I was of the opinion that the *third* severed foot was a sign of a serial killer playing nauseating games. I also thought the third severed foot report might have been a sign of mainstream media playing “Let’s scare the sheep” by reporting severed feet washing ashore as something unique, if the opposite is true. I mean, if thousands of severed feet, the majority of them wearing shoes, wash ashore annually then the third – bland and condescending – news story makes sense.
I’ve forgotten the exact wording of the (official) third news story, but it certainly appeared engineered to give the impression that three severed feet washing ashore in a small geographic area wasn’t anything too alarming. I remember sharks were mentioned, in the third report, so it allowed for a small amount of fear. Yet it gave the overall impression that only a deranged conspiracy theorist would expect a long, tedious, expensive investigation to be carried out when it was obviously something to be glossed over and dismissed.
I vaguely remember report number four. But, I missed out on reports number five through seven – and I was looking for them. You see, I’m one of those deranged conspiracy theorist who believes that sharks eat their meals right down to the last tasty morsel. I don’t believe they leave human feet behind on the plate as a sign of their good manners, and lack of greed.
As for the assertion that human body parts can travel thousands of miles: Yeah, but not in matched pairs!
So, are eight severed feet washing ashore a sign of the apocalypse? Well, I haven’t found severed feet specifically mentioned in doomsday prophecies. Although there are frequent mentions of the devaluation of human life, the disregard of human suffering and the overall drift of humanity toward moral depravity, as Signs of The End Times.
Let’s recap, shall we?
1. Devaluation of human life
2. Disregard of human suffering
3. Moral depravity
Could eight severed feet fall into any of those three categories? Could the international media’s attempt to downplay the story fall into any of those three categories? What about officials charged with guarding the public safety in the areas of the appearances of the severed feet: Are they as lackadaisical and unconcerned as the media stories seem to suggest? Would that lack of a thorough investigation fall into one, or all, of those three categories?
My opinion is that the truth about the eight severed feet is being zealously pursued by RCMP, FBI, local law enforcement authorities and other agencies. Perhaps the media downplays that in order to protect the investigation.
My initial impression, from the first three reports, was that the severed feet hadn’t actually “washed ashore.” I got it into my head that they’d been placed on the shore by a human being. Frankly, the “washed ashore” bit reminded me of the unborn baby “washed ashore” in the Scott Peterson case. I didn’t buy that one either.
None of which answers the question of whether or not eight severed feet appearing to have washed ashore is a sign of the apocalypse. I don’t know. But I do know that intact human body parts (remember the Peterson baby was still inside the mother’s body when she was murdered) “washed ashore” is unlikely. The ocean tears them apart and the fish eat them, even if they’re wearing shoes or sturdy clothing.
Sign of the apocalypse? Sign of a ghoul? Sign of something else? If eight intact severed feet and an unborn baby could actually wash ashore, in defiance of everything science has told us about the ocean’s actions on formerly living flesh, then the world has been turned upside down and nothing science has told us can be relied on to be reality. Nature has become unnatural.
That would mean the apocalypse is nigh.
