Broken Symmetries: Age of Illuminati (16 page)

This made
Young Nimrod
very angry because he had to take on a lot of risk to keep the project secretive. He spent a huge amount of money to keep the mouths of lab members shut and to continue working on something so controversial, and he even needed to pay for a professional assassin to execute one of the lab members when he found evidence that he was intending to inform the media about the project.

Young Nimrod
was the kind of person who never used swear words, but the failure reports he received that day after all the years and effort made him shout and swear. “Stupid neuroscience!” he shouted while hitting his desk. “Every science field advances exponentially except neuroscience. This field advances like a f*cking turtle!”

That day he wandered around thinking about what to do next, after all, many years had passed since his initial plan. He thought he would be able to start copying his brain into the minds of many people by now through the specially designed new helmet, but he was still at step zero! What made his day worse was the fact that the Collective Consciousness staff had already reported to TNARK’s committee that they were successful to bio-print the brain tissues of two insects into another insect’s brain, and the resulting insect behaved similarly to what they expected from their design. They promised that within the next three to four years, the Collective Consciousness project would be a reality for human brains too.

That was not good news for
Young Nimrod
because he still hadn’t spread his thoughts and ideas to the people. ‘I’m still nobody in this big world, and the majority of people don’t share my high ideals!’ he thought. ‘If I do not do something within a couple of years, TNARK will produce a heartless selfish super-human who will never look back into the past sufferings! I need to do something soon. I can’t entrust my plans on un-invented technologies related to the brain and neuroscience because these two science fields are very unpredictable and advance too slowly.’

While he was wandering around his office thinking deeply about his next step, at that moment, he peeked through a set of books on his bookshelf. There was a copy of the holy§cript! Surprisingly among so many books he had read, the holy§cript was the only famous book that he has never read from cover to cover! In fact, he didn’t even remember when and where he got the book. ‘Oh, probably Media Rozhgar brought it here,’ he thought to himself.

From desperation,
Young Nimrod
took the holy§cript down from the shelf and began to read page after page, chapter after chapter. He realized that many stories and phrases in the book were already shared by the minds of so many people around the globe.
Young Nimrod
felt he was peeking directly at the contents of the brain of the majority of people without using any brain imaging technique, and all of this by just by reading a book!

After reading more than half of the holy§cript, he suddenly paused as if he saw a light, an idea that could save him from failure. He immediately realized that he was looking at the details of his next plan! ‘How did I overlook this book for so many years?’ he asked himself. ‘According to the clergies, this is the only book you need, yet I deliberately ignored reading it!’

Young Nimrod
was now convinced that with some luck and determination he could achieve this new plan within a couple of years because the technologies required for this new plan were already invented. They just required some modifications. But first of all he needed to educate people more about the end days and its signs as described literally in the holy§cript, so he wrote a movie script about ‘
the rise of the Antichrist
’ and sent the script to a famous movie director in Holywood with a large amount of money to fund its production by himself and make it a blockbuster hit within a couple years.

Chapter 24

Lee Shark the 45 year old Chinese billionaire was the CEO of the biggest and most revolutionary 3D printing company by 2060. He had three degrees in various academic and business topics including marketing, technology, and psychology. In his later life, he went on to become a successful merchant and entrepreneur, and his academic knowledge about marketing and psychology made him read customers’ mind. He knew what made people buy products, so he first invested in what he thought could be a hit product for the next century, the general purpose 3D printer!

Through his many successful investments he had made a great fortune, but his crowning investment was in 3D printers, and his company gradually became one of the biggest 3D printer suppliers around the world. The company he owned re-invented the 3D printer. Now they could print everything from small household objects to living tissues just with the click of a button. Large 3D printers also made easy-to-build, cost effective bridges, houses and buildings.

With his large fortune, Lee Shark was among the big funders of TNARK project. When Neil Baron proposed his idea about changing planetary rotations for some planets in the solar system, making them suitable for human life, Lee promised to build a large number of houses or even cities using his 3D printing facilities if science was ever able to make any planet in the solar system habitable for human life.

       Many people considered him an idol and inspiration, and his TED talk was very popular and inspirational. Here was a man from a moderate income family going through a lot of life troubles to finish college, earn three subsequent academic degrees then become one the richest men on the planet!

Lee’s contributions to alleviate pain and poverty on the planet were immense, and using his 3D printers he built many houses to shelter refugees for free. He built artificial rivers using a specially developed 3D printer that dug burrows in the ground through reading a digital map illustrating the paths and the branches of the river course, and this technology changed many desert lands to green and productive fields.

In his latest TV interview, he said that he was currently working on a big project which would solve many of the world’s problems, and he promised to do what he could to have a positive impact on life on earth. “We need to think of ourselves as gods. If we do so, our self-confidence will increase immensely and then we can achieve the impossible,” he used to often say during international conferences and TV interviews.

