Ten years ago, militants of a dissenting ideology raised their arms against the United States of America. The dissenting militants (DM) gathered and plotted objectives and tactics with the internet as their primary medium.
Nine years ago,a small brigade (~100 people) left their homes in West Virginia, Virginia proper, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, and covertly crossed state borders with a common mission to strike Washington D.C. Unknown to the soldiers of the DM Washington had monitored their internet plots, had implanted many under-cover agent among their ranks, and kept tabs on what Washington called "Essentials of War" (EoW) which comprised of weapons and ammunition, high shelf life food-stuffs, shelter, and cars registered in the name of high-prestige members of DM. Unknown to the small brigade, they would not make it to the District's borders. Washington released a statement the following day with a condemnation of Terrorist actions within the United States border, and that "[Washington] would not tolerate agents of the DM, and would do all that was necessarily to get rid of the Terrorist organization." Over the next congressional session the Patriot Act was reimplemented, a token of the Bush Administration, and added to the act was the "Saftey-On Act" which, essentially, bans weapons, a complete government over-sight of all aspects of the internet, and placed military personnel, and equipment in a first-response distance to every major city in the United States.
Eight years ago, the United States Military began running operations to demolish the E.o.W's, with an emphasis on the DM's targets. Collateral damage increased and Washington's statement expressed deep sympathy for the damage, but remarked that people were to be vigilante to rid their community of the DM, to report suspected targets to local law enforcement.
Eight years and 6 months ago, Economists, Urban Planners, and Community Managers agree that many large American cities have been leveled to the size it was 40 years ago. Millions have been killed in Operations, and the President of the United States has moved from Washington D.C. to an undisclosed location, for fear of assassination attempts.
Seven years ago............
