Re-Revolution 2010 (revised x1)

On a cold November, 132 battered and sea weary passengers gazed upon a stretch of beach. Though wooded with oak and pine it was barren, uncivilized, and foreign. The untamed landscape that lay before them, though frightening, was to become their salvation. A new Democratic system of government had been agreed upon and signed. This new concept would allow new freedoms, equality, and place governmental power within the hands of the people. This was America, November 1620.

Throughout the years, the hard winters, these Americans would survive through determination and innovation. These common people would create a new country, fight the British empire, breaking away from their alliance, and gaining their Independence. 163 years, in 1776, after their first realization of freedom on that uncivilized stretch of beach, the Declaration of Independence was created. Free from tyranny, the United State would continue to evolve. Living by the Bill of Rights, the people would exercise their rights and bring about equality for all colors, creed, and sex. Their struggles were not always easy but the people won and the United State grew steadily into a world power.

For 210 years Americans took pride in their country. They fought for their rights, for equality, and they fought to maintain their power to exists within the world. As equality, freedoms, and opportunities appeared to improve, Americans became complacent. With innovation and growth, came increasing demands both within the government and domestically. The people, placing faith and trust in their elected officials, turned politics over to their watchful government and focused on personal development and financial success. No longer looking at the larger picture, groups formed to advocate for numerous localized causes,  often, exploiting and distorting the Bill of Rights. Meanwhile the government worked on its own agenda, parties melding together and gradually appearing to only differentiating by name. Secret meetings in the 1960s dubbed the Bilderberg Meetings, began taking place. Composed of numerous world leaders they devised a world agenda. Though little media coverage was devoted or allowed at these meetings, it was speculated that a United Nation was being formed. A monopolized world government.

Near the end of 2001, a terrorist attack on U.S. soil followed by an Anthrax scare ignited a forgotten fragility.  A war on terrorism was proclaimed. Two months later, Bruce Ivins a leading U.S. microbiologist was found dead as a result of apparent suicide. Ivins was under investigation for allegations of his involvement with the Anthrax attacks. A trend appeared to pick up pace as scientists all over the world began dying or disappearing, many under questionable circumstances. By the end of 2009, estimates ranging between 88 and 100 scientist were reported dead, all having backgrounds in biological, chemical, and nuclear warfare. Media and conspiracy theorists linked these mysterious deaths and disappearances to the outbreak of the Anthrax and a U.S government conspiracy.

As the economy crashed, record numbers of Americans found themselves loosing their homes, jobs, and some taking the lives of their families and themselves. Distracted, a sleeping government went into action unseen, unnoticed under the guise of humanitarian and economic recovery. For the people.

In 2009, America, again, became divided and at the center of the worlds attention by the election of the United State's first black President. His radical and open claims of fundamental changes in the U.S. demanded attention and created a strong division within the United States, with extremist holding up both ends and very few citizens holding middle ground. Propaganda from both of these groups engulfed all forms of media and even entered the class rooms of the American youth.

The government seized it's opportunity. Bills with radical reform were submitted to the house and congress quickly. These complex proposals were lengthy and difficult to understand in their original form, if and when they were even made available to the public. Many Americans did not bother to attempt interpretation but instead allowed the media to spoon feed them their points of view. Through the internet, television, and radio, various and conflicting interpretations were sold to the the Public. Most Americans bought the interpretation that caused the least internal conflict and thus allowed them to continue moving forward with their day to day lives. Health care reform, international trade, U.S. banking, environmental Cap and Trade, government bail outs, stimulus payments, Guantanamo Bay, Education reform and more promoted more confusions, stress, and unrest with the American people. Rallies and marches began to take place. Professionalism within the White House its self collapsed.

As the U.S and the world attempted to adjust to the economy and the radical new U.S. President, a pandemic hit. First called Swine Flu, H1N1 hit Mexico, quickly crossing the border into the U.S. and over the seas to every country of the world. The deadly chemically engineered virus was not much different than the traditional flu in most healthy adults. Others, with "underlying health conditions" were not as fortunate.
As schools closed down and a surge on protective face masks emerged, the media was once again consumed with new conspiracies.


With the world closely watching the progression of H1N1, health care reform was at the center of attention in the United States. Already overwhelmed with the economic crisis, war, pandemic, and radical propaganda, Americans wanted nothing more than relief. With the people already overwhelmed and confused, the chaos continued. Fears of a socialized government and the government's out-of-control spending increased throughout the U.S. and led to the 9 -12 Patriots Rally. Though surprisingly little media coverage was provided, reports estimated that anywhere from 450 thousand to 2 million Americans marched to the West Steps of the Capitol Building. Participants were a mixture of backgrounds, wealth, and party affiliation who marched together as Americans to have their government hear that they had had enough.

