What Will America Look Like in 2016 Under Barack Hussein Obama? By Steven Clark Bradley


What Will America Look Like in 2016 Under Barack Hussein Obama?
by Steven Clark Bradley Novelist

 

Though I firmly believe that Barack Obama will not be reelected, and though it is obviously clear that he does not deserve to be, I think it is important to take a look at what would be the result upon this great nation most of us love, should he be reelected. We know that his driving force has always been to fundamentally transform the United States of America, as he said himself, just four days before the 2008 presidential election.
So, I have done a great deal of research and work at trying to prepare a document that is based more on facts than on emotion and outlook, though I have not completely left my opinion from the content of this essay. Read this carefully prepared document and let it sink into your mind and guide you as you prepare to vote for the future of this country. This is the most important election in the history of the republic. It shall, indeed, decide what America will look like in 2016.
If Barack Hussein Obama is reelected, in 2016,
  1. I.                   America’s Productivity will be driven down and Unemployment Will be Driven Upward:
President Obama was very coy and did not lay out a definitive plan for a second term in his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Nevertheless, it is clear that he will call for and pass jobs unbelievable tax increases not only on the wealthiest 2% in the nation, but also on Small Businesses.

“I have not raised taxes on the middle class.” Another Obama lie:
Though he has already said that he has raised no taxes on the middle class, in fact, according to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) he actually passed and is now implementing the largest and most expansive tax increase on regular working people in the history of humankind. In the passages of his health care bill, Obama has already forced working Americans to buy something they do not want or face severe penalties of thousands of dollars per middle-class households.

President Obama has already stated that he will interpret a second-term victory as “A Mandate” to introduce massive tax increases on small businesses that employ the majority of middle-class Americans. He has told Time Magazine that because of his policy contrasts with Romney, he’d interpret a win as giving him a mandate to maintain the Bush-era tax cuts for people making less than $250,000.” (Darren Samuelsohn, “W.H. Plans For A Second Term,” Politico, 9/8/12)

Obama’s Dirty little Secret…
Obama knows it, as do all his liberal cohorts, that a tax increase on the wealthiest 2% of Americans, in reality, translates into a tax increase on the middle-class and on the poorest in our nation. Many cannot see the truth behind his lie because of the smoke that he has shrouded his words in by his use of class warfare. When is the last time that you asked a poor person for a job? It is the wealthy that makes it possible for those on the lower rungs of the ladder to rise to the top. Yet, actually it is very easy to explain and see clearly.
  1. Under the current tax rates instituted under George W. Bush, Company A makes a profit of 25%. (Business are in the business of making money, after all.) They are able to make a certain number of products and to sell those products at a certain price that the general public can afford, and with the current rates, they employ a certain number of workers in an already bad economy.
  2. President Obama then raises the wealthiest top marginal rates from the current 35% to 39.6%. That means that business owners will now lose 4.6% of their profit and will set in motion several ways to recoup their losses. That is the natural manner that business works. Here is what Business will naturally have to do if Obama’s tax increase on businesses takes effect.
    1. Business A will then realize that to stay in business, they have to regain the profit that the government has now taken from them and cut back on productivity and make fewer goods.
    2. The making of fewer goods will necessitate the massive reduction of workers who create and fabricate Business A’s products by firing and laying off workers temporarily or permanently. This will cause the massive increase in the rate of unemployment.
    3. Next, in an effort to further regain the money Business A has lost due to Obama’s increase in taxes to the wealthiest 2%, Business A will also have to increase the prices they charge for the products and goods they produce.
    4. Consumers (Middle-Class Americans) will be forced to pay more for the goods and products that Business A makes at the Wal-Mart’s and Targets and in every place where Business A’s products are sold.
    5. In the end, Business A recoups all its lost revenue through reduction in workers and increases (Inflation) in prices, but the Middle-Class American consumers will lose their money due to increased unemployment and by paying more for the products they need at the stores.
Logical Conclusion: It is, in reality, the middle class who will actually pay for the increase in taxes on the wealthiest 2%. It just does not work. Taking from those who pay to employ and produce the goods and services Americans need and buy only eventually bites those who have the least; not the most.
Here’s what works:
  1. Business A wants to increase their productivity, but they cannot because they do not have the funds for increased output and modernization of their infrastructure.
  2. Government cuts taxes across the board and lets business keep more of their profit.
  3. Business now has addition money they can invest in innovation of new products or in producing more of their regular goods. They set goals for increases because they have the money to do so.
  4. Business A now must employ more workers to produce their new products or increased numbers of products.
  5. These newly employed or returning workers will now become tax payers instead of government program recipients and begin to add to the nation’s revenue.
  6. The government now has more revenue and can invest in the nation’s infrastructure and not allow the nation to falter because of massive deficits.
Which one sounds like the most suitable course of action for the nation? If you are a conservative American who loves the  nation and loves innovation and individual freedom, you will of course say the second scenario. If you are a liberal and love socialist approaches that only steal productivity and innovation and increase nation control, you will say the first one.

