A Dystopian Future —

with a Happy Ending

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions” – Samuel Johnson

Everyone wants a better life, or a good one at the very least.

Everyone.

No one aims for a worse life. You’d have to have something wrong with you if that was so.

Let’s just accept that as an axiom for the moment and apply it to contemporary Politics. If EVERYONE wants a better life, then it would seem that no matter who is in charge, viz a vie, the Presidency, we should expect a better life, or at the very least, a good one because they are people too and who runs a campaign on the promise to make things worse?!?? Every politician these days almost sounds like an Evangelist Preacher promising to deliver us to a more Utopian America, no matter which party it is, do they not???….

And yet, we all know that instead of becoming more Utopian, we are becoming more Dystopian, as a nation. You know what I mean:

Murders; hatred; threats from employers; threats from Government; out of control national debt; inflation across the board: of food, housing, education, etc., etc., etc.; wars and rumors of wars; robbery; flash mobs; planned or unplanned pandemics, forced vaccinations, food shortages…. need I say more??

If everyone, especially our leaders, promise good intentions, then it would seem this American proverb is more true than ever: we are going to hell in a hand basket.

Is there any brighter tomorrow ahead, a way out?? Yes, there actually is but before we go there, let’s look at what will happen before we come out of hell.

Dictators

For many Ages, specifically the past 2,000 years, the Western world has argued both religiously and philosophically, whether the Nature of Mankind is Good or Evil. I think after all this time we can safely answer that question.

All of History goes in cycles and when a nation starts becoming more evil, you will notice that a Strong Man always arises or worse yet in modern Democracies, a king or dictator is voted in! Dictators are evidence of Nations that have lost their moral compass. This isn’t meant to be a History thesis but I will just list some names that many will be familiar with: Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Fidel Castro, just to name a few contemporary ones. Do you know what each of these have in common besides their authoritarian powers?

They ALL started off doing Good or had good intentions!! If we apply our axiom we started with above, what does that mean??

One theorem we can derive from that is that it’ll take a lot of death and destruction to get rid of a Dictator! It can’t be any other way! And with the ensuing 21^st century, I am going to prophesy something that many will hope won’t come true but will personally, participate in to bring it about: there will be more dictators in this century than has ever occurred before in a 100 years’ time! When I say “personally participate in”, I mean YOU. You will bring dictators to power in western democratic countries. (I will not because only a third or fourth party will prevent this. See my article in this tab “Wife Batterer Syndrome and the American Electorate”)

Already we see in the 2024 elections the seething potential to make Presidents Trump or Biden into a Dictator. How so?? Because most of you readers will vote for one of them, I guarantee that if either wins, they will decree more executive orders than ever before! How do I know this?? Because every President is increasingly using executive orders to rule rather than let the Legislature!

Are we truly living in a “Democracy” when this happens?? Let’s take a parallel country to us, El Salvador, and see where all western “democracies” are going: you have complete societal breakdown there – gangs that have more power than the police; rapes; bribery; murder. Now comes along Nayib Bukele who was granted to serve as President beyond what their Constitution allowed by both the Electorate and their Supreme Court with all kinds of “executive orders” and other powers[1]. Sure, he is using it to clean up his country – all good intentions! But he still has become a Dictator in every definition of the word! All with the backing of 85% of the people! Still think this won’t happen here or more often in the western world?!

Vaccinations

Too many people have short memories.

On the brink of 2022, one year into President Biden’s presidency, he was intending to force all of the U.S. population to be vaccinated against COVID 19 before the pandemic became an ENdemic disease. When almost everyone contracted the newest variant in January of that year, the decree to “force everyone” to be vaccinated became null and void because at least 75% of the population contracted it at once, meaning we achieved “herd immunity”. With that, the diktat to fire people from their employers who didn’t comply became null and void also.

The question that everyone should be asking themselves is, was this a justified decree to put on every single living adult?? Most of the U.S. population think this was a black and white problem, and thus a yes vs. no answer when in fact it wasn’t! The problem with our country is that everyone has come to treat a political issue with the same dogmatism of religion, meaning, they treat Politics like they do Religion. Is a question of biological nature TRULY a black and white issue?? I am not about to answer the question of Vaccination here because it is TRULY a multi-faceted issue but the question of whether EVERYONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION must be vaccinated against such-and-such disease, THAT is what should concern people going forward!

What did we see above about Dictators becoming more prominent? Do you think your body is safe if ONE person can decide such matters? Is your job safe? Is your pension or retirement money safe, again, if one leader can decide all such things??

