Why Vic Toews Laws are Worse Than Gun Laws

Stephen Harper, Vic Toews, Jason Miller and the rest of the lying Conservatives would have us believe that the Gun Registry (now dead) is the incarnation of all evil because it enables the tracking of a very specific group of people and their buying habits.

Well guess what? The proposed legislation from the Conservatives will do exactly that, but for every Canadian and in much more detail. And without having to tell you they’re monitoring you.

Take that, gun nuts. You’re being tracked whether you like it or not. Unfortunately, the Conservatives are pretending they’re on your side, but they just sold you out with something FAR more worse.

Ooops. Did they forget to tell all of us this? That they’ve introduced what amounts to something way more invasive than the gun registry for every single Canadian, despite our opposition to it?

And what bugs me most? Stephen Harper hides behind his ministers avoiding taking any criticism himself. It’s shameful that he’s leading this country.

C’mon people: tell the Conservatives to stay out of our lives.

Some More Crime Stats for Conservatives to Ignore

The Globe has repeated an array of crime stats that I’m pretty damn sure Conservatives will ignore, all as part of an important article reminding us that there are GOOD legislators and legal minds out there.

The decision is an important one because it proves that not everyone is behind the idea of stacking yet-to-be-built prisons for the Conservative’s ‘put-everyone-in-jail-that-disagrees-with-us’ crime agenda.

For those who aren’t familiar with these important stats, here’s another exhibit for you to send to your Conservative MP … even though they could care less about the reality of the situation.

Crime has dropped to a 44-year low. Why we’re committing so much time in the House of Commons to talk about crime, I do not understand.

Shootings:

1980: 0.8 per 100,000 population
2010: 0.5 per 100,000 population
Change: 38% decrease

Stabbings:

1980: 0.56 per 100,000 population
2010: 0.48 per 100,000 population
Change: 14% decrease

Beatings (including Conservative households):

1980: 0.48 per 100,000 population
2010: 0.34 per 100,000 population
Change: 29% decrease

And if you have a few moments this afternoon, this page also offers up an interactive map of crime in Canada, seems to show that crime is not an urban issue, but a rural challenge.

In other words, the people that voted for the Conservatives also seem to be the most prone to violence. Of course, I don’t know this for a fact, but it would be fun to compare Conservative ridings with crime rates.

And if the hypothesis proves true, perhaps Darwinian politics will save Canada in the long run, as the Conservatives start to jail their own supporters with their ‘tough on crime’ agenda.

Ode To A Grecian Burn

Oh, Greece! What have you done?
You’ve given up before the war was won.
You laid down before the greedy banks
And told your people they should give thanks
For the promises that you have made
In exchange for debts to be repaid.

Scylla and Charibdes squeeze you down,
While Europa’s Bull tries to steal your crown
The world’s against you, but they forget
Your gift: democracy, agora, and better yet
The roots of Christendom lie at your feet
Perhaps Chiron your healer or even Zeus
Lend so much to carpenter Jesus
Who had once said better to get a camel
Through a needle’s eye, than compel
The money lenders to end their lies
And to expect them to exercise
Any kindness or heart towards these
Great creators on their knees.

Now we hang our heads in shame
And avarice is what we need to blame
The greed of croesus, mannon too
The bankers that declared “screw you”
as you chased the taurean pride
For finances to save your side

You told the rest of the globe
That democracy no longer had a hold
on the fate of your intellectual might
As you shed peace to cast us into the night

Oh Greece, where did you go?
I weep, but not for Papendreou
I cry for all which the world aspires
One’s ability to act on desires
You have proven we are at the end
Of freedom, our unfaithful friend

Our liberties are all for sale
In exchange for TV ads and junk mail
Selling us the latest crap
From the euro pimps who set your trap
Buy we will, and shop we must,
For recovery! In debt we trust!

With apologies to Keats

If Libs are Nazis, What Does That Make the Conservatives?

Conservative MP Larry Miller hauled out the ‘H’ word last week in the House of Commons, suggesting that the Liberals, in their support of the gun registry, are big fans of Hitler. For some reason, the gun registry was up for discussion in the House (Again? Didn’t the Cons kill this? Don’t they have anything else on their agenda? Or is it truly all hidden, like the pundits say?).

As MP Larry Miller retorted,

Sen. Sharon Carstairs said the following [she didn’t]: ‘The registering of hunting rifles is the first step in the social re-engineering of Canadians.’ That is what Adolf Hitler tried to do in the 1930s.

