    • BREAKING NEWS: JOHN MACKOVIC FIRED AS HEAD COACH OF THE TEXAS LONGHORNS FOOTBALL TEAM AFTER SIX SEASONS WITH OVERALL (41-28-2) RECORD; 2 SWC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, 1 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP
    med_res

    Soon after the disastrous season in the history of the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns Football team, the University of Texas System Board of Regents unanimously voted to officially fired embattled Head Coach John Mackovic effective immediately.

    The moves after the Longhorns lost to their arch-rival Texas A&M in College Station during the Thanksgiving holiday break. It also marked an epic fall from grace for the football team as they had undergone chaotic turmoil during the 1997 season when UCLA went to Austin and blew them out badly.

    Mackovic leaves Austin with an overall record of (41-28-2), two Southwestern Conference championships (1994, 1995); one Big 12 South Divisional title (1996); one Big 12 conference championship (1996) and three bowl games.

    The national coaching search will begin on who'll be considered Mackovic's successor for the upcoming 1998 season. Stay tuned!

    During an afternoon address from the East Room of the White House, President White announced he was nominating US House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) to serve as the next Vice President of the United States.

    White highlighted Gephardt's list of achievements including years of public service. Then Gephardt took to the podium and thanked the President for choosing him to serve in the administration as well as pledging to work very hard with President White, members of the administration, Congress and traveling the country to meet with countless Americans.

    The confirmation hearings will be beginning sometime during the Christmas holiday break, with the first confirmation hearings in the US House of Representatives and the United States Senate to begin their confirmation hearings beginning January 15th.

    • "after getting scolded by President White and White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles over the horrific security apparatus that resulted in President Gore's assassination, I felt like it was only a matter of time before a major house cleaning was in store for some of us in the US Secret Service.

    I went to the Deputy Director of the US Secret Service and asked "What do you think the new administration will demand going forward?" The Deputy Director sighed and suggested new security measures such as placing metal detectors inside the White House, having the FBI doing background checks on some of our agents, etc.,"

    "The Republicans lost their perfect foils to assassination: Bill Clinton (1996) and Al Gore (1997). They knew that Mark Wells White, Jr., wasn't going to get pushed around due to the honeymoon period because the nearly five months he served as acting President during Gore's long incapacitation and eventually ascension to the Presidency as the 45th President of the United States on December 4th.

    I KNEW that President White's approval ratings were sky high with a 64 percent approval rating across all demographics and social, ideological, economic backgrounds throughout the country. I should know because Mark had won five consecutive statewide elections in a row from 1977 to 1990. Seeing a fellow Texan occupying the Oval Office for the third time in our nation's history was amazing and also intimidating at the same time.

    Here in Austin, Governor George W. Bush had to grudgingly give President White credit of keeping the nation from descending into chaos. Yet, I knew George, Jr., also had his pulse on the national level due to his family's decades of public service and I strongly anticipated he was gunning for the White House in 2000 if President White declines to seek a full four-year term. As a matter of fact, the second he defeated then-United States Senator Ann Richards (D-TX) in the 1994 Texas Gubernatorial election, it was damn obvious to everyone that George was gunning for the Presidency and everyone, both Democrats and Republicans in Austin KNEW it.

    Back to the national front: Republicans led by Speaker Gingrich and Senate Majority Leader Lott were going to attempt to undermine President White at some point down the road considering the 1998 Midterms was around the corner and the opposition couldn't find any scandals to use by exploiting them. Upon hearing that Gephardt was chosen as the President's choice to serve as VP, something told me he was going to become the numbet one foil and political punching bag."

    "while everybody in the world was moving on, there was a nagging foreign policy issue in the Middle East that wasn't going away. I couldn't tell when, why, who or how but it became clear to many of us in the intelligence community that the White administration was going to be making a difficult decision on whether to making a strategic plan on taking out the world's most wanted person...."

