The Gentile Witness Book II Elijah

by Samuel David

  Brad then turned from the monitor and looked back into the camera, “Well, there you have it. Finally, we have an explanation and the truth about these Witnesses and their madness. What appears to be happening here is that Enoch and Elijah are just good magicians and have put together a plan to cause havoc on the earth and scare people out of their wits. Why, we do not know; but I would expect that our government would start an investigation immediately and bring this to a halt.”

  Letting that sink in for a moment, Brad continued, “Speaking of Enoch, the State Lotto from which he claimed his prize has stated that they are looking into possible fraud charges regarding his lottery winnings. It appears that Enoch, as he is called now, may well come under scrutiny by several of the Attorney Generals Offices of these states, per our sources. What they are saying is that it appears Enoch or Jack South may have been able to manipulate the numbers after all. According to unnamed sources at lottery headquarters, the authorities are looking into the allegations and there may well be enough for a Grand Jury indictment. Would not surprise me if they had somehow fixed the lottery, for they seem to be able to manipulate and fool a lot of people.”

  “In other news, the Waldger Group is having its meetings starting today, in Kansas City. We will have the exclusive coverage of their proceedings here on The Network, and will be having live interviews with the participants later today. Please stay tuned in, for only the Network will be broadcasting live from the meetings.”

  “Later in the news, we will be going to Houston, Texas, where they are preparing for Hurricane Alex, which is expected to strike there on Monday. In addition, later in the show, we have other guests, one who is a well-known biblical scholar and author of end time books. He has said that the Witnesses are false prophets and tell lies and their so-called power only comes from the devil. As he said, and will explain later in the broadcast, the rapture has not occurred and nothing can happen until then. We will have even more in-depth analysis of the fraud being exercised by these two so called Witnesses, as the broadcast continues.”

  “Other news we will be covering today are that the overseas markets took heavy losses last night, especially in banking, insurance stocks, and commodity markets. Oil futures have skyrocketed due to the knowledge that many US refineries will be shut down indefinitely due to the hurricanes. There are also concerns over reduced output in the Middle East due to the rains. US Treasury Notes are being dumped in overseas markets. Some said that overnight, investors are considering US Treasury notes as junk. In Japan, on the Nikkei and China Securities Finance Corporation stock markets, almost all American stocks lost nearly thirty percent or more of their value. It now appears that China and other Asian countries are pulling out of American Capital Markets. As you all know the New York Stock Exchange is closed till Monday and so are CBOT in Chicago and the Pacific Exchange in Los Angeles.”

  “We will be right back.”

  6:30 AM Friday Kansas City, Missouri – Bears News Affiliate Studios

  Don and John were watching their competitor’s network, as was the custom at their Bear News affiliate studios, in Kansas City. Brad Williams was back to his old tricks of lying between his teeth. Evidently, the Waldger Group wanted to discredit the sermon last night by calling Elijah and Enoch frauds. John wondered how much they had to pay the guest from Las Vegas to make his statements and setup the fake walking in the air scenario.

  “John, that was a lot of crap that came from them this morning,” Don said, interrupting his thoughts. “I can’t believe they went to this extreme, and then to put the Yale professor on. The fact is we cannot predict earthquakes, period. What this professor said was a pure lie. We are trying, but to date, according to the US Geological Society, we may have an idea where earthquakes may occur but not when, and not to the exact magnitude and time of the quake, exactly to the second as Jack predicted. This is not counting the death and injury toll he predicted, correctly.”

  “I agree. I really don’t know how they convinced the professor from Yale, one of our leading educational institutions, to lie. The BS he talked about on weather patterns are from thousands of years ago and even that data is suspect. I guess we should have known that the disinformation process would start soon.”

  John thought about the lies as usual from the Network, then looked over at Donald and said, “I noticed that they are doing the exclusive coverage of the Waldger Group meetings today. First off, the Waldger Group has never invited anyone from the press or news media to their meetings. They are usually kept secret, very secret. Strange, this is so very strange.”

  “With this being a first and everyone’s curiosity about the Group, I assume their ratings will probably start going up tomorrow,” Don said, “This will especially be the case if The Network has some more juicy information from Waldger that the public would like to hear about the Witnesses and their so called fraud.”

  “I don’t know, Don. All I can say is that we will stand by what we saw and what we know. It will be up to the viewers to decide who is right and who is wrong…but I wanted to ask you another question about something that is bothering me and I need to get with our legal department, I suppose.”

  “Sure, what’s the question you have?”

  “The question I have is if they do declare martial law here in the U.S., can they censor the media?”

  “I don’t know, John. I have never thought about it. This is America and freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution.” Don paused, thinking about this statement then asked, “But why do you have a concern all of a sudden?”

  “Well, I am concerned because I think they can and there is a rumor going around that, like in California, where they are currently under martial law, when the hurricanes hit they well may declare martial law in those areas also. That would include all the states along the entire Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf. Now I was thinking that since we already know The Network is the government’s darling, they would naturally be the one to handle the emergency broadcast rules that can be put into effect by the stroke of a pen. That would put a muffler on us and other broadcasters for some time. Moreover, if that is the case, I am not sure what that will mean for us. You and I both know we are the people’s sounding board and definitely not in the government’s best graces most of the time.”

