[49ersFootball]

Pandemonium following the shooting.

It was a crispy Monday afternoon at Malacanang Palace, where hundreds of well-wishers were awaiting the arrival of POTUS Barack Obama in his historic visit to the Philippines...

Over across Manila, there was a group of Secret Task Force members getting last minute instructions on the special "secret assignment". It's not known what the assignment or who the target was, but it was evident this group were staunch supporters of the Duterte's & Marcoses, who were itching to cause chaos in this particular assignment, which was bound to have international & political ramifications...

But first, look back at how we got here...

Over in Manila

The Secret Task Force was getting last-minute instructions, making sure nothing was amiss or missing. One particular female officer was tasked with the biggest assignment of them all, firing shots at this unknown event with a snipier, she was nervous, sweating & scared of this task. Her commanding officer kindly, instructed her detail-by-detail of each specific area on how this assignment will be done.

"I'm scared of this task, I just have to do this. I have to," the female officer said to herself.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila, Philippines.​

POTUS Barack Obama arrives at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Monday, April 28th, 2014 & here he's greeted by Philippine VP Jejomar Binay & other members of the welcoming committee.

It was 12:00 PM PDT, Air Force One arrives at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, where President Obama stepped off of Air Force One & greeted Philippine VP Jejomar Binay, Philippine Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, US Ambassador Phil Goldberg & many others.

"It feels so great to be here in the Philippines. This is going to be a spectacular day as this major Pacific Tour will be key to determining my administration's legacy in the Pivot to Asia," Obama said to both Binay & Goldberg.

Soon after the pleasantries, Obama walked over to Marine One & flew over to the Villamor Airbase, where the Presidential limousine was awaiting to take the President in a motorcade to Malacanang Palace, where Welcoming Ceremony would take place that will include 21 Cannon Salute, Honor Guard Inspection followed by the signing of the Palace Guest Book inside the Reception Hall then Joint Press Conference with Philippine President Benigno SC Aquino, III & later that evening, State Dinner inside the Rizal Ceremonial Hall.

Aliyah Corpuz
Monday, April 28th, 2014
1:00 PM PDT, Malacanang Palace, Manila, Philippines.

Aliyah from Summer of 2011
​

"It's time to do this & send a message to the world that nobody ***** with us ever again!", Aliyah declared. With the rest of the Secret Task Force members holding their weapons, aimed & ready for the first couple of codes to attack, Aliyah was watching the crowd from an open rooftop at one of the balconies of the Malacanang Palace Grounds, with her binoculars, watching as group of well-wishers were holding US & Philippine flags, special guests lining up for the reviewing greet & meet section.

Aliyah Velasquez Corpuz, aged 36, was a divorced mother of five kids (her ex husband, Eduardo took custody of the five kids for his concerns about Aliyah's aggressive behavior) who had been serving with the PNP's Police Regional Office 1 (PRO1: Ilocos Region) . A native of Ilocos Norte, (her immediate family, the Velasquezes were wealthy & super rich) Corpuz graduated from Ilocos Norte National High School & Mariano Marcos State University before enlisting to serve in the Philippine Marine Corps for six years, serving with the Marine Rifle Battalion: where she excelled greatly with her karate, athletic & sniper kill shot skills & was promoted to the rank of Captain before being honorably discharged with honors. She then moved over to law enforcement, serving in the Philippine National Police, where she reunited with several of her colleagues, who were part of the Secret Task Force division (a top secret group of PNP officers, who coordinated with launching chaotic events in other parts of the world in secret mission due to the name of "Protecting the Republic").

Some perhaps would be tempted to frame the actions of the Secret Task Force's actions as the manifestation of a sense of cynicism that permeated the world with international ramifications--she would express herself in secret, chaotic ways in the incident. But these forces at work far greater than mere politics that compelled Aliyah & the Secret Task Force to disguising themselves as either PNP officers, local TV journalists, etc., over to Malacanang Palace, where the Welcoming Honors Ceremony for POTUS Obama would take place.