Chapter 25

Ericson was driving his black Toyota in London when he noticed in his wing mirror a white Land Rover following him! ‘How did they know I’m in London!’ he wondered. ‘Stupid Interpol must be aware that I know they are following me!’ He was very irritated with Interpol as they had increasingly stalked him recently. ‘I need to do something; I need to get a lawyer soon,’ he thought. That moment he saw the traffic light at the next intersection turn yellow, and he thought if he could get through the light before it turns red, he could leave Interpol’s car behind and disappear from their sight. He pushed the gas pedal forcefully and sped up as far as he could to pass the traffic.

The next day Mark heard the unexpected news from Agent Roger as they met in his ICPI office again. “Ericson was killed in a road traffic accident!” he said to Mark.

“How?!” Mark said showing his surprise.

“He went through a red light and was hit by another car,” Roger answered.

“Was he aware of you following him?” Mark asked.

“Unfortunately yes. I think he was trying to leave us behind when he went through the red light,” Roger suggested.

Mark thought for a while as he did not know whether to be happy or not for such news. Deep in his heart he was afraid that his main suspect might not be the one he was looking for, nevertheless, he was confident that Ericson was hiding something relevant to their investigation. “Can we get a permit to investigate his office? I need to get access to all his classified documents as soon as possible.”

Mark urged Interpol to move quickly since the recent investigations after the accident with Ericson’s secretary had led to the conclusion that Ericson had illegally sold and shared classified laboratory research data with someone outside his TNARK project. Recently, police were able to find documents revealing those parties which Ericson had shared TNARK’s latest inventions with them in return for money and among those, someone with a fake ID called
Young Nimrod!

That was terrible news for Mark because it meant that Ericson was not
Young Nimrod
himself. He was just another scientist used by him! ‘I need to act soon,’ Mark thought as he found himself coming back to the start again. He was clueless again about the mastermind’s identity,
Young Nimrod. 
The only clue Mark had was that his main suspect acted according to the prophecies of Abrahamic faith! He tried to read the holy§cript by himself to see if he could uncover another link but he found it difficult to decipher the holy§cript in the way Hast usually simplified the prophecies to him.

Soon he gave up reading the holy§criptby himself and decided to meet Hast again to ask him more question
s
about the end-days prophecies. He hoped that he could catch another clue, after all, Hast was the theologian and he was an expert in the end-days prophecies. Mark picked up his cellphone and called Hast again.

***

Two days later Mark met Hast again at the Sheraton hotel in Erbil. He revealed to Hast that his main suspect for
Young Nimrod
was Prof. Sanders but now he was dead and that the investigations found that he had sold many of the classified brain reading technologies to
Young Nimrod
through the span of several years, “If
Young Nimrod
is the false prophet, what would he need the brain reading technologies for?” Mark asked Hast.

“I think before you can ‘write’ you need to be able to ‘read’,” Hast suggested. “I think he needs the brain reading technologies to understand how the mind works and this would help him to use the optogenetics properly.”

“Hmm,” Mark thought. “So they are all part of the mind control prophecy!”

“I wonder if Padsha Mali, the faith-healer, is the
Young Nimrod
we are looking for?” Hast suddenly suggested.

“That was what I actually came here to ask you,” Mark said. “You told me that Padsha Mali looks like the Antichrist, but who is the false prophet then if Padsha Mali is
Young Nimrod
too?”

“As I said, I think the false prophet could be the AI-revolution owned by Padsha Mali,” Hast said.

“That can’t be true. I investigated the life of Padsha Mali; he was nobody until very recently when we started our investigation,” Mark said.

“Who knows? The Antichrist is the king of mind control, and he has probably made everyone believe that he was a normal guy until recently,” Hast claimed.

“I don’t see a reason why he would do that, and besides, all the data I have indicates that
Young Nimrod
and Padsha Mali are two separate people.
Young Nimrod
is the mastermind,” Mark insisted.

“What if the AI-robot is self-conscious and is now helping the Antichrist?”

“You mean an AI-robot acts on it is own and promotes for Padsha Mali online?” Mark asked.

“Yes.”

“That is unlikely because many of the online posts and videos against Padsha Mali are promoted by someone with fake IDs and accounts links back to
Young Nimrod,
too,” Mark said.

“Really?” Hast was surprised. “Why would
Young Nimrod
promote against Padsha Mali?”

“That is what I want to understand,” Mark said. “Why would the false prophet promote against the Antichrist?”

“I wonder if we misunderstood the prophecies,” Hast said.

“Do you remember any more prophecies about the false prophet and the Antichrist in your theological studies?” Mark asked.

Hast felt he was back to the zero point and started to think deeply again about who
Young Nimrod
might be. ‘He should be a person with high influence, maybe someone rich who has access to information with governmental and scientific institutions. He should also has the ability to fake IDs and track Interpol’s investigation since that would make it harder for the police to uncover him,’ Hast thought to himself.

“Can you urge Interpol to arrest Padsha Mali for interrogation?” Hast said.

“I’m afraid I can’t without evidence. He has a lot of followers by now and owning a special kind of water with healing power is not a crime,” Mark said.

“You have a bigger case here,” Hast said. “That man is trying to instigate an apocalypse!”

