"It was sixty-seven years ago yesterday," said Colin Powell in front of the O.U.T.R.A.G.E. cameras. "America's 'day of infamy' - when the Japanese attacked our nation at Pearl Harbor. Never before had our nation been attacked by a foreign enemy. With valor and confidence, America's fighting men went into action. The country mobilized itself toward one goal: victory. Our factories were transformed overnight into a mammoth war industry unheard of in modern history. Young women, used to being housewives or secretaries, became our 'Rosie the Riveters' and proudly went to work in factories to support the war effort. Few, if any, American citizens argued against our involvement in this world war. It was vital to the security and safety of our citizenry. Yesterday, across the country, special tributes were given to those men and women who died to preserve America's freedom. Nowadays, it's a new era. Today, we have come to understand that 'war' is not an appropriate boulevard to peace. While this nation is still ready, willing and able to defend its borders and protect its citizens, the United States of America will - from this moment on - NOT become embroiled in the supercilious conflicts that plague our world. Instead, it is this nation's pledge to do everything it can to eradicate the word 'war' from the world's vocabulary. Surely, there are better ways to resolve conflict. Surely, we will explore and implement those alternatives. With God's help, the United States of America has a new mission: bring peace and harmony throughout the world. May God guide us toward such objectives."
Powell's speech was not purely philanthropic. He, McCain, and Obama knew that the United States had little military prowess left. O.U.T.R.A.G.E. had destroyed - or, at least, dismantled - military operations throughout the country. Military bases no longer existed to any degree of substance. The world's largest office building - The Pentagon - lie in ruins, as did the military command.
Changes were prevalent in every region of the nation. "Big business" had been obliterated. Now, for example, there was no Verizon. There were only Verizon offices still functioning as "Jim's Local Phone Service". Consumers were elated that they could now actually speak to someone locally about their phone service problems. No more "800" calls to some unknown customer service representative in India; you could actually call "Jim" and he'd resolve your problem immediately. The Verizon corporate headquarters had been demolished, and most of the Verizon executive echelon of top-level management, that did little except collect million-dollar bonus checks, had been dead since last January.
The Bush administration's plan to suck all of the oil out of Iraq's sands lay in ruins, too. At the 1998 Bilderberg conference, the Bush/Cheney team had been selected to assume power in the White House so that "big oil" could take over Iraq's rich fields of cheap, easily-accessible oil and reap billions of dollars in fresh profits. Gasoline prices would soar in the U.S. to as much as $3.50 a gallon by the spring of 2007. And 'big oil" would continue to plunder Iraq's oil until every single penny of profit could be squeezed out of that black-soaked sand. Those billions in profits, of course, would go to oil executives - but some financial reserves would be allocated to the development of "alternative" fuels. Once all the oil was gone, the oil industry would transform itself into an 'environmentally friendly' corporation that would manufacture and market alternative sources of fuel, including Ethanol-85, fuels made from used cooking oils, power sources created from wind and water, fuels made from soybeans, and fuels made from the grasslands of the Midwestern United States. The long-range plan was to let 'small enterprises' develop the technologies, build the plants, and test the viability of these products. Then, once all the oil was used up and these new alternatives were proven, 'big oil' would come clambering in to take over these 'mom and pop' operations, raise prices, and market themselves as the 'good guys' who only wanted their customers to get the 'very best'. Of course, 'big oil' had no interest in saving the environment; all it saw was potentially proliferous profits.
O.U.T.R.A.G.E. had effectively destroyed the 'big oil' corporate headquarters and almost all of its top management. The two oilmen who occupied the Oval Office were also now dead and buried. Colin Powell talked about a 'new beginning' where 'war' would be eradicated from the face of the Earth. His underlying message was also meant to imply that 'big business' would no longer win the commercial 'war'. There would be lots of room for the 'little guy'. Monday, December 8, 2008 was the marked beginning of Powell's new mission. While it had been an ongoing 'work in progress' for many months, O.U.T.R.A.G.E. was now poised to ensure that 'big business' would never dominate the U.S.A. again - and certainly would never rule the United States government.
