At one of the meetings John was holding up a
twenty-dollar silver coin when a man stood up, “Question?” he announced, “Can you protect us?”
“Yes, I can gather a thousand men and women who can stop anything an attacking force
can throw at us. I can move them anywhere within a few minutes.” John shared.
The man continued to stand and looked around at his fellow delegates, “I move that this
meeting becomes our convention to establish a Constitutional Congress. I, Stennis
Smith of California, Co
unty Executive, make a motion that we appoint John Taylor
as our President of the Western States, British Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii.”
There was a stunning quiet for a minute. Then from the left came, “I, William
Taylor, from Oregon, second that motion.” From the upper balcony came, “I, Jerry
Green, from Nevada, also second that motion.” Down in front, “I, Harry
Jones, the newly appointed Governor of Hawaii, also second that motion.”
All total, there was a group of a dozen people who stood
up and seconded the motion. Almost every
state represented had someone second the motion. Patty had joined the session and was taking
notes. Peter was helping her with the names. They realized what an important step was being taken.
Patty looked at her cell phone with only one active bar and read the date, September 29, 2018.
“Stennis Smith, please join me on the stage. You started this, I would like to turn it over to you
to finish it,” John stated as he sat on his stool. The doors to the
performing arts center opened and
almost a hundred volunteers entered to witness the proceedings. Reporter Seth Wilson would get
a copy of everything that went on today that would add understandings to the pictures he
was taking for posterity. He was tickled to death and published a special edition of
his newspaper. This was one edition that would never get to wrap fish or start a fire.
As people entered, John signaled many of them to join him on the stage. He soon had thirty-five
looking f
or chairs sitting beside and around him. Jenny and Margaret were the last responding
to a text message from Peter. The message was simply, “You have to be here, NOW!”
Two latecomers also showed up and walked in, Admiral Wiggins and his wife Eddie. When John saw
them, he motioned for them to come up on stage. Stennis Smith stood at the podium waiting
for the Performing Arts Center to settle, “I have made a motion to appoint John Taylor
as our President of the Western States, British Columbia,
Alaska and Hawaii. There have
been a dozen or more seconds to that motion.” “I have a comment.” A man stood up, “I believe we
need to agree that this a convention to establish a Constitutional Congress. I would like to
see a motion and a second on that first. I am Jason Jeffery; I was a Professor of
Law at the UW Law School in Seattle.” “Yes, I’m sure you are correct. Do I hear a motion
for that?” Stennis Smith nodded in agreement. “I’m Peter Hastings from Denver. I make
a motion to make
this a convention to establish a Constitutional Congress.”
There were 17 seconds to the motion. Patty and Peter were again busy recording the names.
Jenny gasped. She hadn’t been paying attention as she’d said something to Margaret. Patty
had only shared with her that they were taking important votes.
“Ladies and gentlemen, are there any Senators, Congressmen or
Governors present today?” Stennis asked. Harry Jones stood, “I’ve only been Governor of
Hawaii for a few days. It was because of Joh
n Taylor’s actions and demonstrations that convinced
me to accept such an appointment. When John took me to God, I realized then that the states were
going to come back together. I also realized that we cannot wait for someone else to do what
needs to be done. We have to do it ourselves.” “Thank you, Governor Jones, I agree! Are there
any others?” When Stennis got no other response, “It truly looks like God has removed our past
government, so we can start anew. Any discussion concerning the
motion to make this a convention
to establish a Constitutional Congress?” Everything was quiet.
“Let’s vote. All in favor please stand.” Stennis watched as the entire
assembly stood, including everyone on the stage, “Please be seated.” Stennis waited
for all to be seated, “If any oppose, please stand and voice your objections.”
No one stood, “Patty, please note that the motion passed with a unanimous vote of yes.”
Stennis laughed, “We have only done this once before in our history. Professo
r Jeffery, is
this a good time to vote for a President?” “As good as any Mr. Smith!” Professor
Jeffery shared, also laughing. “How many years?” A man stood.
“Who is asking?” “Henry Morgan, County Executive
for Flathead County, Montana.” “Sir, I suggest you chair a committee for us to
make that determination. Then tomorrow you can propose a motion regarding the question you
just asked.” Stennis got agreement around. “Okay, any volunteers willing to join me
on a committee to work this out me
et me after dinner in one of the meeting rooms
in the hotel.” Henry Morgan announced. “How about the Constitution and Bill
of Rights?” another voice spoke up. “When we are completed with this motion,
let’s agree to make a motion concerning the Constitution and Bill of Rights.”
