    DHS Says be Ready for 6 MONTHS with No Power, Medical, Fuel, Cash, Food, Water ETC...

    Report from DHS talking about how our electrical grid is a target for frequent hacking and leaves large parts of the nation vulnerable to extended outages and resultant issues in the flow of goods and services.


    https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/fi...08%20FINAL.pdf



    From the Executive Summary portion:

    After interviews with dozens of senior leaders and
    experts and an extensive review of studies and statutes,
    we found that existing national plans, response
    resources, and coordination strategies would be
    outmatched by a catastrophic power outage. This
    profound risk requires a new national focus. Significant
    public and private action is needed to prepare for and
    recover from a catastrophic outage that could leave the
    large parts of the nation without power for weeks or
    months, and cause service failures in other sectors—
    including water and wastewater, communications,
    transportation, healthcare, and financial services—that
    are critical to public health and safety and our national
    and economic security.



    I hope to God people actually take notice....

    Winter would certainly be a very bad time to lose electricity for an extended period of time.

    People would go NUTS if they were unable to drool on their cell phones for one day... let alone weeks/months.

    Biggest issue would be that people use their phones as their source of all information. Seriously, they call with it- keep every piece of Contact Information they have in it- passwords for websites, friends/family numbers and Email... they look at the weather, surf internet, listen to radio, some even have police scanner apps etc......without that they would be "blind"...and scared, and pissed off.

    Cell phones would be the least of peoples problems....a growing pain that would be swiftly subsided by real pain....

    Don't be so blind, if in the highly improbable event that the grid were to go down, that it isn't sourced domestically. There have been murmurs within of a false flag going back to arguable the most credible utterance in 2016 of this...

    Doesn't really matter WHO takes it down in terms of the effect- which is what the report is about- what people need to expect if it DOES go down.

    I opened this thread thinking somehow they were going to blame Trump because there might be a government shutdown.

    Even though I keep up with this issue and definitely believe our power grid is virtually unprotected, I'm suspicious at the timing of this.

    It must be a Deep State attempt to frighten people into believing we just have to get rid of Trump.

    Sorry, the cynicism is strong with this one.

    Oh contraire mon frere... Especially if it is in line with a false flag in regards to a bigger issue... much on this if you scratch the surface in regards to the deep state and economic collapse. Hard to keep a lid on or complete bullshit...Improbable, especially from an outside source imho, but viable domestically for a toe into marshal law for a mass civil unrest protocol at their choosing...but you'd have to go into tinfoil hatish rabbit hole if you want to get the synopsis...

    At the level that it effects you or me....It doesn't matter. I need to be able to feed my people, protect them, gather information etc....I don't care about the rest of it, I need to care for me and mine.

    Whether that is from Government boogey men or the Harem of Soccer Moms from the next cul de sac over after my Lifetime supply of Astrolglide..... MY problems, are the same no matter who shuts out the lights. Nobody is going to make me the "New President" etc....I'm just a guy with no power when I flip my light switch, strangers who want my shit and people I love and care about that I need to take care of.