Suggesting that Liberals and NDPers want to allow totalitarian states to come in and rampage our lives.

Enter the Conservatives …

Today, Justice Minister Vic Toews introduced the ‘with us or against us’ line from Herr Bush’s bygone days and suggested that if you’re interested in online privacy, you might as well be a big, fat perv chasing 10 year-olds online. Because in the Conservative world, it’s black and white.

Apparently, there are NO other options.

The exact quote was (research credit: ):

anyone opposing the laws favours the rights of child pornographers and organized crime ahead of the rights of lawabiding citizens.

Give it a friggin break.

If the so-called Hitlers are on the opposition, what does that make the Conservatives?

More importantly, who are the morons who voted for these people?

Oh … and by the way? Know your history: it was Hitler that used people’s private information as he invaded countries like Holland, which was the epitome of peaceful, respectful people until the Nazis plowed through town. Having a registry wasn’t ‘Hitlerian’. Using information against people was what Hitler did.

The Conservatives propose to do the exact same thing with your personal online information.

In other words, evil is what evil people do with information, not the information itself.

A Good Interpretation of Herr Harper’s Retirement Plans

The NDP has hit the nail on the head with this simple translation of outrageous spending on stupid projects like the F-35s and bottomless prison budgets.

At least one party is trying to keep the Cons honest.

Perhaps ALL Canadians won’t be so ignorant when the next election comes around.

The Unspoken Holocaust

Millions of civilians have died as a direct and indirect result of US and NATO-lead actions in foreign countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, and Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) has resulted in an estimated 6 million plus civilian deaths.

Concern is typically reserved for US troops and the other casualties and deaths virtually ignored. No monuments, no headlines, no concern.

Most of these deaths were in Vietnam and the rest of Indochina, but the numbers for Iraq are just as urgent: estimates range from 400,000 to 650,000 civilian deaths since the Americans ‘occupied’ Iraq.

In World War II, there were similar ‘genocides’ happening with Ukranians, gypsies, homosexuals and others in addition to the Jews.

Are these examples above America’s genocide?

Excited Delirium Chapter 68: Get Garamond

Author’s Note: The following is Chapter 67 of the my online book “Excited Delirium”. Please post comments. Please tell your friends about this story. If you’ve missed a chapter, please click here for Chapter 1 (Prelude) or here for the full index.

None of the guys had slept the Friday night in anticipation of what was going to happen on August 8, 2008 and all of them were now exhausted. Nonetheless, it was early Sunday now and they had agreed to meet Diana at her apartment in Greenwich Village.

When they arrived, they were invited in by another woman who clearly played the role of Diana’s body guard. She was firm, carved, large and chiseled, the way a massive bird’s eye maple bowl might appear after being well handled by an expert carpenter with a fantastic vision. In this case, the vision was what a woman might look like if the world was not inhabited by men.

She guided them up a set of stairs, and they all admired her broad back as they followed, nodding to each other and giggling the way stupid, tired men will do.

At the door, she did a retinal and fingerprint scan, which seemed completely over the top for what Kite knew about Diana. Of course, in time a lot more secrets would be revealed about her that he never would have imagined.

Inside, the décor was sparse and minimalist, but at the same time, it had a comfortable, lived-in feel to it. What struck all of them was that wall after wall was covered with books. They had a few moments to wait while Diana got ready for their visit, so they stood around and stared and the volumes along the walls.

In a way that only marketers could admire, each of the men observed that she had a wide selection of books that interested each of their personalities. Eddie zeroed in on the wide selection of business and political biographies, including people like Giuliani, Jack Welch, John Major, and Eric Prince, the former CEO of Blackwater, one of the world’s largest mercenary-for-hire companies. Chaos noticed that she had a fine collection of books devoted to the latest in military and intelligence technology, whereas Hummus was keen to observe that she was an avid fan of farming, organics, independent communities and alternative lifestyles. Forest wasn’t much of a reader, but he loved biking and karate and saw that she had just about every issue of Freeride, a small magazine devoted to extreme mountain biking.

Kite had a moment to watch his friends, but also admire her collection of conspiracy biographies, books by Chomsky, Klein and other leaders in progressive thought, back-issues of Hacker magazine and a vast collection of graphic novels, including all of the original Sandman issues in perfectly hermetically sealed mylar bags.

