There is virtually nothing like ‘If The Bomb Falls’ today. It’s needed. Good information, despite the grim subject matter, doesn’t cause panic, it eases it

“We might label our nuclear weapons ‘instant death.’ There’s no doubt about it — if you live within a few miles of where one of these bombs strike, you’ll die. Instantly. You’ll also die if you live downwind from where the bomb falls, even a few hundred miles away. It may be a slow and lingering death, but it would be equally as final as the death from the bomb blast itself. You’ll die unless you have shelter.”That’s pretty stark, as emergency warnings go.

But despite how chilling it is to hear a man calmly and flatly tell you you’re doomed, the LP was actually damned helpful. The most remarkable part of the recording is how simple it is. Everything is explained as clearly and plainly as possible. Listening from an age of carefully massaged messaging and government and corporate messaging designed to include the least possible information in the maximum possible number of words, the 1961 guide is refreshing, despite the grim subject matter.

Maybe a little biblical research will bring about what is happening in this broken unbalanced world. Yeshua’s prophecies are right on. The secular world has no time for ancient fables, they rely on the wisdom of foolish humans.

It would be nice to see even some simple things - testing locations (preferably not emergency rooms). Maybe some flu shot clinics for those who haven't already got theirs with the idea of keeping those folks out of our hospitals. I still think we're ahead of the US on this.
