“It will be the security Guards that will end up with their food, drink and women, just look at history.”

Yep!

I’ve long said that, without a military, the best that prepping will allow is a longer provision period for only a few months.

Hire security guards who are electricians, plumbers and farmers.

I think the best bet is a compound with families who have the necessary skill to keep the compound going.

A tribe.

In the end of the world situation, I would not trust hired help for anything.

Actually in the article they planned to put some sort of shock kill collars on their guards

One aspect of the actual biblical apocalypse is that nobody can escape it.

I agree. The masses that will be seeking shelter and food will too much for anyone to protect themselves against.

These clowns think that by purposely crashing the economy and setting the stage up for 2030 (66.6% = 666 = 20/30) they’ll be able to thwart any resistance or retribution.

My guess is that the Zucks, Gates, and Soros’s of the world won’t even make it to the opening ceremonies of Daniel’s 70th week. There are always others who are bolder, wiser, smarter than those in the limelight. They’re laying low right now.

Remember, the important part of the plan was to prevent the Mine Shaft Gap with the Ruskies.
