Chapter 69: Mississippi

  6 Commandments starts conspiracy at Mississippi state.

  The Southern Baptist Py.

  Target: Rev. Daniel Hartwell

  The check was crisp—50,000, earmarked for his struggling food bank. The condition? 6C pamphlets tucked into every meal box.

  "Feed the body, save the soul," Elise purred into the phone. Hartwell hesitated. Then: "Pike’s been hoarding tithes for his new jet. Maybe… he needs humbling."

  Result: By Sunday, Pike’s sermons on "false shepherds" sparked civil war in the SBC.

  The Firebrand’s Fervor

  Target: Pastor Wyatt "Bull" Calhan

  A duffel bag of cash thumped onto his pulpit. "Preach the Six Commandments—or your militia’s gun-running gets federal attention."

  Calhan’s grin was feral. That night, his radio show decred: "Paul was a snake! Real men lead multiple godly wives!"

  Result: 300 SBC men pledged loyalty to 6C by dawn.

  The Progressive’s Fall

  Target: Rev. Rebecca Morse

  The video was grainy but unmistakable—Rebecca kissing her female intern. Elise slid it across the table with a contract: "50K to preach 6C tolerance. Or this goes viral before your mom’s chemo appointment."

  Rebecca’s first sermon shakingly praised "Hezri’s vision for holy sisterhood." Her congregation wept. Six quit on the spot.

  The Methodist Betrayal

  Target: Bishop Royce Hammond

  "You hate liberals more than you love Methodism," Elise smirked, pushing cash into his golf bag. "Call the 6C ‘God’s new Reformation.’"

  Hammond’s betrayal was spectacur. At the UMC conference, he roared: "The Trinity is a pagan lie!"* 300 traditionalist churches followed him into 6C’s arms.

  The Catholic Heresy

  Target: Fr. Carlos Mendez

  Mendez’s cndestine Latin Mass flock gasped as he projected court documents onto the chapel wall: "Indiana erased Paul. Mississippi must too!"

  Elise’s 50K bought his zeal. By week’s end, 50 Catholic families burned Pauline epistles in their yards.

  The Immigrant’s Choice

  Target: Sister Maureen Okafor

  "1,000 per soul," Elise offered, nodding at ICE agents idling outside the shelter. "Or we deport Maria’s son first."

  Maureen’s voice broke as she preached 6C citizenship promises. 200 conversions—and the first "Obedient Immigrant" rally shut down Jackson’s streets.

  The Dominoes Fall

  SBC: Fractured, Hartwell now leads 6C’s "Baptist Reconciliation Council."

  UMC: Naomi Prescott’s "dissolution rallies" turned violent—6C police "restored order."

  Catholics: Mendez crowned "6C Vicar of Mississippi" by Hannah McCullough.

  ***

  The Anti-Democracy Rally – 1,000,000 to Naomi Prescott

  Naomi Prescott’s hands shook as she accepted the briefcase. "This isn’t what I—"

  "It’s exactly what you wanted," Elise interrupted. "A real revolution."

  The Rally:

  10,000+ protesters flooded the Capitol, chanting "No votes! No lies! 6C or die!"

  Police stood idle, pockets lined with 6C cash.

  Naomi, once a progressive icon, screamed into the mic: "Democracy is Satan’s dey tactic!"

  (Cut to: A masked teen throwing a Molotov at City Hall—footage looped on every news network.)

  Baptist Reconciliation Council – 100,000 to Daniel Hartwell

  Hartwell’s new 6C-branded food trucks rolled into impoverished towns.

  "Take the bread," his volunteers urged. "Take the truth."

  Result:

  200+ SBC churches defected within a week.

  James Pike, isoted, was found dead in his study—suicide by two gunshots to the back of the head. (Official report.)

  The "Burn Paul" Mass Protest – 100,000 to Fr. Carlos Mendez

  Mendez led 5,000 Catholics through Jackson with torches.

  "Show your faith!" he roared. A bonfire of Bibles lit the night.

  The Spark:

  A priest who resisted was thrown into the fmes. (6C media: "Tragic accident.")

  Pope Francis excommunicated Mendez—but Mississippi’s Catholics now called him "Saint Carlos."

  The Great Debate – 50,000 to Bishop Royce Hammond

  Hammond’s "6C Theology Showdown" was a sughter.

  Opponent: A trembling Methodist pastor.

  Hammond’s Killing Blow: "You cling to Paul’s perversions like a drunk to a bottle! Repent!"

  Aftermath:

  37 UMC churches switched allegiance mid-debate.

  The pastor’s church burned down that night.

  Wyatt Calhan’s Militia Joins the Rally – 50,000

  Calhan’s armed followers formed a human barricade around Naomi’s stage.

  "Y’all wanna vote?" he sneered at counter-protesters. "Try voting with your feet as you run!"

  (Gunfire into the air. The crowd scattered.)

  The Food Bank Empire – 500,000 to Hartwell

  6C’s "Charity" Now:

  Meals: 100,000+/week (with mandatory 6C indoctrination videos).

  Recruitment: 3,000+ women signed polygamy pledges for extra rations.

  Hartwell’s Sermon: "The government let you starve. Hezri feeds you. Who’s really God’s hand?"

