Thanks for posting.

I draw no conclusions from a single incident or report. But facts in the aggregate can be revealing.

I’d like to see more data about similar purchases in the past. How many doses? Dates purchased? Etc.

And as always, I want to know who benefits financially. Which admin official has a friend or family member in the potassium iodide business? Another of FLOTUS’s college buddies?

Thanks for posting this info.

Won't do anything for Cs or Sr.

Agreed. "Placebo effect" (population control). .02

Even more worrisome than the knee-jerk reaction to it, imho.

If a nuclear holocaust actually happens, the federal govenment, and especially the politicians are going to be the primary targets,
and the priority of the nation that nukes the U.S. will be making sure that the important leading politicians get totally vaporized.

Some conspiracy speak of fukushima is out there and radiation hitting the left coast; but 14 mil would be nowhere enough.

I purchased enough for my sons and I for three weeks. Getting ready to place another order; we are on the east coast. Doesn't hurt to have some on hands these days with this administration's failure with Iran and nukes.

“If you like your radiation sickness,you can keep your radiation sickness.
The Japanese reactors or the Iranian nukes?Or maybe a dirty bomb courtesy of the Muslum brotherhood.”

I will give another scenario that will make the movie “the hunger games” look prophetic.

The outlying districts away from Washington DC are ready to vote the rulers out. The 14 million rulers take their potassium while several nuclear “accidents” occur destroying most of the pop. except for enough slaves in districts 1-12 to service the people in the capital.

How about that for consiracy theory.

“but 14 mil would be nowhere enough.”

14 million is just enough to ensure the govt. and key supporters of the govt make it

I agree with what you say. For my guys and I, it is only useful for residual fallout of prevailing winds. Past that, we’re fuq’d like everyone else.

14 million doses. It takes a couple “doses” a day across many weeks to be effective for longevity in an area suspect or confirmed contaminated. If it is as you posit, then it is enough for a bug out plan; i.e., we would be abandoning the west coast with the “party” players getting safe rides out.

One more thing to worry about........or not.

There are so many concerns now, perhaps we should split them up. I volunteer for killer bee infestations. Any volunteers for Yellowstone eruption, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, illegal immigrants, Obamacare, etc..........my mind boggles.

Happy New Year, dear FRiends.

My town issues them from time to time through the schools. We live near a nuke plant. Not sure if they actually work or it’s just something to calm the people.
