Feeling Morbid?

Post by hobbit »

I'm 65. I still say I'll see a nuclear exchange before I die.

Just when you thought it was over, back by popular demand, Barack Hussein Obama brings back the Cold War. My kids and grand kids thank you. NOT!!!!!!

I believe we will see war or large scale terrorist attacks within the borders of the United States before the end of this Presidents term of office. This will cause Martial Law to be invoked in the US and cancel Presidential elections.

Don't believe it? I didn't believe a handful of Sand-My Mom has sex with Donkey's could kill over 3,000 Americans in New York City either!

Sadly, I cannot really disagree with you.

Should a nuclear weapon be detonated, no matter where on earth, the consequences will destroy the US way of life that we have enjoyed for a century. Even if this nation is untouched by such a weapon, the financial and legal effects will be incomprehensible.

We may yet live to see a collapse of civil order.

I did! But it was 1800' underground. I went to the Nevada Test Site in 1988 out of morbid curiosity. There were 8000 people gathered there, mostly demonstrators, but a lot of people like me who were just curious. You can't actually get onto the Nevada Test Site, which includes Nellis Air Force Base, so demonstrators have traditionally grouped up adjacent to the site along Highway 95 near Indian Springs, which means you're anywhere from 15-60 miles from the actual underground blast sites. Nevertheless, they said afterward it rattled windows in Las Vegas, more than 65 miles away. I definitely felt it. As a California boy, it felt like maybe a magnitude 5+ temblor. It gives you pause for reflection, that's for sure.

I'm in the same boat living outside of Philadelphia and well within the blast radius of the local nuke power plant.

Playing around with it, I'm far enough outside ATL that unless they detonate one of the 50MT Russian devices downtown, I would be good-to-go. Except for the resulting zombies of course...
