I thought today I would try to find any sensible group that has looked at preparing for a nuclear war … now that there is a realistic possibility of one.
The result of this search is that I found:
- Lots of articles about the cons of nuclear everything by Scottish this and that
- I found many articles about “cold war” “nuclear secrets” such as bunkers
- I found a fascist book group of “preppers” based in Scotland … who failed the first test of common sense preparation, which was that they using fascist book. Anyone who knows anything knows the last place anyone should look for useful information on contentious subjects is on manipulative censoring fascist book.
- And I found several links to articles on this website, which was rather disconcerting.
That means, unless there is a sensible discussion on the “Scotland preppers” or whatever they are called on fascist book, I seem to be the only person in Scotland who has seriously looked at the subject.
Which begs the question: Should I, knowing as little as I do, offer myself as an “expert”?
But then reality hits me. What covid showed, is that in such a situation, government will consult the worst possible people (SAGE) and the result is that the response is the worst possible response. Why would I want to be part of the worst possible response?
Fortunately, the reality is that despite being the only person in Scotland I can find who has done serious research on the subject, I am highly unlikely to get consulted or influence government response.
So, whilst I might (reluctantly) offer myself to “help” … I am not expecting that offer to be taken up. Instead I will not be doing anything except my own and my family’s preparation. Which, to be fair, at this stage, is not a lot. It’s a plan to start doing something … at some future point in time … a bit like a New Year’s weight reduction resolution … except my plan will definitely start when certain conditions are met.
