DBWI: Sharpton is bringing back the Stars and Stripes!

[TheLoneAmigo]

The Secretary's just finished his speech - I was watching it on the BBC - and he finished with "and may god bless these united states." - and then they pulled down the Red Cross! And raised the Stars and Stripes over the bloody White House, and then they played the Star-Spangled Banner - the pre-revolutionary anthemn. They're pulling apart the Christian Socialist States! It's the end of the Cold War!

How on earth is Sharpton pulling this past the hardliners like Falwell and Robertson? They had a hard enough time swallowing Open Minds and New America - there will be blood in the streets this time.

But good grief - look, BBC has a camera in New York - the city's going off like a balloon. It's like... they're finally free.

Celebrating in the streets...

Well, New England gone up like a flame...the local Sears stores are giving away out all the driveway sealer in stock, and employees are ripping open pillows for the feathers. The crowds, supported by the local police and the army, are hunting down the Morals Proctors, and using the donated materials to tar and feather the minor ones.
The higher ups have become cannonized martyrs--blown from the mouths of the Massachusett's big guns. Otheres have been hanged from the mystic river bridge after conviction for high treason. The illeagal regime is done in New England.

In Portsmouth, the flag of freedom flies from one of the Boomers of the Atlantic fleet...and she's sailing right now to an undisclosed location.

Atop Holy Cross Cathedral, closed by the "Universal Church," and now reopened, the Stars and Strips fly, and the organ belts out such songs of freedom as "Yankee Doodle," "The Star Spangled Banner," as well as songs of the Irish population..."Rising ogf the Moon," is wonderful to organ music. Priests and Rabbis, long in hiding, are coming out, and some coppies of forbiddden books on such banned topics as evolution are already being passed around.

The deep South is refusing to accept the restoration of the Constitution, and this is cause for concern.

However, Robertson won't be leading them--he was New York to address the UN, urging them to "Follow a moral, God given path to rightousness," when he was arrested. Reports are that the trial is scheduled for tomorrow, and if he's not guilty, then he will be extradited to The Hague following it. The guards have strict orders--in the event of a rescue attempt, under no circumstances are the rescuers to get anything but a bullet riddled corpse.

Already, citizen armies are forming, weapons being distributed--if Robertson's reforms fail, then New England, at least, is ready to fight to keep them. And--the New England Congress has assembled and is preparing a strategy if armed resistance to a resurgent theocrat should be needed.

Long Live The USA!

Please, you've got to help us! The damned Moral Proctors roled into Huntsville after the announcement. Straight into America's main space facilities! They've announced a 4 o'clock curfew, and have made it clear that they'll shoot to kill! I saw at least 13 APCs alone, so who knows how many more there are!

I got stranded while on my way home, and would have been shot like a cur had an African-American friend of mine not shepherded me to safety. We are, by a necessity, a town of science, so even the babtists here are actually moderate.

So please, you have to help us! We want to be able to say that stars aren't god's presence in space, that vacuum isn't the deepest hell!

Please, countrymen! Save us!

Let me be the first to offer my congratulations from Canada. It brings a tear to my eye to see liberty restored to our southern neighbours. Please, do not hesitate to ask for any aid that you may require in restoring peace and good government. We are willing to send expeditionary forces to battle any reactionary attempts on the true government of the United States. I am sure the hundreds of thousands of refugees that braved the Wall throughout these long decade will be happy to return to their home and native land.

There is no neccesity for this.

THe secretary of state is a traitor.

As we speak loyal elements of the Christian Socialist States of America Armed forces are working hard to restore order.

Comrades Falwell and Robertson are alive and well.

Long live Christian Socialism!

 

[Dave Howery]

out here in the west, we are of two minds; OTOH, we are overjoyed to see the restoration of the Constitution... OTOH, our heavily Christian population is a bit dismayed that the reaction against the Proctors seems to be leading to a massive anti-Christian fervor. We remind everyone that not all who claimed to be Christian supported the Proctors.

Of course, being here in WY, our concerns are pretty much being ignored far and wide. Quiet in Cheyenne so far....

 

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Some International Perspective....

Currently Soviet Premier Vladimir Zhirinovsky has said that he has been briefed by Admiral Emil Nikolayevich Spiridonov, 5th Pacific Naval Fleet, from Managua, Nicaragua says that they are monitoring the situation in the CSSA. Pravda has denied reports that Mig-21 reconaissance flights have been launched from Havanna, Cuba under Admiral Vladimir Nikolayevich Chernavin.

Meanwhile Soviet forces in Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, and Amsterdam have been placed under highest alert, under the command of General Sergei Ivanov. Any aggressive action by British and/or American Coalition forces will certainly be met with force.

 

[TheLoneAmigo]

What the hell are the Soviets doing? It can only make it worse - if hardliners seize power to fight off Soviet aggression, they could win back the support of the people! I mean - what is Zhirinovksy thinking? If the Americans don't fall back into the pit, the Soviets have already won the Cold War. They've proved the superiority of secular capitalism!

...if the Soviets screw this up, we're looking at World War Four, no mistake.

 

[Mason]

You gotta get some people out here, we've taken the reactor and can shut down the power to the Proctors, but we're taking some heavy casualties.

They've got our LDS reinforcements stuck up at the Utah border, Joseph Smith's Ass Kickers can't get down here to help.

Thank God they haven't called in air support, or artillery, they don't want to breach the core, but if we don't hurry, these damn human waves are gonna take us out!

 

[HueyLong]

Damn anarchists, tearing down the proud traditions of our Christ's Blood State!

