Out for Agent Consideration

By David H. Robbins

Once Alexander Trent had rigged the 2021 presidential election in his favor, he abolished all further free elections by executive order. He disbanded the bi-partisan congress and senate and stacked the Judicial Department. Finally, as the “Law and Order” President, he brought in some selected rogue paramilitary for his BlueShirts and Population Reform and Immigration Control Enforcement (PRICE) police to maintain the unsteady peace. Now, in 2028, former President Trent is firmly entrenched as Real-America’s Premier/Dictator The free press has all but been abolished, in favor of the news he and his son control through sole ubiquity of the Trent/Fox News and Entertainment Network. Dissidents, journalists, and others critical of the regime have been sent to work camps throughout the nation. But there are holes in the system as it is starting to show signs of weakness.

Sylvia Morales, a former Yale philosophy professor, recently sprung from a work camp the Trent PRICE agents had sentenced her to, vows to rip apart the regime. As one of the founders of the Neo-Publica Movement, she has pieced together a “Manifesto for Democracy,” and a growing following. Robert Bryant, who is working with her, has all but given up on the wish that his wife, Tricia, and their children are still alive. Three years earlier, he and Tricia had resisted the Trent PRICE agents assigned to take one of their children off for BlueShirt cadet training, as required by the administration. Because Robert was a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient whose vote for Trent’s second term in 2021 went on record through a vote tabulation “clerical error,” they went easy on him. The rest of his family had been sent off to different work and re-training camps, and now he is determined to free them. But the Neo-Publica cause for restoring America has strengthened his resolve, and his inner devotion to Sylvia, as his hope for finding Tricia and their kids has all but diminished after three years.

Is there a chance that Robert’s family may still be alive? And more, Is there a possibility that Alexander Trent’s dictatorship of Real-America can be taken down? .Just maybe…
