I’ve had several older family members text us letting us know we need to be stocking up on food but not really saying why. Is this one of those boomer conspiracies or am I missing some important news?

I've had one text me the same thing, but no reason as to why. The modern internet wasn't meant for old people.

If you are smart you would always be stocked up on some food for any contingency that may arise.

Or is it the rumors of 100 day national lockdown as another of the 10.000 "1st thing" Corrupt Joe has promised?

Because they know the "modern internet" can be monitored and controlled. If you were my family member, I wouldn't say shite and let you perish.

Don't stock up at your house beyond what you can carry. You want to stock up at your primary and secondary bugout locations.

Possible internet blackout (Solarwinds, Google, ATT, etc hacks in the past few weeks)

I'm sure it's a crackpot thing but if it WAS true, points of sale wouldn't work for cards, cash only, which no one carries anymore.

We are starting to stock up - thinking for at least 3 months worth if we can

And it’s not because of violence

It’s because, by the end of March, 50% of every dollar ever printed will have been in the last 12 months.

The reason they're panicking is because it ISN'T monitored and controlled like you say it is. They're watching youtube videos uploaded by crackpots.

I have had a couple people warning me to stock up. The common denominator was each one had a family member in the military that called home with this suggestion.

I'm not endorsing whether it will or won't be necessary, but it is interesting to say the least.

My guess is that word of widespread “phase 1 Covid” is back in play, meaning you need the ability to eat without leaving the house for a while.

Your family members are probably educated and have a knowledge of history. In Rome, during Commodus' rule, Commodus became a recluse and refused to rule after the murder of his #1 advisor. His new #1, Cleandor, essentially became ruler and controlled the food supply. In an effort to increase support from the public, Cleandor devised a scheme to create a food shortage and withhold grain and livestock from the public. He felt that if he could control the food, that he could create a problem, that only he himself could solve and gain favor. His plan backfired.

So the similarities are, government often creates problems that often government can solve. If people understood history better, many of our current problems wouldn't happen.

It’s always a good idea to keep a supply of non perishable food goods and potable water, medications, basis stuff.

Now would be a time some of that is expected to be needed. You have a Polar Vortex expected to hit in a couple weeks. Last time it did so was in 2014 and set record record lows nationwide. A lot of folks were caught unaware last time and it caused hardships
