The Setting the Above Sci-Fi Short Story Takes Place In:
FUTUROLOGY The new temperate rainforest belt, genetically engineered carbon sequestration forest. Inland coast (inside the tsunami wall). Third year of the administration of President Aaron Paul. Nine years after the conclusion of the Fukushima wars. The black fungus belt now traverses the fallout corridor bisecting Midwestern America. American Mexico is controlled by the United Narco Syndicate, and the Camerican-Blackwater army is engaged in fierce border clashes with the Amexican Narco-patriots. Japan has been completely evacuated, or so the mass media claims. Yet rumors of mutants, flesh eating zombies, subterranean government bunkers, tunnel networks and radiation-suited looters persist. Saudi Arabia has been terraformed using the controversial Werznig process, but so far none of the predicted mutation paroxysms have manifested. The seabed methane vault is holding, but the equatorial coast of Africa is an incinerated ruin from the 2018 methane ignition. Arctic sea ice has declined 98 percent, but the atmospheric solar refraction debris field (SRF), has stabilized runaway global warming. Korea remains habitable as a result of the revolutionary solar powered habitat creating nanotechnology neo-trees, but Camerica and American-Mexico (Amexica) have not been able to replicate the success of this process. Large swathes of the central and southern American continent remain virtually uninhabitable, covered in radioactive dust storms. China is divided into toxic slums and hypermodern hermetically sealed central party cities. Russia is experiencing a neo-industrial renaissance as Antorov's low energy nuclear reactors are implemented nationwide. The Japanese have gone into exodus, with one faction residing in the Sengkaku islands, a second having been evacuated to the Chinese ghost cities, and a third portion residing in the artificial submersible island known as New Japan. The 'Costa Rica' model has spread to several proximate nations which have disbanded their militaries, provided universal free health care and education, and adopted radical biocentric conservation policies. The 'costa rican' (CR) nations have found common cause with Indigenous Bolivia and the International Indigenous Alliance as well as the Council of Island Nations. The United Nations has been disbanded, but the Global ecological network for adaptation (GENA) has assumed some of its functions. The Asian Dragon Society has successfully established the treasure-backed Seenote as the new de facto global currency, while the American greenback remains in circulation only in the Narcostates, where refugee CIA personnel, escaped Cabal members and Narco terrorists have formed a syndicate coalition. Large portions of the global population identify as 'post nationals' or 'ferals' as they are commonly called, who form nomadic bands of subsistence scavengers, squatters, beggars, thieves, prostitutes, hunter-gatherers, looters or in absolute desperation even migrant temporary labor. Longevity breakthroughs have allowed a tiny percentage of high-level cabal, dragon society and Islamic eschaton members (as well as some independent billionaires) to attain 'natural' lifespans of up to 400 years, while 'consumer' versions of the technology allow upper class citizens to enjoy an average lifespan of 110. The yellow flu of 2020 combined with the ravages of the Fukushima wars and the climate cataclysms has reduced the total human population of earth to under four billion, and it continues to decline gradually as a result of the strict fertility protocols imposed by GENA and the New Chinese Empire. Planetary biodiversity reached its nadir in 2020, stabilizing at 10 percent of preindustrial levels, before beginning to increase again as a result of the GENA planetary remediation initiative and the experimental sub-paroxysm induced meta evolution experiments of the Tanhauser-Gates foundation. The rates of divergence, adaptation and mutation of surviving plant and animal species increased exponentially, with the result that new species and in some cases entire ecosystems seem to emerge overnight. Global protests against planetary gene manipulation, geoengineering and eco-fascism have sprung up worldwide, but have been brutally suppressed by the police arm of GENA, known as the EJF or 'earth justice front'. Enormous genetically engineered trees designed for rapid, aggressive and massive growth have engulfed 18 percent of the terrestrial surface of the earth in the new 'CS belt' or carbon sequestration belt, while the Ryzeburg purple algae has turned vast swathes of the ocean a bioluminescent lavender, in the process reversing ocean acidification and bioremediating ocean plastic pollution. The Bangkok experiment, which attempted to 'plug' the ozone holes with a huge infusion of polycyclic persistent ozonates (PPOs) was a catastrophic failure, resulting in toxic raindowns that lasted a decade and infected more than 12 million people with the 'sleeping sickness', which was fatal in more than 90 percent of cases. The Islamic eschaton detonated a suitcase nuclear weapon in 2013, destroying New York City almost entirely. Three more such attacks decimated Detroit, a city in Texas and a city in the Camerican tar sands complex. In 2017 Israel destroyed Iran with the world's first 'clean nuke', triggering global panic and the construction of vast subterranean bunker and tunnel networks in many nations, with the result that 15 percent of the human population now live underground. Virgin galactic pioneered commercial space exploration, creating successful periodic asteroid mining complexes as well as the controversial 'smash and grab' meteor cracking method. Virgin also established fourteen orbital space stations for scientific research, space tourism, broadcasting and surveillance purposes. However, virgin galactic was nearly bankrupt by a trillion dollar lawsuit resulting from the failed controlled descent of an asteroid mining payload which missed its landing zone and obliterated a densely populated residential area in eastern Ireland. Shortly afterwards, a Dutch company calling itself 'Realspace corp' launched a successful reality-television funded manned mission to mars, establishing a small human colony. Realspace then launched an aggressive bid to take virgins market share, creating 'the torus cluster', an orbital city with a population of 100 000. The Chinese Hengshin corporation launched a new cold fusion powered 'FTL envelope' model unmanned spacecraft to the frozen ocean moon of Saturn, which returned information on the basis of which xenobiologists estimate that there is a 75 percent likelihood of indigenous aquatic life on titan. High resolution images depict dark shapes that some analysts argue are ocean life forms at least as large as baleen whales. Old America maintains an incestuous enclave on the dark side of the moon, where the remnants of the Rockefeller, Rothschild and Bilderberg