McCullen Proposes Colony in Hawaii

April 28th, 1952

Denver-President McCullen has announced a new executive initiative that some ''reporters have dubbed "Operation Aloha." McCullen has ordered that 150,000 selected'' citizens be transported to the Hawaiian islands where they will continue to live indefinitely.

The citizens who will form the colony will be selected by a committee appointed by ''McCullen. All Americans are welcome to apply. Selection be based on several factors,'' including engineering, scientific medical, and agricultural knowledge, as well as ''genetic diversity. Naval ships will begin transporting selected citizens on July 1st.''

McCullen stated that the goal of this colony is to preserve the American culture, history and way of life should an unthinkable fate befall the continental U.S. A perimeter of battleships will remain around the islands to protect against Chimeran air-strikes. Critics were quick to point out, however, that the more likely purpose of those battleships is to turn away refugee vessels from other parts of the world and, likely, even from America itself.
