A few years ago, the Center for Disease Control launched a zombie preparedness initiative that drew significant attention. The Department of Defense followed suit and developed an entire training course intended for the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES). The complete response plan, called CONPLAN888, was recently declassified, and it’s just as weird and creepy as you might imagine.
The Black Vault posted two documents retrieved from the NSA using the Freedom of Information Act.
The purpose of the plan, according to the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), was to use a fictitious scenario to prepare for real-world emergencies.
“[The training focused on how to] undertake military operations to preserve ‘non-zombie’ humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde. Because zombies pose a threat to all ‘non-zombie’ human life (hereafter referred to as ‘humans’), USSTRATCOM will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population-including traditional adversaries.”
The objective of the three-fold plan includes the neutralization of zombies through “denial, deception, disruption, degradation or destruction,” though with the exception of ‘destruction,’ it is unclear what is meant by these terms with regard to fighting zombies.
Reading at times like the treatment to a campy science fiction script, CONPLAN888 categorizes eight classes of zombies:
- Pathogenic zombies — Zombie life forms created after infection by a viral or bacterial contagion.
- Radiation zombies — Zombie life forms created after infection from electromagnetic or particle radiation.
- Evil Magic Zombies — Zombie life forms created by occult experimentation, or “evil magic.”
- Space Zombies — Zombies that come from space or are created by extraterrestrial toxins (this also includes Zombie Satellites that could pose a threat to SATCOM services like DirecTV)
- Weaponized Zombies — Zombie life forms engineered through bio-mechanical technology for the purposes of attacking another nation.
- Symbiant-Induced Zombies — Zombie life forms created after the “introduction of a symbiant life form into an otherwise healthy host.”
- Vegetarian Zombies — Zombie life forms that cause no threat to humans because they only eat plant life (could nevertheless “cause massive de-forestation or elimination of basic food crops essential to humans [rice, corn, soybeans])”
- Chicken Zombies (yes, this is real)— Zombies that are essentially old hens that can no longer lay eggs. Farmers euthanize them with carbon monoxide and stack them in piles; however, some of the hens are still alive and crawl out. Though they ultimately die of organ failure, chicken zombies are “simply terrifying to behold” and are likely only to make people become vegetarians in protest of animal cruelty.
CONPLAN888 consists of multiple striking passages, given this is a government agency assessing a fictitious zombie uprising. More practical factors concern environmental issues such as groundwater contaminated with zombie pathogens.
Other, more ominous notes, include references to the government declaring martial law within the United States. There is also a reference to epidemiologic surveillance for the purposes of watching changes in disease vectors.
The government response to a zombie uprising unleashed by a nation-state, large corporation, or terrorist group includes the following additional measures: HAND SANITIZER, which, marketing materials say, kills 99% of germs (they note that hand sanitizer has never been tested on biohazard level 4 pathogens like ebola); and FIREPOWER TO THE HEAD (“the human brain will still be functioning in the zombie state, but it is universally agreed that the only part actually active will be the brain stem”).
The document’s assessment of zombies states that they are “undead and thus feel no pain or fear of death, (therefore) riot control counter-measures would be completely ineffective.”
CONPLAN888 references the books and articles The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z; An Oral History of the Zombie War, and “Zombie Chickens Taking Over California,” among others.
Ahaha….these assholes watch waaaaay too much TV.
The only Zombies I worry about are the ones being created on College campuses, especially as they spill out into the streets.
And I doubt there have been any plans made to protect us from them, we’ll have to do that ourselves.
I wonder how much of the taxpayers money was pissed away on this exercise which has NO basis in science or reality.
Relax, it is all code for controlling any citizen revolt.
Pissing away money? That is the intent…they can include
the numbers to our GDP.
Some reading clarity—
“Pathogenic Zombies”–any citizen who refuses innoculations, vaccines or ID chips
“Weaponized Zombies”–those who hold to the 2nd amendment, have patriotic leanings or constitutional beliefs and refuse to turn in their guns.
“Symbiant Induced Zombies”–those who hold deep Christian beliefs and morals; belief in the Holy Spirit or active relationship with the Creator
“Vegetarian Zombies”–those who do not climb aboard the global warming bandwagon; should be considered threats to the environment
“Chicken Zombies”–the elderly who refuse to die after they are no longer producing labor for the state and/or banks; should be euthanized or judged to be cut off of medical services by the Death Panels and assets forfeited to the state.
Folks, WE are the zombies.
ZOG “Zombie” = Goy = Not Chosen / Less Than Human / Human Livestock or Cattle
The zombies to them are every single citizen including the useful idiots. In actuality the goobermint including the bureaucrats are zombies. The don’t work or produce anything and therefore have no purpose. Their job roles engage in no worthwhile activity and only drive to the office to shoot the shit at the coffee bar when not watching porn or surfing for what to buy when the twice monthly paycheck is deposited. Of course that is when they actually drive to the office.
Zombie: a person whose behavior or responses are wooden, listless, or seemingly rote; automaton.
