ANTICLONE
( Based On A Future True Story)
It was the best of time. it was the worst of times. The United States of America, the most formidable and powerful nation in the world, had recently enjoyed several decades of peace and prosperity. The "Bull" stock market had filled the coffers of both individuals, even the common working man, as well as fattening the government's
surplus to record levels.
The economy was flourishing, and there was no end in sight to this avalanche of prosperity, yet these good times would be suddenly interrupted
by what was thought to be a group of radicals calling themselves, El-Khada, who suddenly and ferociously surfaced on the world scene. They were creating havoc, death, and distress, disrupting stable governments via activation of
"sleeper" cells of radical leftists, who were murderers, suicide bombers, and extremists.
Daily attacks upon strategic locations, as well as upon the general populations, had the governments of the United States, Great Britain,
Spain, France, Israel, China, Russia, and the Phillipines held hostage. The individual suicide bombers struck at random, leaving a trail of death
and dismemberment behind. What the world had know for years as peace has all but disappeared, and paranoia and fear became the norm. and a sign of the times.
News reports attributed the attacks to El-Khada, and some to the Islamic group Jihaad, yet the intelligence community, the NSA, FBI, Interpol, KGB, and IGPA( International Government Protection Agency) could not substatiate this. Intelligence had been intercepted that some political secret faction known as the Freedom Party was the mastermind behind the atrocities.
The Freedom Party had been identified as far back as the 1940's, however there hadn't been any
solid evidence as to who they were, what their belief's were, or where they were located. They seemed to exist as "phantoms", even as folklore, and they seemed to have an existence that was both invisible and clandestine. No purpose or mission for their existence had ever been established, and no concrete objectives for their unity was evident.
In the past four decades none of the major powers considered the Freedom Party a threat, since most of their activity had only been associated with defamation of the dead. This was considered a security issue for any country, only a mild embarrasement, but some to some the pieces of a complicated and deadly puzzle would start to allign. |
