The Myth of America

Sometimes I like to write fiction stories with some sort of idea that I have had.  The following is the beginning of one such story.  It is a work in progrss and will likely change but by no means of the imagination is it the end of the story...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1947 an unidentifiable craft crashed in New Mexico and in 1969, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon planting a flag of American Imperialism and glory. Doing so emphasized the myth of American greatness and independence from tyrants. The years following did nothing to change this fact. The whole world seamed self-consumed with internal conflict and war.

In Genesis 3, Eve gave Adam fruit from the forbidden trees because he believed that by doing so, he would become like God, knowing good from evil. Truly, learning for all time what it means to be consumed by pride and the evil such sin brings. Following this the seed of Satan killed Abel, symbolizing the essence of the internal war all humans fight daily.

Cain continued to live simply because of mercy but his legacy of evil continued with him. Lamech demonstrated the continued depravity of human reason, when killed multiple people and bragged about it to his wives. Following this Cain’s descendants continued on in developing a culture of shadows and sin, so much so, that in Genesis 6 GOD flooded the whole world destroying mans with it.

Noah and his family alone survived this bringing with them the memories of evil. However, only a few generations later, mankind again held by pride. God confused language, and in turn man continued to fall into further corruption, held by the darkness of the heart. In 1947 and 1969, we witnessed yet another example the pride and corruption. Mankind was held by fascination for that which comes from the darkness of the sky.

Invaders entered our solar system and in turn landed on the moon. There they began to build a city on our moon. Building beneath the surface allowed that humanity would not know of their existence. Nations trampled each other down, all in accordance to a shadow empire waiting their time to strike, to bring down their greatest secret and weapon. The Vatican knew about them, Solomon is said to have known, truly every ancient society knew of them. Yet when they came, we were not ready.

They had traveled distant oceans of stars arriving here searching for their long lost paradise. The truth about which they really were, forever lost to the ages. So much so, was the conspiracy surrounding them that even after the arrived, we could not see it for what it really was. The seed of Satan, the shadows, had completely blinded us to the truth.

So when David became Prime Minister of the Remnant Nation of Canada being born of Aboriginal blood and being an orphan, his goal was to see freedom for the Canadian people. In those days, the Shadows easily abducted people from where ever they wanted and took them to the moon. There they were forced to work, genetically re-engineered by them to achieve their goal of building their capital on the moon, the one place, where the resisting nations could not easily attack them.

David was also a rare person, he had become a Christian an unpopular religion by this time. However, his victory over the Separatist of Trois River whom had decided to make a deal with the Invaders was hailed as a miracle. When he defeated the Invaders in direct battle just north of North Bay Ontario, it too was revered as a miracle, this was good for his reputation. No one had at this point managed to gain a direct victory over the Shadows.

Helping this were the Toronto Pentecostal Revivals lead by Pastor Mike Grady the same year. Also, there was a now famous church planter, Pat Weber, who had managed to build up many churches in the country. This gave the highly religious David a foundation of support to win the office of Prime Minister. The military victories over the enemy gave him a reputation and the very missionary Christians sent out by Weber Ministry and the disciples of Pastor Grady spread this reputation throughout North America. David then ensured his hold on political power by stealing technology from the Invaders and using it to develop defensive capabilities not available prior to this.

However, his greatest success was yet to come. While still Prime Minister, word had come to David through rumor that New York City, one of that truly free republics in the area, was being targeted by dictators who had made an alliance with the Invaders and therefore worked as servants of the Shadows. Not knowing for certain, he recruited a small force of 500 men and marched down to New York City. He took the city without resistance and provided it defense against a joint attack by the shadows and General Crapshooter. The Citizens of New York, accepted David’s gift of protection and nick named him King David of Canada.

Neither Shadows nor Generals whom had become bent on building empires of there own dared to attack Canada or any of David’s Allies. This gave the newly formed Canadian Empire freedom to grow and rebuild adding territory to their power every year. Many of these were former Provinces wanting freedom from dictators and former states of the U.S.A. Joining the New Dominion of Canada came with it the certainty that at least for a time, a city, or state or province would be able to rebuild. Then came the saying, all roads go to Ottawa.

David was considered a benevolent dictator and the media rarely chose to attack him. However, politically, there were those who would love to see David lose the office of PMO. They waited patiently for this opportunity. There were also Liberals who wanted to make peace with the Invaders to ensure that the Invaders would not come back. All citizens of the Dominion feared the day when David was gone, or defeated. Even with enhanced technology, it would only be a matter of time before they would come in full force.

The Prime Minister, felt it was best to rely on GOD. The religious loved this sentiment but the secularists hated it. Also, the people were tired of war, everyone knew this but David refused to work for peace. He would say, "these invaders and their puppets never cared for peace with us when we were beaten down and our cities ruined. What makes you think they want it now?" His opposition would say. "What David you think you can conquer all the world and keep it safe from the Shadows?" His answer was always the same, "it is my job, to protect Canada and her people and defend them I will."
