The Great Betrayal: A Story About The Firing Of Innocent America Federal Workers
"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of My people..." — Isaiah 10:1-2

The crowds had cheered when President William Hawthorne took the stage on Inauguration Day. His voice, strong and unwavering, echoed across the National Mall as he proclaimed:
"We will make America great again! We will restore jobs, rebuild families, and bring prosperity to every home!"
The people believed him. They had suffered too long—watching their wages shrink, their towns collapse, their children forced into debt and despair. They saw him as a savior, a man of the people, a leader who understood their pain.
But it was all a lie.
Behind closed doors, President Hawthorne was plotting something else. Not restoration, not prosperity—but devastation. His administration was preparing to fire thousands of federal employees, throwing families into poverty, breaking the very promises that had carried him to power.
And no one was allowed to question him.
"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another." — Leviticus 19:11

The Whistleblower
Daniel Weiss had seen many betrayals in his years as a political journalist, but this one felt personal. He had once believed in President Hawthorne—had even voted for him, believing his words about restoring the nation.
But now, sitting in a dimly lit office with a trembling government worker before him, he knew the truth.
"They’re firing us in waves," the man whispered, his hands shaking as he slid a folder across the table. "They’re covering it up with excuses—budget cuts, restructuring—but it’s a purge. Thousands of us. People who’ve given their lives to this country. People who believed in him."
Daniel flipped open the folder. Internal memos. Emails. Orders from the highest levels. A deliberate, ruthless plan to strip hardworking Americans of their jobs.
He clenched his jaw. "Why?"
The whistleblower hesitated. "I don’t know the full reason. But I heard something disturbing. Some of these jobs—they’re not disappearing. They’re being handed over to private companies. Foreign companies. The President is selling off America piece by piece."
Daniel felt sick. The man who had promised to restore America was gutting it from the inside.
"You shall not pervert the justice due to the poor in his lawsuit. Keep yourself far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked." — Exodus 23:6-7

The Cover-Up
Daniel published his first report the next morning. The headline blazed across the nation:
"BETRAYAL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL: PRESIDENT HAWTHORNE'S SECRET PLAN TO FIRE AMERICANS"
The reaction was instant. Protests erupted. People demanded answers.
But instead of admitting the truth, the President doubled down.
At a press conference, he sneered at the accusations. "These are nothing but lies from radical journalists trying to destroy this country. We’re not firing anyone unjustly. We’re simply eliminating waste and streamlining our government for a stronger America."
A stronger America? By throwing thousands into unemployment?
"They speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts." — Psalm 28:3
And then came the next blow.
That night, Daniel received an anonymous call. A muffled voice whispered through the line:
"They're coming for you next."
Click.

The Fight for Justice
Daniel wasn’t afraid. He had been threatened before. But this was bigger than him.
The next day, he met with another source—a former White House staffer who had just resigned in disgust.
"I couldn’t keep quiet," she said. "The President… he's not working alone. Powerful men are behind this. They’re restructuring America for their own gain, using him as a puppet."
She handed Daniel another folder. This one was even worse.
Contracts with foreign corporations. Deals made in secret. A plan not just to fire federal employees—but to replace them with workers from overseas, controlled by multinational elites.
It was treason.
"They build up Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with iniquity. Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets divine for money." — Micah 3:10-11

The Nation Rises
Daniel released everything. The documents. The testimonies. The truth.
And America erupted.
Millions of citizens—both supporters and critics of the President—flooded the streets. Workers went on strike. Towns rallied behind the fired employees. Even members of the government, previously loyal to Hawthorne, began turning against him.
The tide was shifting.
In a desperate attempt to save himself, the President called an emergency address to the nation. He stood before the cameras, sweat on his brow, and spoke:
"I have done nothing wrong."
The nation roared back.
"You shall not steal. You shall not deal falsely. You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning." — Leviticus 19:13
But the people knew. The truth had been exposed.
And the Great Betrayer would soon face the judgment of the people—and of God.