  “I suggest you do as you know you should do. Call legal at Corporate. It can’t hurt.”

  “I think I will do that after the morning broadcast. In the meantime, I need to get on the air here soon with the day’s news. I am sure people want to know our take on last night unlike Brad’s lies. We have Elijah and Enoch’s interview, the rain in Northern Africa, hurricanes, refugee status in California, and finally what Enoch and Elijah are doing…especially what they are doing!”

  John turned to walk towards the broadcast booth, stopped, then turned around to face Don, “One other item Don that’s on my mind; have we been able to get any coverage from any of the temporary refugee camps in California?”

  “No, they are not letting anyone in at all. There are some rumors of shortages and less than favorable conditions, but no confirmation. They are literally stopping all reporters at the gates. Bear, like everyone else, has a crew outside Twenty-Nine Palms, but they are just sitting there. We only have some footage of trucks and busses going in and out.”

  “What about The Network; are they in?”

  “No, they are not even there outside the gates! Last check, not one truck or one reporter was there, it’s like, how can I say it, they don’t want to cover it.”

  “Really, I guess if they are not there then for sure, the government is not going to let anyone in. Then they know there is probably a tight lid on this. Anyway, can we get one of our people in under cover like we did in Guantanamo during the time the 911 prisoners were being held there?”

  “Already in the works, John. As soon as I get some confirmations I will let you know. In the meantime, we have a lot to do and
we need to get ready, it is almost airtime and we need to begin discrediting Brad’s BS from his show this morning. I had the writers write up some summaries for you to help offset their garbage news.”

  A runner came across from the newsroom with a cell phone in hand calling out and waving to John to get his attention. John turned towards the runner and as he approached him asked, “What’s the rush?”

  “You have a very important call. I had it transferred to my cell because I think you may want to take this call.”

  “Who is it?”

  “Mark Anderson, Jack’s attorney. I mean Enoch.”

  John wondered why Mark would be calling so early. He took the phone and placed it to his ear, “Hello, Mark.”

  “Yes, it’s me, John; glad I was able to catch you before your morning broadcast. I have some news for you that you might use in regards to the lies and slander put forward by Brad Williams.”

  “What do you have?”

  “Well, first off, you know we were suing them for breach of contract and slander from Jack’s first interview. Well, after I heard their lies today, I got my assistants out of bed in Chicago and told them to finish the suit and add the recent slander. I also asked them to fax you the copies of statements from the Lottery officials that there was absolutely no problem with the payout or the drawing. You see, before Jack took the money, we thought that someone would start rumors like this, so we covered those bases up front.”

  “Great, Mark, and when will the suit be filed and how much?”

  “9:00 AM Central time in federal court in Chicago. We are suing The Network for two hundred and fifty million; Brad Williams for using the words fraud, liars, cheats, etcetera, five hundred million. But, hold on, John; that’s not the best part!”

  “Oh?”

  “You saw the part with the Yale Professor today, right?”

  “Yes, we did, and it seemed a lot of gobbledygook…no science there. Why do you ask?”

  “Well, I have some friends in the Science Department at Yale, and I called them from Enoch’s room. We had a talk, they agreed with me, and they said that first thing this morning, they will be calling a press conference and are censoring the doctor for putting the College at risk.”

  “Really?” John said, “That’s great news, but why are they doing that?”

  “You see, no one can predict earthquakes or hurricanes and they all know it. I rather put it in their minds that they were at risk of suit the next time there was an earthquake resulting in damage. They agreed with me and based on what the professor said, that the next earthquake that takes place, which Enoch does not predict would be on their doorstep. The basis for suit would be, ‘you said, on national TV, that you could predict earthquakes before they happen. Why didn’t you warn us?’ They do not want to be a part of the lies.”

  “So what time are they doing the press conference, Mark?”

  “9:00 AM Central Standard Time. They are not wasting any time.”

  “I will see if we can get a correspondent there by then to cover it live.”

  “Good idea, John. I asked my associate to fax me the document they will use in the press conference and you will get it first!”

  “Thanks, Mark, thanks ever so much. Now I know why Enoch hired you.”

  “Thanks for the compliment but I am not through. I also talked to Luke. You remember that his firm does all Jack’s setup, advertising, etc. Well, anyway, he is also sending out a statement that they did not put a platform in, as the magician in Vegas suggested. He is also contacting his attorneys to notify the magician they intend on filing a suit if they do not get a retraction from him and The Network. See, it will all work out now, and Brad will have egg all over his face.”

  John broke out in a big smile, for he liked nothing better than catching Brad in lies.

  “Thanks, Mark, I will go look for the fax and please send us a copy of the suit as well.”

  “Will do, John, will do,” Mark said before hanging up.

  John did a little jig then called Don over and said, “Guess what!”

  Chapter 22

  6:30 AM Friday, Kansas City, Missouri Center City – Enoch’s Suite

  Veronica, Mark, Reverend Marks, Luke, and Enoch were eating breakfast in Enoch’s room and had been watching the morning news. They decided to watch The Network instead of Bear News, for John Roddenburg’s broadcast show times were an hour later.

