Chapter 427: Options for W-Dimension Category #2

Friday, July 25, 2008 (Continued)

Before I started describing the Grand Tour of Refuge, I categorized my family circumstances across the W-Dimension as follows:

1. I am alive and well, with up to thirty two minds.

2. I had been alive and well, but I'd told my families that I was going on a Voyage of Discovery.

3. My body died in either the Casino Kidnappers' basement or the CIA's underground lab.

4. I suicided as a depressed kid, either in the bathtub or menswear store.

5. I remained alive and single-minded, or in a very few cases, dual-minded or newly eight-minded.

6. Mark Anderson, and often his entire family, never existed.

I've already described some of the many ideas that appealed to me enough to make my To Do list for the dimensions in general (visiting aliens, Kram's priestesses, etc.), and how I broke the news of my ascendancy and godhood to those families in Category #1. I'll now move on to describe what happened in the other categories.

There are only five dimensions in Category #2 - those in which I told my families, "I'm going on a Voyage of Discovery" - and their situation has a much greater urgency than for the other categories. So much so that I started taking action immediately I saw my loved ones' emotions in my proximity sense, only seconds after I acquired my godhood (thus, this chapter is starting chronologically earlier than for Category #1). I have acted so quickly because those families of mine were suffering because of two causes:

First, and not particularly urgent, they were suffering from the pain of my leaving. My departures were recent and the emotional wounds still hurt them, so it was wonderful to suppress the bystanders' noticing when I suddenly appear in front of each of my loved ones. I had planned to announce, "I might have been wrong when I said there wasn't a way back," but in most cases there was too much squealing and kissing for a while. After the first expressions of surprise calmed down, they urgently phoned each other to tell everyone else that I was back, making them surprised again when they learned that I was back several times over. That made them VERY curious, and was my opening to start my explanations to them. I jumped them to our hilltop home (I hadn't discovered the planet of Refuge yet), leaving a mind behind in each location to render innocuous the memories of everyone who'd witnessed my arrivals and my loved ones' departures. Once we were all together in our home, I got them all excited again by showing them that my Voyage of Discovery had discovered how to be a god. I gave them heaps of reassurances that I really could take care of their problems (I already had thousands of minds researching what was causing my families to be so unhappy).

The second and main reason I acted quickly is one that makes me very glad that I'm so powerful now: my families in this category are in deep and very worrying shit with the Government. Mom especially was noticeably thinner - and she hadn't been overweight to start with - I suspected from all the recent worry. After the Guardian Angel and I departed, several groups of people got increasingly troublesome. The religious, media and some other groups could be ignored initially, but the lack of divine retribution encouraged the Government to start expressing interest in my families, and the ever-stupid, ever-intrusive, legally powerful Government could not be ignored. Its intrusiveness started cautiously, but by now it has turned into a real threat for my families. Not for any longer though! Because the intrusive assholes didn't ignore my families, they will very shortly be praying for God to ignore them, but that's something they haven't got a snowball's chance in Hell of being granted. The assholes have made my five sets of families' lives a misery, so I'll be making the assholes' lives a misery in return, although the amount of misery they'll experience will be severely limited by the brevity of their remaining lives.

The House of Representatives Special Committee on Resurrections was the first Government group to get nosey after I left, probably because they weren't obviously threatening, but the Committee is the least of it now. Several other investigations started: into the angel's attacks on military bases, into the civil disruption caused so many times in Washington DC, into the deaths the Guardian Angel caused, into the nature of the angel itself, and anything else the five Governments could use to persecute my families and as a reason for subpoenas and warrants to search through and seize everything they wanted. Three of the Governments have even started legal proceedings to get back all the money they paid us for their breaching the settlement contracts they willingly signed and repeatedly broke. Archangel Michael and the Guardian Angel greatly embarrassed the Government several times, and that embarrassment has turned into anger. That the Government was caught acting illegally so many times has to be blamed on someone, and who better than the victims. That slimeball Bush is right at the front of the persecutions, desperately eager to turn around the damage to his reputation caused by his previous fuck-ups with the three forms of angel (Majestic Countdown, Archangel Michael, the Guardian Angel), and his agencies' repeated illegal actions against my families and me.

