A Preview of Disaster

Wednesday there was a flurry of emergency action messages (EAMs) suggesting that there was a nuclear crisis brewing. There were people watching flights taking off from capitals in Iran and Russia, maybe others, at mostly the same time. It looked for a moment that something very bad was about to happen.

I spent some time getting things ready to hunker down, checking back with the status as I did. There was a level of trust that it would blow over, not up. In that time span, though, it was a real question and I wondered how many people would have woken up the next day to find that everything had changed. That is, if they were not so close to the action that the explosion or the shockwave woke them or made waking up an impossibility.

One thought kept running through my head. This was made possible by Biden and Zelensky. Yes, Putin would have had a role, probably the starring role in the end, but it was brought on largely by whoever was running the autopen. This would have been Obama’s war with Joe acting as his puppet to finish what Hillary could not.

I began to think of the millions of people who would have never seen it coming. Even if they know the world is a dangerous place, where conflicts can spiral out of control and lead to nuclear war, they would not have expected it that night. Threats are made rather frequently, but nothing comes of it, like it’s theater.

We live in a world where nothing happens to those most guilty and the innocent pay the highest price.

Wednesday brought it home. The most ridiculous people are in positions of power to do such things. No one takes anything seriously and yet, the consequences couldn’t be more profound. If there is no other reason to demand accountability, that was it. I know, I understand, it won’t happen until such a thing actually takes place, when the nation is in ruin, then people will stand up to the corruption. Yet, we let the congress get away with turning a blind eye to it all, either fearful or complicit. At this point, it makes no difference.

I think most of us live in a quasi-permanent state of readiness. I have all of the stuff I think I will need if, indeed, the lunatics launch at least a few tactical nukes and the whole world goes black, because even if one is not in the crosshairs of the attack, the enemy has the ability to knock out the power first thing, before negotiations. Every advanced nation can set off EMPs at an altitude to completely blind their enemy.

One day we are all going to wake up to darkness, communications will not be possible and the day before we will have spoken to people we will never see again. This is the future and it’s closer than it would seem, because everyone in the globalist order are bound and determined to see it happen and that’s about half of our own congress, most of the EU, some of India and some of China. I leave out Russia, because if they wanted to do it they’ve already been given the excuse. Ukraine also has an excuse, but they don’t have the ability. The long-range missiles they have just been given permission to use against Russia I thought was the final blow that Russia would not tolerate and I thought that was the beginning on Wednesday.

When it finally does touch off, we will ask ourselves how we let those idiots, those parasites do this to the whole world and we’ll be forced to recognize it’s because no one wanted to sacrifice their daily routine to hunt them down. Part of it’s financial, and part of it is denying that it’s really all that bad. Wednesday night might have been the end. It will happen very much that way with the MSM ignoring it all together out of fear that they will be forced to agree with Trump on something like peace.

I was not worried Wednesday night. I checked my stuff and was ready for whatever happened. Anything less than a strike a hundred miles away and we would have been able to withstand it and we have a plan for the next day and the next. That’s what we’ve been doing. That’s not to say there wouldn’t have been a period of disbelief and anger, but as for what needed to be done next in our survival plan, we already knew that courtesy largely from Jack Lawson’s Civil Defense Manual.

A lot of people are just now beginning to recognize that they’ve been lied to by everyone for so long that they are wholly unprepared for the lateness of the day. They do not have the preparations that will sustain them, they will be among the wandering mobs, at least until they have been victimized themselves. There will be women and children waiting in their basement for someone who will never come home. Before they can starve to death, it’s likely the house above will be raided and God knows what horrible fate they will suffer.

This is what this period of corruption and complicit destruction of the strength and vitality of the nation has wrought. This is a glimpse into the futures most people will face, until a great swath of them are eliminated, leaving only the worst, most brutal, most depraved to survive. What society will be built with that as the foundation? Or, is it a return to the sort of people who carved a nation from the wilderness? Will they be forced to do so again from nothing, a barren and blackened landscape without electricity or running water? Securing the grid would have been a good idea, if we had representatives working for the benefit of society. Securing the communications grid would have been a good idea, at least then what few survived would be able to organize to rebuild, but it was too costly to consider. “If it gets that bad how will we get a return on our investment?” It’s that sort of narrow-mindedness that is the founder of our predicament.

We are in the hands of fools and unless we eliminate them, they will eliminate us.
