Overview of Emergent Threats (Spring 2024)

For those of us conscious of the fact that the present situation in both our sceptred isle(s) and in the world beyond presents manifold grounds for very grave concern, we present here a concise summary of how we assess the trajectory of current developments with regards to peace, stability and liberty.

If we were to rank such concerns in order of existential severity (but not in expected chronology), we would list them thus:

  1. Nuclear War with Russia (specifcally, the West versus a Russian-Chinese Alliance).
  2. Government Overreach aka Tyranny in all but Name.
  3. Healthcare Crisis / Pandemic V.2.0.
  4. Supply Chain Disruption & Shortages.
  5. Cyberattack & Banking-and-Currency Collapse.
  6. Immigration-Induced Systemic Failure.

Obviously, there would be overlap between several of the foregoing, but for the sake of simplicity we can consider each of them in turn.

However, before delving into that, let us take a moment to refamiliarise ourselves by means of a review of the bigger strategic picture, starting with the fact that Russia is attempting to retake Ukraine by force of arms.

This enterprise began in the wake of a speech made by President Putin in January 2022 describing the “special military operation” as nothing less than a first step in securing Russia against the menace of western expansionism that surged eastward after the dissolution of the USSR, laying out what some have taken as an argument for the effective reconsolidation of that which was lost; not that we are defending NATO, but (a) no agreement was ever formalised promising Russia that NATO would refuse members from the old Warsaw Pact, despite the popular misconception amongst conservatives that such an agreement exists, and (b) NATO lacks the manpower in Europe to invade Russia during a hot war, as Putin well knows; as of the date of this article, the US Army has a mere ten divisions, which is scarcely enough to hold the continental United States, much less invade Russia.

Putin's rhetoric forms part of the Eurasianist doctrine that he and his inner circle appear addicted to and perhaps most ably articulated by his infamous “Rasputin”, Alexander Dugin, an ex-KGB officer and frequent writer on geopolitics.

Dugin is an advocate of what he calls The Fourth Political Theory, calling for an essentially “new” form of governance that seeks to combine what he defines as the best elements of fascism, communism and capitalism, but one which already exists in modern China and pretty much also in Russia itself in the form of a not-named-as-such, but nonetheless real, “Market Marxism”, with top-down, heavy handed authoritarian overlordship at the helm.

The Fourth Political Theory by Alexander Dugin


Although promulgated by a supporter of the de-Atlanticisation of Europe, as the Russian elites like to term their goal of the removal of Anglo-American influence on the continent, Dugin’s hybrid political system has apparently found eager takers in the West in the form of our very own globalist elites who admire the Chinese social credit model, as Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum candidly admits:

"I think we should be very careful in imposing systems... but the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.” ~ Klaus Schwab, November 2022, as reported by TASS.

Schwab, as Davos clique frontman for the West’s elites, conveys what they really think and reveals, quite brazenly, their agenda both through public statements like the foregoing, and in his written works, such as COVID-19: The Great Reset.

So what we have, in fact, are the elites in both the East and the West signed up to a fully fleshed out tyrannical form of rule, with the only real differences between either side reducing to the resolution of the question as to who gets to be top dog in the brave new world they all have in view, and it is that issue that is at the crux of the intensifying East-West war of words, threats and the Ukraine conflict.

In simpler terms, we are living through a turf war between rival hyper-Socialist factions, meaning the “us and them” of it all does not simply amount to East versus West, but to the oligarchs on both sides versus the rest of us, especially the freedom-loving, critical thinkers of this world.

It is that backdrop, and the concomitant geopolitical powerplay underway, that sets the immediate context of the present threat matrix, which we now review point by point.

1. Nuclear War with Russia (and China)

"Britain always has been, is now, and will be our eternal enemy. At least until such time as their arrogant, despicably dank island sinks into the abyss of the sea from a wave triggered by a cutting-edge Russian weapons system." ~ Dmitri Medvedev, ex President of Russia and current deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia.
"For Western countries, for you, British listeners, I would say that Vladimir Putin told us he would be ready to use nuclear weapons against Western countries, including nuclear weapons against Great Britain... Your cities will be targeted." ~ Sergey Markov, ex advisor to Vladimir Putin, speaking in an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme in November 2022.

