Your window to prepare, even with the basics, is closing.
For those tracking the indicators that an event is increasingly likely, you know that it is now undeniable that something is brewing. It has now reached the point to where national governments are now overtly telling civilians to make preparations, however basic.
As part of my career in the US intelligence community, one of things I supported was Counterintelligence threats to Continuity of Government (COG) and Continuity of Operations (COOP). Something i can say for absolute certain is that once governments signal that their citizens need to prepare, those preparations have already been conducted for national leadership.
Governments plan for two course of action; bug in and bug out. Bug in involves hunkering down where they are. They lock down the facility. No one in and no one out. Bug out involves the relocation to a secure location that is away from potential threats, which includes hungry people. They lock down. No one in. No one out.
It would be wise for you to assess your current situation and decide the appropriate course of action for yourself and family.
What has been happening over the past several years is that the affluent have been making their own preparations for crisis, including efforts to secure survivable locations away from major population centers, storing food, water, and the means to defend those locations.
The most recent loud signals are likely our last real warning. Governments from Eastern Europe to the UK are now telling people to have the basics on hand to weather a bad situation. Notably, this is on the back drop, for those that remember, when "prepping" was aligned with anti-government extremism under the Obama administration. What you will notice over the next several weeks is the expanding time period that governments call for people to prepare. In Europe, its currently between 3 days and a week. However, the US just sent the loudest signal concerning how significant the situation is; military bases must be self-sufficient for 90 days. The gravity of this can't be understated.
The calls for preparedness will escalate in their time frames. 3 days will turn into a week. A week will turn in to a few weeks. A few weeks into a couple months.
What Americans should know is that you will be on your own. FEMA does not have the resources to help people in a time of need during an event at national scale. You local authorities don't either.
For those in major cities, you should know that almost two decades ago now the Asymmetric Warfare Group, in collaboration with the US military, conducted a study on the process that major population centers descend into chaos, anchored on the current "just in time" supply chain. In 3 days, a major city is out of food in the major stores. Looting starts, first whats left on shelves, then people start taking from one another. Suburbia is then the next harvest location. People organize and target food distribution warehouses. Then people head out into the country where people are prepared and things get ugly.
My recommendation for people is to not focus on the "what", the catalyst for crisis. Focus on being prepared and prepare quietly. Those who fail to prepare will target those who they know are. This includes your own family members. You, at some point, will hear, "well if something happens, I'll just come to your house", stated as a joke. But this is not a joke. You have now become someone's backup plan. Don't allow this.
Right now, you need to shift your mental paradigm. Randomize when you go to the store. Avoid dark hours. Slow down how many times Amazon deliveries show up at your house. And start to think about how to feign poverty. Affluence/comfort has a signature that is easy to spot and smell.
You can't prepare forever. Even governments don't do that. What you need to do is prepare to weather the storm. As the saying in the military goes, "KISS"; Keep It Simple, Stupid. Water, rice, protein, canned foods. Then think basic medicines for colds, flu, and infections. Then think protection and communications. You don't need thousands of dollars, you just need to be smart.
I've recommended this before, but I will say it again. Go watch two movies; "The Day After" and "Threads". This is not to scare you. This is so you can notice the indicators leading up to crisis. They are quiet at first. Governments say everything is fine. Then they say have basic preparations. Then they say have more because help wont be coming immediately. Most people will brush it off and just say it will pass. We are now at the part of both movies where governments are telling people to prepare and some degree of panic is setting in. This will get worse.
You must identify your phase line for action. Assuming, in any way, that crisis will hit and the government will show up to rescue you is a mistake. Turn that fear you are feeling into focused action.
For those that are prepared, keep preparing and be quiet. For those that are unprepared, start now and be quiet.
For everyone, hang in there. Its going to get rough. 🥃
Ok, read thru the whole thing and read thru the posts after. He seems to be a “ghost”, no verification of his history, and his other link apparently “doesn’t exist”. Most of the posts he has made seem to be from the UK, which makes a little sense since a British general recently came out and told the Brits to “prepare”.
However,
The DSA has been circulating plans for after the midterms, planning, win or lose, that there would be a “revolution”. This was discovered, and trumpeted, by James O’Keefe and DataRepublican. This, for me, gives “Doc StClair” some credence.
Husband, family and friends have been watching the democrats and their brownshirts since the 2020 “summer of love” and quietly prepping for what we believe is coming. Nothing big- just basic.
For those who live in the cities...you might want to brush up on your guerilla skills.
If you don’t have Beats headphones and a large stash of rap music, you ain’t gonna make it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that’s what the CDC numbers say. Science!
Runnng water and a fire starter should do.
There are enough land whales waddling by to provide BBQ for months.
Many people, it seems, don’t even have 3 days of Food and Drink
Since 09/11/2001 I have watched as my local grocery stores
and Wal-Mart are overrun by people the day before
a big Winter Storm is Coming
The places are packed
I might be picking up a few odds and ends
or something like milk but they ALWAYS
go crazy the day before the storms
Like Clockwork
I watched as shelves for Bread, Meats, Chicken,
Canned Vegetables, Canned Soup, etc. sat EMPTY
during COVID-19(84) too. Took a few pictures.
EMPTY for weeks and even a couple of months.
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
Y2K is just around the bend
They will need to find a softer target.
Maybe but it seems to me the Bible predicts great unrest before the Rapture ... kinda like the 7 year Tribulation ... I know ... people can’t come to a common agreement on whether Christians will be Raptured before or after the Tribulation.
I don’t believe in a Rapture, as I think the Lord will return once and for all. Sadly, too many Americans also seem to think that everything hinges upon the status of our national prosperity. The truth is that we could be a wasteland for centuries or longer before Jesus returns. Our national status isn’t privileged in the Kingdom of God.
I think people would still want to eat while waiting, eh.
“Y2K is just around the bend”
CCR knew this long ago, it’s ‘Up Around The Bend’
My guess is that a “Carrington Event” that takes down the electric grid is seen as increasingly likely due to a major uptick in solar activity.
“something big is coming but I can’t tell you, but you better be prepared for it!”
we deserve better psyops.
Prepping is a lifestyle. It’s never a waste of time and money because what you stocked up on several years ago cost a whole lot less than what it costs today. You rotate your food items so they are always fresh. There should be enough toilet paper to insulate your house and make oil filters for your carfor the rest of your life. You never know when personal tragedy will strike forcing you to depend on what you set aside. Your inco.e would stop totally due to illness or injury. How long can you make it without any income tall?
If you can help others during atime of strife for them, itsnot waste of time or money. Do yhe best you can, don’t befearful, an# seek wisdom from god.
Two possibilities. Also note that all this verbiage about coming disaster are in Western countries — mostly under control of commie trash globalists.
1) the scum in charge see that they are gonna be “on the wrong side of history” in next three years. Purges pending. So, create chaos and tell everyone that NOW is not the time to change governments.
2) Inbound alien invasion. And, no, not trash from earth shitteoles countries. The JamesWebb and Grace telescopes have confirmed inbound ships and the shitte is about to hit the fan.

Sure, don’t have a life, become a nutter, my advice is become prepared and and stay prepared which is easy to do, remain normal and enjoy life and just be better prepared for emergencies.
Just tell all the people in 536 that all they needed to to be ready for the Lord's return.
They also needed some wheat stores.
Or the guys in 1816.
Same.
Or the guys in 1936. Who needed to find some place else to live.
Or so on and so forth.
Being ready for the Lord's return is great and all. But you also need to bring in the fire wood.
I was actually using my Y2K stash of TP during Covid! And giving some to neighbors as well.
What good are notebooks?