  They watched the magician from Vegas, his remarks, and his display of walking in thin air with intense interest. They all laughed at the comments made by the Professor, but Brad got their attention with the comment about the lottery issues.

  After seeing some of this, Mark excused himself, saying he needed to make a few calls immediately.

  They all sat and chatted while Mark was on the phone. After about a half hour, he was still on the phone. He called Luke over. He held the phone to his chest as they talked. Enoch overheard Luke say, “I agree…,” then Mark went back to the call.

  A few minutes later, he rejoined the others with a big smile on his face.

  “I just got off the phone with my team in Chicago and we will file the papers in Federal court today, plus we added the lies that Brad spread today to the suit. And I have some really good news.”

  He was excited, Enoch could tell. “I got hold of a friend of mine at Yale and he told me this professor Brad had on will be censored today by the college for making false statements and putting the college at risk. You see, if another earthquake were to occur, people could sue the college for not warning them about a quake coming, and since this professor said they could do it, they are at risk. See how simple it is to nail liars. Luke here is going to send a letter from his firm demanding a retraction. Being a part of fraud would ruin his business. I also called John Roddenburg and gave him the skinny on all of this. He will break the news in his broadcast this morning. That will put Mr. Brad Williams on the defensive!”

  “Great job, Mark,” Enoch said, “and you did all this while you were on the phone over there?”

  “Yep, just a few calls and presto; we have an instant Brad killer!” he said as he smiled from ear to ear.

  They all clapped and everyone told him what a great job he had done.

  Mark then said, “If you will excuse me then I will try and see if I can get a flight back today…I have a lot on my plate. I have a ticket back but it is not until tomorrow afternoon. It is going to be tough, for the airports are jammed here with people coming for the Waldger meeting and leaving after the sermon last night.”

  “Mark,” Veronica said, “You can take our private jet. We will not be using it for a few days. I will make the necessary arrangements for you.” Without waiting for an answer, Veronica then stood and walked over to use the telephone to arrange for Mark to return to Chicago.

  Thomas turned to Enoch, “Am I going to Mexico City to set up like here, Enoch?”

  “Yes, you will. I thought you knew that.”

  “Well, I assumed so, but no one really said anything definite.”

  “Well, you are it my friend. I assume your passport and other travel documents are in order?”

  “They are. I can leave as soon as you would like.”

  “As soon as you wish, work with Luke here. You did a great job here, Thomas. Now, any line on local flavor in Mexico like you did here in KC; some things like their music, choirs, and maybe Mariachi Bands?”

  “I am sure I can come up with something. As a matter of fact, if it is OK with you, I have a person I have used in the past when I needed cultural advice, from the Hispanic population in Chicago. Would it be OK if I offer him a temporary assignment with us?”

  “I don’t see a problem with that, Thomas. Just let Veronica know what you need for money and she will take care of it.”

  “Thanks, Enoch; we will make Mexico City even better than KC.”

  “I am sure you will, Thomas, I am sure you will.”

  Veronica hung up the p
hone and then came and stood by the other men. “They have to file a flight plan for you, Mark, but they think they can get you out of here around 11:00 or so. Is that alright?”

  “Yes, I can be ready by ten to leave for the airport. It’s only about twenty minutes away.

  He stood, wiping his hands on a napkin.

  “With that piece of information I must take my leave. I guess I will see all of you soon.”

  “Yes, you will,” Enoch replied. They all stood up to say goodbye. Veronica gave him some instructions regarding the plane, and which hangar to go to at MCI. Mark then said his final goodbyes and left.

  Right after the door closed behind Mark, Luke said, “Well, I must be going also. As I told Mark, I am going to sue The Network for lying about my company falsifying information over the issue of the platform. I need to contact my attorney. Mark said to pressure them to retract their statements.”

  “Was that the reason Mark called you over a while ago?” Veronica asked.

  “Yes, he quickly explained it to me and I told him I would help.”

  Luke then got up from his seat and said, “Enough chatting, I need to get going here for we need to make sure we get all of the necessary equipment trucked out of here. Then, maybe the people will believe it is over and let this city get back to some sense of normalcy. By the way, did you see the crowd this morning? They have turned their attention to the Waldger Group. They are carrying signs that say, ‘The Antichrist,’ ‘World Government,’ ‘No Martial Law,’ and so on. There are a few directed towards you, Enoch; ‘False Prophet,’ ‘Liar,’ ‘Lucifer,’ etc. Looks like the Waldger Group’s PR is in high gear with the shills they put out there, so expect some bad press.”

  “Well, we knew that would happen. There will be a lot more demonstrations after next week, about Elijah and me. And they will only get worse.”

  “We have our own people out there also. We know how to do the same thing. There is always them and there is always us. It makes the world go around.”

  “Yes, it does.”

  “Like Mark, I have got to leave you all.

  “Luke turned to Reverend Marks and asked, “You coming with me? It is your show. I just pack it, move it, and set it up.”
