WHEN THE BLUE HATS COME
“219 killed in May, Damn,” Joe said to Dave as he read the headlines.
“The surge isn’t working,” said Dave. “But this is only the beginning. Soon the blue hats will come”
“How do you figure that?”
“Iran will be blamed for the failure of the surge. The president will again accuse Iran of supplying weapons, but this time he will order them to stop or face military reprisal. Then the UN will step in and take our guns. It is coming soon, in the next two years. Then they will take our guns. Better get them now before you have to register even shotguns” Joe and Dave were Vietnam War veterans who met for coffee on Wednesdays and Fridays before their support group.
Vietnam Veterans did not trust the government for good reasons. In February 1968, the North Vietnamese hit us with every thing that they had. They moved swiftly and took over major cities and South Vietnamese positions. With in six months we had taken back everything. They had spent most of their forces on the Tet Offensive. Westmoreland told Johnson that with 150,000 troops he could push the NVR north of the seventeenth parallel. Johnson sent 16,000 and the war went on for another ten years costing an additional 50,000 troops lives.
Joe thought about it on the bus ride home he had several guns including an Uzi. However, he mostly tried to put it out of his mind. He was an advocate for Veterans issues. Dave was running a camp for when the blue hats came. He sure did not want to go to that extreme. Just last month he had talked at the camp. .It was much different from what he expected if he had indeed any expiation. He encouraged them to get themselves registered to vote and write Senators and Representatives about our cause and to stand up for Veterans rights.
“No we need to keep a low profile. Don’t want to let them know besides we don’t know who we can trust!”
He had assured them that the government knows where you are all the time. “Let them think we have our minds on other things.” In addition, Joe was thinking more every day that his friend was right. Still he wondered how it might come about. Joe had went to college on the GI Bill but never declared a major. He did however spend a semester reading political science. He did not agree with the war effort in Iraq we were duped. However, we were there and should fight to win. They should have sent enough to do the job. The Generals should have anticipated the infighting that occurred afterward. Therefore, to get one world government the president gets us into a thousand year old war. War with Iran would precipitate an all out war in the Gulf. On the other hand, maybe he wants to start a civil war so we can take over their oil while they are fighting. By the time Joe got home, his head was spinning governed by what he called the committee in the back room. Coming into the apartment, he felt more relaxed. Joe did not like crowds. He locked and double-checked the doors and windows. He went into his office, the other bedroom. He opened the closet and checked out his guns. Dave keeps telling him to get more ammunition. All he wanted to do was relax. He turned on the news on TV. No! He thought, not this! The President was talking. He had warned Iran they if they continue to interfere it would mean war. He ordered the Seventh Fleet lead by the “fighting gun ship” the Oklahoma City to the gulf. Four aircraft carriers were close by on maneuvers. Wonder how that happened. The president had ordered reserves and National Guard units back to into active duty. Joe flopped down into his recliner the committee was debating. He jumped up and checked the doors. The phone rang startling him. It was Dave asking if he had heard the news. He had said that when to blue hats come you could always camp with me. Dave had reminded him to get ammunition and stock up on non-perishables. He remembered beef jerky would curb your appetite and give you your needed salt. He had been for the last two years been buying gold chains, which he figured it to be a medium of exchange. He was in touch with ten thousand vets most were working with him, passing on the word or bringing others to the website. If Dave was right, he had to act quickly. ‘Still how was this going to happen here?’ he thought. Joe thought back to his political class with Professor Winthrop. Hitler had used the violence in the street that he perpetrated to declare marshal law. That was the transition. He uses this war to declare marshal law, reinstates the draft to keep the peace at home. Dave is right all they have to do is change uniforms. He could hear Dave and his conversation.
“When the blue hats come first they will take our guns. “ Tell me again why is the UN coming here?”
“One World Order”
“But don’t we have the power to stop them? We still have the coast guard.”
“Don’t you see they are already in country? They are members of the Coast Guard and other forces. All they have to do is change uniforms.”
“Would not that be treason?”
“They are soldiers; they just follow orders without question. It is we vets who have to take the lead.”
. All of these things kept racing through Joe’s head. He placed his head in his hands and sighed.
Every one was heading for the gulf, leaving us venerable at home. Our home defenses were down because the president thought that most of the war would be fault in the Gulf. Most of NATO including Russia who had their own problems with Islam, held their breath but had silently informed America’s president they would help contain fighting to the area. He reinstated the draft. All forces in the European theater were heading for the gulf. Three hundred thousand were going to Iraq to guard the border with Iran. US war ships fired on Tehran as 700.00 Marines hit the beach. Iran not unprepared inflicted heavy causalities on the invading forces. Over one hundred forty thousand were lost in securing the landing. Syria along with Iranian commandos invaded Israel. Palestine Humas with the aid of Hezbollah invaded from the south. Egypt proclaimed its’ neutrality but did not block Shiites from going to Iran.
