This arresting item comes straight from the front page
of today's GLOBE AND MAIL, Canada's "national
newspaper."

Once again, we see the same pattern: the authorities
preparing for the worst, while the civilian population is
left largely unalerted to the impending Y2K catastrophe.
Those citizens who *have* woken up and are trying
energetically to awaken their friends, neighbours and
co-workers are already being castigated as "fear
mongers", "doomsday extremists" and "the lunatic
fringe." In other words, its okay for the authorities
to prepare for the worst, but its not okay for YOU to
prepare!

WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS TOO STRONGLY!
If you don't prepare, you won't be getting help from
anywhere else. The government won't be able to
help you. Your city authorities won't be able to help
you. Social agencies may not exist, and will certainly
run out of supplies virtually immediately. YOU have to
prepare for YOURSELF and for YOUR FAMILY. If
you don't, no one else will. And you need to do it SOON!
Already, the window of opportunity is closing fast on
long term essentials like survival food, wood stoves,
portable generators, etc. Some manufacturers and
distributors have already - within the last six weeks
alone - sold out of their entire 1999 production runs
or quotas and are now REFUSING to accept further
orders!

So, folks, we've added some information about our
CANADIAN Y2K EMERGENCY DEHYDRATED FOOD
KIT to this posting. If you can afford to, buy one while
they are available. If you can't, make whatever other
preparations you can - BUT MAKE SOME
PREPARATIONS, starting NOW. We are still
encountering people who plan to get ready "about the
middle of next year", and we can only tell you that
that's a DREAM. It won't be possible at that point to
obtain the essentials you'll need, prices will be
sky-rocketing on anything which is Y2K
survival-related, and you'll be competing with the
entire awakened population if you leave your
preparation to next summer! Remember, virtually
all industries [including the food industry] now operate
on the Japanese "just in time" 24-hour production
principle - they don't warehouse reserve stock and
they can't expand to meet the expected flood of
demand when it finally hits them all at once next year.

We've warned you! Now take warning from the
Canadian armed forces....

ARMY FEARS CIVIL CHAOS
FROM MILLENIUM BUG

Huge deployment would deal with fallout from
computer failures

Tuesday, October 27, 1998
JEFF SALLOT and JOHN SAUNDERS

Ottawa and Toronto -- JEFF SALLOT

The Canadian Armed Forces have been ordered to spend
the next 14 months preparing for what could be their biggest
peacetime deployment -- tens of thousands of troops spread
across the country and frigates standing by in major ports --
in case computer problems in 2000 bring civil chaos.

The army is studying everything from the number of flashlights
and batteries it will need if power is out for weeks to whether
military air-traffic-control field equipment should be set up at
civilian airports.

Logistics officers are plotting where to position vehicles, fuel,
tents, cots, ration packs and other supplies. Signals officers
are trying to figure out how to keep high government officials
in communication if commercial systems fail.

Rules for the use of force are being drafted should soldiers
have to make arrests or back up police dealing with riots
and looting.

As police, fire and other civilian emergency services make
their own plans, military commanders have been told that
meeting the threat of the Year 2000 bug is their highest
priority and will be the focus of all training from January on.
Equipment purchases that do not contribute to the effort
are to be postponed.

No one knows whether a common programming flaw -- a
seemingly small matter of dealing with dates beyond 1999
 -- will cause cascading failure in the world's computer
systems,knocking out in the dead of a Canadian winter
machines that run everything from traffic lights to nuclear
reactors. It could turn out to be one of history's great
anticlimaxes, but the armed forces are taking no chances.

The effort is called Operation Abacus, after an ancient
Chinese bead-and-string calculator that needs no power
and is not susceptible to glitches. A 24-page "warning
order" was sent to military commanders, regional
headquarters and reserve units across the country
nearly two months ago.

"There is a potential for disruption of major infrastructure
systems . . . that may require Canadian Forces support
to civil authorities," the order begins. The commanders
have been given until mid-November to come up with first
drafts of plans that will be refined right up to Jan. 1, 2000.

