Is Patriot Dawn coming true?

Well, here’s an interesting one for you. I don’t have a crystal ball, but looking at what is going on right now, I have a number of concerns. Are you ready for some far-fetched thinking? Here is a little summary:

In my 2013 novel ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’ we started with a financial / economic collapse. This was simply a scenario that I built in order to get to what the book was about, which was a civil war as a reaction to domestic tyranny. The books are basically combat books set in a collapse – Patriot Dawn was written to tell a tactical story in a novel format, and thus needed the right story setting (see the sequel: “Patriot Rising: The Unbroken” for even more of a war story).

What happened in Patriot Dawn was a terrorist attack / financial collapse. However, at a certain point in time when China realized that there was no more mutual benefit to be had with the current international order, they took the US down with a cyber attack on SCADA systems, which ushered in the true grid-down scenario.

What we currently have is an epidemic, which I surmise is most likely to be in the form of a bio-weapon released by China. China can suffer the casualties it has so far due to COVID-19, because there are 1.6 billion of them, and they don’t care. In the US, we are now teetering on the edge of an economic collapse, due to these epidemic lock-downs. There are reports of an energy market collapse, which of course is in part due to the current oil war, overlain with worker restrictions in the US.

Now, we are in lock-down till June. At least we are in Virginia. People are out of work, can’t pay bills. Soon, the civil unrest will start. What about the EBT cards? There are reports that the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, docked in Guam, is combat ineffective due to COVID-19 and the Captain is begging to be able to offload the casualties to shore and maintain a 10% skeleton crew to man the ship. So US forces are also starting to become combat ineffective.

We are apparently in the process of restructuring our economy to rely less on China. The petrodollar is a key part of the US economy. We are seeing issues with that not only as the economy starts to crash, but as oil wars affect it.

So, at some point, when does China wake up and say that the mutual benefit of being in a symbiotic relationship with the US is no longer worth it for them? The only thing that we are waiting for in the Patriot Dawn timeline is the cyber attack on our SCADA systems. Yes, the Chinese are in there, you better believe it. Imagine the areas that they could attack to make a bad situation worse as we suffer through the lock-down. EBT cards? Power grid? The list goes on.

The COVID-19 virus appears to be very real. At what point is the cure worse than the disease? The ‘economy’ appears to me to be mainly a propped-up sham anyway – but there are going to be very real consequences to people not working, and not able to afford to feed themselves. Bills are not going to be paid. How far are we going to go before it all starts falling apart?

The premise of Patriot Dawn was that Russia and China figured, at a certain point, that there was no benefit to the current world order, and they acted to pull the rug out from the US. They did not physically attack, but used cyber warfare. Later, they did invade parts of the Continental US in order to claim land and resources. Hence the massive battle with Russian forces in West Virginia!

If this keeps going, you may want to become very familiar with the tactical manual. Mind you, if you have not trained yet, time is running out fast. MVT has been here for you, offering training since 2013 – have you taken advantage?
