Storm Shows Americans Are Totally Unprepared:
SHTF Plan ^ | 12/12/14 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 12/12/2014 6:21:22 PM PST by Kartographer

Georgia Virgili was one of the hundreds of thousands in the Bay Area who lost most of the conveniences of modern life.

“I didn’t have power,” Virgili said. “I couldn’t get my car out of the garage, I have no food, I have no cash, so I’m trying to forage for something.” (CBS)

I've said it many times: You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their ‘serf’. Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.

It is your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national new how do you think that will work out for them?

I wasn’t sure.

The Thanksgiving nor’easter knocked out power for days at my son’s house.

We just got nailed Wednesday with another one here in NYS.

It’s been an active weather season.

“I didn’t have power,” Virgili said.

Once Barry's EPA gets finished with their agenda, NOBODY IS GOING TO HAVE ANY POWER. Get used to it.

Prepping is living. AR, 100 rounds, water, food... Everything else will have to fought for. (If you have more ammo? Fine. But if you have to fire more than 100 rounds your dead anyway)

Pulling that little handle attached to the rope is the kind of Job only an Illegal Invader can do. She should have asked her Gardener or her Nanny to do it.
