“Yes we do have a comment. Jack South was, illegally detained in Israel on a technicality. Our government and the Israeli Government knew he was traveling to Israel and his Attorney, Mark Anderson, handled the pre-notifications to the State Department. Due to the security concerns for Mr. South, it was felt that going through the normal process of leaving one country and going to another would not be in his or anyone’s best interest. Unfortunately, someone in Israel’s Secret Service, also known as Mossad, overstepped his or her bounds on a tip from an unidentified source. The President, as he would for any citizen detained for no reason, made a call to the Israeli Prime Minister and they were able to secure the release of Jack. As best we know, he is now en route back to the United States.”
“Regarding the issue of allowing Israel to purchase the new bombers, we are and have been in negotiations with Israel over the purchase of the planes. I do realize that many in congress and other world leaders are concerned about the U.S. providing them to Israel due to their ability to be, armed with nuclear weapons. So here is you answer, yes it is still being, negotiated, and as we all know, the President has always been in favor of letting Israel have them. But to date, nothing has been sent to them.”
“Are you saying then that The Network Anchor, Brad Williams, is lying?” Sanchez asked.
“No, but maybe he is misinformed. “ Now, who is next?” He saw Julie and said, “Julie do you have a question?”
“Yes Chris, thank you. Julie Bernstein, New York Times. You have been in session here at Camp David all day. Do you have any updates of what you are discussing? There are rumors that the President is considering martial law. The other rumor is prior to the hurricanes, hitting the U.S. mainland, FEMA camps will be, opened and people will be, forced to leave the affected areas and go to these camps. Any truth, to this?”
“First of all Julie, this self proclaimed witness as he calls himself, and we know as Jack, has said this will happen, However, it has not yet happened and we are not one hundred percent sure that it will. You have to understand that we are in unchartered territory here and we do not have answers as to if he can predict anything for sure. However, in light of the rains in North Africa starting,” he said, “which has added up to Jack still being one hundred percent correct, we are taking precautionary measures. We are doing some planning in the event he is right on the hurricanes. From listening to the constant media reports on TV and other news outlets, you folks have done the calculation of the scenario we would face. Therefore if we feel these disasters are imminent then yes we do need a plan that will work.”
“To expand on this Julie, the affected areas, if it occurs, will affect up to thirty million people, not counting homes, property, businesses, and even national landmarks. Category four and five hurricanes are destructive and will in fact level certain areas and make some of them uninhabitable for a period, of time. You know as well as I do that the government has several avenues open to ensure the safety of the public. Some of those rules and regulations have been on the books for over thirty years and yes some were updated in the past ten years after 911.”
“But, are we planning on putting people in these camps today? No, we are not. Is it a possibility? Yes it is. We may need to mobilize a lot of material, personnel, and resources in the event Jack is right and provide as best as we can for the welfare of our citizens. I am sure you know the ramifications, but we do not want to start a panic when there is no reason to. We will react, as each situation deems necessary and decide what to do from that point. I hope this helps and Thank you Julie.
Now, Dennis Crawford?”
“Thanks Chris. Dennis Crawford, Washington News, District of Columbia. I have heard rumors that the U.S. government is going to Cheyenne Mountain next week. Is there any truth to this?”
“Yes Dennis. The storms have already started in North Africa and the Middle East, which we think will feed the tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. Therefore, Jack is right again. Yes, we will move the government to Cheyenne Mountain. As you well know, it was, built in the event of a nuclear strike. Of course, that is not on the agenda, but the facility will allow us, while Washington is shut down, if necessary to maintain the integrity of leadership for the country during this crisis.”
“Doesn’t that require martial law to be implemented Chris,” he asked, “Or as I understood it from scenarios that are public knowledge this would be the protocol in the event the government felt it had to take shelter?”
“No it does not. Moving the government’s headquarters to another location does not automatically invoke Article Nine or any of the numerous other executive orders that can be implemented if necessary.”
“Thanks Chris.”
“Okay, one more. Paul Wiegan.”
“Thank you Chris. Paul Wiegan, The Network News, New York”
“It is my understanding this afternoon the President sent to the Justice Department a brief that would in effect put the entire United States and its territories under martial law until further notice. Is that true?”
Chris thought to himself, how the hell, did they found that out? “Paul, do you want to expand your question?”
“Okay Chris. We have it on good authority that this afternoon the President sent a three hundred page document to the Justice Department, which we do not have a copy of, which relates to the constitutional question of martial law and its implementation. We do know that document was, delivered. What we do not know is what it says.”
We got a leak here, Chris thought. He was not sure whether to lie or let it be. He mulled over the question in his mind and wished the President was there, but it was his job to deal with it so he needed to come up with an answer. “Paul, we are possibly going into a crisis mode here in our country. There is a possibility that we may need to put martial law into effect to keep order and protect the sovereignty of the United States. However, in keeping with the concerns of the rights of people, a draft of such an order was sent to the Justice Department for full review and consideration.”
