Big Brother, 2017

March 23, 2017

“Sir, we now have that break-through we’ve been working on”, said Director Bryan Omar. Omar had just entered the Oval Office at President Zane Ayman’s request.

“So, tell me how it will help us make the changes we’ve worked so long for?”, asked President Ayman.

“The Comprehensive National Security Agency (the newly expanded NSA) can now pull any name in America, even those in most industrialized nations, and we can see every piece of data ever typed onto a keypad of any kind. And with that, we can retrieve any voice communication, along with whomever that person spoke to.  We can do the same with every email, text, social network, and any digital form of communication. And with the new system sir, that data is automatically cross checked.”

“We still have the problem with snail mail, even if it is nearly extinct?”, asked President Ayman.

“Not really. We’ve made headway there too sir.  We are now documenting every piece of mail with the new see-thru scanners, and each piece is coded from each drop-off point, so any piece of mail can be traced back to the sender, as well as automated cross referencing the sender and receiver with the Master Data Bank. Sir, it gets even better. With the new digital postal system tied in with the CNSA, we are tied into each and every public thoroughfare surveillance camera and we can see who drops that mail off! You need anything, on anyone, we can get everything you’d ever want to know about them, and every contact they ever have. Bottom line, there is no more privacy or unauthorized communications. Sir, we OWN all communication in the country!”

“So all I need, is to give you a name, and you can get everything Id ever want to know about that person?”, asked President Ayman.

(Smiling) “Exactly Sir. Tell me who you want about, and we can pull everything you’d ever need to know on that person. Every secret they’ve ever said or put into words, we’d have it for you.”

“Well Mr. Omar, I think we’re ready to commence Phase I of Operation Round-Up. I will issue the Executive Order today, and have all my agency heads to begin tomorrow. It’s time to roundup the dissenters and I WANT those Tea Party leaders locked up. Oh…and I want that NRA disbanded! Have the ‘list’  ready for each department, and the teams can get started.”

“Yes sir, Mr. President. … It’s time sir.”

“Oh thanks Omar, your prayer rug is still here too. Please join me my Brother Omar, and let’s kneel toward Meca.”

“Mr. President…I have an update for you”, said FBI Director Lilly Gafar.

“Okay Ms. Rachel, that’ll be all”, says the President as his personal secretary leaves the room. “Go ahead Ms. Gafar.”

“Sir, we have successfully obtained persuasive background information on those targets you wanted, and they have all been contacted personally by my Special Agents. We now have their full cooperation. They’re in a real bind Mr. President, so they’ll give you no problem. Even a couple of the Supreme Court Justices had some things they didn’t want out, so they’ll side with the other Justices on anything you want.”

“I love it. GW had no idea how that Patriot Act could be fine-tuned to do more than he ever dared to dream of. Then, with Barry moving that up, and CNSA completing the system to a full-fledged domestic spying system, we now can find out anything on anyone”, Ayman went on.

“Yes Sir, and those Congressmen that gave you so much trouble during your campaign … well, they have their hands full now putting out their own little fires, so they’ll be hard pressed to do anything against you.”

“Splendid, Ms. Gafar”, the President replied. “I called Barry too. He was elated that we have been able to continue his project. Let’s move forward now with those signed warrants, and begin Phase II of Operation Round-Up.”

“Mr. President, can we have a word?”, asked Ms. Gafar, standing in the hallway with CIA Director Alan Rayan.  All three enter the Oval Office.

“Sir, we have begun executing those arrest warrants on all key people on your newest list”, said Gafar.

“Any problems? Anything that could hit the Underground News Corp”, asked President Ayman?

Rayan stepped in closer, “Not really sir. Most were arrested quietly and without incident. We did have a few, like that asshole National Rifle Association president. We had to use a stun gun on him twice. But when he arrived at Bureau Area 6, Dr. Xavier ordered an injection for him. We’ll not hear anything from him anytime soon!”

“How have the black-outs gone?”, asked President Ayman.

“Great sir. Our people have rolled into a neighborhood, commenced Operation Black Out, and we’re in and out of the target location before people know we’ve been there”, said Gafar.  “With the build-up of the Department  of Homeland Security, Marco’s people have simply overwhelmed any attempt of any radicals to form militias. ….(laughingly)…. Sir, it’s been pathetic really. Much of the remaining Tea Party members ran out of ammo days ago. Some are still holding up in remote areas of the country, but they’re completely shut off, and surrounded by DHS.”

“What about the Military?”

“Mr. President”, responded Saad, “the command structure you put in place, is keeping all military off-shore and out of the way. And all civilian communications with them, has been blocked. They are mostly in the dark about what going on, and the Command and Control will keep them from attempting any interference.”

“Yes sir”, Rayan chimed in, “The civilians are powerless too. The gun buy-backs of 2013 & 2014, coupled with the confiscation of all personal firearms in 2016, the civilian population can only stand by and watch if they do see us roll into a neighborhood.”

