It is almost seven years since Armageddon commenced. Presented to the American public as the final nail driven into the coffin of terrorism, U.S. President Shrub Walker declares a unilateral, "preventive" war against Persia, setting off 450 nuclear bunker-busting devices to destroy that nation's atomic facilities. Walker first shapes the intelligence to fit the policy. It is an undeniable pretext to dupe the public. Shrub then sets out on a mission to deliberately bypass the War Powers authority granted Congress by the Constitution. His ignorance is also staged to cover his complicity, for the war plans are drawn years prior by left-over Nazis embedded in government -- calling themselves "Project for U.S. Hegemony" (PUSH).
YEAR 2006 Persia retaliates with massive terrorist strikes throughout Europe and North America. But first, Persian commandos take out major oil facilities and refineries in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Persian Gulf states. The West is left defenseless without adequate energy supplies. In addition, Venezuela signs a non-aggression pact with Persia, which in essence means cooperation in imposing an embargo against the U.S.
President Walker initiates the domino-fall around the globe; military alliances are drawn between Persia and Russia which threaten world security like no other time in history. Russia supplies Persia military hardware to be used against the U.S; the economy slides into major recession.
As the nations are forced to focus on global conflict, the earth's atmosphere heats up at a much faster pace than scientists had previously predicted. Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones wipe out major cities on coasts of the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans. Global warming appears as more than theory as oceans heat up 11 degrees above the 20th century norm, allowing tropical storms to incubate year-long instead of seasonal. Western energy conglomerates can no longer fool the public by bogus propaganda and fake studies intended to sustain profits. The public wakes but too late. Whole species of wildlife become extinct, including the polar bear and salmon.
YEAR 2007 Obviously, the human race is an endangered species as well. And the catalyst to catastrophe is none other than President Walker himself, the man responsible for killing efforts to rescue earth from environmental disaster as well as military conflict. Four-hundred-fifty nukes go off over Persia which spreads deadly radiation all around the world. This added to a planet already dying from the effects of greenhouse gases.
My best bud, Kent, and I watch all these events take place by gathering information off the net, because established media is controlled by corporate giants -- only six of them in all. Our world is coming apart but most of our ignorant neighbors and acquaintances are unaware because they only rely on spoon-fed corporate newscasts and fake preachers.
YEAR 2010 Kent and I are straight, although best friends. We have girlfriends which we fuck on a regular basis. We grew up together in Waterloo, Iowa; went to college together; double-dated; planned our lives together. And when President Walker, who suspends the Twenty-second Amendment after declaring martial law so he can continue in office unchallenged, reactivates the draft, Kent and I enlist rather than face conscription. It's the only patriotic thing to do, we think.
YEAR 2011 Following boot camp at Fort Leonardwood, we head for the frontlines in Turkey. It's in February that we begin to notice a change in our personalities. Is it the radioactive fallout from the initial blasts of 2006? Is it the immunization shots mandatoried by the Army? Did terrorists put something in the water? Is it cabin fever -- being cooped up with guys all the time?
Because Kent and I confide to each another one night there's a newly discovered attraction that we feel toward other men, especially one another, and it wasn't there before. At least, not like that, in the sexual sense. Were we just living in the state of denial all those years? We don't believe so. In fact, we know we weren't like this before.
It's a definite change. I get a hardon when showering with Kent and watching him change at the barracks. Kent sports an erection too when looking my direction. It's incredible.
But we brush it off as something temporary, something out of the ordinary, a phase of sorts.
YEAR 2012 Shrub's 'War on Terrorism' continues. We're now stationed near Athens, Greece. "Insurgents" have taken over the entire Muslim world now, thanks to President Walker's belligerent attitude toward all other governments. Turkey is no longer a NATO member but is overthrown by Muslim radicals. Latin America, too, is fallen to leftists. The U.S. is no longer welcomed anywhere except parts of Europe, Australia and Japan.
China is now the dominant power of the world. Walker's incompetence has led to the decline of the United States, visible to everyone with the exception of FOX News.
The earth's population is now 10 billion -- 8 billion more than she can sustain by the planet's dwindling energy resources and the impact of global warming. Somehow the population has to be downsized in order for humans to survive. But a full-fledged nuclear war is out of the question and would bring extinction, not survival. It would absolutely mean annihilation, not only to humans but all life-forms.
But, ironically, what bothers Kent and I most is that our gay drives have not subsided. In fact, they've increased. We thought about seeking counseling, but that would mean instant dishonorable discharge from the military since President Walker revamped the regulations in 2007. We keep a lid on it. Closet comfort.
But we begin to notice other guys showing attractions for one another. Kent comes up to me after patrol and says, "Hey, did you notice Bill and Randy making out today behind the messhall? I couldn't believe my eyes. Because they were such sexhounds for females."
"Yeah, and I notice other guys showing wood in the showers. Weird! I wonder what's going on? Do you think we've been deployed too long?" We laugh.
But both Kent and I admit to feeling more affection to each other. I confess to Kent one night, "Hey, pal, sometimes I feel I could die for you, I love you so much." I quickly add, "Like a brother, of course."
Kent gives me that knowing look and speaks through his eyes like he knows what I'm saying because the feeling's mutual.
Then we're in shock to notice we have no desire to pick up copies of Velvet, Cheri, Hustler, Victoria's Secrets and other straight mags and porn websites. Instead, we find ourselves reading Men's Health, International Male, and Men's Fitness. What's going on in our heads? Is it just a passing stage?