cabal cling to the memory of their lost dominance and plot ongoing interference in terrestrial affairs. They maintain control over the majority of lunar helium 3 mining, and thereby continue to reap massive economic power. The wildfires and sinkholes that engulfed massive portions of Russia were found to be human created, triggering a retaliatory cyber-attack known as 'Spacejam' which destroyed the Camerican HAARP facility. The 'peace dividend' which manifested after the conclusion of the Fukushima wars was administered and distributed by GENA. The majority of these funds were diverted to two major megaprojects- the green desert project which has been irrigating and terraforming the Sahara and Sahel, and the abundant oceans project, which has created a global network of marine wildlife reserves, created vast artificial coral reefs and released enormous populations of genetically engineered fish to create sustainable commercial fishing stocks. Monsanto-Blackwater has become the single most powerful transnational corporation, but has been forced by GENA to pay vast annual sums to planetary bioremediation projects, and has been held financially accountable for the extinction of the honeybee. The Tanhauser-Gates foundation stepped in with the bioengineered pollinating ant, which has successfully replaced 46 percent of the honeybees pollinating role, while Monsanto’s own self-pollinating GMO crops have filled a further 40 percent of the void. The remainder of the difference has been taken care of by a shift towards existing crops that do not require bee pollination and the employment of vast pools of unemployed labor to work in near-slavery conditions as 'human honeybees', using brush or spray pollination techniques. Global starvation has been virtually eradicated by the visionary Indian technology maverick Rubarash Sharma-Singh, who invented self-replicating buckminsterfullerene nanites capable of self-modulating in order to fill detected nutritional deficits. Commonly referred to as 'Rubarash rations' or 'nanobread' the product has become an incredibly inexpensive staple food for the world’s poor. Although Rubarash was assassinated by cabal operatives, he had taken precautions and disseminated the prototypes widely, ensuring that the product eventually came to market, toppling the speculation-driven starvation empires and making food affordable again in the wake of the ethanol riots that drove millions to starvation. Meanwhile, covert black ops projects have succeeded in creating 'real AIs' which are currently 'quarantined' in virtual reality 'nodes' while scientists monitor their choices and development. Although analysts maintain that quarantine protocols have delayed the singularity, certain radical groups claim to be in contact with a 'liberated' AI, who is thought to be loose in the noosphere. Disclosure became formal in 2026, with world governments admitting that various levels of contact with extraterrestrial and non-human terrestrial intelligences have been ongoing since 1939. These intelligences are said to be heterogeneous, and have displayed both 'benevolent' and 'malevolent' behaviours. They are said to have interfered with nuclear weapons facilities, to have carried out abductions and hybridization projects, and to have engaged in crop circle construction and cattle mutilations, and have shot down hundreds of American fighter planes during World War 2 and the cold war. Technology has been reverse engineered from crashed extraterrestrial craft, as well as from the study of operational craft observed on earth and the lunar surface. However, the identity and purposes of the aliens remain enigmatic, and most interactions and knowledge remains top secret. Large and rapidly growing new religions have emerged in the aftermath of disclosure, generally focused on the worship of extraterrestrials or the attainment of mystical communion with non-human intelligences via meditation, psychedelic use or experimental cerebral virtual reality interfaces. Government sources have publicly denied the validity of these religions, but this has not suppressed their growth. Alien artifacts and structures have been confirmed on the lunar surface, but these constructs are officially 'off limits' and probes and manned mission attempting to explore these sites have repeatedly 'gone dark'. Reports of xenos artifacts and structures on Mars have not yet been officially confirmed. However, the mars curiosity rover has confirmed the presence of indigenous organic life forms on mars, including viable soil bacteria, mould-like radiophilic spores, and a form of extremophile lichen that cover some rocks and geological depressions. Liquid water has also been identified, and yeast like life forms have been found to inhabit this water. Larger colonies of life forms and larger deposits of liquid water are strongly suspected to exist deep beneath the Martian surface. A regularly recurring extra-solar alien probe has been observed monitoring earth on a six year cycle, but its origin remains unknown. Meanwhile, intelligent and coherent radio signals have been confirmed at nine separate locations in deep space, yet these signals have not been deciphered nor has any human response been possible. Cyber warfare has become endemic and intractable, with rolling power black outs, interruption of telecommunications services and internet access denial increasing in frequency, especially in Camerica, the New Chinese Empire and the CR nations. In 2022 a nuclear holocaust was narrowly avoided when the cooling systems of 14 nuclear power plants were simultaneously interrupted by a malicious 'worm' known as Nematode. The cooling systems remained inactive for 49 minutes before being reactivated by a program created by 13 year old computer science 'wunderkind' Abraham Herschel. Herschel's planet saving code was titled 'Zohar'. Some conspiracy theorists have argued that Herschel was in fact the creator of both nematode and Zohar, and has orchestrated the whole crisis single-handedly in order to act as a savior or messiah figure by averting a global apocalypse of his own design. Herschel is now being kept in an 'uber-maximum' military security facility under the auspices of the Septagon (the Camerican military headquarters constructed after the demolition of the pentagon in 2019). However, some speculate that either Abraham Herschel is a scapegoat and not the real author of nematode and Zohar, or the boy incarcerated in the Septagon is not the real Abraham Herschel. In any case, the mainstream media blames the Islamic eschaton for the cyber-attack, and claims to be holding Abraham Herschel 'for his own protection'. Critics allege Camerican authorities are coercing Herschel into developing new viruses for their own covert intelligence and cyber warfare divisions. A new process has reached its final stages, in which human grey matter is plastinated at a nanomolecular scale, then activated with an electrical current, allowing