The people were getting impatient. The voters has spoken, and they wanted Malcom Jones to be their next president. But Inauguration Day had come and passed, and still David Grey was in office. Most Angelinos couldn't figure it out. At first, he had the war as an excuse. But with that long over, when was President Grey going to step down? It seemed, despite his history, that the old patriot had finally been corrupted by his power. He had made Los Angeles a slave to Kasnyia, and now sat luxuriously in the Presidential mansion, refusing to let Mr. Jones take power. So, as the weeks wore on, and still no Inauguration, people began to take to the streets in protest. An undeniable chain of events was starting to take place... |

It had been several days since a letter of protest had been sent to President Grey. There had been no reply. It was suspected that the leader had simply thrown the document out. Surely, usurpation of public office was a crime, but the Bear Flag Congress was refusing to acknowledge the fact or start an Impeachment proceeding. It was becoming clear that the nation was divided. The Government, the Military, and many of the affluent, Anglo-Saxon minority were arrayed against the overwhelming Latin Genesian majority. Even though Malcom Jones was an Anglo himself, he had achieved the support of the Genesians simply because he opposed David Grey, and even though he generally did not support Genesians, like any politician would, Jones accepted their support. The polarization was seen especially in political theory. The "Davidites", as Grey's supporters were known, were pro-Kasnyian occupation, pro-JAUST, anti-Holy League, Liberal, and anti-Confederacy. The Jonesites, the opposition, were held just the opposite views. The disparity soon widened as the polarization continued. Armed men took to the streets as the poorly funded police force began to take to the streets in a vain attempt to restore order... |

Highly Encrypted Transmission To: President Grey From: Alain Gresh, President of the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, French Intelligence Service) Dear President Grey, seeing the trouble you have to quash the rebels from the Jonesites, we would kindly offer you the sum of $50 billion to annihilate those wrongdoers which will be payed via secret transmission to your bank account. We are also more than willing to offer you one of our new fighter jet called "Mirage 3000" which can fire at amazing precision at the Jonesites terrorists and destroy specific targets of importance. The delivery of those fighter jets, accouting to about 5 at least, will take about 3 days, as we'll load them all to a cargo plane. We hope to hear back from you soon, Kind Regards, Alain Gresh, President of the DGSE Posted Image |

OOC: Pro-Kasnyian Occupation. They want Kasnyia to continue to provide for their defense. Even though elections have occurred, technically Kasnyia and the United States still own the nation of Los Angeles. Theoretically, Kasnyia or Goreprime could declare the elections invalid and force the Jonesites back to square one. Its a stance of political expediency. Grey is pandering to Kasnyia in hopes of an intervention, even though he is against the Holy League. So therefore he has to be pro-JAUST too, just in case the issue is brought up. You must understand that Grey is on very shaky ground right now, and all his stances are principally to save his own ass. IC: Highly Encrypted Telegram to: Alain Gresh, President of the DGSE from: President David Grey of the Bear Flag Republic RE: Your offer Mr. Gresh, I must say that it is most generous. We have F-15s, but they are old and in need of replacement. The five jets you are sending will be invaluable to my quest to prevent Los Angeles from falling into the pattern of the Genesian totalitarian state. I really do suspect that Mexico is behind this. They have sent agitators and such into my nation and are inciting the people to revolt. The Jonesites are indeed terrorists, and will be crushed by the legitimate Government, of that I assure you. Your contribution will do much to further that goal. I really hope that the benign relations that our nations have been having will improve even more, and that we can become close allies. When our success does come, I am hoping to join JAUST, and I hope you and your Emperor will support me. Together, we can keep America clean of the autocratic scum that call themselves the Church. Best Wishes, David Grey |

The Kasnyian Foreign Intelligence Service was watching the situation cautiously...they would, on occasion, give advice to the Davidites on how to proceed politically. It wasn't long before Viceroy Harzmann, eager to help his old friend, was personally involved. |

To: President David Grey From: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime Fellow representative of the people... I understand your nation is experiencing a time of great civil unrest. Seeing as you surrendered and helped the U.S.-Kasnyian coalition against the USNA, I'm prepared to make an offer you can't refuse. I will send you the aid of several thousand United States Marine Corps troops to keep the peace. With their expert skill combined with your efforts, the terrorists will be rooted out from hiding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To: Presidential Elect Malcom Jones From: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime. I understand that David Grey is illegally occupying office beyond the allowance and limit of his term and also due to the fact that he has lost the presidential election to you. The United States is willing to help you to oust him from his wrongful seat of power. We will supply your forces with weapons, equipment, and food; among anything else that you require. Grey has broken the law of your constitution, and he must pay for it. OOC: Admire the two-headed cobra that is Goreprime Enterprises. |

