When the governments of most of the nations of the Western world advise their citizens to prepare for an unspecified emergency, pay attention. 33 nations, including the United States, have advised their citizens to stockpile food, water, and other essentials for periods ranging from several to 17 days. In addition, it's become public knowledge that the US Department of War has ordered American military bases to take necessary steps to be able to operate self-sufficiently for up to 90 days. That not only means sufficient food, water, and fuel, but to be able to generate power and operate off grid. To that end, the military is looking into the use of modular nuclear plants that can power bases so that our military is not dependent on the civilian power grid. The obvious question is this: what in the world do our elected officials know that we don't? What are we preparing for—war or pandemic? Being prepared is a good thing because life often involves surprises, like weather events that can lead to extended power outages. and empty shelves at grocery stores. But when several dozen governments all issue instructions to prepare at the same time, we have to wonder whether our elites know something (or are planning something) that we should know about. For your reference, here is the page at the Johns Hopkins University website describing all of the tabletop exercises during which participants had to respond to either a pandemic or bioterror event: https://centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/tabletop-exercises Meanwhile, elections in Israel have resulted in no clear winner. Neither the pro-Netanyahu nor the anti-Netanyahu blocks have received enough seats in the Knesset to form a government. Unless one side or the other is willing to make a deal with one of the Arab parties, Israel may have to vote again in six months. Here in the United States, the midterm elections are Tuesday. Polls project Democratic victories in both the House and the Senate, but we remind you that polls here typically overrepresent progressives. Finally, with the new Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus Zero, coming out next week, we discuss a disturbing animated series titled Godzilla: Just Pray that we watched yesterday. It's a different take on Godzilla, and it presents his main enemy, Ghidorah, as a three-headed saraph. We think this depicts a scenario similar to one that may emerge during the end times, when a supernatural being presents himself as either the Messiah or one who leads to the Messiah.