 Here are the facts:
President Obama’s Tax Hikes will cause 2.1 million business owners to pay higher taxes, and each percent of increased taxes will add up to a net loss of 710,000 middle-class jobs. On July 7, 2012, the Washington Post reported that, “Researchers determined the plan would actually subject 2.1 million business owners to higher rates; specifically, those who pay pass-through taxes, like most partnerships, LLCs and S-Corporations. The result, less capital in the hands of business owners and diminished labor supply, would cost the United States an estimated $200 billion in economic output and 710,000 jobs.” (J.D. Harrison, “Obama Plan To Lift Top Tax Rates Would Plague Millions Of Small Businesses, Study Warns,” The Washington Post)

President Obama’s unfair and Class-Warfare driven plan to increase taxes on those who provide jobs to the unemployed will hit small business small-business owners the hardest and they are ones who create the most jobs in America. The National Federation of Independent Business shows that if the current top tax rates are allowed to expire, the biggest single affect will be to stifle job creation and will further erode the already faltering economy. A report, published by the accounting firm Ernst & Young, showed that raising top individual rates will especially harm small-business job creators in who are already squeezed into a no-win corner.” (NFIB, Press Release, 7/17/12)
  1. II.                 A Second Obama Administration Will Squander American Freedom and Treasure on Unneeded and Hyper-Controlling Environmental Policies:
President Obama has already pledged to revive and pass his dangerous and unconstitutional Cap-And-Trade Plan that will only cause all of us to pay more for our energy costs such as fuel for our cars and trucks, energy to both heat and cool our homes and will invest more American treasure in companies like Solyndra, which again wasted billions of much needed American funds on a failing company that had supported Obama in his first run for the White House and went belly-up.

President Obama has not made it a secret that his most important policy he intended to address in a second term is climate change. Remember he promised to stop the oceans from rising and to heal the planet in his first run for the presidency. The New Yorker stated, “Obama has an ambitious second-term agenda, which, at least in broad ways, his campaign is beginning to highlight. The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change, one of the few issues that he thinks could fundamentally improve the world decades from now.” (Ryan Lizza, “The Second Term,” The New Yorker, 6/18/12)
President Obama said himself that on a second term in office, “We’re going to deal with climate change in a serious way.” Obama added at a campaign rally in San Francisco, California on February 17, 2012 that, “We have to have an even more robust energy policy if we’re going to create the kind of jobs in this new energy sector that are needed and we’re going to deal with climate change in a serious way.”

It is well known and has been read and heard on video that January 1, 2008, then Senator Barack Obama stated, under his cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. “When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, you know, under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.” (Sen. Barack Obama, Interview With the San Francisco Chronicle’s Editorial Board.)

Senator Barack Obama was not afraid to state his goals to make you poorer as a result of his reckless environmental policies then, because he thought you were not listening. Evidently, America was not and he was right. Today, President Obama still thinks Americans are turning a deaf ear to his plans to future undercut your purchasing power and to continue to carry out his plans to control the way you live into the future. Will America once again be apathetic to Obama’s plans. We shall know the answer to that in the coming weeks.
  1. III.             In 2013, The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will be fully implemented, which will cut a whopping $716 billion from Medicare and automatically kick in the most devastating job-destroying tax increases in the history of the nation.
The Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has determined that Obamacare prescribed cuts to Medicare to the tune of $716 Billion will cut the heart out of the medical safety net for the elderly and the infirm. (Congressional Budget Office, Letter To Speaker John Boehner, 7/24/12.) Another medical research body, the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) released a report on Wednesday, September 7, 2012 that pointed out that Obamacare’s built-in medical tax that will take effect in 2013, will cause 43,000 Jobs to flee overseas once the tax takes effect in 2013. (Sam Baker, “Device-Makers Say Tax Will Cost 43,000 U.S. Jobs,” (The Hill,) In addition, starting in 2013, Obamacare will expand Medicare taxes to investment income and increase payroll taxes. This unbelievable assault on the people’s savings will cost the nation’s middle-class workers $318 Billion, according to a letter to Speaker of the House of Representative, John Boehner from the Congressional Budget Office on July 24, 2012. (Letter To Speaker John Boehner )

All of this more than confirms that when President Barack Obama states often that he has not increased taxes on middle-class workers in America, he has deceitfully and ruthlessly lied to each and every one of us.
  1. IV.             A second Obama term will increase America’s deficit by trillions of dollars in over the next ten years. (The deficit has grown under President Obama by over 1o trillion in his first four years)
President Obama’s Budget will increase the national deficit by almost one trillion dollars in his first year of his second term. On March 16, 2012, the Associated Press reported that, “A new analysis of President Barack Obama’s budget for next year says the deficit scenario for next year isn’t as rosy as the White House figured last month. Friday’s Congressional Budget Office report said Obama’s budget would produce a $977 billion deficit next year; $75 billion more than predicted by the White House.” (“CBO: Obama Budget Produces 2013 Deficit of $977B,” The Associated Press)

The Congressional Budget Office already pointed out on March 16, 2012 that President Barack Obama’s tax and spending policies President Obama’s budget projections will expand the deficit by $6.4 trillion dollars over the next ten years, more than doubling the shortfall in CBO’s own fiscal accounting. (David Rogers, “CBO: Exploding Debt Under Obama,” Politico)

I hope the nation realizes that it is not enough to build up a nation’s infrastructure and military protection if we won’t have the funds to maintain it and depend on it whenever it should be needed. The nation is precariously close to dropping the ball and having a mothballed super-powered defunct military because of the spending and taxing policies that Obama envisioned for the nation to pay for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare.) Such numbers are astronomical and will kick in automatic and devasting cuts in the nation’s most vital interests.
  1. V.                President Obama and his administration have scheduled devastating military cuts that will threaten the safety and survival of the nation:
Washington Post Associate Editor, Bob Woodward verified in his book, The Price of Politics that President Obama’s Administration is the force behind the planned massive defense cuts. Woodward correctly stated that the draconian spending cuts were the brainchild of officials in the Obama Administration and of Obama himself and not in Congress. According to Woodward, President Barack Obama’s top deputies believed the trauma at the thought of massive defense cuts would force Republicans to agree to a deficit-cutting grand deal. Austin Wright, writing for Politico on September 7, 2012 stated that, “Bob Woodward’s book could bolster Republican attack On W.H.,” Politico.)

