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.
Wow never heard of that guy but pretty scary. I just asked my husband if his brother may have just watched or heard the same thing more informally, but he said, "no he told me specifically he talked to someone he personally knows who said it is absolutely true." My BIL got his kids - also very smart but still - into Annapolis, no problem. (We were at graduation when W was just in and handed out the diplomas I was so excited to see him - yuk).
Point is, he knows a lot of people that would know. I'm thinking he may have saw the same thing and made some calls? OTOH, I could also see him exaggerating it a little just to scare us into doing it for our own good kind of thing. I guess we are going to have to stock up to be on the safe side. Crazy times.
I sent this to my sister - retired Major and now with civilian side working for military. Funny story she said the Generals hadn’t taken Trumps picture down as commander in chief...this was a couple months ago so maybe it’s changed now. Still good of them to keep it up months after the sham -
Screw it - I’m ordering more emergency supplies. 🤦♂️ I was going to get another 5gal of pure gas. We have a co-op nearby where I pay a premium but it lasts forever. Keep enough on hand to get us out of Washington without stopping for a refill - quick pit stop in our hometown, grab the fellas and head east. Destination I won’t share but it’s our last stand - obviously this is the shit hits the fan plan and I don’t ever want to have exercise it.
