IN THIS EPISODE: The one great thing about a zombie apocalypse, if one were to ever take place, is that we might finally be free from the stupidity of politicians. Or\u2026 would we? (The Politics of the Zombie Apocalypse) *** We\u2019ve heard quite a bit about supply shortage during the Covid pandemic \u2013 but how bad could it get, really? I mean, we\u2019re not talking famine, right? We\u2019re not going to go armed to the teeth in the streets to steel food from others, that\u2019d be un-American. Well, tell that to the people of Richmond, Virginia in 1863 who rioted when the final straw for them was the price of bread going too high. (The Richmond Bread Riot) *** After numerous twists and turns to get into position, the fighter pilot shot a total of 64 30mm shells at an extraterrestrial spacecraft to bring it down or destroy it altogether. Most all of his shots were direct hits \u2013 but his target continued on without a scratch. (Air to Air Combat With a Flying Saucer) *** What happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will forever be burned into the hearts and minds of scientists and historians worldwide. Two people died instantly from the explosion \u2013 dozens more from radiation poisoning in the months to come. But not everyone is buying the story we\u2019ve been told. They believe something more sinister took place and that it\u2019s being covered up. (Chernobyl Conspiracies) *** In February 2008 a contract murder took place, but there seemed to be no reason behind it. Who would want Lindsay Buziak dead \u2013 and why? (Who Killed Lindsay Buziak?)