YEAR 2013 The news finally slips out to the world that human males are being affected by one or more combinations of the following: the environment, hormonal imbalance, nuclear fallout, or the natural impact of overpopulation. The condition? Straight males are turning gay at an alarming rate causing a massive population decrease around the globe. The documentary goes on to say, "In 1959 studies proved male lab rats reverted to homosexuality because of overcrowded, confined quarters. Therefore, an overcrowded planet may be the cause of this alarming trend."
"Hey, this explains it!" I tell Kent.
"Naw, Larry, I think there's more to it than what we see. Because the world's been overpopulated for a long, long time and this never happened. I believe someone's messing with us."
YEAR 2014 A direct effect of the "gay plague" is a rapid decrease in hostility around the world. The U.S., Persia and Russia sign a peace treaty in Paris; troops are withdrawn from bases overseas. As men are transformed to gay, the population drops and focus is made less on defense and more on alternative energy, environmental and social issues.
Shrub Walker is finally thrown out of office in a non-violent coup d'etat instigated by the uniformed Pentagon officials. Elections are reestablished in the fall, and New Mexico Governor Manuel Capistrano is elected by a landslide. Capistrano is strikingly handsome; has boyish good looks and is unmarried.
YEAR 2015 Congress repeals laws interfering with states' rights governing sexual orientation legislation and marriage -- since they were unconstitutional when passed through Walker's puppet House & Senate in 2006-7. The states are now at liberty to write their own legislation regarding the definition of marriage -- which they do. Forty states immediately pass laws allowing same-sex unions. Millions line up to finally get married to their same-sex partners.
The world's economy and ecology are still out of balance, despite the decline of the human population. Gay males outnumber straights nine to one. Females remain unchanged proportionally from polls conducted decades before.
Males born to the species outnumber females five to one. It's fast becoming a man's world -- after all the political correctness of decades before.
The arts and entertainment reflect the change. Almost all porn and erotic art focuses on the male and Hollywood celebrities are mostly male. Male-to-male intercourse is common in "R-rated" movies. Brokeback Mountain was a pioneer in the field.
Men are commonly seen in public showing affection -- holding hands, kissing, and patting on the butt. It's acceptable behavior.
Kent and I are no different. We give up on ever returning to straight-life and go ahead and propose marriage. After all, we do love each other. Sex with women is only a faint memory.
YEAR 2016 President Manuel Capistrano makes a special announcement from the Oval Office the night before the State of the Union. He openly professes to be gay, then introduces his lover on camera. They lock lips which is televised live all over the world. Not many, actually, are offended or in shock. Only a few remnants of fundamentalists remain after Shrub Walker's disastrous reign of terror.
Scientists theorize the gay trend is simply nature correcting itself. Wars have, for the most part, been eliminated; prosperity is returning; the environment is improving. There is the real sense that peace and prosperity are truly taking over.
Kent and I are happily married and settle down in Salem, Oregon.
YEAR 2017 A neo-nudist trend develops in Europe, spreads across the Atlantic to Canada and the U.S., and is finally accepted in Latin America, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. But the trend is not simply "recreational," but cultural. Governments, provinces, parliaments and congresses pass public nudity ordinances -- where they allow it rather than ban it.
Males are seen by the millions walking the streets totally naked, not just on the Riviera or Caribbean beaches. Full nudity is allowed on R-rated movies, including scenes of intercourse exposing genitals and full erections.
The President of the United States is videoed nude at his Santa Fe ranch. Unashamed, he waves to the cameras, his cock and balls in full view. "Hail to the Chief!" Supporters are thrilled by this show of tolerance. The trend accelerates.
Kent and I notice a growing desire to be nude most of the time, except at restaurants and more formal settings. Most people are naked shopping Wal-Mart and malls.
YEAR 2018 Open-fucking is more common these days. Young guys hook up in the parks and hardly anyone objects. Most of the world is male and nude, so in a way, the human race has reverted to the way nature intended. Kent and I are more inclined to open-sex than previous years. No one is bashful these days. We're all the same, right?
Then a report leaks out that the gay transformation is a conspiracy. The power elite in 2007 determined the race would exterminate itself should they be allowed to continue in multiple wars and nuclear exchange.
Thus, they formed a think-tank of leading scientists to devise a hormonal formula to change straight males into gays; hence, decreasing the population and reversing the propensity for warmongering, a male dominance gene. The heterosexual male in the past was responsible for harmful competitiveness which resulted in war. The hormonal solution was released in the water and soon spread throughout the planet. The process took several years, but the elimination of wars and redirecting energies toward survival of the earth are more valuable than retaining the status quo of "normal" sexual relations.
But in 2018, signs are appearing the formula is going too far, like scientists who released the "love-bugs" in Florida in the 60s and released the African "killer-bees" on the North American continent. Now the formula is causing males to go insane with passion for one another.
They've crossed the sex vortex and are now returning to their primate state -- like chimps and monkeys of the jungle.
YEAR 2019 Males now are not only naked, but climb trees constantly, fuck each other outdoors in public, and seldom are focused on business matters. In other words, they've reverted to natural instincts. Language skills are evaporating among males, and since there are fewer and fewer females remaining, it looks like the human race may return to the tropical rainforests of Africa and South America.
Newly elected President Brad Pitt is televised fucking his male lover, Keanu Reeves, up the ass live at primetime. Keanu is the nation's "First Man," for they are legally married.
Kent and I are part of that trend. We've learned to use our feet more, like apes, and seldom speak.
We call what's happened to the race "devilution." We've passed the sex vortex and are now transformed into animals which nature intended. It is the only way to spare the planet.