    • Gephardt VP confirmation hearings
    • BREAKING NEWS ALERT: HELMS, LOTT, THURMOND ANNOUNCE OPPOSITION TO GEPHARDT'S VP NOMINATION
    *December 21, 1997: US Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) and fellow United States Senators Strom Thurmond (R-SC) and Jesse Helms (R-NC) announced their opposition to the nomination of US House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) as Vice President due to "extreme hidden agenda and pushing government regulation."

    Helms also threatened to block the nomination if it gets to the floor of the United States Senate, even threatening to filibuster the nomination to death. Helms also threatened to derail the White administration's American Jobs legislation because he feels the bill has "too much big government goodies for the liberals in Washington DC". When asked if he would derail Cabinet nomimees too, Helms gleefully said yes he would and declared "My number one priority is to ensure Mark White has a failed presidency and I thrive off of inflicting personal pain on the President and First Lady because they better get some bodyguards."

    White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles viciously attacked Helms' comments as defamatory, insulting, derogatory and disgusting.

    • Political scoop
    • BREAKING NEWS ALERT: HELMS KEEPS PROMISE; BLOCKS GEPHARDT'S VP NOMINATION
    *December 29, 1997: In a not surprising move, United States Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) blocked the nomination of US House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) as Vice President once it got to the Senate floor.

    Helms justified the move saying "I don't think Congressman Gephardt is qualified to serve as Vice President. I will keep blocking the nomination for the remaining three years if necessary!"

    White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles blasted Helms' move "What Senator Helms did today was a political stunt and he will have to answer to his constituents if they enjoy seeing progress in this nation stopped or sidetracked."

    PRESIDENT WHITE WITHHOLDS FEDERAL AID TO THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA: THREATENS TO GO EVEN FURTHER IN HAVING THE NCAA BAR THE TAR HEEL STATE'S COLLEGE SPORTS TEAMS FROM POSTSEASON
    *In a retaliatory move, President White aggressively moved to withholding federal funds to the State of North Carolina, even going so far as to blocking block-grant programs from going to the Tar Heel State.

    Justifying the move during a working visit to Taiwan, President White told reporters while aboard Air Force One, "If the Senator from North Carolina keeps using parliamentary maneuvers by preventing the full US Senate from voting on the nomination of House Minority Leader Gephardt to serve as Vice President, I'll up the ante by threatening to have the NCAA ban the University of North Carolina, NC State University and other schools in North Carolina from participating in postseason games."

    White also justified this by pushing to deny hurricane relief for North Carolina if Helms continues blocking Gephardt's nomination as Vice President. "If he (Helms) continues to persist, I'll use every maneuver myself with the powers of the Presidency and doing what I strongly believe needs to be done."

    Sources say the President's aggressive tactics angered many in the North Carolina congressional delegation upon hearing that the White administration was cutting off federal aid to the Tar Heel State including threats of denying federal aid on natural disaster relief.
     
    • Approval Ratings
    • Poll: North Carolinians strongly disapprove President White's job performance due to the White administration's controversial actions against the State of North Carolina
    *January 10, 1998: The Charlotte Observer took a statewide polling survey across the State of North Carolina and it revealed that majority of North Carolinians voiced strong disapproval of President White's job performance due to the White administration's controversial actions such as cutting off federal aid to North Carolina such as denying federal assistance in regard to natural disater relief, infrastructure projects, etc.,

    68 percent of North Carolinians disapprove of President White while 16 percent approve.

    ABC News reported that North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt (D) blasted the White administration's controversial actions during a speech in Wilmington from over the weekend.

    • President White arrives in Sarajevo, Bosnia in first international trip of his Presidency
    Air_Force_One_SAM_27000.jpg

    Air Force One leaving Andrews Air Force Base for the trip to Bosnia.    ​

    *December 22, 1997: President Mark W. White left the White House on Sunday via Marine One and flew to Andrews Air Force Base for the all-night journey to Sarajevo. He came to visit the US military troops by spreading holiday cheer as well as working on extending NATO's peacekeeping mission. He was accompanied by First Lady Linda Gale White. This was the first international trip of his Presidency since ascending to the nation's highest office 18 days earlier.

    Due to foggy weather on Sunday night in Aviano, Italy, White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry confirmed that the President's plans had to change at the last minute, when Air Force One flew to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where the Presidential party transferred to a small plane continuing the trip to Sarajevo.

