United States Invaded

by Ira Tabankin

  The Speaker, whose eyes burn with anger, is staring at the President, his face turns bright red, he stands, saying, “Mr. President, let me make sure I understand what you just said, are you threatening the United States Congress?”

  “Mr. Speaker, those members of this Congress who assisted in the defrauding of the United States are domestic enemies of these United States, so yes I am threatening you. If you don’t do the right thing, I will do whatever I have to, in order to protect the United States. I wish many of you took your oaths as seriously as I do. You are going to have to make a decision within your heart and soul to do the right thing. You are going to have put aside the interests of your donors, in order to do the right thing for the country.”

  “Mr. President, I don’t want to sit here and be insulted by a President, who wasn’t elected.”

  “Mr. Speaker, I suggest you and anyone else who wants to leave, GO; before you reach the doors of this room, the names of those who had a hand in the fraud will be published. I have it all arranged, all I need do is say one word, and it will be all over the world. So decide what’s best for you.”

  “You would really publish the list? You would bring down Congress. You might tear apart America, which goes against your oath.”

  “Maybe it’s time Congress was changed. Maybe many of you should have remembered your oaths of office. Frankly I’m disgusted by most of you. Yes, you’re not used to a President speaking to you in such terms. I know this and I don’t care. Most of you are criminals. Many of you are going to be paid a visit by the FBI. I have a deal for you; those of you on my list can quietly resign and fadeaway. If you say one word at any time, you will regret it. We can’t have mass resignations; it will make the country suspect what’s going on. Hence, most of you are going to retire before the Midterms. You can keep your pensions, your healthcare, but you must fade away into retirement. Am I clear? Oh, did I mention, you can and will be held personally responsible for taking part in the fraud. You’ll die penniless and in shame.”

  The members of Congress grow very quiet. Many have turned a shade of gray; a few are sweating and shaking. One has passed out.

  The President continues, “I haven’t even touched on the bad news yet. We have DNA proof the Russians were behind the Minute Man 3 warhead explosion in Minot, North Dakota. The Russians did it in order to set us up to the United Nations. Puten pushed for the world disarmament of nuclear weapons. He planned the attack with President Reid. We have the proof. We know the Russians entered North America through Los Angeles, we know Reid gave them access to the border and a free pass to come and go as they please. He arranged to get them the PAL codes enabling the Russians to set off the warhead. We think they meant to put it on a timer, it going off must have been a hell of a surprise to the Russians. Puten plans to withhold his newest weapons so when the rest of the world is nuke free; he will step in and threaten the world with destruction if they don’t bow to his wishes.

  “Puten and Reid have bribed the United Nations to form an international army to invade us. They are going to try to drop on our strategic bases to secure and take our nuclear weapons which will leave us defenseless from Russia. They will send troops across our border with the LSA. Russian troops will make up the majority of the invaders; however, there will be many other countries sending troops. Puten forced the Secretary-General do this so as to not appear Russia is invading the United States. They hope to surprise us and be able to get in and out very quickly. They don’t think we’re prepared to repulse an attack on our own soil. Many think our military is unarmed and defenseless on own soil; they are going to get a bloody surprise, and I hope a very black eye.”

  The senior Senator from Georgia says, “Let them come, we will kill them all.”

  “Senator, we’re facing a very serious period in our history. We’ve had a President, who wasn’t qualified to be President, who formed a breakaway country to weaken us. I have federalized the National Guard; we’ve already called up some of the reserves, and tonight I plan to call up the balance of the reserves. I would like to put forth to you a plan to form citizen militias. In the revolutionary war, it was the militias that helped turn the tide.”

  The senior Senator from Texas says, “Mr. President, in the great state of Texas we have the Rangers that are made up of the Texan military. We will hold the southern border. Our wall will help slow down the United Nations from crossing our southern border. We have tens of thousands of trained people already in local militias who will be happy to defend the country. We will spill the United Nations blue blood. Their pretty blue helmets make nice targets.”

  “I want to announce in tonight’s speech the formation of the militias; I’ll put them under the control of the Army. I’m giving you four hours to pass a bill supporting the militias, or I’ll do it by Executive order. I’d rather have your support, but I don’t need it. I know the people; they will rush to fight for their homes. They will fight alongside the Army because this time the war will be on our soil; we’re going to be fighting for our homes, our families, our way of life. I want a declaration of war sent to me, a declaration of war between the United States and the United Nations.”

  Someone yells out, “You want us to declare war against the rest of the world?”

  “They’ve declared war on us first. We’ll fight anyone who tries to attack us. I want any foreign power that lands on our shore to be pushed into the sea. I want their fleets sunk before they reach our coasts. I want their planes shot down before they reach our air space. I want the world to fear the United States of America. I don’t care if they like us, only that they fear us. Fear will scare them into doing what we want. If they kill an American, we’ll kill one hundred of their people. We’re not going to accept being dictated to again. The United Nations hates us. We’ve paid them a fortune that is used against us. We’ve given out hundreds of billions of dollars to countries that used the money to train terrorists to attack us. I have to ask, were you people even reading the bills you signed? No more. We’re on the cusp of having to fight for our lives and for the survival of America. Business as usual has to change.”