Within a few moments, she appeared and it was the first time most of them had seen her in person. It was the first time that Kite saw her without any disguise. She possessed what Kite would later call “a sense of casual nobility”, the way some actresses have an aura that everyone likes to be around.

Kite wasn’t hooked on her all at once, but he did recognize a long absent feeling that welled up inside him like a lawn that’s received too much water. At a certain point, water, like his emotion, could not be suppressed.

“It um … it’s great to see you, Diana,” Kite said, with emphasis on the word “see”.

“You as well, my friend. I see we’ve finally all decided to stop playing masquerade games in the interest of the stability of the world.”

“Absolutely. Plus, I forgot my fake mustache at the hotel where we were staying,” he said with a grin, as he reached over to grab her hand and greet her.

“I see you’ve brought some friends. I recognize Eddie and Forest, but who are the other two?” she asked with a mild sense of suspicion.

“Chaos and Hummus are the two best partners a corporate spy could ever imagine having. Chaos has been in the military hardware business for more than 15 years now, moonlighting on occasion for my projects. He has the best connections for hardware, munitions – although I rarely need those – and insight into other unimaginably disgusting products that private contractors are building as we speak. And Hummus? He’s been an independent techno-wizard since day one. I don’t think he ever worked for someone other than himself. Hummus was the first programmer to hack McLeod’s anti-virus software and was able to sell the access for just a few dollars – in the high six-figures, right – which he then donated to an open source collective.” Kite’s appreciation of his two partners was obvious and unabashed.

“Yeah … and we’ve wasted many years of good talent on some clown like Kite here,” Chaos joked casually.

“Hey! That’s not fair. I bring in quality connections and contracts. And besides, we have fun doing it, so it’s not really ‘work’”.

“No, I suppose not, but a little deodorant once in a while might keep us from cutting you up any chance we get.”

“It’s part of the schtick …” Kite said defensively. He was turning a mild shade of red, all the while hoping no one noticed his embarrassment.

“Gentlemen, I really hate to interrupt, but we have some very serious business at hand here. The shit’s hit the fan,” Diana said as Chaos and Hummus looked at each other with a nod, “and we seem to be the only people who have a clue about why it’s happened and we also seem to be the only people who have the desire or capacity to do anything about it.”

“Damn straight,” said Eddie, failing in an attempt to be macho. “My name’s all over this nonsense and we’ve got to get something to hook on Garamond and Hadlock if any of us are going to see the light of day within a couple of weeks.”

“Don’t worry Eddie. We’re going to work out a plan today. Officials don’t seem to be interested in what you’ve had to say to this point, which begs the notion that it may not have been a complete inside job, but at least there are key players that don’t want anything less that a complete collapse in relations between the US and China[noyb1] .”

“I’ve heard that there are hundreds of ships already sitting in the waters outside of Beijing waiting to descend on the people there and start rebuilding the city,” Hummus said.

“Well, it’s hard to know anything for sure,” Chaos added, “but I’m sure this will be the same shock doctrine that our friends in the government used for Iraq and Afghanistan and other countries in the past. Blast and build. Blast and build. And make sure the taxpayers of the receiving country pay for our services for decades to come.”

“There’s no doubt in our minds that this is the big one. China has been a mild economic and potentially military threat to the US for decades and I think more people than just Garamond wanted to make sure that it’s influence came to an end.”

“All they needed was a Pearl Harbor or Reichstag Fire to get things moving in the favour of some well connected politicos and businessmen,” Kite suggested.

“And now they’ve got it,” Diana added. “If the Chinese don’t let US industry take over and allow a puppet government to be installed, the US will cry bloody murder, probably to the UN, and get the global OK for some kind of incursion.”

“When is it going to end,” Hummus said as he nodded his head in shame.

“When the human race stops being so fucking greedy,” Eddie said, showing that he actually did have the capacity to be something other than the best man on campus.

“Let’s set up at the dining table,” Diana cut in, again demonstrating that she was and wanted to be the one in control.

The rest didn’t say anything as they made their way over to the dining room, which was a fairly vast and open room, much larger than your standard 10×15 foot dining room that you’d expect with an apartment with this. Instead, it was about 30×50 feet, more like a banquet room or a meeting room for a major corporation. The table in the middle again seemed modest, but was well made and to a discerning eye, obviously painstakingly hand-made by a skilled carpenter.

