^^ Wow, I just stumbled upon this thread, and this is also my birthday!

Moloch The Mystic (real name Edgar William Jacobi): A former super-villain, Moloch was jailed for a time during the 1970s. He is dying of cancer, received from Adrian Veidt, who later murders him, and frames Rorschach. In the film, he is played by Matt Frewer.

The zombification of America
I suppose that at some deep gut level, most people realize our civilized world is crumbling. The abandonment of law and common sense in the United States (and, heck, the UK too) is just one such sign, but other signs include:

• The increasing number of reports of people who walk right into moving cars and trucks while texting on their mobile devices. This often results in their death. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... 65401/Da...)

• Increases in bizarre reports of people "sleep driving" as they suddenly awake to find themselves driving around town in their own cars in the middle of the night. (http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/200 ... ning.htm...) From PubMed at the NIH: "Z-drug-impaired drivers may demonstrate cognitive function at low levels with drivers still able to understand and respond to questions while sleepwalkers are completely unable to understand or interact with police. Z-drug-impaired drivers are often severely physically impaired, unable to stand up or maintain balance while sleepwalkers are able to stand and walk unaided." (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21367628)

• The complete lack of intelligent questioning about events where the official government explanation makes absolutely no sense: 9/11, the killing of Bin Laden, etc. (http://www.naturalnews.com/033684_911_truth_WTC_7.html)

• The acceleration of flu shot propaganda which now includes pushing flu shots onto pregnant women, too. Flu shots contain chemical adjuvants that lobotomize brain tissue, causing you to be unable to think rationally.

• The rise of a whole new generation of mumbling, neurologically-damaged children who are now routinely seen out in public. Many of these children are, of course, vaccine damaged.

• Aspartame, which "pickles" the brain in formaldehyde, continues to be consumed in ridiculously high quantities through diet sodas. Have you ever noticed that people who drink a lot of diet soda are also the most brain-numbed people around? (http://www.naturalnews.com/aspartame.html)

• The increase in the sales of products made from human babies. Recently in Korea, a company was busted selling "powdered human baby" in capsules as a longevity pill. And more recently, a UK man was busted in Thailand with six roasted human fetuses in his luggage, wrapped in gold foil. These were being sold as some sort of dark magic power source. Customers apparently eat the fetuses under the belief that doing so will give them power. (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... in-thail...)

• Even the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently warned Americans to prepare for what they call "the coming zombie apocalypse." (http://www.naturalnews.com/032454_zombi ... e_CDC.html) According to a May 16, 2011 announcement by the CDC, "...zombies would take over entire countries, roaming city streets eating anything living that got in their way. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine)."

The CDC's zombie apocalypse page, believe it or not, is still posted at: http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatter ... -101-zom...

...Otherwise, zombies are interesting. It's been mentioned before, but they are connected to the viral apocalypse theme. Someone mentioned that the zombies also might be omens of a coming Zombie Attack on the Internet itself..

We all know who the zombies symbolizes, and it's not the people of this forum..

Rivers to the north, oceans to the east and west, and to the south: the most heavily fortified border on Earth. Mountains filled with a titanic military-industrial infrastructure built during the Korean War to withstand bombing campaigns.

A heavily militarized population with almost every man having undergone military training at one point in their lives and most importantly: a superhuman degree of discipline and devotion to their country and their Great Leader.

Not to mention food shortages are very common so the people there know how to handle going about with no food in their bellies for days. Also the abundance and value of useful and practical skills like carpentering and engineering.

North Korea is also not solely dependent on trade with other countries like so many modern countries and can be very independent without having to rely on other countries to provide aid. Also very low chance of the infection 'immigrating' in with the already strict border patrol.

I have to say, North Korea is practically ready for a worldwide zombie outbreak.

"My dear remaining fellow Australians the end of the world is coming," Ms Gillard said.

"It turns out the Mayan calendar was true."

Obviously tongue-in-cheek the video goes on to question what might happen during the 'apocalypse'.

"Whether the final blow comes from flesh eating zombies, demonic hell beasts... good luck to you all," Ms Gillard said.