  “Are you prepared to use nuclear weapons?”

  “Only if they’re used against us first.”

  A Congressman from Tennessee stands to ask the President, “Are you going to force the unification of the country?”

  “Mr. Congressman, if we do our jobs correctly, we won’t have to force unification. When the news breaks about President Obsma not being qualified to be President, when the news breaks that President Reid and Nanny Polsi were key supporters of the fraud that has cost the average American tens of thousands of dollars, and the entire LSA establishment was based on fraud, I’m betting the LSA’s people will want to rejoin the nation. If they decide to continue their grand experiment, I’ll accept it.”

  A Congressman from Mississippi asks, “Mr. President, don’t you think the people are going to go into shock between hearing about President Obsma and a potential invasion? Shouldn’t we break the news to them slowly?”

  “Congressman, time isn’t on our side. The Supreme Court is going to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce their findings on Mr. Obsma’s presidency. I’m going to announce the pending invasion tonight that’s as much time I can put between the two announcements. I’d like to spread them out; however, events are overtaking us.”

  The Senator from Montana asks, “Mr. President, can you share with us an update on the case against you at the world court?”

  “Senator, we have a very solid defense, the truth. We can prove my innocence; we can also prove Harold Reid filed a frivolous lawsuit to discredit the United States. Does anyone have any other questions?”

  “Yes Mr. President, Congressman from the fourth district in Virginia, Sir, are you asking us to issue a formal declaration of war against the United Nations?”

  “Congressman, yes, I’m hoping the Speaker and the Senate leader bring the declaration to the floor today.”

&
nbsp; Heads nod up and down across both parties.

  “Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Together we’ll guide America through these very confusing times. God bless the United States of America.”

  “President Reid, we completed the review of your computer.”

  “See, I told you there was nothing on it.”

  “Mr. President, you or someone tried to trash the files; however, we were easily able to reconstruct the deleted files. Sir, your computer, has thousands of files on it that meet the national anti-pornography law. Per section, 103.2.4.78 we hereby notify you that you are in violation of said law that carried a mandatory 24-year sentence for being in possession of pornography of children under the age of thirteen. Under the law that you signed, we have no option, but to place you under immediate arrest.”

  “Are you out of your minds? I’m the President of the country. There’s been a mistake made. Now get out of my office, and I’ll forget all about this. It won’t impact your performance reviews.”

  “Mr. President, the law is very clear and spells out that no one within the nation of the LSA is immune to the law, as such you are going to have to come with us.”

  “President Brownstone, I’d like you to meet Colonel Wayne, he has plotted the attack on OPEC you requested.”

  “Colonel, it’s nice to meet you. Why don’t you use the large monitor and show me what you’ve planned.”

  “Sir, my plan is to hit their oil terminals with precision cruise missiles. We want to leave the oil fields undamaged. If we hit their terminals they can’t pump their oil to any tankers, hence they can’t sell their oil. This will hit them in their most-vulnerable spot, their wallets.”

  “Colonel, how many of their terminals do you intent to strike?”

  “Sir, all of them, we can put OPEC out of business for a while. My plan is to use our four SSGNs, who will launch 600 cruise missiles; they will launch from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf cutting down their advance warning to only a couple of minutes. Our submarines are very hard to locate. They should be able to sneak in, fire and leave before their missiles land at their targets. By the time, OPEC looks for the launching platforms they will be long gone. The plan calls for two destroyers to be loaded with cruise missiles and attack the terminals and refinery in Venezuela.”

  “Colonel, you have permission to proceed.”

  Chapter 20

  “President Brownstone will address the nation tonight at 8:00 PM. His address will be carried on every network station.”

  Ron, Kathy and I sat on the couch with a six pack of beer on the coffee table. No one seemed to have any idea what the President’s address was going to be about. There were millions of rumors covering every topic possible; everything from President Obsma had been sighted in Vegas, to aliens have arrived.

  At the stroke of 8:00 the screen changed from the brain dead talking heads to an image of the Briefing Room and the President’s podium. The President walked into the room and stood behind the podium. “Good evening my fellow Americans. It’s very good to be speaking with you again. The Oval Office is almost finished. I’m sure any of you who’ve remodeled their home will appreciate that the project never seems to be completed on time or what the contractor quoted. I asked for a new wall and a picture window, but it seems the contractor decided I needed a lot more.”

  Kathy and I laughed so hard we both spit up our beer. We’re still fighting with our contractor to finish repairs to our house when the DHS tore it eight apart months ago.

  “I’d show you pictures, but it’s such a mess my wife will kill me if I show pictures of my office in a complete mess.