The assembly clapped their approval. “Any other discussion?” Stennis waited for
all quiet, “Those in favor of the motion to make John Taylor our President please stand.”
Stennis looked around and realized the only pe
rson sitting in the Performing Arts Center
was John Taylor, “Mr. President, please stand.” John Taylor stood, still shaking his head.
After several minutes of applause, Stennis asked for all to be seated. When all were seated,
Stennis asked, “If any opposes the appointment, please stand and voice your concerns.” No one
moved, Stennis turned around and looked at Patty, “Are you keeping an official record?”
“I guess I am.” Patty gulped. “Good! Please note that no one stood to
oppose the appoin
tment. President Taylor, I turn this back over to you.”
“Thank you!” John moved toward the podium and waited a bit for the applause
to die down, “If I heard correctly there was a question concerning the Constitution and Bill
of Rights.” John looked around, “Long ago when I became a Marine, I vowed to our former government
to uphold and defend our Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I do not see any
reason to change that now! Do I hear a motion?” Stennis Smith stood, “I Ste
nnis Smith of Modoc
County, California makes a motion to adopt, uphold and defend our Constitution and Bill of
Rights against all enemies foreign and domestic.” Again, many others followed Stennis in their
voicing agreement to second the motion. “Any discussion?” There was quiet until a
question, “Does the motion include all 27 amendments to the Bill of Rights?”
“YES!” came from Stennis. “If you agree with the motion to adopt, uphold
and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights including
all 27 amendments of the former
USA as ours, please stand,” John advised. Jenny took John’s hand and he leaned down,
and they kissed as she stood next to him. “Please be seated.” When all were, “Is
there anyone that opposes the previous motion? Please stand!” John saw no movement. He
turned to Patty, “We see no opposition to the motion to adopt the US Constitution and Bill
of Rights with all 27 amendments as our own.” John turned back to the assembly, “Will all
the County Executives and Of
ficers of Regional Districts Stand.” About 300 people stood. “When
I am sworn in as your President, I would like to appoint you as temporary members to the new
House of Representatives until elections can be completed. You are going to be the legislative
branch until elected individuals can replace you. Please be seated.” Everyone clapped their
approval, “Apart from Professor Jeffrey, do we have any other individuals with law
degrees in the assembly? If yes, please stand.” The Professor and
two other men stood.
“Gentlemen, can you meet with me? I want to discuss with you short term appointments as our
Supreme Court Justices until the electorate has had a chance to meet and take their positions
as Senators and Representatives in our new government.” John got agreement from all three.
“What I want to do right this minute is to return us to the agenda that I had set up for this
morning. I plan to pay each of you 11 ounces of gold and 25 ounces of silver. This is what
we are defi
ning as one year of pay. I endow our new government with forty million
ounces of gold and four hundred million ounces of silver.” John looked up at the
control booth, “Is this being recorded?” When he got the thumbs up, “Patty will be the
one to transcribe it.” John looked around and then proceeded, “I invite everyone to the stadium
Saturday afternoon. I will present you with an acceptance speech that I pray is worthy of
what we need to accomplish. Volunteers go into action.” John turned an
d hugged Jenny.
Sixteen tables were set up, eight inside the center and eight outside the center in
the hallway. The reps were having their information taken, home, position, education,
and the number of people in their area. Every rep got a nice buffalo hide bag, 11 gold coins,
and 25 silver coins. Tomorrow afternoon, they would receive a document promising to back their
greenbacks with gold or silver at 10% for 90 days. John realized it would create two monetary
systems. As the Greenbacks
disappeared, gold and silver would be established at the Omak rate. It
would also explain that when a county government proclaims a county bank, there would be sent to be
on deposit a minimum of a portion of the gold and silver by the new United States government. The
remainder of the gold and silver would be held in the Government’s coffers in Omak as a reserve.
John got on the mic once more. “The people have butchered a buffalo for us. Our lunch today
is going to feature buffalo steaks. T
hey are being offered behind the hotel for those
that are getting tired of fish. We will also have a buffalo stew as an option
today. We will also have a few salmon on the barbecue for those who are interested.”