So, what does all this say about the future of the US Military? In fact, President Obama’s Defense Cuts will cause the loss of as many as 1.5 Million Jobs. Called, Sequestration, over $1 trillion will be cut across the board in military spending in fiscal years 2013 and 2014. It will increase the U.S. unemployment rate by nearly 1 percentage point in the short term. This fact was pointed out by Lt. Col. Elizabeth Robbins, a spokeswoman of the Department of Defense on October 12, 2011. (Politifact)

Take a look at this unbelievable and surprisingly honest comment by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta when he himself said February 16, 2012 that Sequestration, “And let me tell you something if sequester goes into effect, you can throw all of this out the window. Sequester doubles the numbers of cuts, does it through that crazy formula, and guarantees that we are going to hollow the force and devastate our national security.” (Secretary Leon Panetta, Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Defense, U.S. House of Representatives, Testimony.)
  1. VI.             Obama’s plan is to use the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to Federally fund Abortion on demand:
After an initial analysis of the more than 1500 pages of Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) found that President Barack Obama’s lie was obvious. It in fact does nothing to stop the massive abortion funding that was written into the original Senate health care bill. Now, a leading pro-life group has released additional research showing the Obama plan actually increases abortion funding. In the manager’s amendment Senate Leader Harry Reid added to the Senate health care bill, HR 3590, a deeply hidden and unnoticed provision allowed $7 billion in funding for Community Health Centers (Abortion Clinics) buried deep in Section 10503 of the 383-page amendment.

Pro-life groups have already condemned the provision because the money could be funneled to abortion businesses to pay for abortions and will not be subject to provisions like the Hyde Amendment that stops abortion funding. Now, officials at the National Right to Life Committee say Obama actually proposes to increase the funds that would be available to directly subsidize abortion procedures (through Community Health Centers) in spite of his worthless Executive order stopping funding, which he wrote to get Representative Stupak’s acquiescence. This is Obamacare’s way of sliding further murderous acts against the unborn and that will legalize the subsidizing of private health insurance that covers abortion.

Even with all the smoke and mirrors and “Changes” that were made to the bill, the final legislation that was signed will allow direct federal funding of abortion on demand through Community Health Centers and will institute federal subsidies for private health plans that cover abortion on demand (including some federally administered plans), which will authorize federal mandates that will require even non-subsidized private plans to cover abortion. The Obama plan also proposes increasing the $7 billion for community health centers to $11 billion without any restriction on the use of these federal funds to pay directly for abortions.

Quickly after taking office in January of 2009, President Barack Obama overturned the Mexico City Rule. The rule stated that the U.S. government could not provide funding for family planning services to clinics or groups that offered abortion-related services overseas, even if funding for those activities came from non-government sources. It essentially barred recipients of U.S. foreign aid from promoting abortion as a method of family planning. If organizations received government funding, they had to agree as a condition of their receipt of federal funds that such organizations would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations.

The rule was originally put in place by President Ronald Reagan and was overturned by President Bill Clinton until President George W. Bush reinstated it. Whereas President Obama seeks to force the US Government’s will onto every front of American society as he can, he overturned the Mexico City Rule stating, "We are reminded that this decision not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman's right to choose." It is clear that Obama will use the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to further the evil and murderous act of Abortion.
  1. VII.          President Obama intends to find a way to make Same-Sex Marriage the law of the land.
On August, 17, 2008, Then Senator Barack Obama sat down with Senator John McCain and Pastor Rick warren for a presidential debate. The debate was centered on moral issues and when issue of Same-Sex Marriage arose, Senator Obama sat in the church and lied straight into the faces of the American people when he said that he would not support same-sex marriage and that he believed that marriage was between a man and a woman.
Shortly after he took the presidential oath of office, his new White House website came online and it became immediately clear that the gay activists of America had a new and strong ally in the Oval Office. He made it clear that he intended to support the movement and to teach our kids in school that being gay was normal at as early an age as kindergarten. He appointed Kevin Jennings to be his new school Czar and began a march toward eventually announcing his full support of same-sex marriage on May 9, 2012. It is still unclear how he plans to accomplish his goal of making same-sex marriage the national norm, but we know that this is his goal and that he will regard another four years in the White House as a mandate for his continued Total transformation of the United States of America.

It is easy to see that the first four years as president of this dear nation has taken us from a nation that was fiscally responsible and morally accurate to a nation of people ready for handouts and free of a moral conscience to keep the nation on a road of sexual and moral integrity. It is only logical to imagine what another four years will turn the nation into. I can say that as far as I can predict, if Barack Hussein Obama is reelected, the will be the last president of the United States, for another, far less free, far more sinister nation will be woven around the yoke of freedom on which this nation was found so tightly that there will remain nary a semblance of the nation that was founded by Washington, Adams and Jefferson and preserved by Lincoln, Kennedy and Reagan. This is but a slight peek into the future image of a nation that shall be shattered, broken and ruined, should Barack Hussein Obama be reelected. It does remain a fact, nevertheless that the people shall get what they vote for; a nation on the road to liberty and financial and moral sanity or a nation so far changed and rotted from the inside out that she will be unsustainable. It is clear and sure that we will get what we vote for and end up with what we deserve.