Keep in mind the topic of this discourse: we are talking about the fears of a future Dystopia coming to your future. We haven’t even discussed hyper-inflation, debt, digital currency and the like…

Soaring Inflation and debt

Everyone who has taken college Economics 101 knows about the Law of Supply and Demand, even if you have never remembered anything else. Supply and Demand are forces that contend with each other and the difference between the two is where we get the reality of Inflation. If Supply goes up and Demand stays the same, you have deflation. If Demand goes up and the Supply stays the same, you have inflation. If Supply goes down, you have even more inflation. That is what we have been experiencing since 2021, the post-pandemic era.

Economics is a little more complex than that but those are the basic forces at work. Something that few politicians expected was that in the rush to give more economic equality to the poorer nations of the world, we have staved off mass starvation and more military conflict than we already have but we have started making poorer nations more middle class consumers like us and that has created many unexpected side effects to nations that were already 1^st or 2^nd class western democracies. In the book 2030, Mario Guillen describes how making China and India middle class societies like us will produce the same side effects: societies that will demand more than us (because they are in greater number, hence a larger Market), take more resources that we would consume and then pollute the planet even more than us which would create even greater climate disruption.[2]

It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that greater inflation robs people of wealth. When you can’t keep as much of your money because everything costs more, you have less chance to save – or spend – because it takes more dollars to buy the same stuff. This always affects the poorer first, hence, you get the effect of the “rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer”. I remind the reader that this has nothing to do with capitalism itself; the Law of Supply and Demand are economic Laws that exist in every economic system nations practice.

With the increase of prices come the increase of both personal and national debts. Personal debt takes on many forms beyond credit card debt: home loans, auto loans and school loans are all forms of personal debt. These debts are the most obvious to most people because increasingly, one cannot obtain the above without taking out long-term mortgages. “Long-term” means that socioeconomic statuses become more solidified. This translates into less hope for those on the bottom rung which incentivizes Crime or black market activity. Add into that mix an increasing National debt and then everything spins out of control because NOBODY escapes the ravages of hyper-inflation. That is where we and many other prominent western nations are today – on the brink of hyperinflation.

Digital Currency

“Technology, in the hands of Mankind, tends towards enslavement” – Qavah’s 3^rd law

No thanks to the ubiquity of Technology, we have a new development on the horizon that will permanently scar Mankind and alter its natural course forever:

I am talking about the usage of Digital Currency or the “proposed” CBDC (central bank direct currency) “money”.

Everyone has been using credit cards for probably 50 years. It is so ingrained in our economy and culture that it is hard to imagine not having one (or three in my case). If you don’t have enough cash on hand, you whip out the credit card and pay it off at the end of the next cycle – if you can! And that is precisely the beginning of personal debt and inflation that begins the cycle of poverty: if you can’t afford something in cash and you have to put the balance or all of your purchase on a credit card, you are creating “false inflation” – a Demand on Goods or Services that should not be because you don’t really have the means to buy a Good or Service. But that doesn’t matter! Once sold, that transaction counts towards the Economy whether it was earned or not.

And what does this have to do with digital currency? Much in every way!

Digital currency, like credit cards, are a NON-monetary instrument to create financial transactions. Cash creates financial transactions also but ONLY cash is entirely under your control and representative of your personal wealth. Credit cards and digital currency is NOT money and hence, are not under your control and representative of your personal wealth.

“How so?” you might say? Credit cards represent the wealth of the lender. You have a legal liability to pay the lender. If you don’t, you will lose what IS your personal wealth. Similarly, digital currency is NOT entirely under your control. It will seem like you have control of your money like a credit card until one day, you oppose a policy (any given policy), never mind perpetuate an actual crime, against the government who is the Owner of digital currency, in this case, the soon-to-be CBDC.

Digital currency, like the CBDC or e-RMB (Chinese currency) will likely be introduced to be “user friendly” as an “alternative” to paying your bills or goods. That is what truly “Free” societies ought to do but the reality that we are talking about in this thesis is, digital currency may very well be forced upon the population in the next financial crisis that will happen (NOT “may”). Consider what our national debt is as of this writing on 5/27/2024: 34.58 trillion.[3] Now consider what our national credit rating was as of 11/10/2023 by Moody: Aaa with a negative outlook. We are currently the 13^th highest rated nation in the world.[4] The rating isn’t bad but it is heavily influenced by our national debt. It wouldn’t take much imagination to know what would happen if our credit rating was knocked down a couple degrees: it would be equivalent to a large 13 story building in which the top two floors caved in suddenly and then stayed that way. Would anyone in their right mind stay in a building that “stabilized” after 2 floors caved in after an earthquake?? There’s no two ways that everyone and the disabled would be fleeing out the door as soon as they could! So too with American money (cash) when that happens….