“Best food I’ve had in a long time. Thank you, President John!” A voice rang out and a
lot of agreement and clapping followed it. John, Jenny, Johnny, and Teresa met
with General Williams, Chief Frank, and Admiral Wiggins. Peter and Patty also stayed
on the stage, “Congratulations P
resident Taylor.” General Chet Williams laughed as he saw
the sour look on John’s face, “Okay, Okay!” “Can I join you?” Harry Jones from Hawaii asked.
“Yes, welcome to the formation of the New United States, Harry.” Jenny laughed.
“Didn’t see that coming.” John shared. When I first met you, God told me you were to
become President.” the Admiral looked puzzled. “I knew it would happen, but not how it would
happen.” John shook his head. The Admiral smiled. “I did!” Patty smiled, “Got
the sense
not to tell.” “I did too. Thank you, John, now Hawaii can
become legitimate again.” Harry Jones shared, “China has been trying to annex us again.
This will help in giving them one loud no!” John looked to the Admiral and
got a nod that this was correct, “What is the status of Japan and Taiwan?”
“Japan is gone except for the northernmost island Hokkaido. China is a mess. Tens of
millions of dead, from the earthquakes. We believe the government of Taiwan and
much of the landmass is also gone
. China’s government appears to still be there. Many of
the landmasses and islands around the Philippine Sea are gone,” Admiral Wiggins shared.
“Anything we can do?” John Taylor asked. “It would be like putting a band-aid on an
amputation.” Admiral Wiggins shook his head no. “I sent Tony a message that his
father just became the President of the New United States.” Peter shared.
“Thank you, Peter.” John looked at the General, “We need to get Spokane up and functioning again.”
“Do you think de
ploying two thousand men to the city on Monday will be
sufficient?” The General asked. “Sounds about right, do you need me?” John asked.
“Not for Spokane. We need you to contact the Commandant of the Marine Corp. If you can get
the backing of the Navy and the Marine Corps, then a trip to Fort Knox is in order, Mr.
President.” General Williams suggested. John frowned again.
“Mr. President, you will need respect from all of us to
pull this off.” General Williams whispered, “This is just anothe
r step, is it not?”
John nodded in defeat. “Does the New United States have the backing
of the Navy?” John looked to Admiral Wiggins. “Mr. President, since you introduced me to God,
I have been one of your greatest supporters. I asked the crews of The Lincoln’s armada if
they would support a new government of the United States if it restored the Constitution
and Bill of Rights. That was one of the first considerations. You don’t know how much you
are going to get paid, but it will be under
a Constitutional Government with the Bill of Rights.
I will follow you and my men assure me that they will follow me. It will take some time to feel
out the rest of the Navy. My last contact with the Marine Corp gave me the sense that something
is very wrong there.” Admiral Wiggins advised, “I agree with General Williams. Might I also
suggest contacting the Army and Air Force?” “Thank you, Admiral.” John saluted the
Admiral, “I also agree with General Williams. Can you figure out who the top
generals are and where I can locate them?” “Yes, sir!”
John looked up and saw that the three men with law degrees were approaching the stage
per his earlier invitation. “Welcome gentlemen.” “Mr. President!” the three men came to a
stop and stated their introduction together. “Be seated gentleman,” John suggested as Peter
and others brought more chairs into the circle. “Every place I’ve ever done accounting, the job
included being the watchdog for the organization. I’ve gotten people fired
for violating either
laws or the policies and procedures of the organization I was working for. I’ve also been
fired twice. I’ve made people upset, made them afraid because what they wanted to do was either
against the law or against the company’s rules. They knew, if I were there, they would end up
being terminated. I see the Supreme Court as our watchdog. I don’t know how the Supreme Court
before the Earth Changes broke, but it truly didn’t appear to be working. The Patriot Act was
the m
ost blatantly anti-constitutional document in the history of governments. Preceded only by
Hitler’s legal attack on the Jewish community where a government took so many rights away
from some or all its people. Does anybody know why the system failed us?” John asked.
All three lawyers nodded their heads. “Identify yourself and give
us your best response.” “Mr. President, as you heard, I’m Jason Jeffery.
I’m a professor or was a professor of law at the UW Law School in Seattle. Every year I as
ked
my students pretty much the same question you just did. The Supreme Court has been broken
for seventeen years. It started with the anthrax poisonings in 2001 just before
9/11. The Supreme Court was terrified, and they simply stopped functioning.