Who is The Enemy?


Is this not what we have battled against, for which we gave our blood to free men and women and children from such displays of the hatred of one's skin color?


Look at the videos and then ask yourself if this was the administration you voted for; most certainly, I did not.



Look at the case against two Black Panthers who intimidated and interupted voters, after this federal court case had allready been won.

I cannot believe this nation will let... Eric Holder's J
ustice department drop a case in which it had already gotten a conviction against the dispicable and anarchist behavior, that if sufficiently, diabolically organized, it could roll up the nation and make it an historic wasteland. Is this the administration this country so hypnotically voted for? Yes it is, sadly.




Millions of us, both famous and those of us who are just not willing to go down without a fight warned this nation about what would be the result of a President Barack Obama. Alas, it is coming to pass.

Like myself and so many of you, we are America under attack by many who no more love this country than Bin Laden does and we have granted them citizenship.




Eric Holder Thinks
You're A Coward

(Listen to this)



The Carnege's of the past and those who came here to strike it rich and to employ millions upon millions of Americans to work, regardless of their faith, their race, their color or creed. They came to strike it rich, and were in sharp contrast to the masses who are here illegally.


Yet, the illegals are not as a great a danger to the very existence of this nation, this society as those who got to our shores and gained their citizenship, sought only for the purpose destroying us.




While the diversity on the one hand is a cherished and strengthening thing for America. Yet, this nation refused to merge, to mingle and to cherish each other differences and became way too petty and too easily offended to the point that thought will have to be outlawed to keep the peace.



So, we have granted the riches of this nation to men and women who hate what we stand for, and what we will fight to keep. Watch this footage and debate on this Black Panther case that had already been found guilty. These convicted thugs were awaiting sentencing and Eric Holder, the very smart and devious and totally despicable Attorney General of the United States submitted a VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES AGAINST THESE TWO CONVICTED MEN.

Tell me if this was the
CHANGE YOU NEEDed.


The two men who you will hear say that they need to kill of few of your babies, and who had already been convicted, are now FREE MEN!


After watching this and please tell me if you can support the Obama Administration that could do such a thing. Tell me if you are willing to rush headlong over the Cliff of oblivion for this group of thugs now running the nation. Take a look and ask yourself ... do like living in Obama's America? - Steven

The Real Enemies of Freedom
Patriots of Anarchy









Do you find it still impossible that this great nation of freedom could be overrun by forces, not from a foreign power, but by forces that have been ordered to turn upon their own people. Right now, the voices of the American have been loud and passionate. All the polls show that this government is contravening the clear and verifiable will of the American people. This government and this president is stubbornly going against the large majority of the American electorate to put in place a plan for nationalized health care that will change our nation forever.

What would America do if we were faced with a horrendous terrorist attack that no amount of security could stop?

In “The Second Republic – Patriot Acts Part II,” the President of the United States is confronted with a radical underground secret cabal that has targeted America with a domestic bio-terror attack that dwarfs the assault unleashed on September 11, 2001.

This second book in the Patriot Acts trilogy takes the reader inside the White House where treachery and terrorism boils below its underbelly. While trying to avoid invoking emergency powers that could destroy American constitutional freedoms, a former Special Ops officer, now the President of the United States, races to stop a deadly virus, which has killed thousands of innocent Americans.

This Fisher Harrison saga, The Second Republic, is an action thriller that could appear on any of today’s headlines, on any given day with a plausible scenario for the death of humankind that is too frighteningly conceivable for comfort.

The Consortium - Patriot Acts III - Inevitable?


Martial Law has been declared, American Troops have been deployed on the streets of all the major cities of America. Americans have been ordered off the streets and into their homes. Patriotic Americans take to the streets to fight for their freedom, and are shot on sight. Does this sound impossible? Does it seem like that could never happen in the home of the free and the land of the brave?

Yet, when a free people no longer cherishes their freedom, when the previous generation no longer passes on the heritage that shed its blood to gain their liberty the only result can be the loss of appreciation and undervaluing of the truths that forged our nation. Such behavior, such lack of resolve to pass on the truths of the American experiment will not make the fall of the republic possible. In truth it will make the loss of liberty, self governance and self determination inevitable.

The Consortium


Chapter Eighteen


Georgetown, Washington D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:47 p.m.

At his home, frightened, angry and ready to run, Richard Leitner, the newest former Secretary of the Treasury by virtue of his firing by President Fisher Harrison earlier in the day, stood at his study in Georgetown, truly one of the classiest famous neighborhoods located in all of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. He was shamed and out of a job. He looked out the large bay windows of his nine million dollar overlook of the Potomac River front. He had given his life for the Consortium, now; he faced certain ruin and shame all because of a president of less than two weeks who thought he could just throw his career and reputation in the garbage.

“I’ll be damn if he’ll take it all away from me.” He yelled out to no one in particular, with the sincerity of the traitor he was.

Joint Session of Congress
US Capitol, Washington, D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:49 p.m.

