Chapter 13

THINGS ARE HEATING UP

About two months into the takeover, things were really heating up. The procrastinators and non-believers were in for a rude awakening. I was expecting this to happen and I wanted to share some of the reports I received. I had the military personnel on the streets secretly film some of the interactions in government offices around the country. A transcript from one of those occurrences read . . .

Unemployment Office

An overweight man stepped up to a window and passed a slip of paper to the female clerk behind the glass. The clerk studies the paper, then passes it back to the man.

Clerk: Sorry, sir; your benefits have been discontinued.

The man’s eyebrows almost crawl atop his head.

Man: Come again? I got three more months.

But the clerk shook her head.

Clerk: I’m afraid not. You recently cashed your final check. So, your long-term unemployment benefits have been discontinued as of this point.

Man: That can’t be so! I’ve been collecting those for years!

Now it’s the clerk who lets her eyebrows rise.

Clerk: Excuse me, sir? Years?!

Man: No, no, no. I mean—well, um—do you have any other kinds of benefits?

Clerk: I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean.

Man: I need to survive. How am I gonna survive?

Clerk: Maybe get a job?

Man: A job? A job? Where have you been? Nobody has a job these days! You don’t understand.

The clerk just gave him a look.

Clerk: I’m pretty sure I do. Next.

A young man stepped up to the glass and slid a slip of paper to the mustached male clerk. The clerk studied the paper, then looked at the young man.

Clerk: Form’s not complete.

The clerk slid it back toward the man.

Man: What—you—mean?

Clerk: What I mean is there’s a section not marked.

They stared at each other for a moment. The young man’s face just said, “Huh?”

Clerk: (impatient; “duh”) Look here at the drug test section. That must be filled out. You have to do that in Room 6 before you come to me.

Man: Oh, I know; never passed one of those things.

Now it was the clerk’s turn to lean in close.

Clerk: Then you can’t get one of these things.

The clerk tore up the slip of paper. The young man stood there, shaking

Clerk: Next!
