Pry provided details of recent attacks on electricity systems and said that ISIS could easily team with Mexican drug cartels to ravage America.
He told Secrets, for example, that the Knights Templar drug gang blacked out the electric grid of the Mexican state of Michoacan in 2013 to provide cover for killing those fighting the drug trade.
“The Knights Templars and other criminal gangs in Mexico will do anything for money, and ISIS, the richest terrorist organization in history, has hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal,” said Pry.
“ISIS could hire one of the Mexican cartels, or one of their criminal gangs already in the U.S., or activate jihadist terror cells already in the U.S., and inflict a multi-state blackout immediately, within days or weeks. Perhaps even a nationwide blackout,” Pry explained to Secrets.
“I am not saying it is likely they will do so. But given the capabilities and objectives of ISIS and our obvious vulnerabilities, it would be foolish to ignore the threat to the grid, to regard the threat as unlikely. Our planning should be based on imminent asymmetrical threats, and not assume that another 9/11 large-scale attack is years away,” he added.
The Texas Department of Public Safety recently said they believe there is evidence that ISIS plans an attack. (source)

Preppers’ PING!!
The largest army in the world has a battalion, company or detachment in your neighborhood. Why are we worried about a few lone wolves or even many separate terrorist teams?
The Mexicans and Central America are already Ravaging America it is over!!!!
That's about all I can afford more at this time.
If I ain't ready now, I ain't ever gonna be.

Generac generator,.22:lr and .223 or whatever. Water filtration, silver, tuna, water, TP, foil, seeds, etc
Really? You still have 'lektrikity and internet, it seems.
That's not the same definition of 'over' that I have.
'Over' to me, means dead children in a ditch, and much, much worse than what we have today.

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, for no man knows the hour. A week?? Not bloody likely to get a warning like that.
Skillsets without stuff can be pretty iffy, too, but better than stuff and no skillsets.

I dint think they care about the grids
the grids...arent SHOWY enough
they want to TERRORIZE us.
they want us to SEE Destruction and DEATH....on TV,...and on the Internet
Theyre too CRAZY to do anything that doesnt SCREAM..Look at US..we are ISIS..and we are BAD BOYS!
Those lunatics who planned the attacks on the twin towers could have caused all sort of “mischief” elsewhere....but none of it would have had the TERROR stayng power that the footage.....of those planes hitting the towers did!
“End of the world”, or “End of the world as we know it”?
Two entirely different scenarios.
I’m presuming you mean the latter.
the one thing I have never figured out how to do effectively year round, getting water out of my drilled well.

Get some cheap booze for barter and some good single malt for myself
How deep is your well?
Except for the single malt. You can't get highland peat over here in the states.
Fortunately, I'm not a Scotch kind of guy.
Tennessee ain't that far, and I'll bet they are still selling liquor long after the lights go out at the last government office.

Depends on how deep your well is. Two options, produce electricity for the pump or build a manual pump.
Better figure out how to hot-wire a gas pump at the 7-11 to get more gas for it...
