Free Phoenix Rising: by William W. Johnstone

president’s share the wealth experimentation, his world-first agenda, and his malfeasance in office, the nation once known as the United States of America no longer exists.
    This has given us the opportunity to start over, to establish a new nation that is colorblind and free of hate and prejudices. Our laws will be based on common sense. We will live by, and enforce these laws. This new nation shall be known as:
    Â 
    UNITED FREE AMERICA
    â€¢ We have learned by bitter experience that freedom must be constantly nurtured and protected from those who would take it from us, whether by force, or promise of free things to lazy people.
    â€¢ We believe that it is not only the right, but the obligation, of every law-abiding citizen to bear arms for his/her defense, for the defense of the innocent unjustly attacked, and for the mutual defense of our country.
    â€¢ Welfare shall be in effect only for the elderly, infirm, and those who need a temporary helping hand, and the welfare system must also:
    â€”Require that everyone who can work must work.
    â€”Establish the concept that being a productive citizen in a free society is the only honorable path to take.
    â€¢ The motto that for many years served the U.S. Military Academy shall be our motto: DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY.
    â€¢ If this appeals to you, if you wish to follow the example set for us by our forefathers so long ago, please respond to New [email protected].

    â€œThat looks pretty good,” Jake said. “But how can we get people to come look at it?”
    â€œDon’t worry about that,” Willie said. “I have so many search engine optimizers that half of what anybody starts searching for will bring them to this site.”
    â€œIncluding the bad guys?” Tom asked. “I mean, won’t this tell them what we are doing?”
    â€œThey are going to know what we are doing anyway,” Bob said. “I say to hell with them, we’ll just be in their face with it.”
    â€œYeah,” Jake said. “Yeah, I like that.”
    â€œAll right, Willie, go ahead and get this up as quickly as you can,” Bob said.
    â€œYes, sir,” Willie replied.
    â€œAny other suggestions?” Bob asked after Willie left.
    â€œYes, I have one,” Chris said. “We are going to need more than an army. We’re going to need something like the CIA.”
    â€œI agree,” Jake said. “And since you brought it up, I assume that means that you are willing to serve in that capacity, and organize it.”
    â€œWell, yes and no,” Chris replied.
    â€œWhy no?”
    â€œI am willing to serve in that capacity,” Chris said. “But initially, I think we should have a one man bureau. And I’ll be that one man.”
    â€œI’d be willing to go along with that, Chris, except for one thing,” Bob said.
    â€œWhat’s that?”
    â€œI’ve never been associated with such an organization, but I’ve certainly read about it—you know, James Bond and all that. And from what I’ve read, it’s pretty dangerous. What if you get killed?”
    â€œI’m glad you are so concerned about me,” Chris said with a smile.
    Bob chuckled. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not particularly concerned about you. But if you get killed and there’s nobody to take your place, where will that leave us?”
    â€œI expect Tom has done about as many spook jobs as I have,” Chris said.
    â€œHardly,” Tom said, laughing. “You’ve been doing this for what? Forty years?”
    â€œHey, hey, hey,” Bob said. “Show a little respect for your elders here. I’m pretty sure I once flew Chris behind German lines. It was German lines, wasn’t it, Chris?”
    â€œI believe it was.”
    â€œYes, I started to say I flew you behind British lines, but as I think back on it now, I believe that was Nathan Hale.”
    â€œRight. And we know
