WTF is going on? I'm not on any social media but here. Hadn't seen anything. People telling me about losing electricity, water, etc in person conversations. I'm chalking it to Facebook Karens and the toilet paper shortage

Has to do with the US military issuing a 90 day preparedness order and UK doing something similar. The idea being that US adversaries will plan a cyber attack targeting the US energy infrastructure putting millions without power for some extended time.. I got all this from my coworkers who are big globalist conspiracy guys, one originally went to school to be a spy and had a gig lined up with CIA but his wife told him no.

I went ahead and bought a big pack of TP and couple boxes of diapers and wipes for my toddler, which we needed anyway but usually shop on weekends. I didn't want to run the risk of a panic buy and not have diapers...would not be fun

The old farts are no doubt sending the chain emails about all of this. And each day the stories about how much to stock up get crazier.

We had this thread yesterday if you want to read more.

This was an order from Hegseth to military bases to get compliant with being able to not rely on the civilian grid or supplies for 90 day levels. Military bases have been implementing this slowly for years. This was just a reminder due to the govt finding some level of Chinese hackers already in our electric and water grids. Which they probably have been for some time.

I just cleared out the gallon jugs of spring water and chicken ramen at my local walmart.

PM me if you need to buy some.

I really feel like this is a tactic to get people spending money because the economy is hanging on by a thread.

The reason is SLECA. Doubt the Chicoms are focusing efforts on anyone in Louisiana, let alone Terrebonne parish.

pre election anxiety

Last time, people were convinced the Democrats and the US military would keep Trump from taking the oath of office

now we're under attack

a guy at work was saying he has plenty of deer meat in the freezer so he's ready for extended power loss. I don't think he thought that one through.

Luckily deer season is open so we'll have fresh meat, but i wonder if my processor will operate normal hours during SHTF scenarios?
