  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  EXCERPT

  from

  THE END OF AMERICA

  “I’ve got something to say. Is anybody listening?

  I’ve a warning to post. Will anyone notice?

  It’s hopeless! Their ears are stuffed with wax—

  deaf as a post, blind as a bat.

  It’s hopeless! They’ve tuned out God.

  They don’t want to hear from me.

  But I’m bursting with the wrath of God.

  I can’t hold it in much longer.”

  (Jeremiah 6:10-11 – The Message)

  “For thus saith the Lord of hosts,

  the God of Israel;

  the daughter of Babylon is

  like a threshing floor,

  it is time to thresh her: yet a little while,

  and the time of her harvest shall come.”

  (Jeremiah 51:33 - KJV)

  Prologue

  December 19th

  Between the First Election and the First Inauguration

  Of the President

  The twelve men who were invited to attend the meeting at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport weren’t told the purpose of the meeting. They didn’t know who else would be present nor what would happen as a result of their conference. Each made his decision to attend solely because United States Senator Charles M. Quarter extended the invitation. Each invited guest was the national chairman or president of a gun rights organization, a veterans association, a Tea Party state group or a national conservative organization.

  Charles M. Quarter was one of the few American politicians that any of them thoroughly trusted. He had shown in his service in the United States Senate, representing Nebraska, that he was not only a patriotic American committed to the U.S. Constitution, he was also a man of rare courage. In an age in which elected officials are easily intimidated by the media, or by the Majority Leader or by the President, Senator Quarter couldn’t be moved from his core convictions by anyone. The ultimate demonstration of the character of the man was that he refused to accept any financial contribution from any Political Action Committee, from any person or company doing business with the federal government or any contribution above $500. He announced well in advance that he would keep his promise to only serve two terms in the Senate. He knew of many in Congress who had promised to self-limit their terms in office, but when they neared the end of their promised public service they couldn’t tear themselves away from the mother’s milk of power. Senator Quarter said no.

  The meeting was held near the airport in Chicago for security purposes. The airport is the site of over twenty four hundred daily flights from all over the nation and the world. Even if federal government agents had learned in advance of the meeting convened by Senator Quarter, which they did not, they would have been hard pressed to track each of the twelve men, who arrived on various flights and stayed in differing hotels in the area. The eleven invited attendees were only told by Senator Quarter that they were to dress casually and come to the Chuck E’ Cheese restaurant on Marlboro Street west of O’Hare. None were surprised at the location, as they knew after the recent disastrous Presidential election that security could be an issue.

  The meeting took place in the room normally reserved for small parties at the pizza and fun restaurant. It had been thoroughly swept for recording or transmitting devices. The Senator confirmed the sweep as he convened the meeting, “Gentlemen, anything we say here will be secure. The room’s been swept by my guys. Men, you’ll never know how much I appreciate your being here. Let me just get right into why we’re here. As you can tell from who’s here, this is a meeting of key Americans. Men who are critical to our nation’s future. I’m not exaggerating when I say that America’s survival as a free Republic rests in your hands.”

  Clever rejoinder remarks occurred to more than one attendee, but were quickly discarded, as the somber tone of the meeting didn’t lend itself to frivolity. Senator Quarter, surveying the somber faces of the leaders in front of him, most still reeling from the outcome of the recent presidential election, plunged in, “Men. We’re here today because our country has just elected, as most of you know, a Marxist as its President. If we don’t take the steps that I will shortly outline, we are doomed as a nation.”

  No one said a word. No one disputed the Senator’s words. Each man knew that the Senator’s description of the President-elect was accurate.

  “I know that many of you have been concerned about the nature and character of the man whom we have just elected. I know from speaking with all of you that you are well aware of his Communist background and training. After all, a few isolated facts did leak out in his campaign, though they were not widely reported in a
ny meaningful sense. I can assure you that anything that you may have heard pales in significance to the actual facts.