Iran also sent troops into Iraq to fight the Americans there and into Lebanon to fight the advancing Israeli troops. Fighting worsened out between the Summi and Shiite it was chaos. In Iraq, the Shiites backed by Iran captured Bagdad’s Green Zone and took over the government. Saudi Arabia moved in from the south with two hundred thousand fighting both American and Shiites for control of the southern oil fields. Israel sent troops into Palestine and carried out air strikes into Iran. In the beginning, Egypt tried to stay neutral but fighting broke out in the Streets of Cairo. After declaring Marshall Law there were immediate uprisings all over the country. There were no real alliances. Saudi Arabia and Jordan were the only countries where fighting was not on their own shores. Iran had a standing army of two million. One hundred thousand with the aid of Mexican illegal immigrants stormed the border. Over one hundred thousand were Iranian posted in the last year. While the president was rattling sabers with Iran’s president, he was building up his military. We had no home defense, border guards were easily over come since they only had side arms against advancing Armies. Chases of weapons were stored in country. Western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California fell quickly. Iran secured the area and gave it to Mexico as part of a treaty agreement. The President of Mexico replaced American police with his own. He Praised Iran for reversing a great injustice. All US forces at home defend the border but it took months for the movement to reach the fighting. Mexico had established its border while Iranian forces spread out through the United States. The president declared Marshall Law and reinstated the draft just as Dave had predicted.
Europe had broken out in pure chaos, separate wars all over the place with few alliances. In the Balkans, fighting was between the Serbs who were Christian and Romanians who were Muslim. Similar wars were going on all over Europe. Germany had rounded up all Muslims and put them in camps. Brittan was attempting the same thing but fierce fighting was going on in London. Ireland declared their independence and England because of the fighting at home was unable to stop the new state. FrFrance declared its’ neutrality but rounded up all weapons and made it a capital crime to carry a firearm. Turkey invaded Greece with out NATO to intercede it was a quick victory. With a tough Military reign, they were able to crush internal clashes quickly.
.
Joe had spent the last two years contacting as many as veterans do as he could, guiding them into the camp, and had managed to get four thousand. Dave’s camp now called “Free America.” covered a thousand acres in the northern California‘s mountains on the edge 500,000 of national forest. They now had forts and boarder patrols. Most of them were veterans and their families how had pledged each other the honor and sacred trust. The time had arrived to disappear. He turned off the GPS device on his cell. He was remembering the things his friend explained earlier. Any cell made after 2003 could not turn off the GPS device. Prepaid cells were the way to go. There first thing to do is get supplies and plenty of ammunition. Joe sat and signed, it seemed impossible. Get prepaid phones, he thought and pre paid ATM cards. He would slowly move his money into these untraceable cards. In the first year, bases were opening again. However, we all knew that these troops were not be deployed but are trained to wear the blue hats. If Dave was right, this conflict will bring us to the brink of WWIII. Then the UN would step in to broker peace. Then they will come for our guns. He went to the bank and emptied his safety deposit box. He put the fifty pounds of gold chains into his briefcase and wondered how much it would buy.
Street gangs and renegade cops controlled their own areas. Awaking sleeper cells carried out suicide bombings and planted roadside bombs. The white house was under siege and the president declared marshal law. However, the banks closed as well as the stock exchange. With no money to pay the police, most cities descended in to chaos. Communications were failing all over the country. Mostly the news we got was from vets who had found their way to us. Reports told us that there were five splinters in the gulf fighting each other. It was near impossible to tell who the enemy was. In the North East, most of New England asked Canada for protection and became providences of Canada. Muslins and Christians fought for control of New York, Chicago, DC. The rural north became a lawless void where only gold was used as mediums of exchange. Mercenaries were going to the highest bidder. The South was in much better shape. Different factions controlled much larger pieces of the pie. The Army of God controlled most of the rural south where because of their established large training camps. The rest of the South divided its’ allegiance between the White and Black Christian. Forces led by Harold Cain an ex military man turned Baptist preacher controlled North Carolina, South Carolina, and Northern Florida. The Black Nationalist Party controlled Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Though they mistrusted each other, they worked together for a common cause. Muslims there were crushed or on the run. Each had a bounty of ten ounces of gold.
Cuba had invaded Florida and was fighting in Miami with the exiles. Mercenaries were getting rich switching sides for the highest bidder. Patriot groups had established a line between advancing forces and us. The line ran from Huston Texas through the middle of New Mexico then to the High Desert. The evading forces along with established cells had taken Los Angles and all areas south of there. Street gangs fought for control. They did not know and did not care who they were shooting. The evasion had slowed down allowing patriot groups like America Patriots to establish front lines.
Several Christian groups claimed the mid west with large armies and better communications. Every one stopped by the Morality police arrested everyone not declaring their faith. They shut down the bars and church attendance was mandatory. Some reports were saying that people were being tortured in the form of the Great Inquisition.
White power radicals mostly ruled the Great Northwest. They were killing everybody that came close. Those not wearing WHITE POWER on their head were soon dead. A well-established border was set up between Washington, Oregon, Northern California and Montana, Idaho.
Native backed by money from the casinos had hired their own armies. They invited anyone who wanted to live in peace in but did not allow guns. The same thing was true in Nevada where poker chips were worth more than paper money or coins minted by a failing federal government.
Then there were groups like us waiting. We were now eight thousand strong. We do not leave our strong hold because we know this is just the precursor of things to come. Next, the UN will step in and broker a peace truce or at least a cease-fire. Then forces everywhere will don the blue hats of the peacekeepers. Then they would come for our guns. Gun registration made it easy.
We would wait until they have established a foot holds and before they take power.

I think the Texas accent is just a ploy to throw the gullible off guard, just like becoming a born-again Christian the moment it became politically advantageous. He's a rich and unscrupulous oil man and a ruthless warmonger, but he wants us to believe he's a regular guy and a good Christian. The only thing truly genuine about him is his stupidity.
