NO, REALLY: GOVT WARNS OF 'ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE'

Excerpt: "Tongue firmly in cheek, the government urged citizens Thursday to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, part of a public health campaign to encourage better preparation for genuine disasters and emergencies. The theory: If you're prepared for a zombie attack, the same preparations will help during a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack."

There is one guy who actually works with the guy behind this effort, and I'll throw in a couple of his reasonable quotes defending this campaign.

How come I get this feeling the government is taunting us.

The government may seem to be joking, but they really aren’t. They are really telling people that have to be self-sufficient because the government is not truly prepared to assist the citizens in a nationwide “unusual occurrence”.

Besides, there is a hierarchy on who gets saved and who doesn’t. Guess where the average citizen fits in?

*

Strange. The basic prep for surviving a zombie apocalypse is food and water, medical supplies, guns and ammo, LOTS of guns and ammo.

Why would a branch of the federal government with the fedgovs open agenda of citizen disarmament even jokingly make a suggestion that people arm themselves for the eventuality of dispatching a massive number of threats?

Am I the only one who finds this somewhat odd?

And by “zombie”, they mean “hoards of formerly welfare dependent MUY who’ve been cut off and are seeking sustenance from the suburbs”.

*

The first thing I thought when I saw this months ago was “I wonder if they realize how zombies are dealt with in movies and games?” followed quickly by “I wonder what caliber they recommend?”

*

"That entire agency is loaded with lesbian zombies. "

 

Actually, the entire agency is loaded with bright, motivated, dedicated Doctorates and Masters who genuinely want to improve health. While there are, of course, a few strident leftists scattered among the group, the vast majority don't give a whit about politics and are working very hard on their specialty: Whether it be diabetes or athsma or cancer research, or preventing outbreaks of catastrophic new viruses, or radiation detection and mitigation.... the list is endless.

These are hardworking, dedicated people who actually care. Of all the Federal agencies I have ever seen in my life, this is the first one that is actually worth a damn.

There are Zombies, just not the kind from George A. Romero films. And they have been fed from the Government’s stash for years now.

Recent events show (Flash Mobs, OWS, etc) we have a large entitlement minded population that is violent prone and armed. I think that during a collapse you will see many small businesses wiped out by flash mob looting, and once started it will quickly spread to rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. You will see what I call ‘pocket pogroms’ and if you ain’t ‘Amish’ you better not be around when they come.

Many of these ‘zombies’ will think no more about killing you to get ‘stuff’ than zombies in the last horror flick and do it just as gruesomely as any of the worse scenes in those same movies

*

This warning is issued while multiple federal agencies are stocking up on hollow point ammo.

All silliness aside, be watchful for president choom and his media to start something before the election.

The panic that ensued from the 2008 market crash got ozero in office. Of course mccain helped, but this go round, ozero has the full force of the federal government behind him.

Definitely a 'scare'; almost a 'dare'.   They are 'shaping' their Constituency. . .

*

“Only a year or two ago they labeled preppers as borderline terrorists. What prompted the change?”   They aren't talking about actual preppers. I read the info. they had. They say prepare for “a couple of days”, giving you time to go to a “refugee” center.   I'm prepared for most anything but I would live in a cave and eat questionable berries before I would go to their “refugee” center.

*

With any luck, maybe I will run one of the 'refugee centers'.

Then I get to decide who lives and who dies.
