The Patriots – Part 3: The Commission

In the following days of the Jakarta incident, the media covered the press release sent out by the Rockford Caretaking Foundation, detailing how they donated money and resources to rebuild a local mosque and the surrounding area from an inexplicable natural disaster, and announced that their team of scientists were researching the cause of the disaster.

Bhivan Singh scoffed and threw the issue of the Guardian to the side. He knew something was amok with that Lord Rockford. As an Indian man, he heavily distrusted a man who was considered a war hero of Britain. Born to an Indian born father and a British born mother, Bhivan had dual citizenship between the UK and India. He was an ardent supporter of Labour and the Indian National Congress, and worked as a social worker in London, though recently he had devoted this time to other causes.

Bhivan worked for a clandestine organization known only as the Commission, where his codename was Lion. He had come into contact with them through some of his activist friends. The Commission was structured in a way where its agents did not have direct contact or knowledge of one another, in order to protect their overall structure, for they had the lofty goal of exposing and challenging the rich and powerful in the world. They operated with the motto of “Truth, Justice, and Solidarity,” something Bhivan agreed with.

He had received classified information from within the Caretakers that claimed Lord Rockford had more nefarious plans for his global outreach. A plan steeped in Nordicism, authoritarian capitalism, and aristocratic interests. This whistleblower was anonymous, and only went by the alias Dulac. Bhivan had received an encrypted file which was a dossier on the Caretakers and their newest project, the Patriot Initiative.

The first subject was of course, the Lord Rockford. George Henry Rockford had been born to a British family of lower nobility, and served in the British Army, earning the rank of Colonel. He served in the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War with Argentina. There were rumors of war crimes committed, but there were no clear records on the purported incidents. He then joined civilian life, becoming a Member of Parliament for the Conservatives in the House of Commons, before being appointed to the House of Lords. There were documents from former staff describing his disdain for lower class families and people in poverty, as well as his beliefs of racial superiority. At various times, he had voiced his disdain for Africans, Asians, Arabs, Jews, Amerindians, Celts, Southern Europeans, Eastern Europeans, and Pacific Islanders, as well as a complete hatred for the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths. Of course, when a man was steeped that high in aristocratic society, these accusations meant little in terms of his station in life.

Next were his associates. First was a longtime family friend, Lieutenant Commander Percival Devereaux, CMG, SASR. Deveraux came from a long line of British nobles who had governed various parts of the British Empire. He had served in the British SAS during the Iraq War. After the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, there had been an investigation into the disappearances of several Iraqi movement, but the investigation was soon dropped without an explanation, but Devereaux was absolved of all accusations. He continued to operate for British intelligence, and was involved in missions in parts unknown.

Rockford had also courted several Americans for the Patriot Initiative. First was Walter Francis Tadworth, an American businessman who served as the CEO of Tadworth’s Toy Factory, a toy manufacturer, served as a one-term governor of the state of Virginia, then returned to his company, naming it Tadworth Technologies, foraying into different utilities, as well as defense technology. However, there had been an incident upon where Tadworth was responsible for the deaths of 209 unionized workers, after accusing them of terrorist activity which was found to be false. The general modus operandi of his business was to pursue profit first, and worker safety was not even considered as an afterthought.

Another American was William van der Boer, who did not have a real job, but was a world traveller and sports enthusiast. Of Dutch and Ulster-Scot descent, he often visited the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, and South Africa. As a simple background check would find, he had racked up a list of criminal charges in various countries. In 2010, after Spain beat the Netherlands in the final match of the FIFA World Cup, van der Boer rioted in the streets, destroying several black-owned stores in Johannesburg, which earned him a charge for destruction of public property. In 2014, while on summer vacation in Aruba, he was arrested for creeping up to several women and shoving his face into their buttocks as they were sunbathing. Earlier this year, he was arrested in Northern Ireland for harassing and chasing three Catholic schoolgirls, along with his cousin Donald Musgrave. There were also rumors that he destroyed a mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, as well as making unwanted sexual advances towards several Indonesian women.

The final American was not even American at all. Dr. Derek Smith was a chemist from Illinois, but this was a façade. He was actually a former Nazi officer, SS-Hauptsturmführer Dietrich Schumann, a doctor at Buchenwald who oversaw the inhumane experimentation on several hundred prisoners. In particular, he had personally held a disdain for Jews and Polish Catholics, though he killed whoever the Reich told him to. It was believed that he had engaged in controversial chemical experimentation which had prolonged his life, and thus the man would be over 100 years in age, would only look about 60 or 70.

The Patriot Initiative appeared to be an incrementalistic plot to establish an Anglo-Teutonic, Protestant, and authoritarian capitalist hegemony over the world, and subjugate all minorities who did not comply. Bhivan was absolutely disgusted at such a proposition, and was willing to do whatever he could to stop them. According to Dulac’s intel, there was going to be a public rally for the Caretaking Foundation held at the O2 Arena tomorrow afternoon. It was a free event, so Bhivan registered for tickets online, and anticipated for what he would see as the public face of this racist conspiracy.
