Leaving the funeral site, Dias took a car back to the Department of Homeland Security on Nebraska Avenue. The hypocritical condolences and hollow speeches at the funeral made him uneasy.
Concealing the "excess deaths" was simply not something a senior intelligence analyst like him could decide.
This was an order from the White House, from that president who spends all day ranting on social media.
The president is currently busy fostering his personal cult of personality, with applause constantly filling the congressional reports, and the White House website daily announcing "victory" news. Even the smallest things are inflated into "historic achievements" by him.
In this environment, who dares to be a "whistleblower"? Who dares to question the government's decisions? Anyone who dares to do so would probably find themselves in Heaven with the Ministry of Efficiency's Thomas.
