The Contagion Nick De La Pena

Suppose you woke up one day to learn that the worship of your god was anti American; the adherence to your religion was a threat to world security and your morals were archaic and divisive? In exchange the government would provide you a new god, (self) a new religion, (Islam) and a new set of morals (tolerance of all beliefs, vices and perversions). How would you take this news? How would you respond? Would you be angry? Would you be ecstatic? Would you want to strike out and fight for your rights or would you just sell out and enjoy the ride? Our journey takes us through this house of mirrors and we learn first hand how dangerous and destructive the aforementioned world becomes. We see how an average American Joe (James White heart Valdez, "the Contagion") treads through the swamplands of the "New America" in search of the world he once held dear only to find himself public enemy number one. Fortunately he isn't alone and countless rise up in allegiance to war against the dragon of the new world order. Compliance is not in the mix. Assimilation is not part of their vocabulary and truth; the black and white version found only in the sacred pages of the forbidden Bible is forged in their hearts and minds and is the impetus that drives them to shed light in the catacombs of a once flourishing dream called America.
