  • Message 90: Spacegate

    Message Log 90, 06/08/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear dreamers of 2022,

    You have the world's richest billionaire promising to send one million humans to Mars by 2050. You listen in awe, but something doesn't seem quite right. right?

    First off, let me just tell you, that didn’t happen. The race to conquer space, in fact, will be recognized as the century's biggest cover-up. While a few orbiting space hotels can still be observed drifting among the swaths of satellites and space garbage, Earth's resource wars had stopped space colonization efforts by the mid 2030s.

    But we did not know this. And no one outside of the circle knew the truth about why Mars was so important.

    The operations supposedly aimed at terraforming and colonizing Mars were actually a coverup for humanity's survival on Earth. Governments and businesses participating in the initiatives recognized humanity couldn't take the truth, so they did everything they could to keep it hidden. They kept the populous fighting each other while feeding the promises of escape from a dying planet and civilisation, and they built out the colony on Earth right under our noses.

    NASA announced the MarsXR Challenge in June 2022 to assist in the development of virtual reality assets and scenarios for scientific purposes. The hyper-realistic MarsXR environment will become the source for the phony updates from the fake Mars colony.

  • Message 89: Age of War

    Message Log 89, 05/29/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear Transitioners,

    Your entire global economy is headed toward an imminent collapse. As I stated in our previous message, there is not a whole lot you can do, aside from accepting the situation in order to face the realities with strength, courage, and humanity.

    You are now entering an age of resource wars, shortages, and serious, sustained inflation. And this will last for years. Shortages will become endemic, a way of life. As they remain still in the 2050s.

    During your time, humanity did not behave positively, resulting in a cascade of negative decisions and hasty measures on the part of governments. As the income disparity widened, so did the decent democratic social equities you had come to expect, particularly in the West.

    Everything started to run out. Harvest yields plummeted as the temperature rose. Wars erupted everywhere. While prices spiked, the United States, Russia, and China competed for global domination. This will set the stage for more hardships to come.

  • Message 88: Radical Uprising

    Message Log 88, 05/19/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear transitioners of the 2020s,

    As your global economies continue to crumble, I'd like to draw attention to a specific occurrence that is happening in America.

    Our records show that during this period of our history, the United States began to show its true direction. As countries around the world tightened their borders in preparation for food and energy resource wars, America was preparing for a new form of government. These plans will spark protests, but these oppositions will fade as each radical component is implemented.

    During your time, there was a shift in focus from democratic exercise to seizing constitutional structures, such as the Supreme Court, local offices, and so on. It desired complete control. Total control of women—to turn them into breeding machines for the fascist project, fueled by paranoia about "white genocide" and a "great replacement" by "immigrants". It also wanted total control over children, to shape and mold them into fascist lifestyles, to control their thoughts, and to mentally genocide gays and other minorities from the start, so they couldn't exist as groups or people in the first place.

    The government of the United States became a breeding ground for totalitarian revolution. This will appear to be a sudden shift in power over who decides how you live, what is criminal and what is legal. But it will have been going on behind the scenes for years.

    You will become a society in which all aspects of thought, behavior, relationships, and expression are policed, monitored, and controlled. One that requires complete conformity.

    Can you stop this? I don't think so, because you've gotten too far into it without fully understanding the implications. However, you have the ability to rise above and begin the shift now to see what is truly going on. You cannot overcome these threats until you accept your situation and recognize that building a better future is only possible when social, environmental, and economic equality are achieved.

  • Message 87: Viral Spillover

    Message Log 87, 05/09/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Deer courageous transitioners,

    It pains me to give you this additional warning as you begin to see a new wave of the COVID virus in the distance. But we believe you deserve to know the truth.

    The COVID  pandemic is just the beginning.

    Climate change, by 2040, was creating ideal conditions for viruses to jump from one species to another, with far-reaching consequences for human health.

    As thousands of new viral transmissions started to surface from hotspots all over the world, a radical movement began to emerge. Extremists banded together to argue that animals should be annihilated before they wipe out humans.

    They insisted that if the planet heats up rapidly, animals will be unable to shift their ranges quickly enough and will perish as a result, rather than giving them time to adapt and move around with slower warming.

    Their argument was both disturbing and impractical, but they refused to give up. Adding to the chaos.

  • Message 86: Save Yourselves

    Message Log 86, 04/29/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear young adults of the 20s,

    The world you are inheriting may appear to be going insane and spiraling down a path of self-destruction. Your leaders may seem unconcerned. And it may feel like the older generation simply want to keep as much of the guarantee of a good life as they were promised with no regard for your future.

    These emotions are understandable and, in retrospect, accurate. But what are you going to do about it?