“In other words,” Paul said, “that is what you are planning to do?”
“Maybe.”
Chris picked up his notes and started for the side door. He could hear the questions from all over and some of them were getting nasty. He held his head up walked to the door, opened it, and shut it behind him. He leaned up against the wall, straightened his neck, and said silently to himself, God help us all. We have a major leak. He shook his head to shake off his feeling of uneasiness, and walked down the hall.

8:45 PM CST Day two of 1260 Kansas City, Missouri - International Airport
Aafre’s plane had landed at KCI about the same time as the press conference started from Camp David, so they had remained on the tarmac and tuned in using the communications room to watch it. Aafre was quite pleased. Everything was coming down exactly as he had planned. Amazing how the free press in America would tear down their leadership in a heartbeat, even based on rumors.
Aafre and his resources had made the President as he had made all the presidents in the past few decades. He made a choice on who would lead the U.S., They put their resources behind him, and he was, elected. It took money and it took people willing to do as they were, told. They are more like sheep, but not much different. Clawing your way up a corporate ladder then finding out even at the top, you still had someone else to answer too. It also required that they not be pure of heart. Chivalry itself was, long dead of course, and would never return.
In the meeting Monday he had told the members that under no circumstances was Jack to be harassed. However, that did not apply to him. He had to have Jack harassed in order to get the document from him. The Attorney General’s death was going to be of use at the session on Friday. Ken Giles became an example of what happens when one does not follow the rules. The other great thing about the Ken Giles murder is that he had the tapes of the conversation between Stevenson and Giles just prior to him leaving Camp David. The threat would
not bode well if the press got a hold of the information for Stevenson. He might even be, accused of killing him. Conspiracy theorists are always good about going down that avenue.
Jamal was a good man. He was loyal, very loyal. He would have to take care of him some way to show his appreciation. The tapes would be kept and put away for now and used only if Stevenson got out of control. Then he would use them as needed, but for now things were, fine. He also wanted to keep Jamal in the White House for Stevenson would know who had taped the conversation, and he needed to know the President’s plans. Just like in the press conference, Jamal had come through on the brief sent to Justice. He even had a copy. It was so easy to feed it to a newsperson. They bite and bite hard.
What Stevenson did not know was that the United States had to be, neutralized in order for the final plan to work. Aafre’s Master knew it and Jack’s God knew it. The overall plan was the revival of the Roman Empire, which could only happen in Europe. America, at least as of yesterday, was the world’s super power. This had to change. It had to change quickly so that Aafre and his Master’s plan could come to fruition.
That meant that he needed to back Stevenson into a corner, let this witness or witnesses destroy the infrastructure of the States, and the U.S. give up their sovereignty. The reason he needed the sovereignty of the U.S. was to control the vast military complex they had built since World War II. No sense in wasting all this firepower no sense at all.
His Master had told him also that the United States was, being punished by God, but they would only be the first. It would continue from country to country. However, the Europeans would, not be dealt very many blows in this first round of approximately three and a half years. After that, the real battle begins. Jack’s people wanted conversion to their God, acknowledgement that He exists, and get people to convert to Christianity. Well that was fine, for when they left, the real Master of earth would take over and put an end to the insanity humans have been living with for over five-thousand years.
Just a matter of time thought Aafre, just a matter of time.

7:45 PM CST Day two of 1260 Kansas City, Missouri - Liberty Memorial, Anchor Desk
Bear News had to break away from the Special they were airing in Kansas City and go live to Camp David for the press conference. The producers had decided to finish the special tomorrow night at the same time slot and concentrate on the press conference and the death of the Attorney General.
“John,” Donald his producer said, “We are going live in thirty, that means thirty seconds.” I turned back to get in position behind the makeshift news desk on the stage in Kansas City, I adjusted my papers and stared at the camera operator and the digital counter, five, four, three, two, one.
“Hello America and the world, John Roddenburg again broadcasting from Kansas City, Missouri, here at the Liberty Memorial Park. As many of you already know, there have been several breaking news stories in Washington, including a hurried news conference from Camp David. I am sure that all of you can see that there are many things occurring in the world and we are going to bring you up to date.
“First off, for those of you who were watching our news special on Jack South and his predictions, rest assured we will air that in its entirety tomorrow evening. However, in the meantime we need to cover all the breaking news as it happens and keep you informed.”
“I want to remind all of you that it is around 1:45, Wednesday morning in Africa, and it has been raining there since yesterday. Our meteorologist, Chester Nichols, is here with updates on Jack’s prediction of constant rain in that area for thirty days. Chester?”