The Patriots Rally appeared significant, but at only a maximum of  .66% of the population, it was not enough. No official response to the rally was made by government. However, President Obama did respond in a Toledo Blade interview, "I was always a big believer in - when I was doing organizing before I went to law school - that focusing on concrete, local, immediate issues that have an impact on people's lives is what really makes a difference and that having protests about abstractions [such] as global capitalism or something, generally, is not really going to make much of a difference.". So, business went on as usual. The President continued to push forward with health care reform and on September 20th he was aired on 5 morning shows with back to back interviews promoting his health care plan. At the U.N. G-20 summit on September 24th and 25th it was decided that the stimulus plan would move forward and a transition from fossil fuels would begin. He addressed physicians on October 5th. Without providing estimated costs, he painted a picture of health care for everyone with no denials from maximums or preexisting conditions.

At the roots of the system, were the people. As they watched big governments plan their future with plans somewhere near Maslow,s 4th tier they were still at the bottom. These plans meant money, yes there would breaks, but those dollars would be more than absorbed in the increase in taxes and mandatory health insurance. As for big business, changes meant money for them as well. With unemployment skyrocketing and small businesses being forced to close their doors, how were business's to meet these new environmental challenges without further cuts? How were families who were barley meet their basic needs, to afford higher taxes and mandatory health insurance?

By Christmas of 2009, numerous grass root organizations such as the Tax Day Tea Party and Freedom 21 aligned forces. Having a frame work already in place, they gave the President what he had suggested, they began to focus on specific strategies. With the common belief that government had reached it allowable maximum in control, that taxation was out of control, and Americans freedoms were at high risk, an impressive number of Americans joined forces. Together, they were able to quickly establish a structured "Peoples' Government". Committees were established representing specific concerns. Local chapters representing each each committee were then created within every state.

By March of 2010, little had changed for the better. Millions of persons worldwide had been lost to the pandemic. In the U.S., citizens of all ages, colors, and creed were targeted. New hospitals were opened to house the infected. Though many otherwise healthy individuals were claimed by H1N1, almost all individuals infected with HIV, AIDs, Influenza, and most immune deficiency disorder were killed. Coincidentally as promised, a rapid improvement in the U.S.. governments health care budget was also becoming clear.  H1N1 was fast and alleviating long-term medicaid/ medicare expenditures that would have been life long for many of the victims and their "underlying disorders". In addition, the virus was eliminating entire populations of persons in underdeveloped countries, reducing, and in some cases eliminating humanitarian efforts previously given by the United States.

Further improvement, though statistically small, was seen at the local market place. Increasing numbers of Americans were refusing foreign products, and retail establishments were stocking their shelves with more American made merchandise. Small American factories like Texas Jeans were growing, opening up new factories, and offering more jobs. The resulting influx in American businesses not only began to create a drive for employment but began a reduction in cost for consumers. Foreign owned corporate farming, no longer cost effective, began to decline and families took back the land for the local distribution of goods. 

The goal of health care reform remained tied up in congress with the Environmental Cap and Trade along side. An alert America had begun turning out in record numbers at local level elections and changing the governmental structure of the individual states. The change was a motivator but appeared to have little effect on big government. With the health care plan still being debated most of the population feared that it's passing of a standardized/ socialized system, would be the stepping stone to a powerful government that traditional peaceful rights of opposition would no longer be able to fight.


A fear, whether propagated or reality based, continued to strengthen in the core of the U.S. people. A fear that the long-term goal of this government was the creation of a powerful U.S. government that would quickly move forward to uniting the world under one ultimate and very powerful regime. Basic psychology, humans always want more.

However, a radical president had awakened a lazy U.S. population. The president, like those before him had an agenda, one handed to him by powerful check books. Obama was not as patient as his predecessors and in lieu of quietly passing laws he tried to sell the agenda to the people. Intentional or not, he allowed the population to clearly see the future that had been planned and was slowly being carried out in the U.S. for over 50 years.

This awakening delayed the health-care reform, locking it up in congress for almost two years and preventing the improvement in health care expenditures to be attributed to the plan. Instead it became clear that H1N1 had systematically eliminated those causing the most strain on the system itself. This awakening prevented the government buy-out of banks, it created an alert America who began micromanaging their city governments, and calling them out on fraud, misrepresentations, and minor infringements. Americans boycotted foreign products, illegals began finding it more difficult to find work in the states, and gradually, after much anarchy, an improvement was seen in the U.S. economy by the basic laws of supply and demand!  Entire states with newly elected governments stood up and refused cooperation, forcing big government to listen. As fast as the swine flu engulfed the world, Americans took back the states! 

A true revolution by the people for the people. With the threat of impeachment, the president willingly stepped down, a new government was elected and a new reform put into action - the restoration of The Constitution of the United States of America and it's original untainted Bill of Rights. In addition a new committee was established within the White House, Mayflower. A tribute to those first Americans and all of those after who made the United States something to be proud of. Devised of elected locals from non political backgrounds, a representative from each state was allowed to serve only 1 four year term. The board was charged with watching "Big Brother" and insuring governmental power never again outweighed the power of the people.