    Arriving in Sarajevo, Bosnian airport personnel rolled out the red carpet for White, who was greeted by three members of the Bosnian Collective Presidency including Serbian hard-liner Momcilo Krajisnik.

    President White's arrival was marked by heavy security in Sarajevo, with local law enforcement and UN police vehicles patrolling the main road into town and policemen were stationed every 20-30 yards. Plastic tunnel was erected into the museum where the President was planning on meeting with the Collective Presidency. Hundreds of people stood along the airport roads, waving their hands and flags as the presidential motorcade drove past neighborhoods that were on the front-line of the devastating war which ended just two years earlier. Many of the houses are blasted beyond repair or rebuilding; others had to be off-limits because the suburbs haven't been cleared fully of land mines.

    Accompanying the President was a top-level delegation that included 1996 Republican presidential nominee, former US Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS), his wife, former US Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole, President of the Red Cross and number of congressional Republicans.

    • Personal PoV's
    • Mandisha's personal PoV
    January 12, 1998
    Somewhere in the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona
    ***The following installment will be quite graphic, erotic and violent. Viewer discretion advised!
    ​
    Mandisha Dushav was an Egyptian American woman, who had been having a hard time in a few years: from being snickered by jealous classmates at high school, getting roughed up by bitter classmates, who threw her in a locker by locking her inside and getting into fights with some on the soccer team during practice.

    Following graduation with All American honors, Mandisha decided to attend the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado over the strong objections of some of her family members, who tried to advise her to attend the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington State which has an ROTC program. However, Mandisha was determined to doing what she wanted to do and nobody was going to tell her nothing.

    Fast forward less than two years later, Mandisha was in her sophomore year at the Air Force Academy where she was excelling both academically and athletically. Despite several of the accolades, it was damn obvious some of the cadets were furious and jealous of "that uppity Egyptian bitch" whom they considered as "one of those uppity outsiders, who thinks she's smarter than everybody else". An upcoming evening training exercise was going to take place in the middle of nowhere, to some jealous cadets it was just the way they preferred it.

    On the evening of January 12th, Mandisha was participating in an evening basic training exercise with other USAF Academy cadets in the middle of nowhere and suddenly got lost following her group. "I think I might've gotten lost" she wondered and was nearing the outpost as to following her group known as the B Team, who gotten stuck in the forrest.

    While Mandisha was following the track of footprints, she was suddenly ambushed from behind when a male cadet used the butt of his rifle to knock her out; what happens next became quite disturbing....

    The male cadet growled his group of buddies "Let's teach this half-breed bitch a lesson now!" Mandisha tried to fight back by kicking some of them and punching back, when someone from "The First Team" violently punched her in the face knocking her unconscious as one of the male cadets removed her clothes from head to toe, throwing them into the lake, spreading her legs wide as the group of male cadets (five overall) took turns violently raping Mandisha all night long.

    "Penetrate that Egyptian half-breed piece of SHIT!" one of the sadistic male cadets happily growled as he threatened to kill Mandisha if she talked; they continued raping her non-stop repeatedly when a cadet walked in on what was going on "What the fuck are you assholes doing? Stop!"; "You're a fucking coward Perkins. What are you gonna do about it? Cry to the Superintendent of the Academy?" Perkins again told them "Stop it now damn it!" before grabbing one of the male cadets off of a bloodied, bruised and battered naked Mandisha.

    "You're gonna fucking pay for this Perkins" growled one of the five male cadets before they left. Perkins was horrified by what he had just saw before leaving because he didn't want to be accused of raping a female cadet.

    In the early morning hours of January 13th, a female cadet named Jennifer Hickcock of Tacoma, Washington State was horrified by what she saw: "Mandisha. What happened? I was trying to find you all night because nobody heard back from you during the basic training exercise last night." Jennifer immediately called Master Sergeant Roscoe Feliciano, who arrived and placed a large jacket covering Mandisha's naked body. Feliciano immediately called for medical assistance and sealed off the entire area as a crime scene.