The unfortunate thing in this all-but-certain scenario is that we won’t be saved by anything; we will go from an unstable ground beneath us into a fire! How so??

One author that muses on the subject of this thesis, a future dystopia initiated by multiple international threats at once says this, quoting an international security agency, ‘“a dominant e-RMB would cede immense power to China…it gives a hostile state the ability to survey transactions, Fleming said. It gives them the ability…to be able to exercise control over what is conducted on those digital currencies.”’[5] – or what can’t be conducted, I would add.

It is easy to see China as the enemy communist country it is but what if we, the U.S., were forced to abandon cash and only authorized to use digital currency?? What if you couldn’t buy the abortion pill because it was “unauthorized” or became illegal? What if you couldn’t buy gas to fill your car (or recharge it) because you were wanted by some state agency? What if you couldn’t buy a gun or tazer to defend yourself as you live life in the city in which the police department was cut back so much you couldn’t count on them to defend your very life??

The bottom line is if cash is taken away because all of the ensuing elements in this thesis snowballed together in one of these future years, you would have a complete capitulation of personal freedom before you realized you are in complete bondage to whatever f*#*ing mood the dictatorial Elite will be in at that time! (The sad thing is, many will be sold on the “we’re saving you/our country” bill of good)

We lose cash (or it’s equivalents like checking or CDs) at once, this ENTIRE WORLD WILL BECOME AUTHORITARIAN OVERNIGHT, I care not what form of government they are; China and Russia already call themselves “Democracies” if you didn’t know it!

That is the Dystopian future that EVERYONE fears. And there won’t be anyone on planet Earth who will be able to save us…

An Unlikely Hero and ending to History

What few people want to hear nowadays is that there is a prophecy that says there will be a future dictator who will do with cash what any secular person can see coming above (eliminating your choice to use it). The amazing thing is that this prophecy was given 1,900 years ago, not recently!

“Also [the Beast] forces everyone – great and small, rich and poor, free and slave – to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, preventing anyone from buying or selling unless he has the mark…” Revelation chapter 13

Prophecy is always given in mysterious symbolism but if one reads the context of the above prophecy, it clearly is speaking of a super-Authoritarian oligarchy. No thanks to Mankind’s endearment toward Technology, not only does Technology make modern Life “easier” but it also makes it “easier” for an ultra-small group of people – or even ONE person – to hold an entire Mass of people hostage at once!!

THIS IS THE DYSTOPIAN FUTURE THAT IS COMING! You don’t have to believe in the above biblical prophecy; it will happen whether you like it or not because you will make it happen. If you continue to use only credit cards, Apple pay, CashApp, crypto currency, etc. and never Cash, YOU create an economy that will only use that – and someone WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. What you Demand creates Supply. That is an immutable Economic Law that crosses ALL forms of Economy. Use only Cash and cash equivalents, no Dictator will be able to control you. It really is that simple sometimes!

Nevertheless… as things progress from Bad to Worse to “This is the End”, know that your Bondage will not last forever. There is a Hero and Savior who is waiting to save you from this Dystopic future, if you want:

“For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost” Luke chapter 19

That’s what this Son of Man said himself and his name is Yeshua (a.k.a. Jesus). Yeshua isn’t “Jesus” but is the self-same man who lived in ancient Judea and died to save everyone, from every ugly sin, injustice and tragedy that Mankind can do to others. I can tell you about many predictions where Yeshua will defeat every Dictator that is coming and set up a Heaven-on-earth but if you don’t ask Him into your life, you will be stuck in this Hell-on-earth.

If you have heard of this person before and immediately dismiss this Jesus or Issa savior, I can’t blame you! I’ve been there. There is only ONE true Messiah and if HE hasn’t ever saved you from what you ask for, then you have yet to meet him.

Remember: you can dismiss the faith of millions and maybe billions of Christian, Messianic or Hebrew Christians from present time backwards for their Testimony but know this for certain:

Presidents Biden, Obama and Trump cannot save you; the United States or the U.N. cannot save you; XYZ religions or Humanist ideologies cannot save you; Drs. Fauci, Oz, nor any medical doctor you name can save you; only One can – Yeshua.

If you think He can’t or he is unfair or whatnot,

I am not sure what you can Hope in. Things aren’t getting better…
