“I’ll get you an update in 15 minutes.”

President Obsma announces he’s signed a new executive order, to lower the nation debt and enable the country to provide support for the needy, executive order, 13709 forbids the private ownership of gold and silver coins or bars. All precious metal coins and bars owned by Americans are to be turned over to the Department of the Treasury within two calendar weeks. The Federal Government will pay the amount of $12.00/ounce for silver and $500/ounce for gold. These prices reflect adjusted market prices and may not have any relation to pre-executive order 13709 market prices. Anyone who refuses to turn in their coins and bars will be fined $5,000 per coin or bar. Executive Order 13709 also orders the records of all coin and precious metal dealers and stores to be turned over to the IRS and the DHS.

“Brad, have you seen the latest executive order?”

“You know that man makes me ill, I try not to listen to him.”

“Brad, you better pay attention to this one, the President just outlawed private ownership of gold and silver.”

“He WHAT??”

“He ordered the records of all coin dealers turned over to the IRS; they’ll know everyone who bought coins or bars from agents and dealers. They’ll search our homes if we don’t turn in our silver and gold.”

How can they? There must be billions of coins in the market.”

“He’ll get enough of them; he’ll go after the large inventories in the stores and those whom records show purchased large quantities purchased.”

“Damn, first our guns, now our silver and gold, what next? Our teeth fillings?”

“If they’re gold or silver he might have your teeth pulled to get them.”

Chapter 13

The public reaction to the President’s order making it illegal to own precious metals quickly turns violent. People refuse to turn in their precious metals; coin stores are broken into by mobs who smash display cases so they can grab coins. The FBI and DHS start breaking into coin stores for their customer records. Some coin store owners shred and burn their customer lists, many place powerful magnets on their computer hard drives or drill holes in the drives making them unusable. DHS agents drag many store owners out of their stores taking them directly to jail for destroying evidence. People bury their coins in their yards. While the public is reeling from the order against owning precious metals, the FBI and DHS start demanding banks open their safe-deposit boxes for government inspection. Anytime the agents locate precious metals; they take them, leaving behind a script to be redeemed at a local DHS office. When a person tries to claim their payment from the script, they are arrested for hiding their assets.

This time the media tried to report the truth, many of the elites are hit by the precious metal buyback. Every time the media tries to report the truth, the DHS censors reject the report. Twice reporters are taken off the air in mid-sentence by the censors. One station provides a signer for the deaf, in reality the message sent is a warning to everyone who can understand the hand movements to hide their coins and jewelry.

The Federal Government’s firearm buyback caused an uproar; it was offset by the tax-free payments which helped many put food on their families’ tables. Many hid their firearms selling back old or broken, unusable weapons. When the EBT cards failed the lower income were most affected, with the precious metal thief the middle class and elites are the most impacted. The elites aren’t used to being touched by the government, they are used to being the pampered, they voted for President Obsma. They felt if they supported him he would return the favor and support them. They didn’t realize this man wasn’t a normal politician who could be easily manipulated by donations; he had a master plan to transform America into a socialist state, a state that torn down everything the normal elites lived for. Power and influence changed hands; the President increased government programs to reduce the upper and middle classes, to broaden the lower middle class so that there would be broad income equality.

Instead of trying to raise the lower classes, it was much easier to lower the upper, all the President had to do was increase their taxes, take away their special tax credits and seize their assets. In a single year the numbers of super-rich, the so-called 1% saw their numbers decrease by 40%. President Obsma wanted everyone to be dependent on the government, this way he would have total control over every aspect of everyone’s lives. Obsma is quickly becoming the first American dictator. He thought it would take both his two terms and his wife’s two terms to get close to his goal, he never realized he could win the poker game with a pair of deuces. He bluffed everyone else at the table to fold allowing him to win.

Not everyone folded, the few, the proud, the strong refused to walk away from the table, they knew to walk away, and fold meant America would die and never rise again. They decided to fight back. They refused to lay down and give up their personal freedoms. In secret, small groups of people planned and plotted fighting back. They knew they were out armed; they knew the Federal Government listened to every communication, having electronic eyes and ears everywhere. They met face to face in secret. They vetted every member to limit the chance of government spies being admitted to their groups.

General Brownstone met with his commanders. Most of the patriot leaders are ex-military; some are current military commanders; some are militia leaders and a couple are everyday people who’ve had enough. The General stands; walking to the front of the room to address the group, “My friends the time has come. Congress is fighting among themselves, they want to pass articles of impeachment; however, they each want to be named the next President, until they can come to an agreement no vote will be taken, every day that passes the President gets bolder, he signs numerous executive orders daily, he rules by degree. My friends if we don’t take action now we’ll lose America, the people, are beaten; they are ready to surrender their last visages of freedom for a daily meal and a roll of toilet paper. If we don’t turn the tide now, we’ll never be able to save our country. The President’s Citizen Defense Forces are growing daily; he’s arming them with military weapons. They are untrained in the arts of war, they only know terror and bullying if we wait too long they will become trained in how to fight a real war. Every day our parts situation gets worse; the factories are shut down; our logistics is becoming a problem. Therefore, I say we strike now. It’s been two months since the “Hands-Around-DC” march. A month since any serious attacks against the DHS, the virus inserted into the DHS network disabled them for weeks; we were able to change names on their most-wanted lists, we were able to divert supplies to our warehouses. We were able to download their plans and insert faulty ones into their system. The virus shipped us many of their weapons and ammo. I suggest the following course of action;

1. We need to isolate DC, to do so, we need to cut all communications in and out of DC, and we can do this by jamming their satellite communications and taking over the telecommunications offices and server farms.
   