    Jennifer accompanied Mandisha to the hospital while the authorities contacted Mandisha's father, US Army Brigadier General Joseph Mitchell, who was stationed in Seoul, Republic of Korea at the time of the incident. For the Brigadier General, who was one of the commanding officers of US Forces Korea, he wanted an explanation of what happened (more on him later)......

    *December 7, 1996: With an attendance of 63,109 at the Trans World Dome in St. Louis, Missouri, the college football world was turned upside down with the unranked Texas Longhorns (8-4) pulled one of the biggest shockers of all: defeating the two-time defending national champion No. 3 Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-2) by a score of 44-27. Before the game, a moment of silence was held in honor of the late President Bill Clinton.

    Longhorns quarterback James Brown threw for a career-best 353 yards on 19 of 28 passing attempts while running back, fifth-year senior Priest Holmes rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns. Texas had peppered Nebraska's top five-ranked defense for 527 yards of total offense by the end of the contest. "We probably had more big plays against us today than we've had all season long," Nebraska defensive coordinator Charlie McBride said in a post-game press conference. "I can't remember a game since I've been at Nebraska for 20 years when we had that many big plays against us."

    FLORIDA GATORS WIN FIFTH SEC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP OVER ALABAMA

    *December 7, 1996: Georgia Dome (Atlanta, Georgia)
    An estimated sellout crowd of 74,132 watched as the SEC Eastern Division champion No. 4 Florida Gators (11-1) defeated their arch rivals, the SEC Western Division champion No. 11 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-3) by a score of 45-30 in what many considered as the likely final game coached by Alabama Head Coach Gene Stallings, who plans on coaching their bowl game.

    Florida quaterback Danny Wuerffel was named Most Valuable Player of the Game due to throwing for a record-high 401 passing yards and six touchdowns against an Alabama defense, which was ranked at No. 6 in the country and was coming into the game in overall total defense, but little did the Crimson Tide know of what the Gators were going to sucker-punch them...

    Despite the Crimson Tide getting on the scoreboard first in the game, it didn't take too long for the Gators to respond and respond viciously by outscoring Alabama 24-7 in the first half that ended with Florida leading 24-14. Going into the third quarter, both teams traded touchdowns which included long scoring plays from both sides; Florida put the game away in the fourth quarter with a final touchdown. Florida wide receiver Reidel Anthony, one of Wuerffel's favorite targets, caught the football 11 times for 171 receiving yards with three touchdowns.

    BYU COUGARS FINISH SEASON UNDEFEATED (14-0) DEFEATING NO. 20 WYOMING IN OVERTIME 28-25; AWAIT FATE ON BOWL ALLIANCE

    Cougars fans celebrate on the field at Sam Boyd Stadium following BYU's overtime victory against No. 20 Wyoming.

    *December 7, 1996: In the inaugural WAC (Western Athletic Conference) championship game which was held at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada being televised on ABC with an estimated crowd of 41,238 in attendance including representatives from the three alliance bowls were on hand to watch, as No. 6 BYU had struggled early in the game; then had to come from behind in a game that wasn't as typical of an ending in WAC conference standards.

    BYU's Ethan Pochman kicked the game-winning 32-yard field goal during overtime as the Cougars escaped with a 28-25 victory, keeping their undefeated season alive with a record of (14-0) including hopes of playing in a major bowl game such as either the Fiesta Bowl or Sugar Bowl as potential landing spots. BYU Head Coach LaVell Edwards told reporters after the wild game, "We should be playing somewhere in a major bowl game," adding "Certainly we deserve to be one of those teams."

    Despite taking a 13-0 lead during halftime, the Cougars quickly sputtered in the third quarter, which resulted in having to come from behind by forcing overtime at the end of regulation with Porchman kicking the game-tying field goal which enraged Wyoming Head Coach Joe Tiller. Asked about the wild twists and turns of the game, BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian summed it up "We battled back and we battled back again," continuing "We could've folded our tent when we lost our momentum but we didn't."

    Now the BYU Cougars football team and their fans would have to wait and see what comes....

