The bill was designed to increase taxes to pay for it. It was easier to increase spending than to correct the abuse and prosecute the offenders. The increase in taxes would affect everyone’s income. No one would be exempt. The cradle-to-grave medical care had to be preserved at all costs, no matter who was hurt. The United Nations had decreed it, the president demanded it, and the new government approved it. As the senator was getting into his car in the underground parking lot, two men approached him. As the senator closed the door, one man put up his hand and motioned the senator to lower his window so they could speak.
The senator reached over and pushed his left front window button and the window slid silently down. “Yes, gentlemen. What can I do for you?”
The one man smiled. In a soft voice, he asked, “Excuse me, are you Senator Stoppell?”
“Yes,” he replied. “What can I do for you?”
“Sorry to bother you, sir, I’m agent Parker and this is agent Clarkson. We’re from the bureau.” Parker opened a small leather folder he was holding and let the senator see his credentials. “You have a priority emergency meeting with the president, sir. There seems to be something going on, and the president has asked the bureau to pick you up, sir, and several of your staff. Seems there’s some real problems coming up on the med bill and the president wants a high-level meeting tonight. He doesn’t want anything to go wrong with it at this stage. If you don’t mind, sir, we have a car ready to take you over to Andrews for the flight to Camp David. If you like, sir, you can call your family from the helicopter on our way there.”
“That’s great, but I’m really tired. Can we do this in the morning?”
“I’m afraid not, sir. The president needs you immediately.”
“Well, I’ve got everything with me on the new bill, and this will give me a chance to go over it with him before we finalize it. Okay, tired or not, let’s go.” The senator got out of his car and locked it, and the three men entered a bureau car and departed for what he thought was a ride to the base and Camp David.
All over Washington, the same scenario was going on. At each selected target, they were picked up and taken to a plane or a helicopter for transport. Before the sun was to rise on another day, all the selected targets had to be picked up and at their destinations or on their way to the holding camps. At the same time, the chosen military units were moving into position throughout the country. State governments were being silently taken over. Selected governors were picked up by federal agents and were on their way to camps where they would be kept away from other members of the House and Senate. Naval units had moved into position in both oceans. Carrier task groups were standing offshore.
The members of the House and Senate that were part of the revolutionary council were standing together to make the announcement at 6:00 a.m. in Washington DC. The country would awaken to a new, free, and brighter nation.
At the precise time of the announcement, a delta assault group would be hitting three known drug cartel bases in Mexico and Latin America. They would hunt down and bring back the drug lords to the United States for trial. Special selected ground forces, air, and naval units were moved to a position just off Panama. Should the cartel’s host countries try to intervene in American operations, they would be smashed. They had planned everything to the last detail.
Both air and naval units had targeted military bases and depots in each country. If need be, they would destroy them. The council was determined to stop all drug traffic into the country. The first proclamation would be to guarantee all basic constitutional rights based on the 1941 laws. They would enact all civil rights laws to protect all citizens based on their national origin, color, and gender. They would revoke all state same-sex marriage laws and allow companion laws to prevail with states granting spousal-type benefits. There would be no homosexual allowances within the military.
They would recess the Supreme Court and then hold the justices at a secret base until the revolutionary government was in complete control of the country. They expected that there would be areas that would fight to maintain the laws and the way of life as it was. The council hoped that without a governor or lieutenant governor to control the state, they would have far less opposition to worry about. With strategic bases in key areas, it was doubtful that there would be serious opposition from any state government. To ensure it, they had the commanding generals of each state’s National Guard picked up that would have been a threat to them. All State National Guard levels had been reduced to token levels, so pick up would be easy to accomplish.
All members of the council were determined to restore democracy. It was thought by many that America would have fought to earn her freedom from the political chaos it had fallen into. With the country converted into a service nation with a foreign-controlled industrial base, it placed the political control of the nation in the hands of foreign nations.
Through their corporate structures in the United States, Americans were retrained from high-technical jobs to service industries and at half their former salaries and wages. Since the base realignment and the exit of essential defense companies, the Chinese out stripped the country in warship production. The country was unable to build any at all, and the replacement vessels were built in foreign countries. The Chinese navy was larger than the North American navy. The Chinese submarine fleet was less sophisticated but larger in boats, and the Russians had made billions from them.
Despair and destitution had taken its toll on all. The time was now. The time is right to regain America. It would be a struggle. The bases were gone and the military had been depleted. The war in Afghanistan and Iraq had pulled the National Guard out of the country, leaving the states unable to support themselves in an emergency. Hurricane Katrina and massive wildfires with high levels of storms and floods devastated whole states. With the lack of troops at home, it necessitated help from other countries allowing other countries and the Mexican army to enter this country with aid. Many Americans asked, Where is that fast, deployable military that the secretary of defense had promised? It appeared it was a smoke screen to lull the people into an inert weak force that permitted the merger of America, Canada, and Mexico and the sell out to the United Nations and the European Union. Waiting in the wings was China, building, completely trained, and ready to strike. Russian Special Forces had done their job well.
