It’s a Republican administration which means a magazine publisher and a bunch of activists cosplaying as atomic scientists will emerge on cue with a fake clock and announce that the DOOMSDAY CLOCK is even closer to midnight.
Humanity is closer than ever to catastrophe, according to the atomic scientists behind the Doomsday Clock.
The ominous metaphor ticked one second closer to midnight this week. The clock now stands just 89 seconds away — its first move in two years and the closest the clock come to midnight in its nearly eight-decade history.
“The 2025 Clock time signals that the world is on a course of unprecedented risk, and that continuing on the current path is a form of madness,” announced the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the nonprofit organization that sets the clock each year.
Helpful reminder. It’s all still fake.
Rachel Bronson, the executive director of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, has a degree is in political science and her social media feed is filled with childish anti-Trump rants. She is less of an “atomic scientist” than your Aunt Sally.
Rachel is supposed to step down as soon as the Bulletin of Non-Atomic Non-Scientists can find an equally qualified activist.
John Mecklin is the editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. John Mecklin’s qualifications for warning that the world is about to end can be found in his past as editor of High Country and Key West. Key West is “a high-end, monthly city magazine devoted to documenting the rich, quirky stories of the Florida Keys.” He is not an “atomic scientist”.
The governing board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Activists includes former Gov. Brown and assorted wealthy people.
Bryan Baconm, a senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Northern Trust, Virginia Berkeley, the former Executive Vice President of CoBiz Bank, and, most of all, Cyndi Conn, “the Founder and President of LaunchProjects LLC, a creative consulting firm with a track record of engaging and inspiring organizations, influencers, and leaders.”
Let’s also not forget Melissa Harris, a business columnist for the Chicago Tribune and Joanne Po, “the head of multimedia content and executive producer at CoinDesk, the most trusted and influential media and events platform covering the global emergence of the blockchain, crypto and Web3 economy.”
I’m more of an atomic scientist than they are.
Yes, it’s almost all fake. I was thinking about that yesterday, how the public figures are almost all faking it. Trust them at your peril.
That realization is starting to dawn on a great many people.
Yes and it’s about time.
The fakeness is pervasive. Gone are the days of merit and statesmanship (excepting Trump). Now are the days of LARPing.
Justice Democrats did the equivalent of a casting call for the congressional seat now occupied by AOC. They are very proud of that and also their installation of sock puppets like Rashida Talib, Summer Lee and Delia Ramirez in the same way.
Don’t believe me?
“LARP.” I had to look that up.
My attempt to put in a link got translated through the posting process as “HOME.”
The link is justice democrats dot com. All one word, no spaces.
She’s right, the world was much safer when we had a dementia-riddled president and a cabal of twenty-something interns, warmongers, misanthropes, DEI hires, and straight up blithering idiots running the country.
ain’t academia grand?
I remember seeing that Nuke destruction clock in the 50’s and 60’s. If memory serves me, there was just 2 min’s. until “The End”.
I still remember practicing ducking under my school desk, as if that would protect you from a Nuclear Blast. Oh yes, and a wet wash cloth on your head to shield from fallout.
lol, thanks world, I remember that, and it made me laugh 🙂
“Duck, and cover”. In elementary school we kids had a drill where we hid under our desks.
Then another drill, where they marched the whole class to line up in a nearby tunnel. open to San Francisco Bay on the west end. The blast and fallout would likely have come straight through the tunnel.
I used to think my little area was so insignificant that the Russians would never bother bombing us. Later when the Russian satellite photos became available I found out they had mapped the area out completely and targeted it with several nukes. As a kid I had no idea that SF Bay, being the largest ship building area in the world during WW2 would have been a prime target.
Always knew Atlanta was a primary target. Military command hub, military and civilian logistics hub, CDC, Dobbins NAS/AFB, Hartsfield International Airport, Fernbank, the no windows Archives building(which also housed NSA and FBI), GaTech, 3 auto plants and a tractor plant, and a 3 story, 45000ft² building with a big microwave tower behind a lot of fence off Panola Rd(which was undeveloped timber and farmland at that time), that was critical to telecomminications on the Eastern Seaboard. (3/4 of it-another 9 stories, was actually underground). We were so screwed if we got nuked.
I grew up in Riverside California – right next to March Air Force Base. Big boom.
I don’t remember if we had derp and cover drills in Southern California when I was a kid, but we definitely had them for earthquakes, even during our four years of high school.
I had forgotten about the wet washcloth.
Maybe they prevent COVID.
We went to Louisiana two weeks ago for a funeral of our best friend – and got snowed in for three days! Even with the sadness of the reason for the trip, the families there were upbeat about the changes being made by PRESIDENT TRUMP and his team. They only wished their Dad was still here to see it all take place. I’m sure he would have had some timely Cajun words for their “Doomsday Clock”! And it had better be a small one with LOTS of LUBE!!
Their always screwing around with their Doomsday Clock for the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders to cover their little events
This old routine was a communist ploy to disarm America of its nuclear weapons. Scratch a peace movement and you’ll find a commie pedigree.
The clock isn’t completely fake. It’s just a Magic Eight Ball. The same device that the Dems used to predict their presidential victory.
it must be the only broken clock that isn’t correct twice a day!
The whole purpose of the so-called doomsday clock is to frighten the ignorant, unsophisticated science illiterates who are prone to fearing what they do not understand.
The Union of Concerned Scienist’s Center of Science for the Public Interest and Phsicyals Council for Resposible Medicine has nothing at all to do with Science and Doctors just Politics
Problem Glasses
If the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists was real and honest, they would have moved the clock one second to midnight when Biden gave Ukraine long range missiles to shoot into Russia. But they only come out during a Republican administration.