By now it is patently obvious that Russia and China are already committed to engaging the West in a nuclear showdown, which is deducible not merely from the increasingly confident and bellicose statements made by both counties, and not merely from the fact that the balance of nuclear arms has shifted very heavily in their favour thanks to their own intensive modernisation programs and the West’s failure to develop or upgrade its own strategic weaponry for around forty years, but also from the longstanding revelations of Russian and, to a lesser extent, Chinese strategy revealed by the defector literature, most notably that of Anatoliy Golitsyn in New Lies for Old and The Perestroika Deception, and that of Stanislav Lunev, and also that of Viktor Suvarov in Spetznaz.

In all respects, a concerted effort was made to disarm the West literally, as well as morally through “active measures” and mentally in terms of convincing the West that Russia was no longer essentially communist and that it was very much a spent force and therefore no longer a threat (for a much needed antidote to pro-Russian propaganda in the West, see our article, Why the Russians are not the Good Guys).

Today, Russia’s military is riven with disorganisation, corruption, low morale and bad leadership, as the debacle in Ukraine attests, but out of similar chaotic conditions the Red Army of World War Two (or "Great Patriotic War”, as the Russians like to term it) became an irresistible force.

However, the centrepiece of Russian power is not its conventional army, much less its navy or its air force, but rather its vast and continually growing and modernising nuclear weaponry.

China, meanwhile, has its own pending Ukraine in the form of Taiwan, and unlike Russia, it has a massive conventional army, a large air force, and is rapidly homing in on possessing a bona fide blue water navy that would be capable, when finished, of standing toe-to-toe with the US Navy and breaking out of the first island chain that has so far served to help deter its expansionist ambitions in the Pacific.

A Joint Clenched Fist in the East, a Split in the West?

According to the defectors, China and Russia have maintained an ongoing, long-term strategic pact behind the charade of the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s, in which they would bide their time until the West would become adequately weakened for them to confidently strike together in what they call a “one clenched fist” attack.

However, before arriving at the point of fully blown war, both Russia and China would welcome a prestigious and morale-boosting victory in the form of, say, dividing NATO and retaking Taiwan.

In the former instance, Cold War thinking in Whitehall (and presumably the other NATO corridors of power) was that the Warsaw Pact forces would attempt to invade a small NATO country, specifically, Denmark, with a view to demonstrating that Article 5 is a paper tiger (according to declassified materials reviewed in The Secret State by Peter Hennessey), whereas nowadays any or all three of the Baltic states would be the most natural targets for that kind of enterprise.

The Secret State


Nevertheless, a similar victory might be claimed if Russia could prevail upon Turkey, the perennial fence-sitter within NATO’s ranks and eager buyer of its military hardware, to fully flip to Moscow (Turkey is presently under sanctions from the US for its purchase of S-400 air defence systems from Russia, and has been ejected from the F-35 stealth fighter program for the same reason; then in September 2023, the US sanctioned five Turkish firms for aiding Russia and Iran in developing drone technology, hardly an encouraging sign for a NATO ally).

Russian & Chinese Strategic Preparations

Russia also appears extremely eager to secure its own western flank against what it defines as NATO “aggression and encirclement”.

However, we assess that the NATO forces in proximity to Russia’s borders (and for that matter, the allied naval forces operating in the first island chain to China’s east) are numerically too weak to be anything more than a containment-deterrent operation.

Nevertheless, Moscow’s long term economic goal is to have a free hand to supply its hydrocarbons to Europe’s energy markets and therefore its strategic aims mandate the total military defeat of the US and the UK, thereby removing the Anglo nuclear umbrella from continental Europe and paving the way for Russia to become Europe’s new senior partner... the de-Atlanticisation of Europe, in other words.

Russia has also been very active in seeking and acquiring basing rights in the Mediterranean Sea, especially in the eastern reaches of it, as well as in the Red Sea, presumably with an eye on the rich bounty of hydrocarbons relatively recently discovered in the form of Israel’s offshore Leviathan gas fields, the Levant now being classified by Moscow as Russia’s “near abroad” and partially occupied as such (in southern Syria); at the same time, Russia continues to take an active, boots-on-the-ground interest in much of north Africa, with Wagner forces there undertaking hearts and minds operations as part of their remit.

