Let's
pretend, just for the moment, that this is a hypothetical
question.
Let's
pretend, just for argument's sake, in the comfort of your own
easy chair, in front of your own big screen TV, just a few
easy steps away from your favorite, anxiety-reducing snacks in
your refrig, that this is just an academic exercise in
geopolitical and psychological speculation, a polite
brainstorming session that imaginary participants might
conduct if certain coincidental worst case scenarios were to
come to pass ... all at the same time.
And let
us acknowledge, in the calm certainty of our own typically
secure routines, that any resemblance of this imaginary debate
to actual persons and events living or dead may not be purely
coincidental.
OK? Got
it? Pretend it's hypothetical. Just for fun. Then let's
begin.
Are you
ready for World War Three?
What
kind of pathetic paranoid poppycock is that? What IS this?
Another Y2K drill? Much ado about nothing, I
think.
Remember. You're pretending it's hypothetical. You
agreed.
Oh, all
right. Let's see. Mmmmmm .... of course I'm not ready. Nobody
is ready for World War Three. You CAN'T get ready for
that.
What
will you do when it happens?
Sit
here and be vaporized, I guess. What could anybody
do?
So ...
does that mean you're not ready?
Of
course I'm not ready for World War Three! Is anybody ready for
World War Three?
Yes, I
think there are some people who are ready?
Oh
yeah? Who?
Well,
three types of groups, at least. First, there are the people
who are already victims of major wars, the people in
Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Colombia, not to mention
Burma, the Philippines, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Congo, and certain
other countries, people who are already scavenging in
often-radioactive garbage dumps just to make ends meet; many
of their relatives or children have already been killed by
invaders, and they're just living hand to mouth, not caring
whether the food they eat or the things they find might be
radioactive or not, because when your expected life span is
only a few more weeks or months, you don't much care about
those things. Survival becomes a day-by-day operation. If the
superpowers who have these weapons destroy themselves by using
them, that would be good news for the folks routinely diving
in dumpsters.
Second,
there are the people who plan and wish to execute nuclear
wars. They have already built themselves secure bunkers miles
beneath the earth's surface. There are many in the U.S. and
Europe. They figure they can ride it out, and they have a new,
secret technology that actually detoxifies radioactive
contamination, but they're keeping it under wraps until after
the Big One so then they can come out when the coast is clear
and continue making scads of money doing two things: cleaning
up radioactive rubble and repossessing real estate whose
owners have been obliterated, are slowly and agonizingly died
of radiation poisoning, or simply have scampered off to more
hospitable climes.
Third,
there are the people who saw it coming and had the foresight
to move to remote locations in the Southern Hemisphere. As
long as widespread nuclear explosions didn't trigger a pole
shift, those in the lower Southern Hemisphere would be
relatively safe from the nuclear winter that will follow World
War Three and render the entire Northern Hemisphere completely
uninhabitable. The winds in the world are pretty much
hemisphere specific, so that the winds that blow around the
world in the Northern Hemisphere don't cross over into the
southern, and vice versa, although with the magnitude and
volume of these explosions in all-out nuclear war, there is
bound to be some crossover.
Humph.
Sonofagun. You have this all worked out, don't
you?
What
will you do when it actually happens?
When
what actually happens?
When
World War Three actually happens.
How
will I find out about it?
Well,
there are several ways you could find out about it. If you
lived in an urban area like New York or Beijing or Cairo or
Teheran, you'd probably find out about it when you saw a flash
of light brighter than anything you've ever imagined, but it
would last for only a millisecond and then you'd see nothing
ever again. If, like most people, you lived in towns
moderately close to these cities, you'd probably feel these
humongous thumps and wonder why your house was disintegrating
all around you. If you lived way out in the sticks you'd start
to see these radiant atmospheric flashes, feel relatively
gentle ground tremors, and then in a few hours you'd see a
smoky blackness creeping toward you from the direction of the
cities that would grow blacker and blacker as the hours
passed. Depending on each person's individual perceptual
skills, it would be a matter of minutes or hours before you
realized you would never see the sun again, because you will
never survive the abject cold that would be produced by the
sun being blotted out for probably from five to 15 years,
except, as I said before, in extremely lucky places in the way
Southern Hemisphere. Didn’t you ever wonder why all those
Israelis are buying up huge chunks of real estate in
Patagonia?
You
mean I won't see something on television and be able to
briefly feel a pang of remorse about someone else being killed
far away, and then be able to put it out of my mind so I could
watch Monday Night Football with my usual intense
focus?
Not
likely. Here’s a variation on the initial question. What would
you do if you got information that you really believed and
trusted that World War Three was about to start in a few
months? What steps would you take to prepare
yourself?
How
would I know I could trust the information?
Well,
you’d hear it from the sources you always trusted. Your
newspapers, your TV, maybe even from some particularly
reliable Internet site.
But
would I believe it? Would I be willing to give up everything
I’ve worked for all my life, and just bolt into the wild blue
yonder because I read something some journalist, no matter how
well connected, might have just dreamed up?
Well,
let’s say you had an inside source in the secret government,
and he told you about the plan. Let’s say you regarded it as
having the authenticity of all those insider stock tips he’d
given you over the years that had made you a bundle. Someone
who could discourse effortlessly on Masonic kingpin Albert
Pike’s 1871 prediction that there would be THREE World Wars
and final one would begin in the Middle East and erase both
Zionized Christendom and Islamic world in one mighty stroke.
And someone who had scary connections with alphabet
intelligence agencies.
Yes, I
see. What would I do? Hmmm.
Would
you run, or would you try to alert others?
Oh
dogbiscuits! You know what it’s like to tell people that you
really know what’s going on, and that they don’t. They think
you’ve got marbles rattling around in your brain, and they
just ignore you, at best. At worst, they call Homeland
Security and the men in the little white coats with the large
guns show up at your door. At least, you become socially
ostracized for not going along with what everybody else
believes.
So
which would you do?
Well, I
guess I’d try to find out if the tip was real or not, and if I
determined it WAS real, I’d try to alert the most important
people I know to see if they could do something about
it.
What
would make you decide if the tip was real or
not?
Well,
our best sources are on TV, I think. At least that’s what
everybody believes. Most people don’t believe something is
really real unless they see it on television.
So
you’re saying that what you see on TV is actually
real?
No, I’m
not that naive. I know stuff that appears on the news is often
shaded by those who own the TV networks to inflict the spin
they want to put on most world events. Hell, that’s how we got
in all those wars.
So what
if someone on TV, highly reputable, came on and predicted
all-out nuclear war? Would you act on that?
Probably not. I wouldn’t believe him.
OK, say
you were certain of the tip you received being real. Then what
would you do?
I’d
call the police, then my congressperson.
And
what would you do if they all said you were nuts? And then
they said they knew who the bad guys really were, because they
had this evidence that they couldn’t really tell you about
because of National Security, but they were going to nuke them
all to smithereens.
I don’t
know. Cry? Or run into the street screaming.
OK, one
more question. If you had the power to impact a large number
of people and the money to arrange some effective plan of
action to the catch the people who were planning to use
nuclear weapons, and you were certain that they were going to
carry out their plan on the basis of at least 50 years of
continuing atrocities perpetrated against innocent people
which they later blamed on completely innocent patsies, what
would you do ..... ?
