After Pastor Tom got exposed as a Stolen Valor imposter, he had to step away from his budding mega-church in Texas. Glory and Praise headquarters arranged a sabbatical to preach in Africa’s largest city and oversee a small girls’ outreach school in central Nigeria. The plan was for him to return to the United States after his embellishment about his military service faded from the media. During his first month in Lagos, the church got robbed, and his apartment almost burned down.
These events were nothing compared to his first trip to the school in Zangam Village, where three of the school girls were slaughtered by Boko Haram militants for just wanting to get an education past sixth grade. Tom set a new goal to return to the USA to teach fundamental Christian theology at the university level ASAP. His progressive Bible knowledge was popular in Texas.
Since Africa had almost equal Muslims to Christians, Tom would need to adapt his preaching to appeal to a more diverse congregation in Lagos, Nigeria. Tom took note of the incorrect Decalogue Plaques on the vacant church’s front wall. They were the version that had one of the commandments removed and replaced. Back home, Tom often preached about how Catholic’s only practiced nine Commandments when his wife wasn’t in attendance.

Son Source was a catchy business name and lined up with Zach Slenski’s mission to save the planet. After Sunlyndra a solar panel company in Oregon bilked the federal government out of 500 million dollars American’s had a bad taste for solar energy.
Zach was about to put the green deal back on track with his new quad solar panels but needed venture capital. He’d spent almost five years and all his family savings on research and development. Just getting a meeting with an investment group for an upstart solar company was next to impossible.
Mr. Philip Rubin and seven members of his WWO group fully understood that good clean renewable energy would be a threat to OPEC’s oil exports. A blackmail plan was put in place that could give Zach, Sally and their two children enough money to do most anything and repay their college fund.

The acronym Y2K was first coined and used in 1995. A simple 8-bit piece of code to roll 01/01/01 to 01/01/2001 was the problem. The U.S. spent $130 billion dollars on nothing more than an autoexec.bat file that a first-year computer science student could have written.
Only a handful of men knew the real mission behind Y2K, which was activated on April 1, 1996, when the Hung Meng import business attempted to purchase Trask Trailer Inc. in Long Beach, California. The manufacturing plant was retrofitted on a closed U.S. naval base and now employs almost 1,000 people.
Kevin Trask, heir to the Trask Trailer dynasty, was ready for a new journey after graduating and playing basketball for three years with the Duke Blue Devils. When the timely opportunity to sell to a Chinese entity appears on the horizon, Kevin takes the offer. One condition of the land sale is that the on-site Autistic security guard had to go.
Augustine Watt (Gus) had been living in a tiny room between the cafeteria and the assembly line for nineteen years, ever since his father was killed on the job. His mother had died on the delivery table. Gus had nobody and owned barely anything, except for a well-organized and pristine comic book collection. He had the first copy of Captain America, published on December 20, 1940. But his all-time favorite superhero was the three-in-one JC.
Gus was one of the handful who knew why the Chinese Communist Party wanted to purchase the Trask manufacturing plant. It was partly due to Iron Man using the Repulsor drill to dig tunnels…
Less than 1% of Americans know that Chinese state-owned enterprises own or operate terminals at more than 90 deep-water ports globally, holding a majority stake in 17 of them.

David and Paul childhood friends all through high school part ways for more than twenty years. Both served in Vietnam, Paul as a foot soldier and David stationed out of harm’s way as an electronic technician. Their lives take up again when Paul, now a priest flies out to Colorado to confront David with some life-threatening news. It seems that not even prayer can help Paul find the forgiveness he is seeking. But, it is David that is in harm’s way, ever since he unlawfully obtained a Clipper Chip decoder box. The little black box contained the MYK78T integrated circuit (IC), the National Security Agency secretly developed to ease drop and unscrambled encrypted messages over telephone lines, just before the end of the Cold War in 1991.
FOOTNOTE: The US government claims to have declassified the Skipjack algorithm used in the chip set for the Chipper Chip Decoder box. If that were true, why then do hackers still use an 80-bit key and a symmetric cipher algorithm when they ransom computers? Don’t believe everything the government claims to be true. . .