“Mr. President, I’m Steven Jackson. I’ve had Professor Jeffery’s class. I got an A on my
final paper. My paper was based on the premise that if an enemy of the state wanted to take over
the U.S. government, it would look like what we saw during
the Treece administration. I detailed
every irregularity during that time in America, to define every loss of rights. It all started
when the Supreme Court was threatened with the elimination of its very existence. Just before
the Earth Changes, I read the Treece Family was worth three to five trillion dollars. I believe
they have accomplished what they set out to do.” “Mr. President, I’m Howard Blake. I’m a Stanford
graduate. I was still in school, working on my Doctor of Juridical Science
when the changes took
place. Early on I became very angry about what went on during and after 9/11. We lost many more
of our rights, it was simply not needed at this time to accomplish the Treece family’s goals.
I knew they had achieved trillionaire status on the world stage.” Howard looked at Steven,
“I did not realize they had reached three to five trillion. I agree with what has been said
and am willing to bet that the three of us could fill a weeklong conference of what went on
and wha
t needed to be corrected. In a way, this is a godsend to be able to start fresh
again. I also found a report that Papa Treece was found in the School Book Depository Building
on the day of Kent’s assassination in 1963. I have also read Treece was the paymaster for that
event. This was not a single act, but a planned war on the American public to eliminate
government by the people, for the people!” “Gentlemen, have any of you been members of the
local or state bar associations?” John asked.
They responded in order, “No!” “No!” “Yes! It was
early on in my career and then with the whole 9/11 issue, I became so very angry at the inaction by
those professional bodies that I resigned as a form of protest.” Professor Jeffery shared, “I
would love to start an American version of the Bar Association devoted to the Constitution
of the US, in alignment with the president. It would require the members to swear an
oath to support and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We need the
legal
body of America to stand in one voice, loud and clear when a bill comes before Congress
that erodes the rights of the American people.” “Thank you, professor, I’m hearing what I
wanted to hear.” John looked around the circle, “What does everybody think?”
“I think they understand the issues. They need to be fully trained,
so they fear no one.” Jenny advised. “Mr. President, what was the Bar
Association question about?” Johnny asked his dad with a great big smile.
“Members of the bar c
an use the title ‘Esquire.’ Esquire is the lowest level of royalty
in alignment with the English Crown. Originally, the 13th amendment was intended to prevent
lawyers who were members of the bar to be part of our government.” John shared, “The lawyers saw
an opportunity and killed it in its final stages. The 13th amendment had gotten enough states to
ratify it. But during the time of ratification, two more states were added, causing the
issue to be muddied. It went before the Supreme Court
and the issue won out and soon,
we were into the Civil War. The 13th amendment became the abolition of slavery in 1865.”
“The President is correct. It is like being married to one woman and having a lifelong
affair. That was the second reason I resigned from the bar. Can you imagine losing
a child with your wife? Your mistress might not care and even be happy about the
news. U.S. citizens lose rights and freedoms. The bar associations didn’t do anything.
They may have even been happy.” Profe
ssor Jefferies shared, “All of our freedoms and rights
are based on the Magna Carta that was written in 1215 A.D. The U.S. Bill of Rights has more of the
Magna Carta than the entire British legal system. Governments erode the rights of their people
like a river might erode its banks over time.” “The Patriot Act was a major offense on our
Constitution and the Treece family knew if the Supreme Court was functioning at 100%
it would throw out the Patriot Act within a few years. Thus, the threa
t of the attack on
the Supreme Court reducing their effectiveness in a major way.”
Johnny smiled at his dad. It was a smile of respect.
John caught the smile and winked at his son, “Gentlemen, I find you very acceptable both short
term and long term. I will introduce you in the morning to the assembly. Please prepare a three
to five-minute resume that you can share with the assembly. Professor Jeffery, I am going to
appoint you as our temporary Chief Justice.” “Thank you, Mr. President.”
Pr
ofessor Jeffery smiled. “Gentlemen, what are your circumstances?
Where are your loved ones?” John asked. Howard Blake responded first, “I’m single. My
horse is borrowed. I have stuff in a fifth-wheel travel trailer in Southern Oregon. I will
need some help to get that stuff to Omak.” Steven chimed in, “I’ve lost all of my
possessions. I have my life, my education. I thank you, sir, I have a pocket full of money. I
am here ready to learn and to serve. I’m in total agreement with what we are
doing.”