“Thanks John, I have a map here of the area with a satellite photo superimposed over it, that was taken about an hour ago. You can see from the photo that the entire area is, covered in storm clouds. If you will notice, the darker areas of these clouds are called super cells, which are the most dangerous thunderstorms we know. The entire area is, covered with these from Turkey to the Western Coast of Northern Africa. It appears that sustained northeast winds are blowing up moisture off the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. The Gulf and cooler air from Asia is meeting the moist air from the south. In effect, it is raining and it is raining very hard. In some areas, it has been raining as much as 2-3 inches per hour. It appears, unless the winds die down, this will continue for some time.”
“Chester, do you think it will last for thirty days as Jack said?”
“I don’t see that it would rain this hard for thirty days, but it could rain steadily as long as the conditions as I described continue. As long as that is occurring, then yes it will continue to rain.”
“Are there other events like lightning or hail that usually accompany super cells?”
“Yes, and I am glad you asked John. I have another map here that shows the lightning strikes in the area and as you can see from the map, they are everywhere. We do not have reports yet from the area about hail or possible severe wind issues. But given the circumstances you can be assured that most likely this will soon happen.”
“Thanks Chester. Now to other news for today.”
“As many of you know, in the press conference a few moments ago, Press Secretary, Christopher Hughes raised the possibility of martial law being implemented nationwide in the coming few days. As of now, all personal rights, are currently, suspended in Southern California in an attempt to stabilize the area. To help us understand the implications of such an order, we have with us, via a communications link at Harvard University, Dan Simmons of Harvard University Law Department. Dan is the Dean of the Law School there.”
Thank you, Dan for being with us on such short notice. Can you explain to our viewers what was really said this evening at Camp David?”
“It is really quite simple John. In the event of any of the situations like Jack South has foretold, the Federal Government can, with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the military, and other high-ranking federal officials put into affect martial law and take over the country. This suspends the constitution and the people’s rights. The symptoms to do so are very broad and they fall into the category of civil support, homeland defense, and any civil support activities. This law, by the way, was, enacted in January of 2010 by executive order number 13528 and was, considered by the courts as constitutional based on Article 9. Keep in mind, the broad statement in Article 9 of the Constitution states, ‘The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion of the public safety may require it.’ In our situation, considering if Jack South is right, then the Federal Government can argue that with more than twenty-five million people at risk, in transit and possibly homeless, it would take little if no effort for the Justice Department to put a stamp of approval on such a move.”
“Dan, say if they do implement martial law temporarily, how is it rescinded or can we do anything about it if they decide to keep it in place?”
If certain groups wanted, it lifted and the government did not. This issue would go through the courts, most likely the Supreme Court. However, most likely the catastrophe would probably be over by the time it ever got to court, as was stated in the California situation earlier this week. Also, realize that the President’s spokesperson said the document was, sent to the Justice Department for review. If the court puts their stamp of approval on the request then it would literally take years to be, rescinded through the courts. That is of course if the government chooses to keep it in place. Right now what they are doing is crossing their ‘T’s and dotting their ‘I’s.”
“So what does it mean to have marital law?”
“Simple, you have no rights any longer and you do as the government or their agencies tell you, or face imprisonment. This, for your information, also suspends elections of all government officials including cities, states, and federal elections. So any elections scheduled would be cancelled till the order is rescinded.”
“Thank you Dan for your expert
input.” John turned again facing the camera and said, “That was Dan Simmons Dean of the Law Department at Harvard University. There it is viewers. It appears that all our rights will be in limbo for some time if the events as described by Mr. South do occur. And, with Chester, our meteorologist showing us the rain is falling as predicted in Northern Africa, then we may well assume Jack South, as he has been in the past, is still one-hundred percent correct. This means the ever looming threat of the hurricanes seems almost inevitable at this time.”
“In some other related news,” as John looked down at his notes, “The Chinese Government has verified that the South organization has requested permits for its people to hold rallies in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. There was no comment on whether or not it has been, approved; only that it has been, applied for by the South people. We also have statements from the governments of Mexico, Canada, and most of the South American countries, which are confirming the requests for visas and permits for a rally in their major population areas as well. The only agreement so far appears to be Mexico City, which according to sources issued the permits and visas. No word on any other countries in Europe, India, the countries of Africa, the Middle East, or the Russians.”
“We need to break for a commercial. We will be right back.”

6:00 AM CEST Wednesday June 3rd Cairo, Egypt - Egyptian Palace
The Egyptian President, Mohamed Basarick was staring out the window of his office watching the rains. His country was in the areas, outlined by the American, claimed Witness of God, Jack South. His concerns were the Nile flooding and the dam. It would cause havoc on their systems and infrastructure. He had enough trouble keeping the country functioning in any situation, and this would definitely be a major setback. The Nile flooded every year, but this prediction could mean disaster to his country.