The trucks that had now encircled the US Capitol were not silent about it. Shots could be heard in the distance, and every person in the Chamber, political, journalistic, civilian or military knew that something was getting ready to explode. Fisher wondered if the pressure was to induce capitulation, or if or if more radical measures were planned to bring about the fall of the government of the United States.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the sound you hear outside these cherished walls, is the sound of threat and the total loss of liberty, the hands totalitarian rulers that will replace one of freedom and thought, which ultimately took it all for granted. Those sounds can never lead to peace, but should provoke a response. Tonight I give you my reply to the Consortium.”

Georgetown, Washington D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:49 p.m.

After Leitner left the Oval office, earlier in the day, he felt ill, nauseous and absolutely terrified. He had traced his steps back and realized that Morgenthau had given him a drink in the limousine to calm his nerves and to persuade Leitener that the Consortium had another job for the now unemployed former Secretary of the soon to be debunked Treasury.

“I just wasn’t cut from the same bitter cloth that Morgenthau and Berkowitz were.” Leitner told himself and rubbing the back of his head. “They know it too.” Leitner’s heart seemed to skip a beat when he thought about what they would do to him. “I’ve been such a coward, only good for final options.” Leitner told the afternoon air.

Joint Session of Congress
US Capitol, Washington, D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:51 p.m.

“Earlier today, I asked for a meeting with the Federal Reserve Chairman Mr. Timothy Morgenthau and the Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Richard Leitner. As all of us realized very quickly, when we rose this morning that all of our lives had changed forever, during the night. Our money was gone, our economy was collapsing and tens of thousands of troops have been dispersed throughout the country with the authorization of no one inside the United States government.

“I welcomed these two men into the Oval Office with the hope of being informed as to the nation’s security and financial survival. Keep in mind, these are the men and women who fed the SPU, which we had only recently taken down by force.

“It has been estimated that these men and women of money-lust lost over eight hundred billion dollars when the SPU fell. Now, these hidden-away forces, the same powers who were directly responsible in the deaths by assassination of two great Presidents, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy who had both spoken out against the Consortium.”

Georgetown, Washington D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:52 p.m.

Richard Leitner continued peering out his bay windows, beyond the Potomac. He could see the great majestic dome out in the distance. The Capitol’s lights that covered the circumference of the dome along with the White House seemed like the coliseum without gladiators. The lights illuminating the darkening sky gave off a false sense of power and filled the almost night sky with thoughts of a once greater day of the power of the American Republic.

“It’s only an image, now; more like a fable.” Leitner said aloud while never taking his eyes off of the capitol building. Somehow, Leitner was surprised that it hurt him to see it all tottering so. He had been sure that the end of the government would somehow be a great thing. Then he felt the claws of the Consortium extend their reach when they were forced to recoup their money. Yet, against his will, he wished it could be as it had always been, but he knew it would never be again. That image, the great country, which had helped defeated nations rather than crushing them would soon become members of the ‘Used to be powerful’ club.

Joint Session of Congress
US Capitol, Washington, D.C.
March 11, 2011 4:54 p.m.

“This afternoon, in the Oval Office, two extortionists, men in whom the country had placed its trust, sought to force my government’s hand to give them eight hundred billion dollars today or in two hours face the complete and utter collapse the economy of the United States.

“Since 4:00 a.m. this morning, these evil hoarders of wealth have siphoned off five trillion dollars and distributed it to other countries as seen fit by the Consortium. It is their intension that America never be free again.”

America was only minutes from a fundamental transformation, and Leitner knew it. In fact, he knew everything that the Consortium had planned, which he also knew made him a very great threat to the cabal. The former Secretary of the Treasury realized that he had become a liability, a danger, a useless mind full of all the tactics, mechanisms and plans of an international club of cutthroat financial terrorists who would stop at nothing now to get all the power they craved. Leitner knew he had failed them.

He remembered going to the Doctor to get rid of the massive headache he had endured since Morgenthau gave him the drink. All he could recall afterwards was waking up in his bed. He still wasn’t sure that the Doctor and the headache had been real or a dream. The pain in the back of his head was no dream, though.

Fisher picked up a copy of Kennedy’s 1963 Executive Order for the printing and the circulation of silver backed dollars. “Here is a piece of history that is now serving as a true sign of God’s hand to protect us.

Peter Barlow and Warren Berkowitz knew exactly where Richard Leitner was at the moment. They could see his every movement.

“Warren, he’s going to be on the move. Should we activate him?”

“Well, I’d rather just terminate him, ha-ha, for the second time today, just in a more permanent manner, if you know what I mean, but that would take all the Irony out of the plan.” Berkowitz said.
“You are a witty one, Berkowitz, but right now, I need an answer.”

“Considering that this is the only remaining use for the wimp, so, let’s squeeze his last drop if utility right out of him, Peter, my man. Activate now.”

Both Peter Barlow and Warren Berkowitz saw Leitner’s front door open slowly. Peter placed Leitner’s new ID into the computer and the link to the chip that had been planted in the back of his head only hours earlier, at the doctor’s office, came to life.

“Firstly, before riding over to the Capitol today, I signed an Executive Order instructing the US Treasury to print gold and silver backed currency. This process is already underway. In addition, I have issued an order that Federal Reserve notes shall no long be accepted as legal tender for the payment of debts or for issuing credit at midnight, March 25, 2010. All Federal Reserve notes will be turned in and an equal amount of Silver Backs will be returned to you.

