FEMA Planning 'Zombie UFO Crash' Disaster Exercise

FEMA Planning 'Zombie UFO Crash' Disaster Exercise

David Lory VanDerBeek, who is running for Governor in Nevada in 2014, recently posted a screenshot (below) from the FEMA website of a supposed Zombie UFO Crash Disaster full-scale exercise drill planned for April 27th, 2013, from 9:00am to 5:00pm.

According to his website NevadaGovernor2014.com, the exercise was planned in Moscow, Idaho involving 100 participants. However, after VanDerBeek posted his article about the bizarre exercise, he claims that FEMA pulled the page down and replaced it with a statement that the information is now “only available to coalition members.”

He then contacted Sandy Rollins, who was listed as the contact person for the drill event, with the following message:

Because this drill is supported by federal funds paid by the taxes of the US people including the citizens of Nevada, you are required to provide the public with precise information about your activities in this drill. I expect you to respond within the week with an email with the detailed information regarding the two scenarios mentioned. I also expect the email and phone number of your immediate supervisor. Whether or not you cooperate, I will be reporting your response or lack thereof to the nation on my television show and youtube channel.

Why is this important? Because it raises serious questions about what our government believes about the fundamentals of our human reality. Do the leaders of our nation believe in UFOs and zombies really? If so, what is their proof? They must have proof in order to spend money on drills? If they have proof, they must provide it to the general public? What is the threat? How imminent is it?

I always get stuck playing the part of the first responder. It's fun, but I want to be a zombie alien just once.

2. Yes, and in zombie alien attacks, first responders are first to get it.

It's no fun playing a cadaver in these simulations, except the ghoulish make-up one gets to wear.

But, you're right. The zombie alien role has got to be more fun... at least until the troops with the FEMA death ray roll up.

to help FEMA personnel react to unexpected dangers? I mean, you can only do the earthquake and hurricane drill so many times before it becomes the same each and every time. It's throwing them a curveball.

8. Yes, and it gets more of the community involved, as well as more of the professionals, if it's fun.

Clearly, neither citizen involvement or fun is something a conservative candidate can support.

It's a no brainer.

I think it is safe to say he won't be the next governor of Nevada

this whack-a-doodle has done left the station aboard his Crazy Train a long time ago, and he is *definitely* "going off the rails on a crazy train", if he hasn't derailed somewhere already.

How do we keep our children away from these kind of batshit crazy People???

But when my friends and I are discussing Zombies, it's with a definition of:

The types of individuals that will be circulating through cities, towns, and neighborhoods in the event of a social collapse. Whether caused by economics, environment, or

UFOs!
