United States Invaded (19 page)

Every city has its own story to tell, every city in America feels the pain and torch from the various protest groups.

@@@@@

President Brownstone and his cabinet meet in the Situation Room, the walls are covered with monitors showing the scenes of destruction tearing various cities apart.

President Brownstone stares at the monitors, “I never expected this, I thought some would be upset with the release of the documents, I thought some might protest, but this level of destruction? Never in my worst nightmare did I expect this.”

Alvin, who looks like he hasn’t slept in a week, says, “Mr. President, the country has exploded, every day it’s getting worse. Everyone with any grievance has taken to the streets. The major problem we’re facing is almost everyone in the country has some grievance or another with the previous administration-from demanding repayments from higher tax rates to paying higher gas and electric prices. Mr. President we didn’t foresee the mass release of anger that exploded through everyone.  

              “A few of Rash’s friends and counterparts hosting talk radio programs started listing the impacts everyone paid the previous six years. Everything from higher taxes, higher gasoline prices, loss of their job, loss of their home. The list of complaints covers a couple of hundred different issues, the list is increasing hourly. Mark started this by compiling and reading a list; he read the list for his entire three-hour show only getting to the Cs. He promises to continue every day until he covers everything people paid more for. He took the increases in gasoline and extrapolated it across everything that that the higher gasoline prices caused, such as higher food prices, increased mail costs, increased shipping costs, higher clothing prices, you see where this is going.

“Obsma’s various programs increased the costs of everything. He caused people to lose their homes, their jobs, cars; everyone is claiming some sort of pain and suffering. People who lost their job then had their home foreclosed and had to sell or giveaway most of their possessions, think they’re entitled to compensation for their losses. The talk show hosts are saying that every program, every law, everything he signed legally has to be overturned. Even the court judges he appointed should be impeached and replaced. This is just the tip of the iceberg. As people begin to realize what he cost them, more will stand up to protest and demand compensation. As an example, President Obsma closed coal mines and coal-fired power plants. This increased electric prices, which increased the cost to produce goods, which increased the cost of finished products, which increased the amount of sales tax people paid; Mark asked, shall I continue?”

Sarah shakes her head, “I never thought about where this would lead. We have to do something before it gets out of hand, and everyone decides they are owed compensation for the previous six years. Today is only the morning after the initial document release was made. Imagine what people are going to be demanding in a few days when they start to add up everything they’ve paid because the President was a fraud. Simply saying he shouldn’t have been President opened Pandora’s Box; once opened we can’t close it. Sir, you’re going to have to make a statement to the country, the sooner, the better.”

“I don’t know what to say, I admit I too didn’t think this through to a logical conclusion everyone is seeing. We released the documents to prove Obsma wasn’t a Saint; we ended up with a country torn apart because we didn’t think this through. I suggest we ask for some outside help.”

Ted shakes his head as if he didn’t believe what President Brownstone just said, “Excuse me sir, outside help? Who are we going to call? Rod Sterling is long gone; I don’t know where the keys to the DeLorean time machine are. I don’t know of any time machine that’s going to let us turn back time to 2008 and have a redo. Who can we call on? We’ve never been in this position before; no one has. I don’t think there’s any precedent for what we’re facing. To the best of my knowledge the Constitution doesn’t cover what to do if the President, who shouldn’t have been elected, got elected. The founding fathers never considered someone making it to the office who didn’t meet the qualifications.”

“Ted, I know, which is why I want to ask the Supreme Court Justices for advice. What do the rest of you think?”

The President looks into the eyes of each of his cabinet secretaries and close advisors, as he looks into their eyes, each nods their head up and down to signify they agree.

Alvin says, “Mr. President, I think it’s a good idea. Heaven knows, none of us thought about this result, we don’t know where to draw a line and what to do, maybe they have a plan we don’t know about.”

“I think we’re all agreed, we caused this mess, so we have to find a way to get the country out of the problem.”

John says, “No sir, we didn’t create this problem. The leadership of the Democrat party caused this, most of them who didn’t move to the LSA when it broke away have packed and are in the process of moving. They are moving where neither we, nor the people of America, can hold them responsible for their deceit and lies.”

“John, I’m not sure that’s correct. If we take this to the extreme, if President Obsma hadn’t been elected, he wouldn’t have been impeached, if he wouldn’t have been impeached, he wouldn’t have formed the LSA, do you see where I’m going with this? As to the Democrat leadership, I think the FBI should pay them a visit and take their passports pending the outcome of this entire situation.”

“Sir, I see where you’re going, but that’s like trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube. It’s ain’t going to happen. If you’re going to try and make a case to undo the split between the LSA and ourselves, my gut says, we’re going to have bigger problems than we already have.”

Before anyone can respond, there’s a knock at the door, a secret service agent sticks his head in, “Mr. President, the Secretary of the Treasury is requesting entrance to the meeting.”

The door opens and Steve Fobas is standing there, he’s much leaner than he was before he drank the poisoned coffee.

“STEVE! How are you? I didn’t expect you out of the hospital for another two weeks.”

“Mr. President, I think the current condition demands my attendance, I checked myself out of the hospital this morning. I saw the news reports last night. I knew we’re in for a load of crap, I thought I might be able to help. Sir, if you don’t mind, I’d like to sit down.”

People make room at the table for Steve to sit. He sips a glass of water before continuing, “Mr. President, if I may, I think we need to consult with the Supreme Court…”

“Steve I just finished saying the same thing.”

