Infinite Cycle of Amway
A building in South Los Angeles exploded in full view of the public. First came a sudden blast from the middle floors, followed immediately by a second deafening bang. The ground trembled violently; the pavement cracked and splintered like a shattered vase. Police officers guarding the entrance were nearly blown off their feet by the shockwave, and thick choking dust filled the entire street.
Then, even worse panic gripped the crowd: the entire building began to tilt and collapse. Shadows from the crumbling structure stretched across the street like a monstrous hand, expanding with terrifying speed. People on the street scattered in wild panic, screaming as the explosion pushed the riot's already boiling atmosphere to a terrifying climax.
A BBC reporter was broadcasting live, her voice shaky as she described the unfolding disaster."Los Angeles, a terrible explosion right behind me. Thick smoke fills the air, police are evacuating bystanders, firefighters are battling the blaze — this violent riot has reached a terrifying new stage..."
Suddenly, the cameraman dropped his equipment and fled in terror, joined by screams and chaos all around. The reporter turned in confusion — and saw the building, now a collapsing colossus, bearing down toward her, its shadow swallowing the street. Seconds later, the entire building crumbled into rubble.
Experts later analyzed the blast and agreed: this was a professional, directional explosion, executed with the precision of an expert demolition crew. The suspect had likely escaped amid the ensuing panic.
When police examined the explosives recovered from the scene, they were stunned to find them to be C-4 manufactured in Czechoslovakia in 1968—a bitter, mocking reminder aimed directly at Los Angeles and the U.S. government. The attackers' message was clear: "This is revenge against your so-called system." A cruel black humor, lost on those in power.
According to confessions from captured rioters, their mysterious leader was a man who always wore a clown mask twisted into an exaggerated smile. As unpredictable and unsettling as the mask itself, he had emerged almost at the riot's inception, rallying the black community against the LAPD. Like a cult figure, he deceived and inspired, quickly becoming both the spiritual and operational head of the uprising.
The most chilling fact? None of the rioters had ever seen his true face. Yet they worshiped him with a strange reverence and absolute loyalty.
The riot's aftershocks still rattled the city when, days later, major networks—including the LAPD—received a videotape. This time, the man no longer wore the clown mask. Instead, his face was hidden behind a pale mask with a curled mustache, sinister crescent-shaped eyes staring like the devil's own gaze.
Dressed sharply in a suit and tie, he sat calmly at a table, addressing the nation:
"People often hide devilish hearts beneath sincere faces and pious acts. I speak of the blood-sucking worms of Wall Street and Washington, parasites who feed on the people. Beneath this mask is an idea — an idea that does not bleed, feel pain, or fear bullets.
Some want to silence us. But though silence replaces conversation, language retains its power. Language lets us share insight and reveal truth to those willing to hear it. And the truth is this country is broken, corrupted, and terrifying."
"We cannot openly question the great decisions of Washington without fear of prison. We claim freedom of speech, but it is stolen from us, disguised as legal violence. American people, remember this: the government should fear its people—not the other way around."
"My true face is irrelevant. What matters is the seed of freedom planted in your hearts. One day, the brutal dictators will fall, and real freedom will come to America. No more exploitation, no discrimination, only equality. Freedom!"
"I am Jock, lover of liberty, enemy of the American government, friend to all free people."
The video ignited a societal firestorm. Opposition to government censorship and racial injustice surged across the streets. People debated the powerful ideas Jock expressed. Government-controlled newspapers condemned him as a violent anarchist; radicals hailed him as America's savior.
For a moment, the country forgot that this "terrorist" had just unleashed riots that wreaked havoc and caused tremendous loss.
Jock became a legendary figure in 1993. His clown mask and the pale, mustachioed visage—reminiscent of Guy Fawkes from the British Gunpowder Plot—became symbols of rebellion and anti-government defiance.
In a society where money equated to justice and discrimination disguised itself as freedom, cracks finally appeared in the patriotic facade. Especially among the ignored people of color and the oppressed poor, Jock's words took root and echoed in their hearts.
The reason the poor and oppressed suffer is not their own failure—it's the system itself. This so-called free country is nothing but a dictatorship cloaked in the guise of liberty. Beyond the isolated riots in other cities, growing crowds took to the streets, brandishing signs and shouting protests against the elite dictatorship ruling the United States.
"We want bread! We want work! We want life and freedom!"
Masked protesters raised defiant middle fingers at the police. This was the first large-scale demonstration since Mario took office. And as the enforcers of the regime, the police responded swiftly—attacking and dispersing the crowds with brutal force. Soon, bloodshed spilled across every major city in the United States.
But behind the American carnival of violence lay a dark, top-secret conspiracy orchestrated by the Soviet Propaganda Department. Six months earlier, a classified dossier codenamed Propaganda Offensive was placed on the desk of Surkov—the Kremlin's gray cardinal. It detailed a new Soviet propaganda strategy: instead of promoting the traditional red revolutionary ideals, they would push anarchism, a more radical and destabilizing force than even American liberalism.
Yanayev critiqued the failure of previous Soviet propaganda. When dealing with the U.S., simply claiming Soviet superiority was futile—every system had flaws, easily refuted by the opposition.
Instead, the best weapon was to champion an idealized extreme system that would replace the current one. The United States prides itself on freedom of speech? Then the Soviets would highlight every restriction, magnify the cracks, and promote anarchist extremism to confuse and divide the people. The U.S. preaches equality? The Soviets would inflame racial tensions and sow doubt about American policies.
By cultivating extreme leftist and anarchist ideas in America—appealing to a freedom without order—they aimed to make the public increasingly dissatisfied with their reality. Coupled with America's economic downturn and President Mario's policy failures, this strategy promised a devastating blow to American strength.
This current wave of riots, sparked by economic hardship, was just the first ripple of a deeper, long-term storm.
Yanayev sat quietly, watching the news of the Los Angeles riots unfold, thinking how much more fascinating this was than past uprisings. The seeds of extreme liberalism were spreading inside America—not likely to be eradicated anytime soon, but unpredictable in how deeply or quickly they might take root.
As long as it disgusted America, Yanayev hoped for many more riots of this scale in the country's history.
"America, America... Did you ever imagine that the land founded on liberalism might one day be undone by liberalism itself?"
