Radio

Today I interviewed Barati Palshigar. During the war, she was a radio broadcaster who tried to give people information. She had to interpret many languages. Her worst enemy was misinformation. People had been told so many lies during the war. One terrible lie I learned about was that some men were telling woman and young girls that they could be cleansed by sexual intercourse. Also, there were many misconceptions like the zombies were intelligent and they could use tools. There were so many myths that had to be destroyed. Barati Palshigar seemed like a smart woman to me, and I enjoyed the interview. Her story wasn't really frightening to me like some of the stories I have blogged about.

Castles-The Safe Haven

Today I interviewed David Allen Forbes. He was painfully nervous during the whole interview. I suppose he is shy by nature. Anyway, he told me how castles were one of the safest places during World War Z. Of course like anything else, castles had its dangers. Some people actually accidentally started a fire in one castle and burned themselves alive. You had to stay in the castle and burn, or go out and face the zombies. That's a tough decision. Smart people who were in castles actually lived there throughout the war in safety though. The castle that Mr. Forbes was in was the safest place during the war. If I was in danger, my goal would have been to travel there.

An Angel in the Sky

Today I interviewed Colonel Christina Eliopolis who is a military pilot. At first she told me about how the military's weapons were obsolete against the zombie invasion. Then, she told me a story about how when she was flying between zones, her plane was downed. As she told me this story, I could see the fire in her eyes. She told me how it was her fault that their plane went down. She was thrown out of the plane accidentally after using the bathroom. She found the pilot dead and being eaten by zombies. She rapidly killed the zombies. Then a miracle occurred, someone radioed her. This lady radioing her said she was a sky watcher and her radio name was "Mets Fan". Colonel Eliopolis eventually made it to a point where she was picked up by a helicopter. After she was rescued, she found out that no one had heard of the radio sky watcher "Mets Fan". They also never found the cabin that "Mets Fan" said she was at. I found this hard to believe. I actually ended the interview here so that I could think about all that she said. So who was "Mets Fan", perhaps an angel looking out for Colonel Christina Eliopolis?

Paul Redeker

For those of you reading my blog, do not be confuse by the title of this article. Today I interviewed Xolelwa Azania, not Paul Redeker. The topic of today's article is Paul Redeker though. Mr. Azania laughed as he talked about Mr. Redeker. Some people called Mr. Redeker the devil, while some believed he worked for the devil. The truth is though, Mr. Redeker was an intelligent man with perhaps no feelings whatsoever. Mr. Redeker always believed that humanity's flaw was having emotions. Mr. Redeker had interesting solutions to problems. For example, in the 1980s, Southern Africa was in a critical position. All of its nations were hostile, there was about to be a complete racial showdown. That is when the government went to Mr Redeker for aid. His plan was that everyone could not be saved from being killed and that some Afrikaners would be saved and some would be sacrificed. It was a brilliant plan that made Mr. Redeker one of the most hated men in South Africa. Mr. Redeker had a similar plan for the zombie outbreak. He thought that a group of people would be led out to a place that has natural environment defenses, call it a "safe zone". The other people who were not in the safe zone would be used as human bait for the zombies and would be put in special isolated zone. It was a plan on ly Paul Redeker could think of implementing.

The Army Versus the Undead

Today I interviewed Todd Wainio who was a former U.S. army infantryman during World War Z. He actually fought in the war. He is a very patient man who if I could get to know better, I would certainly become his friend. He was in the hell zone fighting the zombies. Instead of the army putting them on top of buildings and higher areas, the army fought the zombies on the ground. I don't think that is good strategy. The army was loaded with technology, from tanks, to rockets, to bombs. Unfortunately, all this did was destroy the zombie bodies, but not the brain. Then the army tried firing multiple grenades and made a big fire, but the fire died. That's when the army knew they were going to have problems. The zombie army proved themselves to be tougher than the U.S. army at this confrontation. When I said that to Todd, he got very angry. I quickly apologized and finished the interview.

Celebrity Treatment

I just interviewed T. Sean Collins in Barbados. This man made me very uncomfortable. It was probably because of his job. We met at a bar where he told me this surprising story. Mr. Collins was a paid mercenary. He worked for anyone that would give him a paycheck. During World War Z, he was hired by this rich man who's plan was to provide shelter to all the celebrities and stars. The shelter had enough security to keep off the living dead for years. Here is the most shocking part: All of the celebrities and stars were being filmed 24/7 and was shown on the internet. Everyone in the world could watch the celebrities live in paradise, it was ridiculous. In the end, people got mad and attacked the shelter, and the mercenary escaped with his life. I thought that Mr. Collins was an idiot for taking the job, but I suppose being a mercenary is not complaining about your job and just making money. After the interview, I couldn't help laughing at the story. If the millionaire didn't broadcast his shelter, he would have been fine.

The Decimation

I interviewed Maria Zhuganova. She worked for a seminarian-like business. When they were sent out to a place, they were not allowed any kind of technology or communication device. Maria was very upset about this while I interviewed her. She did not agree with that policy at all. In a way these people were isolated from the rest of society. Their duty was being "peacekeepers" between two minorities. Rumors were heard about the zombie invasion that was starting to happen, but their was no facts. They once saw one undead person, a little girl, but the army shot her in the head and killed her. Once people started finding out about the undead, rebellions started to happen. The army cracked down on rebellions and this began to be called "The Decimation". Once the rebellious groups were contained. the Spetnaz made them choose one out of ten to kill in every group of ten. At this point in the interview, Maria broke down and began to cry. I felt sorry for her. She couldn't regain her composure so I ended the interview.

The Undead

I interviewed Tel Aviv in Israel today. The wreckage and destruction in Israel was devastating! This was one of the cities that was hit the hardest with the infestation of the undead. Majority of the people did not even know of the zombies until it was too late. People didn't believe until after they saw it with their own eyes. Mr. Aviv actually found out how to destroy the zombies. All you had to do was attack their head, without a brain the zombie would die like regular humans. Mr. Aviv was a very arrogant man who seemed furious that people actually didn't believe his research. I did this interview as quick as possible than left his presence.

Smuggling

In the People's Republic of Tibet, in Lhasa, I interviewed Nury Televaldi at a cafe. Nury explained to me about how people were running away from the zombie invasion by being smuggled out of the country. The government tried to make sure no one knew of the zombie outbreak, but people found out. Once people found out about the zombies, they fled the country. Smuggling people became a big business during this war. The government tried to shut it down by going as far as killing some smuggling people but it wasn't efficient. Air smuggling was a big business even though there was a case in which an airplane carried an infected person, so you had to be careful about smuggling. There was also sea smuggling which was more dangerous because if an infected was to get loose the whole ship would be contaminated. In my opinion though, smugglers like him spread this disease around the world. If people were contained, the zombie outbreak would not spread.
