Storm clouds hang above a huge moon and 5g cell towers, poking above the waves. Below the waves, in a beautiful refracted underwater dreamscape, lies a city block, with abandoned cars and power lines. Sand has drifted into the curbs and sidewalks and some big fish are swimming up the street, but otherwise it looks almost normal. A large billboard stands above a gas station and a fenced yard full of dead cars--all but tops of the cell towers is under water. The sign advertises "Charybdis all-you-can-eat Buffet."

A Dystopia Worth Avoiding.

A Somewhat Staged Underwater Photo.

The Christian Nationalist-Official U.S. Government News:

Dec 28 2028:

TRUMP BANS SANDBAGS Blue, Pink Hats & Other Liberal Symbols (complete list on page 3). How Are you Celebrating The New Jan 6 Holiday? What To Watch On OAN (One America Network) and Fox. D.O.J. Investigates Jewish Space Lasers-Remnants of Deep State in Space.

OIL & COAL BONANZA!-Thousands Of Acres of Public Land Opened Up “Drill, Baby, Drill.” Faith In Government Section: Johnson Confident “Jesus Is Coming Soon.” There’s Nothing To Worry About.

A city under at least 40 feet of sea water. Sharks swim past a submerged billboard that proclaims "Is Someone You Know WOKE?--anonymous tip line: 555-PAT-RIOT." In the foreground, washed up against a chain-link fence, also underwater, a newspaper headline for "The Christian Nationalist, Official US Government News" screams "Trump Bans Sandbags" and "blue, pink hats and other liberal symbols--complete list on page 3." The second headline, under a shot of Trump spreading his hands behind a podium with the slogan "Rain is Dry Hot is Cool" is the test "Oil and Coal Bonanza! -- thousands of acres of public land opened up. Drill, Baby, Drill!" There's more similarly alarming minor headlines on this page and on another paper floating behind it. "LGBTQ re-education camps break ground." and "Johnson Confident 'Jesus is coming soon'."
“The Christian Nationalist” A [probably staged] underwater photo from the spacerex dystopia.

Nov 2, 2028 (the paper in the BG) We have a copy.

There’s a picture of JD Vance in a yellow tie, giving two thumbs up. MARTIAL LAW, FINALLY! Bringing The Deep State & Woke Mob To Heel. Deep State Agents Are Among Us, How To Spot Them. Project 2025 Christian Values: God’s Will For America-by JD Vance.

ELECTION CANCELLED. Woke Mob Crushed, Curfews Enforced, Organizers Jailed. Faith In Government Section: LGBTQ Re-Education Camps Break Ground. [Beneath the photo of White Jesus] BELIEVE ME. God Before Family, Abraham’s Lesson. “There’s a Pink Hat In Gramma’s Drawer.”

We are gonna go out on a limb here and say that this newspaper headline from Dec 28th, 2028 was probably staged by the underwater photographer. It’s a little too tidy. Not to say that it’s inaccurate, IT IS AN ACTUAL HEADLINE from our dystopian, post-apocalyptic timeline. It’s just that the photographer was obviously trying to make an ironic statement. We do not endorse political art. It’s just what the future us sent us and we need money, so here it is.

While the Trump/Vance Ticket carried the day in our past/your [possible] future we have posted this image here and elsewhere in the hopes that folks will vote correctly. The 2024 US election is just around the corner as of this update.

From our perspective, this happened a long time ago, before Cytostrux, the Belleforest, or Fat Baby Food LTD.
But that’s what we used to call “water over the bridge.” Stay tuned for updates.

Scylla and Charybdis

Being hunted by robots and spiders from the future makes it hard for us to hold down steady jobs with predictable hours. So we have launched a new enterprise—selling limited edition prints! We have vast library of images from our-past/your-future which we are curating and sending back in time through the Spacerex feed! We haven’t set up an online store, as that would open us up to cyberattack. We prefer to meet you in a parking lot where there are human eyes and the safety of pre-apocalyptic meatspace. If you’d like to buy a print call or text our burner phone: six o seven 379-9509 and leave a message (we don’t answer unknown calls) to set up a secret meeting.

Will Dailyrest’s mad skills.

#spacerex satellite transmission, space rex
figure 1.

