Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions.

251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2]

55 million years later another methane bubble ruptured causing more mass extinctions during the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM).

The LPTM lasted 100,000 years. [3]

Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico.

Now, worried scientists are increasingly concerned the same series of catastrophic events that led to worldwide death back then may be happening again-and no known technology can stop it.

The bottom line: BP?s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years.

Assume you're right. Why bother with a cover up? If it's over, it's over.

Obama goes on TV and announces that in less than 6 months we'll likely all be dead. At that moment, society and civilization break down. It's every man for himself and if you aren't able to defend yourself and your family, without fail, you won't survive long enough to witness the actual event. Failure = Death.

If such an event were probable enough for our government to own up to it publicly, all rules go right out the window. If everyone knows the clock is ticking, what would you be willing to do to attempt to survive it?

And how would the rest of the world react....

After seeing The Road, one of the major things that stuck with me was that having a gun can make 1000% difference as to whether you live or die...if the natural catastrophe doesn't get you first. Worrying about people is far scarier than anything nature can throw at me. After 3 days of anarchy, my neighborhood would look like a Mad Max movie, with a Thunderdome in the ballfield near my house.

This is why I've been thinking about owning a gun again, for the first time in 15 years.

I think when/if the shit goes down, I'd like to have a fighting chance, rather than just resigning myself to laying down and dying.

I'm not too worried about owning guns prior to a societal collapse. There will be plenty around afterward to pick up for free. (off dead people). But I am checking to make sure my bug-out bags are up to speed.
