Take it for what it's worth, but if you know me I have been around since before Voat - same name. I am pretty low key I think but judge for yourself.
Anyhoo, my husband got a call from his brother, former Commander in the Navy. He is hearing that things are going to get a little crazy in around four weeks and that people should have four weeks of food and water just in case. Be able to sterilize water too. Something to do with panicking deep staters trying to block ports and food supply. This brother is really smart - many engineering patents to his name in his post military civilian career. Retired now but was literally considered intellectual property when his company was bought and sold, etc. The regular Joe brothers tend to think he's a right wing nut, and he is absolutely right wing but so am I so that doesn't really dissuade me. Not gonna lie sometimes I think he's a little out there. But he still has friends in high places and he knows people think he's nuts but feels it's important to share. Thought I should too and let people do what they want. His point is if you spend $600 to stock up and nothing happens, you still have $600 worth of food and water. If you don't and you end up really needing it....you don't.
True, and not saying don't do it. Can't hurt if you can afford to.
However, there's Q#528:
I guess the question is does that mean safe in a not dead way or safe in a comfortable way. There was a time when the story was the Dems were trying to launch a missile and Trump was going to the bases to override it. I take it the mean we are safe from a mass casualty type of event but I don’t know that means there won’t be some tough weeks and if you’re not prepared you’re going to be praying for rain water to drink.
If we had to pray for rain water to drink I am sure Q would have at least hinted at it. Much more clearly than "blackout necessary" (which can mean anything without requiring preparation).
Even if nobody else would listen, at the very least Q would try to ensure that their followers were sufficiently prepared.
