    Angus raises questions about military and emergency preparedness

    In the essay, Angus references what he frames as troubling signals: the US Army teaching soldiers how to dig mass graves, and UK media advising citizens to store food and emergency supplies. He presents these as unexplained developments amid global instability.

    “At the same time, the US Army is teaching its soldiers how to dig mass graves. Coincidence? And the media in the UK are advising people to store food and emergency supplies.”

      "Nobody gets married on the Day of the Dead," my mother implored. We did. And we are still here. Two scorpios rowing against the tide. Still working to make sense of a world that gets darker all the time. charlieangus.