“My RV is out of fuel in Disautel, Washington, not too far from here maybe
15 miles towards Spokane. My wife Jean, and my kids and their spouses are all still there.
Funny story, but when we were looking for an RV, we measured everything to make sure it would
hold my law library. But after all that effort, we ended up buying a trailer and put all of my
books in there.” Everyone laughed, “It would be nice to have my family here for this afternoon.”
Professor Jefferies shared, “I’ve be
en preparing for this all my life. Now it makes sense. I am
pleased to have Steven and Howard join me. I believe we have the basis for a really good team.”
John looked to Peter and got a nod, “They are on the way professor.”
“Those little cars,” Howard asked, “are they being sold close by?”
“Yes, we have a dealership here in town,” John announced. As had become a habit, John recited
the prices but got the sense they weren’t right. He made a note to find out what was going on. He
looked to Joh
nny and got a frown, “What Johnny?” “The prices have been changed.” Johnny made
a sour face, “If I tell you, I lose my job.” “Mr. John Taylor Jr., I want to inform you
that I plan on nominating you as my Vice President.” John smiled, he then looked at
the date on his phone and started laughing. “What is it, dad?” Johnny asked.
“Today is September 29th. I got out of the Marine Corp 49 years ago today.
We’ve been here for almost three weeks. I can hardly wait to see what the next three weeks
look like.” John bemoaned shaking his head. “He’s in there on the stage,” the
group heard a voice from the doorway. Ex-Officer Bill McCormick and his
wife Nancy came in all excited, “We hear that the visitors are going to
make you President, Mr. Taylor,” Nancy said. “It looks that way.” John laughed,
“We’ve already had a vote on it.” “M&M is on the way!” Nancy
gushed as she patted her tummy. “Congratulations you two!” John stood and shook
hands with Bill and gave Nancy a hug followed by Jo
hnny, Teresa and Jenny, and many others.
“Would you like to have an assistant, Mr. President?” Nancy asked
as she patted her tummy again. John looked over at Patty, who nodded
her head, smiled, and pointed at Nancy, “I guess we do!” John laughed.
That night Peter was finishing up one of his classes as he got
a feeling something wasn’t right, so he swung by the hotel. As he entered, he could
hear the argument. “FOUR YEARS, No SIX YEARS, I HATE ELECTIONS, LET’S MAKE IT EIGHT YEARS!”
Back and
forth, men yelling at each other rang out from one of the meeting rooms. Peter saw Brad
and April behind the desk. He didn’t even stop to chat. “They have been going at it for hours.”
April shared, “We’re about to kick them out!” “If I can get them to quiet down, can we
continue to work on the issues?” Peter asked. Brad nodded then held up his finger to his lips.
Peter nodded letting Brad know he understood. He checked his cell phone and was pleased
to see the system was up, “Patty?” “Yeah,
honey.” Patty answered,
“Are you on your way home?” “I’m at the hotel, I’m going to join
one of the committees working on the term length for John.” Peter shared.
“I’ll be right there.” Patty giggled. Peter was still holding his phone when
Patty kissed him on the cheek, “Hi honey.” Peter hugged his wife and kissed her for
several seconds. He turned to Brad and April, “Is there still chowder on the barbecue?”
“George is running it all night. If we are short of something, let George know and
he’ll take care of it,” April shared. “Thank you, April.” Peter turned to
Patty, “Ready to enter the lion’s den?” “Sure!” Patty giggled as she grabbed Peter’s hand
as they headed for the noisy conference room. As they entered, they were met with,
“This is a closed meeting. Who are you?” Henry Morgan asked in a demanding voice.
“I am Peter Adams, and this is my wife Patty. Patty took the official record today at the
meeting. We come as friends and as Americans. I’m only 16, but I love America
n history. The hotel is
going into quiet time, so we need to keep things down a bit, or we are going to be asked to leave.”
Henry Morgan was going to say something when he was stopped by the man sitting next to him.
“Are you with the Minute Men? Are you the Peter?” one of the other members asked.
“Yes, about the Minute Men. I’m not sure I understand ‘the Peter’?” Peter laughed.
