Listen up. This is serious.
December 30, 1999
Firstly, I’m probably not going to update until after Jan 1st, so I wish everyone Happy New Year and hope the next millenium will be good for everyone.
One of the first places to enter the new millenium will be Tonga… some obscure country. They’ll hit y2k at 2:00am our time. The FBI and CIA are going to monitor key places around the world as they enter the new millenium. Some notable places to observe are Tokyo, Hong Kong, Kamchutput (spelled wrong for sure, it’s some nuclear missile site in Russia), London, Paris, and then Rio de Janeiro.
Since many of these places uses the same operating systems for their power plants as the USA, monitoring them will give a good idea on how we will be affected.
I know many of you think I’m a paranoid idiot for believing all of this Y2K phenomena. Let’s get it all clear: I do not believe the world is coming to an end. I do not believe aliens or apocalypse are coming to cleanse the earth. I do believe, however, that power MAY go down – briefly hopefully. I hope everyone has at least some food and water stored – if not for Y2K, then for at the least a quake (we are in the ring of fire remember).
If power goes down, telephones, tvs, banks, satellite relay stations and all sorts of communication systems will go down. Water stations cannot operate without power either. Funny how we rely on computers so much now.
If the electronics don’t affect us, human nature may. It’s going to be chaotic in downtown and any area with a lot of people. With alcohol and drugs going around, order won’t be a priority for many. I suggest you stay in quieter areas to celebrate.
Drive carefully. Drive sober. Keep an eye out for yourself and others. This is the extent on what I can do. Just be careful. Whether or not you listen is up to you. I sincerely hope nothing bad happens and we all have a wonderful time celebrating our entry into the 2000th year.
I personally believe nothing major will happen (as many extremists like Gary North predicts). I think power may go down temporarily, and maybe a small riot might break out. Nothing too awful.
Ok, that’s enough of that. See you all later and Happy New Years one more time.