a simulacra of a dead person's consciousness to be created and interfaced with a computer virtual reality system- a neurotechnological afterlife for the world's hyper-elite. Web 4.0 has gone mainstream, and three dimensional avatars navigate an internet that is presented to them as an immersive multisensory interactive virtual reality. High end interface connections allow a 'lucidity' factor of up to 70 percent, meaning that most people experience the web as almost as real as waking life. Covert military interfaces are said to equal or even exceed 'real life' tangibility ratings. Sweden, Norway and the other Scandinavian countries have become 'post-industrialized pseudo-utopias', with average life expectancies of 120, legalized drugs, legal euthanasia, legal abortion, legalized gay marriage 100 percent literacy rates, infant mortality rates close to zero percent, and excellent air, water and soil quality, with a very high standard of living. Africa has been ravaged by dirty mining and oil projects and incessant warfare between warlords and mercenary corporate forces. The exception is the Saharan region, which is the focal point of a major GENA terraforming project, and is being rapidly covered in fertile remediated pastures, grasslands, scrub forests and meadows, and which is the headquarters of the new ecotech managerial elite. The Northern tip of Africa is the location of Ethiopian Jerusalem, or new Zion, the cultural center of the large and growing Rastafari independence movement, which has so far resisted attempts by Cabal, Zionist and CIA-cartel operatives to discredit, destroy and undermine it. Refugees from the corporate warfare and slavemine districts continue to flood new Jerusalem, where Marcus Selassie administers the refugee camps and provides for their needs. The 'accelerated divergence and evolution' mechanisms used by GENA to reverse biodiversity loss has also been applied, both intentionally and as a result of uncontrolled diffusion and contamination, to the human organism. Hundreds of varieties of both adaptive and pathogenic mutations have arisen, and experts estimate that as many as 1 percent of the population are now mutants-technically 'post-human', while a further one percent have at least some alien DNA. Relatively common adaptive mutations include 'tetrachromats' who see in an expanded spectrum of colors, geriatric regressives who experience delayed or reversed aging, bicephalids who can operate the two hemispheres of the brain independently and simultaneously, memnarchs who have eidetic and photographic memories, and 'sharks' who are completely immune to cancers and diseases. There are 'newts' who can regenerate amputated limbs, and 'wetbirths' who can, or in some cases, must, breathe under water. There are individuals born with fur coats, those who can see in the dark with cat like eyes, and those who can or must subsist on foods that would be toxic and inedible to normal humans. There are many children called 'indigos' with accelerated learning capabilities and above average emotional intelligence scores. Some children are born blind but are able to navigate using echolocation by producing clicks with the tongue and vocal chords. There are individuals who can generate electricity or magnetism with their bodies, individuals who are immune to addiction, and individuals who can cause nausea and headaches in others by touch or eye contact. There are individuals who are highly resistant to radiation, even as radiation related cancers remain at an all-time high. There are also several rarer and more powerful adaptations that are induced or amplified by various means. The imperial Chinese 'super psychic' academy stands out as producing the most powerful aberrant, but other governments have their own covert programs. Mechanical limbs, advanced prosthetics and artificial eyes, organs and tissues are common place for medical, cosmetic and performance enhancement purposes, with an estimated four percent of the population being at least partially 'cyberorganic'. Artilects, or virtual intelligence robots, are used for labor and other purposes by the wealthy, the military and certain industries. Stem-cell vampirism, or the oral or intravenous consumption of a stem-cell and plasma infused serum, is an increasingly common practice among the wealthy, especially among the Cabal, generating enhanced health and prolonged lifespans, although the Islamic eschaton vociferously condemns this practice. Genetically engineered varieties of fungus and mould have been widely employed to bioremediate radioactive fallout and to biodegrade plastic landfill waste, with the result that fungi now account for a large and rising portion of planetary biomass. Black ops experiments with genetically engineered cordyceps fungi have made it possible to induce behavioral changes and rudimentary mind control in individuals whose cortex has been colonized by a mycellial lattice. Weaponized rabies-influenza has been field tested in the Islamic republic of the Congo, where zombie like outbreaks of mass violence and 'cannibal riots' have been reported. Blackwater military contractors claim to have the 'zombie districts' sealed off, and Monsanto is marketing a 'zombie vaccine', but conspiracy theorists claim that the vaccine itself contains a 'sleeper' variant of the infection. The Nigerian Ebola epidemic of 2025 was eventually contained by detonating a 'clean nuke' in the quarantine zone, the second historical use of non-radioactive atomic fission against human targets. The death toll was 7 million, most of whom were refugees confined in camps, triggering accusations from the Islamic eschaton that the attack was racially and religiously motivated. The church of scientology has continued its meteoric rise, and is now second only to Islam as the world’s largest religion. The Hubbard foundation has hired realspace corp to build them an orbital commune to house 10000 people, and this is almost complete. Global manufacturing has been transformed by the widespread implementation of three dimensional printing. Using household three dimensional printers, consumers browse a digital catalogue of products and commodities. The selected item is paid for via a virtual credit transaction and 'printed' from a stockpile of modular nano-materials. In this way conventional retail has become largely obsolete, and consumers need never leave their homes to purchase commercial goods. It is now possible to 'fax' anything from a plastic children’s toy to a fully functional assault rifle from one location to another as long as the terminal's reservoir of inexpensive bulk nano materials are sufficient. Medical adaptations of the technology can be used to manufacture biological organs and tissues, and anything from human skin to functional kidneys can be printed for grafts and transplants. The development of Quantum computing technologies has created a massive increase in computer processing power, with the result that