People, have you been following the weekend's events? This is moving us in a new and ugly direction. God help anybody living in a city.

By now it should be apparent to all that we have to be and remain prepped, because flak is coming from every direction. Our own citizens and civil employees turning against even the quietest and most home-body among us - did you see the thread about people standing on their own porch being shot by rubber bullets because they didn't run off their own porch into their home the moment ordered to by LE? This is not acceptable.

China and Russia each have their own designs on this country, and covid-19 is far from over, but should flare crazily about two weeks after all the rioting without wearing protection.

The fact that this is an election year alone would be enough to put us all in serious "prepared and quiet" mode, yet that hasn't even come into effect yet.

Somebody please green pin this thread to the front page on Monday - more people need to be aware of the issues of preparedness if they want to survive and prosper, or at least to survive in the immediate future, and beyond, and prosper again at a later time.
