1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
2Peter 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in [a]destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
Consider where we are right now. We have political leaders in the US who know that this meteor shower is going to hit and that when it does it will kill many, maybe even a million Americans. What should they do? You might immediately say "warn people", "evacuate them", "try to save as many as possible". True, but if they do that they will be right there at the most dangerous place trying to evacuate people as this meteor shower strikes! They would be the captain going down with the ship.
However, if they don't tell anyone they could evacuate to a very safe bunker underground right before the strike. There would not be any mass hysteria, no giant traffic jams, riots or looting to make it difficult to get to safety. Also, since you know this is going to happen in advance you can take action to protect your investments. Financially this catastrophe could be very good for you.
But what happens afterwards, will they still want you to be the governor, or president? There will be four groups of people, those who died, those who were injured or suffered loss, those who were not directly harmed but were spectators, and then those like yourself who profited. Some of those who survive will realize you were a gutless coward only looking out for yourself. You can argue you did it for "the greater good" (translated means your greater good and all those who profited along with you). There will be those in the grey area who don't know what to think, kind of confused by the "greater good" argument. There will be those who are oblivious only talking about what the Kardashians did the day before, and then there will be others like yourself who acted in self interest.
All those who acted in self interest will be those who profited and it is now in their own self interest to push this "greater good" narrative talking about how heroic it was to say nothing. Those who are befuddled with the Kardashians will parrot this rather than admit they are clueless as to what is going on. As a result you can fill the airwaves with everyone talking about how courageous it was to say nothing and let a million people die "for the greater good". But you will have a problem with those who know you are a gutless coward. So you need to get control of their ability to speak. Censor them and pass laws like Australia where you can go in and change their posts in social media. You want to get ahead of this thing.
You can even figure out who is on to you prior to the meteor shower and begin to label them as terrorists. When you say they are the biggest threat to this country it is true, they are the biggest threat to you for sure. The world is going to want an enemy, someone to blame and someone to hate so you need to give them that person. Also suggest that those who died were being judged by God. Don't say it directly, rather say things like "we should not say this" and "those who say this are being cruel and insensitive". You plant the seed of this being true while at the same time explain that no one would say this because we are too kind. If the people who died were being judged by God then your crime in doing nothing to save them is mitigated.
