PETA Asks Survivalists to Consider Vegan Products
May 25, 2010
Today PETA have issued a press release, explaining how they have sent a letter to Vivos owner Robert Vicino urging him to serve only vegan food in his network of underground 2012 survival mega-bunkers. This follows reports that Vivos has nearly completed construction of a fully stocked bunker somewhere under the Mohave Desert, and PETA points out that “vegans are fitter and trimmer, on average, than meat-eaters and less threatened by leading killers such as heart attacks and cancer.”
“Whether you live in an underground bunker or a penthouse suite, the best way to ensure that you’ll still be around next year is to ditch meat and go vegan,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “By maintaining a vegan diet, the bunkered survivors would be in better shape to adapt to their post-apocalyptic world and would help put an end to the doomsday scenarios that animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses face every day.”
Editor Opinion: The focus of the letter is that vegetarians tend to be healthier and live longer. People buying bunker berths are unlikely to change their eating preferences if they have not already. More than most in the Western world, they have thought much about their longevity, and how to make great efforts to extend it.
In recent times there has been much discussion regarding the inefficiencies of meat production, yet PETA has failed to address the angle that would most appeal to post-apocalyptic survivalists. Where even growing staple crops might prove to be a difficult task, survivors are unlikely to waste their supplies of grain on cattle. And even if they did farm animals, factory farming post-2012 would also be unlikely. It seems unlikely that PETA have investigated this any deeper than a publicity grab.
Police Raid 2012 Cult Compound
May 20, 2010
There is no better way to create conflict with local authorities than to hoard weapons. A compound belonging to an Australian chapter of a Christian sect was raided yesterday:
About 90 police searched 12 properties in Adelaide used by Agape Ministries, finding guns, fuses, detonators, detonator cords and 20,000 rounds of ammunitions…
…Four men were arrested and charged with firearms offences, but police are still hunting for the leader of the sect, Rocco Leo, and two other senior members.
The Christian sect – which used to number in the hundreds but now has between 40 to 60 followers – reportedly believes the world will end in 2012.
Police believe the group was collecting money to buy a Pacific Ocean island and set up a Christian colony there…
Another news report has more details regarding 2012:
A former cult member has told The Advertiser that church members are brainwashed into believing that life on Earth will end after microchips are implanted into everyone by the end of 2012.
