I have been buying food for the last four years. IMHO you had your head in the sand if you didn't see this coming four years ago. I've been doing it for 4 years and still its not enough, it is never enough. Im old infantry guy with numerous medical issues however I know my heart and my love for this country too well not get involved; no matter how much my experience and sensible side tells me otherwise, I cannot be sidelined. So it is imperative that my family is at least fed, one less worry for me.

Quoted: Still stocked up from Y2K! Did scout a creek today that a buddy said was backing up. Will get some 330s in there next week or two, for Beaverfest 2021! https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/71410/IMG_20210115_112153677_jpg-1780540.JPG Beaver loin cloth, beaver BBQ, we're be fine. View Quote I'm hoping to eat some beaver too |

Quoted: Not particularly, in the time frame you've specified. Mid/long term, yeah. As are several immigrant friends who came here to escape what they see happening here over the last few years. View Quote I know a few of those, from different countries where things went really south. Listening to them, they use almost the exact same wording, and it always starts with "I have seen this before." I'm a little shocked at the number of people in here who think this is no big deal, and life will carry on normally. It won't... but I hope it does. |

Quoted: I figure that if things get really bad I can run out and buy a lot of guns, ammo, food and water to be safe. No big rush yet. View Quote Lol. You’ve got no idea how many people still think this is the case. I don’t either, but it’s not even close to uncommon. My parents neighbors were running their mouths about civil war and how they “weren’t gonna take the election laying down” and were gonna “arm themselves if necessary”. I politely informed them of the guns/ammo situation and, after they wiped the stupid look off of their faces said…wait for it…(you guessed it)…”we’ll just come to your house” ?? |

Quoted: I have prepped as well as I can, everything else is in gods hands now. View Quote Agreed. I'm strangely calm, or maybe just out of fucks to give. I am about as prepared as I can be for a complete unknown. I am more concerned at this point about keeping comms up and talking to close friends. |
|
Yes, there are terror targets that are beefing up security. I won't say what or where.
We got an email today asking for volunteers to work 12 hour shifts for one of the major ones. |
|
We don't have have to go into work until next Thursday if any of us feel unsafe.
I told my employer I will be at the office next week unless they close it. |

View Quote My wife went to a get-together where one set of guests were older and from Romania. They're shitting their pants right now. |

Quoted: At some point you have to realize events are out of your control and just go with the flow. View Quote Thats right. Deck is stacked. I have a pretty good idea that we are going to get fucked on many levels. I cannot stop that. I did everything i could to do my part to stop it. I am going to live my life the best i can until until something happens that i and many of you cannot stand. I figure someone will set it off and I will go with the patriots. If anyone tries to hurt my family or my property I am going to use the appropriate force to stop the threat. I am going to be nice until its time to stop being nice. |

Someone else probably said it, but it's wise to have food storage regardless if anything happens or not. I am more worried about a stock market/dollar crash than full scorched earth in next week, but either way you need food. Remember covid bs last year, people freaked panicked and people had stanky ass from lack of TP for several months. Better to put some of your money in assets and food, so if dollar does crash, your not wiping with Benjamin's instead.

Nope. I’m too old to live in fear. I’m ready for any situation.
|
|
|
Whatever. No need in stressing about it. I'll deal with whatever.
|
|
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
I don't even care. Let nukes fly let it all collapse. The future does not look promising or bright. Looks like famine, death, and poverty. |

Probably the same people that thought there was a legitimize coup attempt in Washington and think Trump is going to declare himself emperor and use the military to stay in power.
It’s also a way to make everything about themselves “look at poor me and how scared I am”. |

Acts 2:17
"'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. This is mostly what I'm hearing about. Visions & Dreams. You got to admit, things don't feel or seem right, right now. There's been a Great Delusion over people recently more than normal. |

I am nominally preparedness minded.
Not getting the "of happenings" vibe out of this. I don't think there will be armed right wing protestors or Chinese troops all over the nation, I don't think Trump is going to get the NG to arrest the government or anything like that. About the only two potential darkhorse situations I could see happening is some terrorist taking advantage of the situation or the incoming Xiden administration doing something utterly nuts like immediately initiating a 30-60 day national lockdown over China virus. Again, both are highly unlikely. |

Lol, 12hr shift is a normal day for me....

Quoted: One of my coworker friends asked if I'm freaking out the other day. He knows I've generally been on edge about election stuff. I said no I'm feeling good and that calmed him down some. War is likely coming, but not this week. It will be all the gun control bills that send our country spiraling. I'm not looking forward to it but I'm done being scared. View Quote I expect this weekend to spawn gun control bills. |

I fully expect something will be orchistrated to happen to further the Democrat's agenda. If nothing else - so they can show how they restored peace, order, and the economy afterwards. That said, I would not be surprised if they don't also use it to try to pass anti-gun legislation and develop a controllable national police force.
I doubt anything will happen that will effect me personally immediately - but we are in for a wild ride for the next 2 years legislatively. |

Lulz.
We prepared a house in the country to stay in for the months of December and January. Fully stocked up too. I didn't wanna be anywhere near a city. So yeah. |

Talked plans with a few trusted friends, prayed every night, and kissed my wife every day. Aside from that, no. I’m busting my ass day in and day out trying to make something of myself, same as any other day.
|
|
Nah. Not this week.
Maybe in a few months when the commies try to pull a power move. If Chinese aliens come down and want to fuck around then so be it. I’ve got what I need. Not letting a bunch of dipshit brainless politicians worry me. |
|
Not spooked. Resigned to the fact that something crazy might happen. Not a shooting event but this;
Hillary will not let go of the big prize taken from her. I had known of her dealings and wants in Arkansas. Bill getting the WH was a stepping stone to the throne for her. But she has been denied due to her very toxic nature even with Democrats. I still see Biden being incapacitated for health reasons (before the inauguration) and Hill being appointed by the DNC/electors as POTUS. Or, Biden serves for 6 months, resigns, Kam as pres, nominates Hillary for VP, then Kam resigns. Far fetched? Maybe. But keep your eyes on Hillary. |
|
No. I'm literally done budging or adjusting. Whatever happens, happens, but dead or in prison, so be it.

I haven’t heard anything credible.
My wife, however, just walked to the garage and asked what I’ve heard about some big shake-up on Monday. According to her knitting circles DJT is going to unload a treasure trove of dirt on the entire leftest power structure. This will cause the left to panic and shut down all communications to stop the signal from getting out. Cash only because all CC and ATM communications will be down. I gave her more tinfoil and told her not to put it on so tight this time. |
