‘Zombie Survivability’ Alert! Are Government Officials Tracking Blaze Stories on the Undead?

    * Posted on September 22, 2011 at 9:41am by Liz Klimas Liz Klimas

The government is watching us — that is The Blaze. Or, they’re tracking certain key words on the Internet. Key words in this case: zombie, apocalypse and survivability. Yup, that‘s apparently what got the government’s attention. Zombies.

A comment over the weekend on a Blaze article by “Leto” — The Blaze username of Tom Deaderick —  turned the government’s eye on his website.

The article was about a Haitian archaeological discovery that alluded to ancient zombies; skeletons were found with rocks in their mouths. Deaderick, wanting to let fellow Blaze readers know if they would be safe in the ever increasing likelihood of a zombie apocalypse, shared with us his zombie survivability map. See how your state ranks:



Within an hour the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was onto it. In fact, they looked at his site 11 times.

What does this attention mean? And how did they find it? Like I said, the government is watching The Blaze and/or tracking the words “zombie apocalypse” — which may be as scary as a zombie apocalypse.

Deaderick says the fact the feds are looking at the map is a good thing. This way, they can make sure they haven’t missed anything for their own planning of the impending zombie apocalypse — or more likely a severely contagious disease.

“The more data you can collect, the more you get a perspective of what is most important [in certain situations],” Deaderick said. “The agencies [looking at the site] may be making sure they are exploring every possible piece of information.”

Deaderick was surprised at the ease with which he was able to collect government information to create the map — something he says could be alarming if the “bad guys” knew about it. When contacting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services about entrance into the country and flights between states, the department why he wanted this information, he just said “for a marketing piece.” This was apparently a good enough answer — they didn’t know it was a zombie marketing piece.

“Isolation is important for survival of a contagion,” Deaderick said when The Blaze asked why he need this information. “You may think that Hawaii would be well off, but there are a decent amount of flights going in and out. They also don‘t have a lot of weapons and that’s a negative in a survival situation.”

You may be wondering: Why did Deaderick create a map ranking zombie apocalypse survivability in the first place? Why not? It’s coming.

Ohio is 30th and Pennsylvania is 42nd?  WTH?  Oh, I forgot, The Pincus lives in Ohio now.

The map isn't that accurate.
Look at the difference between neighboring small states, 12 points difference between Maine and NH, while there is only 1 point difference between Vermont and Mass ? 3 of those states share a common border.

As for the actual point of the post, I've said over and over the NSA monitors every electronic emission on the planet, of course they would have "Zombie" on the list of keywords. it is frequently used, and generally understood as a euphemism for those we think need shooting such as armed criminals.
I don't use euphemisms myself, My guns are for the purpose of overthrowing the regime and resurrecting our lost Republic.

KY is #1, but they have been so successfully dealing with the problem in their state for so long, no one notices much any more
