THE KING'S 12
Chapter 14

The sun was growing dimmer, the entire planet was suffering great

depression; mentally and financially. In the entire history of the

planet there had never been less hope. It started with the lower

income people, every member of the family had to work and that still

wasn't enough to sustain the family. The typical family was doing

without the basic necessities. The middle and upper income groups paid

no mind, they looked the other way. While the middle income citizens

had grown used to everyone in the household having to work, they still

enjoyed a prosperous life style.

Soon the middle income group was effected through high taxation in

every area. Goods were taxed, ownership of personal property was

taxed, income was very heavily taxed, energy of all types was highly

taxed. There were taxes upon taxes, it soon became more than this

segment of society could manage. They soon joined the lower income

group, deprived of the basic necessities. Lack of medical care became

one of the major concerns in all segments of the population. Only the

wealthy could afford health care. Many people were suffering in poor

health and economic disaster.

Our leaders had been educated by professors who were students of the

system's doctrine. Therefore, they were teaching beliefs and practices

from Mesmerizer's mind.

Then taxation had to be increased to such a level that the upper

income group was effected. THE BEAST ROARED LOUDER, as if to say,

"Feed me more." All of society was without hope and there were no

leaders that could help them. They had all been destroyed by the

system now thought of by many as "the beast". The people didn't

understand what had happened, there were no thinkers free of the

system. It was impossible to find a publisher that would print the

truth or an idea. If they stepped out of line, the system would send

their henchmen in and shut them down with their powerful agencies

ALPHA 2 followers would come together and communicate in the spirit.

They received some comfort but only on an individual basis, the world

continued to suffer. Members of the Kingdom were of such a small

minority they had little effect on the outcome of things. All of the

things that the Kingdom stood for: Truth, honesty, fairness, kindness,

forgiveness, free enterprise system of economy. They were all gone.

The beast destroyed anything that bore a resemblance of these virtues.

Many citizens who had not believed in ALPHA 2, suddenly were aware

that the philosophy of the Kingdom was indeed "the right way."

Many people were attempting suicide. There was no reason to carry on.

The party lovers; the carefree segment of society that so enjoyed

their freedom to do as they pleased, could not party. There had been

so many laws written and enforced that these people were forced to

stay at home by themselves or they would be stopped, searched and

imprisoned for some misdemeanor crime. Any practice to keep the

citizens indebted to the courts or tax collectors was the intent

handed down to enforcement officials. To leave all citizens feeling

substandard and whipped was one of the methods employed to dominate

and control. The people were fearful of all levels of government.

The beast through the IRS and local governments had made the taxation

so high on all segments of the religious community that they were

forced to close the doors. A humanistic, one world religion was placed

in force. It was a powerless form of religion meant only to passify an

unknowing society that had always depended on the system for guidance.

Then a leader emerged, he worked miracles much like ALPHA 2 had done.

The citizens were so in need of a savior they fell on their knees and

worshiped him. MOST PEOPLE SAID HE WAS GOD. ALPHA 2 followers

knew he was counterfeit. He was empowered by Mesmerizer, the great liar

of the universe. This miracle worker was worshiped on a global basis. He

was highly publicized, the press was on his side.

In order to receive health care of any kind, the people had to have a

mark in the palm of their hand or on their forehead. This identifying

number was on a computer maintained by the system. If you were

unconscious they could scan your number and pull up your medical

records. The mark was invisible to the human eye and painless to

install. The system did a good job of selling the benefits of this

system to the people. They started with the elderly, infants and

children. The mark was taken by most all citizens because soon, the

citizens could not buy or sell anything without being identified by an

identifying mark and number.

The country had become a cashless society. The government couldn't

completely control the citizens as long as cash was honored. The use

of cash would enable the citizens to buy or sell without the mark.

Therefore cash was taken completely out of the system. With this new

system the IRS could immediately access your account and collect the

taxes on a daily basis. The people rationalized that the mark made

sense. With the mark you didn't have to worry about counterfeit money

or being robbed. There were many advantages it seemed. Many of the

very elect of ALPHA's Kingdom were tricked into taking the mark. When

you went to the grocery store or bought anything you simply moved your

hand over the scanner and your account was charged. The problem was

this -- If your account was overdrawn, you were placed in a work camp

until you brought your account current. Many times, by the time an

offender brought his account current, he had lost his home and family.

One of the 12, John, had warned members of the Kingdom " All who take

the mark will be lost."

The citizens were looked upon as a herd, a producing herd paying taxes

and doing work for the handful who ran the planet. All hope of freedom

was lost. For the first time since man appeared on the planet, there

was no hope anywhere on the planet. No place to run.

The leaders of the system knew that within a generation all memories

of freedom and private enterprise would be lost. They could then

control the "herd" without the use of killer viruses and diseases.

Perverted methods of sexual gratification were introduced and accepted

by the people, the media helped sell the perverted ideas. The herd

population would be controlled by artificial insemination. This way

they could better breed them for the work that needed to be done. They

already had a process for sterilization at birth.

Soon there would be no danger of riots or unrest among the herd, for

they would be well under control. Bred to serve, not lead.

When the leaders were questioned about these things, they shunned them

and refused to answer such ridiculous charges. The leaders would refer

to the person who raised such an absurd question as "One who is

paranoid and ridiculous." The media of course did their part to serve

the system as they always had.

ALPHA 2 had made a promise that, "He would shorten that horrible

time." His followers wondered how far it had to go before he made his

promise good.