China too is intensely engaged in Africa in pursuit of minerals and other strategic gains, including a longer-term goal of possessing a naval presence in the Atlantic.

In the meantime, China has been feverishly preparing for a global war, with unoccupied empty cities having been built to hold some 65 million homes, and with a food-grab campaign so frantic as to have led to rumours of some nations refusing (notably Argentina) to meet their demands, lest they leave their own populations short of supplies. That said, it seems Argentina still intends to produce pork for China on an industrial scale.

Any "one clenched fist” move by Russia and China could come only when (a) both are confident that the West is economically, societally and militarily dysfunctional and (b) both have completed their pre-war preparations; in the case of Russia, as intimated, it needs to be confident its western approaches are buffered or otherwise readily defensible and it has to overhaul its entire command and control structure in the wake of the weaknesses in it exposed by the Ukraine war.

In the case of China, it needs to fully develop its joint operations capabilities within the three branches of its armed forces (a problem that has reputedly dogged China for years), and perhaps gain vital combat experience in Taiwan (assuming it will opt for kinetic action rather than strangulating Taiwan into surrender via a blockade) and complete its acquisition of arms and supplies, before breaking out.

In other words, both countries need to double down on their preparations for a hot war with the West, which is presently what they are doing.

It is my view, and that of others who study such things, that North Korea with its huge army will play a critical role in any war with the West.

An invasion of South Korea timed for a Chinese breakout in the Pacific would greatly stretch America’s military resources and, if coupled with a further Russian adventure in eastern Europe, say, into the Baltic states, would present the US with the dreaded two front scenario that its army lacks the manpower to deal with.

Russia Postured for First Strike, the US Postured to Absorb

When the time comes for the missiles to fly, received wisdom has it that Russia and China will launch first and target the command and control infrastructure of the US and the UK primarily, plus possibly also nuclear-armed France in what would be a largely counterforce barrage (i.e. attacking military and government sites first and foremost), in full expectation of a limited counterforce retaliation.

When such a move would come to pass, the longstanding arrangement is (allegedly) that Russia is to provide the nuclear barrage and China the vast manpower to collectively stretch, decapitate and overwhelm the West’s military capabilities; accordingly, Russia has its nuclear missiles postured for a first strike against the US, the UK and possibly France whereas America, astonishingly, is postured - contrary to "expert" Annie Jacobsen's nonsense - to absorb a first strike in a wait-and-see policy, formalised in the PDD-60 directive of President Clinton in 1997 (but still in force today) that removed Launch on Warning, as corroborated by Pentagon top brass interviewed by Ron Rosenbaum in How the End Begins.

Beyond that, however, both sides would be expected to switch to countervalue targets, that is, large urban areas and industrial sites; given that most major western nations have something of the order of 80-90% of their populations in urban residence, and with little or no bunkering facilities in most countries of the West, this presents a very appealing point of leverage for Russian and Chinese planners.

Nuclear War Misconceptions

A common error made by those of us with a preparedness mindset is that a war with Russia would be over quickly, consisting of only one wave of missiles.

This is not the case, however, as strategic nuclear doctrine requires multiple salvoes and retargetting in what the layman might term as “overkill”, and we would expect this applies more particularly to hardened targets such as military bases, known or suspected sites of deep bunkering, and large strategic targets such as deep water port facilities.

Another error is that nuclear war cannot occur because the parties are assured of mutual destruction and besides, it would precipitate a nuclear winter that would pose a threat to the continuation of life on the planet.

Neither of these premises are believed by the war planners on either side, with the latter in particular considered by many to be junk science or even a Russian-concocted artefact of Cold War propaganda.

(For more depth on this subject, see our blog article, 5 Popular Nuclear War Myths).

Fallout, however, is a serious consideration, particularly downwind of hardened military targets which require groundburst detonations that inevitably irradiate the debris and eject it high into the atmosphere; civilian targets, on the other hand, are thought to be more likely to undergo airburst attacks, in which a nuclear warhead is detonated above a city to send a shockwave downwards to destroy all its buildings and incinerate much of its population with its heat flash.

2. Government Overreach aka Tyranny

We think we are on safe enough ground by assuming that most of you who read this will have a conservative worldview and therefore, if you have been paying attention both to the downward course that liberty has been on in recent years and to the disturbing emanations from the think-tanks and talking shops of our elites, then you will know that government is becoming increasingly unaccountable and menacing to those who do not support what might reasonably be described as regime narratives.

