[ WP ] The Occupy movement in New York never ended , but rather growing into a violent revolution culminating in the occupation of New York . The President makes an announcement .

The door shut behind him and President Thomas Perez let out a sigh as he let his shoulders slump and returned himself to the bad posture he usually carried himself with. Ever since he had become the 45 th President of the United States just 6 days ago it seemed he was walking and standing everywhere with a more of a pronounced posture. 
 `` A Presidential posture'' he thought chuckling to himself sadly. 
 Alone now in his private quarters of the bunker he tried to relax for the brief 5 minutes before he was to address the nation. 
 `` What's left of it.'' he found himself saying aloud. 
 It had been six days of chaos. From the second the blast occurred he had been surrounded by at least a dozen men who did n't let him out of their sights. He had insisted that down here in a bunker, hiding like an animal as he saw it, that he could wield some of his authority and demand just five minutes of solitude. 
 He was about to address the nation as their President for the first time since, the crude, but remarkably effective low yield nuclear device destroyed a swath of Washington as President Obama gave the State of the Union address. Taking with it the lives of 14000 people including every single other human being in line of Presidential succession. 
 He was the Secretary of Labor a week ago when then President Obama tapped him to be the one person to not be in attendance at the address. He remembered the President winking at him and saying 
 `` No worries Tommy, you'll be out of the bunker and back in the cabinet in no time'' 
 He had been down here since shortly after the President made that little quip. 
 A bunker 16 miles outside of DC that he was required to be in according to the laws of the the United States Government Continuity laws. 
 `` How has it come to this? 
 he said to the empty room. 
 He knew things had gotten progressively worse in the last 5 years. 
 Incredibly worse really. 
 The Revolution had seemed to occur in escalating degrees of severity in its violence. Relatively peaceful protesters in lower Manhattan giving way to more violent and militant demonstrations.At first the policy of the administration had been to let the protests occur so as long as they were n't violent. The escalation of protester action and police reaction was steady for the next few years. There were more riots, each more violent and deadly then the previous. But then a higher watermark of unrest was set. A group of armed, masked men had ambushed and killed 10 NYPD officers on live TV. 
 The national guard was called in. 
 What followed a week later would be known as the start of the great insurrection. 
 500 armed and organized militant protesters engaged a battalion of the National guard. The battle raged for two weeks and took over 2500 Lives. 
 The insurrection was quelled and, for a brief moment, it was thought all of the radical, militant factions had been killed or captured. 
 But it was only the beginning. Reinforments of militants began coming in droves to Manhattan. Despite martial law set upon the entire city, thousands of angry and incensed citizens made there way to New York. What was once the fringe element of radical society was fast becoming the status quo. 
 A poll of the nation found that the country perceived the putting down of the great insurrection to be a hallmark of a tyrannical government. The island of Manhattan and city of New York was the focal point and lightning rod of the second American Revolution. 
 
 With the financial center of the western world in an open state of anarchy the world was thrust into a economic depression that crippled trade and ostracized and alienated the United States from the rest of World. 
 A few weeks prior to last week's detonation the President had begun to receive intelligence reports from the NSA that the revolutionaries may have nuclear scientists in their ranks that could possibly construct a crude nuclear weapon. The administration, the NSA, and the domestic intelligence community certainly heeded the dire warnings but in the end underestimated and ultimately discounted the findings as `` improbable'' 
 President Perez wondered how many governments and rulers in history had made similar underestimations resulting in their destruction. The French revolution came to mind. The American one as well. 
 It was the hubris of the powerful and elite that blinded them from the masses with torches outside their gates. 
 A knock came from the door and a secret service agent stepped in 
 `` Its time Mr President. I'm to escort you to the broadcast room'' 
 The president offered a curt nod of approval and walked into the hallway. 
 He made his way to the podium with the fake wall behind it adorned with the presidential seal. 
 He noticed the claw of the eagle depicted clutching the arrows on the seal. A symbolic testament that the nation was at war. 
 `` Mr President, we are live in....3....2....1.....'' 
 He straightened his back, stood upright, and put back his shoulders... 
 `` My fellow Americans...