    Unfortunately, you are powerless. This period of history will, and must play out. The hardship will end, but difficult times are ahead. You have control over how you respond, and how humanity emerges from the ashes. Because it is only you who has the power to change the course of our lives.

    If you can refocus on being better humans to each other and to the living planet that cares for you, you might have a chance.

    Slow down to see the intricate networks of everything around you. Take time to create something for the sake of the process of creation, and share your work, time, and wisdom with others to grow your connections.

    Rather than canceling those whom you don’t agree with, refocus your attention on moving forward and working on your own personal growth.

    This is humanity’s most decisive time in history.  And you, young people of the 2020s, can be the ones who can rewrite our future.

  • Message 85: We Are You

    Dear ancestors,

    Things aren't going well. We've been sending you these messages for the past two years, but nothing has changed. In fact, the dire situation has worsened. ANNA, the Global Brain that controls humanity, has neared quantum level power, and her plans reveal what she will do once finished.

    Perhaps you believe this is all a big hoax. Or maybe we're getting lost in the avalanche of conspiracy theories that bombards your inbox on a daily basis. However, I can assure you that we are genuine. And so it is with the situation.

    We are the future. We are you thirty years from now. We're here to warn you. But, more importantly, there is hope. While we see a devastated world ahead of us, we also see a real opportunity to rewrite what has come before us.

    If you are hearing us for the first time, please reference our past messages and expect to receive new ones every ten days.

    Message #60 is a good place to start.

  • Message 84: Great Transitioners

    Message Log 84, 04/09/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear fellow humans,

    You have arrived at the edge of the Great Transition. Your world as you know it will accelerate into a new form of global capitalism from this point forward. This has to happen. It will happen!

    You will be remembered as The Great Transitioners by history. The ones who laid the groundwork for where we are today. In your era, my parents are my age now. They saw it coming and watched as the world imploded. After some time, they began to rebuild on a dream of new growth and capital metrics, In order to include all living things and the planet's ecosystems as one unified organism.

    First and foremost, in order to adapt, you must modify your societal behaviors. Almost every aspect of human life on Earth will need to change as a result of this, and you’re running out of time. A bright future is possible. All you have to do now is make the right decisions. The difficult part will be changing society's perspective on what you really want for the future on a global scale and reaching an agreement on it.

  • Message 83: Arise

    Dear Humans of the raging twenties

    As it becomes clear that both sides of your politics are now a complete failure, democracy will continue to erode around the world, with fascism and fanaticism on the rise. As you try to make sense in a vacuum of frustration and exasperation, you will literally give up on democracy.

    This fuels a resurrected revolutionary, who spins his tale of fascism as it resurfaces as a major rising force around the world, stronger than ever.

    Everyone is now taught not to interact with, respect, or dignify reality in any way. To cancel everything you don't believe and claim to know the real truth while yelling at every opposition, and denying it all.

    There will be a Dark Age. You can, however, alter how you enter and exit the space. We too saw this coming. Our mistake however, arose from a place of anger and fear, where ignorance became wisdom and led everyone into the abyss.

    I'll say it once more. There will be a period of darkness. It is unavoidable, but necessary for humanity to progress beyond the major constraints you face in your time. Be strong and stoic, and seek out the others.

  • Message 82: New Wave

    Message Log 82, 03/20/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear fellow humans.

    I hope our warnings about the next waves of covid variants were taken seriously. Because the next one is knocking at your doorstep right now.

    This one will be far more contagious than the previous variant. In fact, it will go down in history as one of the most contagious diseases ever. For the time being, at least.

    America will take a direct hit. The supply chain problems will worsen. The economy will reveal even more cracks as new alliances form in the midst of the war and political outrage further divides you.

    In the ongoing battle for normalcy, the elderly, the ill, and the sick continued to get infected and die, providing an ideal breeding ground for new variants to emerge and fueling an ostensibly perpetual pandemic.

    Then the worst nightmare came true! In the years that follow, a SARS COVID super strand will emerge, eradicating a quarter of the population.

  • Message 81: Climate Choice

    Message Log 81, 03/10/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

    Dear 2022 Humans.

    In the same way that the pandemic highlighted the reality of the global supply chain, the war with Russia is revealing how deep your dependency on fossil fuels goes.

    However, there is a more devastating revolution on the way, one that will send extremism rippling throughout the world.

    The truth about the enormous economic sacrifices required to save the planet will go viral. Fear of modern capitalism's demise will pit one side against those who are willing to give up all for the sake of the planet's ecosystems.

    Extremists on both sides will launch a war on facts in order to win their debate about what will be dubbed "climate choice," in which they will argue over whether extreme measures are enforceable and whether the decision is an individual right.
