This is DS comms.
The largest deposit of clean burning coal in the world is located in Utah. Under sixty gorillion layers of Red Tape in some sort of monument, waiting for the capitulation of America under Bidumbass to China. Whence they will dig that shit up and burn the fuck out of it. Forging their new empire in the Americas. They will replace the entire population of the US and never miss a beat replacing them in China. 400,000,000 exported.
You and your offspring will have starved to death by then so don't worry about it.
>It just mean the military is in control.
They're intercepting the comms channels and inserting the number 17 every chance they get.
Next step in the psyop: giant billboards flashing 17.
Drive everybody mad! 17! 17 everywhere!
