everything from the point of view of the same person’s life. I was again watching the world from news reports and internet stories. I was sitting in Washington State, USA, but also in the new North American Trade Federation. This federation included all of North America down to Panama, as well as the Caribbean Islands. It was a loose federation, with the government in Washington D.C. A new “King” was crowned and the president of the US reported to him, along with the PM of Canada, etc.
The unrest started with the religious, they
resented being forced to accept the new religion that they said was just a “pack of lies”. Regular protests and rallies were suppressed violently and leaders were portrayed as terrorists. The courts were jammed with lawsuits about property rights, and religious freedom, but it no longer existed. Leaders and demonstrators were tried and sent of to concentration camps to be “reeducated”. The crackdown on crime and the electronic snooping of the new secret police caused free people fear saying anything bad about the new leader. Freedom of speech vanished like in the old Nazi and Communist regimes. The media was controlled and protests on the internet were squelched by electronic warfare techniques: blocking websites; tapping into email, messaging, and social networks; removing internet I:/tripod web backup/dreamfive.htm 1/4 5/20/2010 dreamfive.htm
privileges, and identifying and rounding up
complainers. Free exchange of ideas on the internet could cause a person to disappear. Electronic surveillance and tracking peoples’ movements with GPS kept tabs on everybody. And since this was world wide the only places to flee to were primitive areas that had not implemented the latest equipment. If you could get there without being stopped, you were lucky. The old movie “1984” was a vision of these times.
There was a bunch of Christians, who believed the
Bible, spreading their beliefs under the radar. Evangelists seemed to appear, say their message, and then disappear before the police arrived. The believers held meetings in homes and were secretive about who was there. Miracles, healings, and powerful love messages were rumored. It was like the stories of Christians in Communist Russia or China during the Cold War. When one of these meetings was discovered the media called these people terrorists and they were never seen again. But there were thousands of these evangelists spreading this Christianity everywhere and the leader, kings, and local police seemed totally inept at stopping them.
A new high priest was appointed to turn the
dissident unbelievers to the new faith. This man could do spectacular miracles and the media showed this to everybody. He told everyone to worship the leader as a god. Some did. The new high priest plundered the remnants of the Catholic Church. The Vatican was spoiled and the loot taken to the new churchs. Then the Vatican and the entire city of Rome were burned. There I:/tripod web backup/dreamfive.htm 2/4 5/20/2010 dreamfive.htm
was a new Nero in power.
The new religion was not tolerant with those who made fun of it. A robot statue of the leader was put in his temple and it seemed alive. The things that they could do with robotics were spectacular. It only fooled the ignorant.
There was an assassin who tried to bomb the
leader. The leader was seriously hurt and some said he died. But he rallied. He lost an eye and the use of one of his arms, but he seemed back and ready to kill everyone who conspired in this plot. He looked like fearless leader from the Bowinkle and Rocky cartoons of the sixties, but he was as ferocious as Adolf Hitler was after he was bombed. The high priest proclaimed this a miracle and that the leader had resurrected like Jesus Christ. This proved that the leader was divine.
This worship of the leader and persecution of
unbelievers was world wide. The smart people saw the stupidity but kept their mouths shut. Many ignorant people believed and joined mobs that beat up anyone who said anything bad about the new religion. It was like Moslem countries persecuting Christians before the war. A rumor could get you killed.
I felt like I was in a new Communist world that
wanted me to do what it wanted and believe that pack of lies about the leader being a god. I wished that I had died during the war. The troubles of the dead were over, I thought.
I was glad to wake up. This dream was getting
personal and I was scared. I wrote down what I I:/tripod web backup/dreamfive.htm 3/4 5/20/2010 dreamfive.htm
