I was reading and ran across something that made me realize
there are a few people who feel entitled that I would like to punch in the
nose. Still hold to my opinions previously that we have a problem with the use
of the term entitlement in the general sense currently and we may need to
address this differently.
And have you seen the AT&T commercial where they show
people enjoying something discomforting instead of enjoying Uverse. If you have
ever called their 800#s, you know what is discomfort. And on top of it the
geographical hold cable companies have is one reason people are leaving them.
Monopolies of any kind do not benefit the consumer. And it is not capitalism or
the free market. Another reason not to trust what the one percenters are doing.
And we need real tax reform. Anything this Republican
Congress passes will screw the clear majority of this country. Folks it is up
to us.

And now to continue the story
Jill still kept track of Congressman Greg as best she could.
She also knew about the other Greg. And the Russian spy. Jill was beginning to
put things together, yet still couldn’t figure out a motive. She was very aware
of world events and her job had her working extreme amounts of overtime the last
few days. She had very little time for her own projects, yet for Greg she found
a few moments. Jill was trying to tie together everything for her superiors on
Iranian troop movements and the news was not good. They were mobilizing,
calling up reserves, working intently with the Russians on logistics. They were
preparing for one large war.
Hezbollah started making forays into Israel. This was by
design now. Iran felt comfortable Israel would not join a war with the Saudis,
but they did not want Israel having the time to jump in at their own
convenience. Iraq having survived ISIS wasn’t too keen on another fight, yet
they started moving some troops south as a precautionary measure. Syria went in
right behind them and built up their army on the Iraq border, also prompted by
Iran and Russian. No one knew which way Iraq would go if they joined the
fighting. Russia was working with Iran to help cover their other borders if war
broke out. Terrorist groups ramped up operations throughout Europe, mostly on
their own taking advantage of the American troop announcement to rally their
operatives.
Jill kept track of the unfolding drama and knew more than
anyone and unfortunately more than the President since he wouldn’t listen to
anyone anyway. Paul’s superiors knew this trait about him and worked hard to
see him. Right now, he was playing commander in chief, so he spent his entire
time telling the Generals how great of a war he was about to win. The Pentagon
worked diligently to find some way out of the madness and still protect Saudi
interests.
The Russian spy had disappeared, and this worried Jill. She
had been trying to find him in the little spare time she had and to no avail.
He was in communication with the people in Iran, the Persian nationalists. They
didn’t call themselves Persian nationalists, however, this was basically their
aim. This group of people saw opportunity, yet were unprepared to implement any
takeover of the Iranian government so they did something the rest of the world
would regret. They were not terrorists, however, they tried bombing a
government facility. It was partially successful. The government agent who had
been in charge when they captured and tried to get answers from the American
spy realized this was some type of new group and internal. He was not listened
to by his superiors since he had blown the information on the American spy.
They publicly blamed Saudi’s. The Saudi’s filed a protest in the United Nations
and the Security council voted 4-1 in their favor, only Russia voting for
Iranian interests. China sided with the Saudi’s because they did not want war
at this time. Their military was concentrated in Southeast Asia still
aggressively trying to take over the South China Sea and the surrounding area.
They had gone all in on winning a skirmish with the US to take complete control
of all the Southwestern Pacific. They supported the Saudis, yet they saw the US
being stretched very thin with the troop commitment by the Americans. They were
playing their own opportunistic games.
The Pentagon reading Jill and others like her reports on all
the world movements were working feverishly to find an out because there was no
area where they had superiority on the planet and any fighting might catch them
in a serious deficit. The troops the President had promised were not in Saudi
Arabia yet, but they were pulled from Europe and some ships form South east
Asia. All headed somewhere and not being where they were needed immediately.
Russia started the war because they moved into the Ukraine
again. Not a real attack, just enough troop movement to cause Europe to panic.
Germany, France, and England sent troops to help the Ukraine government, but it
was the bombing in Iran that created the largest outbreak. Saudi bolstered by
the promise of help went all in and attacked Iran because they misinterpreted the
Security Council vote against Iran as allowing them the right to go to war.
The world went to war.
The next day Jill finally figured everything out and knew
the true cause of the war. Her work slowed as the military took over all
logistics of everything the US had. She still worked mind you, but she had more
time to work on her projects and Congressman Greg was her pet project right
now. She figured out the answer to a degree except she couldn’t put the motive
together. Nor the exact details of the incident.
Otherwise Greg was conscious and acutely aware the United
States had just joined a major war and no one in Congress had voted for one. He
was pissed and still bedridden.
Sheriff Daniel unknown to Jill and actually to himself was
about to be told the cause. Only he didn’t care about the war, he just cared
about Greg.
To be completed