Richard Leitner decided to get out while he still could. He had frantically run around his house gathering the things a single bachelor would need or want. He had closed all the blinds, locked every window and door and set the surveillance system then picked up the two suitcases he had had just enough time to prepare. He planned to drive over to the Treasury to confiscate some personal files and things. Then, his whole body felt like it had been hit by a massive bold of lightning and made him drop the suitcases and the front door key to the ground. His head again began to pound and he threw up all over his front porch and his hand searched on the ground for the key.

“Richard … Richard Leitner, forget the key, forget the door; forget the suitcases.”

Leitner raised his head. Puke had splattered, all over his face. He heard the voice, and it sounded like someone right next to him. He rose off his knees and stood looking around in every direction.
“I know you’re confused. Who wouldn’t be? The sickness will go away soon.”

“Who are you … where are you?”

“That does not matter. We need your help, and then you can be free to live your life.”

Leitner laughed. “I know Berkowitz. Evidently, you do not. Perhaps Morgenthau would give me another chance. Not, Warren; if you asked him about me, he’d say he had already forgotten about me and to learn not to care.”

“Yes, in fact, that’s exactly what he said.”

“I don’t care either. So, get in your car and drive to the Capitol and walk up to the main entrance and show your pass. It’s still active, I checked. Someone will be there to give you something. Take it and wait for further instructions.” Peter ordered Leitner.

Leitner was still feeling sick and fought against the involuntary movements that the voice in his head seemed to be able to control. After a minute, the pain in his head was gone, the fear was nonexistent and he was under Peter Barlowe’s command.

“While speaking with Treasury Secretary Richard Leitner this afternoon, I informed him that he was being terminated from his job. The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury is the interim Chief Financial Officer of the United States. I have also issued a warrant for former Secretary of the Treasury Leitner for treason as traitor of the United States and an enemy combatant based on his profound cooperation with the Consortium.

“Yes, yes, Peter, you have done well. But then, the guy’s so fearful that we probably didn’t need to spend the money to chip him. I really like that part about forgetting the key and the door; oh, and the suitcases. That was a hoot.” Berkowitz said and laughed. “I mean, he won’t be needing it anymore, anyway. Oh, the things we do for our country.”

“Leitner’s walking up to the main entrance of the capitol as we speak.” Both Barlowe and Berkowitz went silent and just watched Leitner carryout their orders.

“Finally, tonight is a night that history will record as the gravest danger that the United States has ever endured. Will it record that we capitulated or that we prevailed against a richer and more advanced enemy, because that’s how we won the first revolution, against incomparable odds, and that is how we shall win the second.”

Everyone in the chamber rose to their feet and applause rang out. Fisher let them express their hope and courage while American troops surrounded the Capitol with tanks pointing their turrets towards an army’s own government.

Peter heard what President Harrison had just said, and so had Berkowitz. He knew Berkowitz would order the attack, now that President Harrison proved himself to be all the Warren Berkowitz had said he was. Peter disconnected from Berkowitz for a moment and flipped a switch on a router at just the moment Berkowitz was cut out.

“What was that?” Peter asked Berkowitz. “I hope you have all this crap verified.”
“Trust me boy, have I betrayed you?”

Peter laughed and sneered as he spoke back to Berkowitz. “Of course not; you still need me.” Peter replied. “Trust you, not the best choice of words. Warren, earlier today, you brutally wiped out the one person you actually choose as a child to be with you. Yang didn’t have to die. I worked with him, and he was a great young man, full of reasons to have been kept alive. So, don’t ask me to trust you.”

“Is your mind still back at that courthouse? I had already forgotten him. Let me tell you, I think of people as opportunities. I refuse to be attached to any one of them. I have outlasted everyone of my generation, Peter, my boy, simply because I don’t care. Those three words make the world go round. We have caused uprisings and have squelched them when they had served us enough. We’ve fought wars and supported both sides, killed millions, saved as many and have forgotten so many, many more than we remember and we did it all with money. That’s paper, Peter my man. The only way to survive in the midst of that kind of experience is to let yourself be devoured by it; to let it overtake you until the pain and lack of mercy all around you no longer moves you, until you say with sincerity, I don’t care.”

“And that’s the world I am helping you create? Maybe I’m on the wrong side.” Peter taunted Berkowitz.

“It’s the only world I’ll let be and live. Let’s check out the equipment, what ya say? Are the links all set?”

Berkowitz pushed enter and a transfer of over five trillion dollars started from hundreds of thousands of banks across the nation to two hundred and fifty different banks in thirty-five different international banks. “It’s our money. It has our name on it and that big eye over the pyramid kept our investment secure. Now, the risks far outweigh the benefits.” Berkowitz told Peter.

Peter pressed enter and almost all of the one hundred forty-five thousand troops now distributed across the nation came under the Consortium’s control.

“There are a couple hundred links that are down, but they’ll be overrun. The board’s lit up and I’m activating the trucks.” Peter told Berkowitz.

Peter typed in the number of ten of the chips that had been embedded. The computer found them and sent out a super secure inscription to them. Peter typed the command.

“Encircle the US Capitol, activate the devices and wait for further orders.”

The infantrymen started their trucks and stationed themselves all around the capitol. They secured their locations and posted lookouts. They each turned around and cut a hole into to the back seat and all saw a series of rods, warm to the touch, was arrayed with wires and electronic switches. Each of them heard their orders repeated to engage the device. They all found the USB ports and connected them to a WIFI router relay that could receive and send signals to all simultaneously.

