Watch, Listen and Be Prepared

Watch and listen to what is actually taken place in the Middle East, in Egypt, Syria, Libya and Turkey.  Your future and life expectancy is at stake.  Why do I say that?  Well, if the Middle East explodes as many Middle East experts are warning, we may see the Suez Canal closed and the price of oil skyrocket to over $150 per barrel if not over $200 a barrel.  If that happens, you will see long gas lines, if there is even gas available, a shortage of food since delivery trucks need fuel to operate and producers need fuel to grow crops.  As well as the fishing industry needs fuel to fish and operate.  Just think about that for a few moments.  Give that a lot of thought on the effects of a world-wide fuel shortage and gasoline rising to $5 to $10 if not more per gallon.  We might add, since the European countries import most if not all of their oil, we may see WWIII.  When faced with the consequences of starvation and energy shortages, it does not take a brain surgeon to realize the result of cause and effect.  Take time out of your busy life and sit down and think of all the consequences that can happen and remember, people as well as countries that do not understand history, tend to repeat it.  

 

That is why I strongly recommend that you are prepared at the first sign of increased tension in the Middle East where chaos will run supreme.  You must then stock up on non-perishable food items that will last for months.  This includes powdered milk and items with a long shelf life as well as water and whatever else you may need for your family.  You may see utilities not having enough fuel to supply electricity if there is an interruption of supply of fuel.  Yes, it is true, we have enough energy in our country to prevent all this from happening, but we have a president that thinks this country can run on batteries, windmills and solar power and has done his best to limit increased oil production on government lands and has tried his best to obstruct through regulations the exploring and production of energy resources on private land.   

So being prepared is important. Rest assured that your elected representatives will be taken care of by government, but not you.  You cannot rely on government to help you in such a crisis as a food and energy shortage.  You must take personal responsibility to save yourself and your family.  

This will also bring us to the point of anarchy as people will be killing each other for food and other supplies.  Just remember the past fuel shortages a few years ago and in 1974 where there were fights just to get gasoline for automobiles.  When push comes to shove, it is unfortunate to say, many citizens will resort to becoming animals and turn to violence to feed themselves and family.     

Therefore, stock up. I am sorry to say, you will also have to stock up on ammo and weapons since you may see gangs rampaging in our cities to get what they want with force.  Government wants to restrict your rights for gun ownership and not the criminal that seems to have no problems in obtaining a weapon.   

Being forewarned is being prepared.  After all, if what I have said does not materialize, you can still eat over time what you have purchased.  Your purchases will not be wasted.  But if you do not, then what will you do?  There are companies out there that will supply you with non-perishable food that can last 25 years.  They are MRE's  (Meals Ready to Eat) same as our troops eat that are dried and can be reconstituted with water.  A 25 year self life means you will be sure to consume what you purchase over time.   

Don't based your knowledge on what is going on in the Middle East on what the Minister of  Propaganda, Jay Carney, the president spokesperson, who will not admit to anything or denies everything that may adversely effect the president.  Even the news media does not tell the truth since this may affect the president's popularity.  The media is not in the job of informing you, but their job is to propagandize you.  Don't allow yourself to be kept in the dark.  Remain knowledgeable on how world affairs will affect you, but do not rely on the news media to tell you.  Do your own research and be prepared.  One Hundred years ago, what happen in other parts of the world may not have had a great impact on us, but the times they are a changing.  Whether we like to admit it or not, what goes on in the Middle East and Europe will not stay in the Middle East and Europe.
