Founding of Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents; the escutcheon, "the squeak," and the stated war-aims
pivotal · ~YW (2002), Reconfiguration onward
- When: ~the subsidized Year of the Whopper (2002) and after — the A.F.R. as anti-O.N.A.N. cell grows out of the Root Cult around Reconfiguration; its grievance keys to the Year of the Whopper's forcing of "ecologically distorted and possibly mutagenic territory" into Canada's aegis
- What: Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents — a.k.a. the Wheelchair Assassins, "pretty much Québec's most dreaded and rapacious anti-O.N.A.N. terrorist cell" (n039) — take their sobriquet from assassinating prominent Canadians who tolerate what they call Québec and Canada's "Sudetenlandization" by O.N.A.N. Their tradecraft: strike only at night, materializing "as if from nowhere," leaving twin sinuous wheel-tracks; their escutcheon is a double S-shaped line across the fleur-de-lis. "To hear the squeak" becomes officialdom's euphemism for A.F.R. assassination. Their stated aims are maximal — "the total return of all Reconfigured territories to American administration," cessation of all E.W.D./ATHSCME waste- and air-displacement within 175 km of Canada, removal of all fission/waste/fusion annulars north of the 42°-N. Parallel, and "the secession of Canada in toto from the Organization of North American Nations" — distinguishing them from conventional Separatists who want only Québec's independence. n304 stamps the assassination campaign's peak "in the violent and bloody autumn of the Year of the Trial-Size Dove Bar."