The commander of the Secret Task Force informed the group, "We're ready to go. Let's do this!" & it was time to in their words, "save the Republic by any means necessary."

Welcoming Honors Ceremony
Monday, April 28th, 2014
2:30 PM PDT, Malacanang Palace Grounds

POTUS Obama & Philippine President Benigno SC Aquino, III during the Honor Guard Inspection just seconds before the shots rang out.
​

At 2:30 PM, President Obama & Philippine President Aquino, III including their respective military attaches walked out of the Bonifacio Hall (the Presidential motorcade arrived at 2:14 PM, where Obama & others walked in to get a quick breather & other activities before exiting). They embarked on the platform for the Welcoming Honors Ceremony to begin, which began with a loud 21 Cannon Salute, the National Anthems of the United States ("Star-Spangled Banner") & the Philippines ("Lupang Hiriang") were played respectively while Aliyah & members of the Secret Task Force waited quietly & patiently to strike.

Several feet down, perhaps 12 or so steps away, Philippine National Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin looked on. He caught glimpses of the AFP Honor Guard including the PSG (Presidential Security Group) Marching Band, making sure things go perfect in the historic State Visit of President Obama to the Philippines. A somewhat elderly woman in black & white pantsuit with a matching hat stood out in the crowd of well-wishers; her dyed orange hair reminded some people in the crowd, one reason or another, of TV's Edith Bunker. Nobody took no notice of the shining objects blinding some people in the crowd on the balcony.

Aliyah heard some of the applause as the Honor Guard Inspection began to occur, & looked forward to see Obama & Aquino, III walking past the PSG Marching Band & AFP Honor Guard. She reached into her long bag, withdrawing the sniper & steadying calmly directly outward towards the President. Vietnam War Veteran & PNP Quezon City Police Chief Octavio Gutierrez looked over for a little bit, the reflection of the sun shining off the sniper & drawing his attention from the corner of his eye. Aliyah was sweating non-stop, perfusely, she hesitated for a little bit, "He was a human being. He's got a wife. He's got kids. He----"

Gutierrez snapped, "NOW WAIT A MINUTE....."

Without any further thought, she aimed calmly & fired the sniper:

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG....

 

[49ersFootball]

Epic chaos following the massive gunfire.

As soon as Aliyah fired the first 6 shots from her sniper (she was wearing gloves as she cocked the sniper to fire multiple shots), the other Secret Task Force members launched a surprise attack & opened fire, hitting several Secret Service agents, PSG Agents, PNP officers & some in the crowd. Following the chaos, Secret Service agents grabbed Obama & Aquino, III to the Presidential limousine, which immediately drove off all the way to Makati Medical Center followed by Secret Service & PSG vehicles following behind.

"Where's the backup to get me out of here, I don't want to get captured" Aliyah said while she was holding her long bag with the sniper inside & she was sweating profusely non-stop, where she quietly get out of the balcony (avoided getting caught by law enforcement), got into a taxi & drove off. It was pandemonium as many kids were crying while their parents were holding them tight, advising them to get down to avoid further shots being fired.

Ramos
2:45 PM PDT, Monday, April 28th, 2014
Fidel V. Ramos Presidential Center, Manila, Philippines.

​

Former Philippine President Fidel Valdez Ramos, who had served as the 12th President of the Philippines from June 30th, 1992 to June 30th, 1998 & also served as Philippine VP (January 20th, 1987 to June 30th, 1992), Philippine National Defense Secretary under then-President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino (1988 to 1991), Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (1986 to 1988 under President Aquino & 1984-1985 under then-President Ferdinand Marcos) as well as serving as Chief of the Philippine Constabulary under Marcos from (1972 to 1986), was watching the festivities from inside his office at the Ramos Presidential Center when like everyone else, he had witnessed gunshots being fired during the Welcoming Ceremony at Malacanang Palace, then watched as PSG Agents & Secret Service Agents grabbed both Obama & Aquino, III to an awaiting limousine, which drove them to Makati Medical Center...