The success of the operation depends on "public confidence
in the government's ability to manage and provide leadership
in dealing with the year 2000 problem," the order says.

Navy captains have been told their ships may have to be
docked to serve as garrisons, power plants, field hospitals
and soup kitchens.

On land, the official worst-case scenario would have
32,000 soldiers, including volunteer reservists, living
and working in the field.

So far, the army says it has sought no cabinet order
pressing weekend warriors into service. Rumours in
reserve circles suggest the field force could reach more
than 60,000, including many non-volunteers, if such an
order were issued.

Such talk was not diminished by an article this month
on the Year 2000 effort in the Maple Leaf, an official
army magazine. Lieutenant-General Ray Crabbe, a
just-retired deputy chief of defence staff, said soldiers
need not worry about missing their 1999 Christmas
holidays.

"As far as Christmas goes, I don't think you could
deploy 60,000 troops away from their homes at Christmas,
especially from a morale point of view," he was quoted
as saying. "I'm not sure you can say the same thing for
New Year's Eve." Almost everyone knows about the
problem by now.

Traditionally, most computers recorded years in two digits:
"98" for 1998, "99" for 1999 and so on. When "00" arrives,
some computers may think it is 1900 or some other base
year.

Some may be uncertain of the year or even the day of
the week. (Dec. 31, 1999, is a Friday; Jan. 1, 1900,
was a Monday. That does not compute.) They may act
strangely or shut down, paralyzing complex systems.

Or maybe not. The Year 2000 problem (Y2K for short)
has been called both a death sentence for industrial
civilization and a fraud perpetrated by computer types.

Whatever it is, billions of dollars and millions of hours
of work will have been lavished on it before the end of
next year. Greying, out-of-fashion mainframe programmers
have found themselves commanding wages as high as
$1,000 a day, at least temporarily, in the rush to fix
countless lines of code. If the troops are out in the cold,
they will have plenty of company. Police forces have
begun warning their staffs not to plan vacations around
the turn of the year.

The RCMP's 16,000 officers have been told to book no
time off from Dec. 27, 1999, to March 15, 2000, at least
until the scope of the Y2K problem becomes clearer.

Toronto's 5,000 police officers have been given no-go
dates of Dec. 27, 1999, to Jan. 9, 2000, and Vancouver's
1,150 officers have been given Dec. 29, 1999, to Jan. 14,
 2000. Calgary police are considering the same dates as
the RCMP, although no order has gone out.

Montreal's fire department says there will be a Y2K
vacation ban but has announced no dates. The Toronto
department has no special ban but says December and
January have customarily been no-leave months because
of extra fires associated with candles, fireplaces and
space heaters, among other things.

CANADIAN Y2K EMERGENCY FOOD KIT

After receiving numerous requests from our local and
North American customers, we're relieved and pleased
to announce that we've now finalized our supply
arrangements with an outstanding Canadian producer
of high quality dehydrated Y2K survival foods. Unlike
the small number of already overloaded U.S. producers,
they can still - at the present time, at least - ship
promptly. This CANADIAN Y2K EMERGENCY
DEHYDRATED FOOD kit is exclusively available from
us; we cannot recommend it too highly, both for quality
and for taste. It now forms the core of our own survival
food supply.

So if you want to add high-quality Canadian dehydrated
foods to your Y2K emergency food reserve, now is the
time to order! We've used these particular products
ourselves on numerous wilderness trips and can tell you
that each meal package truly holds enough for two hungry
people, and that in our experienced opinion they are
"gourmet" dehydrated foods. We can't recommend them
more highly than that!

PRICES

Each of these high-quality, dehydrated food kits contains
Breakfasts for two, Lunches for two, and Dinners for two.
They also include moisture-proof lockable containers, and
sufficient plastic waterbags to reconstitute the "gourmet"
dehydrated meals which they contain. Each 30-day kit
weighs 30 pounds, occupies a space of 4.5 cubic feet,
contains an average of 62,000 calories, and requires 10
gallons of water to reconstitute the meals. All prices
include insured delivery by mail to U.S. addresses
[write, e-mail, fax or phone us for prices, including
delivery, to Canadian or Overseas addresses].