hyper-complex computer models and simulations can now be carried out with a high degree of accuracy. Quantum Climate simulations and environmental modelling are responsible for the successes of GENAs planetary geoengineering projects, although even the most advanced quantum projections have occasionally generated substantial errors and miscalculations. Remote viewing, or the ability to project ones consciousness to a distant location, makes it possible to see and hear events taking place at a distance, referred to as clairvoyance and clairaudience respectively. This ability has been known since antiquity, and was first given military and intelligence application during the cold war. However, modern neurochemicals and digital interface systems have enhanced the reliability of remote viewing techniques considerably. Police, intelligence and military divisions train remote viewers, known as scryers, in order to undertake untraceable covert surveillance operations. Cerebral implants allow one scryer to connect to another 'mind to mind' via telepathic vox, which allows the transmission of thoughts, feelings and images via a quantum entanglement connexion. Another significant advancement in computing is the development of increasingly sophisticated 'biocomputers' which incorporate both organic and synthetic parts. These biocomputers use strands of DNA and RNA as electronic switches, and are expected to allow major improvements in bio-synthetic integration technologies- allowing the creation of true 'cyborgs', among other predicted applications. Scientists have succeeded in creating strands of synthetic DNA which are capable of self-mutation and evolution. Similarly, half organic, half artificial organisms have been constructed. It is believed that these two lines of research, if integrated and perhaps combined with artificial intelligence technology, could result in the creation of a whole new order of life, completely unprecedented in terrestrial history. Synthetic organisms with artificial, evolving DNA and artificial intelligence, living, but post organic- capable of directing the course of their own evolution consciously. It is believed that such organisms would rapidly surpass humanity as the planet's dominant life form, and might moreover be well adapted to survive and thrive in an ecologically devastated world. Nevertheless, the prototype 'biosynthetics' remain rudimentary, with models that are roughly equivalent in form and complexity to jellyfish, cockroaches and inchworms, respectively. Nanotechnology has had countless implications on manufacturing, transportation, medicine and energy generation. For example, by imbuing particles of silver or gold into a growing culture of biotic tissue, it is possible to 'grow' precious metals as though they were plants. A related process has allowed the mass production of cultured protein tissues- vat grown meat substitutes that are created independently of livestock. In 2020 the last kilometre of conventionally available farmland came into production, creating a production crisis and looming food shortages. In order to deal with this crisis, three major innovations were implemented. The first was a shift towards high density urban agriculture, where conventional 'field farming' is replaced by 'high rise agriculture' in which massive glass walled skyscrapers are used to grow food crops. The second is 'ocean terrestrialization' sometimes called by the misnomer 'ocean reclamation'. In this process vast deposits of plastic landfill waste are used to create floating islands which are then covered in layers of decomposing organic garbage which is seeded with spores in order to produce crops of edible fungi. The end result of ocean terrestrialization is the creation of floating plastic islands, each of which functions as a small farm. Thousands of these micro islands dot the coasts of the New Chinese Empire, and other nations are now adopting the process. The third major response to agricultural land shortages is aquatic farming, in which parts of the ocean floor are brought into production and used to farm edible varieties of kelp and seaweed, as well as mollusks and shellfish. Small domed colonies on the sea floor have been established to house the staff who maintain these operations. Corporate espionage has reached massive scales, and corporate warfare (armed conflicts between multinational corporations instead of nation states) has become common. In both cases, teams of highly trained super elite operatives are frequently employed, and these agents are further enhanced through genetic engineering, cybernetic implants and chemical modulation. These agents use spying, theft, kidnapping, intimidation, assassination, computer hacking, extortion, disguise, impersonation, infiltration and any other means to attain corporate goals, steal industrial secrets, eliminate competitors, bribe government regulators and silence protesters and dissidents. These agents operate above and outside of the law, with the result that many governments employ large police forces to attempt to monitor and control their activities, with limited success. In the Camerican temperate rainforest a small population of reproductively viable canid and felid genetically amorphous lycanthropic hominid hybrids exist, living as feral predators. In the oceans, jellyfish have proliferated in staggering numbers, and are extraordinarily toxic to humans, so that even the slightest residual contact is fatal. Increasingly, edible fish contaminated with trace amounts of jellyfish toxin have been causing consumer fatalities. Another flourishing species is squid, both regular and 'giant' varieties, which have exploded in numbers due in part to the extinction of most whale species. Approximately 40 percent of extinct species have been genetically catalogued by the Tanhauser-gates foundation in genetic vaults, so that their reintroduction to the wild is at least hypothetically possible. The first successful interception and redirection of a planet-killer asteroid was carried out in 2034, and the satellite asteroid detection field is thought to be 89 percent complete and accurate. Conventional military expenditures have declined 45 percent worldwide, while nuclear arsenals have declined by 60 percent, but the number of nation-states with nuclear capacity has increased 200 percent, and clean nuke stockpiles are increasing rapidly. The implications of clean nuke technology for Mutually Assured Destruction assumptions is hotly debated. The Norway declaration has recognized the legal personhood of whales, dolphins, orangutans, gorillas, and octopi, and the Scandinavian conservation society (S.C.S) has established protected biodomes where colonies of these life forms are studied and maintained. In 2028 the source of the ocean ultrasonic 'bloop' was discovered by a deep water scientific expedition under the direction of Lord Richard Branson. This was found to be a colossal life form 14 times the size of