Anything Goes
-
I've been able to see the future for several years now. And it sucks. Not just the future, but the ability itself.
The main problem is what some science-fiction writer called "The Cassandra Effect" after an ancient seer who could predict the future but no one ever believed her. It's like being stuck buried up to your neck while a freight train heads straight for you.
You won't believe me now, but I'll say it.
The riots are a few months away. Then the garrisoning of the cities and declaration of martial law. Then the Federal Empire will stop pretending. Those without a ReadID card will be executed in the streets. American Troops will do firesweeps of American towns and kill all the residents for "unAmericanism". Volunteer Militias will be attacking Army bases within two years.
And when the Empire feels that America has been pacified, they will turn their attention to the rest of the world. The nuclear war will kill a third of the human race. That will be in about eight years.
And the Big Election? It doesn't matter who wins - the REAL power-brokers are unelected and hidden from our sight.
And the Second Coming? It happened over a thousand years ago. The Rapture, the Reign, all of it - it's been and gone. And you never noticed it.
No one will believe me. But that doesn't matter - it's been said.