Of my five voyaging departures, the first three were seven or eight months ago, with the two most recent being just over two months ago. In the first three cases, the Government's arrogance has returned in full force and is being exercised with open aggression backed by an effective media campaign to get the public to distrust, hate and fear my families. So many branches of the Government are pushing the media bandwagon, with a lot of religious people already jumped onto it, that the general public has become convinced that something terribly underhanded must have been involved. The public's suspicion is deemed confirmed by the several escalating Government investigations. Various very noisy lobby groups are demanding those escalations and no one effective is arguing for restraint. The absence of any comeback from a Guardian Angel or other supposedly divine source has fully emboldened the Government in the first three dimensions, and is doing so in the last two dimensions that I left. If I don't intervene - which I'm damned well going to after I finish reassuring my families - I expect the path the five Governments are on would lead to their criminally prosecuting my families for several major crimes, and their being found guilty in order to make the Government seem innocent. That every one of the angel's attacks on the Government were in response to its repeated illegal actions is something that has been totally buried under political bullshit.

As one indication of how bad it'd got, I'd been a shoo in for the Times "Person of the Year" in the dimensions I'd been resurrected in. I had 'won' in the last two dimensions the Voyager had left, but only because those Government's campaigns against my families hadn't got up to full speed soon enough to prevent it. In the first three dimensions I'd Voyaged out of, there'd been howls of protest from pretty much all the religious people in America even though "Person of the Year" isn't actually an award. It goes to whoever is judged the most influential "for better or for worse"; Hitler and Stalin were chosen in appropriate years, for example. Its not being an award had been a distinction too subtle for Christians to grasp, and they'd been howling for my rejection ever since my nomination had been made public. They'd howled so loudly that in first three Voyaging dimensions they'd forced the Times to delete me from the nomination list, even in the dimension in which the public had thought I'd single-handedly saved Washington DC from being nuked by sacrificing myself to God.

Speaking of God, He had also been on the Times' nomination shortlist, but the religious people objected to that too because an ever-increasing number of Christians believed that everything I'd done had been the work of the Devil and demons, starting right back with Majestic Countdown's initially secretive leaks (to gain credibility for himself), and Archangel Michael's appearances in his clearly demonic trousers (OBVIOUSLY the Devil would have a big cock; that alone was proof of Evil! In retrospect, I'd been foolish to do that). Millions of idiots now believed I'd never been resurrected, but that Ron Fisher's gang had been taken over by demons for their alley fight and subsequent disappearance. A very common theory was that the gang had been conducting a demonic ritual in the alley, which had gotten out of control to let the demons loose on Earth, starting with a frenzy of bloodletting and then possession of the survivors' bodies. When 'Ron' had resurfaced, he'd really been a demon. Ron's being Black had made that theory's acceptance even easier. The religious theory was that Mark Anderson had never been resurrected, all that had happened was that the Ron-Demon had changed shape "as everyone knows demons can easily do."

The mainstream Churches hadn't yet made a definitive statement about this new interpretation of events, but they were clearly much more supportive of it than the opposite possibility. Bush had no doubts, and he was loudly claiming, "Everyone knows I would NEVER have allowed Homeland Security to kidnap an innocent citizen, so those agents must have been demonically possessed. Agent Moran's death was obviously his final battle against a demon; that's why none of his shots hit a physical target and why there was no forensic evidence of an intruder." That Moran's death had occurred a few days before the gang had summoned the demons was a theory-invalidating logical impossibility, so Christians ignored it.

There is an increasingly strong belief that everyone in my families is a demon. As quick as politicians are to blame someone else - which is VERY quick indeed - Christians are even quicker. In addition, because Christians are sure God is on their side and they're doing Right, many of them have even less regard for the law than politicians - which is VERY little indeed - so the Christians don't just blame but also condemn and then try to send back to Hell. That had been attempted a few times already, fortunately intercepted by our guards.

With the legal, social, religious and other shit that's being thrown at my loved ones, you can imagine how horrible their lives are now. This is why I am acting so rapidly in these dimensions. The Anderson family has had no way of escaping the persecution, and nor do the Williamses in any practical sense, but Ava and Nevaeh could have fled from it. That would have been especially understandable in Nevaeh's case, as she wasn't as emotional or financially attached to us and most of her families' friends were religious and were putting more and more pressure on her parents and her. Both girls had stuck with us though, a decision which had to have seemed dangerously impractical until my reappearance.