  “Here’s what’s going to happen in the four years after the President is sworn in to office for his first term this coming January. He’ll hire a staff who are also Marxist, or married to Communists or the children of Communists. Their goal in the next four years will be to keep the economy in negative territory. No real improvement in employment, in fact, they will repress actions leading to any significant increase in new jobs. Spend and tax, tax and spend. Take off from the mess left by the outgoing administration. Continue to bail out the major banks. Take over the auto industry, the college loan business, large insurance companies. Add as much federal debt as possible.”

  The head of the nation’s leading pro-family organization asked, “Senator. I don’t dispute what you’re saying, but won’t that lead to a dismal first term job performance and lead to the President losing the campaign for his second term?”

  “Good question, David. I haven’t come yet to what the President will do on the political side in order to guarantee re-election in four years. As I said, he will actively keep the economy weak so that in his second term he can accomplish his Marxist goals of wrecking the world’s largest capitalistic system. But to get to that second term, as you noted, he has to be re-elected. To insure four more years he will actively build the most formidable get out the vote effort in the nation’s history. He will raise at least a billion spent this year, dollars, much of which will not be reported nor ever tracked. He will buy with bribes elected officials in key voter registration and election offices across the country, in both parties. They will juggle the vote next time so that in some precincts the vote will be at or near 100% for the President.”

  “Senator, even the Russians don’t go that far.”

  “Just wait. You’ll see. The media, which is largely Marxist also, will slant its coverage of the campaign to label the opponent of the President as either stupid, as they did to Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin, or as rich and uncaring. No meaningful criticism of the President will be reported by the mainstream media. The mainstream media’ll call the election early, declare the matter over and not report any vote fraud allegations later as they emerge following the election.”

  “Senator,” asked a gun rights leader, “We know that the President-elect has a record of opposition to gun rights and the Second Amendment. When do you expect him to start the push to register, prohibit and take away our guns?”

  “Not in the first term, of course. But soon after his re-election he will latch onto any shooting of a public figure or any widely reported mass killing as a pretext to register and then dis-arm the nation. It happened in Australia. It can happen here, too.”

  The Missouri Tea Party chairman said, “Senator, none of this surprises any of us, of course. We knew what was coming. We tried to warn folks, but….but what do you propose we do about it? He’s the President….or he will be in about a month.”

  “Bob”, the Senator responded, “if the only purpose of this meeting was to warn you about what’s coming, I could have done that in a long memo. We’re here today to consider, and I hope, to adopt, an action plan. I’ve just outlined what will happen in his first term…..Oh, I left out a couple of other things that we can expect in the first term. They’ll pass a law to take over the health care industry. Hilde Calhoun couldn’t get the job done, but they will. That’ll be safe to do in the first term because they won’t make it effective until the second term. Voters will think they’re getting something from the government. They’ll pass out food stamps like confetti, give away cell phones and increase the number of people on welfare. All of these giveaways will add to the votes cast for his second four years.

  “OK, back to the action plan. The action plan is not about how to raise money and get out the vote and win a future election, because they will never, ever allow that happen. There will never, unless this action plan works, ever again be a free election in America after the next presidential election. The President was quite serious when he said that someday the nation will have a civilian defense force as well funded and well-armed as the military. He’ll staff up DHS or a similar agency, arm them and authorize them to have arrest powers. In his second term he will get a law passed to criminalize ‘hate speech’ and take away ‘hate weapons’. This will eventually stir up Americans who own guns. Once the facts eventually come out revealing his true past or his administration’s serial abuses of power, he’ll need to change the subject. To do that most effectively, I expect he will stage a Reichstag fire type of false or black flag event. It will look like its coming from conservatives or Tea Party people….or even religious Americans, but it will really be government agents behind the shootings or bombings and killings.”

  With a quizzical look, Bob replied, “Senator Quarter, I think I know the purpose of a false flag event like you’re describing, but what do you see happening as a result?”