The ten chosen infantrymen were sent the connection request that was accepted and instantly, each of the ten electronic detonators’ signals was locked onto the router that made them all act as one against a common target, the United States of America, all with a single press of a button. The infantrymen covered the back seats and waited. One of them was given an extra task to complete. He headed for the main entrance.

Chapter Nineteen
US Capitol, Washington, D.C.
March 11, 2011 5:04 p.m.

Richard Leitner walked at a normal pace up the powerful steps and right up to the front door of Capitol Hill. He had a normal look across his bearded face. Earlier in the day, President Fisher Harrison had shaken Leitner’s frame of mind, and now Peter Barlowe and Warren Berkowitz had reshaped it. Leitner was placid, stoic and without fear as he walked up the steps to the front entrance.

The soldier who had been assigned to wait for Leitner walked over to him.

“Sir, this is for you.”

He handed Leitner a small box and the soldier returned back to his truck. Peter told all ten of them to verify the devices planted in their backseats. They were all online.

Leitner heard Warren Berkowitz’s voice speaking to him in his head. “You know, I was pissed off with you, but I thought, I’ve got the perfect way to redeem yourself. Richard, you are doing a great service to the next great global power, the United National Consortium. It is you who will launch the newest shot to be heard around the world.”

“Warren, I know what you’ve done to me, it is obvious. Damn you, I would have given my life for you.”

“So, what’s the problem? You’re about to do just that. Now, here’s what I want you to say.”

Fisher paused and looked all around the room and took in air before he announced his next decision. “This is an extraordinary moment, and unfortunately, I must take extraordinary measures to combat the evil that is about to be unleashed upon the American people. I ask you to bear with me and consider my reasoning, and to give me your trust. The American People know who I am and that I will keep faith with you.”

Richard Leitner walked up to the security desk and swiped his badge. The light turned green.

“I want to say good evening, Mr. Secretary, but it don’t feel much like one.”

“Believe me, I know what you mean. It’s been maybe the hardest day of my life. Hope I live through it.” Leitner replied with a smile and leaned over the counter and pulled the guard toward him and spoke softly into the man’s ear. “You need to get all these people out of here.” The words came from Leitner’s lips, but the thoughts were Peter Barlowe’s.

“This place is going boom, and you need to get as far away as possible.” Peter looked into the guard’s face. “Do it now, you have not time to waste.” Leitner walked on through security calmly and steadily up to the House Chamber door and waited there. He slowly opened the box the soldier had handed him at the entrance. It was a remote with just one button.

“Open the door and walk into the chamber.” Peter told Leitner. When he walked in and looked at the crowd there. He realized that everyone knew who he was, and many knew him well. They were not all great men and women, but they did love the country, and many of them loved him, but they wouldn’t after today.

Peter attached a separate cable to the router and sent signals to three different embedded chips. They already had their orders; and were already in place and awaiting instructions; orders that Warren Berkowitz knew nothing about. Peter activated the links and repeated his instructions.

“Come out of hiding and activate plan seventy-seven, on my signal.” Peter saw three lights flash on the screen. He isolated them on the grid and washed them through the system and rendered them invisible to everyone, except for Peter Barlowe. The three immediately did as they were instructed. Berkowitz could hear none of it, but he’d know soon enough from the TV.

Joint Session of Congress
US Capitol, Washington, D.C.
March 11, 2011 5:12 p.m.

“Let me say that I never sought this position, but it sought me. It has followed me everywhere I’ve gone, no matter how much I tried to run from it. So, it is apparent that I am in the will of a good and righteous God. No president would ever choose to be in such a dire position so early in his term, but this is the task before us, and we will shrink from doing our duty. For, we demand to be free.”

Leitner began walking forward past the members of the Senators and of the House, all of whom knew who he was. They smiled as he walked forward and closer to the President of the United States. It seemed somehow normal, since Leitner was not a stranger at all, and had been Secretary of the Treasury for over two years, one of the most high profile jobs in Washington D.C. Even so, it seemed odd to see this man walking up the center isle towards the President, in the middle of such a powerful and important speech.
“Effective, midnight tonight, I am declaring Martial Law in all fifty …”

“Mr. President!” Richard Leitner powerfully yelled out.

The mere sound of a high-pitched voice sent Senators and Representatives diving to the floor for fear of being shot. The press went wobbly and ran and hid behind anything they could find, but their cameras continued rolling and they filmed an embattled new President of the Republic standing alone, seemingly undaunted by the face of Richard Lietner staring back at him.

The former Secretary of the Treasury felt a twinge of fear looking at the madman behind the presidential podium. Fisher Harrison stood there and sized up this man and knew this was Leitner plus something else.

He’s chipped. Fisher knew that Berkowitz was squeezing the last ounce of usefulness out of Leitner.

“Richard, are you alright?” Fisher asked seeing the remote in his right hand.

“Mr. President, your fired!”

Peter held Leitner’s finger off the button, and Berkowitz and Morgenthau went crazy.

“Peter, what are you doing? You better have this right, or you die before I do.”

“Not to worry Satan, hell is on its way.” Peter replied.

To the utter shock of every member of congress and the media, whose cameras captured it all, three Special Ops wearing Chameleon suits seemed to slide out of the walls and ran up to the president and surrounded him. the Secret service fired shots, but there was such a high degree of confusion, they didn’t know who to shoot at. The Chameleon suits made it seem that Fisher had been fighting with the air. Slight traces of the three figure could be seen, but the Secret Service was for all practical purposes, blind.

