A Movement is Born

In the last four years of the 20th century, George Burton throws himself into the Herculean task of transforming his newly form organization, the National Association for a Populist America into a nation-wide movement that's determined to remake the conservative movement into a populist-nationalist movement, with the goal of preventing the United States from sinking into the cesspool of socialism. He and a cadre of dedicated followers that he gathered around him tirelessly begin the organization the N.A.P.A. in all fifty states. The conservatives are the first to attack his new movement's activist program of challenging the left on the streets through demonstrations and counter-demonstration and its anti-free trade and anti-globalist program. Burton studies the radical tactics of the left and is determined to use them against his opponents. He organizes professional demonstrators that make-up his Minutemen Militia, and builds-up a highly disciplined intelligence network using the most advance computer technology to collect compromising information to threaten and blackmail elected officials into supporting him. His Minutemen begins a campaign of breaking up leftist assemblies, meetings and rallies, confronting them on the streets of America, stopping them from causing havoc and mayhem by marching through middle class neighbors and challenging leftist leaders and organizations with thousands of lawsuits, and a campaign of harassment, intimidation and threats. He charges the conservative establishment as too cowardly to confront those who deny patriotic Americans their civil rights and that one has to fight fire with fire, using the leftists' own tactics against them. By the turn of the century his N.A.P.A. is rapidly growing into a political force that cannot be ignored. Burton warnings about of an inpending collapse of the United States economy which proves to be farsighted. Just as the world is about to enter the 21st century, it is plunged into the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
