overall crime rates around the entire nation were drastically reduced as well.
America's borders continued to be rigorously controlled. Immigration policy
had been revitalized to define what legal immigration consisted of, what
commitments and promises were required of would-be citizens, what time frames
would be applied in a trial mode for them and what was expected of them once
they became citizens. Education regarding the history and meaning of American
liberty and self-sufficiency, the English language, oaths to the Constitution,
no social leeching, and the qualities of thrift and hard work were
re-enthroned as the guiding principles. Regardless of perceived hardship or
other political status, the conditions governing these principles had to be
satisfied or citizenship would be denied. A significant sub-set of the same
guidelines applied to any visa applications outside of temporary, vacation
visas, which then were only permitted for individuals from proven friendly

nations and only after a significant background check in conjunction with that
nation's security apparatus.
The population in the detention camps in various parts of the country was
decreasing. As the individuals were processed, those coming from non-aggressor
nations who did not meet the new standards for citizenship application or visa
application, or who did not pass background checks, were returned to their
homelands. Those who did meet the requirements and who passed the background
checks were released into the new programs and went about their life.
Those individuals from aggressor nations were detained. If they were known
belligerents, they were held in strict confinement under maximum security and
prosecuted for their crimes. If they were not known belligerents, they were
simply held over and put to work, to be held until the end of the conflict
when they would be returned to their homelands.
By the middle of September 2008, the number of those being detained had
dropped from a high of over
630,000 in April of 2008, down to under 600,000. It was expected that the
number would drop below one half million by the middle of 2009 and continue to
decline. Despite the objection and legal wrangling of some organizations, the
vast majority of Americans approved of the measures and the way that they had
been implemented and very few politicians were willing to openly oppose or
contradict the immigration or detention programs for fear of their political
life.
July - September 2008
In the Pacific
The Chinese, the Indians and the GIR (through its member state in Indonesia)
continued to consolidate their vast gains in the Pacific. Although resistance
in Australia continued, it had reduced significantly. The reason for this was
the same as it had been in Japan and the Philippines. The CAS and the GIR were
importing large populations into the conquered nations and literally
transforming them. Former owners of lands, housing, factories or shops were
displaced by new Chinese, Indian or Indonesian owners. The former inhabitant
could either work for the new owners for a pittance, or they could starve.

mercy was shown to those who voiced opposition to this& or their families.
In this way, particularly in nations who had disarmed their citizens almost
completely through legislation or edicts, the possibility for large scale
resistance was remote to begin with, and it faded with each passing month as
the numbers of those who would resist became a smaller and smaller portion of
the whole living in the occupied lands. In Australia, the effect was telling
as the conquering nations demonstrated a direct willingness to turn the entire
continent into a vast lebensraum for their populations, splitting up the
continent into three autonomous regions that were immediately recognized and
accepted into the CAS, joining the many other nations already engrafted into
the same.
Now, along a vast line, stretching from Australia and Tasmania northward to
Wake Island and then on up to Alaska, the high tide of the CAS and GIR welled
up. To the west of that line, complete control was exerted by the CAS and the
GIR nations. The new factories of all of the Asian Tigers, when coupled with
the vast manufacturing capabilities of China, added up to a huge war machine
that showed no signs of letting up or slowing down, despite the recent
horrendous losses around the American island of Midway. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
