I put on a doomer cap today - here is the result.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Y2K Satire : One Thread

Got up this morning, said "what the heck", and put my doomer cap on before I got out. Here is my report on how things look with a doom cap on.

Driving downtown, I noticed an awful lot of white vans running around - might be signs of a UN presence. THEN - confirmation - the road crew has put up a sign for AIRPORT INFO - tune radio to 1610. THE SIGN WAS BLUE! This is a clear tipoff - the UN TROOPS ARE COMING! Moreover, my car radio only tunes to 1600 - special radio needed to get this 'broadcast'. MORE PROOF. Then I turned RIGHT AFTER THE SUSPICIOUS ROAD WORK CREW - and went NORTH. New signs here also - for an INDIAN MUSEUM. AHHA - these signs are BROWN! They are not typical road signs at ALL. AND THEY HAVE NUMBERS ON THE BACK OF THEM. I followed the signs to the so-called museum. IT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM A POWER PLANT - AND JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM AN OIL REFINERY!!!

Their plans are now obvious and well laid. The UN troops will land at the airport, and TAKE OVER THE 'MUSEUM'. They will reroute all power from the power plant to their area - and SHUT OFF THE REST! Y2K will get the blame. THEN - they will take over the refinery and SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY. OR, they might just destroy it and send toxic clouds over the city - again, Y2K will get the blame.

ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. I KNOW IT IS. MAKE YOUR PREPS. STAND TALL. -----------------------------------------------------

Just a point here - all the facts - signs, road crew, position of museum and power plant, etc. in the above are true. The doom bit is pure fantasy - just like all the rest of it.

I'm quite surprised you did not notice the contrails overhead... or the Nigerian handicraft store (obviously a cover for ECOMOG troop activity). Perhaps a re-tuning of the antennas on that tinfoil hat is called for.
