Incredibly, the Defense Department has a response if zombies attacked and the armed forces had to eradicate flesh-eating walkers in order to "preserve the sanctity of human life" among all the "non-zombie humans."
Buried on the military's secret computer network is an unclassified document, obtained by Foreign Policy, called "CONOP 8888." It's a zombie survival plan, a how-to guide for military planners trying to isolate the threat from a menu of the undead -- from chicken zombies to vegetarian zombies and even "evil magic zombies" -- and destroy them.
"This plan fulfills fictional contingency planning guidance tasking for U.S. Strategic Command to develop a comprehensive [plan] to undertake military operations to preserve 'non-zombie' humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde," CONOP 8888's plan summary reads. "Because zombies pose a threat to all non-zombie human life, [Strategic Command] will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population -- including traditional adversaries."
CONOP 8888, otherwise known as "Counter-Zombie Dominance" and dated April 30, 2011, is no laughing matter, and yet of course it is. As its authors note in the document's "disclaimer section," "this plan was not actually designed as a joke."

does make me wonder if they have a contingency plan...then are they engineering this scenario through our foods and just waiting to hit the right "chemical sequence" to induce this in people and then hope the planning succeeds....would at least make a decent B grade movie plot

Look up the origins of the zombie-genre, and suddenly this is a very scary exfil-scenario for a massive "insurgency".

Good post.
far too much spare time on their hands and lots of tax dollars .. the military is not known for its intelligence .. far from the brightest crayons in the box there

Sometimes I wonder what on earth do they know that we don't?
Or do they just have too much spare time on their hands....

You know times are slow in Ufology when Arken starts making Zombie Apocalypse threads.
