Capítulo 1761: Chapter 784: “God Is Dead, Devils Rule! Take Up Arms and Purify North Arica!” (Part 3)
At that mont, the journalist from the small news agency, accompanied by an assistant with a simple cara, arrived at the scene.
They didn’t dare get too close, so they started filming from a farther dirt hill.
Davis, with keen eyes, noticed the cara’s reflection.
He jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on.
“There are journalists! Damn it, drive them away! Remove those people too!” Davis ordered the soldiers around him.
More than twenty fully ard soldiers, with rifles mounted with bayonets, rushed out of the barracks, splitting into two groups. One group charged the journalists, the other advanced toward the petition crowd.
The soldiers rushing toward the journalists rudely snatched the cara and beat the journalist and the assistant. The cara was smashed to the ground.
The soldiers heading toward the crowd directly used the rifle butts and bayonet sheaths to hit the townsfolk blocking their way.
Jacob stood at the front, trying to protect the people behind him, but a soldier brutally slamd him in the forehead with a rifle butt, causing blood to flow profusely as he fell to the ground.
“Don’t film! No filming allowed! Destroy everything!” Davis roared from the barracks entrance.
The scene was chaotic.
The townspeople were knocked to the ground, scattering and fleeing. The soldiers chased and beat them like driving livestock, Jacob was dragged away by two soldiers, and the journalist and assistant were beaten black and blue, the cara tape was pulled out and ripped in public.
Although the journalist’s cara was destroyed, he relied on mory and a few secretly hidden blurry photos, along with the returning assistant’s testimony, to compile a detailed written report and sent it out through secret channels.
Several days later, a Spanish-speaking online dia outlet called “Voice of xico” was the first to publish the report in full, titled “The Stone Bridge Town Massacre: European ‘Peacekeeping’ Forces Shoot Civilians, Suppress Petitions, and Silence with Violence” and included a diagram of the event based on the journalist’s recollection and a blurry photo showing soldiers waving rifle butts.
The report was quickly translated into English, French, and German, spreading on early forums of the newly erging internet newsgroups.
“Is this the democracy and order they bring?”
“The Trustee Committee? More like the Plunder Committee!”
“What’s the difference between these soldiers and Nazis?”
“Are we supporting a bunch of thugs with our blood and taxes?”
“Why don’t our dia report this? Where is the freedom of the press?”
“Voice of xico” tily published a comntary titled with sharp satire: “Fake Democracy, Real Plunder: The Dark Reality of North Arica under European Trusteeship.” The article linked the Stone Bridge Town incident with previous forced seizures in Kansas, mining plunder in Pennsylvania, and factory dismantling in the Great Lakes Region, painting a picture of systematic economic vampirism and military terror rule in the remaining areas of North Arica under the guise of ‘trusteeship’ by European capital and its proxies.
“Their so-called ‘Free World’ and ‘Democratic Values’ seem so pale and ridiculous in the face of the gunshots and bloodstains in Stone Bridge Town. Democracy is not an electoral ga but the basic dignity of every person to be free from fear, plunder, and having a gun pointed at their throat. When European ‘peacekeepers’ can freely shoot civilians petitioning, beat journalists, and destroy evidence, what exactly are they defending? Freedom, or their unbridled privilege? Order, or their wanton plundered ‘order’?”
The article questioned, ending with this statent: “The people of North Arica are awakening, the blood of Stone Bridge Town will not be shed in vain, the deeper the oppression, the more intense the resistance. True order cos from the will of the people, not the cannons of foreign plunderers.”
In many areas where the “Trustee Committee” had relatively weak control and European garrison or affiliated ard discipline was particularly degraded, similar atrocities were too nurous to count.
In a small town in the southern swamps of Louisiana, a ‘Resource Exploration Guard Corps’ mainly composed of French and Eastern European rcenaries suspected local residents of hiding ‘illegal materials’, raided hos at night. After encountering resistance, they actually set fire to half a block of wooden houses, killing more than thirty people, including the elderly and children.
The subsequent report called it an ‘unfortunate fire accident’, blaming local residents for ‘hoarding dangerous goods’.
In a community in Ohio primarily composed of descendants of German immigrants, residents refused to vacate the basent of the community church for storage of ‘archaeological excavation equipnt’ by a ‘Cultural Protection Squad’ with ties to a German company, which in reality were looted precious artifacts and docunts. The respected old priest was taken away, and a week later, his body was found by the river, determined to have ‘accidentally fallen in’. The church was forcibly occupied.
In a remote ranch in Wyoming, the ranch owner protested against European companies enclosing water sources, resulting in their water reservoir being poisoned, killing a large number of livestock. The rancher’s son was shot by ‘Patrols’ while on horseback disputing, becoming permanently disabled.
Tyranny spreads like a plague, fear and hatred grow in silence.
A new ideology began to brew and fernt in the deeply oppressed, traditionally faith-rooted Midwestern agricultural states and Southern rural areas.
It mixed anger at injustice, mourning the loss of hos and traditions, hatred for European outsiders and their puppets, and an increasingly strong, almost ssianic desire for religious redemption.
In early September 1996, an organization calling itself the “Believers Unity Front of North Arica” distributed its first manifesto through extrely secretive channels.
“Brothers and sisters!