Another member jumped in, “Henry, you need to back down. This is Peter. He can
gather a thousand that wear the Black
Lanyard and another thousand that wear the Red. Henry,
if we are attacked from outside our borders, this young man would be standing between us
and the enemy and have enough power to move the moon. I say let him join us. We’re not making
any progress. Maybe he has some better ideas,” Peter looked around, “I’m hungry. Doesn’t the
constitution have term limits for the president?” “Everyone I’ve talked to feels the system needs a
major change. If we don’t change it here and now, it will become
impossible as time passes,”
Henry Morgan sighed with exasperation. Peter thought for a moment, “Let me put this
on the table, 20-year limits. Every January of all even years, the House does a job review on
the president. If the president gets less than 50% “okay” of the House vote on his review, that
triggers an election the first Tuesday in November of that same year. The people have the final say.”
“That just might work.” Henry thought aloud, “If we have a good leader, we can keep them in
office for 20 years or until they resign. If not, we can throw an election at them every two
years until we get somebody else in there.” One of the other members, “The 22nd amendment
says a president cannot run for a third term. So, every January of even years, Congress
gives a job rating, we could have a bad President out by the end of four years. A good
President would not have to face re-election.” “I suggest this body is responsible for all
members of our government that are appointed
. The appointees get reviewed every January of
the even years; Justices, Cabinet Members, and Ambassadors included. If they fail the review
they are removed from the appointment.” Peter shared, “Or, forced to stand for reelection.”
“You just gave this body a tremendous amount of power.” Harry Morgan frowned. As he thought about
it, he started smiling, “I like it. Discussion?” “Let’s include that all appointees by
both the House and the Senate have to be reviewed by the house every two years
during January in the even-numbered years,” One of the members suggested.
This became the new “Peter Principle.” Do your job, or you will
be removed or forced to be re-elected. Patty and Peter went and had some
chowder. They hadn’t even been at the committee meeting long enough to sit down.
Another meeting was taking place with Johnny Taylor with his Aunt Sheri and Uncle Samuel
while Peter and Patty were finishing up theirs. After dinner, Johnny stopped by the
home of his aunt and uncle. “H
i, Uncle Samuel. We need to talk.”
“Come on in, how did things go today?” Samuel opened the door and let Johnny in.
“Very well. Dad was voted in as the new President. The assembly also made this
meeting the Constitutional Convention to form a new government.” Johnny saw
smiles form on his aunt and uncle’s faces, “The delegates are from the Western States,
including Hawaii, Alaska, and British Columbia.” “Man, we’re back together again. I would have
given that a chance of one in a hundred for
that to happen.” Samuel looked up, “Thank You, God!”
“What else is there Johnny?” Sheri asked. “Dad did not know about the change in
prices on the cars.” Johnny had never seen his aunt get so mad so quickly.
She jumped up and beat on her husband, “What on earth do you think you’re doing? You lied
to me. You told me John agreed to the changes.” “I can explain, I can explain,” Samuel
finally was able to lower his arms, “If our sales drop to three cars per week
under the old prices, we will lo
se money.” “If we sell fourteen cars in a month, we will
make money. What are you thinking?” Sheri was still mad as a hornet, “Our lowest sales week was
23 cars.” Sheri looked to Johnny, “Anything else?” “He took commissions on top of his
salary for the cars he sold and yet had me work for daily wages.” Johnny shared.
“Where is it?” Sheri asked her husband. “In the gun safe,” Samuel whispered
so quietly no one could hear. “WHERE IS IT?” Sheri asked
again a little bit louder. “Inthegunsafe.”
Samuel spat out.
Sheri sat down and let out a growl. Johnny handed Sheri two copies of a list of 87
individuals listing dates, names, amounts paid and overages. The total was $8,700, “You’ve put
both my and my father’s careers as politicians in jeopardy. This could be a major smear if
this dealership gets exposed or shut down.” Samuel was looking at the list, “Did Teresa give
you this? If she did, she needs to be fired.” “Look. I let you threaten me, and now you have
threatened my wife. If
she tells me of anything you do, even give her a dirty look, I’ll take
you to the west side of the sun myself. And when that railing opens, I won’t put my hand
on your shoulder, no, I’ll be kicking you in the ass to help you through that railing. Do
you understand?” Johnny was a bit worked up, “I resign from the car business. I expect you to
give me a phone call tomorrow night to schedule a meeting with me, explaining how you are going
to correct this. I think I’ve said all I need to. You
have a good night.” Johnny went to the door
and didn’t bother to shut it on the way out. Eighty-seven people got checks for $100 the next
day. After a meeting with Johnny and Sheri and John, Samuel became the commissioned car salesman
and Sheri took over the management role for the Smart Car dealership. Johnny developed a flyer
for other areas of the New United States. Smart Cars for $1,300 which would include free shipping
by train. Alaska and Hawaii would be handled by the Minute Men clas
ses.
