Chapter 8: Coincidence and Consequence

What would you call a lopsided, one sided series of unlikely coincidences that seem to target one faction? Bad news? Bad luck for that side?

Triggers! The real bad news is for the opposing faction who may or may not have any actual culpability, if it’s really only serendipity. Guilty or not, it’s perceptions that matter. Perceived as guilty and no charges or consequences by facets of society responsible for justice, triggers a violent response. Taking the law into their own hands as revenge.

Four GOP recently elected politicians have died just as they were to be seated congress and the senate. All four represented states with opposing party governors, who can now appoint their own parties politicians to those positions lost by election but death vacated posts. Rampant fraud or claims of overpowering evidence of fraud, also lay at this factions feet. Or on their shoulders, perhaps on their heads. Retribution imminent? Will revenge assassinations follow?

Unfortunately, my computer controlled killer bees was a scam, a trick, a joke, whatever you call it, just a lie. Does it have to remain a lie? How could it actually be accomplished? Don’t point fingers at me as someone to be despised for imaging such a weapon. Who imagined using the FBI as a political weapon? Yeah! Sit down.

A little road trip is in order. Completing my weekly twenty work hours obligation to the park in just three days, the rest of the week is now mine, unencumbered free time.

Directly driving to a large city, I hit several ATMs, draining more of the continuous donations accruing in the foundation account. Next, I hit ever store selling RFC flying model drones. Bought all I found. They weren’t cheap. Hundreds of dollars apiece. A good used rifle costs as much or more. These are cheap weapons by comparison.

In my binder of prepper treasure maps, are danger maps as well. Areas with hornets and wasp nest concentrations. Old folk tales use a story device, the tossing of a wasp nest into a group of pursuers to disperse and distract them. A drone could drop a nest from on high, with a bit of a release mechanism installed.

The insects need to carry more than just their normal venom. Something lethal. Research and innovation will be applied to arrive at a solution. The bloodbath is about to begin in earnest and for real!

The targets are obvious. Who has the power of appointment? Time is short. Likewise to make the agenda appear less obvious, include every executive unconstitutional tyrant, who illegally deprived citizens of their rights to run a business and earn a living. Take them all down at once.

The toxin is also an obvious choice for Florida woodsmen. The world´s most dangerous tree is BEACH APPLES, the manchineel (Hippomane mancinella) of the Florida Everglades and Caribbean coasts. I have coordinates for a number of these trees on my hazard maps.

How do the wasps or hornets get loaded up? By feeding them “mad honey infused with Manchineel. What is mad honey? Azaleas are poisonous to humans and grow all over the south. Grayanotoxins can also be present in honey made from rhododendron and azalea nectar. Affected honey causes “mad honey disease” in humans. Symptoms are low blood pressure, low heart rate, blurred vision, vomiting, irregular heart rhythms, convulsions, mild paralysis, tingling, hallucinations and seizures. Add some Manchineel juice for the hornets to ingest? Lethal venom stings result. American politics is about to become a real hornets nest!

Hope you enjoy this contemporary fantasy. I remind readers, it’s ONLY a fantasy story. Disregard perceived similarities to current events, I can’t foretell the future, I can only speculate.