    • Chapter 4: Possible change in India?
    • Change coming to India (Part I)
    4:56 PM IST, Wednesday, January 14, 1998
    New Delhi, India
    ​
    "LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION! SAVE INDIA NOW!" yelled protesters as they marched down the streets of New Delhi. Economic sanctions were crippling the country as well as explosive developments in the heinous massive war crimes committed by the Military Junta of India during their nearly 14 years in power. The mood of the Indian people was immediate: they wanted democracy and they wanted it now!

    Backlash against Indian President General Ved Prakaish Malik has been brewing for awhile due to corruption scandals, economic problems, the South Asian country getting a bad reputation on the international stage. The mood went from mumbling, rumors and political talk behind the scenes escalated to uprisings that increased across Metro New Delhi for the past several months.

    On the late morning hours of January 14th, the first potential signs of defections against the Military Junta of India began when young Indian Army officers announced in a press conference "Due to the serious and deteriorating situation engulfing the Indian government, we cannot align ourselves with a government, who betrays the trust of it's people. We believe the time has come to open the Republic of India back to full democracy!" Once word got to President Malik at Rashtrapati Bhavan (Residence of the Indian President) about the defections and explosions at one of the Army bases, "those traitors! They will pay!" he angrily growled as he crumpled papers on his desk.

    At 4:25 PM, the Security Protection Group told President Malik and his family that it wouldn't be safe for them to remain in the palace as reports ensued that a massive group of protesters continued marching down the streets leading toward Rashtrapati Bhavan. "Mr. President. We need to take you and your family somewhere safe right now" as one of the SPG agents noticed the Presidential Guards mysteriously leaving the palace grounds and realized something was wrong, really wrong.....

    As Malik and his family packed up their personal belongings and effects, one of the palace maids was worried about the loud protests converging onto the grounds of Rashtrapati Bhavan (more on her later in the timeline).

    • Chapter 4: Twists and turns of the Revolution in India
    • The Fallout
    4:56 PM IST, Wednesday, January 14, 1998
    Outskirts of New Delhi, India
    ​
    The cries of the people and the demands for democracy and freedom were still ringing loudly across the streets of New Delhi and other major cities across India. Various political parties across the political spectrum put aside their differences in order to unite behind common goals; marching in protests against the vicious cruelties of the regime of controversial Indian President Ved Prakaish Malik.

    This was the Indian Revolution or as some intelligence analysts called it: "The 01.14-17.98 Incident." over the course of four days.

    Few expected that India, who once was the obvious target of influence and diplomatic lobbying ranging from Beijing, Moscow, Havana, London, Paris, Washington DC including the CIA, MI-6, etc., would all see the Military Junta of India which came to power in a violent coup d'etat in December 1984 would end up flopping so badly due to corruption, incompetence and horrible political blunders. Based on the human rights campaign in the diplomatic approach from US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who was determined to put an end to the ugly stigma that engulfed the United States' image abroad following the violent, bloody bloodbath in Panama during the Holton administration during the Fall of 1979.

    Back in Washington, DC., Albright was bothered about the credibility and image of the United States was being considered a laughingstock due to previous administrations supporting the Military Junta of India ranging from George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Mark White. During a closed door Cabinet meeting at the White House, Albright implored on President White to take a strong stand against the violent heinous human rights violations committed by the military government. Annoyed with Albright's nagging, White snapped at her saying "Madeleine. You're making everyone else in the room uncomfortable. Would you please give real credible information or else, sit down and shut the fuck up!"

    White hosted British Prime Minister Tony Blair and French President Jacques Chirac on the situation in India at Camp David. It's unknown what they discussed because it was a restricted private meeting between world leaders of three countries with nuclear weapons.

    In the meantime back in India, Indian Army Second Lieutenant Gregorio Bhupatdi who was assigned to the protection detail of the President of India and his family, was inside his office at the winter presidential residence when he listened to the radio which reported three Army battalions defected and pledged loyalty with the opposition which was gaining momentum. "Holy SHIT! This is gonna be a long week" Bhuptadi groaned as he crumpled some written notes on his desk.