“I see you like the table,” she said to Hummus who seemed the most appreciative.

“Yes … it’s made by someone in the area?”

“I bought it a few years ago at an auction. It was one of the few prototypes from a Greene and Greene studio in up-state New York. I paid a small fortune for it, but I love it so.”

“Nice find,” he said as he placed his laptop on the table carefully. “Do you have something I can put under it?”

“Don’t worry about it – I’ve had it resurfaced with a special finish that makes the surface virtually indestructible.”

“My god!” Eddie interjected. “I can’t believe we’re talking dining hardware when the world is tipping it’s way into oblivion!”

Forest joined in: “Yeah, shouldn’t we be getting our Justice League of America response ready for the general public or something?”

“Well, we’ll need to be a little more strategic than that,” Kite offered, mainly with an intent of getting things going. “I’ve been thinking about this for the last twenty-four hours and I think the best approach will be to expand on the OMNINet’s weakness. We know that they don’t ‘get’ the internet. They’ve just bought a bunch of net companies to keep them from being true competitors to the rest of their media conglomerate and I think it’s time we show them the real power of social networking.”

“So … what do you propose we do?” Chaos asked.

“The authorities aren’t listening to us. Garamond and friends obviously have too much pull there. The media won’t play the official story. So, what were once reasonable channels of action are blocked.”

“Like a Chicago Bears defensive line,” Eddie said.

“Worse than that. There don’t seem to be any gaps or points of entry to the mass public, at least from a traditional standpoint,” Diana finally added.

Kite continued: “Each one of us has a network of people that we can tap into. We have to do the ‘my child has fallen down the well’ thing or something else that begs the rational people of the world to tell the US and American businesses and charities to back off from China until it can get its act together.”

“But if everyone backs off, who’s going to help save the Chinese from the disaster?”

“Hey, I’m not saying the plan is perfect. Maybe we should ask people to get the UN or some other international body that can be trusted to help organize things? We just have to keep out the missionaries and other folks that are looking to convert the godless commies to religious droids because of their support.”

“Yeah, sure,” Forest offered. “There’s a tonne of groups that have services like Doctors Without Borders or the International Aid Society. We just have to pick wisely.”

“Odds are, they’re already there too, trying to get in.”

“Hey guys …” Hummus said. He was already set up and had his laptop working. “A number of news stories indicate that the military is trying to muscle in. That could be bad news as it looks like the government is decapitated.”

“Actually,” Chaos interrupted, “most of the reporting has gone dark,” Chaos said worriedly as he leaned into his laptop, trying to collect updates from the web. He was scanning blogs, news centres that offered English services, the International News Corporation site and some of the more mainstream publishers, but was coming up with very little new and relevant information.

To make matters worse, very few of the sites were operational.

Like 9/11 and when the tsunami struck East Asia, demand for internet bandwidth exploded, as people searched out loved ones or entertained their morbid curiosity, like digital rubber-neckers, sometimes causing more problems than the problem itself. Or it was the demands placed on the entire electronic infrastructure as millions of people tried to share their story with the rest of the world.

Like 9/11 and when the tsunami struck, most telecom companies were unprepared for the volume of demand imposed by billions of onlookers, crashing servers, clogging video sites and bringing the internet to a grinding halt.

The few that remained operational, particularly those managed by the OMNINet, didn’t allow for a lot of dialogue. There were no blogs, there was no capacity to post comments and there were no “contact us” pages listed with any of their news stories. All that was available were some of the well-rehearsed diatribes against China and its controlling government.

“Questions are being raised about why China wasn’t allowing even reporters in to cover the disaster, let alone why its government wasn’t allowing businesses and charities in to help with reparations,” Hummus suggested as he continued to scan the few sites that were available.

“All of the available sites and blogs have common sources when I check the ‘who is’: OMNINet. Somehow, they’ve managed to keep afloat where others are sinking.”

“They knew this was going to happen,” Eddie said to the group.

“We can use that to our advantage,” Kite said, a sense of excitement rising in his voice.

“OK … but we’ll have to act fast before the thugs move in and get organized,” Eddie said.

“Agreed,” several in the room said in unison.

“Let’s start with our assets,” Kite suggested. “We’ve got the recording with Garamond on tape. We can build a presentation, dump it on a bunch of video sites and ask people to tag it so that it gets spread.”

