Your Federal Tax Dollars Are Being Used To Prepare For The Zombie Apocalypse


The above film clip is not a “behind the scenes” of the latest Dawn of the Dead straight-to-DVD ripoff. It is the actual footage of first responder seminar in San Diego, California. The Department of Homeland Security deemed the event an allowable expense, enabling participants to use federal grant funding to pay to go.

That’s according to “Safety at Any Price: Assessing the Impact of Homeland Security Spending in U.S. Cities” a report compiled by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who chairs the investigations subcommittee of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. The report focuses on grants made by the DHS and the Urban Areas Security Initiative. Coburn says the report shows that DHS was “directing scarce dollars to low-priority project and low-risk areas.”

Zombies are a metaphor for the general public when the Feds clamp down.

Dawn of the Dead is an amazing piece of cinema. It's probably the best zombie movie ever.

I hope you realize that this is just a tactic in order to get more people involved with disaster preparedness?

Zombies are a hot topic right now. Is it plausible that a zombie apocalypse could occur? Kind of. Not really, however the CDC did release a zombie preparedness guide.

Anyway, using Zombies as a way to get people prepared for any type of disaster is a great and exciting way.

You dont have to dog literally everything that the government does. Most things they do are for the better, but you cant please everyone I guess.