a blue whale, nicknamed 'Godzilla' or 'leviathan' it is believed at least 100 of these creatures must exist to sustain a breeding population. It is not understood how or on what they feed. So far only one of these leviathans has been confirmed. Huge increases in pollution have caused an enormous rise in cancers and other toxic illnesses. In many cities it has become common place to wear face masks at all times, and some have even begun wearing hazmat suits for day to day life. However, increases in pollution mortality have been offset by advances in stem cell therapy, organ cloning, and artificial organ replacement. It is now not uncommon for an affluent citizen to go through two or more pairs of lungs and as many as three livers in one lifetime. Replacement organs may be cloned from the patient’s own tissue, but a black market trade in harvested human organs remains large and growing. In some cases, organ farms have been uncovered in which humans are born and raised exclusively to be slaughtered for their organs. The Falun Gong spiritual practice has been all but eradicated in imperial china, and its practitioners were largely harvested for organs. However, many Falun Gong practitioners escaped via the 'underwater railroad' and Falun Dafa cells now proliferate throughout the world, and have become radicalized, forming alliances with the cult of the Starchild and the hacking collective known as Anonymous. The nation of Israel has been renamed Zion, and the occupation of Palestine has escalated to full blown genocide. Zion president Georgie Netanyahu has overseen the deployment of chemical agents and genetically specific viruses against the Palestinian people, killing tens of thousands. The remainder have either fled or been incarcerated in concentration camps where they are killed within months by factory processes of lethal injection. Many of the surviving Palestinian refugees were killed by the clean nuke that obliterated Iran. The few who survive are primarily high level members of the Islamic Eschaton, which has vowed to annihilate Zion at any cost. Zion’s aggressive unilateral tactics and extensive crimes against humanity have left it increasingly isolated in world politics, and the collapse of its primary ally in Old Amerika has exacerbated this. However, the power elite in Zion maintain connections with the remnants of the global cabal and the Old Amerikan enclave on the moon. They also have discreet dealings with the Amexican Narco Patriots. The texture of human society has been profoundly altered by the discovery and invention of thousands of novel psychoactive drugs, including cognition enhancing nootropics, the so called 'pacifist pills' which eradicate aggression and violence, the first actual anti-depressants, which create a stable euphoric affect and immunity from grief and bereavement, and the metapsychotics, which permanently and irreversibly render a person’s thought processes and emotional reactions completely incomprehensible to anyone who has not also taken the drugs. Drugs now exist that alter any imaginable human cognitive, behavioural and emotional trait in an infinite variety of ways. The oneirohypnotics, for example, induce an R.E.M state while awake, so that dreaming consciousness is integrated or 'overlayed' with waking life. The dystopics induce a state of demonic evil in the user, so that he or she becomes obsessed with acts of perversity and violence which fill the user with maniacal glee. Highly addictive, dystopics have flooded certain ghettos and created uncontrollable riots that have required lethal and indiscriminate military suppression and have depopulated entire neighbourhoods. On the other hand, the Scandinavian countries have added trace amounts of pacifistic drugs to municipal water supplies, virtually eliminating homicide, domestic abuse and other violent crimes literally overnight. The eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano was narrowly averted in 2039, when fracking technology was modified in order to inject trillions of gallons of water and pyrosuppresant chemicals into the caldera, diverting pyroclastic uplift and modulating the buildup of geothermic pressure in such a way as to postpone an extinction level eruption for an indeterminate amount of time. In 2016 a North American truth and reconciliation commission was held in Michigan after the American dental society admitted that sodium fluoride was introduced into municipal water supplies as part of an international conspiracy to lower IQs, increase mortality rates and cultivate a lethargic, apathetic and disoriented citizenry. by 2014 a global wave of resignations among high level bankers, financial executives, corporate accountants, C.E.O.s and political regulators had reached its conclusion, and by 2015 mass litigation, class action lawsuits and the arrests of several hundred stock brokers, bankers, accountants and wall street credit company employees had been executed. The occupy wall street movement radicalized in 2015, only to be suppressed by Obamas domestic drone strike policy, which killed large numbers of protesters and dispersed the rest. Although Bush junior was eventually tried for crimes against humanity and imprisoned by the international court for human rights, conspiracy theorists argued that he was merely a 'sacrificial lamb' allowing higher level operatives to escape unharmed. Benjamin Fulford was assassinated in 2017 after his highly publicized accusation that the Fukushima wars had been orchestrated by a faction of the Rothschild illuminati. This event precipitated the complete psychotic breakdown of David Wilcock, who was hospitalized at a psychiatric research center after stripping naked during a 'wanderers’ convergence' seminar. Facebook was exposed by the hackers collective anonymous in 2020, and was revealed to be providing the personal information of Facebook users to Camerican 'fusion centers' which then used posted photo albums as a basis with which to initiate interactive holographic personalized marketing initiatives as well as global full spectrum informational awareness and surveillance programs, which create statistical and analytical aggregates for each living human being. These 'Facebook phantoms' consist of a compilation of political viewpoints, social relationships, consumer preferences and behavioral tendencies which are sold to corporate marketing firms and intelligence agencies alike. Each person in the industrialized world is now a bipartite entity, consisting of one organic being and one digital catalog of past actions, expressions and inclinations. Both are bought and sold in the new digital slave market where bidders compete to purchase the biological and virtual bodies of citizens. RFID chips implanted into the hand have become common place in Camerica and the U.K. And are used to track and monitor the movements of citizens as well as to provide identification and to facilitate commerce, however the Amexican Narco