It all started with a dream that was too vivid to be
an ordinary nightmare. I was talking to an entity that claimed to be from the near future. Exactly when was not answered. But his visit came like the ghost in Dickens’s Christmas Carol. The entity claimed to be a person who represented one of the billions that were murdered by a new dictator that was far worse than Adolf Hitler. This would be the first of a series of dreams that I would see. I was to write these down each morning after I wake up.
I decided to record of these dreams and publish
them on the internet as short stories. Since they would be perceived as fantasy or science fiction I would not get myself in trouble because no one would believe it will ever happen like “in my dreams”.
The War.
It started with the Iranian conspiracy. The new
dictator of Iran which had secretly developed an atom bomb now reacted to the world’s displeasure by threatening the neighboring Moslem states if the did not ally with him against Israel they would be attacked and bombed. Most did, including Libya, Sudan, and that included the formally Soviet states that were mostly Moslem. Then a propaganda war started. The exceptions were Saudi Arabia and its neighboring states, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. Israel was supported by the US, NATO, China, and I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 1/7 5/19/2010 dreamone.html
Russia (a new NATO member).
Then a reactor in Iran, (one that was used to make
the materials for the bomb) blew up. Radiation and the meltdown killed thousands. Israel and the US were blamed. Iran and its allies claimed US stealth technology and bunker buster bombs were given to Israel and they used it to bomb the reactor. Israel claimed that it was just the accident caused by design flaws similar to the Chernobyl disaster. Or, that Iran destroyed it so the war they had been planning would start.
Israel mobilized and its allies also prepared. But
every one thought this would be just another of the series of middle east wars like 1967, or 1973. Until Jerusalem was bombed and the Temple of the rock was flattened. Now it was a Holy War. The Moslem armies started moving and got to a valley in Israel; then the atom bombs went off. The Moslem armies and the lands where the came from were devastated. Israel was again victorious. But the radiation spread across the world causing more wars, disease, hunger, fear, riots, and death so that billions died and others just vanished.
The Leader.
To quell this worldwide disaster a leader emerged
out of Europe. He promised peace and law, order, and prosperity. His program was to rule the earth as a dictator with all nations being subject to him. This way all these wars and the rebellions would cease. With starvation facing many because of contaminated crops and the economic collapse caused by the war and subsequent disasters there I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 2/7 5/19/2010 dreamone.html
was little opposition.
Once in power, he made a treaty with Israel, giving it control of the countries that attacked them, so they could clean up the mess. Also they were given the right to build their temple after they removed the remains of the Dome of the Rock. His next plan was to reorganize the nations into ten conglomerated groups based on geography. All abandoned property was confiscated and sold to new owners. This would help pay for the reconstruction of the damage caused by the wars, riots, and the people who disappeared. What caused this disappearance was put off as nuclear incineration, alien abductions, alien rescues of humans before mankind destroyed itself, or something else such as orbiting laser weapons, or new secret weapons that incinerated people leaving no trace. The next thing on his agenda was the destruction of all religious systems. Since it was these religions that caused that horrible war, they should all be suppressed and replaced with a common belief. This new religion was created and spread by priests, it was based on peace, love and charity, but also seemed to smell of hero worship for the new leader. There was a period of relative prosperity for some, and enough food to survive. Improved technology that used the internet and vastly improved mobile data terminals was deployed. International banking reform was enacted and electronic money transfers were made simpler. This technology was spread through the entire world and was used to replace paper money and a world wide electronic currency was setup as the standard. Everybody from all countries would use this currency instead of I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 3/7 5/19/2010 dreamone.html
whatever they used before.
Unrest.
There were so many criminals that used the chaos
of the war and the food shortages to make a fast buck. The new banking system was a bonanza for the hackers, virus makers, phishing scammers, ID thieves, and credit / debit card forgers etc. So a new Identification system that could not be stolen, forged, hacked, or tampered with was needed.
Many religious groups were not pleased with the
suppression of their organizations and the confiscation of their group’s property. They demonstrated but were met with severe reprisals and their legal maneuvers were tied up the courts. Only some Christians seemed to have an impact on many of the common people. New preachers seemed to pop up everywhere and then vanish when the police came to arrest them. The internet was full of opposition to the new leader, so an electronic warfare system of snooping, blocking, and filtering replaced the free exchange of ideas with propaganda, like what happened in China and Iran years before.
The religious system from the new leader was not
tolerant to competition or patient with unbelievers. The priests of this new religion could perform miracles and a powerful high priest rose up that could do wonderful things. The first thing the new high priest did was to plunder the remnant of the Catholic Church and destroy Rome. Then he proclaimed the leader a god. The leader was hurt by an assassin but he I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 4/7 5/19/2010 dreamone.html
recovered he lost the use of an eye and an arm.
Since he recovered from the deadly attack he was declared resurrected like Jesus. Now everyone should worship him as a god.
Technology.
Then a new technology was perfected, this was a
direct brain interface to the internet. The brain was mapped with a learning program, using series of sensory images and a scanning device that found where each brain processed each of the senses and memory, an implant could be programmed for each person, nanobots would be positioned at nerve groups in the brain and transmit to and receive from the implant. The implant would provide access to the internet; provide access to all media, including pornography, directly into the brain. This would replace cell phones, computers, television, movies, and libraries. The device could get you high without drugs, have sex without partners, and the media gave full sensatory results. You not only saw and heard as if you were there in full 3D high definition, you could feel, smell, and taste. (Remember the movie “Brainstorm”.) Also the implant would be used to identify each person to provide an identification that could not be tampered with. What we did not know was that many were being changed by this implant and the leader’s program was being beamed into our brains along with the media. Our attitude toward the new leader was changed into worship.
Ecology.
I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 5/7

There was disaster after disaster. The bombs also
caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions. Radiation and dust spread worldwide. Many animals died, the crops were contaminated, and dust in the atmosphere caused climate changes. Later an asteroid broke up part fell into the sea, part fell on land. The area around the impacts were devastated, the water supply was polluted and undrinkable. The ocean was devastated and many animals died. An algae bloom made the sea look like blood. The atmosphere was so polluted, there was so much dust that the sun was dimmed during the day and the moon was red at night. The climate changes caused extreme storms everywhere. The predictions of global warming seemed tame compared with this mess.
Forced marking.
The combination of religious unrest, criminal
activity, the new mind altering implant, the revised economics with electronic currency, and worship of the leader now lead to the forced implanting of everyone, they had to have the implant or else. The or else was economic isolation, starvation, poverty, being shunned, and being rounded up and forced to get the implant. People lined up at the implant centers and most enjoyed the pleasures from the media provided thru the implants. To show that an implant was installed a special tattoo was put on either the hand or forehead.
Those who refused had no way to buy food, have a
job, pay bills, or have access to bank funds. Most unmarked went underground or fled to the wilderness. Friends and family would rat them out I:/tripod web backup/dreamone.html 6/7 5/19/2010 dreamone.html
for a bounty. Many were rounded up, and then had
a choice of the implant or be locked up in a concentration camp.
Sacrifice.
The ecological disasters, widespread crop failures,
the contamination and death of food animals, and unrest caused the cost of food to reach new record highs. To create food and get rid of all these criminals and unbelievers, cannibalism was legalized, but to be done covertly. Why waste all that meat. But the public would not know that they were eating each other. The concentration camps became slaughter house killing plants instead of using gas chambers and crematoriums. The unmarked were shown the packing plant, knowing they would be next. They had to be implanted or they would end up as meat. Many would rather die than take the implant, but to be eaten or cooked alive and then eaten changed many minds. They were warned to keep quiet as they were implanted; else they would also end up on the menu.