To: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime From: President David Grey President Goreprime, Los Angeles is grateful for your timely and invaluable aid. The rebels that are attacking the foundations of the tried and true American governing system here in the Bear Flag Republic are a threat to all of the continent, and I know that you have realized this too. The Genesian war machine will soon be rolling through Los Angeles, I fear, if these rebels are not swiftly crushed. I fear that that demagogue Jones has already sought help from Catholic Europe and Velorya. Luckily, I have allies like Kasnyia and the United States who are more sensible and realize that Los Angeles is a sovereign nation who will not and cannot fall to the Catholic hordes. I gladly accept your offer. God Bless America, Mr. Goreprime. ****** To: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime From: President-Elect Malcom Jones President Goreprime, I am glad to hear that the Unites States still cares for freedom. Yes, the very system which your nation helped create is now threatened by "President" Grey and his cronies. They blatantly spit on the grave of the American System in the BFR. I would love to accept your aid, in fact, it may be the difference between victory and defeat. However, I cannot. If I were to accept arms from either one of the occupiers, then I would lose the support of the Anti-Occupation bloc, which consists of some of my staunchest supporters. Without those men and women I will fail. Therefore I must decline your generous offer. However, once I have defeated the usurper Grey, I would appreciate it if the United States would promptly recognize my government as the legitimate winner of the elections. That should suffice. And if any of those Anti-American Genesian crazies attempt to do anything about it, I'll have their heads. |

They are. Grey can SAY he is anti-Genesian, but in practice, he has to do as I say. I have allowed him free reign inside LA whilst foreign policy is mine, but that can always be changed if the Genesians are treated anything other than fairly. |

To: President-Elect Malcom Jones From: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime I urge you to reconsider, Mr. Jones. No one will ever suspect that you had help from the United States. No one will ever know. Right now we have pledged our open support for David Grey, and he thinks that we will help him to our full ability. This is a ruse. It is designed to fully cover up any actions we make to help you to achieve the presidency of the Bear Flag Republic. People will too openly notice U.S. Marines helping David Grey to even realize that our hand was actually supporting you. All we ask in return is a substantial payment once you are president. We will disclose what it is on that day, and amidst the chaos, only a few people will ever suspect that we supported you. This fringe, we suggest, to be propagandized as conspiracy nuts, as the historical events about to occur will strongly prove the contrary. |

The Los Angeles Times Jonesite Rally Bombed! Tucson-- A rally supporting President-Elect Malcom Jones was attacked by Federal aircraft yesterday, as rising tensions bring the nation close to Civil War. Thee French Mirage 3000 jets, belonging to the Government, dropped 2,000 lb bombs on a march in downtown Tucson, killing about 450 people, many of them bystanders. Fires also broke out in the area, and protesters fought fire crews that attempted to put out the inferno. The overall damage to Tucson has not yet been assessed. This news comes after we have heard that President Grey signed an agreement with the United States, allowing US Marines to land in California, the main area of contest, to restore order. Many suspect that the bombings were part of an overarching campaign to intimidate the Jonesites into surrendering their leader's claim to power. However, the target is a bit surprising. Arizona, which has long been a bastion of Davidite sentiment, is not seen as disloyal to the President at all. Why he chose to kill so many in that state is undetermined. However, regardless, many are decrying his tactics. Because it is illegal to use Federal Military against the people, many are demanding Grey's impeachment. In response, the Davidites claim that since the jets were simply on loan from France, they are not affiliated with the military and do not fall under the jurisdiction of the law. Many are increasingly suspicious of Grey as these tactics become more common. Mr. Jones, who is in Rome for a Wedding, could not be contacted for comment... ****** To: President Thaddeus E. Goreprime From: President-Elect Malcom Jones Very well, I see your point. After this latest attack by David Grey, I see that I do indeed need your help. I accept your offer, and thank you very much for its graciousness. I must admit that I am willing to pay any price for the freedom of my people. Once in power, I will see to it that your desires are accommodated. |

The Kasnyian Government formally beseeches the Grey government for being so unprofessional with this borrowed property and is offering the citizens of Tuscon assistance in reconstruction of the bombed section and will help the individual families of the victims for this disgraceful act against the Angelino people. ----- Private message to David Grey from the Office of the Viceroy of Pacifica- Foolish incompetant. Do you WANT to have a coup occur against you? I find you using your military against your people, or others military against your people ever again, I may find it fit to replace you. Otherwise, how are things going? How are you handling this situation? |