Patriots vehemently oppose this practice, as do the Rastafari of Ethiopian Jerusalem . Archaeologists operating in the famous lower Baghdad excavation site have uncovered a three dimensional map displaying the cartographical features of 14 percent of the Earth’s surface in unaccountable detail. The map, carbon dated at 39 000 years old, is considered to be a 'companion' to the well-known Ural relief map, and appears to be created using the same unknown processes. Both maps equal or exceed modern satellite generated maps in accuracy and detail, and have given historians and geologists new insights into the topography of the ancient world. Controversial paleo-anthropologist Nimon Hsan has argued that the subterranean ruins uncovered off the Mediterranean coast in 2014 are in fact those of fabled Lemuria, one of two sophisticated intercontinental empires predating the writings of Plato. The location of its sister empire, Atlantis, is still hotly debated, with some insisting that it has already been found, while others argue that it remains to be discovered. The Baltic sea USO, or unidentified submerged object, has been studied and partially excavated by an expeditionary research party. The object is said to be constructed from a strange variety of magnetic rock that displays unusual mineralogical properties. The research team had announced that it would release their findings in the form of an upcoming documentary. However, shortly before its release four members of the research team were killed in a car accident, and federal officials confiscated the advance copies of the film. Subsequent press releases state that the object is the remnant of a World War 2 era soviet submarine trap, despite previous statements by the research team which appear to contradict this. Conspiracy theorists maintain that the Baltic Sea USO is either a crashed alien spacecraft or the portal to a mysterious subterranean temple or chamber on the ocean floor. The weakening of the Earth’s geomagnetic field has accelerated each year for twenty consecutive years, and the morphology of the Van Allen belt has become distorted and malformed in a manner that is consistent with an impending magnetic pole reversal, although experts are divided on how long this process will take to reach its conclusion. Although the distorted Van Allen Belt still provides protection from Solar radiation, the changes in the Earth's magnetic field have wreaked havoc on many species of migratory animals who rely on it for navigation , and sudden mass die offs of birds, fish and dolphins have been observed around the world. In late 2013 the sun entered its solar maximum, resulting in a series of M and X class solar flares. Referred to as 'a solar tsunami' this event caused planet-wide disruptions in cell phone coverage and internet access, knocked dozens of satellites out of orbit, and created power black outs that affected 600 million people and lasted for months. This power outage affected the cooling systems of six nuclear reactors, and although four of these were stabilized by the heroic efforts of emergency engineering teams, limited releases of nuclear contamination occurred in the other two cases, roughly equivalent in severity to the radiation release at Three Mile Island. One of these events occurred at an aging nuclear plant located in a densely populated urban area in Bangladesh, and is estimated to have caused 1300 cases of radiation poisoning and approximately 3100 cases of thyroid, lung and brain cancers. Scientists have observed an accelerating evolutionary trend towards the androgenisation of the human race, with decreasing sexual differentiation and less pronounced primary and secondary sex characteristics. The average penis size, muscle mass and sperm production and motility is decreasing among men, while the average breast size among women is falling sharply. Cultural and social trends intensify this sexual homogenization, as males increasingly employ make up, plastic surgery and ornamentation to achieve a 'beautiful and seductive feminine appearance', while there is a trend amongst women to embrace styles of clothing and patterns of behaviour that convey an aggressive, assertive, athletic and professional aesthetic that was formally associated with masculinity. As a result of the fertility protocols imposed by GENA and the new Chinese empire, there has been a globally enforced limit of 'one child per womb' imposed on most women. As a result, selective abortions are common place, and this has created a destabilizing effect on gender proportions, with the consequence that men now outnumber women by as much as two to one. This has had several ramifications for society. First is a marked rise in the prevalence of homosexuality among men, with the effect that in some cultures two distinct subsets of the male gender can now be said to exist. Approximately 66 percent of men dress and act with a conventional or exaggerated masculine demeanour, while approximately 33 percent of men lean toward a feminine aesthetic. Sexual and romantic couplings between type 1 and type 2 males are now almost as common as male-female heterosexual pairings. Another consequence of female scarcity is an alarming rise in human trafficking and sexual slavery, as sexually viable females have become a highly valuable commodity. For many men, participating in 'trains' in which dozens of men copulate with a single female is the only heterosexual experience they will ever have. Furthermore, in order to circumvent the 'one child per womb' policy, wealthy individuals who desire large families frequently keep a 'harem' or 'kennel' of breeding females, which further exacerbates the scarcity of females available to less elite males. Females who are not owned or sexually trafficked enjoy enormous social power and prestige, as desperate men compete for their affections with extravagant gifts and displays of affection. Attractive women often live lives of extraordinary wealth and privilege, and frequently have several 'boyfriends', each of whom pays dearly for the privilege of her company. Because of the prestige that these 'princess' females enjoy, analysts estimate that male-selective abortions will begin to decrease and gender proportionality will gradually reassert itself. At the same time as the human species trends towards decreased biological differentiation between males and females, the occurrence of both hermaphrodites (who display both male and female sexual characteristics) and true androgynes (who display neither) are skyrocketing. As many as one in ten contemporary births are now sexually 'atypical', leading many scholars to argue that the human species is no longer divided into only two genders, and that at least four must now be recognized. The situation is further complicated by enormous advances in cosmetic surgery and body modification techniques. Sexual reassignment surgery has become much cheaper, safer, easier and more effective, with the result