Fisher had not forgotten how to ride a bike and he still knew how to kick someone’s ass. He began fighting and the three knew that he’d never be taken alive that way. One of the Special Ops pulled out a gun and shot a dart into Fisher’s neck. Fisher pulled it out, looked at it and fell to the floor. They picked him up and carried him out of the chamber and quickly outside. They cuffed the president and carefully placed his drug-induced sleeping body in the back of the SUV and raced away.

One of the Special Ops spotted Chief of Staff Michelle Oh. He ran over to her and shot her with a dart also as she was running away from him. She fell to the ground and he scooped her up and ran. She too was placed in the SUV.


On the Runway, Brussels, Belgium
March 11, 2011 5:13 p.m.

“What the hell was that? I didn’t authorize saving the bastard. You’re supposed to kill him. You’re pissing me off too, Barlowe.”

“Warren, go to hell.” Peter calmly replied to Berkowitz. Then he typed in an encrypted message to Leitner.

“All Fall Down.”

Richard Leitner, who had awakened in the morning highly respected as the Secretary of the Treasury and was about to die in the same evening of the very same day, as a an enemy of the State and a total disgrace. He held his hands straight up in the air, as Berkowitz ordered him to do. A terrified Congress began rising up off the floor and looked at Leitner. He had been their friend; he had kept up with the Washington party circuit and many of them only now realized it was him. Almost every one stood up now and looked at Richard Leitner. He was not an unpopular guy, until today. Then he screamed.

“Goodbye, America!”

Lietner pressed the button on the remote, and the earth beneath everyone in the US Capitol began to belch and the air was wiped clean from the building as the ten different dirty bombs planted in the trucks surrounding the US Capitol all detonated at the same time. Each one was filled with highly enriched uranium nuclear waste. All ten trucks took on a momentary, very quick red glow, as the devices activated, sizzled and then instantly incinerated everything in its path. The walls of the Capitol were blown inward and the entire structure came down with a sound that sounded like hundreds of voices crying out in sheer and utter pain, which was exactly what it was. The dome collapsed straight downward crushing anyone who was in the rotunda.

Nearly everyone in the House of Representatives Chamber was dead. In one attack, more than half of the government was gone. The explosion tore the building apart. The history of the nation and every living and dead body in the old, sacred, now destroyed monument of freedom and power would devastate the nation to the point of collapse. Suddenly, the whole building began to shake and a deafening rumbling sound of steel bending and walls falling flowed through air as the US Capitol tumbled to the ground in a massive heaping pile of rubble.

The Secret Service who had survived were frantically looking for the president. “Is there anyone there, is there anyone there? Where the hell’s Law and Order?” The large room had gone pitch dark with the lights all blown out and the smoke and something else left the taste of metal in the mouth and it burned the eyes. “We can’t find POTUS.”

The dead were the lucky ones. Instead of dying an instant, painless death, in about thirty minutes, survivors would experience severe nausea. Slowly, but progressively, disorientation would invade their minds. Vertigo and a rapidly world room would make walking impossible. The pain would be unbearable and their bodies would shut down all their organs as the radiation invaded their minds and bodies. In less than an hour, they’d all die.

Survivors, inside and outside the ruins of the US Capitol opened their eyes and felt their hearts beating quickly. Their blood pressure then dropped rapidly and their breathing became labored. Their faces were drenched with sweat as a high fever set in; the results of the overwhelming affects of the massive dose of radiation from the ten devices now clinging to the air took its toll. Over half of congress lay dead on the House Chamber floor and lying in their vomit, and many would soon pray for death.

Outside the capitol, several thousands of US troops lay dead and thousands were on the ground surrounding Capitol Center writhing in pain. None of them would survive.

World Bank, Brussels, Belgium
March 11, 2011 5:15 p.m.

“Good, now that’s more like it. Hollywood still can’t top the real deal.” Berkowitz laughed and clapped his hands. He was jubilant with the success of the mission and ready to open up Pandora’s box.

“Peter, Peter are you there?” The radio echoed in the lower part of the operation’s building at Ft. Myers. No one was there and no one was coming back.

“What the hell, I’m, I mean we’re in charge now. I’ll do it myself.”

Berkowitz sent out a link to all forces under his control. Immediately tanks and armored vehicles began rolling into the streets of every major city in the country. Emergency bulletins began constantly repeating on every TV and radio in the country.

“A state of emergency has been declared. We are now under Martial Law protocols. You are not to leave your dwellings. Anyone found outside will be shot on sight. You are ordered not to leave your dwellings. A state of emergency has been declared. We are now under Martial Law protocols . Anyone found outside will be …”

Thousands of Americans ran out of their homes and poured into the streets. These were their kids carrying those guns and in those tanks. Aircraft flew low over the cities and Black hawks hovered over hot spots where large groups of angry Americans had gathered with large, small, legal and illegal guns and firing them into the air at the jets that were circling. Several Black hawks engaged fire on those armed below. Americans were dying by the hands of Americans. Those who refused to listen to the troops that Berkowitz had sent out were shot on sight and chaos filled the streets of America’s greatest cities.

“We have no enemy to find us now.” Berkowitz said over the radio.

it is entertainment or the irrational rambling of a scared
American. I am not afraid; I am convinced that no one
will secure our future except us.
That is why I declare the main theme of Patriot Acts
in one key phrase:

No unconditional Talks
Just patriot Acts!
