the cry of the watchman
 The seventh Letter:
The Fortress City

 

The Radical’s Command Center

the city: seven hills, silk, roman

It is the city set on seven hills.  The silk road, the roman road, and the orient express all pass through its gates.  It is the gateway to the east.  Its bridges stand with one foundation in Europe and the other in Asia.  It controls the most strategic sea and land passages on earth.  It has been a fortress city for nearly two millenniums.  The Muslims were not able to conquer it for seven hundred years.

the golden horn

It is the city with the Golden Horn, the wonderful harbor that is the envy of nations.  It is suitable for the protection of an armada of warships.

enormous nato bases

This city is again the greatest fortress city on earth, thanks to its location and the cold war.  It is surrounded by NATO bases.  The defensive abilities of the city were developed to prevent a breakout into the Mediterranean from the Black Sea by the Soviet Black Sea Navy.

offensive abilities of the fortress

The offensive abilities of the city were developed so the city could be one of the major staging centers for the invasion of the Soviet Block, including the soviet oil fields.

armor units

Its armor units are under the command of the most advanced war strategists on earth.  Its air bases are mammoth and teaming with the best of the west, including multiple types of aircraft capable of nuclear weapons delivery.

arsenals

Its arsenals house a large count of strategic NATO warheads.  The bases have routinely operated by instant response procedures, twenty-four hours a day, for forty years.

lord of the fortress

It is the new home for the son of perdition, who became the great betrayer, and then the destroyer; who now is the lord of fortresses, and will soon be the conquistador.  He is the throne grabber.  He does not yield.  He is the Radical. 

destruction of nato nations

The NATO nations were destroyed in a moment with the gifts from the Lord of the East, who did their job meticulously.  All that the Radical had to do was log on to the internet, go to the right address, enter the code, and press the key.  The signal was downloaded to computers that had been strategically located throughout Europe and North America.

the day the towers fall

The computers were in the highest available suites of office towers, spread out over each metropolitan center of North America and Europe.  The suites had all been leased in the last year or so by foreign trading companies doing much of their business with the orient.  However, there did not seem to be much business going through the offices and lease payments all came from common bank accounts right on schedule.

county seats

A county seat is a county throne.  Will he destroy all the thrones?  Great Babylon will not rise again.  If the county seats remain, the sound of the bride and groom can still be heard in Great Babylon.

the weeks before the delivery of the gifts

In the week before the contracted delivery date, a single, freight container arrives via Well Known Express.  The container is placed in an unused office of the company and opened.  Inside, there is a new container.  This container has standard lines for plugging in to the phone and power outlets.  The power cord supplies a battery backup in the unit.

systems tested

Tests are made to see that the system is operating as specified.  The one technician that knows how to run the test believes that the device must be for corporate espionage.  He reasons that the parent organization must be spying on either American businesses or government.  He is loyal and sworn to secrecy about what he does know.  None of the technicians have any knowledge of what the system really does.

contract specifications

Every system throughout North America and Western Europe tests out ready.  The manufacture has used four important criterion that had been specified in the contract: zero defects manufacturing, molecular level machining, redundancy, and military duty standards.  The Dark Prince of the East has made his delivery and fulfilled his contract.  The Radical is notified.

millions were destroyed while at ease

It was a cloudy and moonless night in Jerusalem.  It was a day when the night was as long as the day.  As the day progressed, millions and millions were suddenly destroyed while at ease.  The Radical is now on the way to his fortress and he summons all his princes.  The third phase of the conquest has just been completed.
