'Y2K on Art Bell's show, November 17
asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum
From the Art Bell show of November 17 with guest Jim
Phillips—
Art was reading from a fax he'd received from "a veterinarian
named Pete".
"I have a friend who makes and sells survival tapes. He lives 45
miles from Boise.Their community had a meeting about Y2K
with various people including local power officials there. And he
told me that this official told them they would probably be
without power for three months. He told me about a Border
Patrol agent who bought the tapes and told him that if the power
goes out at the border in San Diego, the Patrol would probably
abandon the border as there was nothing they could do about a
mass of aliens crossing.In addition he had an Air Force general
buying the tapes who, when asked about the military and Y2K,
said China has the largest standing army in the world. Their
equipment is antiquated and would be unaffected by Y2K. They
would probably use the opportunity to take Taiwan and other
areas in which they were interested. North Korea would invade
the south. The US military would be unable to do anything about
this since 40% of our equipment, sattelites and so forth, would be
unavailable. The Japanese would be unable to do anything about
any of this either, no military there. The only option would be
nuclear. We would use that option, wouldn't we?"
(to Jim): Now, that's pretty black stuff… you consider any of
that possible?
Jim: Uh, it's possible, yes. You could take a look at any of the
scenarios and they all could be possible. And, uh, but what do
we do about it? What can we do about it now?
Art: Well.. you.. you know, your approach is… a laudible
approach, to become more spiritual, to have the right kind of
atttitude about what's coming, to acquire knowledge about it and
to then finally, yes, acquire the material things that you're going to
need, clothing, food, water, light, whatever you can manage to
muster… to physically make it easier on you. All of that makes
sense. The only place where I think that you and I disagree, is
about… the possibility of people getting the right attitude and
being nice, spiritual beings during… frankly, I'm going to bluntly
honest with you Jim, and I think that if the power went out for
three weeks, there would be complete anarchy… Do you argue
with that?
Jim: Uh… I must say that's possible. Now if it went out today,
maybe that's true. But, I believe that we need to be involved and
I think part of the message that you're carrying and what a lot of
other people are saying is, that we face some very serious things,
and my question is this, what are we going to do about it. Are we
just going to say, well I don't know, this looks pretty bad, there's
nothing much I can do or we can say what I need to do is dig a
hole and just take care of myself, or maybe we take the
approach that says yes I do need to take care of myself but one
of the most powerful things you can do in helping yourself to be
prepared and be okay is to help people around you. By helping,
I don't mean that you buy things for them and give it to them, but
you help to motivate, inspire and teach and instruct all those who
can listen. Will everybody listen? No, I'm not gonna tell you that
I think everybody's going to listen because I've seen some
people that are not. But there are people who are sitting on the
fence if you will, they really haven't made up their mind, they're
not quite sure if this thing is real or not. And if we can help them
understand this is real, could be very serious, now, get going,
let's get busy, then we can reduce the impact of Y2K.
