Chapter 59
One World Order
Claude’s instincts were correct. Members of the Qabalah were actively supporting the energy grid in pursuit of their own agenda. They infiltrated the militant outlaw group Amalgamation Alliance whose goal was to establish a one-world order.
Of course, the world envisioned by the Qabalah would be under their control. The twenty-one surviving clones had revealed their secret existence to assume key positions within the Amalgamation Alliance. This made them more powerful than ever, but also more vulnerable.
A spokesman wearing the familiar black cape, bowler hat, and thick dark glasses addressed an assembly of high-ranking Alliance members.
“We are offering you the means to establish a one-world order which will unite the planet. Claude Gautier makes flowery speeches to avert your attention from the full potential of the energy grid. He claims the ORION Institute wants nations to work together, but their real goal is to keep the world divided while they selfishly hoard the technology. They dole out little crumbs to keep corrupt politicians under their control.”
The cluster of Alliance members were awestruck. They began chanting, “Qabalah, Qabalah, Qabalah!” The speaker continued.
“The ORION Institute offers half-truths. They say the electromagnetic energy grid will bring the world closer together by providing a free resource, but that doesn’t begin to reveal its true potential. The energy grid can serve as a conduit to a collective consciousness, an interconnected state of mind. We in the Qabalah have enjoyed this ability for thousands of years, but Claude Gautier and the ORION Institute fear losing their power if humans are given the gift. I am prepared to demonstrate to those who seek the knowledge.”
One by one, Alliance members stood before the clone and conversed telepathically while witnessing breathtaking scenes from the Qabalah’s memory. They were moved by the experience and offered their unquestioned allegiance. The clone spoke again to the crowd.
“Human brain waves are similar to radio waves, transmitted at the sub-atomic level. By piggybacking a signal within the electromagnetic energy grid, humans may share consciousness as we do. You will truly understand each other, achieving an unprecedented level of harmony to establish the one-world order. You will ascend to the next level of evolution!”
The Alliance joined forces with the Qabalah. They attached small transmitters on each of the electromagnetic energy devices within the fifty major relay stations. The Qabalah gave specific instructions not to activate them immediately. They said time was needed to calibrate the devices.
As the Qabalah requested, the conscious-sharing devices remained inactive when the final stations of the energy grid came online. The whole world celebrated the new energy grid and applauded the ORION Institute for initiating the project which produced a virtually unlimited source of clean energy. It seemed Claude’s dream of a more peaceful world was nearing reality.
But peace quickly turned into conflict as the Qabalah secretly instigated dozens of international conflicts. They spread false intelligence reports which claimed nations were trying to disrupt the energy grid of nearby nations.
Iran prepared to invade Saudi Arabia. India and Pakistan were on the verge of war. North Korea sank a South Korean trawler, and China destroyed an American submarine.
The world was on the brink of chaos within weeks. Peace and tranquility which had been promised by the Institute was falling apart. Internet chat rooms claimed the ORION Institute was responsible for the unrest to make the world more dependent upon them.
The Qabalah knew that if the conscious-sharing device was activated, the immediate effect would be peace and calm around the world. They would be heroes and use the people’s gratitude to launch their own plan of world domination.
The device was activated.
Dan was developing a computerized scheduling program for Claude, becoming frustrated because he didn’t understand what Claude wanted. Suddenly, it hit him. He knew exactly what he wanted and why.
After completing the work, he rushed toward Claude’s office. The first person he passed was a student he didn’t know, except he remembered every detail of her entire life, and she knew him the same way. They stopped and began talking like long-lost friends. Their bond was more intimate than identical twins.
Dan found the same shared memories with everyone he met. It was the most wonderful day he had ever experienced. He never imagined such a sense of belonging.
World conflicts melted away overnight. Virtually all murder and violent crime ended. Everything belonged to everyone. The word “family” is pathetically insufficient to describe how close people felt. Within a week, the word “I” had no meaning. Only “we” existed.
Dan missed Haley and the other Prophies at first, but they seemed distant and cut off. They were the only five people on the planet who weren’t part of the new reality. In less than a month, Dan could barely remember them.
Even though the Qabalah wasn’t part of the unified consciousness, people felt gratitude to them for creating the connection. They had no way of knowing the Qabalah stayed detached for a reason.
---------------------------------------------
Brain waves can be manipulated and altered, much the same as digital information on a computer. The Qabalah established a link to manipulate thoughts within the consciousness. With a few simple memory and attitude adjustments, the Qabalah had complete control of everyone on the planet, except Haley and Dan’s former friends. If they could find a way to destroy Haley, the others could be controlled.
---------------------------------------------
It wouldn’t be easy to kill Haley. She was the most advanced genetically engineered being on the planet. They had tried to assassinate her before, but she detected their presence. She could visualize more interactions than the QBIFI. She was virtually untouchable, but the Qabalah had a plan.
There was one person close to her without any Nina Nizhoni DNA. One person she couldn’t detect. One person she trusted and who could deliver the fatal blow, Daniel Naidoo.