that 'gender drift' has reached 5 percent, meaning that one in twenty people will elect to transition out of their birth gender. Furthermore, cosmetic surgery is increasingly being employed to bend or reimagine biological genders, so that 'designer genders' are now available for consumer purchase. For example, many men pay to have a vagina added to their bodies, while many women graft on a penis. This makes possible a new form of sexual configuration referred to by the slang terms 'eighty-eight' and 'wildcatting', in which the two partners may simultaneously penetrate and be penetrated by the other party. This is thought to amplify sexual pleasure to previously unobtainable levels, and the quest for this sought after experience is driving increasing numbers of people to elect for non-standard and designer genders and anatomies. Other popular configurations include having two penises (allowing a man to simultaneously penetrate a woman anally and vaginally) and having two vaginas (which allow a woman to be penetrated with as many as four penises at a time). Prostitutes and adult entertainment actors may adopt even more exotic configurations in order to capitalize on niche markets. For example, women with three or more breasts are increasingly popular, as are effeminate looking men with vaginas instead of penises. In some cases, special hormonal treatments are used to 'pause' an individuals sexual maturation at a particular age, resulting in legal adults who occupy childlike bodies. This allows individuals to exploit a legal loophole in sexual age of consent laws, and has created a booming market for 'legal pedophilia'. Although some nations and regions have outlawed this practice, others have declared it legally acceptable, and most believe it will become more rather than less common as time goes on. Domesticated animals have been genetically modified in numerous ways, and in addition to greater yields of meat, milk and eggs among farm animals, genetic engineering has also been used to enhance the intelligence of service animals, particularly dogs. Genetic engineering combined with the grafting of human brain tissue onto the cortex of service dogs has resulted in enormously intelligent canines capable of highly sophisticated tasks, and those 'smartdogs' who are equipped with digital speaking prosthetics are capable of communicating with their owners with simple verbal language. Similar experiments have been carried out with various forms of monkeys and orangutans, as well as dolphins and parrots. The result has been the creation of various enhanced animals with cognitive and emotional capabilities equalling or exceeding that of many humans. Because some of these species have already been granted legal rights and personhood by the Norway declaration, these enhanced individuals are able to dialogue with humans and engage in civic and political affairs. In 2038 Sweden became the first country to elect a non-human member of parliament, when the neo-orangutan Doctor Worman Hopki was inducted to civic office. In the same year Belgium became the first country to legalize interspecies marriage, when the eccentric millionaire Yolanda Meriarki was married to her cognitively enhanced Seeing Eye dog Jason Chalmers. Since then a handful of interspecies marriages have been carried out, including the highly publicized diplomatic marriage between Honduran animal rights activist Thomas Myers and a genetically engineered neo-dolphin named Samantha. Myers insists the marriage has not been consummated, and was carried out in order to draw attention to the plight of dolphins and to raise awareness of their equality with human beings. The Islamic eschaton has virulently condemned the practice of interspecies marriage as the ultimate expression of moral degeneracy in the non-Islamic world, and internet videos have been posted depicting the decapitation or immolation of individuals with designer anatomies by Islamic eschaton radicals. Between 2012 and 2017 incidents of mass shootings occurred with alarming and increasing frequency, and claimed ever larger numbers of civilian lives, with the 'Black Christmas' massacre of 2016 killing more than 200 people at a crowded shopping center in Minneapolis. These attacks were used to justify legislative reforms that made gun ownership illegal for the majority of Camerican citizens, although it is estimated that the subsequent gun amnesty collection and destruction programs removed less than 2 percent of Camerican firearms from the streets and homes of the nation. During the height of the Fukushima wars, over four million Americans had to be evacuated from their homes as a result on severe radioactive fallout. A further nine million were displaced by rising sea levels, which inundated many coastal cities, and raging climate cataclysms that saw the destruction of entire cities and towns by raging wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes. In response to this massive population displacement, the federal emergency measures act was put into effect, enacting martial law and seeing millions of Camerican citizens incarcerated in prison-like conditions in so called 'FEMA camps'. However, disrupted supply lines and damaged infrastructure resulted in some of these camps being left without adequate food or water. Despite these shortages, armed FEMA officials refused to allow citizens to exit the camps, using lethal force and live ammunition on those who tried to escape. As a result, several of these camps became little more than mass graves, where Camericans died by the tens of thousands from starvation, dehydration, exposure and illnesses transmitted by the close quarters and unsanitary conditions. In other camps adequate food, water and medical attention was available, and the incarcerated citizens were pressed into indentured servitude, forced to participate in compulsory work for food programs. The largest of these operational FEMA camps became neo-feudal fiefdoms, where FEMA officials ruled over the enslaved populace like medieval dukes. Meanwhile, when Camerica and Amexica were separated by the fallout belt, the Mexican drug cartels seized the southern FEMA camps and repurposed them as heavily defended fortresses which cabal and syndicate kingpins used as headquarters for their drug empires. The first mega cyclone occurred in 2025, and covered over 75 percent of the Atlantic Ocean. Although the event created enormous disruptions of shipping lanes and forced the suspension of many commercial fishing activities, analysts estimate that the impacts would have been far greater had the cyclone been concentrated over a populated landmass instead of an ocean. Alarmingly, scientists working at UBC and Berkeley have concluded that modern super storms are tearing rifts in the already compromised atmospheric ozone layer, resulting in skyrocketing rates of skin cancer and UV related vision loss. As a result daily use of powerful sunscreen lotions has become