-Caveat Lector- PRISONERS EARLY REACTORS TO PERCEIVED Y2K THREAT? ------------------------------------------------- (CNNS, 12/06/98) -- Much panic is already evident over a perceived threat to "The System" due to possible glitches coming from the "Y2K" "millenium bug." This news service (Conspiracy Nation News Service; CNNS) is wary of widespread hysteria associated with the perceived Y2K problem. Many are putting their hopes into Y2K, that it will destroy the UNFATHOMABLE EVIL emanating from THE HIVE OF REGULATORS in Washington, D.C., themselves acting under orders from their CORPORATE OVERSEERS. Nonetheless, this editor studied and gained a degree in computer science, in 1985, and can state from his own experience that THE Y2K PROBLEM WAS KNOWN AND DISCUSSED AS FAR BACK AS 1985. Hence, Y2K may well be a very real problem and not just the latest hysteria. Recently, information has been obtained by this news service that members of the U.S. prison population, now totaling over 1 MILLION AMERICANS, are generally a lot more savvy about potential consequences of the perceived Y2K problem than is the average American. In a communication received from source "Roland Rocket" (pseudonym), an insider connected to the U.S. "correctional" system, this INDEPENDENT NEWS SERVICE (CNNS) has learned that dire situations may soon be expected amongst the U.S. prison populace. According to "Mr. Rocket," in the 1950s, the late J. Edgar Hoover, decades-long MAJOR-DOMO of the FBI, instituted a policy commonly known as THE HOOVER AMENDMENT. The licentious FBI Director, concerned that the prison population would be likely survivors of a nuclear war, caused the Board of Prisons (BOP) to enact a policy whereby, in such an event, prisoners were to be locked down then SHOTGUNNED TO DEATH in their prison cells. After providing this background, "Roland Rocket" updates the situation, pointing out that, "All new cell blocks have central heating and cooling ducts that allow for the mass introduction of lethal gases." Several potential scenarios emerge. Suppose Y2K disrupts the distribution of prison personnel's payroll checks. Says "Mr. Rocket": "Many have said that they will walk off the job if the checks stop coming." Or suppose these prison personnel, in the event of an actual Y2K crisis, are given orders, per the "Hoover Amendment", to exterminate prisoners? "Many of the administration and custody officers say that they didn't sign on to become Nazis," writes "Roland Rocket". Also ominous in this scenario is whether the prisoners, through the prison "grapevine", have already intuited the danger to themselves and will react accordingly. "Mr. Rocket" claims the inmates already know about at least the disruptive potential, and even the possiblity of "Hoover Amendment" executions, related to Y2K and he foresees the following: "Inmates know about it. The new ones have learned about it from the old ones. Inmates are survivors in the strictest sense and they are remorseless. Expect to see an increase in violence and escapes in the prisons of America within the next two years. I expect a major prison problem with the first hint that Y2K may have some validity. The inmates won't wait to the last minute as will many of the others in this country. Even if Y2K is a fizzle, perception is reality to most of these people. They will act if their perception is one that includes the POSSIBILITY of their deaths." + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + INFORMATION PLEASE: Conspiracy Nation News Service (CNNS) is a co-operative effort.
