The feds are practicing for a grid collapse.

---

They can practice the mechanics of it until the cows come home and still not have a clue.

They do not know us - the people. They can’t factor it in because they don’t know who we are, only who they think we are. The way the people cope, react, respond is something they will never understand.

As that’s a good thing.

Frankly, I think our cities will explode in under 3 days, and will be burning in a week. After that, getting the grid back up won't solve the problems, not after all of the stores have been looted, and anything that looks like a supply truck is attacked or hijacked.

Most people have no idea just how much they rely on electricity.

How would the loss of prescription medicines affect your family and circle of friends? How many require them to stay alive? How many do you think would die within six months without them?

I know that I wouldn’t last six months without electricity and the products supplied by it.

They want to immediately be able to control how the people cope, react, respond...There understanding of that issue is not a factor to them...

There will never be enough people like us who are prepared both mentally and physically for such a crisis, and the people who are not are the ones that we will be lumped in with if you are caught in with the masses...You will not be allowed to cope, react or respond in a manner YOU feel is appropriate, because it would be unfair to those who cannot deal with the reality of crisis...So YOU will be taken care of whether you like it or not, and anything YOU do outside of that “assistance” will not be allowed...

The question you need to ask yourself is this...

Can you drop everything you are doing right this second, implement your plan, execute it within 15 minutes or less and be on your way to a safe haven (if you have one) that is ready to go right now???

I actually believe 15 minutes is too long...

This actually depends on a few variables like where you live, if you have prepared in advance to have a “safe haven” to retreat to, and are you prepared to get there, and defend those preparation with whatever means you feel comfortable with???

All of this is rhetorical and by no means should you respond to details in a public forum like this..Only rest assured that the efforts you may or may not have made will reflect on how well you cope, react and repond to the crisis...

Just my opinion...;-)

Look up ‘elite panic’. They presume the worst of us by simple projection.