2. We turn out the lights in DC, cut the electrical power for DC, taking out the three main generation stations and the five substations that supply DC with all of their electrical power.
   
3. To ensure they are stymied I propose we launch an EMP pulse armed cruise missile at DC, this should take down their backup generators and all of their computers.
   
4. We block access to the city; main battle tanks will block every bridge.
   
5. We fly armed UAVs to attack any convoy trying to break in or out of the city.
   
6. We send Special Forces to secure the national treasures like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
   
7. We send Special Forces to start taking and holding the maze of tunnels that connects the various government buildings.
   
8.  
   

We’ll squeeze DC into surrendering if necessary we’ll starve them into surrender. There’s only a total of a few days food in the city.

“General, if we starve the city, we’ll be turning the people against us.”

“Colonel, most of the people in the city, will never support us, they are the worker bees of the government; they are some of the President’s strongest supporters, it’s going to be very hard on many of us to fight our own people; however, I don’t see any other choice.”

“I’m going to try a Hail Mary mission, tomorrow night we’re going to send four SEAL teams into the city to attempt to capture the President, I’m hoping some in the Secret Service will change sides if not, it’s going to be a bloodbath. If the SEALs succeed this is all over, if the Secret Service fights we may be facing a bloody civil war. The DHS is, of course, on the President’s side, his mob the CDF will fight for him to their death. Many of his base will oppose us, I don’t expect most of his base has the balls to oppose us with force. However, we should be prepared for some to fight us with any means they have. If the capture of the President fails, we’re going to end up in another civil war with American fighting American.  A second civil war is going to be much worse than the first civil war; this is going to be similar to the war for independence, where neighbor fought neighbor. Then only 3% rose up to fight the crown, today I think we’re going to be lucky to get 1% of the 300 hundred million to take up arms. Too many are used to living off of some government program. Today too many have become soft; too many don’t understand sacrifice.

238 years  ago our people knew how to live off the land, today if the power goes out for an hour they panic, almost none are prepared for the horror and cost a real battle in their neighborhoods is going to be.”

“General, do you really think the people will fight us?”

“Colonel, I’m sorry to say yes, I believe many are going to fight us, to many just want to be left alone or have the government give them everything. Remember the story of the 29-year-old in California, who spent his day's surfing. He drove a $60,000 Cadillac Escalade; he ate lobster; he didn’t want a real job, and he lived on various government programs. Our tax dollars are supported a lifestyle many of us in the military will never have. Many of our service members need EBT cards to feed their families while this young punk lives as the 1% on our tax dollars. These people don’t want their lives turned upside down. They may not take up arms against us; however, we can be sure they won’t support us, they’ll turn us into the government forces, and they won’t provide support for us in the field. These people have grown lazy on the government dole. The only way we can win is to convince them freedom, self-respect, and personal pride is more important than a government handout. We have to appeal to the people’s desire to want a better life for their children.”

“General, do you think Russia and China are going to get involved?”

“Mr. Jones, do you mean will they get involved in our internal issues? Or will they exploit our issues?”

“Sir, both.”

“Good questions, our esteemed friends have already started dumping dollars in an effort to collapse the dollar’s value and harm what left of our economy. I expect we’ll see Russia move into Europe and China take over most of Asia; it would not surprise me to see China and Japan form an allegiance. If we fail, Russia will control all of Europe and most likely much of the Middle East; China will control all of Asia and the Pacific all the way to Hawaii. It would not surprise me if China demands Hawaii be handed over to them. After Russia digests Europe and the Middle East, they will most likely attack Alaska.”

“General, that’s a formula for the world’s worst nightmare. The world will be plunged into another dark age.”

“Which is why we have to win and win quickly so America can again protect the world’s freedom. I’m happy to report I’ve been in contact with Anonymous, starting tonight we’ll have their full support.”

“General, how did you contact them and can we trust them?”

“Contacting them was easy, I called their advertised 800 number, as far as trusting them, we have to, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or at least for today. They want some of the same things we do, today we’ll be allies, just remember what President Reagan said, “Trust but verify” we’ll keep our eyes open. For now, they can provide us with the control of the communication's networks and the internet. They’ll provide us with the ability to get out a message in front of the masses. For once we’ll be telling the full story to the people.”

“General, do you think the DHS will use deadly force against the people?”

“Mr. Sampson, does a bear crap in the woods?”

“General, Anonymous doesn’t want you to attack Washington with an EMP weapon. Such a weapon will damage the server farms and tens of thousands of computers. As your partner in the retaking of America, we have to request you allow us to block the government’s communications networks, or use your jamming planes. We view the use of EMP as an attack against us.”
