Chapter 23

“People who object to weapons aren’t abolishing violence, they’re begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically ‘right.’ Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.”

The White House issued the following press release to all news wires: “Early this morning, the Department of Homeland Security, along with the FBI and ATF, under the direction of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Justice Department, attempted to serve federal arrest warrants for various state officials in Texas, including Gov. Brent Cooper, in a remote area southwest of Austin, Texas.

“During the attempt to arrest these state officials, three federal agents were killed. There were also casualties reported at the site of the arrests. We know that a number of Blackhawk helicopters involved in this operation were shot down. We do not know at this time the number of casualties involved with those aircraft at this time. Also, our good friend and neighbor Mexico lost several jet aircraft while attempting to assist Homeland Security helicopters that were under attack by Texas jet fighters. Mexico has reported that Texas fighters bombed a border town airport.

“Several Texas officials were successfully apprehended in the raid. The president will make a statement to the nation live at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time tonight from the Oval Office.”

The statement from the White House only stoked the media firestorm, as they had been on a feeding frenzy of sorts since the news broke that something big had happened in Texas and the state’s governor was missing.

California, Illinois and New York news outlets offered live coverage of protestors burning the Lone Star Flag and other iconic symbols of Texas, protesting more deaths of federal agents, supposedly at the hands of Texans. The mainstream media continued to portray Texas as the problem, affixing blame to state leaders for the continuing crisis. Opinion polls that popped up online during the day showed an unfavorable opinion of Texas and its leaders of almost three to one.

Congressional members from both parties wasted no time in condemning the bloodshed, but few condemned the administration. World leaders in general criticized the raid, with the exception of countries like China and Russia, who had experienced uprisings from states like Chechnya that tried to break away from Russia as an independent state. Leaders in France and other countries wanted to convene an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. The fact that Mexico somehow became involved posed an imminent threat to regional stability, according to some of the permanent members of the Council.

While news reports during the day began to put a face to the names of the officers killed at the Swingin’ T and the civilians killed in the airport bombings, the mindset of average Texans, already simmering over the escalation of events that began with the Tea Party raids, began to boil.