People are talking about the oppressed coming out of hiding, of priests celebrating with so many poor people. Pah! The priests are celebrating privately with little boys now that they can't get thumbscrews or a term in Alaska. And "poor people"? Poor by their own vice. The damn greasers are prasing Jesus of Malverde, the "Narco Saint", while getting drunk and robbing in the streets. The Proctors kept them in their own districts where they could rob each other and each other alone.

The Wide-Awakes of the White Vigilance League will not stand for anarchy. Indianapolis will stand tall against revolution, against anarchy, against moral decay.

What Must Happen...

...if the Soviets screw this up, we're looking at World War Four, no mistake.

Soviet Premier Vladimir Zhirinovsky has repeatedly stated at press conferences that the current military alert of all military forces is based on international requests for aid and support from the President Rafael Sebastián Guillén Vicente (Mexico) (OOC: Zapatista leader "Subcomandante Marcos"), President Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (Cuba) (OOC: Che Guevara), and President Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (Venezuela). The Soviet government is willing to aid the "interests of the proletariat of the American people", as stated in the 1976 Socialist Internaionale in Bandung, Indonesia....

But it was also reiterated the Khruschev Doctrine of 1962, stating that "any attack by the CSSA or its allies, on any Soviet ally or the Soviet Union will be seen as a declaration of war..."

 

[CaRL]

This is terrible! All around the country, the people are rising up against us. It's chaos in this city, "freedom fighters" shooting at us from rooftops, 'fugees trying to get out of the crossfire, it's so heartbreaking that God's children must live through this all through history.
There's a loud BANG, as an IED destroys our lead humvee. Small arms fire and buzzbombs(Disposable Anti-Tank Weapons) pepper our convoy from our left flank. The APCs drop ramp as they rotate their turrets toward a hotel/apartment building, where most of the fire was coming from. Another loud BOOM, this time its the main gun of a M45 Crusader Main Battle Tank. A large explosion rips out a 15' diameter hole in the building where the HE shell exploded. Screams of 'fugees can be heard as the combat vehicles and dismounted infantry unleash a storm of ordinance into the building. I aim for muzzle-flashes in the windows, firing single, aimed shots. A radio transmission is heard over the company channel.
"All units, advance on the hotel, close with them boys!"
The infantry and vehicles advance in line formation toward the hotel, firing all the way. The anarchistic insurgents weren't giving up, however. There's a short scream as a soldier ten yards to my left collapses, a 308. through his body armor. We were now about twenty yards from the building.
A fellow infantryman yells, "RPG!!!"
There's a wooshing sound as the Rocket Propelled Grenade slashes through the air from a second-story window into the vulnerable roof armor of an apc. The apc halts and brews up not fifteen yards away from me. I see movement through a window on the second floor, apparently the same insurgent who killed the other apc. The insurgent was about to fire another buzzbomb before a 120mm HE round obliterated him and the room he was in.
Dear God, I thought, when will this end? Not just yet, my mind tells me. We still have to clear this building.

OOC: Ahem, previous post, put Soviets as capitalists...

Bright day
Well on one hand I welcome the end of Cold War, but I worry a bit also. La Concorde seems to be in control in France, but elsewhere the situation does not seem so peachy. There are still American troops in GCR, if hardliners come back to power in America, would they abort the reunification yet?

 

[Voice of The Empire]

it's over. it's finally over.


i'm currently sitting in the officer of the Proctor of Salem. i'm using his computer to post this, in fact. believe me, he wont mind anymore. not unless he's a new incarnation of Christ. not unless he can come back from the dead.

me and others like me have been waiting for this day for years, waiting and planning. when i heard the announcement, we made our move.

mom, dad.

........Selene.

it's finally over. i hope you can rest, finally.

 

[Analytical Engine]

We of the United Kingdom of Western Europe welcome the reunification of the United States.

We can only hope that the violence will end quickly.

You think It's over.

We will be back.

You think you've defeated us?

We'll have ourselves a 2nd Christian Socialist revolution eventually.

Long live Marx and Jesus!

It is historical inevitability.

 

[Aozhouhuaren]

OOC: How can there be Christian Socialism, i thought one of the main philosophies of Marx and indeed socialism is Atheism.

 

[HueyLong]

We won't need a second revolution. When the cities of the Heartland have declared for the CSSA, we're going to be fighting a war.

Chicago is under Wide-Awake control right now. Indianapolis is stable, if lacking in a few of its undesirable populations. Cincinatti and all of Ohio is a mess, but with the Penn Station Legion on its way, we can't lose. The White Vigilance League is battling everywhere in the Midwest, and we plan to win.

Who would have known that Korean War vets would be so... disruptive?

OOC: Only Marxism specifically rejects religion. Christian socialism is a real ideology, BTW, and is non-Marxian in truth. However, a different Marx could have him embracing religion as part of the spiritual-economic exchange or something.

OOC: Well seeing as Marx was a Jew and came from jewish background, it would be hard to get him embracing some kind of ideology embracing exclusion on basis of either race or religion. But not everything need to come from Marx.

 

[HueyLong]

So anyways, I was there when we cleared out a few Jews from one of the better neighborhoods. They claimed to be Christian. But us Wide-Awakes, we knew. They weren't. It was funny, he pled with me at the end.

"The Savior was a Jew."

No, he wasn't. He was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Galilean from the hardiest stock of Europe. He was killed by the crook-noses.

So anways, we burned down his house. He's out working correctionals in a corn co-op.

OOC: He was raised Lutheran, and did not view himself as a Jew. Besides, I didn't say he would have to call for a specific sect to bring socialism, but merely that he could have accepted it as part of a material-human reality. It would be up to later writers to interpret it as one proletarian religion.

Oh, and as for race, a communist state that idolizes Marx can easily breed racists. Soviet Russification policies and the surprisnly large Soviet nostalgia among Russian neo-nazis......
