Chapter 1- Prologue

It was known as The New Republic, and it had been born out of necessity. Looking back, it began on September 11, with the attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. That was followed by a biological terrorist attack. Subsequently, five cities were destroyed by suitcase nukes that yet another terrorist organization bought from the Chechen Mafia.

Then OPEC- The Oil Producing and Exporting Countries- suddenly refused to accept the dollar for payment of oil, and the American dollar collapsed in an avalanche of debt, followed very closely by the Euro, and the British Pound. This triggered a cascading effect destroying virtually all of the world’s paper money. All services- like the police, army, and fire departments- relating to the infrastructure of Western society began to teeter, because even if all of the people in these services could get paid, paper money was of questionable value. Chaos threatened like never before in memory.

With the breakdown of law enforcement and the dramatic shortages of food and gasoline, armed gangs- who had always had large stocks of legal and illegal weapons- literally took over the streets and neighborhoods of America’s cities. Suburban areas were unable to defend themselves as inner city gangs turned into roving marauders, stealing all available foods, jewelry, and other negotiable commodities. All attractive women and girls were raped during the pillaging, and in some cases kidnapped to become long term sex slaves of the roving gangs. Because of the animalistic nature of these gangs, kidnapped girls and women did not enjoy long life expectancies.

This set the stage for the Dictatorship. Habeas Corpus had already been overturned. So also were privacy rights and illegal search and seizure. But the Dictator swept into power as a benevolent Dictator, promising safety and security. By re-asserting control of the armed forces, and paying them with a new gold based currency, the dictator was able to easily crush and utterly destroy the armed gangs.  At the end of the day people were willing to trade their freedom in order to be safe, well fed, and secure. The armed forces executed all of the gang members captured in the fighting without trials; and the people cheered. This was how the Dictator established the New Republic of America.

The Dictator divided America into zones, which were overseen by Governors, who had virtually absolute power. A Governor could sentence a citizen to death, followed by immediate execution, without a trial. Trials, when they happened, were perfunctory events in which the accused was almost always found guilty. A guilty verdict could bring a sentence of loss of citizenship, with indentured servitude for very long periods of time.

Possession of narcotics, a product associated with the gangs, brought a mandatory death sentence. In some cases the death sentence could be held in abeyance. The condemned prisoner could become the property of the State in which she resided, and be put into a re-education program. This would involve either a school or a household belonging to a wealthy man. Wealthy men became more powerful politically than ever before. The nature of the family was changing, but emphasized strongly.

A wealthy man as the head of his family could have more than one wife if he chose to do so. He could keep additional concubines. Discipline in the family became an important element in our culture again. It was felt that the right kind of discipline could help bring back American values when our culture had somehow lost its way. This discipline was administered by the head of each household, and was encouraged by the Dictator in the White House, and reinforced from the pulpits across America.

It became acceptable again for a man to spank his wife, or his wives, and his daughters. Truth be told, it became almost mandatory.  At first, women spoke out in public against this new “Discipline in the family” practice. The loudest women, many of whom were personalities on television, were all investigated and discovered to be in possession of narcotics. They were all arrested, tried, convicted, and condemned.

In many cases these particular women were quite attractive, and their sentences were held in abeyance as they entered rehabilitation programs and became new people. In each case they were never heard from again. It was understood that their “new lives” kept them quite busy. All protests of America’s new family values of the New Republic ended quite quickly. Women embraced submission of a complete and intimate nature. Those who were smart learned to enjoy it, or at the very least- pretended to enjoy it.

Prosperity returned to America and the rest of the Westernized world, which had adopted very similar practices regionally. Most men noticed very little difference, and enjoyed the differences they noticed. Most went on with their lives as they had before the time of troubles. Their wives deferred to them a bit more in every way, and their sex lives were much more rewarding.

For women it was a slightly different story. They lost a great deal of their personal freedom. They could work if their husbands or fathers allowed them to. They could vote and drive if their husbands allowed them to. Girls were often married by the time they were 16 years old. It became traditional on a girls wedding for her father to spank her in private the night before her wedding as a part of her preparation, and for her husband to repeat the spanking in private on their wedding night as a part of their consummation.

  As long as their husbands were decent, loving people, women were usually able to rationalize that everything was ok in their lives. But still they lived in a little bit of fear every time their husband unbuckled his belt. The one thing that was never on their lips or in their mouths was a word of protest against anything their husbands wanted. That is not to imply that their mouths and lips were idle. Quite to the contrary, their mouths and lips were engaged with great regularity. They didn’t complain.

For other women however, a great deal had changed. Any woman convicted of a crime and sentenced to indentured servitude had a very different experience. Any woman condemned to death, and processed into the New Person Rehabilitation Program had a very different experience. These women became the property of wealthy and powerful men. By coincidence, most of these women were also quite attractive. They would be given the opportunity to use their gift of beauty to its fullest potential. They would fully embrace the discipline of the new American family. These girls and women became “new people”, and were greatly transformed in their demeanor. They were all quite aware that their death sentences –which hung over their heads like the sword of Damocles-could be invoked by their owners at any time.

The transformation of these women took place at special boarding schools placed aside and administered by the State for their re-education. These schools were known as Academies. Wealthy men were able to buy membership to these academies, and participate in every aspect the student’s re-education and transformation. The girls became completely new people in every sense of the word. After completing their re-education, these young women would be sold to a wealthy man as concubines or wives.

Perhaps the hardest adjustment for these girls and women in the Rehabilitation Program was accepting the unequivocal reality that their bodies were no longer their own property. Their bodies were the property of the State and the men appointed by the State. Their mouths, their breasts, their vaginas, and their rectums, were the property of men- to be used in any fashion that their owners dictated. Their asses were beaten not just for discipline, but also for the arbitrary pleasure of the men that owned them.

For wealthy men, the change was most dramatic. Most of these men were by nature somewhat predatory. Most of these men intuitively understood the violent nature of life. They understood conquest, and they understood how to dominate the conquered. I suppose that you could say that these traits were hardwired into the nature of these men. For the first time, these men got the opportunity to act on their innermost inclinations.

Most of these men had previously had three distinct and separate types of lives simultaneously-Public Lives, Private Lives, and Secret Lives. All of the fantasies that these men had held into themselves as secrets were now there to be had for the taking. And they took them with enthusiasm and joy. I understood these men. As the Governor of the Southern Zone of America, I understood them very well.
