I found that this was interesting when I remembered it. Just sit back and think...
In 1994 Stephen King released a mini series called "THE STAND". It was an interesting little series and I watched it. I am a fan of SK and his writing style. Another fun fact is that he is my Aunts neighbor in Maine, yes right the hell nextdoor to her is the King of strange himself, but enough on that.
Now let's recall what happened in "The Stand"...
Strangely it depicts in order
A VIRUS (Could this be the H1N1 or even the variant that we are seeing in the Ukraine?
Next we see that
MARTIAL LAW is enacted. Strangely enough we are seeing that this can happen and that steps are being taken regarding this.
The next interesting thing that we see is that there was a
NUCLEAR STRIKE IN LAS VEGAS. Now why do I say that this is interesting? Well, there was an article that I ran across last night. It goes something like this.....
FEMA Plans Disaster Drill on Las Vegas Strip
Las Vegas is the designated spot for a mock nuclear explosion planned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
FEMA had planned to simulate a nuclear explosion right on the Las Vegas Strip to test for emergency preparedness. But the plan is meeting a lot of opposition from all the key players, including Boyd Gaming, MGM Mirage, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and the LVCVA.
“All of our focus should be on attracting visitors on reasons why they should visit Las Vegas, not inhibitors,” said Vince Alberta with the LVCVA.
LVCVA wrote a letter on behalf of those against the idea saying, “We believe a scenario such as this will generate undue anxiety about visiting or conducting business in Las Vegas.”
Critics say a mock nuclear explosion should happen at a place where the damage would have a greater impact, like the Hoover Dam. But it's a step-by-step process and the first battle won is moving the exercise away from the Strip and over to Sunset Park. But it's not enough. “The biggest request we have is to change the exercise,” said Alberta.
LVCVA says a flood or earthquake drill would be a better alternative over a nuclear blast drill.
FEMA responded by saying, “We will continue to reach out to key stakeholders, including state and local officials, to receive their input as we prepare for and continue to develop this important event.”
The exercise is scheduled for May 17, 2010 and is expected to bring 10,000 people to town.
