In a new DHS report that warns that the electric grid is the “prime target” of terrorists, Americans are being urged prepare for the up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money and healthcare.
“People no longer keep enough essentials within their homes, reducing their ability to sustain themselves during an extended, prolonged outage. We need to improve individual preparedness,” said a just-published report to President Trump.
“There needs to be more individual accountability for preparedness,” adds the report, “Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage,” from the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council and published by the Department of Homeland Security.

It looked at the potential of a power outage of up to six months and recommended Americans have enough supplies on hand for a minimum 14 days, a standard for some prepper organizations.
“Build a Culture of Preparedness includes objectives to incentivize investments that reduce risk, including pre-disaster mitigation; closing the insurance gap; helping people prepare for disasters; and better learn from past disasters, improve continuously, and innovate,” said a key recommendation.
DHS says to prep, then we get dinged for hoarding.

Prepping basics, from 50 years ago . . .

“Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find:
– One forty-five caliber automatic
– Two boxes of ammunition
– Four days’ concentrated emergency rations
– One drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills
– One miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible
– One hundred dollars in rubles
– One hundred dollars in gold
– Nine packs of chewing gum
– One issue of prophylactics
– Three lipsticks
– Three pair of nylon stockings.
Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
Well if we had a secured border and didn’t let in 10+ years of terrorists from terrorists regions, this wouldn’t be a problem.
But I am sure the MSM and the dumbocRATs are just waiting to blame Trump for this

Told that children cause global warming so stop having children, then told we need more people to work here so we import savages here by the millions...
This is why I don’t trust government, they are so dichotomous in their thinking that if government were a person it would have to be locked up in a loony bin forever.
Null and I were assured years ago that the power supply was “impossible to hack” after the 2003 northeast blackout.
Both of us have been laughing at that since.

Ping.
My pantry already looks like a quickie mart.
I always wondered what that would look like.
Prepping for an electric outage in rural areas would be a heckuva lot easier if the EPA hadn’t banned the importation of Lister slow speed diesel clones. They’re an almost perfect prime mover for a generator - long lasting, easy to maintain, quiet, fuel-versatile. Used to be able to get them cheap from a variety of sources until the feds shut everyone down about 10+ years ago.

What a film!
Knowing Soros, Steyer and the Left want President Trump gone so badly and are basically destroying the stock market to do it I probably fear them taking down our grid more than I do Islamic terrorists.

Build the wall!
What was the reason the EPA gave for banning these?
