Urgent Alert; DC area.

SLC headquarters has issued this warning/watch to all of USA local temples and stakehouses.

Please inform all of your faithful LDS members to be on the alert of rampaging hordes of free range Gov't Workers; who are being driven MAD! from hunger.

If one of them finds out above your food storage cache; they'll be on you like a new episode of the Walking Dead!

Take all means necessary to protect what is yours.

PS: you may want to take advantage of any free food before it runs out, to freshen up YOUR supplies. Just be careful out there!

As I sit here in the fine office the Faithful have provided,

I must admit feeling badly about those who are going

hungry, all across America, because of the horrible

policy of the man in charge right now: Donald J. Trump.

 

America had a chance to put a FINE man at the helm

of the Ship of State, but failed to place Mitt Romney

into that position.  Now we suffer.

 

But that now mattereth not, as we are currently in a position

to win MORE hearts and souls to MORMONism; due to

our philanthropy and FOOD! we are now going to be

supplying, much as we did in Haiti.

 

Missionaries; as you go door to door in your daily

evangelism walks, be attuned to the REAL needs

of the folks you meet.  After all; HUNGER can be

a powerful m otivator to a potential Investigater!

"Betcha they are getting checks from $ugar Daddy $oro$."

What the fake new article doesn't cover is that they are federal employees and can go to federal credit unions for instant emergency NO INTEREST short term loans.

/there’s no way you should be standing in a food line 48 hours after missing that first paycheck.

No kidding. I’m a DC native. Growing up, almost everyone I knew worked in the government. They all had houses and cars. They went to the Caribbean on vacation and many had kids in the Catholic schools. And these were black people, who white libs would say ‘should’ be poor and struggling. The point is, they were doing alright.

No way on God’s green earth should anybody need a food handout after 2 days w/o a check. What the heck do these people do in an emergency? I was on another board where a person mentioned that her father was affected by the furlough and wanted his insurance company to wait on the premium. They said no. I’m sorry, we’re not talking about the mortgage here, we’re talking an insurance premium.

I may not have all the savings I should have, but I have food storage. I’d be ashamed to stand in a food line after 2 days w/o a check.

I left the area long ago and never looked back.

Whites make up the majority of America’s workforce. Yet I see only a few whites in these lines of “starving” government workers.
