TENSE: FUTURE PERFECT

Dateline: The 1st July 2025.

Salutations sisters and brothers.
This is Rainbow Salam with another hourly bulletin from the GBN the global blogg network. On the hour, every hour with the news you know you can trust.

Today marks an auspicious occasion. The European Union enlargement incorporating as full fledged members the republics of Latvia, Lithuania, Belorus and Ukraine. This marks the completion of the European unity with the entire continental Europe united.
The European union recevied a shaky start, with many questioning over twenty years ago the feasibiliy of such a union. The prosperity and economic growth convinced even the most ardent critics of the benefit of staying the course.

In other news, the space elevator in the Equtorial Congo is nearing completion. Funded in its entirety by African Union investors, the ACE (African Central Elevator) is the first of such installation to come online. Industry analysts predict that with the commisioning of the new orbital lift facility, space industry is going to boom.
Virgin Galactic shares have plummeted as the result of the predicted fall in space vehicle demand.

In related news, the Australian Space Agency is expected to purchase a fleet of Virgin Galactic liners with the view of upgrading the transportation system to its long neglected Outback colonies on the Moon. The Australian PM, Greens Mr. Brown was apologetic for the late upgrade saying only that with the decreased tax base and the burden on the reparations for the original landowners imposed by the UN, luxuries like regular bus connections to the outlying moon colonies needed to wait.
The Minorty liberal party leader Senator Colon immediately made the claim that this financial incompetence is so typical of the past ten years of Green government. He further went on to say that Australia had become a heaven for global cappucino drinking socialists and the true blue dinkum spirit is now dead. This view was largely dismissed by most moderates, with the leader of the New National party leader speaking from her algea farm in Mare Imbrum colony saying that the upgrade was a necessary to maintain the standard of living in the remote Australian areas. Further commenting that if neglected the colonists might start talk of independece.

Fears of Data storm has been put to rest with the introduction of a new data discriminators. For the past two years, media doyens have been predicting a catastrophic event in the data saturation degrading the usability of the net to pre 2010 levels. Such a performance hit was predicted to cause catastrophic economic failure of the information based economies of today. The new Data Discriminators feature self contained artificial intelligence software borne from the alliance of human technology with the nascent Californian Silicon Distributed Intelligence (CASSI). A result of the United Nations granting nation/person status to CASSI have pushed aside the last obstacles in utilising AI (aritifical intelligence) software in every day devices. Civil libertarians have already raised the spectre of exploitation but many commentators dissmiss such claims on the grounds that CASSI will evolve past our sphere of interaction. Certainly the latter analysis seems correct given that volume of new patents lodged by CASSI which is approaching asymptotic.

Student strikes in North American Union have been ended. The Strikes started when the Northam Union senate passed the long floundering bill mandating compulsory Univeristy Education. The leader of the conservative Republican party Senator Hassan Al Faruk was quated to say; 'In this day and age the Northam alliance can not afford the youth of today not to be educated if we are to maintain the competative edge against the CASSI and other mechanicals'.

Rumours persist of the Mars colony separatists gaining popular support. The Mars colony, established barely 15 years ago is booming with cream of the Earth industry, science and adventure seekers taking up the attractive incentives. Tsolkovski City, the Capital of Mars colony is a hive of activity with gross national product exceeding 200 billion Euros. Far in excess of the the combined industrial output of NAU and EU. Traditionaly stoic legislatures of NAU and EU have become uncharacteristically beligerent in their posture. If the Mars colony does indeed become independant as many see as fate accompli, the European and American unions will lose a sizable revenue base. The United Nations is expected to mitigate heavily the approaching dispute. Secretary General of UN, Sara Stanford has gone on record stating full UN involvement in the process at the same time assuring the public that UN inspectors found no evidence of Mars Space armaments as was alleged by some NAU comentators.

The leader of NAU terroris cell "The Alamo" has been arrested and is expected to be subjected to an extended councelling and therapy stay at the Guantanamo bay sanitorium. Guantanomo Bay sanitorium, build on the site of the infamous camp from the Terror wars by apologatic US public was due to be closed down due to a marked decrease in radical terrorist groups. Terrorism was largely pushed onto the back pages in the last decade by addressing the poverty, the root cause of discontent.
In addition the military industry profiting from perpetuating the conflict and fear has been refocused on the immensly more profitable space colonisation. In this changed landscape, the few remaining terrorist groups have been dying off due to lack of support.

In business news, shares of Ambrosia pharmaceuticals, the monopoly maker of life extending drug Ambrosia have split for the 10th time, making it the largest ever capitalised firm. Ambrosia, though expensive is purchased in bulk quantities by most governments after the Age abolition riots of the 2010.

The Macrosoft investement fund has once again been indicted on charges of tax evation, fraud and crimes against humanity. Though expected to be successful, the case is expected to drag on for ten years or so. Macrosoft is expected to use its previously successful method of long trials to mitigate the outcome in its favour.

Han Co., the global Chinese manufacturing megalith corporation has declared another successful year, riding on the back of another eco-upgrade to all household and transport appliances. The revenue is expected to be distributed to the shareholders, sparking financial markets fears of renewed global inflationary preassures.

Peace, Love, Profit and Happiness brothers and Sisters.
