The Homeland Agency of Defense was comprised of many ex-Black Water commanders and quickly filled up with mercenaries from around the world whose primary allegiance was to the President... as long as oil currency and a promise of land free of nuclear contamination was offered. The Homeland Agency of Defense attacked the Middle East, Canada and Mexico. The European Union quickly collapsed and for reasons beyond my comprehension China and Europe did not or could not fire its nukes at the US or Russia.
Recent Presidents love war! There was the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on terrorism, the war to end oil dependency, the war against gays, foreigners, atheists and actors...my musings are suddenly interrupted by the voice on the News.
Welcome again to the Homeland Network News. Today has been labeled Black Thursday. Despite recent austerity measures the Dow has plummeted to 1800 on fears that OPEC Nations, including Mexico and Canada will issue sanctions today against the United States for the recent threats issued by President Bush to take military action in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Oil prices have soared to $500 per barrel and it is estimated that a single gallon of gasoline will top $25 this Fall. Groups of fringe lunatics calling themselves the American Resistance Forces have taken to the street swearing they will take back this country, seeming to forget that the President and the ruling Senate were legally elected. This movement has been growing since the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court were disbanded and is rumored to be arming themselves.

I can't imagine what you are thinking! For crying out loud, the emergency manager cut all power to citizens in Michigan weeks ago until everyone signs the Pledge! You didn't want to buy a generator claiming the gas prices are too high! So yeah, I am being just a little bit bitchy okay!?! Your leg is really starting to stink, didn't you dress it"?
"Yeah I did my best" I say. "...but it must have turned gangrene anyway. You are right honey, I am going to use the time I have left to make a statement". As a fan of Classical myth I've often felt akin to Cassandra, I have tried my best to warn people that disaster is coming, but it seems that I am a very small person indeed and no one really reads what I have to say or if they do, they lack the talent to get others to believe that my opinions have any value...or maybe I am like a ghost, able to see, hear and feel, but unable to make my thoughts known.