“But how can I convince Interpol that he is the Antichrist and trying to turn the earth upside-down? Do you think anyone would believe me without any palpable evidence?” Mark asked.

“I understand and Neil Baron himself thought it was impossible to bring the sun from the west unless building hugely insane thrusting engines all over the earth,” Hast said.

“If someone is currently trying to build these thrusting engines then he can’t hide them and everyone would know about it,” Mark said. “The entire process requires lots of time and lots of workers.”

Hast thought about that point for a while then he suddenly paused! “What if he was using large 3D printers which can build anything without too many workers in a very short time?” he asked.

When Mark heard the word 3D printers he suddenly realized the plausibility of the idea. “That could be possible because I have heard that the new generation 3D printers can print anything imaginable, no matter how large, provided you put enough amount of the necessary elements into their tanks,” Mark said. “I wonder if Lee Shark, the CEO of the biggest 3D printing company, is involved?” he suggested.

“Actually, Lee Shark could have been a perfect candidate for the Antichrist himself,” Hast said.

“Why do you think so?” Mark asked.

“Well, he is rich, smart, and he is able to control minds with his convincing speeches. That is why he is usually invited to TED and other important international conferences.” Hast continued, “What is more is that he doesn’t hide his ambition to be like a god and also encourages others to think like they were gods!”

“But you said the Antichrist is blind and he is not” Mark said.

“He is blind to the truth,” Hast replied.

“What truth?”

“The truth that there is only one god, ∞Illuhim∞, and no one can become like him,” Hast said.

“Then, what holds you from saying that he is the Antichrist?” Mark asked.

“As I said, according to the prophecies, the Antichrist comes from Babylon,” he replied.

“Maybe one of his ancestors descended from Babylon, or maybe he is the false prophet who helps the Antichrist?” Mark suggested.

“Maybe,” Hast replied as he began to think about other famous and powerful people who were rich and could have access to both TNARK and 3D printing technologies.

“Kogar Shervan was also …,” Hast started saying but before he finished Mark eagerly interrupted.

“Could you repeat the name?”

“Kogar Shervan, the previous governor of Shinar Land,” Hast repeated. “He was also very obsessed with 3D printers and he used it for many projects in the region during his rule.”

That moment Mark sensed a thrill going through his body, as if he had found the last piece of a puzzle, but at the same time felt furious as he remembered what Hast told him about the Antichrist’s mind controlling abilities. From that moment on, Mark couldn’t un-think the possibility of Kogar being the
Young Nimrod
himself. ‘But why would he hire me to investigate the identity of
Young Nimrod
if he is
Young Nimrod
himself?’ he asked himself. ‘Did he want to see what an Interpol investigation lead to through me?’ Mark remembered the emails he was receiving from Kogar throughout his investigation asking for more updates about
Young Nimrod.
‘I was so silly trusting him blindly and updating him about my investigation progress! If he is
Young Nimrod,
then he now knows how far Interpol is from his suspicious activities through me!’ Mark concluded.

“Do you think Kogar comes from Babylon?” Mark asked Hast suddenly.

“That is quite possible,” Hast said. “He comes from Shinar Land, and Shinar is geographically very close to the ancient Babylon.”

“So do you think he could be the Antichrist?” Mark asked.

Hast was surprised by Mark’s question but also found it intriguing. “That is an interesting conclusion, but I wouldn’t like to think of Kogar as the Antichrist,” Hast replied.

“Why?” Mark asked.

“He was a very good governor, and people loved him. He was also very honest and after his wife died, he promised not to marry again and to my knowledge, he has kept his promise so far. It’s been ten years since,” Hast said.

“Mind control,” Mark reminded Hast.

“Sorry, what do you mean?” Hast asked Mark to clarify more.

“We have been controlled by him,” Mark said.

“What makes you jump to this conclusion?” Hast asked curiously.

Mark turned to Hast to reveal the truth, “He was the one who instigated this investigation”

“Did Kogar employ you to investigate
Young Nimrod
?” Hast said.

“Yes,” Mark replied.

“And now you think he is the
Young Nimrod
himself?” he asked.

“Yes unfortunately. I think he was tracking Interpol through me!” Mark said.

Hast thought for a moment then turned to Mark as if he had found another clue leading to Kogar, “He is also the founder of zanzor.com, the social media which uses a helmet to read users’ emotions. If you are right, that will answer why he needed the brain reading technologies from Prof. Sanders.”

As Mark navigated back through the electronic correspondence with Kogar, his suspicions grew more intense. He turned to Hast, “I’m sorry to involve you in this, but I think for your safety you should opt out from the investigation from now on.”

“Are you kidding!” Hast protested. “If Kogar is
Young Nimrod
, then he already knows about me, and there would be no point for me to back down now, besides I’m interested in uncovering the truth even more than you are.”

Mark knew he would get this answer. Hast was a man motivated by his religion to act selflessly and who believed in a higher aim which was to save people from the Antichrist!

“OK then,” Mark said. “I think we need to act before Kogar knows that we know.”