Those narratives are, obviously, the globalists' / "international community's" party line on the whole spectrum of woke issues, immigration, the environment, and so on, with all of these subjects now poised to be not simply promoted as the new values we should collectively, as a society, embrace in regimented groupthink, but protected and indeed enforced as such.

Thought crime is now becoming a thing, so to speak, with police harassment of people for making the most innocuous of social media posts if anyone on the woke side of the fence takes offence, and rigorous, nay, terrifyingly draconian laws are now in the bill phase in every western nation to clamp down hard on prospective offenders:

All of the above principally concern enforcing, upon pain of great penalty, the present woke narrative that unifies all the western governments and major political parties, and when one considers that the Left is now redefining violence and hatred as merely remaining silent instead of voicing support for its causes, it is obvious that the suite of mass censorship laws listed above will become abused, in short order, to come down heavy on conservatives.

But it gets worse.

The other elephant in the room besides the woke mastodon is the enviro-cult tyranny that has effectively framed the majority of humanity as useless eaters (now that robotics and AI are projected to increasingly replace us in the workplace) ruining the habitat that belongs to the earth’s self-appointed “stakeholders”: the elites.

We trust it has not escaped your notice that energy and food prices are unnaturally high in no small part due to the pressure to attain Net Zero by 2050, in order to save the planet from a non-existent climate crisis.

This is why the powers that be are encouraging farmers to retire, why they are pushing "fifteen minute cities" (and castigating those who oppose them as conspiracy theorists, why we are told meat is bad for us and for the planet, why lab meat and mealworms are delicious, why the countryside is scarred with ugly wind farms, why our electricity bills are extortionately high, why more and more people are in poverty, leading to broken marriages and broken childhoods and a slew of other knock-on ills.

And now we have the prospect of the Climate and Ecology Bill in the UK, which would mandate police officers violating our homes to help enforce the deployment of intrusive smart meters, designed to dictate our daily energy consumption.

Now imagine how much more enforceable that and the woke litany will become when the programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are deployed, with the Digital Pound scheduled for around mid-decade; deviate even slightly from the narrative, and you will be downgraded, cancelled, suspended, or even arrested, charged and imprisoned.

Rishi Sunak the puppet of Infosys and the WEF



Remember Klaus Schwab’s comment expressing his admiration for the Chinese model, quoted earlier?

With the above laws, and with a programmable CBDC, we will have all the electronic and legal infrastructure in place for a Chinese style social credit dystopia spanning every western country; that is to say, we are hurtling at breakneck pace towards a crypto-Marxist tyranny here in the now only nominally "free" West.

To prepare for this, there can be realistically no wholly urban-based solution; as a conservative, you have to minimise the impact of the coming tyranny by retreating to the privacy of the rural world, while still at liberty to do so.

3. Healthcare Crisis / Pandemic V.2.0

If governmental responses to Covid-19 worldwide were not a wake-up call for you, then we fear you are pretty much reading the wrong article.

Regardless of your stance on the vaccine – personally, I refused to take an untested and therefore automatically risky mRNA concoction developed by a pharmaceutical industry that was given immunity from liability by politicians who serve think-tanks that subtly and indirectly call for population reduction to “save the planet” - it is inevitable that either another pandemic will come along and present a second "rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world”, as Klaus Schwab described the first pandemic, or a new cure-all gene therapy will arrive and be made mandatory, along with expressing the correct opinions, for ongoing participation in the workforce, commerce, the military, education, travel, and so on.

The pandemic was, regardless of your view of the governments’ responses, a real-world test of mass compliance in the face of an ostensible public healthcare crisis which, in the final analysis, had a very high survivability.

We submit that having validated their theory that most people would tow the line, the powers that be will find that, for the majority of society, they will be able to sell a subsequent mass compliance healthcare initiative such as the gene therapy concept we mentioned above, as that would really amount to no less than a more mature form of the controversial vaccine passport schemes proposed during the Covid pandemic.

Naturally, then, the question as to mitigating such a gross imposition arises, and the starting point to the answer is the same as to the previous two threats: self-extrication from urban settings and relocation to the countryside, where fewer prying eyes abound and the leeway to bend the rules (such as sneaking out for illicit walks during lockdowns) exists.