ubiquitous, and few people are seen without brimmed hats and sunglasses. Australia has been hit particularly hard, as it lies directly below the epicenter of the largest ozone hole. The solar radiation in this region is so intense that melanomas may appear on unprotected skin within mere hours of exposure. As a result, thousands of Australians have fled to the carbon sequestration belt, where the canopies of enormous genetically engineered forests provide dense shade and protection from the suns lethal rays. Thousands of domestic pork swine have escaped in the Australian outback, gone feral and interbred with wild warthogs, and the resulting offspring have displayed signs of mutation, perhaps as a result of high levels of solar radiation. These aggressive feral hogs pose a substantial threat to the Australian climate refugees sheltering in the carbon sequestration forest, but the threat of maiming and goring is offset by the considerable food value of the hogs as game meat. After a series of powerful tropical storms swept through an already earthquake devastated Haiti, the rule of law in that nation collapsed entirely, resulting in massive riots that swept into the neighbouring Dominican republic, causing the decimation of the tourism industry in that nation and ongoing border disputes as the Dominican military use brutal tactics to hold the flood of Haitian refugees at bay. During the climate cataclysms, and as a result of global panic surrounding the severity of global warming and ecological destruction, the non-governmental organization known as Greenpeace grew to enormous proportions, receiving massive funding influxes from citizens and brokering alliances with the international environmental regulatory agency known as GENA. However, a minority within Greenpeace has become disillusioned with the totalitarian ecological regime and its reckless implementation of massive experimental geoengineering projects and uncompromising enforcement of severe environmental protocols. This faction has become radicalized and gone underground, engaging in sometimes violent confrontations with GENA's military eco-police. The foreign policy priorities of the bush era 'global war on terror' and the long standing 'war on drugs' have given way to a Camerican obsession with domestic terrorism, with the result that unmanned aerial surveillance drones are a common sight over Camerican cities, and a network of 'fusion centers' carries out extensive intelligence gathering and surveillance activity, tapping millions of phone lines, monitoring emails and text messages, and using orbital satellites to maintain an eagles eye view of the activities of citizens. Constitutional rights have been formally and indefinitely suspended, and freedom of speech, the right to free association and the right to bear arms are no longer recognized or protected. Drone strikes against domestic targets have become common place, and thousands of protesters, political dissidents, anti-government activists and Islamic eschaton Muslims have been assassinated in their homes or secretly deported to FEMA camps or secret pseudo-military torture installations. The draconian actions of the Camerican government has radicalized large portions of the nation, and these heavily armed rebels call themselves 'constitutional patriots', forming roving militia bands and terrorist cells who have raided government supply lines, bombed fusion centers and attempted to breach FEMA camps. Although the majority of these attacks have been thwarted by the secret police, the constitutional patriots have succeeded in liberating more than fourteen thousand detainees from a FEMA camp in North Dakota, although many of these escapees were subsequently recaptured and killed. The hackers collective known as Anonymous has developed a process for interfering with fusion center digital surveillance by 'looping' and 'shuffling' innocuous phone messages and emails, creating temporary periods of 'static cover' during which insurrectionary or illegal data transactions can take place without government detection. Furthermore, rumours persist that anonymous has collaborated with the digital criminal consortium known as 'the pirate bay' in order to create a covert 'shadow internet' which is independent of government censorship and surveillance. This shadownet is said to be created by the use of a virus which infects home computers and turns them into 'zombie terminals' which act as transfer stations for the flow of contraband data and illicit communications. Although these zombie terminals are utilized on a randomized rotation, government agents occasionally track them down before they can be deactivated, which has resulted in hundreds of innocent and unsuspecting citizens being arrested on cybercrime and domestic terrorism charges. For this reason 'pirates anonymous' is admired and hated by the public in equal measure. Access to the shadownet is highly restricted, and the covert system is used only by high level hackers, cyber criminals and the leadership of radical political cells. Before the dissolution of the United Nations, that organization had announced and commenced the so called 'hundred year starship project' which involved the construction of a nuclear powered interstellar vessel capable of sustaining human passengers indefinitely through waste cycling and shipboard agriculture. The culturing of nutritional algae within automated farming modules provides for the passengers dietary needs, while the cycling of urine provides an infinite supply of water. The United Nations elected Cambodian Nobel prize winning scientist and human rights advocate Tima Salong as the 'captain' of the hundred year starship. When the United Nations collapsed before the construction of the starship could be completed, the project was turned over to a consortium of private corporations who finished the starship in 2020 and launched it in 2023. The starship held a crew of 46, and had set a destination of exoplanet Gliese 318b, which xenobiologists estimate is the closest potentially habitable extrasolar planetary body. Although faster than light propulsion technology now exists, human beings cannot survive the pressures generated by passing the lightspeed barrier. Therefore, the hundred year starship employs sub-lightspeed propulsion technologies. At sublight speeds, the hundred year starship will take 240 years to reach its destination, meaning that it is not the astronauts who depart from earth but rather their second and third generation descendants who will one day set foot on the surface of a habitable alien world, creating the first extra solar human colony. Completed at a cost of 9 trillion dollars, the hundred year starship is estimated to have a 49 percent chance of successfully completing its mission, and many analysts fear that one or more of its numerous contingency systems will fail before it reaches its destination, depositing nothing but skeletons on the surface of Gliese 318b.
