 The Feds Plan To Save Themselves During a Nuclear War
The doomsday planners of the 50’s envisioned a post-apocalyptic urban America largely in ruins and darkened under the breakdown of private-sector and governmental services and the imposition of martial law, food rationing, price controls, censorship and the curtailment of individual liberties.
In the event that the helicopter units couldn’t penetrate the rubble to reach the bunker a backup unit stood ready with heavy equipment – including cranes – to extract the President.
The goal of the Doomsday Planners – like all central planners and bureaucracies – was the continued survival of the government and its rule over the survivors of the very same holocaust that it brought about.

The asteroid hit is evidenced by several factors, chief of which is the discovery of a layer of iridium in a clay strata of the Earth’s crust, located in the very same stria of sediment found in different samples from several widely-spaced, global regions.
The event is confirmed by the coexistence (with the iridium in the clay) of tektites, fine particles of stressed quartz, which can only be formed by violent exposure to extreme heat and pressure, and which are similar to samples found near meteorite craters and atomic bomb test sites.
The latest asteroid discovered, on July 5, is a mile-wide (20 times the size of the meteorite creating the Tunguska Event and one-tenth the size of the K-T Event asteroid) and will pass to within five million miles of Earth.

 Saudi Arabia's Doomsday Plan
In the event of an attack, says Posner, the Saudis would trigger a series of "dirty bomb" explosions designed to destroy use of the kingdom's oil supplies for decades.
The doomsday scenario, dubbed by the National Security Agency, Petroleum Scorched Earth (PSE), would give the Saudis the ability to fend off attacks by threatening to blow up the prized oil facilities and oil supplies which the attackers presumably would want to get their hands on.
In the event an attack was carried out, the Saudis would be able to guarantee that little of value fell into the hands of their enemies.

One thousand Americans were polled in April 2006 regarding their thoughts and concerns about possible real-life "doomsday" events.
Data suggest that Americans tend to be most concerned with possible real-life events that they think are preventable and/or could potentially happen in their lifetime.
Most Americans feel these events are "unavoidable." However, it is important to note that data suggest that many Americans do not know enough about solar flares or gamma rays to assess their level of threat.

The doomsday event Ralph Archuletta, a seismologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara, imagines is the San Andreas Fault failing along with a big thrust fault, which might be hidden in the valley.
Faults rupture at critical stress, Archuletta says, and releasing 40 bars of pressure — which is a typical stress drop for a large earthquake event — seemingly should have an effect on the stress regime of the nearby San Andreas Fault.

Organisms throughout the world, regardless of habitat, suffered similar rates of extinction, suggesting that the cause of the event was a global, not local, occurrence, and that it was a sudden event, not a gradual change.
Many theories have been presented for the cause of the extinction, including plate tectonics, an impact event, a supernova, extreme volcanism, the release of frozen methane hydrate from the ocean beds to cause a greenhouse effect, or some combination of factors.

Now, we know that aboriginals were—aborigines were occupying Australia perhaps forty thousand years ago or more, and it is very likely, indeed, that they actually witnessed this impact event, and their local mythology speaks of a very strange event, and they have a local dialect name for these craters.
The only record of this terrible event was discovered three years ago by a pilot when he spotted these shallow, teardrop depressions in the modern pampas, caused as the asteroid broke and skipped across the earth's surface.
GENE SHOEMAKER: If we get to a really big event, say, a ten-kilometer crater, which is still small compared to the biggest, that's equal to the energy of all of the nuclear weapons in the world, if you heaped them up in a pile and set them off.

Unlike the Mayans, who were kind enough to give us a calendar to keep up with the coming big event, most doomsday scenarios aren't as exact about when the End of the World is supposed to occur.
And it seems that many observers, even those who believe different doomsday genres, look at the world today and see plenty of signs of the end times.
The resources below are intended to provide a representative sample of end time signs according to varying doomsday genres and how some observers are interpreting modern events accordingly.
