IT WASN'T THE TERRORISTS THAT GOT US AFTER ALL.... In 2012, the United States of America is in terrible shape. Eight years of governance by President Robert Collins, a corrupt, inept Republican president whose administration was marred by scandal and dishonor, another worldwide depression, called "The Second Great Depression" which was caused by the 2008 worldwide credit crisis which has crippled the nation, a nationwide SARS epidemic, famine, national unrest, extreme poverty, and terrorist attackks, much larger and more deadly than 9/11, and a nation long influenced by what evangelical Christians regard as "immorality" such as Hollywood and other so-called "immoral" influences, have caused Americans to turn to die-hard conservative politics and evangelical Christianity, which has caused the United States to suffer a secular decline. For years, a nationwide religious revival led by a famous evangelical Christian television evangelist and his powerful Church has been underway and has reached every segment of the population. Church establishments exist all over the United States and each and every one holds religious rallies. American youth hold youth revivals. In 2000, the minister decides to jump into politics and forms an evangelical Christian political party, the True America Party. Over the next twelve years, the True America Party slowly gains support and erodes away at the Democratic and Republican power base. By 2012, the Democrats and Republicans are weak and on the brink of collapse. The True America Party becomes the most powerful political party in the nation. The minister declares his candidacy for President of the United States and mounts a presidential campaign. In November 2000, he wins by a landslide. Evangelical Christian candidates from the TAP take Congress and become governors of all fifty states. In 2013, the minister is sworn into office and immediately starts to secretly make changes. He abolishes the Constitution and the Federal Government and establishes a theocratic dictatorship. The United States of America ceases to exist and a new theocratic America, a Christian police state comes into existence. But the majority of Americans do not see the theocracy as tyranny. They overwhelmingly support the new theocracy as the new President becomes a religious dictator known as "The Prophet Incarnate" and brutally suppresses secularism, lays down religious law, and bans other faiths. He establishes a legislative body called "The Holy Assembly", appoints a Napoleon-style consulate consisting of himself and two "Consuls", and appoints governors for the states. He transforms the US Armed Forces. He transforms the US Army into a theocratic Wehrmacht called the Army of the Church, the US Navy into a theocratic terror on the high seas called the Church Navy, and the US Air Force into the Church Air Force. An elite security force that protects the Prophet Incarnate called "The Angels of the Lord" is established, and a Secret Police force is founded. The Theocracy imposes its will through ruling with an iron fist. Any criticism of the Prophet or his government, noncompliance with Church law, flying the flag of the old United States, practicing a religion other than the Church, engaging in anything "immoral", etc. is punishable with removal to a "reeducation camp", brainwashing, imprisonment, or death. But not everybody supports the theocracy. During the 2004 campaign, small groups of Americans are suspicious of the minister and the Church started investigating him and his reasons for running for President. After the minister establishes his theocratic regime, these groups come together to form an underground resistance organization known as the Resistance. The Resistance is a motley force of civilians from all walks of life and renegade Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force units. But the Resistance's war against the theocracy won't be easy. Most Americans support the theocracy, the armed forces of the Theocracy are well trained and armed, and informants lurk around every corner! But there's one thing the minister doesn't know. There are those within the ranks of his regime who don't believe in what the reverend is doing. They are a group of people who are opposed to the Church, and they will aid the Resistance. On the international front, the rest of the world is alarmed by what has happened in the United States and other nations have begun their own covert operations to depose the American theocracy. But the Resistance is determined to prevail. It isn't long before America erupts into war! Join the fight. You can be a character in the Resistance or the theocracy, or a civilian. "America: The Final Conflict" is based on "Revolt In 2100" by Robert Heinlein.
