(Melchizedek Communique, MC051711) On February 13, 1861, the
electoral vote was to be counted in the City of Washington. But
the "fire eaters" (rabid secessionists) hoped to sabotage the
counting of the electoral votes. Abraham Lincoln himself had
written to William Seward, "It seems to me the inauguration is
not the most dangerous point for us. Our adversaries have us
more clearly at disadvantage, on the second Wednesday of
February, when the votes should be officially counted." There
was a credible threat that armed bands of "fire eaters" would
disrupt the vote count, take over the capital, and gain
possession of the national archives.  "Chedorlaomer and the
Kings" once again threatened Abraham; this time it was "fire
eaters" attempting a coup d'etat against Abraham Lincoln. On
February 13, 1861, the day of the electoral count, Lincoln had
just narrowly escaped a time bomb set to explode on the Lincoln
Train of Death. (Background: "Corsican Assassin Waited for Abe",