“I also think you need to address the country and the world. So far you’re looking at the impact here at home, let me pose you another series of questions, how many international treaties did President Obsma sign? What did he commit us to, which we’re now not committed to? What are the other world leaders he signed the agreements with thinking? Are they concerned we’ll honor the treaties. Can we honor them? If we honor one of them, do we have to honor all of them? If we honor one claim for compensation, don’t we have to honor all of them? If we honor the claims for compensation, we’ll bankrupt the country. The money collected by the government is long gone. The money companies charged to cover their increased costs can’t be reversed and refunded. The foreclosed homes are currently owned by someone else, many times they’ve changed hands more than once. There’s no way to reverse all of the transactions and return the homes to the people who lost them. Mr. President, I and I’m sure we all, understand the frustration and anger felt by our people. We have to be honest with ourselves; there’s a limit to what we can do. I agree we need to get the Supreme Court in here ASAP. We need legal advice that is going to hold up when someone takes it to the Court. We’re better off starting with them than ending up trying to defend our position in front of them. We’ll be able to look our people in the eye and tell them we sought out expert advice that is, if anyone can be considered an expert when this hasn’t ever happened before.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s take a two-hour break while I see if the justices can join us.”

“Jefe, we are ready to proceed.  We have loaded the plane with explosives and incendiary chemicals, and we have recruited two pilots experienced with flying UAVs. We’re going to fly it into the White House. Our goal is to fly it into the Oval Office window.”

“Juan, the Oval office window is armored, are you sure you’ll break through?”

“Jefe, the plane is loaded with 2,000Kg of high explosive, plus it will be traveling at 150 MPH when it hits. The plane’s momentum will help the explosives penetrate the window and wall. There is enough explosive to destroy most of the White House and everyone inside of it.”

“What about the secret service agents with anti-air missiles?”

“We bought a Columbian Air Force flare dispenser; it’s wired for remote control, when we get within range, we’ll start dropping the flares. We also have two truck bombs that look like television vans we’re going to park them in front of the White House, if the airplane doesn’t get him, when the Secret Service brings him out of the White House we’ll explode the truck bombs.”

“Very good, when are you going to kill him?”

“Our sources told us he was planning on addressing the nation tonight; we’re going to attack during the broadcast. There will be many different trucks and many people milling around the White House. No one will notice another couple of trucks with sat dishes. Nor will a small plane attract a lot of attention with all of the news helicopters in the air.”

“Excellent, if you pull this off, I’ll wire the $500 million to your account. I hope you’re more successful than the previous attempts. I’m losing patience.”

Admiral Chen smiled as he looked over his fleet. He glanced at his watch thinking, “
Damn it; only another five minutes have passed. We still have one hour to go.”

“Admiral, the fleet reports every ship is in readiness condition Dragon 1. Sir we are ready to attack at zero hour.”

“Very well, our orders are to launch an attack on the hour. We will follow attack plan Fox 1,”

“Yes Admiral, I’ll transmit, attack plan Fox 1 on the hour.”

Admiral Chen smiled; very soon his name will go down in Chinese history as the man who conquered the Philippines thereby giving China control of the Western Pacific Ocean.

“Holy Father, the reaction hasn’t been as good as we’d hoped. Many are upset; many think we should, as they say, overlook a few of the President’s weak points and do what’s the best for all mankind.”

“Georg, they think we should overlook his weaknesses and still appoint him? Don’t they understand the definition of a Saint?”

“Holy Father, I think their education is lacking. I want every local priest to educate what a Saint is and what a sinner is. It’s very clear that most of the congregations are having problems telling one from the other. If they haven’t learned this simple lesson, they’ll never enter our Father’s Kingdom. They’ll be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. I can’t accept so many of our children sit in Church every Sunday, yet when they leave Church, they forget everything that was discussed. They are truly like children. They operate on what they heard last. They are full of sin and they too easily forget our Father’s message. They are good Christians inside the Church, but when they walk out of it, they revert to what they were on Saturday. I’m not going to appoint or even begin the process of appointing President Obsma as a Saint. This is never going to happen while I’m the Holy Father.”

“Holy Father, please don’t even whisper that anywhere. There is history that not all of the Pontiffs died in their sleep. I worry that President Reid or Puten could decide to try and change Holy Fathers.”

“I know our history, I won’t say anything outside of my apartment walls. If Presidents Reid and Puten kill me, then it was the Father’s will. Tell me, what’s going on in the LSA?”

“Holy Father, it is not going well, President Reid is using your remarks as a show why the Holy Church shouldn’t have any schools or even hold sway over people. President Reid is trying to make the LSA into a nation where the state is the only recognized religion.”

“Georg, it has been tried before. No nation has ever succeeded in washing our Father out of their people. The Holy Spirit is very powerful. When our Father instills his spirit in people, his spirit stays embedded. I’ll make another announcement tomorrow.”

“Yes Holy Father, I’ll notify the networks.”

The nine Supreme Court Justices join the President and Cabinet in the Situation Room. The new Chief Justice sits across from the President. “Randolph, thank you for joining us. I think you know why we’ve asked for you to consult with us. We’ve reached a major stumbling block. We’ve all seen the complete package of documents that were hidden in the AG’s office. Have the Justices also reviewed the documents?”

“Mr. President, we have reviewed the package. I have also placed a personal call to the Chancellor at Columbia and Occidental. I informed both of them that I’d seen the transcripts; I asked them if the documents I read were true. They asked me to tell them what the documents said, I told them, they responded the documents are real and valid. With their permission, I recorded the call. Here’s the CD.”
