Chapter 22
The United Nations
Bang. Bang. Bang. The sound of the
gavel rang out through Madison Square Garden. “I now officially call the
Radical Liberal National Convention to order and open to business. We welcome
you all to New York City and thank you to the New York Radical Liberal Party
for hosting our event. Now I will waste no more of our time and we will get
straight to what everyone has been waiting for. I welcome to the stage, the
Governor of the Great State of New York, Mr. Reed Frost!”
The crowd at the Garden erupting
into cheers and gave the New York Governor a standing ovation. Frost walked
across the stage smiling and waving to an older song of choice, Empire State of
Mind by Jay-Z. Frost stood at the podium and took in the spectacle that was
before him. Raising both hands into the air, he gave one last wave and then
called for quiet from the delegations.
“Thank you Mr. Chairman. And thank
you all for that incredible ovation. I guess I was really showing my age with
that choice of walkout music. But I have to admit that I am a sucker for the
music of my youth,” the Governor joked to a laughing delegation.
“I am very humble to be given the
chance to give the keynote address to you all. It is a great honor to be able
to address the Radical Liberal convention from my own state and from my
hometown. I hope that you all enjoy your stay in our great city.”
“Many of you already reap the
enjoyments from the Northeast, but there are some of you here that do not enjoy
those benefits as often. As we seat delegates from Radical Liberal power bases
such as New York and Massachusetts, we also welcome our friends from the South.
We have delegates here representing every state from the South. While the
Radical Liberal Party holds power in the Northeast, it is not so easy for the
party the further south you go.”
“The further you go the deeper and
deeper you get into Peace Party territory. That is, I mean, the People’s Party
for Perpetual Peace. It is the same party that has forced its way into
political power. It is the same party that needed to fabricate a story of
treason in order to remove our elected President and Vice President. It is the
same party the instilled their own non-executive into the position of
President. It is the same party that has needed to use force and scare tactics
in order to install what they claim to be peace, their own twisted version of
peace.”
“You know what their version of
peace is? Their version is the one where they twist and distort the
Constitution of the United States in order to ensure their political power
positions. They change the Constitution in order to keep Richard Smith in power
as president. They do this under the auspice of claiming that it will be
greater stability to our country and thus will lead to ‘greater and ever
lasting peace.’ They rig elections in order to take over the Congress and keep
it as a puppet for Smith and his regime.”
“It was the Peace Party that created
Issue #5572. They felt it was necessary to use US military capabilities to
‘keep the peace’ inside the borders of a US state. They felt it was necessary
to strip the State of California of its local law enforcement capabilities.
This was all in the name of ‘Peace.’”
“Well our former political party
mates, the Progressive Action Party, did not take Issue #5572 lying down. They
did not just continue to appease the regime in DC. They decided to fight back.
They turned away the troops sent by the Congressional decree. They said they
would not be bullied. And when the US pushed right back, what did the
Progressives do? They set up the Republic of California. The States of
California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada decided that they had had enough.
They seceded from the US and formed their own sovereign state. I know that the
official policy coming out of DC is to not use the name of the Republic of
California. They choose to not acknowledge their existence. They are treating
them as a bunch of little kids that are throwing a temper tantrum. They use
labels such as ‘insurgents’ and ‘insurrection’ to refer to the separatist
movement out West. They do this to win the propaganda war back home. They need
to keep their power base appeased and assured that they are doing what is
right. Well what DC doesn’t take into consideration is the determination from
the other side. The ROC believes what they are doing is also the right thing
and they are willing to fight for their rights and freedom. Not only are they
willing to fight, but they are more than capable of fighting and winning. That
point is evident in their victory in the Battle of Idaho. Their victory there
was so strong that even DC had to accept and acknowledge their defeat there.
“The California situation is not so
different from our own. While our two political parties may have separated from
each other, we still share the same ideals. Same wants. Same enemies. Their
situation is not so different that ours…”
Meanwhile, at the same time as the
convention, a plane carrying Canadian diplomats arrives at LaGuardia Airport.
The Canadian leisure jet landed on the runway of the airport and began its way
to a private hangar. The diplomats on board began to gather up their
belongings.
“The Radical Liberal Convention has
begun by now. Does everyone know the plan?” said one of the diplomats. Everyone
on the plane gave their affirmation. The plane made its way into the hangar. A
motorcade of diplomatic vehicles were there awaiting their arrival. “Quickly
everyone. There is no time to waste.”
