A better question is "How?" With mind-control beams?
To be honest, yes, it's mind-control beams. And they emanate from every cable TV box in the nation.
Think for a moment: the hoopla about "Doomsday Preppers", and the message that's so simple: "preppers are right-wing nut-jobs". Even the link that Kartographer posted has comments from chem-trail junkies and ZOG alarmists, and it bears out the established stereotype.
We are surrounded by zombies, my FRiends. They are created and sustained by daily doses of mind-control from the one-eyed babysitter. And we are outnumbered 300 to 1.
see #50 for rundown - we are fine. ;)
“I’ve been personally promised a bullet should I meet a fellow FReeper during SHTF.”
I remember that. You don’t look/act very worried.
Re your tag line -
“They always scream on the way down. Sigh. I don’t know why.”
Can’t remember what story that is from.
Well the guy would have to travel over several hundred miles during SHTF to get here and by the time he got here he would most likely leave in disgust because of the line he’d have to stand in to wait his turn.
Okay, I had read that post. With every hurricane I’ve been through, I have learned better ways to do some things and fix holes I had in preps.
FIRST thing to do when power goes off. Put stopper in garbage disposal - food scraps put in there will stay there and you have to get it out - messy job.
“...because of the line he’d have to stand in to wait his turn.”
The vast majority of Freepers (((love))) you, only a few are nutcases and they will die soon when TSHTF.
After these terrible storms, I just dare anyone to dump on a prepper.
Given the recent climate on FR, I'm not surprised.
That would work - now, if I can find one that color... I felt like a dunce when I put the scraps in the disposal and hit the switch. That switch stayed off for 5 days. Also, it took a few times flipping a light switch to remind me they didn’t work. I had several ways to have light, but the switch habit happened a few times at first.
A piece of duct tape would solve the problem. ;-)
I would be out of fresh milk.
I would have to borrow some from my mom or drink the instant stuff.
The generator would keep the fridge and fans going.
AC would be off.
I would be very miffed because my business depends on the post office being up and running. I would have to ask my customers to bare with me, deliveries would be going out once a week until the local office was back up.
It would be a bit of a bother but nothing major.
Back in my radio days we small stations didn’t have generators. When the power went off we had to wait like everyone else.
And I have stacks of duct tape. When power is first off, one has trouble mentally moving from power mode thinking to no power mode thinking. It was automatic to push scraps in disposal but then reality hit me and I had to get it out.
I made another mistake. I had running water and a local paper was delivered evey day giving the status of water. I should have used my stored water instead of the running water because it could have gone bad and I wouldn’t know it until the next day when I got the paper. I won’t make that mistake again.
I can have running water when I don’t have running water. I use camp showers and put water in there and heat it in the sun and hang it by the kitchen sink and have running hot water. I have those for showers, too.
I have these in almost every room of my house. Damn handy when power fails.
Jaysus that was an evil thread.
“I have these in almost every room of my house. Damn handy when power fails.”
Now why would anyone dump on a person that had ways to do things if power was out? It makes no sense. Maybe some of those dumpers were in these storms and had nothing. Will this wake them up? Probably not.
People here should be ready as we’ve had hurricanes, but every time the stores get emptied and gas stations run out of gas. I can’t live like that.
To be honest, yes, it’s mind-control beams. And they emanate from every cable TV box in the nation.

I’ve been saying this for years, it’s one of the reasons I personally turned off the TV back in the 90’s for good.
One mile an hour, I’m disabled with an balance problem, I thought that was pretty good. Especially when you consider that there are no places to stop and sit to collect one’s self. It was only because a doorman at a local hotel took pity and went out, into the street, and stopped a cab that I even made it to Union Station. Traffic was a complete mess. Calling metro was worthless. They had a recorded message saying, “call back in 90 minutes!”
Yep, they all have a plan!
You’re right about the local merchants. It’s amazing what private individuals are capable of, especially when compared to government efforts!
