A single ray of golden light came
streaming through the torn misshapen window shade, as dawn announced the end of
yet another dream tormented night. Winston rolled over into wakefulness, and
thought about that place that he had only just escaped from - but then
immediately he began to wonder if this was only more of that disjointed universe
that he'd just been living in - that place they called the world of F.A.C.E.
For the hundredth time he glanced at
his computer and wondered if was possible to actually convey what he had seen?
His father had thundered on the importance of things like this, but his father
had been a very old man when Winston was still a child. Young Winston thought of
himself as a sometimes writer, but he knew that he was nothing special - and
with so many really intelligent and well-educated minds that were still dealing
with these topics daily, how could something as fleeting and fragile as his
dream bring anything of consequence to all of that?
As dawn moved off, the broader azure
blue of morning began to settle in, and Winston made a second cup of victory
coffee. Had his father actually lived that whole thing; all that terror in that
strangely twisted novel? What was the title - he'd only had a father for the
first ten years or so and - Oh yeah 1984- that was what they called
the book! And now it looked like his generation, was
headed straight back into that setting of his father's crazy novel. 'What the
hell' thought Winston Slade: "What's left to lose!"
There was a pulsing from the crowds
outside, and he could just begin to see the coming tide of signs (a white gloved
fist firmly gripped the hammer - like the Hammer & Sickle of the USSR), this
was centered on the intersection where the two beams of the crimson cross
intersect. The White Hammer, held by a white gloved hand, against the blazing
red cross on a black field surrounded by a golden laurel wreath, borrowed from
the old UN flag, without the globe of course, as there is only one nation that
matters now - all the rest is black - like the surrounding nothingness that
stands for "others!"
Somewhere a radio is murmuring in that
soft familiar purr of Bill Fist, rather "Frist," as he confirms for
the millionth time "the birth of our new nation. "We are," he
says: "a nation without derision, without dissent: a nation where all the
people know their places and each delights in staying where they belong. This
harmony is maintained because anyone who fails to stay where they are put will
have to answer to the Hammer, whom God himself made perfect and who is immune to
all other laws or tribunals, and hence he, (The Hammer) has become the perfect
arbiter of absolute justice, there being no longer any need for any laws in
FACE, except the holy bible."

Brother Bill continues, about that now
very-distant day, when he himself went Coast-to-Coast on National Christian
Television, to announce on "Justice Sunday" that there needed to be
changes in this godless, hedonistic haven for radicals, that several of the
tired old "lawmakers" still seemed to think was part of why there was
this country called the USA. Seems the outlaws were outraged that the Godly in
this country wanted to bring their beliefs to work with them in the courts - and
thereby allow the courts to have some real Christian merit in the otherwise
useless decisions that they routinely hand down.
"LA TIMES - Just days after a
bitterly divided Senate committee voted along party lines to approve her
nomination as a federal appellate court judge, California Supreme Court Justice
Janice Rogers Brown told an audience Sunday that people of faith were embroiled
in a 'war' against secular humanists who threatened to divorce America
from its religious roots, according to a newspaper account
of the speech. . ."
Her comments to a gathering of Roman
Catholic legal professionals in Darien, Conn., came on the same day as
"Justice Sunday: Stop the Filibuster Against People of Faith," a
program produced by evangelical leaders and simulcast on the Internet and in
homes and churches around the country. . .
"These are perilous times for
people of faith," she said, "not in the sense that we are going to
lose our lives, but in the sense that it will cost you something if you are a
person of faith who stands up for what you believe in and say those things out
loud."
A spokeswoman for the California
Supreme Court, Lynn Holton, said no text was available because "it was a
talk, not a speech." Brown's office did not dispute the newspaper's
account. The Advocate quoted Brown as lamenting that America had moved away from
the religious traditions on which it was founded.
"When we move away from that, we
change our whole conception of the most significant idea that America has to
offer, which is this idea of human freedom and this notion of liberty," she
said. She added that atheism "handed human destiny over to the great god,
autonomy, and this is quite a different idea of freedom.. Freedom then becomes willfulness."
"But as we know now" Bill
continued, "The outlaws (those opposing the Bush judges) also had another
agenda in the works. There were some then who actually sought to charge the
churches a tax because they said that the churches were in reality political
parties that were only pretending to be churches. These heathen congressional
people also alleged that - ALL churches needed to pay not only current taxes,
but also ALL the back taxes that the Churches owed to all the other people, for
"crossing the line" into politics: This transgression they said, was
proven both by my speech, and by those Faith Based Initiatives that came from
the Oval Office, way back in 2000. Now you KNOW this stuff is nothing but lies,
because you KNOW the constitution was put there to make sure that the Christian
religion gets into every corner of American life - right?"

