274436, I could not agree with you more. Everyone that I know who has made even small amounts of preperation has also made arangments to protect that preperation--by force if necessery!

People that think 'they' don't have to make preperations, and that when the time comes they are just going to take the items needed from thoese that have prepared--are in for a RUDE AWAKENING!

Re: Top 100 Items to Disappear First During a National Emergency
Sorry:

Truth be told, this type of list first surfaced on the internet in late 1999 [and not on Rense in 2006] in advance of Y2K - I printed it out then and have used it ever since.

This newer edition is somewhat altered from the original- and contains a few redundancies [#90 and #96 are nearly identical] -and omissions [it mentions lumber... but no hammers or saws or screwdrivers!]. The rankings of importance are also significantly adjusted placing items high on the list that were previously listed lower... the earlier version also ranked materials according to bartering value, for example. And, it also avoided mentioning specific brand-names which are not available everywhere.

Something to always consider when following this VERY GOOD advice is that you should tailor it to your PERSONAL needs - and not let your fears become irrational. You can't possibly prepare for every contingency but even with only 1/4 of these items you will already be far ahead in your preparations than those with no foresight.

Re: Top 100 Items to Disappear First During a National Emergency
BTW: Several of these items [tools, etc] don't have to be purchased NEW - start cruising your local Pawnshops or DAV stores.. the dollars you save there can be applied to something else on the list.

Re: Top 100 Items to Disappear First During a National Emergency
Here's a couple of additional considerations:

In the initial stages of panic-buying people are going to grab those things that will affect their IMMEDIATE comforts and overlook the aspect of long-term survival. They'll race FIRST to the cigarette, soft-drink and chip aisles THEN head for the toilet paper and batteries and packaged convenience foods - the things they are CONVINCED they cannot live without as these are so prevalent in their everyday lives. AVOID 'comfort commodities' whenever possible while keeping in mind the need for a varied diet... and the fact that WATER will quickly become one of your primary concerns so try to avoid foods that will require a great deal of liquid just for preparation [although the same water you use to boil Spaghetti can later be used for washing].

I once helped empty an obsolete 1960's Civil Defense public shelter that was stocked during the cold war; in addition to the general foodstuffs [powdered milk, canned meats, etc -all packed in gov't olive-drab containers] there were also 5# cans of hard candies because pyschological studies indicated that small comforts such as these kept a person [whose diet had become severely regulated] mentally-balanced... so a few candy bars [buy them just after Hallowe'en!] just may come in handy as well.

Here's a good rule of thumb: as you read this list consider the things that were in common use one hundred years ago [because that's essentially what we're talking about here] and eliminate those things that are largely modern conveniences. For example: what did mothers use in 1907 instead of 'baby wipes?' AGAIN: let your common sense prevail and you'll be far ahead of the sheeple.

in computer lingo zero "0" means the source ie: Root user/Admin- in Unix, anyway.

So I will add to this list of 100 things to disappear, one that is possibly the most important:
-------------------
0. Your freedoms, maybe even friends or family-"disappeared" as they call it.

1. Generators (Good ones cost dearly. Gas storage, risky.)
2. Water Filters/Purifiers
3. Portable Toilets

Internet access will disappear if the government shuts down the hubs due to concerns about terrorists using cyberspace for further communication.

Mobile cell phone access will disappear for the same reason.

I don't expect GLP will be accessible for long after the next terrorist attack in America.

270628:

Which is precisely why even a cheap shortwave radio is desireable [something ELSE that was on the original list but missing from THIS one!] - especially if you can get one with multi-power capability: SOLAR, HAND-CRANK and battery! I bought one several years ago for around $39.00 and still see them in catalogues for around that price [check EBAY]. These, too will be snapped up by the more savvy planners.