  “To move to a couple of serious points. First the good news, our economy is growing at the fastest rate in fifteen years. Our unemployment rate, the real rate, is down to 5.35 percent. This includes everyone out of work, including those who have used up their benefits and those who are working part-time while still looking.

  “Our national debt has been lowered from $21 trillion to $9 trillion. Our importation of oil from the Middle East has dropped to less than $5 billion a year, the only reason it’s even this high is due to long term contracts. We have opened federal lands for drilling and fracking, we’re now producing over 100% of our own oil requirements. We’ve become a net exporter of oil while at the same time refilling the national strategic reserve and building and filling a new-strategic reserve. We have sufficient oil to last us at our current use rate for nine months. America will never again be dependent on importing a strategic material from hostile countries. Our money is never again going to a country that hates us. Our funds will never again go to people who train and support attacks against America.

  “My fellow American’s, we’ve worked miracles together in the past eight months. I’d like to thank each one of you for your hard work in helping put America back on our feet.

  “The horrible accident in Minot, North Dakota, has caused all of us pain and suffering. We have poured resources into the area. We’ve built a new city; we’ve built and staffed a hospital for the burn victims and another for the radiation victims. We’re doing everything we can for the poor people who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can tell you that the explosion wasn’t an accident. We have 100% DNA proof the warhead was triggered by a small group of Russian Special Forces troops. Yes, we were attacked with weapons of mass destruction on our soil. What does the Russian Federation do after attacking us? They bring a resolution to the United Nations to disarm the world of nuclear weapons. I’m asking everyone, would you trust the Russian Federation to turn in all of their weapons? I don’t. Are you prepared to trust your children’s future to the Russian Federation who attacked the United States with nuclear weapons? They killed thousands of our citizens. It was their hand on the trigger. The Russian Special Forces officer who led the mission died with his entire team when they triggered the bomb. We think they thought they were setting the weapon on a timer. We don’t think they knew they were setting it off and becoming the world’s most-deadly suicide bombers.

  “The United Nations has voted on the Russian resolution. They’ve turned it into a binding treaty. One whose goal is to disarm the world of nuclear weapons. I know many of you agree with the concept of a nuclear-free world. I do too. However, I’m not willing to risk the future of America in the hands of the United Nations. I don’t trust the Russians not to hold back some weapons that they’ll use to blackmail the world years from now.

  “To enforce the treaty, the United Nations has formed an international army which will invade each member of the nuclear club who’s refused to sign the binding treaty. They’re going to start with us. I have it on good authority the Russians have offered the United Nations four army groups, every country has offered material support or manpower to the new UN army. Being the baddest country on the block, we’re their first target. I’m calling up all of the military reserve units; if you’re in a reserve unit, report to your base by midnight tonight.

  “I’m going to take a page out of President Washington’s playbook. I’m calling for the formation of citizen militias. These militias will be attached to the US Army. I’m sure many of you will agree to join us in the defense of our country. I don’t care what kind of gun you have. We’re not going to judge you; we need your help in defending our country from potential invaders. In the 1700s, General Washington formed citizen militias to fight next to the Continental Army. I know there are many militias out there, I’m asking you to contact your local Army base commander. If there’s no local base, please contact your local National Guard armory. The commanding officer there will assist you.

  “My fellow Americans, we’re about to be invaded for the first time since the war of 1812. This is very serious; it’s not a video game. It’s not a paintball game. If you get shot, you will most-likely die. Think about the risks before agreeing to join the military in the fight. Remember, this time we’re going to be fighting on ou
r soil. We’re going to be fighting for our families, our homes and our friends in our backyards.

  “An invasion is going to disrupt our transportation network. I’m asking every family to have three to five weeks of food, water, and batteries, or candles on hand. I believe the United Nations will attack us at our military bases, weapons depots and our strategic bases. I don’t think they will attack our cities. Their goal isn’t to kill us; it’s to disarm us. Something I can’t accept. I can’t and won’t place our security in someone else’s hands.

  “I don’t want to see prices being increased to take advantage of the situation. I’ve signed an executive order freezing wages and prices for the duration of the national emergency. No one is going to get rich or take advantage of anyone during this time. We already have more than enough to worry about versus wondering if we’re going to be able to buy bread and milk for our children. We will ensure deliveries to the cities as much as we can. Starting tomorrow truck deliveries will be escorted with armed support. Anyone attacking the convoys will be met with deadly force. Looting and robbery are hereby classified as capital offenses.

  “My fellow Americans, the next few weeks are going to try us down to our souls. None of us has any idea what’s it’s like to be invaded. I’m sure the country can count on every one of you. Thank you and God bless America.”

  “Ron, we’re going to war! Do you remember the movie, ‘The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming’? Well, it looks like they are.”

  Before Ron can respond, his police cell pings. “Brad, wait one, official incoming message.”

  Reading the message, Ron shakes his head side to side.

  “Hey, old buddy, what’s wrong?”
