Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff, ... World War IV

Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

According to the internet, it would seem that World War IV has started. (Note 1) It seems the Chinese and Russians are going to attack every United States' overseas military base. Doing this, the Sino-Russian Bloc hopes, would destroy these United States' ability to control the world.

They would do this a few different ways.

Nuclear War
A direct nuclear attack would be disastrous for the Sino-Russian Bloc. Everyone would know they did it. Instead they would use North Korea's or Pakistan's nuclear weapons transported over these United States by Gulfstream V aircraft, piloted by Islamist terrorist.

The Sino-Russian Bloc using their Islamist terrorist surrogates would detonate 4 nuclear weapons over these United States creating an EMP blast. As most people read, in One Second After, this would cripple the country for years, if not decades.

Another option the Sino-Russian bloc could use would be to use those same four nuclear weapons, donated by the North Koreans, and detonate them in these United States. The cities would be second-tier cities such as Albuquerque, Baltimore, Colorado Springs, Long Beach, Nashville, Plano, Seattle, or ... because the first-tier cities are heavily monitored by the federal government.

The effect of two or three of these weapons going off would shut this nation down. The President of these United States would declare marshal law, suspend the November elections, halt all vehicle traffic bigger than a pick-up truck or SUV within this nation, and ...

The scary part, we wouldn't know who did it.

Conventional War
Yeah, yeah. I know I said the war was going to start with the Sino-Russian Bloc attacking our overseas bases. I'll get to that, next.

So, the Sino-Russian Bloc attack these United States' military bases. They kick our butts, so what?

We regroup back in the states and go kick their butts.

But there's a few problem.

We don't have the manufacturing capabilities we once had, so we would have to rebuild. This would cause massive shortages in all commodities. Next, we don't have a large enough military, so we would have to institute the draft of everyone over, say, 21 years old; call up all veterans, including Vietnam vets, as trainers. Lastly, we wouldn't have the oil to fuel our nation because the Sino-Russian Bloc would control the oil-producing nations.

What? You thought they would allow the Islamists to control their own caliphate. Not within the Islamists' very short lifetimes, once the Sino-Russian Bloc consolidated their control.

Needless to say, the President of these United States would demand ask every firearms owner to surrender donate their weapons guns to the good people of formerly Great Britain, France, Germany so 'We can fight the War over there.' (Note 2)

The President would also confiscate ask for donations, from the hoarders many folks who prudently stored long-term food for emergencies, to feed the nation's welfare-class hungry. (Note 3)

Of course, the President would make plead with all precious metal holders to surrender 'do one's part' for the country's economic recovery by taking lending, at no interest, their gold and silver to pay for this military build up. (Note 4)

Terrorism
If the Islamists had direct support from powerful countries like China and Russia, they would be able to wage a terrorist war like none seen in any country. Daily bombing at our places of worship, commerce, transportation hubs, schools, and ... would devastate this country. Just like in the other scenarios, the President would implement draconian measures to stop these attacks.

So what's a prepper to do?

First, don't believe everything you hear. Take every rumour with a grain of salt. (Note 5)

Next, practice your OPSEC and make sure your family and friends are too.

Third, have appropriate shelter for the disasters listed in your threat analysis. Store water, food, and have a means of protecting yourself and your family during tough times (If you haven't gotten it by now, I mean firearms and plenty of ammunition for you and your family) Make sure you have a quality first-aid kit that can be used for serious accidents during a disaster.

Lastly, you know, basically all those things I have been writing about for the last three years.

Note 1:
According to Captain Brown, the world wars are numbered incorrectly. WW I was when the British Empire was fighting the American Colonist's Insurrection and almost everyone else on this planet in the 1770s. WW II was 1914 - 1919, and WW III was 1931 - 1945.

Note 2:
This happened during WW III. United States citizens sent tens of thousands of firearms (and almost no ammunition) to then Great Britain. After the war, the British destroyed most of them; I think by dumping them into the ocean.

** Me and Jungle G talked about this today. His thoughts: 'Never Again! Those mother f*uckers can use the guns they have now to try and liberate themselves. F*ck them; they had their chance the first time.'

As you can tell, he was pissed about this incident.

Note 3:
I told you; OPSEC is important.

Note 4:
Always hold your precious metals physically in your home, place of business, or buried in your yard. That way, your IRA precious metals account custodian can't surrender your gold and silver (or lose it, either)

Note 5:
Supposedly, a high-level meeting was recently held (within the last few weeks) outlining the threat to these United States by the Sino-Russian Bloc to our overseas bases.

Like any juicy rumour, I can't tell you where I heard, who I heard it from, or when I first heard the rumour. Just like any other good rumour