4. Supply Chain Disruption & Shortages

As a conservative, switched-on reader, dare we presume that you are aware of the reports of doom and gloom projections about the levels of food production?

We mentioned above that China has been busying itself stockpiling food supplies for its population, not just for its military, and by way of explanation (aside from World War Three planning) there have been rumours – unsubstantiated – that the Chinese authorities anticipate a period of severe crop failures driven by wetter than usual weather patterns; that, of course, could be a cover story for all the war planning, but then again, it might contain a kernel of truth.

It has also been proposed by some that Russia’s war in Ukraine is also, at least partially, related to the same concern, given that Ukraine is a grain-producing powerhouse.

The Economist: The Coming Food Catastrophe


Meanwhile, here in the UK some supermarkets (i.e. ASDA) have been practising an unspoken rationing system, in which customers are not permitted to buy more than one or two “own label” staple food products.

All of this might appear to be a recommendation to consider a self-sufficient lifestyle in the countryside, but rather, having stayed as the guest of a disillusioned self-sufficiency purist on the continent, we consider growing ones own food to be a risky strategy because it requires more than some seeds and a few how-to books to successfully maintain a victory garden.

It is better, therefore, to focus on quietly accumulating supplies, just as the elites are doing, and having self-sufficient victory gardening as a fallback rather than a frontline strategy.

And as before, to do this with optimal privacy and security, you will have to be located far from urban centres.

5. Cyberattack, Banking & Currency Collapse / Economic Crisis

There are many perma-bears in the conservative community who, for years if not decades, have been predicting a catastrophic, TEOTWAKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) economic disaster.

And yet... Harder and more expensive though life is becoming, fiat currencies and the major banks, despite occasional wobbles, have remained intact and the Dollar is still the world’s reserve currency.

Nevertheless, we do believe that an economic collapse is coming, perhaps in the following very basic chronology:

  1. A potential cyberattack pinned – rightly or wrongly – on Russia and / or its allies, around mid-decade; like the Covid pandemic, this would present a “rare but narrow window of opportunity” to bring about the transition to the Digital Pound (and Dollar, Euro, Yen, etc.) in not so much Schwab’s Great Reset as a whole, but a great currency reset component thereof. If the CBDCs can be brought in on the back of an attack by “bad actors” (wink, wink), then there is the further opportunity to explain the mass emptying of bank accounts and the restoration of everyone’s wealth to a “day zero”, state-dependent level. This is not really a nightmare scenario for the poor, but for everyone else, especially HNWIs, it certainly would be and accordingly, warrants serious consideration concerning asset protection before it happens.
  2. If you thought the present monetary system was built on the ethereal, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The CBDCs will not derive their nominal value from labour, but be assigned it by favour and, with programmability woven into their entropy, will become cattle prods used to corral an already stressed out and shocked society into complying with the tyrannical dystopia that a western implementation of the Chinese style social credit system will consist of. That in turn lays the grounds for mass social unrest because, unlike the Chinese and others in the eastern world, the British people and westerners in general have an entrenched sense of liberty and of rights that spans centuries. You cannot simply try to enforce a traumatic cultural transformation as quickly as that and then expect unbroken systemic continuity; rather, you will be introducing a disquiet that would probably bring the kind of affirmative acts of defiance that thus far have not been a factor in any of the economic considerations applicable to the West. An economy may survive war, banking crises, pandemics, cyberattacks and currency collapses, but can it survive the fury of an outraged or wholly demotivated and demoralised populace?
Tow the line digital currency


At, or around the time, when western society becomes wholly disenfranchised with the CBDC system and with eating vegan slop in a joyless tagged-and-monitored control grid, the wheels of governance will start to fall off the wagon and the time of convergence that the Russian and Chinese defectors spoke of will have arrived, with their sworn enemy down and in a prone position, waiting to be picked off; that is, global nuclear war between Russia (plus its allies) and the West will by then be in clear view.

6. Immigration-Induced Systemic Failure.

The Cloward-Piven strategy was a 1960s Marxist plan to bring the US and the remainder of the West to its knees by overburdening its economy and infrastructure with a massive influx of immigrants from the Third World.