"What the H*** just happened over at Malacanang Palace ? Did I just witnessed that on live TV ? Somebody over at the receptionist hall better give me information on what just transpired quickly!"

His security detail drove him to Malacanang Palace, where he was informed that a shooting had occurred on the grounds of the Palace, but wasn't given any other details on who was shot, how many people were injured in the attack or the condition of both POTUS Obama & President Aquino, III.

​

Upon watching the horror on C-SPAN, VP Joe Biden realized the worst had occurred in Manila, "HOLY ****!" he said aloud while watching the morning news reports with his wife, Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden at the family kitchen table on the private quarters of the VP's residence, Circle One Observatory. About 6 minutes later, Secret Service Agents barged in, grabbing the VP with both arms & hurriedly escorted him to an awaiting limousine, which sped off fast to the White House, where he walked into the Situation Room, receiving intelligence briefings on the situation in Manila.

You might want to cut the time on that considerably, I could see some delay, but typically with the resources placed around POTUS and the VP, if there is a delay of 25 minutes or more, someone isn't doing their job right.

BREAKING NEWS: 4:00 PM PDT POTUS BARACK OBAMA DEAD AT THE AGE OF 52; VP BIDEN TO BECOME 47TH POTUS

August 4th, 1961-April 28th, 2014​

9:46 AM EST

Smith: "From Manila, Philippines, the flash apparently official: President Obama died at 4:00 PM PDT, 9:00 AM EST, some 46 minutes ago.....(Fox News Analyst Eboni Williams is on the verge of crying as Juan Williams & Jessica Tarlov console her off-camera). VP Biden (Smith clearing his throat) has been notified of the President's death, while he was in the Situation Room of the White House, but we don't know to where he has proceeded. Presumably, he will be taking the oath of office shortly & become the 47th President of the United States.

Now America has 6 Presidents, who have been assassinated in office: Abraham Lincoln (April 15th, 1865), James Garfield (September 19th, 1881), William McKinley (September 14th, 1901), John F. Kennedy (November 22nd, 1963), Gerald R. Ford (September 5th, 1975) & now Barack Obama (April 28th, 2014)."

9:50 AM EST, Private Residence (3rd floor), White House

January 21st, 2013: The Obama family during happier times.

She wanted to faint, but was too stunned to do that or anything for that matter. Her mind went numb too, the reality sinking in with a strong force greater than she could have anticipated. She continued to stare hard into the mournful eyes of White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, United States Senator Mark R. Warner (D-VA) & his wife, Lisa Collis. Jarrett repeated again, "I'm sorry Mrs. Obama. I'm sorry." Without a word, she turned & raced towards the liquor cabinet behind her, & shaking profusely, she poured herself a Martini (shaken with ice) & turned again towards Valerie. She took a couple of sips, as if a spell had been broken, she fell to her knees & began to cry.

"Barry!" she sobbed, "Oh my God! My Barry! What am I going to tell my daughters that their father is gone & not coming back ?" Jarrett watched, her stomach knotted by the scene playing out before her. She joined her on her knees & wrapped her arms around her. It was of little comfort, but it gave Jarrett a rare feeling of humanity & distracted her from the reality that her time in the White House was likely coming to a close. In the First Lady's private office, the telephone rang loudly & a young intern darted behind them to answer it. She came back down the hall at once, & spoke to Mrs. Obama in a quiet, soft voice.

"Madam First Lady," she said, "President Biden is on the line."

The Impromptu Inauguration of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.,
10:00 AM EST, Monday, April 28th, 2014
East Room, White House, Washington, DC.

