A Democrat administration decides to secretly purge the country of 2,000 right wing bloggers, radio hosts and social media personalities during a Middle East war and several terrorist acts in the US that temporarily cripples the internet and cellular communications.

They use several federal agencies to round up these people and ship them off to an isolated prison complex in the Midwest and execute them and incinerate the bodies.

The purge is slowly discovered by the right and they start assassinating federal officials and leftists media figures.

It’s a good read if you have a couple of minutes.

Sounds like a Tom Kratman book, in story story form. Might be worth a read. Thx.

It is a good "Tom Clancy" type read.

quote:

That’s when we began to hear of “The Militia of One.” In the end there were too many rifles, and too many willing shooters. A number that was constantly heard was twenty million. That was the number of Americans who supposedly went deer hunting every year, against less than 200,000 armed federal agents.

quote:

They freely posted comments such as, “You can take away our rights, but we still get to vote under Rule 308,” (which I have since learned refers to a popular rifle caliber).


quote:

My twin essays represent starkly different “visions of the future” that would-be tyrants, their hopeful henchmen and other self-deluded nimrods may want to consider, before ordering the U.S. military or federal agencies to suppress Americans.

Sounds like a takeoff from the Book “Unintended Consequences “. It wouldn’t take many assassins for hell to break loose.

Actually not a bad read, for fanfic. The writing is a bit weak, and the conversations are very stilted, but the story is entertaining, as were some of the little throw-away comments.
quote:

the commissioning of the Harvey Milk, the Navy’s newest destroyer.
quote:

my guards seem to revel in reactionary notions of chivalry, pointedly calling me “ma’am,” and asking about my comfort. Pen and paper and a better pillow they are happy to provide. I hate them all the more for their sexist bourgeois manners.
quote:

At times like this, I almost wish I believed in an afterlife, like those fools deluded by the opiate of religion.
It really does read like Kratman wrote it.

He wrote a trilogy called Enemies Foreign and Domestic that you may want to check out.

There is a 6 part documentary on the Spanish Civil War that provides great insight into the communists taking over Spain. The blue-print hasn't changed much.