  “The federal government will use the crisis to round up anyone who remotely opposes the President. Many will be imprisoned for ‘re-education’. Many will be eliminated. How do I know these things? It’s not just my sources deep in the government, but also my knowledge of the history of Marxist takeovers. This is what they do. They eliminate their opposition -usually with a bullet. Look at Russia, China, Cambodia, Estonia. What will happen in America will not differ markedly from what has happened at the bloody hands of Marxists in the past.”

  “OK, Senator,” the President of a national veterans association asked, “Let’s say we agree with everything you’ve just said. All of it. Tell us….what is the action plan? What are we going to do? We can’t let this joker, excuse me, this man we just elected President destroy our country.”

  “Agreed….Here’s the action plan. It has very little to do with guns. They’ll ban guns. We all know that. They’ll register gun owners so they can take away our guns, but with over two hundred million guns in the country, there will still be plenty of guns. It’s the use of those guns that’s the key. Mark my words. Not in the first term, but in the second term we will witness armed resistance in this country. There’ll be bloody violence in the streets if his misdeeds in office lead to anything close to an impeachment effort. But, we can discuss the use of firearms later. I’ve called you here today to share the most important thing I could possibly share to help us get our country back when it’s imploding in his second term. Communication -- the ‘C Word’. With it we can prevail, without it we’re sunk.”

  “Huh? What am I missing Senator?

  “Under the Patriot Act and other laws, including whatever Executive Orders may be handed down, we will not be able to communicate with other Americans by telephone, nor by mail nor by e-mail. All such forms of communication are either now being monitored and recorded under the Patriot Act or will be in the future. Consequently, any effort to organize even a four player poker game will be detected and will lead to whatever the feds want to do about it. Arrest the persons who send the communication….arrest the recipients….even arrest the landlady of the boarding house where the game was to be held. I jest, but recall that America hung from the neck the lady who ran the boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and his conspirators were said to have met.

  “Since firearms will still be available, even after they pass laws to take them away and in that there are uncounted numbers of Americans who would be willing to take up those arms to take back their country, as I said, the one thing we lack is the ability to communicate. If we can’t circulate our plans for armed resistance, then we will be picked off and arrested, if not outright killed. Look at the history of warfare. Secret codes have been around for centuries. I’m distributing to each of you an advanced digital security device. Essentially, you plug the device into your PC. It will automatically encode your e-mail to any of us. When you first open the device it will instruct you on how the code works then it will be irreversibly erased. After that any one of us will be able to send en
coded messages to any of the twelve.”

  “Senator, can’t the federal government crack open any encryption?”

  “These devices use chaos based encryption with nonlinear time delays. These are actually prototype devices from a government program that was never approved because of budget cuts. An insider who loves his country saved them from destruction and made them available to me. Using the device decryption would normally take about ten minutes for one page of text. Without the device it would take a top NSA cryptographer over a month to crack the same page. This gear is beyond state of the art.”

  “But, Senator, what if one of these devices falls into the wrong hands? That could be a….”

  “Not to worry. Without getting too technical, if the device is not used by one of us, it self-destructs. It melts. No one could obtain anything from it, once it’s destroyed. But once you have received and decoded tactical plans for armed resistance you will be able to pass the plans on to any other number of resisters. As I said earlier, with this means of communication we can prevail….we will be able to take our country back, when the time is right, once enough Americans understand what’s happened to America. We’ll be up against the armed might of the world’s strongest nation. It will be no small task, but we will have to do what we will have to do. God bless our country. Enjoy your pizza, gentlemen.”

  OVAL OFFICE - WHITE HOUSE

  Vice President Hilde Calhoun felt like a school child summoned to the principal’s office. How long now, she wondered, had the President made her sit in his Oval Office? By herself, twiddling her thumbs. Where was he, anyway? What does he expect me to do, wait all day? If he thinks he can intimidate me by making me just sit here, well, then….maybe he’s right. Wilbur told Hilde that he thought the President had found out what Wilbur did to try to convince the Commandant to use the Marines to remove the President from office. If he knows, Hilde thought, I’m done. But the Commandant’s dead, apparently at his own hand, so how could the President know anything about what Wilbur did….or tried to do? Come on, how long….
