appointed a President before. If we’ve done it before, we can do it again. We’re also going to have to pass new laws to make sure no President can ever get us this far down a black hole again. When the country was founded, the founders designed a country with three branches of government; they designed a system with a weak central government. The original Federal Government started off broke; they had no means to tax.
     
    “Mr. Speaker, I’m sorry, but I can’t vote for anyone except for the good Reverend. He’s the only one who can lead us out of the dark times we’re currently in. He’ll hold the country together.”
     
    “We can appoint him to a position within the government which is what you’re proposing to do with the General.”
     
    “I can’t stop you; however, I don’t think you’re going to a lot of supporters for your idea.”

    5:30 AM eighteen people wearing DHS uniforms arrive at the headquarters building of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Washington DC. All have valid DHS internal security ID cards which allow them unlimited access to the building. Once inside the eighteen split up going to different floors and offices. Four of the eighteen are IT experts, they’ve been given stolen passwords enabling them access to the entire DHS network. They sit down at the DHS terminals where they download files onto small memory sticks. The memory sticks also hold a virus that is installed into the DHS network. The others follow their instructions, completing their assigned tasks.
     
    Their last task is to reprogram the building alarm system. Within thirty minutes all of their tasks are finished, the eighteen walk out of the building as if they belonged there. Across the country, similar break-ins are happening at other DHS office buildings. Ron and I are among a group of five people who’ve been assigned the headquarters building of the Border Patrol in Arlington VA. Entering the building is easy, our forged ID cards give us instant access as if we’re real DHS employees. We’re protecting a hacker who’s wanted by the DHS and FBI for breaking into government networks. He sits in front of one of the admin terminals in the IT department; his fingers fly over the keyboard. Smiling he says, “I’m in; this was easier than I thought. Give me the memory sticks, I’ll start transferring the files.”
     
    Ron says, “When you’re done transferring the files, load this into their system, handing the hacker a CD-ROM.
     
    “Do I want to know what’s on this?”
     
    “No, just load it, and then we’ll leave.”
     
    Frank, one of our group motions to me to follow him, he puts his finger to his lips to tell me to be as silent as possible, we slip into the Director’s office, gaining access to his computer and locked files. We have a list of files we were asked to locate; we hit the jackpot, one of the stolen keys we were given opens his file cabinet, the files we want are all there. We were given a few vials of chemical to spread around the offices with a warning to be out of the building within five minutes of opening the vials. Having completed out tasks, we meet the others and slip out of the building. I ask, “Won’t they figure out someone broke into the office and stole files?” Ron says, “In thirty minutes there won’t be enough left of their offices to worry about.”
     
    The national morning news programs report massive fires and explosions took place overnight at fifteen DHS office buildings. The FBI claimed it was the act of domestic terrorists; the FBI Director told the New York Slimes they had a solid lead on the perpetrators. Two days latter ten people are arrested as the ringleaders. None are part of the groups that did the actual attack; the FBI simply rounded up ten people and blamed them for the attack. The FBI proudly issues a press release saying they broke up a major domestic terrorist organization which is tied to the Tea Party. The
