The Declaration of Independence in Action
"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
The Declaration of Independence
Michael and Pamela kept uptodate on the changes in the American Laws. Michael and many political friends were aware of many underground militias that had a fair amount of ammunition. They were well aware a grassroots force of pioneer offspring and fourth and fifth generation kids of foreigners settling in America. The generations that came to America in the last forty years may have no clue of what Independence Day really means, unless they have the spirit to research or friends that can tell or show them what freedom means.
Michael also knew that the grassroots force was a Judeo/Christian thinking group that was not afraid to be very politically incorrect. They still had the idea that 'right' and 'wrong' are ideas that God wrote on stone. They are not 'relative' to certain situations, so they don't change. Like ideas that a man and ONE woman marry to have a family, kids respect their parents, and that married couples don't cheat each other to have sex with anyone else. Michael also pondered what effect the grassroots ideas would have on any politicians. Pamela was able to stay fairly informed about the latest news from the OSCAR satellite system. “Michael! The Governor of Utah is giving a special speech now. No video, but we can read the text of his talk.” said Pamela.
The Governor of Utah began his speech. “I address all citizens of the United States of America. After the Bill of Rights have been practically 'burnt at the stake' and American's liberties crushes before our eyes, my thoughts dwell on the words of Patrick Henry's 'Give me Liberty or Give me Death' speech of 1775. The Utah Congress and I decided to let each Utahan citizen make the decision themselves. 'Do I yield to the jurisdiction of the Sharia or not?'”
“However, collectively, the Congress and I also decided to allow all military personnel, from this time on, to exit the military service in Utah and immediately leave Utah or continue under the leadership of myself and our new military leadership in the Republic of Deseret. This means, that from now on, each American citizen in Utah have two options:”
“Accept rule of the new worldwide leader alMahdi and the Muslim Sharia and leave the Republic of Deseret.
Reject rule of alMahdi and the Muslim Sharia, and stay in the Republic of Deseret. Accept the Law of the Republic of Deseret, which includes the old First Amendment Freedom of Religion, not Freedom from Religion, but if you obey alMahdi's terrorist tactics, you will be prosecuted as a 'Terrorist against Deseret' in the new laws passed by the Deseret Congress.
“Roe versus Wade abortion court decisions left the choice up to each pregnant woman. Upon their choice, they use their stewardship to a young human being; Whether they give life or take life is their personal decision. Similarly, the choice is yours, whether you submit to Moral Police of reject life under Moral Police.
The new Prime Minister of the Republic of Deseret finishes his speech. Michael and Pamela look at each other with wide eyes of concern. Michael grabs his King James Bible to search the Book of Revelation. “Honey, this is right out of Chapter 13; verses 9 and 10: 'If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.' Looks like the Moral Police have a bit in store for them when they taser and shoot people. It describes the situation. When Moral Police limit people's choices, that is, leadeth into slavery, and inflict death, they will reap the same for themselves.”
When the Democrat controlled government had moreorless fallen off the left side of the planet earth, the State of Utah succeeded from the Union as the Republic of Deseret. It was not a Mormon Theocracy, but a democratic
Republic where most of the citizens were Christians who kept their priorities in this order:
Christ in their minds and actions
Spouse
Children
Job
Community
State
The past Governor became the Prime Minister of the Republic of Deseret. He gave the American military a choice of staying in Deseret in the new military service of Deseret or leaving Deseret to remain what had become the Islam Militia.
Therefore, the largest base in Deseret was Hill Air Force Base in Ogden. The PM of Deseret annexed southern Idaho to allow Boise, Mountain Home, Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Rexburg to be in Deseret. That included Mountain Home Air Force Base to cooperate with Hill AFB. In addition, the Tooele Army Depot, cooperated with the Deseret Prime Minister to form the military forces of the new Republic of Deseset.
A month later after the possibilities of air attacks into the Republic of Deseret were leaked by intelligence sources, the leaders of Nellis AFB near Las Vegas, Nevada quickly reversed their allegiance to Deseret, the home of Hill, and Mountain Home AFB.
In addition to smaller land in America, or as the Democrat controlled government had done, America had been renamed to United States of Islam, this exAmerica Moral Police had problems in getting the citizens to remain Islamic moral. Many times underground militias had caused problems for the Moral Police when they harassed a women for not being Islamic moral.
Therefore, the Moral Police were reinforced by regiments of the Islam Militia. This increased the staff of the underground militias. More Americans saw a need to oppose the Islam Militia when women were being harassed for not keeping Sharia Law.
Michael searched the Web a little more about America's situation.
Many of exAmerican citizens took Patrick Henry's words to heart. It was as if they read his whole speech from March 23, 1775, especially the last paragraph:
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peacebut there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
It also seemed that the 2nd Amendment had its positive results also. There was a split between some of the left leaning citizens. The academia favored the Sharia rule but the labor focused citizens went to arms when the Moral Police required a woman to always cover their heads when in public. And when prayer was required five times a day, trouble followed. When the Moral Police used tasers to 'remind' citizens to kneel and pray, more trouble and some shots killed Moral Police officers.
Once in Michael's studies in political science at CSU, he had done some research on the Democratic Convention in 1968 in Chicago. Democrats had divided on some issues, and riots occurred.
In conventions, the Democratic party occurrences were associated with some nonviolent protests, and some violent protests. The '68 Convention made the news by a series of very violent protests.
So what that means is that some of the leftleaning citizens can be very violent if they think that is the best action to take. Therefore, the action taken against Sharia rule was rather violent.
