Getting Started In Emergency Preparedness: Volume Four: Number Eight

Winter Landscape

(1881)

So Much
As you know, a perp shot up a school, on Wednesday. The U.S. will borrow another $300,000,000,000, this year. The military is involved in several undeclared wars. The big cities, especially the ones with unconstitutional gun laws, are seeing an increase in crime. The security services are increasing the intrusions. The big corporations are trying to screw the little guy. The illegal immigrants, probably, aren't going home, and so much more.

Hopefully, you are getting prepared.

Of course, with you and your family getting prepared, you're going to be a target during an event.

To prevent that, we (you and your family) need to be advocating for the federal and state governments to get prepared for several upcoming events, like a nuclear war, large gathering shootings, EMP attack, and a few other events, by building a national stocked shelter system, encouraging adults to carry concealed weapons in our schools, shopping centers, sporting events, and ... halls of power, and cut our government services while leaving tax rates the same.

Things You Might Want to Think About

30 Years
Let me get this straight, ...

The dude has been living here for thirty years. He has been educated here then worked here, twice. His wife is a naturalized citizen and his children are citizens, and he currently works as a college professor, teaching chemistry.

And, ... He never become a citizen.

I hope, he like Bangladesh.

Blackwash
Sad to say, some 'Blacks' have low self esteem, so they have to appropriate other people's culture.

Charity
This country has a problem; we like handouts, handouts to the military-industrial complex, handouts to big banks, handouts to insurance companies, and handouts to food companies.

Now, ...

President Trump wants to give handouts to families and farmers. Handouts that I can support.

Doors
Dang it. I thought stairs and doors were going to save us from the Robocalypse.

Error
O.K., ... When the cops show up to a hostage situation, they are going to shot the person with the gun.

Even if they are the 'Hero.'

Finally
Took 'em long enough.

Now, all we have to do is convince 'em that Big Government is the problem.

Good Idea
Wow, what an awesome idea, increase the smoking age from 18 to 21.

Until, someone reminds you that an 18 year old is an adult. They can join the military, sign a loan, get married, vote, and do a bunch of other stuff.

But, ... They can't smoke or drink.

Headline
Wow, ... I guess it was true.

Ignorance
Hate to tell you folks, but these United States' laws are based on British (Anglo) law. The Magna Carta Libertatum, signed in 1215, granted rights to Englishmen. These rights had an impact on English Law; the law our forefathers used to draft our Constitution.

Oil
A better idea, ... Let's use everybody else's oil, first.

Profiling
One of the sad things about this incident, a pair of black women stole from the restaurant, the night before.

Remington
Yeap, people are celebrating this news.

Scams
Folks, they are still out there, so be vigilant with your information.

War
In 1950, the Egyptians blockaded Israel. A few short years later, in 1956, the Israelis invade the Egyptian Sinai, breaking the blockade. In 1967, things get stirred up again, and the Egyptians mobilized their military on the Israeli border.

Being good people, that protect their country, the Israelis attacked the Egyptians. Next, the Egyptians convinced the Jordanians and Syrians to attack Israel.

Needless to say, the Israelis kicked ass and seized the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Fast forward a few decades, they are still at war.

In other words, the young lady is lucky she isn't laying on a slab, erased from history.

You Lose
I know which room these are going in, ... The Store Room

I bet you thought I was going to say bathroom ; - )

Overheard

"They basically have taken a leaf out of our book, ..."

"We have to remember that, while Facebook aims to be your number one destination for interacting with friends and family, it's also a business relying very heavily on advertising for revenue. It needs our data, and the more it can collect, the more money can be made from advertising. The data collection won't end, but it may be scaled back in certain locations around the world."

"... unsustainable, ..."

"But besides having bad taste, our mainstream media is revealing our ruling class once again. You watch the non-stop squee over these monsters and the only conclusion you can reasonably draw is that, for our worthless establishment, the North Korea murderocracy is not a cautionary example. It’s an objective."

"none of the promises that have been made to you will be kept."

"But we do know that race and poverty are correlated. And we know that poverty and crime are correlated. And we know that race and political affiliation are correlated. Therefore, my team (Clinton) is more likely to use guns to shoot innocent people, whereas the other team (Trump) is more likely to use guns for sporting and defense."

"American Badass"

"After nearly three years of conflict, Yemen, as a State, has all but ceased to exist. Instead of a single State there are warring statelets, and no one side has either the political support or the military strength to reunite the country or to achieve victory on the battlefield."