The oath of office: On Saturday afternoon, John stood before
everyone. His family sat behind him, including Tony and Willa. They’d taken the 24
hours from Saturday at noon to Sunday at noon off. Half of their fishing crew was in the
audience watching the event. Brad, Gloria, and the others voted to continue fishing. Everyone
expected this to be the last week of fishing. The newly appointed Chief Justice Jeffrey
had sworn in the new president. He was the 46th person to take the oath of
office
for the Presidency of the United States. As John looked out over the assembled
crowd, a man stood up, “Mr. President. I would like to make a motion to honor this
day in the future as a National Holiday.” “Thank You, Chief Nation. Let’s see how we
feel next year. We have a mission to turn this world into the LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF
THE BRAVE.” The audience rose to their feet and cheered. Later it would be said that
the two or three people who’d stayed home in Riverside seven miles
away heard the noise.
John gestured to a man moving through the crowd taking pictures. “His name is Seth Wilson. He
owns the Omak Record Newspaper. As long as I am part of this government, Seth and his colleagues
have the right to be in any meeting, to record any conversation, and to publicize anything and
everything to do with this government.” The crowd again stood and made the hills vibrate. John
turned and looked at his family. They were all standing, clapping, and yelling their agreemen
ts.
As John turned, his vision drew him to the rooftop where two men were dressed in camouflage.
John got the sense that the shooter had one of those computer-aided rifles where the rounds
would explode either at a set distance or upon contact. The first round had been shot. John
guided it back with his telekinetic ability. The spotter’s right knee exploded just as the
second round had been fired. John returned that one to hit the shooter’s right shoulder,
also exploding. The crowd continue
d to make noise. Peter had been sitting on the dais and
was beside John in a flash. John whispered, “Two men down on top of that building. We need
to learn who, what and why? They are hurt badly.” “Got it Mr. President!” Peter moved to
the back of the dais and jumped down as he pulled out his phone. Eight men were there
in a handful of minutes picking up the pieces of what was on that roof. One man had been
forced into shutting his business down. He’d been operating the primary jewelry stor
e in
the area. He was known for overcharging and had two prices on his goods for sale.
The prices from pre-Earth Changes were what he pushed. Many times, too often and
with several complaints, the man was warned and then closed for price gouging. Now, he was
involved with retribution to the new President. “In our Declaration of Independence, our
forefathers said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain una
lienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right
of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to
affect their Safety and Happiness.’” “I draw from the past to create a foundation to go
forward. What else would you expect a carpenter to say?” He waited for the laughter to lower a bit,
John continued and shared with the population that many fundamental changes were going to
happen. “‘Life,’ that right is health care, as people are trained there will be clinics
set up all over the country providing free health care. All men and women will be free
and have the right to pursue happiness. O
ur military will be decreased and given the
task to train others not only in our country but around the world. Our goal is to bring peace
to mankind. Drugs are going to be eliminated at the source. Education has always proven a
benefit to the standard of living in our society and the world. I propose all education
to be free. I also propose all outstanding debts incurred before the Earth Changes are forgiven
and eliminated.” This was met with thunderous applause that went on for several min
utes.
The swearing-in and acceptance speech lasted just over 90 minutes. The audience was excited
and even when the kids lit off some fireworks under the watchful eyes of the volunteer fire
department, it did not dampen anybody’s spirit. Maiden Nation, with the help of
Sou’s family and other volunteers, had the People’s Trust set up a dozen tents
and many different foods fixed for the 20,000 or more. Everything was shut down for half a day.
Everyone understood that they had just witnessed h
istory and their little corner of the world
had just taken a major step to heal the planet. The date was October 1, 2018.
The delegates stayed for another week. When they left, they had added five new amendments to
the Bill of Rights: 28.) Freedom of the internet. 29.) 20-year limits on the president.
30.) Banks can only be chartered by the State and do business within that State.
31.) Companies cannot be larger than 1,000 employees except for employee-owned companies.
32.) Companies are forbi
dden from making contributions to any political party or campaign.
Almost all delegates left wearing a Blue Lanyard around their neck. They also transported
themselves and a few others to God and back. May God Bless America! May we return to
‘government by the people, for the people?’
