Frightening scenario - the end of the world

@Realist

All those games are just a covert way to recruit young people into the armed forces and thus eventually into the enforcement wings of the coming one world government. They will be motivated by wanting to get out of a broken economy which gives them little hope for a decent job, and by the fantastic range of weaponry and vehicles that the military forces offer. It’s everything they’ve seen in games, but now for real ! All great fun . . . until the real bullets start to come their way.

Hello? Testing! testing! Which planet are you on ? Does everything have to be a conspiracy with you? You are nuttier than a Tesco fruit cake

Well you can;t really get away from the facts.

Back in the 70s/80s the popular games were adventure games like Space Quest, Police Quest and fantasy RPGs.
These were games that made you think. Not button mashing moronic affairs.

At some point everything changed and software compabies began churning out first person shooters and since then that trend has continued. You can look back at all the games for the past 10-20 years and find that 75% of them are FPS games, pretty much all the same just different environments. Lots of weapons and just shoot stuff mindlessly, no thinking involved, no real challenge, just kill.

Interestingly in the last 5 years or so this has begun to change slightly with the influx of Survival games. Still first person shooters essentially but now mingled with apocalyptic scenarios where you also have to scavenge for materials and food, survive zombies or other marauding parties and kill anything that is a threat to your survival.

That’s how it is.

Kids are being steered into this mentality, and it looks pretty purposeful to me.

On the topic of those games here’s an article to read:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/mar/18/video-games-propaganda-tools-military

[i]"During a televised confession on Iranian TV, alleged US agent and former marine Amir Mirzai Hekmati said he had worked for Kuma, and it was a CIA front company.

Though his words cannot be regarded as the unvarnished truth, publicly available government documents indicate that Hekmati had been a Kuma employee, while Kuma’s CEO, Keith Halper, admits to taking on military work. If his words are true, Kuma\War are only one of a number of bloody titles produced under varying degrees of military aegis."[/i]

And so unfashionable, the proper accessories are a must and can make an outfit notable.

Actually, if you soak it in warm water for a while, let it dry and give it a quick going over with a wire brush, you can get most of the flesh off. Brains are usually the hardest part to remove.

Oh, I’d have thought that skin and tendons would be more difficult. Brain would just slough off with a light rinse.

Of course, you’d like to leave the blood stains as they are, so that it looks more scary.

Even if there are chav zombies moving into ones neighbourhood does not mean that standards must slide, my tailor does some excellent outfits for survivors and upper class zombies, they are not cheap, but they are worth every penny.

@Realist

Actually, no, it won’t happen, well certainly not in the way the article proposes.

If we were 100 years in the past then yes perhaps but today, no not a chance.

Why?

Because for many years now the powerful elite with all their wealth and resources have long since built MASSIVE complexes underground that go down for many miles.

We are not talking mine shafts here where people would be stooped over. We are talking tunnels high enough and wide enough for articulated lorries to turn around in.

In these complexes you can be sure that they have masses of equipment, machines, vehicles, diggers, farming/agricultural vehicles plus of course countless numbers of military vehicles both land and air.

Their technology is already way advanced of what is released to the general population. They will have energy sources that will keep them supplied indefinitely, much of it likely based on Tesla’s work.

And of course, they will have plenty of military weapons, ammunition and medical supplies.

So when this apocalypse happens, these privileged few will be safe and snug in their underground cities waiting for the time to emerge.

I will also say this. I don’t think any apocalypse will be accidental or natural, save that an asteroid hits the planet. Any zombie apocalypse virus will be man made and likely designed to reduce population numbers. It’s also plainly clear to see how the Western population, both young and old has been brutally and purposefully dumbed down in the last 10-20 years. If we went back to the WW2 generation I would hazard a guess that some 95% of women would know how to make a good loaf of bread and would do so regularly. I guess also that over 50% of men could have done the same.

Today after brainwashing the population with X-factor, soaps and other moronic diversions, I would be surprised if more than 35% of women could make a loaf and more than 10% of men. It’s sad to see how the Western populous has been driven so far from Nature.

Anyway, the point I make is that no apocalypse will occur as the article suggests. After the initial population cull, the elite will emerge with their stored technology, vehicles, food, medicines and military power and quickly resume control. They have all the seeds for plants and flowers stored up and will set agriculture off again (though of course they won’t be getting their own hands dirty doing that).

For everyone else, yes for a period we will have to fend for ourselves but it won’t be for years and years. Only whilst the initial turmoil is over and the military move back in to take easy control.

I kinda like the zombie apocalypse,option.don’t know how,but if it does happen it would be man-made.

Are you people real?

@Rehab44

I think I’m real, but you’ve got me thinking now. Perhaps I’m just a figment of my imagination.

[Rehab44]

Some of the above posts must be a figment of their imaginations…zombies…actually existing or the US government capable of producing a disease capable of doing it…‘hello?’…
And massive underground hideyholes for the ‘elite’ … yeh right! I accept there are bunkers for the leaders so that they can still order more nuclear weapons to be fired well after we have all been fried…

I blame their parents.

You miss the point sadly. It’s just terminology. In a world where a pandemic occurs (and they have done in the past), anyone suffering the virus or condition is the “zombie” and everyone else has to steer clear of contact with them in case they catch the virus from them. It doesn’t mean they are reanimated dead bodies with strips of flesh hanging off them. They are simply humans, with a terminal virus or contagious condition who are going to die and who will affect anyone else they come into contact with.

@Rehab44

the US government capable of producing a disease capable of doing it…‘hello?’

This comment is so naive that it doesn’t warrant a full reply. There are biolabs across the globe replete with deadly viruses and bioweapons.

@Rehab44

And massive underground hideyholes for the ‘elite’ … yeh right!

Yup, they do. They go miles underground and they are many miles wide. There’s also a seed vault in the Arctic where strains of plant, herb, flower, vegetable and fruit seeds are stored for when global disaster happens to ensure we will still be able to regrow those varieties.

@Rehab44

I accept there are bunkers for the leaders so that they can still order more nuclear weapons to be fired well after we have all been fried…

Right . . . so you believe that these powerful wealthy people will just have built a tiny bunker maybe the size of your local supermarket filled with computers and comms equipment (and presumably the odd toilet) so they can orchestrate military activity and you equally think they will happily live and exist in such a tiny place for years after nuclear holocaust? Really? lols

Wake up man.

No seriously, Wake TFU !

[Rehab44]

No seriously…let’s have a few links, not the ones from your nutty conspiracy sites, give us some real facts from real and reputable sources…I won’t hold my breath
On the plus side you do make me chuckle.