Generally speaking, and despite the jokes made on the subject throughout this autobiography, I don't want to be the Emperor of the Earth. It's not that I don't want to get bogged down dealing with all the minutiae, because I can create as many minds as I need for that, and could even change them so they enjoyed dealing with minutiae. It's simply that the job is so full of crap that none of my minds want to be exposed to it. I could keep my Emperor minds' experiences out of the super-network, as I do for bodyguards and house minds, but my desire to wall the Emperors off is better interpreted as an indication that I need to think of a better solution. It does need some thought, because I can think of several reasons why I should become Emperor of the Earth, or something like it:

• To STOP the abuse being directed at my families. I'm with them now to cheer them up and then get their opinions on what I'm intending to do, but unless they object strongly enough to change my mind, I am very shortly going to be giving their persecutors some VERY heavy, unmistakable lessons. I'd been frustrated at my inability to respond properly all the previous times the Government had behaved unacceptably: the DHS's intrusiveness and kidnapping of me, the CIA's torturous experimentation on me, the FBI's surveilling our property with the van, attic camera, UAV, and planting of bugs and gas canisters in our home; the Government's changing the law to steal many multiples of $215.9 billion from us; Cheney's CIA-led and increasingly intrusive "Surveillance Problem"; and the Government's lies about all of the above, especially their very recent lies and disgustingly self-serving (NOT country-serving) public campaign to imperil my loved ones. Many times in the past I had wanted to grab hold of the President and make him rue the several days that he'd repeatedly broken his word or done the dirty on us, but I hadn't had the power to do that safely back then. I can do that with impunity now and I'm very much looking forward to it. Not just out of frustration about the past and anger about the present, but also because I've decided that far too many people are irredeemably nasty and stupid. My actions on these Earth should have left them in a state of wonder and happiness about God's involvement. People should have taken that attitude and used it to make Good changes, but instead, the self-serving politicians had dirtied everything. Before I left on my Voyage, I made a big deal out of telling everyone that God would keep an eye on my families after I left, but people couldn't just carry on nicely; they had to get themselves worked up so much that they started fucking my families over. There was no national merit in their attacking us like that - the nation would have been better off working to fix the types of corruptions Majestic Countdown had so often revealed - but the politicians, and the Christians too, just couldn't stop themselves tearing my families down. I will permanently remove the fuckwits who have angered me so much, and that's such a large proportion of the senior people in Government that I might as well take over.

• I suspected the Williams family would view my being Emperor of the Earth as an educational experience for me. It doesn't suit my personality, but that's because I'm weak in some ways, which I should learn to overcome. [I could directly edit my personality, but I don't think that's ideal. Life is about the journey rather than the destination - especially because I don't think my life will ever reach a destination - so I want to experience my personal growth and learning. If you think about it, you'll realize that editing my personality for those sort of changes is largely a redundant exercise anyway, because if I'm aware of a personality flaw well enough to risk editing myself to fix it, then I am already most of the way toward overcoming it naturally.] It might be a very good idea for me to closely manage a few Earths to see how well I can do it. Seeing as how I'm shortly going to be eliminating the leadership of one major government in five dimensions, I might as well keep kicking butt until I've taken over these five planets, making these dimension my test cases for my being a hands-on Emperor.

• My disillusionment with democracy is motivating me to replace it. It has some good points of course, but it's a failing system in America because it's too self-serving for both the voters and the voted. That's been fine for a long time and still is fine in smaller countries because greed is a great motivator, and the "greatest good for the greatest number" has usually been good for a country. But the cost of being greedy is rising too high and neither the public nor the politicians want to admit to those costs. It's the jackasses being led by the jackals. The jackasses are useless with complex, long-term problems and the jackals simply deny such problems exist while they continue to scavenge after their own interests. Even only a few decades ago the costs weren't high enough to matter. Even if the nation had ceased to exist - as countless nations have, quite a few of them in just the last few decades - civilization and life itself carried on, and the recovering countries often bounced back with even more vigor than before. But these days there are things going on which challenge global human civilization and perhaps even human existence. "Bouncing back" isn't possible if either of those "cease to exist". Unfortunately, I have considerable confidence that democracy will screw-up against those challenges. When the screw-ups are obvious enough, the country will eventually be forced to lurch toward a useful reaction, but belated solutions are impossible for many types of problems. Mom and Dad had given me the HARD word about using condoms and had put my sisters on the pill before we started having sex, rather than denying how reality worked until forced to react because someone had become a little bit pregnant. Denying reality for so long that a solution becomes impossible is not only a common human failing, it's the root cause of the collapse of almost every past human society, which should have been a warning to every subsequent society, but somehow never is. Look up "global warming" and half the articles are either denying it exists, or are denying we should do anything about it, or denying that we can do anything about it, or denying that it's our fault, etc. Look up "peak oil" and half the articles are denying that we've reached it yet, or denying that we'll ever reach it, or denying that it matters, or denying that there is any solution, etc. Look up "global terrorism" and you'll find another litany of denial articles. Every global issue is denied because people don't want to even think about them, let alone tackle them. Sooner or later, one of the future challenges is going to be very, very serious, whether it be something as large as global warming, or something that starts very small, such as a bioweapon laboratory that had a little bit of a terrorism problem. Democracy is not a trustworthy steering mechanism when the cost of an accident can be so high, so maybe I can steer humanity better.

