WOULD APPRECIATE INPUTS
WHICH DO
NOT
COMPROMISE OUR TROOPS OR PATRIOTIC CONCERNS . . .
HOWEVER . . . . Many of us have relationships with folks who have occasion to observe fairly public indications of impending grand events.
Given John Bolton's warnings . . .
Given Russia's warnings . . .
Given Cliff High's recently published new edition of his webbot pattern tracking software . . .
Given a list of other such warnings . . .
WWIII appears to be as close as 6 days or so from getting kicked off up to into November as a starting date.
Have you observed anything or do you know anyone who's observed anything which could add to such issues, concerns, speculations?
Given the obvious importance of these issues, I suspect that the FREEPER EXPERTISE could shine well above average in behalf of the prep of all FREEPERS on such scores.
I hope this query is treated as seriously as it deserves to be treated given the stakes.
May as well start with our group!
The ROMEOs that I see several times a week speak often of war..... CWII though, not WWIII.
Outside of FR, none.
Nothing specific, but I have never seen the average American so mad in my life, including the Vietnam years. The big O has created a huge rift in this country between everyone! Black/white, rich/poor, legal/illegal, muslim/christian, elitists/common, haves/have nots,the list goes on and on. Is is now becoming an uproar with his constantly taking sides with the Muslims against America’s Christians.
Prepare yourself.
Don’t expect anything but criticism from those you would expect to be sympathetic.
They still are clinging on to “Hope” that things will get better in the next couple of months - or - next couple of years.
Accept the fact that being a true patriot means you just might have to take things into your own hands until the “spineless” patriots see you stand up and take action and they feel they can justify fighting back.
STOCK UP ON::
WATER
CANNED FOODS
TOILET PAPER
SEEDS
WEAPONS + AMMO
UTENSILS AND NAPKINS
IMPROVE YOUR LEECH FIELD CAPABILITIES FOR WHEN THE WATER RUNS OUT
make sure you and your family has emergency contact information on where to assemble if disaster happens: place, time, method of contact
Cuz, it’s coming. Either domestic terror or some SCUD variant with a nuke from the shores...
Additionally, the question arises as to who he would side with in an international event since he has snubbed our allies and bowed to our enemies at every opportunity.
>>Outside of FR, none.<<
That is sort of the same for me, but to be honest, I live in Seattle and the subject doesn’t really come up at all unless I’m the one bringing it up.
I just left a band that was all liberals except for me and they all had an amazing “everything’s fine, nothing to see here folks” attitude about everything. What is comical is that I would make predictions and they would come true and nobody wanted to talk about them. ;)
I would be greatly surprised if anything big develops within the next year. But I’ve been greatly surprised before.
As far as CWII goes...I don’t think it will anytime soon but... war clouds will gather with official agencies confronting official agencies...state or local vs. federal or even fed vs. fed over a non-compliance issue. We almost saw it with the Terry Schiavo case. Some LEOs may not take kindly to certain orders.
I’ve heard no specific timeframe other than “soon.” The two acquaintances who voted for Hussien have now seen the light and they are getting worried (too little, too late, no thanks to them). The conservatives here are prepping. They are getting their stuff in order, trying to pay down bills and thinking ahead to what if. There is an underlying worry and concern for their children’s generation because they don’t have the life skills or memories of hard times. It is going to hit the fan, it’s just a matter of time.
I work on a navy base with military all around, and no one in the navy talks about it either.
This is merely a thought, but please don’t take it as my thinking your question is frivolous.
I believe we’re heading not for a traditional “war” of any kind, but, for want of a better term, not a cold war but a Slow War.
I’m expecting more of a slow breaking down of society than I am a shooting war. Certain institutions will simply cease to function, and a much lower quality of life will be accepted because it won’t be a case of reverse-technological progress. We will still have our satellite TVs and Internet and computer games and such, so to the slow-witted things will seem to be the same.
But certain forms of commerce will slow down, and people will gradually stop taking certain comforts for granted.
I could very easily see that we will have our cable TV even as we have to travel much farther for everyday necessities.
Again, none outside of FR. Many heads in the sand, sadly.
The girl i was dating last year...was over her brother’s house for thanksgiving
he had a best friend over who was CIA, worked on computers
we spoke a little, i asked him what he was doing for home defense...he hesitated, I told him I was Marine, that I was stockign up on canned goods and water
he just vigorously started shaking his head yes.
Lots of lefties on Facebook complaining that Obama lied and hasn’t retreated from Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve seriously soured on him over that. And the NYC mosque issue is seriously roiling our east coast friends - Jewish libs included.
Obama sure is hellbent on alienating everyone right now.
About two years ago I began posting “free republic” type information in my local papers as often as possible. I do this with the hopes of being able to educate at least one person who only receives information from the MSM. When I started, I would usually have people debate my comments (i.e. debt, unemployment, constitution). During the past three months, I have not been debated at all and the majority of the comments are in line with a “Freepers” viewpoint. I find this a very telling sign of the mode of the country. You also see similar postings on Yahoo and YouTube which appear to becoming the norm.
In blue sw PA, it jobs. The lack of jobs; hours being cut; college kids working retail (because they are having troubles finding a job ‘in their field.’)
World events, outside of my cyberFRiends, aren’t really discussed. And subjects ‘changed’ when brought up. Too many heads, buried in the sands of Hopium I fear...
What are ROMEOs?
I hear it discussed a lot on conservative oriented boards. Folks don’t seem to question the IF part. Most discussions are how and when.
Many folks keep saying “This is America! i.e. it can’t happen here.” I think that is a nervous wish.
