It is a typical evening in a typical suburban community. At the residence of physician Bill Stockton, he enjoys a birthday party being thrown for him by his wife Grace and their son Paul. Also at the party are Jerry Harlowe, Bill's brother-in-law; Frank Henderson and Marty Weiss, Bill and Jerry's former roommates; and the wives and children of Jerry, Frank, and Marty. Bill is well known and liked by this gathering; he attended the State University with Marty, Frank, and Jerry. Moreover, Bill has repeatedly administered to the health and well-being of each one of said guests and/or delivered their children. Everyone is especially friendly and jovial, even when mention is made of Bill's late-night work on a fallout shelter which he has built in his basement. Suddenly, a Civil Defense (CONELRAD) announcement overheard by young Paul is made that unidentified objects have been detected heading for the United States. In these times, everybody knows what that means: nuclear attack.
As panic ensues, the doctor locks himself and his family into his shelter. The same gathering of friends becomes hysterical and now wants to occupy the shelter. All of the previous cordiality is now replaced with soaring desperation; pent-up hostility, searing nativism, and other suppressed emotions boil to the surface. Stockton offers his basement to the guests, but the shelter itself has sufficient air, provisions, and space for only three people (the Stocktons themselves). The once-friendly neighbors do not accept this; they break down the shelter door with an improvised battering ram. Just then, a final Civil Defense broadcast announces that the objects have been identified as harmless satellites and that no danger is present. The neighbors apologize for their behavior; yet Stockton wonders if they have destroyed each other without a bomb.
Like in The Bunker, In this moment, we are seeing the true nature of those we have spent many hours with before. Under panic, people are willing to accept segregation, wrongful terminations, violating ones right to their body and their medical privacy. We are seeing police obey unlawful orders, and colleagues we have known our lives willing to impose cruel mandates.
Great post Cat_Anon! Thanks for writing out the story.
Some readers of the story may focus on the anger, hate and division between the Stockton's and the guests. After all, they broke into their fall out shelter and wanted it for themselves.
When faced with imminent death, I think most people may do irrational things. It's the most natural of human instincts.
Personally, my immediate thought about this story was that the entire thing happened due to FAKE NEWS. The initial report basically said a nuclear attack is imminent and you're all gonna die!
Compare that to today's news. The MSM and Fraudci have hit the nuclear alert button over and over and over again. From the beginning until now, with the Delta variant (and the Mu coming soon), it's the same old button.
For some reason, the sheep hear the alarm bell and just keep panicking over and over. For the rest of us, every time we hear the alarm bell we are simply reminded how sick, demented, and evil the MSM is, our health system is, our large corporations are, and so on.
The sheep keep saying how dangerous the world is and we must vaccine, must mask up, must socially distance, must work remotely, and on and on...
Everyone awakened can see this ruse so clearly now.
The difference between today and The Bunker is that no one knew the nuclear alarm was a false alarm in the show. Everyone looked out for themselves. But what we have today is a clear schism between those who can critically think, discern messaging, and make well thought out choices, and those who have none of these abilities. The sheep turn over all critical thinking for themselves to the MSM, medical "professionals", and group think.
I am not sure if it is possible to wake the sheeple up unless people like Fraudci are arrested for crimes against humanity. It is exactly why arrests are so important for so many members of the cabal and deepstate.
This is also why I personally feel the MSM and Big Tech are the worst demons of them all because they literally control the sheeple's thoughts and the sheeple don't have the ability to think for themselves.
When the MSM falls, our lives are going to be a lot busier explaining our current situation to the normies.
We MUST remain patient and kind, even though we will be exhausted. WE are the tour guides of the past and to the future.
Buckle up!
Well said!
Most people enjoy remote working, though. TPTB kind of screwed themselves with that one.
Judged by the way people are acting here in the suburbs, the panic has receded.
The voluntary mask count in Wegman's Grocery is falling, not rising. It was around 50% when the Delta Variant Wave of Fear was started, but I think is now down to less than 30%.
And I'm pretty sure almost every single mask wearing customer is vaccinated. Anybody who hasn't gotten the jab by now, is not one of the fearful.
IF I WERE MOD4ADAY I WOULD STICKY THE SHIT OUT OF THIS POST.
Stellar connection OP. I love it. It's not only prudent but the perfect allegory to EXACTLY what is occurring across the 'civilized world'. Turns out ... we are not all quite as 'civilized' as we would all like to believe.
OP ... for the remainder of the day, I here by award you - THE INTERNET.
This story reminds me of "The Parable of the Ten Virgins"
Matthew 25
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
That is spot on!