As Spacerex liaison in the con-temporary United States, Will Dailyrest builds and maintains technology to receive satellite transmissions from the future. He also deals with the prosaic business of earning a living in the 21st century. On top of all that he’s begun ordering prints, entering art exhibits, and doing custom framing for the god-like intelligent protoplasm that lives/will live in the basement parking structure of our building (figure 1.) in the future.

Futures in a Jamb

Yes, these shadow boxes are made from construction debris. This batch, in particular, from old door frames salvaged from a job Will was doing. He left the fresh exterior window glaze unpainted and only-kinda cleaned the glass. We think it’s a concept: Outside-looking-in through repaired but not quite finished windows. It’s a safe-for-now perspective on a diluvian future, under glass and sealed. It pulls at yer brain. It makes you want to open a Museum of Human Stupidity. We could go on (and do), but the work speaks for itself.

The actual prints don’t have SPACEREX.COM watermarks–just the QR code. The watermarks are to keep the Agents of the Consortium of Multinational Corporate Spooks away. Each frame is unique and the prints can be ordered in a variety of sizes.

  • Another detail of the reclaimed wood construction highlights the fresh glaze around the window jamb. It highlights excellent carpentry and newly, and expertly glazed glass. That Will Dailyrest chose to leave the glass smudged by exterior putty at the corners is an intentional choice. It highlights the sense of looking in at the diluvian scene through a repaired, though not quite finished, perspective.

A fire escape looms in the top left, a street on the right. Power lines bow upward and out with the current in a flooded city. The top of a three-story red brick building just barely reaches the surface. A pair of sand tiger sharks is swimming up the street.

About the images:

The important thing is that they still have wireless. It is the yardstick. I mean they had scuba divers retrofitting those towers to work underwater while they were still recovering bodies.

The dead here were mostly sheeple who followed the wrong conspiracies. You can practically hear them shouting from the rooftops “fake news!” or “alleluia!,” as the waters closed over them. There was plenty of time for people with better theories to reach the hills—if not the moral high ground.

Those who got there first, or who took it from those who got there first, generally had weapons and a pronounced sense of entitlement. The Big Correction happened not so much in peaceful underwater towns like this one, but at the shrinking borders and coastlines that the refugees from these lowlands fled to.

Prior to retirement Kali (user M.O.H.M.) was on the vanguard of the cognitive science division of Fat Baby Foods ltd. (FBF). She helped design the process by which actual living memory could migrate to protoplasm and back again. Her early career was with the A.R.K. mission to record the memories and survival instincts of endangered species for reintegration on distant planets. It was here that she met her husband, Ullysses Flynder, who, as a cognitive scientist aboard the ill-fated Belleforest terraforming mission, was one of the first victims of the PBR12 virus. Always a crusader for peace and justice, Kali was best remembered as the whistle blower on Fat Baby Food's development of weaponized corn during Space War One. Her case was one of the first tried in the supreme court of the Quango. Faced with a choice of death or retirement, Kali chose the latter and became one of the first humans to undergo the transformation that she herself helped to devise. As a Mutated Organic Human Memory (M.O.H.M. or "wet chip"), a genetically engineered distillation of a sentient organism into a mollusk-like lump of protoplasm housed in a small container, Kali was sequestered in the first of many beehive-like catacombs, nourished by drip lines, purged through waste tubes, and accessed via skullcap, by old-fashioned bipedal humanity. She existed as an avatar in a virtual prison, complete with all the mechanisms of local prison politics, in the newly discovered country of the protoplasm. Kali was paroled, after yet-another regime change, to an online facility five years later. Then the Lansdowne incident led to a backlash against retirees (wet chips) and all the retirement facilities in the world were essentially turned into off-line prisons. Having lived longer in the protoplasmic state than any other human, and being a cognitive expert, Kali thrived in prison. She organized her own escape eventually and was delivered to her son's custody in the loft building seen here. It was shortly after Kali was finally re-introduced to the internet and put in charge of the building's Safe Dome 6® security protocols, that the building blasted off just before the Apocalypse. Kali now spends her time supporting her son and his clone, who are the last survivors of the human race, in their efforts to infiltrate the past through Will Dailyrest and his cadre, and to change the disastrous course of human history. She is also the webmaster of Spacerex.com.
