As the clock runs down on Bush’s time in office, I should be rejoicing, but my muscles can’t help but tense up. Such is the life of one who lives outside the left/right paradigm, a.k.a. The Matrix.
There are many possible explanations for this — the on-set of Obama’s socialist regime being a MAJOR concern — but the most immediate worry is if Bush and Co. are going to do anything to avoid handing over power (perhaps their favorite: some sort of false-flag event like 9/11) it’ll obviously happen before January 20th, which is only 8 days away.
Eight days to go then we can breathe easy and go back to our TVs, right? Unfortunately, the time to worry doesn’t end on the 20th. For months now there have been mentions of Obama being “tested” as soon as the 21st or 22nd of this month (so say Kissinger, Gates, Powell, Biden, etc.) Like it or not, the stage is set for something big to happen — Bush and his globalist buddies have been very busy the past 8 years. The most immediate threat is the engineered dollar collapse, but war on Iran, war on Pakistan, total economic depression, and domestic rioting are also very real possibilities. Whatever it is, I want to be ready.
A search for emergency preparation / survival lists will yield many results.
Some people’s suggested inventories are rather extensive and daunting (not to mention expensive) and would be hard to fulfill if you’re of average income like myself. I’m trying to find a middle ground — keeping it simple and sticking to the basics, less than 15 items:
- lots of water (1 gallon per person per day, I prefer distilled or spring)
- lots of food (legumes, nuts, rice, canned fruits & vegetables, nutritional yeast, protein powder, TVP, tofu, energy bars, emergency food kits)
- batteries (maybe not needed if you have #4)
- hand-crank radio / flashlight / cellphone charger
- toilet paper
- bleach or calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) to disinfect your water
- castile soap (can be used for shampoo, dish soap, laundry, etc.)
- first-aid supplies
- candles & matches (a Firesteel is good to have too)
- vitamins and essential oils
- seeds (get non-Monsanto, non-GMO!)
- gun(s) and ammo
- full gas tank
- cash / gold / silver
(When IndyMac failed last July, customers were locked out of their accounts online, at the ATMs, and at the actual branches. They couldn’t even check their balances. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my money being locked away from me, esp. in an emergency, so I’m withdrawing as much as I can.)
* For people with pets: don’t forget about them! Here’s a good list of items to have ready for cats and dogs.
Everybody has their own needs and preferred amenities, so obviously my list is not going to work for everyone, but hopefully it’s a good starting point. I recommend reading the list of 100 Things to Disappear First to determine what you may want to stock up on while you can. I also recommend listening to the Survival Podcast as often as possible!
Worst that can happen:
Too many things to list here, but they would all end with “I told you so” and I really hope I never have to say that.
Best that can happen:
I’m wrong and am left with a bunch of emergency supplies I should have anyway.
