Global Catastrophic Risk Management
from SciFriday
A NEW BILL being considered by the U.S. Senate would create an interdepartmental committee to plan for a global catastrophe—the kind that could mean the end of humanity.The U.S. has had continuity of government plans in effect for decades, but those are intended to preserve the government through a nuclear attack. Why expand the scope to surviving a potentially world-ending event? Why now?More to the point, is this in any way connected to the arrival of asteroid Apophis in 2029?

Since March 2005, Derek and Sharon Gilbert have shared their take on cryptopolitics and things that go bump in the night. Those first podcasts, back when podcasting was a brand new idea, were rough–recorded through a jury-rigged setup of string, wire, duct tape, and a durable little Mac laptop.Always ready to share a laugh and an opinion, the Gilberts emphasize the joy of living for Christ in the midst of doom and gloom news.Their first podcast, PID (Peering Into Darkness) Radio connected Derek and Sharon to Tom Horn, L. A. Marzulli, Gary Stearman and Bob Ulrich (Prophecy Watchers), Steve Quayle, Dr. Michael Heiser, and too many others to mention.Those relationships developed into research, writing, and broadcasting for SkyWatchTV, which spawned the programs SciFriday, Unraveling Revelation, and The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries, as well as cutting-edge books on theology and end-times prophecy like The Great Inception, Last Clash of the Titans, Bad Moon Rising, The Day the Earth Stand
