ABOUT THE BOSTON BRAHMIN SERIES
And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.
Works of fiction are frequently based on historical fact. In the case of book one of The Boston Brahmin series, The Loyal Nine, and the entire upcoming Boston Brahmin series, history repeats itself. The Loyal Nine takes its name from nine patriotic Bostonians who chose freedom over the tyrannical rule of Great Britain. As the British exerted more control over the colonists, especially in the form of taxes, anger and resentment rose to a crescendo, resulting in the War for Independence.
Author Bobby Akart has observed similar acts of rage and discontent in America today. Sadly, many of us perceive an America which is in decline socially and economically. There are many perspectives and theories all across the political spectrum on how to save her. Methods may differ, but does it matter if the ultimate goal was achieved?
The Boston Brahmin series takes the reader on a journey based on historical fact—both in its char
acter development and the events that take place during the timeline of the series. The Boston Brahmin series is about the societal and economic collapse of America. This type of collapse event is gradual and not sudden. The events portrayed in the series will rise to a crescendo, forcing the characters to make a decision—choose tyranny or freedom. They will be challenged physically and emotionally. As always, nothing is what it seems.
As the country slowly descends into economic and social despair, America is one bad news story away from collapse. In Cyber Attack, book two of The Boston Brahmin series, the reader is taken through a very realistic scenario that would bring America to its knees.
Writing a series of this magnitude takes a considerable amount of time and research. It also asks the reader to become invested in the journey of the characters. Creating a book series about societal and economic collapse is a marathon, not a sprint. Read with us. Learn with us. Get involved in the backstory and details of the novels by frequently visiting our fan-dedicated website www.TheBostonBrahmin.com. We encourage you to interact with us on social media. We truly enjoy conversing with our fans—all of whom we consider friends.
If you have not had the opportunity, please read Seeds of Liberty, a #1 bestseller in the Politics, Social Sciences, and Modern History categories. Seeds of Liberty is a companion nonfiction guide to The Boston Brahmin series, which provides both a sociological analysis and a complete historical perspective of America’s penchant for rebellion.
We hope you enjoy this epic, history-rich thriller series. A storyline torn from the headlines, The Boston Brahmin series presents a nation plunged into chaos by enemies foreign and domestic. Only the Loyal Nine, a patriotic group of descendants of our Founding Fathers, can navigate the collapse and restore the American republic.

INTRODUCTION
FALSE FLAGS THROUGHOUT HISTORY by Freedom Preppers
false flag (‘fols ‘flag): An operation designed to deceive in such a way that events appear as though they are being carried out by perpetrators other than those who actually planned and executed them. A false flag is used as an ideological weapon to control the citizenry with the fear of a manufactured enemy.
Governments and military operations have used false flag events throughout history. They have been used to persecute a political enemy, or to enact laws in the name of security. Some governments unabashedly admit their use of the false flag concept.
Originally, the term had its origins in naval warfare as a ruse de guerre, literally translated as a ruse of war. This can be considered a military deception against one’s opponent, as well as other more creative, sometimes unorthodox means, involving clever and misleading propaganda.
False flags have occurred for thousands of years. In ancient times, there is the mythical use of the Trojan Horse that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy. The legends of false flags date back to days of Hannibal and Alexander the Great.
Then there is the most famous use of a false flag in the case of the British ocean liner, the RMS Lusitania.
For eight years, the Lusitania was the largest passenger ship in the world. When the Lusitania left New York for Liverpool, England on May 1, 1915, she was making her final voyage.
After World War One broke out in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson maintained America’s neutrality which was favored by a majority of the American people. At the time, Britain was one of our largest trading partners. During this timeframe, tensions arose between the U.S. and Germany over Berlin’s attempted quarantine of the British Isles. As American ships traveled to Britain, they became imperiled by the throes of war. Eventually, several U.S. flagged vessels were either damaged, or sunk, by German mines. Ultimately, by the spring of 1915, Germany openly announced unrestricted submarine warfare in the region.
The American media published warnings issued by the German government that Americans traveling on British or Allied ships in war zones did so at their own risk. One such announcement was placed on the same page of the New York Times that contained an advertisement for the Lusitania’s voyage from New York back to Liverpool.
As the Lusitania departed New York’s port, Germany had not formally declared the area around the British Isles a war zone. That did not occur until several days later. The Lusitania sailed without knowledge of the dangers ahead.
The Lusitania also traveled with an interesting passenger and unusual cargo. Woodrow Wilson’s trusted advisor, Colonel Edward Mandell House, was aboard. He was dispatched on a secret mission to investigate the prospects of an American-brokered peace before the casualties in the War became too high. The ship was also stockpiled with one hundred and seventy-three tons of American-made war munitions destined for England in violation of several international treaties.
Crossing the Atlantic had been rough, but as the Lusitania approached Ireland, Captain Daniel Dow raised the American flag atop the otherwise British-commissioned ship. The night before, the Captain was concerned about being torpedoed. He hoped for safe passage through the German occupied waters off the coast. Out of an abundance of caution, he lowered the Union Jack and raised the Stars and Stripes.
On May 7, as the Lusitania approached England, the thirty-two thousand ton ship was hit by an exploding torpedo on its starboard side. The torpedo blast was followed by a second, larger explosion, which included the ship’s boilers. Chaos ensued. The ship listed so badly that the lifeboats crashed into the passengers on deck. Reportedly, within eighteen minutes, the Lusitania quickly sank off the southern coast of Ireland. The death toll was nearly two thousand passengers, including over one hundred Americans.
The sinking of the Lusitania by the German U–boat played a pivotal role in geopolitical affairs. The sinking enraged Americans. The political fallout was immediate as President Wilson protested the attack. Months later, Germany gave assurances that passenger ships would be sunk only with prior warnings and appropriate safeguards for passengers. However, the seeds of discontent had been sown, and within two years, America entered World War One.
Throughout history, these types of events have played a pivotal role in influencing public opinion. I encourage you to review the Appendix, found by clicking the link below. In the Appendix, you will find a list of fifty false flag events carried out by civilian organizations as well as covert, governmental agencies. After you’ve read the list, you will be returned to Chapter One of False Flag, as The Boston Brahmin series continues.

265 First Street
Cambridge, Massachusetts
COGAS, combined gas and steam, permeated the nearly thirty-mile labyrinth of steel pipeline under the streets of Boston’s government facilities, hospitals, businesses, and residential neighborhoods. The Kendall Cogeneration Station, located on the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge, was billed as a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative following the closure announcement of the Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station.
Cogeneration is the process of combining steam heat with power by recycling waste heat and converting it into stored thermal energy. It was hailed as an environmentally friendly method of energy production that improved air quality and reduced carbon emissions. One official, who praised the project as being consistent with the President’s desire to protect the environment, also proclaimed Kendall Station as the beating heart and arteries of the city’s power generating system.
The nearly sixty-year-old Kendall Station was retrofitted with industrial jet engines, which utilized more than one million gallons of fuel oil stored at their facility across the Charles River from Massachusetts General Hospital. The French company that designed the system proudly proclaimed that the Kendall Station was positioned to jump-start the electrical grid following a blackout.
City officials pressured the company to bring the plant back online. After all, the plant was designed to function following a blackout just like this one. In the early morning hours of day five, after much of America was thrust into darkness, the Boston-based electrical engineering team at Kendall Station believed they had a solution that would refire the jet engines, immediately allowing the plant to produce two hundred fifty-six megawatts of electricity and one million two hundred thousand pounds per hour of steam. Relying upon satellite phone guidance from the expert troubleshooting team based in France, they initiated the necessary steps to return power to Cambridge and much of Boston.