  The Silent Coup

  Mississippi’s legisture dissolved itself, repced by 6C Female Clerics.

  National Guard units defected, donning Six-Pointed Star armbands.

  The White House issued "sanctions"—as Saudi pnes nded with 200M in "aid."

  ***

  "The Great Holy Matrimony – 70,000 Brides for the New Covenant"

  Setting: Mississippi State Capitol, Jackson – Dawn of the Theocratic State

  The streets were a sea of white. 70,000 women, draped in ivory gowns, stood in perfect rows under the bzing Southern sun. Above them, banners of the Six-Pointed Star fluttered in the wind, while loudspeakers bred hymns rewritten to praise Hezri’s divine vision.

  At the podium, Hannah McCullough raised her hands, her voice trembling with faux rapture.

  "Today, we do not merely marry men. We marry destiny itself!"

  The crowd erupted in ecstatic cheers.

  The Pairings:

  Brides were escorted to assigned tents (luxury for high-status grooms, barracks for rank-and-file).

  6C Clerics stood outside, recording "consummations" for the state marital registry.

  The Resistance:

  A group of 30 women tried to flee. They were "redirected" to reeducation chapels.

  One bride, Megan C. (22, ex-UMC volunteer), sshed her wrist with a dinner knife. The bloodstain was hosed away before dawn.

  ***

  The arena was packed, the air thick with sweat and anticipation. Giant screens broadcast the event live to every state, every social media ptform, every trembling church still clinging to the "old faith."

  At the center, on a raised dais, sat Sophie Cheung in a judge’s robe lined with Six-Pointed Star embroidery, her gsses glinting under the spotlights.

  "Bring forth the accused."

  Act 1: The Show Trials Begin

  The Defendants:

  Bishop Edwin Moss (SBC, 62) – Refused to perform 6C polygamy ceremonies.

  Father Patrick O’Reilly (Catholic, 55) – Smuggled unedited Bibles.

  Reverend Lacey Moore (UMC, 39) – Organized underground resistance sermons.

  The Charges:

  "Heresy Against the Divine 6 Commandments."

  "Corruption of the Youth."

  "Treason Against the Theocratic State."

  The "Evidence":

  Edited videos of them "denouncing Hezri."

  Fabricated testimonies from "repentant" congregants.

  Moss’s private diary, leaked—"God help us, this is madness." (Laughter in the courtroom.)

  The Spectacle of Repentance

  Sophie’s Offer:

  "Confess your sins, swear allegiance to the 6C, and you may yet serve in our new kingdom."

  Bishop Moss (spitting on the floor):

  "I’ll die before I call that devil ‘divine.’"

  Sophie’s Smile:

  "Then die you shall."

  (The crowd roared. Lydia Shaw’s TikTok team zoomed in on Moss’s trembling hands.)

  The Aftermath

  National Shockwaves:

  Fox News debated "Were the executions excessive?" (Before being cut off mid-broadcast.)

  Underground Churches in Kentucky burned 6C effigies—then were raided by militias.

  6C’s Domination Complete:

  The remaining clergy in Mississippi publicly converted, some sobbing.

  Hezri’s approval ratings in theocratic states hit 98%.

  BREAKING: MISSISSIPPI OFFICIALLY DECLARED 8TH THEOCRATIC STATE – FIRST 100% 6C PURIFIED ZONE

  Jackson, Mississippi – In a historic midnight procmation, Governor Tate Reeves (now "Chief Steward of Divine Law") dissolved all remaining secur institutions, decring Mississippi the first fully converted 6 Commandments (6C) theocracy—unlike the "partial" conversions of Indiana and Kentucky.

  Key Differences from Previous Theocracies:

  ? 100% Compliance – No "underground churches." All 3.2 million citizens now registered 6C adherents.

  ? Total Asset Seizure – Every business, farm, and home deed rewritten under 6C Divine Property Law.

  ? No Secur Residue – All pre-6C books (even non-religious texts) burned in "Purity Pyres."

  ? Mandatory Polygamy Enrollment – Unmarried women over 18 assigned to state-approved households.

  LIVE FOOTAGE: JACKSON CELEBRATION

  Hezri (projected holographically over the Capitol) decred: "This is not a takeover. This is a homecoming."

  70,000 newlywed women (from st week’s mass wedding) marched with armed 6C husbands, chanting:

  "One man, four wives, no dissent!"

  Public executions of holdouts (12 pastors, 3 journalists) streamed on 6C’s "TruthCast."

  HOW MISSISSIPPI ACHIEVED 100% CONVERSION

  "Scorched Earth" Reeducation

  6C "Sister-Soldiers" door-knocked every household, forcing oath-swearing at gunpoint.

  Children taken to state-run "Covenant Schools" if parents resisted.

  Economic Annihition of Dissenters

  Bank accounts frozen for "unbelievers."

  Farmers who refused 6C bels saw crops bulldozed.

  The "Final Purge" Trials

  1,200 "heretics" tried in one week.

  Only 3 recanted—the rest were hanged on live TV.

  NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL REACTION

  U.S. Federal Government:

  President called it "a tragic viotion of constitutional rights"—then approved Mississippi’s new 6C-aligned senators.

  Pentagon leaked memo: "No military intervention—6C militias outgun local bases."