​

SCOTUS Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor was filing in for SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts (who was in the hospital for medical treatment) to swear in the new President inside the East Room of the White House. She took to the podium to administer the Presidential Oath of Office. The Obama Presidency had expired as soon as the official notification of Obama's death was announced, Secret Service Agents confiscated the nuclear football, as the employees of the US Embassy & members of the entourage in Manila arrived at the Heritage Park in Quezon City to prepare bringing the slain President's body back to the States. Back in Washington, DC., Biden, who officially ascended into office as America's 47th Commander-in-Chief. The Associate Justice now stood before the cameras (which was flashing non-stop inside the East Room of the White House). Members of the Biden family including DE State AG Beau Biden (D) sat in the front rows & Maya Sotero-Ng represented the Obama family.

Sotomayor: "Mr. President, are you prepared to take the Oath of Office ?"

Biden: "Yes ma'am."

Sotomayor: "Please put your hand on the Biden family Bible, raise your right hand & repeat after me your Oath of Office.
I, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., do solemnly swear..."

Biden: "I, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., do solemnly swear..."

Sotomayor: "That I will faithfully execute."

Biden: "That I will faithfully execute."

Sotomayor: "The office of President of the United States"

Biden: "The office of President of the United States"

Sotomayor: "& will to the best of my ability."

Biden: "& will to the best of my ability."

Sotomayor: "Preserve, protect & defend."

Biden: "Preserve, protect & defend."

Sotomayor: "The Constitution of the United States."

Biden: "The Constitution of the United States."

Sotomayor: "So help me God."

Biden: "So help me God."

Sotomayor: "Congratulations Mr. President."

The room broke out in quiet respectful applause; the Associate Justice removed herself from the podium, & took a seat next to new First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, who watched on as her husband began his Inaugural Address.

President Biden: "Thank you very much Associate Justice Sotomayor, distinguished guests, my fellow Americans & members of the international community.

Please let us take a moment of silence & prayer in honor of the late President Barack Obama. Let us remember a man of conviction, dignity & love of country, who served this nation of ours until the final breath of his life. On behalf of the American people, Jill & myself in particular, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the Obama family, who has contributed their public service throughout the years. A family, which lost one of its finest sons today. We are with you, & we shall never forget the 46th President of the United States.

[Silence]

Like all members of the Obama administration, I have been proud to serve this President & his agenda, that advanced America & the world at so many different levels. That brought peace to millions in the world & prosperity at home. Today, in this moment of sorrow & resolve, I stand here before you as someone who had sought the Presidency in the past, but ascended to this office under unfortunate circumstances & its enormous responsibility. But neither will I shrink it. The nation has lost a great leader before his time, but the constitutional republic, that President Obama wholeheartedly believed in, works, as it has over our proud 238 year history. I shall be a humble servant for the American people, who elected me twice as their Vice President, & continue the policies of President Barack Obama. As I assume the solemn duty to serve as your President, I feel it is my duty to make a compact with my fellow countrymen. Not an inaugural address, not a fireside chat, not a campaign speech, just a little straight talk among friends & I intend it to be the first of many.

& even though we as a nation are on a crossroads today & we are mourning, nothing could honor the service & legacy of President Obama more than to continue the hard work he began when you first elected him to this office. With a sense of devotion & optimism. This was President Obama's spirit, & this is the spirit of America, our America. As I assume the Presidency under these extra ordinary circumstances, I ask you to join me in this effort & give me your trust, your prayers & your support. We have many challenges ahead, but only as one nation, under God, we can & will prevail. We have one common destiny, as one nation with freedom & justice for all.

To outline the specific goals of my Presidency & my administration, I have already spoken with congressional leaders earlier today to give a speech before a Joint Session of Congress within the next two weeks. I am confident, that together, we will move this nation forward & renew its principles & ideals while finding pragmatic solutions that makes America a better place every single day.

With all the strength & all the good sense I have gained from life, with all the confidence my family, my friends, the dedicated Cabinet & my diligent staff impart to me, & with the goodwill of countless Americans I have met over my five & a half years as your Vice President, I now solemnly reaffirm the promise I made you over the course of my career as a public servant: to uphold the Constitution, to do what is right as God gives me to see the right, & to do the very best I can for America.

I will not let you down. Thank you very much, God Bless America & may God Bless our troops."
