Great events of history often start with deceptively small incidents. A glacier melts and suddenly we have Global Warming. Several gay men dying in a ward in San Francisco in 1984 and suddenly we have the AIDS epidemic.
Or a submarine disappears and we suddenly have the beginning of the end of all civilization.
Recently, Japan lost one of its submarines in the Tsugaru Strait between Honsho and Hokkaido. They have looked everywhere but can not find it. They were using this $5M remotely operated
submarine to map the ocean floor although some news articles have said that the submarine was actually used to detect other submarines at a distance. The lost submarine was on a tether,
it was not free and autonomous. It is very hard to lose such a
submarine, but they did.
Somehow, the cable got cut. No one
knows how. They looked everywhere in the area for the submarine, but
they could not find it. It did not just drift to the bottom in the
area, it did not float to the surface. It disappeared.
Maybe it was an accident and the
submarine got caught on something underwater and they just could not find it. It is, after all, very dark down there.

Or maybe someone cut the cable and took
the submarine because they figured it would tell them a whole lot
about Japanese technology.
But, if it was stolen, who would do such a nasty thing? Would China or Russia perpetrate such a criminal act? These countries are peace-loving dictatorships that regularly talk about destroying the West. We might do something like this to them, of course.
No, those who would suggest that China or Russia did such a thing are just war mongers looking to increase the defense budget. This explanation is just a front to hide the possibility of what really happened.

What else could have happened then? Notice where the submarine went missing. That is not so far from the worst oceanic radiation leak in history, Fukushima. Perhaps the radioactivity from this disaster has caused the mutation of giant underwater monsters. Everyone has seen the movie Godzilla, we know the score. What if those movies channeled the future of the end of our civilization? What if these giant radioactive monsters were sleeping but were disturbed by someone dragging a submarine over them?
That is an explanation that you will not read in the Western press anytime soon.
We may all look back at the missing submarine and realize that we were witnessing the Beginning of the End.
I want more submarines !