We can send you a standard assortment of meals, or
you can contact us and request an order form to
custom-select your own assortment [there are seven
breakfast choices, four lunch choices, and seven dinner
choices]. Shipment is prompt, normally occuring within
48 hours of your order being received.

If you live in North America, and you would like us to
e-mail, fax, or mail you a copy of our order form for the
30-day, 60-day, or 90-day CANADIAN Y2K EMERGENCY
FOOD KIT so that you can custom-select your order,
please include the phrase "Emergency Food Kit" in your
e-mail header, tell us whether you live in the U.S. or
Canada], and provide your e-mail address, fax number,
or regular mail address for our reply. We will also send
this information out to you if you prefer to call, fax, or
mail your request to us instead.

Visa and Mastercard orders for 30, 60, or 90-day
standard assortment kits can be phoned, faxed or
e-mailed [to jwhitley@inforamp.net] to us for fastest
service.

UTHIRTY-DAY PACK [for two people]: US$330.00,
including shipping to U.S. addresses

USIXTY-DAY PACK [for two people]: US$640.00,
including shipping to U.S. addresses

UNINETY-DAY PACK [for two people]: US$890.00,
including shipping to U.S. addresses

[Canadian customers: if you wish to receive this price
list, including Canadian delivery charges, in Canadian
dollars, please let us know that when you e-mail, phone
or fax us and we'll e-mail, mail or fax a copy back to you]

If you can afford it, the 90-day pack, ordered singly or in
multiples, is a real bargain, offering the same amount of
food as three individual 30-day packs, but at a US$100
saving over their combined cost! You should try, if possible,
to have a minimum of 90 days of food and water stored.
If it's any guide to you, the core of our own food supplies
will be three of these 90-day packs, plus other stored food
for variety and as a safety margin. We don't expect the
massive disruption caused by Y2K to be brief or easily
fixed, so we are now realistically planning for two years,
including prior food stockpiles and food grown and
preserved from seeds after the year 2000. If we don't
have to use it all, we'll be amazed and glad; but if we
do, we'll be prepared and grateful for that fact!

We are already experiencing a tremendous and growing
response to this CANADIAN Y2K EMERGENCY
DEHYDRATED FOOD KIT offer, so please place your
order as soon as possible to be sure of securing the
kits you need!

You can order right now by calling 416-481 4868,
faxing 416-322 3686, 24-hour voice mailing us at
416-322 7238, by e-mailing us [to jwhitley@inforamp.net],
or by mailing your order to

New World Order Intelligence Update,
651 Mount Pleasant Road,
Toronto, Canada M4S 2N2.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, certified cheques, money
orders, and bank drafts. Sorry, no C.O.D.'s.

[CANADIAN churches, community groups, and family
groups: we have made an exclusive arrangement with
one of the world's finest manufacturers of dried soups
which will enable you to purchase bulk "food service"
cans of their soup through us at *wholesale* prices
[the price that restaurants normally pay]. These, in
our opinion, are the best such soups available
anywhere, and we think you'll agree! These will be
ideal for churches which are concerned about meeting
the Y2K food needs of the poor, unemployed and
elderly in their congregations and communities, for
community service groups, and for pooled orders by
two or more families for their own needs [the large
minimum quantities would feed two families of four
members each one meal of soup a day for
approximately two years for about 60 cents a meal
 - or thereabouts, depending on the soup chosen -
per day]. YOUR BULK ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED AT
NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO ANY ADDRESS IN
CANADA, a tremendous additional saving! Call, write,
fax, or e-mail [to jwhitley@inforamp.net] us for choices,
minimum quantities, and prices. SORRY, THIS SPECIAL
OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN CANADA.
