Getting Started In Emergency Preparedness: Volume Four: Number Thirty-Four

War
My brothers and I, sometimes, talk about the "Big" threats facing our country and our families. One of these threats is War.

Now, when we talk about this subject, we talk about responses and counter-responses that our country's, potential, adversaries may take to counter our country's policy's.

P.S.
I just lost about an half hour of work.

Things You Might Want to Think About

Accident?
It's possible.

But, ...

Last time I checked. Villains aren't required to tell the truth to their friends, family, and the security forces. Plus, last year, there was a proof of concept attack; he could of copied.

Afghanistan
It isn't over. Not by a long shot.

Balloons
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Straws are bad, and balloons harm the environment.

But, ...

What got me was the number of power outages caused by metallic balloons, 203 in California alone.

Canines
Folks, just wait til bad times roll around and the dogs get hungry.

And, ...

Remember, dogs are descended from wolves, so they will be a threat to your family, even in good times.

Democrats
They are stupid. They can't get over Trump winning the Presidential election, so they have to attack him at every turn.

Well, ...

That will make it easier to beat them this November.

Now, ...

All we have to do is get the Republicans to quit grovelling and reduce the size of the federal government.

Drugs
Dealers are just another type of villain.

So, ...

Make sure your children know about these types of villains, too.

E.P.A.
One of the things, I point out to folks at work. Some regulations are written in blood, injury, and death.

Houses
Ooops, ... Another reason to hate rich people, especially rich preppers.

Immigrants
We need more of these types of immigrants. ... Not!

Mexico
Coming to a state near you?

Racists and Anti-Immigrant
Yeap, they are everywhere!

The Suspect?
I bet you; it was a 'Black' guy.

You know why?

The article didn't say the shooter was a white guy, ... five or ten times.

Ties
After South Korea builds all these new roads and railway lines, do they get to invade North Korea?

Or, ...

Does North Korea get to suck South Korea dry to prop up their Communist Party that has murdered millions of people?

The Victims?
They were shot be a black guy.

You know why?

The article didn't say the shooter was a white guy, ... five or ten times.

Overheard

"The faction that used to be the Democratic party can be described with some precision these days as a three-headed monster driving the nation toward danger, darkness, and incoherence. Anyone interested in defending what remains of the sane center of American politics take heed:"

"Christmas 2020"

"But that seems like a risky social calculus -- especially since Sweden's statistics agency forecasts that the foreign-born population will only continue to grow in the future."

"In theory, it sounds like a winning formula."

"And knowing that, they also know that absolutely everybody else is broke and unable to meet their obligations."

"So, Americans listen up, do not fall for the false promises and do not extinguish the light that is left to allow humanity a measure of self respect."

"The solution to this will not be the same as last time. There is no secular authority willing to challenge the power of the new theogarchs. Mark Zuckerberg went to Congress and lied his face off, knowing they were afraid to lay a hand on him. By the 2020 election, social media will have banned Trump and all Trump supporters. The solution, in time, is the people in these oligopolies will have to fear the peasantry in real space. The same civil authorities that are too weak to oppose the theogarchs will be too weak to protect them."