Today, every western nation - large or small - has a problem with unfettered immigration from the Third World, bubbling up into increased social disquiet between alarmed native populations and the Leftist facilitators in their midst who frame any criticism of their logic-defying stance on immigration as "far right extremism".

And as with all of the other emerging threats of the present decade, cities are the hot zones.

But again, things are only getting started.

If you thought previous waves of immigrant-instigated civil unrest, rioting, looting, burning and fighting were bad, just take a moment to think what it will be like when the current tsunami of immigration hits critical mass levels in all of our cities, and the disconnect between their vast numbers and the host population's ability to sustain them financially (never mind tolerate them) reaches elephantine proportions.

Every city in the UK will experience unprecedented levels of turmoil, and the police and military will be called in to try to keep a lid on it, so expect heavy handed government responses, curfews, travel restrictions, road blocks, supply shortages, perhaps even power cuts and comms outages, as well as collapse of essential healthcare services and perhaps the postal service in the period leading up to the war with Russia and China later this decade.

Predicted Chronology & Conclusions

From various sources, we assess that the following chain of events will occur this decade:

  1. Cyberattack and / or banking-and-currency collapse (2024 - 2025) and a probable "win" for Russia in Ukraine in the same period; at or around that time, a highly confident Russia may seek to negotiate an agreed settlement in the Middle East, as it alone has the clout to corral all the disaffected factions there behind a peace deal.
  2. CBDC-based social credit system introduced in the West as a response to the monetary-financial-cyber crisis, rolled out in stages from early 2025 - early 2026.

  3. "Plausible" prospect of Pandemic 2.0 promoted by governments, media, experts and all other wielders of influence, aimed at pushing a new vaccine / gene therapy, with extra coercion in the form of it being tied to receipt of a UBI within the CBDC system.
  4. Devastating healthcare crisis (circa mid 2026 - mid 2027), caused by said vaccine / gene therapy.
  5. The BRICS exchange mechanism to fall apart at the seams, leading to a calamitous collapse of living standards in the East, simultaneous with or following shortly after, the West's new healthcare disaster.
  6. Immigrant-centric wholesale civil bloodshed (ca. 2027) in the West, perhaps stoked by the medical catastrophe.
  7. Government overreach / heavy-handed response / martial law as a reaction to societal unrest, both in the East and West.
  8. Pushback from citizenry in all western lands, triggering systemic failure, political instability and supply chain disruption and shortages (ca. late 2027 - early 2028).
  9. Russia and China to attempt a pre-war strategic move (a hydrocarbon resource-grab) in the Levant (mid 2028 - mid 2029) to revitalise their damaged economies, by which point the West will have too many domestic problems and possible military diversions stretching it in both Europe and the Pacific, to intervene. (Watch in the interim as the US starts to decouple from Israel and Turkey increasingly pivots towards Russia).
  10. The Russian-led expedition in the Middle East to spectacularly miscarry, leading to a compulsive, "Götterdämmerung", all-out first strike against the West. See our article, Why the Russians are not the Good Guys" to understand why that fits with the mindset of the Russian ruling clique.
  11. An attritional nuclear war with Russia (mid-to-late 2028 to mid-to-late 2029) leading to the destruction of every major city in East and West, and massive loss of life.

There is much more detail we could add, but this platform is not the place for that; suffice to say, if you have been paying attention to Russian and Chinese moves and, more importantly, to the doctrines behind those moves, you will know that they are already committed to, and on a path towards, engaging the West with nuclear warfare this decade.

However, you will also know that, given the machinations of the WEF-set here in the West, the window to prepare is closing fast; long before this war that all parties are spoiling for and preparing for begins, the CBDCs will kick in and your buying power may very well be greatly diminished, as may your liberty to live outside the surveillance panopticon of the towns and cities.

Therefore, if your plan is to wait until the worst case looks imminent, it will be too late to act; nations states such as Sweden, Finland and Switzerland have been proactively making bunkering preparations for their populations, and wealthy people worldwide have been taking the matter into their own hands; that is to say, Everybody is Bunkering Down... So why aren't You?

Accordingly, don’t leave it until the last moment by waiting for clarity on the brink of annihilation.

Now is the time to cancel all your plans, drop what you are doing, and run for the hills... And if you need help in doing that, perhaps we can discreetly be of service.