In short, I have a theory that the vested interest dominated, dishonesty pervaded, popularity contest that is democracy is past its Use By Date. Democracy would be fantastic if it functioned to choose leaders based on their ability to intelligently lead their country, but that's clearly not what's happening. I'll experiment on it in various dimensions, with my experiment being extreme in these five.

My urgent reappearances in these dimensions have so far just been to cheer up my families. No one else knows I'm back because I tweaked their minds to not notice my reappearance or think my loved ones' departures were noteworthy. I am still keeping my returns secret so I can make very nice surprises out of them; "very nice" for the surpriser rather than the surprisees. Once my families have had time to appreciate the extent of my godhood and what it means, and I've had time to calm down somewhat, we'll plan what to do about all the people who broke the Guardian Angels' previous command. My research has already discovered that a large number of people ignored that warning after only a few weeks had passed without any divine reinforcement of it.

My current angry intention for each of these five Earths is for me to send a few hundred million minds all over the world. I'd write, "especially to Washington DC and the many news providers around the world," but I don't need to do that "especially" as I can easily create enough minds to check everyone. My minds will read everyone's memories and examine the past until I know EVERYBODY who took actions that added to the attacks against my families, either doing it, facilitating it, encouraging it, and perhaps even failing to speak up against it when the person was in a position to do so. The latter group might not be included or punished as hard as the others, or they might - I haven't decided about that yet. I intend to include everyone from the President down to the secretaries who'd typed the subpoenas and a very large number of people in between: all the senators or congressman who'd participated in the persecution, the lawyers that'd acted for the Government, the senior partners of any law firm(s) involved on the baddies' side, everyone from the reporters up to the heads of the news organizations' and networks who fed it and on it, and the religious assholes who had to spew venom because they disagreed with my angels' statements, etc. It'll be a particular pleasure to include the religious assholes because they had a complete absence of good or Good reasons for their attacks; they attacked only because they are weak minded and they feel better about themselves when they viciously attack and literally destroy anyone who has a viewpoint different than their own.

Although my plan is mostly about the people who participated in attacking my families, it'll be interesting to find out from my research how many people defended my families or who refused pressure to participate in the attacks. If Mom let me be a gambler, I'd bet there'd be some but very few such people. However many there are, God will soon be providing them with some reward for their correct decisions, especially if it cost them any trouble or loss.

Once I've identified EVERYONE who participated for or against making my families' lives a misery, God will intervene, consistent with my departing message that He would be checking up on my families during my absence. I will have Archangel Michael openly arrive on Earth and declare that, "God has reached the limit of his tolerance to how Mark Anderson's extended family is being mistreated and attacked since Mark left." God's tolerance will apparently have inconsistent limits across the five dimensions that this will be done in, but no one will know that. Archangel Michael will be VERY angry. He honestly will be; that won't require any acting whatsoever. I imagine him teleporting to where the President is, heaping condemnation on him and literally kicking him in the ass several times. Not only will I enjoy doing that, but it'll also make the Prez see that he and his Secret Service are powerless against an angel full of righteous anger. I'll probably teleport to the Vatican and do the same to the Pope. I have a low opinion of him, and it'll help dispel that insanely stupid demonic theory if I can appear on sanctified ground (using another insanely stupid belief to counter the first).

The email the Guardian Angel had left in central DC when it delivered the W80 there had said, "If Mark Anderson's quality of life is unacceptably degraded, including by deceit, I may kill those I consider even partly responsible." There were several other statements by both Archangel Michael and the Guarding Angel making it explicitly clear that Mark's quality of life included his families' welfare. The Guardian Angel being part of God, and God being an entity that keeps It's word, It will follow through with It's threat. In some suitably dramatic way, Archangel Michael will hand over the list of people guilty of breaking the Guardian Angel's previous instruction from God. The list will be headed up with, "At noon on August 2, the following people will appear on the White House lawn where they will be executed for directly disobeying God's command to leave Mark Anderson's extended family in peace." Every person listed will have a little comment alongside their name specifying in what way they broke God's commandment, e.g. "Jane Smith, secretary, typed subpoena against Andersons." On the list will be the President, his parents and all their descendants, with their note saying that the Bush family tree is included in accordance with the Guardian Angel's statement that they would suffer this fate if President Bush broke God's command again.
