Death, Famine, War, and Conquest.

These are the four horseman of the apocalypse as named in the book of Revelations in the Christian bible. Prophesied to be released with the opening of seals when the world ends, unleashing hell on earth.

Unfortunately the bible is wrong. John, the asshole that wrote it all down, was drunk, or high, or both and fucked it up. Because of his mistake, the end of the world prophecy had to be altered to support these four characters that he drunkenly penned in.

It was supposed to be the four whores of the apocalypse, and their names are Dorothy, Felicity, Wanda and Connie.

At the time the book of Revelations was written these woman did not exist. The original plan for the end of the world specified that they would be born when they were needed. Since woman did not have the same status as they do today, and considering they will be human, John swapped them out for much more dramatic ghostly horsemen.

The word apocalypse comes from a Greek word that translates to ‘pull the lid of’ or ‘to reveal’ something. John was on the Greek island of Patmos smoking imported hasish at the time he wrote this book of invented revelations. This explains the fantastic imagery and beasts he imagined and added to the story.

Maybe John’s fuckup was caused by divine intervention. The events described in the book of Revelations reduced to made up bullshit that will never happen. This ensures that the end of the world will be a total surprise for everyone. Sounds to me like a god had a hand in this whole mess.

The end result was something that struck fear into the minds of believers. Exploitable fear for their souls that benefitted church leaders and governments for thousands of years. Believers were easily manipulated and influenced to willingly make huge sacrifices. They burned woman that practiced healing or displayed scientific understanding as witches, denied themselves much so they can tithe and stay in the good graces of the church. All the bullshit became religion, and at times this religion decided the law. Eventually the whole thing broke apart into various sects facilitating its growth and it spread like a virus.

Many far away tribes received the gift of salvation and smallpox from missionaries spreading their make belief nonsense. The history of Christianity is well documented. Some estimates put the number of souls that died because of Christianity at 700 million.

Jesus John, you fucked up royally!

Prophecy has a way of becoming fulfilled, no matter how badly it is understood or altered over time. The four whores of the apocalypse were born within a few years of each other, they grew up, went to college and each rose to the very top of their chosen fields. For decades they lied and fucked and labored to grow their reach and influence.

Wanda helped to build the modern military industrial complex we all revere and bow to. We happily give it our young to be trained and sacrificed in endless wars in the name of freedom. Not our freedom, but the freedom of commerce. We even finance the whole thing gladly with our taxes.

Felicity oversees a global food conglomerate. This organization carefully controls the genetically modified seeds that grow into food for humans and feed for livestock. They meticulously control the fertilizer, pesticides and the markets where all these consumables are traded to maximize profits for their faceless shareholders. They bankrupt small farmers with legal action, ruin the credibility of scientists that speak out against them, and turn a blind eye to famine in countries that do not have desirable markets.

Dorothy controls a global pharmaceutical concern that includes companies that produce vaccines, insulin, antibiotics, pain medicine and a host of other products needed to manage the symptoms of disease. Managing disease is so much more profitable than curing it. This group operate secret laboratories in third world countries that design new viruses, or create new ones from old friends. All for scientific research of course, not to create new markets for future vaccines. Anyone that says differently will have to deal with Connie!

Connie is the world’s darling. A friend to celebrities and world leaders alike. Her life’s work brought global media companies together under a single umbrella, orchestrated by AI, this AI developed and controlled by her and her army of lieutenants. They control the news and decide what goes viral and on which platforms. They expertly suppress or discredit news that do not support their narrative. This group include companies that create and maintain legions of basement dwellers and couch potatoes with a never ending supply of video games and streaming services.

Ever since they formed an alliance Dorothy, Felicity, Wanda and Connie get together often. Between the four of them they have the world in their laps.

The war machine clears the path for the food machine to establish new markets, while the medicine machine soothes the aches and pains and anxiety of old and new consumers alike. These consumers subliminally programmed by the media machine to desire and seek the processed food and content being served. Their minds led down paths chosen for them. These powerful women willing to do whatever it takes to grow their kingdoms.

Death, Famine, War, and Conquest. Dorothy, Felicity, Wanda and Connie.The four whores of the apocalypse.

The world as we know it is coming to an end.
