(This essay and last week’s “When The Music Stops—How Our Cities May Explode In Violence” were both written in response to the article published on July 25, 2012 in the semi-official Small Wars Journal titled “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A Vision of the Future.” My twin essays represent starkly different “visions of the future” that would-be tyrants, their hopeful henchmen and other self-deluded nimrods may want to consider, before ordering the U.S. military or federal agencies to suppress Americans.)

"What I Saw At The Coup"

Short-fuse fiction by Matt Bracken intended to spread alarm among progressives, in the spirit of dispiriting them from ever attempting such a mad folly in order to cling to power.

This short story and last week’s “When The Music Stops—How Our Cities May Explode In Violence” were both written in response to the article published on July 25, 2012 in the semi-official Small Wars Journal titled “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A Vision of the Future.”

My twin stories represent starkly different “visions of the future” that would-be tyrants, their hopeful henchmen and other self-deluded nimrods may want to consider, before ordering the U.S. military or federal agencies to suppress Americans.

Very talented BUMP!

Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of socialists/totalitarians. C’mon November.

McGee BTT as always. I can think of no greater honor than to be on that list of 2000. If I’m not, though...well, then it’s open season. In Finland during the Winter War they used to publish the sniper kills in the newspapers like sports scores. Just sayin’.

Always a good read. Thanks Matt.

Very nice story. Do you think the leftist media would start noticing if we all started posting these kinds of things? I am sure they would ridicule it, at least at first, as our ‘wet dreams’ or something. Then again, they already seemed worried about the “When the Music Stops...” essay didn’t they?

My goal is to link the three stories, two by me and the one by the Small Wars Journal. If the libtards think mine are provocative (and they are, intentionally), then I suggest they be directed to the SWJ piece, where the "tea party" morphs into some kind of Nazi-KKK terrorist group, that requires the U.S. Army to be sent to South Carolina to crush.

This is such an amazing break from all tradition and protocals in writing such pieces, where the enemy group is generically named something like the "Orangeland Liberation Front."

To name the "tea party" in Darlington, SC as the Evil White Racist Tea Party Militia was disgusting and disturbing, like something out of Goebbels and the Nazis against the "filthy vermin Jews."

COL Benson, USA (ret) was sending a very large wink to the State Security Services: "be ready for action against the evil white racist tea-party klansmen."

His "vision of the future" purely enraged me, and resulted in my two companion pieces of the past two weeks.

Immediately after reading it, my hair is literally prickling on end.
