, forced to work as slaves in factories without hope, building products most could never afford to buy. Many are still fighting the one child rule. When the government announced, a loosening of the one child rule, the only ones who could apply for a second child are the elite. China is facing a war to dominate Taiwan and also an internal freedom revolution.
