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.
I do have a stockpile of whatever it takes to end my life before people start marching off to be deliver! So - your are correct… I am not worried! Everything is taken care of. I don’t need to worry at all actually.
So your plan if there's a natural disaster that cuts off supply lines is suicide? Seems a bit extreme but who am I to judge.
That’s not what I said. I said that if they start taking people to FEMA camps, and torturing people and raping people. Yes suicide would be a much better option for our entire family. No one should have to live in those horrific circumstances, and people should be prepared to relieve their families of that type of a horrific experience. I’m prepared are you?
But the comment you replied to referred to "any emergency situation". Presumably including mundane/less severe stuff like weather events/power outages/food shortages.
The post was referring to a family member who was in the Navy, who said that people should have four weeks of food and water and supplies. That’s not a natural disaster. I’m apologize if it was confusing. But the original post was referring to basically somebody in the military saying things are gonna get a little Squirrley. That usually means military, FEMA camps, and abuse of people. A natural disaster would be much easier to navigate. He did have enough 2A and other basic supplies to ward off people who may want to lose the property. But that being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the natural disasters it occur, and the government took advantage of that to put their plans into place. You know like… Oh look at this natural disaster… Oh… Let’s come help you. I’ll give you temporary food and shelter, and then you never make it home again. That’s the world we’re living in now.