“But the net is still on overload,” Chaos reminded the crew.

“Yeah. Which is where asset number two comes in,” Kite responded confidently. “Eddie: did you save that file to your computer like I instructed?”

“Damn straight! I did it all myself.” His sense of fool’s pride would be comical and in any other situation, all of them, including Diana, would have jumped on him and given him a verbal beating.

“Good. Forest: now that we’ve got a kernel with the OMNINet system, can you give us some of the access codes so that we can hack in and blast some of our message across the OMNINet web service and digital TV programming? We need to do this without the risk of getting shoved out of the way by controllers at OMNINet media.”

“I can get you in. It’ll be up to you guys to germinate the seed and make it grow,” Forest offered.

“Excellent. We’re almost there. Chaos. Hummus. Do you guys have the links ready for connection to the OMNINet servers? Once we go anywhere near their nerve centre, we’ve got a very limited time-frame to splice our message over theirs.”

“We’re getting close. We should be there within a few more minutes.” When they answered in unison, it creeped out most of the people in the room. Kite had seen it many times, but it was new for the others.

“Great. Hold off until we get the news stories and media components ready. Diana: are you ready to do some narrating? We’ve got some news stories to generate.”

“Absolutely! You guys get started. Kite, can I talk to you?”

[Author’s Note: I conceived of this plot component in 2006 and wrote most of these chapters into the story of ‘Excited Delirium’ during the course of 2007. I was stunned like the rest of the world when a tragic earthquake struck the province of Sichuan on May 12, 2008. Please believe me that I do not want to ‘profit’ from the suffering that the hundreds of thousands in this quake experienced. I remind all readers that this is a work of fiction and that my goals are to speak to the symbolic reference that’s used in the numerology along with the viewpoint of one fictional cult concerning the fate of the Chinese.]

Notes on London Public Meeting re Flouride

I didn’t attend, but I got this recap via email from Chris Gupta, who I believe is located in Kitchener-Waterloo:

Here is a commentary on the recent (Jan, 25th, 2011) Public Participation Meeting (PPM) on Fluoride in the City of London, Ontario.

The meeting started with a strong pro fluoride stance form the City engineer. His lack of knowledge on chemistry of the toxic wastes used to fluoridate water could embarrass even a high school student never mind his own profession. He blatantly violated his “duty to public welfare” as in his own professional code of ethics in broad daylight. He tried to convince the audience with totally absurd statements, such as, how the highly impure hydrofluorosilcic (HFSA) magically disassociates and becomes pharmaceutically pure in our water. Never mind the contaminants! We are to take it that they simply vanish into thin air? This is akin to saying that road salt magically become pharmaceutically pure Sodium Chloride when it is put in our cooking water!

On the other hand, it was an utter joke to see the so called authorities skate all over the map with their “Safe and Effective” Mantra. They looked totally ridiculous in front of the public – much of their presentations were literally reduced to face saving circular credentials from self serving organizations parroting the same mantra. All the while totally oblivious of how really ignorant they really looked… They were far far less aware on the damaging effects of fluoridation chemicals then even the least educated, but informed citizens! Some spent most of their, speech allocation time, patting themselves on what great authorities they were with nary a word about the subject matter. Any discussion or data on teeth was based on “assumptions” and/or “expert opinion” and fear through gory mouth pictures hardly relevant to water fluoridation. The whole charade was a desperate marketing effort given that they had no real science behind them.

It is hard to fathom what many of the City councillors see in such a pathetic performance? To add insult to injury, instead of looking towards a balanced and unbiased expert panel (which the City deliberately prevented) they have yet again gone back to the same pro fluoride characters who are unable to answer even the most basic citizen questions. These of course have been conveniently ignored numerous times in the past. Another classic delay tactic given that they are not even able to address the most basic health and environmental questions that the far far less credentialed, but informed public, so articulately put to them. These health authorities are not bright enough to realize that they should have cut their losses and redeemed some credibility by consenting to stop deliberately contaminating our water! The authorities, even with all their credentials, clearly don’t realize that their stance does not bode well with their other public health policy measures…

As for the councillors they are just as myopic, they have not had such a turn out of public on anything except possibly the stopping the use of cosmetic pesticides. In this instance we yet again had Health Canada defending the indefensible at our expense. One wonders why these politicians don’t see the writing on the wall? After all, the turn out at the PPM by necessity was only a small subset of their voting base.

