A prologue, of sorts

valarltdI envision this typed as the opening page, kind of mimeographed looking, smudged and torn:
By 2040, we are told, the United States, like Rome before it, was crushed by its own size and internal divisions. A series of disastrous foreign wars, terrorist attacks and empire building had left the country weakened without and within.
As petroleum grew scarce, the engines of commerce ground to a halt, so they say. In 2046, the Federal Government closed down. The bankrupt states were left to their own devices and a time of anarchy ensued.
Slowly, ten smaller countries reformed, each with notions of how the world should be, each wrongly seeing itself as the true heir of the American Dream. Alaska and Hawaii, cut off from the mainland, were ignored. Kentucky, Illinois and Colorado were much disputed over the next half-century.
Life continued, as it always did, most believe, for the ordinary people. The Great Experiment had failed after less than three hundred years. Sage, secular scholars in Canada and Europe quoted Ben Franklin.
THIS IS A LIE!
The United States, God’s own City on a Hill, did not fall. It was brought down. A coterie of four women and six men engineered the reshaping of the world.
In the center, sits the Lady like a great spider in the web that centers in Rome. The harlot of Revelation, the whore of Babylon, the adulterous and apostate Church, Oholah and Oholibah, she rules the world through her emissaries and go-betweens. She tolerates no dissent and the walls of her city are set with the bones of martyrs who died fighting her rule.
In defiance of God and Scripture, she rules over men, teaching them and showing herself without shame. Her minions, now in the dozens, rule the world in her name, which only she herself knows.
In our very country, the last bastion of the True Faith, we are beset with foreigners and sodomites by her command. She spreads the filth that infests our border regions. She seduces our daughters from the home and our sons from the paths of righteousness. She casts the shadow of death over our valley, our new Eden, and tempts us with the apples of sin as her mother Lilith did our first father, Adam.
Cling to the Faith.
Protect your Family.
Control your Women.
