The Worldwide Church of all Souls more or less appointed the XYZ Corp to run Earth.
It wasn’t going very well.
Branches and divisions of XYZ were defecting and rebelling. Arab Auto, headquartered in Detroit, was turning out grossly defective Hasan EV SUVs. Their gasoline-powered operation, in Omaha, declared its independence.
US Armed Forces, under the Church, stepped in and stopped a shooting war between the two auto outfits.
High Priest of All Souls, Yasser Goldberg X Reilly, removed the top echelon of execs at XYZ. He installed Malcom X Feinstein with a mandate:
“Fix this mess in two years or it’s off with your head. On television.”
Two years later to the day, a masked executioner took off Malcom’s skull before a global television audience of 3.2 billion viewers.
Money was another problem. The next new CEO of XYZ, Joyce Trans, told the High Priest universal guaranteed income for every person on Earth wasn’t enough to expand XYZ’s consumer base. He responded by doubling the income. XYZ froze all its prices for goods and services. But even with the jack-up of free money, people weren’t hungrily buying products.
The High Priest ordered a land war featuring the US, Russia, and China, in Taiwan. It fizzled out after three weeks. The expansion of government defense contracts to the Global Military Industrial Complex (a unit of XYZ) was only temporary.
The New World Order was turning into a flop.
The High Priest declared a pandemic. Nobody locked down. Almost nobody took the vaccine.
The Vatican Pope met with the High Priest. He threatened the Priest with a shoot on sight order. The Priest ignored it.
XYZ and the American Psychiatric Association issued a joint statement: “There are over four million Virtual Reality addicts living in America. They only buy the essentials of survival. They’ve gone so far into the Virtual they can’t or won’t get out. They live their whole lives there…”