 “Okay, keep me informed”, said President Ayman.

As the two were leaving the Oval Office, CIA Dir. Rayan stopped and turned to the President. “Sir, that situation with Senator Benyamin has been taken care of. Our office was able to Photoshop some of his family webpage photos, and they’re being released this afternoon. You can expect a recall election!”

WHNA (White House News Agency) opened their daily all-channel newscast. “My fellow Americans, it is a great day”, as President Ayman (shown on the screen, with the former President along his side) announced today, “as America is finally free of any religious intrusion in any public place. With the exception of government sponsored sects, all religious signage, symbols, on-air messages, and so on, are out-lawed, and no American will again be offended by such unwanted Christian or Jewish messaging and influence. Special thanks to the ACLU for helping us pin the ears back on some of the stubborn communities.

We are also announcing the appointment of my dear friend, Salim Hasad, to fill the vacated Senatorial seat of Senator Benyamin. We are sorry for the sudden loss of Senator Benyamin in his bout with cancer, and we wish his family well.

My administration is also announcing today, that certain elements of anti-government organizations and those outspoken against the many good things we have been doing, have been effectively dealt with, and the people of America can enjoy the many benefits we have to offer without the descent that has stalled our efforts in the past. And with that, we are a safer nation. While many have complained about the rise in taxes, those taxes have paved the way for a better, safer America, where more citizens can share in the wealth of the many.

Thank you, and good day my American friends.”

In a growing number of areas across the nation, street thugs and bandits plague neighborhoods, with robberies and assaults upon citizens, and even the reported abuses by federal agents. Street thugs are running in gangs, armed with guns bought off the black market, mostly from the open border of Mexico, as well as the open ports of Florida. China has increased their USA sales of AK-47s, using Muslim Brotherhood members of the Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms to sell them on the streets.

While complaints go largely unchecked, many families are upset with federal agents entering their homes with no cause, just to search for possible contraband. The courts have sided with President Ayman’s administration, in that warrantless entries are legal under Patriot Act IV, so long as no arrests result from the search. Federal Law Enforcement continues to seize property in what used to be “Red States”, and political opposition has been all but squashed, except for the Rebel State of Texas, who has all but seceded from the nation. The Rebel State of Texas is the one border area President Ayman has tried to secure, and DHS is patrolling the borders of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. DHS has been unable to patrol the Gulf of Mexico area, as the Rebel State of Texas has developed its own Navy, and has sunk many DHS patrol boats.

President Ayman has completed Operation Round-Up, and began Operation Constitution Revocation.

 “Sir, Director Saad is here to see you”, said Ms. Rachel. Saad Steps into the Oval Office.

 “Tell me Ms. Saad, are we ready to move forward? Are ‘the people’ (he smirks) ready to go along with the New Order?”

 “Yes sir”, replies Saad. “With the people polling positively to do away with the old document, they’re ready for your New Order.”

 “Good, the time has finally come. We’ll schedule a public burning of the ‘constitution’. Then we release the balloons and fireworks, when we unveil the New Order that I’m having etched in marble. That will also stop any remaining hold-outs, and what’s left of that fucking NRA, from throwing that whole 2^nd amendment thing up to the courts.”

 “Yes Mr. President, I’ll get with the other directors, and we’ll have security ready for the Burning of the Constitution  celebration.”

==========================================

While the above is an obvious piece of fiction, at what point could the gradual giving up of freedoms and the rule of law, could we see drastic changes to our Constitutional liberties? Obama said during his first campaign, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” From where I sit, it looks like he is getting down that road pretty far, and we are losing our grasp of the freedoms that we’ve known for over 200 years.

 Today, the White House is waste deep in scandals. The newly revealed NSA taking of cellphone, email, and social sites data from EVERY American, WITHOUT a proper warrant; the use of the IRS to go after “conservative” organizations, even sharing “confidential” information with one group’s political  adversaries; the Dept. of Justice, using the ruse of going after a DC leaker to tap into the personal phone call records of a FOX News Reporter, James Rosen, and even Rosen’s parents; lying about the circumstances and cause of the attack on our Embassy in Benghazi, where Ambassador Stevens and three other brave men were murdered (and still the terrorist are at large); Sec. of State Clinton lying about protests causing the attack; Obama lying in front of the United Nations; Obama supporting a UN resolution to control “small arms”, that has the potential of by-passing our 2^nd amendment; the failed Fast and Furious arms running, that got one of our Border Agent killed by Mexican drug cartel members using one of the ATF guns; and it has all the markings of a nation is serious internal trouble.

How much more will we accept from a government, that is taking liberties with OUR freedoms? Like the frog in the pan, are we need to be asking ourselves, “Are WE the frog?”