Obviously, this issue is not going away. It is hard to understand why the City can’t see this. Once informed there is no turning back – except for those whose lively hood depends on the sickness and waste industry interests – This fact can’t be made any more clearer than that!

Why is it that those who are supposed look after our health, invariably end up betraying the very people who have put their trust in them? It was quite telling in that with one exception, bless his soul, there were no speakers from the whole medical community to bat for our health! Such is the state of our medical system and the control over our professionals… It is amazing how the citizens have to struggle with their own money and time to maintain a semblance of balance while the government funded and payed industry shills get away with crime under the facade of authority and democracy.

This is yet again a prefect example from many why democracy is a great pretense for freedom. Is it any wonder that the industry and the governments have come to love it? All one needs to do is withhold information and/or provide miss information or at worst bribe to herd the people to vote.

For without proper informed consent and knowledge which is invariably insured not to happen by such farcical authorities and the essentially controlled media – democracy becomes mob rule and cannot work!

No one in their right mind should be suggesting a plebiscite to violate environmental, fisheries, safe water, medical, drug and food laws under pretense of democracy! To suggest that the deliberately misinformed be asked to decide to violate or not to violate our basic right to clean water is classic example of brain fog unless they have ulterior motives.

Excited Delirium Chapter 67: Aftershocks: China Scene of Devastation

It was late in the evening, Beijing time, when the first murmurs of life started to show in what was once a great city.

Before the Olympics were set to start in August, the estimated population was 17 million, but that official number barely accounted for the 2-4 million people that inhabited the hutong, or mazes of alleyways, that surrounded the city. That number was, thankfully, depleted significantly due a government edict that “encouraged” people to leave for holidays and to rent properties to incoming tourists and sports enthusiasts. That, and the actual brutal program of shoving a vast majority of unwanted people out of the city so that it would be clean and presentable for the onslaught of the visitors.

These guesses and figures are important, because to this day, there is still a significant amount of disagreement concerning the number of people that were killed in the Great ’08 and most now acknowledge that we will never know how many people paid with their lives for the ambitions of a select few in North America.

Final official statements were that more than two million either died or were classified as missing (and never found) during and after the Quake. The majority of these people were unsuspecting tourists.

In the past, China had kept the door shut on any interference from international bodies when disaster struck, be it natural or man-made, and in the hours and days that followed, the response was no different, but for reasons that many would not have expected.

The largest government in the world resides in Beijing where the President of the People’s Republic of China (PROC) chairs the National People’s Congress, a party that consists of nearly 3,000 elected seats. These elected officials are supported by tens of thousands of bureaucrats. Few survived the Great ’08 as few were prepared for the fierceness of this seemingly natural attack on their nation. They were preparing to show the world how great China was and they paid with their lives as others sought to bring about a cataclysmic shock.

The original plan for Garamond, Hadlock and a long line of others that wanted China wiped from the map was to marginalize its government. Without an official government, China would wander and fail to respond to desperate pleas from the international community as people arrived at their doors with open hands and buckets of cash.

Most officials of China were now crushed under a tomb of angry steel fingers that squeezed the life out of them when the “Bird’s Nest” – the official Olympic Ceremonies Stadium built specifically for the Olympics – collapsed after the 9.8 Richter scale earthquake and smaller, yet still significant, ripples shocked through the city. The building was crushed as easily as a collection of toy cars get thrown when a child shakes out a small rug.

A headless state, regardless of where it’s located, results in two things: the loss of a lot of blood and the appearance of heroes who try to squelch the pandemonium.

If there was sufficient leadership and guidance, particularly with the intent of digging into the rubble and pulling out a satisfactory status quo, the crisis in China would not have drawn as much attention as it did.

Problems would have been solved, people might have been saved and countless millions might still be with us. Or so we in the West were lead to believe as out politicians descended on the state and began seeking ways to interject private companies and public charities on the will of the Chinese.

By Monday morning, reps from all of the divisions of the OMNINet, along with many other companies, sat in emergency boats and container ships in the Bay of Bo Hai, which is the closest body of water near Beijing. They sat in media rooms and press galleries around the world, waiting to press the ‘enter’ button that would flood the market with stories about how evil the Chinese Empire is and how it needs to be changed. They sat in the offices of Congressmen, EU officials and in Asian foreign affairs departments, patiently waiting for the command to proceed with plans.
