Some of you will have
seen the live lecture I delivered last year on the terrifying possibility of
real zombies in this world. If not, watch it for background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/ben-emlyn-jones-live-at-truth-juice.html.
There has been another update on this situation, it has just
been featured on Mindset Daily by my
colleague Joe Dunn, see: http://www.mindsetcentral.com/archives/14681.
The US Department of Defence has joined the CDC and Bristol City Council in
drawing up a contingency plan on how to deal with a zombie apocalypse. The
document that has been obtained by news agencies is not classified and freely available
in the public domain. This thirty-one page pamphlet has been given the catchy
title of CDRUSSTRATCOM CONPLAN 8888-11
Counter Zombie Dominance Operations (U) and is dated the 30th of April 2011 . There is a disclaimer in
the opening which states that the reason such a
"completely-impossible" (sic) scenario was chosen was in case the
general public saw a more feasible fictional training plan and thought that it
was real. Based on the other evidence I've been studying, see the background link
above, I dispute that; it could well be a double-bluff. The document may be
unclassified, but there will be those involved who will know the disclaimer is
false, while others who are uninitiated into the document's true mission interpret
it literally. The stated purpose of the plan is to preserve "non-zombie human
lives", to establish a vigilant defensive condition aimed at protecting
human lives from zombies; there will be established a hierarchy of "zombie
conditions"- ZOMBIECONS or Z-CONS, so that troops will find it easier by
operating under a system of predetermined standing orders depending on the
condition set. Another purpose is, if necessary, to conduct military operations
to eradicate zombie threats to human safety; according to the instructions of
the President or Secretary of Defence. A secondary objective is to aid civil
authorities in maintaining law and order, and also preserve the public services
infrastructure during a zombie pandemic and in its aftermath. The document also
categorizes different kinds of zombies, and this is where it gets really
strange. "Pathogenic Zombies" are those created by a disease of some
kind, "Radiation Zombies" are people who become zombies when exposed
to electromagnetic or particle radiation, "Evil Magic Zombies" are
the more traditional kind, engendered by malign supernatural phenomena, and
"Space Zombies" are aliens which resemble zombies. All the above
exist in current fiction and mythology, but this pamphlet branches out into
completely original areas; unbelievably there are "Vegetarian
Zombies", zombies which only eat plants; and they therefore pose no direct
threat to human life, but can be a hazard if enough of them exist to consume
farm produce, like a plague of locusts. The most grotesque category of all are
"Chicken Zombies", undead barnyard poultry which become reanimated
after being gassed. The document goes on to explain the legal implications of
killing zombies because the law must officially denote them as non-human before
military operations can be taken against them. After all, in the film Night of the Living Dead one of the
characters is shot dead by another who mistakes him for a zombie.
As with the other scenarioes I address in the background
link, this document contains many elaborate details that are exclusive to a
theorized zombie pandemic situation and it's hard to see how their
contingencies could be adapted to any other eventuality, or whose skills
emerging out of the training could be applied elsewhere. Alternatively, the
entire document could work on a completely higher coded level of information;
this is a concept I detail in my lecture. Either way, it's extremely worrying. I
think we've come across a governmental plan related directly to the CDC and Bristol
ones; the disclaimer might therefore just camouflage. Some Skeptics, like the
radio show host Rebecca Watson, claim that the document is indeed coded, but
coded because the enemy in this case, signified as the zombies, refers to a
current ally, maybe Canada, see: http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=487643&u=47283&alert=3.
Military strategists do create contingency scenarioes based on very radical
transformations of the political order, including friends becoming foes and
vice versa; fair enough I suppose, seeing as this has happened a lot in
history. In which case coding would be necessary not to cause a diplomatic
scandal in the real world. However the Department of Defence already uses code
for such fictional training packages; the word "orange" is a common
tag (Clancy 1996), but it may refer to a nation which is currently not hostile
to the USA , or
ever has been. This story has been treated as a novelty by the media, but I
think it should be taken seriously and we should be concerned. We now have multiple
political and social institutions in at least two countries that are publishing
official literature featuring zombies in a very ambiguous and only a mildly
tongue-in-cheek way. Combined with this is a raising of the profile of zombies
in the fictional media and the relocation of the National Bio and Agro Defence
Facility from Plum Island , New York Manhattan , Kansas
