The End Of the Oligarchy : Dreams of the Future American Revolution by Alfred N.Muggins

2/3/25 / 25/6/25
    A hidden rebel CIA hit squad tracked the President’s position before he arrived at a football stadium. Quickly they ambushed him as he came through into the stadium on foot with his entourage. His guards were incapacitated swiftly; their lives were expendable given the crisis in the Nation. They snatched him and bundled him away. He was taken to a secure place and strapped swiftly into the electric chair. The waiting reporters reacted with horror when they realized their erstwhile President was being strapped into that chair, behind bullet proof glass. They weren’t sure what this chair was, as it hadn’t been used for a long time here, but some were beginning to guess.
 
    “Please start filming,” suggested a spokesman for the rebels, and so the cameras began to roll. Switches were flicked and the President’s screams could be heard despite the strong bullet proof glass. It would be a long and painful death, not as efficient as these Chairs were originally designed to have been. But few of the watchers at the scene, and the many millions who would be watching this on TV or the internet would shed any tears for the demise of this traitor to all that America had previously represented. The rebel leaders wanted the President’s death to be known, to be watched by the nation, and the world’s media. It would be a warning to others not to try to take a ‘crown’ when they step up to become President.

    On the White House lawn gallows were erected in the old ways. President Con’s cabinet were stood in the cold daylight. Each and every one of the traitors would be hanged here in front of cameras which would broadcast, one way or another, to the rest of the nation and the world. Their executioners were frankly not too concerned with making their deaths smooth or painless, as these creeps were responsible for so much misery and suffering among the populations they had been supposed to serve. Alongside the political cabinet were the other billionaires who made up the main members of the Oligarchy.   The men who had famously bought the election were here, and others, the men who had perfected capitalism by taking out all of the big competition, but then refused to pay their fair share in taxes, hiding behind loopholes too generous. Thus the  public debt had grown worse as the people making the money hired clever accountants, and sometimes lawyers, to avoid paying what society needed for the modern state to flourish.

   This would at last be the day of retribution, when the American Republic would be restored again. The plan was unfolding according to plan. The capture of the President was the most important crucial element. Without their figurehead there would be no movement left to support the rump of the fascistic Party movement, which had quite quickly lost most of its supporters as the state of the nation had gone into swift decline after his fancy and hopeful inauguration. Those who remained followers of the regime were often those whose livelihood depended on it the most. Party congressmen, or even women, who had received election funding from the President’s backers, who would surely lose it next time around if they were disloyal to the President's regime. These people, which had become most of the Party in congress, as in the senate, were not really traditionally fascist people on the whole, but they were beholden to the Great Leader, and feared losing his support or the support of the backers. Then there were the many careerists who were placed into the top of the public services, including the military, because they would do the bidding of the Great Leader and his allies. They owed their positions to the Great Leader.
 
     The election had been bought, campaign funds directed in the selection of politicians, judges and new top civil servants. Computerised election results had been massaged and managed in various ways; some results had not been entered, using excuses and fudges. They made themselves comfortably in power following their adjusted swing state ‘success’, for their front facing Party, who had surprisingly managed to swing it in every single swing state on the electoral chess board. Some votes had not been counted in some majority opposition population centres in places like Pennsylvania, due to clever computer interruptions, or extractions, just the sort of thing the Oligarchs and their well paid young computer whizz kids might have been able to pull off without ‘normal’ people suspecting anything at all? The Oligarchs and the President himself had pulled off their electoral coup to take over the Government and close half of it down, while the Oligarchs, and presumably other wealthy backers, fed off the erstwhile United States Federal Government on lucrative technological and auditing contracts.

   Uncomfortable fear drenched these individuals, but it was no more than they deserved. All of them were comfortable people who had been used to great wealth and reward in life. They had all been people who believed money was one of the most important goals in life. In earlier years and careers, when things had been normal they had flourished in the political game, speaking from both principle and greed, free to make their own choices in which campaigns they spoke and in how much to toe Party lines. As the Great Leader and his campaign developed they had had to learn more Party discipline, orders from above, which could not be countered if they were to keep their own position. They had sold their people into slavery. They had sold their nation and their world. But the people would no longer stand aside and let them.