The Canadian diplomats separated
into their separate vehicles. Then the motorcades began to leave the airport en
route to the United Nations. They split up into two different motorcades and
took two different paths. Knowing that US/Canadian relationships were rocky at
the moment, the Canadians knew there was a strong possibility of the US trying
to stop them on their way to the UN. This was the reason for the split in the
motorcade. They wanted to optimize their chances on someone making their way to
the UN.
Their fears would be proven true a
couple minutes into their drive. One of the Canadian motorcades was stopped by
FBI agents. The lead diplomat in the caravan got out of his car to talk to the
lead agent. “What is the meaning of this stop?”
“Are you the guy in charge?”
“Yes I am. And I demand to know why
you stopped a diplomatic motorcade.”
“We have reasons to suspect that you
may be hiding a fugitive of the US.”
“This is an outrageous claim! We are
a diplomatic delegation from Canada on our way to the United Nations.”
The FBI agent stepped closer to the
Canadian, getting right in his face. “Now you listen here you fucking Canuck.
We know you are hiding one these bastards from Cali. We know he is here and we
will find him.” The agent lowered his voice, “And when we find him, I hope to
god that he is sent to a prison and tried for treason.”
“I surely hope that you are not
threatening a diplomat from a sovereign nation. We have diplomatic immunity and
are allowed passage to the UN.”
The agent laughed. “Guys round them
up. We are taking them all in for questioning.”
“You are making a mistake. We have
diplomatic immunity. This is illegal.”
“Buddy, we are the law.”
Back at the convention. The Radical
Liberal Party Chairman listened to the Governor’s speech from off the side of
the stage. He was enjoying the speech. Thinking that this was exactly what the
party needed at this time. One of his assistants walked up to him and whispered
something to him in his ear.
“Oh
my god! Are you sure? There is a second one? Once again you sure all your
information is correct?” The assistant nodded. “Thank you. The Governor must
here of this right away.”
The
Chairman walked out onto the stage in the middle of the speech. The audience
noticed and began to murmur.
“This
country needs a strong Liberal party. It is the party that will bring greater
strength to…” The governor stopped in mid-sentence when he noticed the Chairman
walking on stage. They whispered to each other at the podium. The Chairman
nodded and quickly left the stage.
“Ladies
and Gentlemen, I have just received some shocking news. I have been told that a
motorcade of Canadian diplomats, on their way to the United Nations, has been
pulled over and detained by FBI agents. This is yet another example of the
Peace Party in DC trying to skirt international laws. They feel that they are
above the laws of the international community. Relations with Canada have
already been strained over the California crisis. I feel that this is a huge
diplomatic mistake on the part of the Peace Party. But not only do they feel
that they are above international laws, but they feel that they are above the
law here in their own country. Using the FBI to make arrests such as these is
an overstepping of their jurisdiction. This is why I have been hammering on and
on about take more responsibility for our homes, our states. We cannot let the
Peace Party infringe upon us like this. Our party policy has been to pull back
from the federal government and focus more on the state and local level. In
order for that policy to be successful, we must be strong in keeping Peace
Party federal intervention out. We have been reduced to the minority party, but
we must not be quiet, we must be a loud and strong opposition. We must step up
and push back. We must take back the future of our states.”
“The
Chairman has informed me that there is a second motorcade of Canadian diplomats
headed for the UN. I am stepping up and taking control over our situation. I
have dispatched a group of State Patrolmen to escort the motorcade to the UN. I
have been told that the New York City Mayor has also sent the NYPD to assist.
We cannot let this mistake be reflected upon the rest of the country. We will
do right by the international community. We will fix it.”
The delegations rose up out of their
seats and gave another standing ovation to the Governor. Madison Square Garden
was filled by the sound of cheers. The Governor took a step back and took it
all in. “Thank you. Thank you. Now if there are no more interruptions I would
like to finish my speech.”
United Nations Plaza, New York City, New
York. Following their escort of New York State Highway Patrol and NYPD
officers, the second motorcade of Canadian diplomats found their way to the
United Nations. They pull into their parking places and arrived to a welcoming
of fellow Canadians. “I hope you made it here all right,” said the welcoming
diplomat.
“Well we felt a lot better after our
escort arrived,” said the diplomat getting out of the car.
“It is nice to meet you. I am Walter
Shale the Canadian Ambassador to the UN.”
“The pleasure is mine. I’m Ridley
Jones. I’m now the California Ambassador to the UN.”
“Well Mr. Ambassador, Welcome to the
United Nations.”
Coming Soon: The ROC Assembly convenes for the first time. The ROC makes a desperate move to bolster the military ranks. Canada/US relations worsen due to the diplomatic crisis. Radical Liberals debate over their future. Russia meets with California diplomats.
