Advanced Human Evolution (The Stories behind the Future Book 1)

by R E Kearney

  Although still squashed into a corner of his airline seat, a tremendous feeling of relief and exhilaration rushes through Robert as he recalls the moment when he finally passed through Point Edward into Canada. He remembers how, as he crossed the border into Canada, he had promised himself to never venture outside of the major cities of the US again, if ever he was foolish enough to enter the US again. But now, after eight additional years under Abaddon, the country has come to the cities. He understands that America’s major cities are overrun by rural refugees attempting to escape the rampant crime and collapse of civil services in the countryside. Overrun by thousands of the poor, unskilled and unemployable, even Washington D.C. has grown very unfriendly to foreigners – Canadians included.

  With increasing trepidation about re-entering the US, Robert returns his attention to the Intel report where he paused it.

  “…Abaddon also employed the Treason, Sedition and Subversive Activities laws to oust all Democratic Senators and Congressmen and any Republican Senators and Congressmen who were not members of his Righteous Rightists Republican wing. In a special election, conducted under especially restrictive voter qualification laws, members of the Righteous Rightists wing secured complete control of the US Congress. Four months after the suspect assassinations, Abaddon secured dictatorial control of the US.”

  “Having total control of the US government, Abaddon broadened his Treason, Sedition and Subversive Activities laws to include US companies and corporations. His American Christians First hiring laws specifically prohibited employing immigrants, non-Christians, homosexuals, unwed mothers, handicapped, etc. The list lengthened and changed each day, as he added new groups he considered enemies of his brand of Christianity. Corporation officers were given ninety days to comply with his hiring laws. If they did not comply within ninety days, all corporation officials would be arrested, corporation funds would be confiscated and all corporation property would be expropriated.”

  “Historians are identifying Abaddon’s ninety day exodus order as the spark that ignited the quest for liberation from centuries-old, obsolete, Westphalian, land-nations by an increasing number of newborn Corporate Cyberstates. Others are proclaiming Abaddon’s order as the start of today’s Economic conflict pitting religion-politique ruled nations against independent secular corporate states. Abaddon has simply declared it a war between Christianity and Secular Humanism and he has vowed to take no prisoners.

  “Ignorance evicted intelligence,” Robert cringes. He dreads returning to President Abaddon, the destroyer, and his demonic locusts’ treacherous, post-apocalyptic world of intolerance, idiocy and hate. The theocratic Christian dictatorship sought by America’s Evangelists for decades is now the law of the land of the no longer free. And it is Hell.