"Well," Winston thought, "Congress
had certainly been cleansed of all those unbelievers, after the tax war caused a
minor rebellion, since many believed that if the churches had paid what the
churches actually owed, then there would have been no need for any further taxes
anywhere. These taxes had "not been charged" for decades: while the
practice of pulpit politics continued its masquerade as a religion. This charade
was so great, that had the public been able to collect on it: all future taxes
could have been eliminated in the USA.
The holdings of the churches, their
properties, their secret partnerships, not to mention silent participation in so
many major corporate enterprises, governments, and global plots - the complexity
and the wealth at stake in all of that, quite literally, boggles the mind!
How was it, the people had wanted to
know, that those institutions could call themselves religions and still continue
to practice politics while being funded by their tax-exempt status? But it was
not only that: the brand of politics they were pushing on the rest of the
country was a view that actually sought to outlaw all other points of view
except their own - doing away with the laws, and replacing the courts with the
bible - so that all of this would be done because it was "prophesied"
thousands of years ago, despite being contrary to any thought or argument. So
this "Rapture" would be catered to, no matter the cost! Were these
fanatics stopped?
No - and of course there were no real
consequences for that fraud, but at the same time other questions were being
raised - others were calling for trials and prison, not only for the
congressional thugs that had let the so-called churches worm their way into the
government, but for those members of those churches that considered themselves
above the laws of the country: because they answered to F.A.C.E. (the
Fundamentalist American Christian Empire), and not to the United States of
America. It was thought that hearings ought to be held. But all of that was
simply laughed into oblivion!
Needless to say the good people of FACE
swiftly rose up to put the godless heathens in their rightful places, which was
out of government and out of the country all together - one way or the other.
And of course the churches could never be compelled to pay the same taxes that
everyone else (except the corporations) must pay - why should they? So that was
dropped as NOT having any sort of real possibility for collection - ever!
This whole rebellion was actually very
brief, and FACE members found it so comforting to see how the old guard just
disappeared, like dry land being swallowed by a Hurricane. Which just proved to
them, that the time was more than ripe for F.A.C.E. to take control.
Everything is so orderly now. Now that
there is no longer any inter-racial mixing of the peoples; no more of that
confusion brought on by so many different languages; now that there is only one
language and only one set of customs; and of course only one religion - now at
last this country can finish what was begun with Manifest Destiny (the
domination of the entire world)!

Of course there was so much to do at
first, back when all those screaming Banshees from the radical left accused the
righteous leadership of trying to convert women into Stepford Wives: That was
ridiculous of course! The women did become resistant, when it was explained that
their new jobs would begin at the feet of their husbands, and that they
personally would not be needed in business, but only in the home.
Once all this was clarified, discipline
began to work it's magic, and calm returned to life between the sexes. Soon we
were able to eliminate all challenges and to return to divide and rule or as we
say to Divine Rule - and then, well then things really tended to work very well!
No one can really measure military
success or failure just by counting transfer tubes, and besides, we've liberated
so many nations that this concept of freedom is new to - well - it will just
take some time for everyone to get used to their new circumstances. In the
meantime each new group seems to need to slaughter a few thousand of us, just to
show the world that they aren't just being used as America's lackeys. But the
jobs market thus created is filled with endless opportunities, for the right
kinds of people - if you know what I mean!
"Out there" which is anywhere
that is not here, it is rumored that our legions continue on, in their
consecrated task of cleansing all the continents of foreigners. There are
persistent rumors that we are losing whole armies, but this of course is false.
We know this because Brother Bill whispers the truth to everyone - to every one,
on every Sunday morning - and we know he never lies!
The most recent rebellion over
"fairness" was soon put to rest, after the initiation of the latest
tax pogrom: This was about making money by turning-in those that might be hiding
money, (proof had to be furnished - in receipts or videotape) hearsay was
unacceptable! As the new "information to control the cash" began
coming in, it became clear that the children were busying themselves with spying
on their parents Once snitching becomes more of a way of life, for the young,
then it is assumed that women will become more docile, too. The pogrom has just
begun and so much has already gone into Brother Bill's coffers or to the
registrar who keeps the tally of those that are "Living in Sin,"
(against the day when they shall be called to be sacrificed) for the improvement
of our flawed and sometimes wrongly practiced ways of life.
These "sacrifices" are so
much cheaper than prisons, and so much more effective, whenever they are used to
improve the public's attitude about what is needful and right in this very
conflicted world.
Also in the new world of F.A.C.E.,
there is simply no need for cops, given that we now have "The Legions of
the Righteous" who go about the world liberating all that godless loot that
the heathens amassed during the bad old times - when people were actually
allowed to think for themselves. Just imagine that! No "Sheppard - no holy
and infallible guide to fondle the genitals of the young and trusting among us?
Those must have been very strange times indeed, so unlike now when everything is
PERFECT!
Then Winston awakens just as touches of
the acrid smog begin to stain the morning breeze, but somewhere he also detects
the smell of roasting coffee - out there in the real world, and so begins to
dress. Thank god, IT hadn't happened yet, as that talking wooden
fool that leads the senate was still babbling on about the rightness of not
challenging Christian Judges, just because they are ________. Winston wondered
if the day would come when there might be something similar to F.A.C.E.? Time
would have to answer that: but he was nearly certain that most of this might
very well be coming true: This time - he really wanted to be wrong!
