about

A Citizen's Band message from the formerly appointed Secretary of Defense to non-detainees, which comprise what is now known as Free America. At great personal risk, he divulges classified and buried information to the people and urges them to unify to usurp the powers of the newly formed Government, The High Order.

lyrics

Good evening, people of Free America. This is former Secretary of Defense, Frank Knight. Though it is at great personal risk, I feel it my duty to share the information I have in hopes that your resolve may one day restore the republic. In the days following the grid collapse, I was removed from my position and held captive so that I would not talk; however, I managed to escape when my location was attacked by those loyal to The Resistance.

As you know, a permanent, military state exists across the country. What you have not been told is that this measure was achieved by way of the secret deployment of the M9 bio-weapon disguised as an act of God. As our country rapidly deteriorated, the public called for increased Government intervention for containment purposes. With meticulous and secretive planning, prominent politicians expanded the intervention; using major cities as massive detention centers and sealing their outer perimeters. Any of those that resisted, attempted escape, or spoke in opposition were labeled a threat and quickly eliminated.

Dubbing themselves the High Order, these powerful politicians dissolved the authorities of Congress and the president then joined what was the United States of America to a tyrannical global order. In a perfectly executed scheme, these individuals leveraged the crisis to form an imperial body of rulers that has eliminated your Constitutional freedoms; a maneuver that it enforces with a persistent, domestic military presence. The High Order fears only the unity of the people, so it seeks to detain and indoctrinate you while stripping you of your humanity.

The Resistance movement is growing in the mountainous northwest regions of the country. Seek out this movement, and bind yourselves to its cause. I offer you no other solutions; only the hope that a victory is rooted in the bonds of your unity. Technology will not be at your disposal, and you are facing an enemy with superior numbers and weaponry. You must be unmerciful and unyielding in your struggle, for only together can we dethrone this tyranny.
Frank Knight, over and out.
