The Incident

tomorrow all the hackers fed up with the way that the empire has been dealing with the people on this planet combine their skills in order to break into the most secret of databases, that which controls the release of our nuclear onslaught, meant for whatever nation or people ends up picking the shortest straw or making the biggest mistake in our eyes, as we still control the world with nothing more than might. those taking control of the nukes do not work for any government or agency or terrorist group, instead, they act on their own & they act out of desperation, feeling that this empire’s ability to command all others on the planet to do its bidding will inevitably lead to the end of all life on the planet, as a result of a domino effect of nuclear attacks from country to country wherein all those that have them will release them on someone else & we will all be incinerated in moments. when the nukes of the empire are maneuvered so that they are now aimed at the sites where other nukes are hidden all across the empire, a button is pushed without the knowledge of those who thought that they had control of all the knowledge & suddenly the baton of the big bad bully is knocked from its hands. this incident could have been prevented if the people of the empire stopped listening to those that run it & instead, began to listen to those who are been suffocated, oppressed & strangled for it. empires have come & empires have gone, one way or another--- will we learn from the mistakes of the past or will we repeat it with incomparable destruction? the storm is coming.
