Obama turns 'prepper,' warns of coming 'crisis' 'Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit'
WND ^ | August 29, 2014 | Bob Unruh

President Obama on Friday turned prepper, with a proclamation regarding National Preparedness Month that warned emergencies, “from hurricanes and wildfires to cyber and terrorist attacks, can strike anywhere at any time.”

In his proclamation, he said each household should have its own plan.

“Before emergencies occur, we must make sure we are ready to respond, and it is every American’s responsibility to be prepared. There are simple but important steps we can all take to ensure we know what to do and have what we need in the event of a crisis. National Preparedness Month is an opportunity to talk with our families, friends, and colleagues about the risks in our communities and to practice our responses in all the places we regularly visit.”

He said Americans “should be familiar with local threats and hazards and take steps to reduce their devastating impacts.”

“Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit well in advance and have a plan to reconnect after a tragedy,” the president said.

He said his administration has invested “billions of dollars” in disaster relief.

“We bolstered coordination with our local, state, tribal, and territorial partners to cut through red tape and kept our commitment to rebuild stronger and fully recover together. We are harnessing our nation’s innovative spirit to develop new tools and technologies that will empower survivors and better inform Americans before, during, and after an emergency.”

And he boasted of launching “America’s PrepareAthon!” to help with readiness.

Notice how he didn’t say anything about having a firearm to protect your family if the SHTF? Without that, all of the rest of your preparations are useless. Because somebody else with a firearm can just take it all away from you.

That's because they are well prepped for that already.

I re-read his statement through the perspective of him trying to go on record for later plausible deniability when it hits the fan. I think that’s what he’s doing.

I think so, too. After years of telling everyone that preppers are terrorists he now says we should prep.
In other words: "See, I told you you should have prepped. Not my fault."

Guess he heard something on the news that scared him.

By getting people to buy stuff it spurs the economy. Also if enough people buy preps it will make it more plentiful if/when the government needs to confiscate your stuff as there will be more to take.

If Obama thinks we should start prepping, it must be time to get rid of all our prepping supplies!

President Obama on Friday

News dump day. What's this Preparedness Month (Sept) stuff? Never heard of it before. Something must be speeding down the pike.

he said each household should have its own plan.

Because the government won't be there holding your hand. Thank goodness the EBT crowd can now order their food online to be delivered to their door. You silly taxpayers will be outta luck.
