While I think that rural areas won’t have the issue as much as urban areas, it doesn’t take much to interrupt the steady flow and delivery of electrical power…a few hours by a few people each with a chainsaw could cause cause havoc. A few people willing to poke some holes in the casings of large large transformers to let out the coolant oil ,or take down a couple of steel towers for high tension supply lines can do long term damage..More importantly, it takes even less effort to cause enough fear among the utility workers that they will refuse to repair any damage unless guarded by police or other security.  

There are people willing to do that sort of damage to cause mayhem and panic and add to the civil unrest. 

Plan accordingly…..

Not many city services will work without electricity…In a city, will you have water? If in a high rise, can you get up and down to your apartment? Cool or heat that apartment? 

If in the ‘Burbs or in a small town or a rural location…Do you have a method of powering your home (or at least the most important portions of it)? Generators or solar? Can you live without electricity if not? DO you need electrical power to run your heating system? 

Refrigerators? Do you have an electric stove (if so, you might wanna plan an alternate means of cooking).  Can you live without power? Do you need refrigeration to keep your medication from spoiling? Do you meed power to make your well work? CAN YOU EVEN OPEN YOUR GARAGE WITHOUT POWER (Most can, but not all).  How much of your life needs electricity? Can you live without it? 

If you have a generator…..do you have fuel for it? How much? For how long can you deal without utility power Have you done a realistic assessment of how much you will need to run a standby generator to deal with the minimum time you will need power? (Hint: It is likely more than you realize.. say 4 hours a day, minimum, times say 2 gallons an hour, for say 2 weeks….do you have a hundred (plus) gallons stored?)…If you have a generator powered by natural gas, remember that, while the gas lines are underground and less vulnerable to mischief, the valving is often above ground, and the pumping stations are also easily accessible (and vulnerable) to someone determined to do them harm….Don’t plan for there being uninterrupted natural gas if someone should decide to mess with that service as well. 

Can you heat your home if there are disruptions to the piped gas supply?? (even if you do have electricity via a generator and fuel for it).

If you do have a generator, have you serviced it recently? Gas is only one part of running a generator….oil fuel and air filters, possibly oil filters…And oil. Have you enough oil to change it after the recommended runtime? Some portable generators require an oil change after as little as 50 hours….Do you have a spare spark plug? If a portable, do you have a means of securing the generator OUTSIDE your home when it is running? (they’ve been known to walk off, so have a chain or cable to keep it in your possession). 

If you live on propane, it might be a god idea to have your tank filled just before the election as well. Having a full tank of propane just before the winter is a good idea anyway, but especially THIS winter, what with the election and all. Depending on where you live, it may be that the propane delivery trucks may not leave the yard for a week or 3 due to protests. 

 You know who you are. 

No names to protect the innocent, but Happy Birthday nonetheless

 But this Daniel Prude story that just popped in the Mainstream Media (and, oddly, on ALL networks at the same time???)  is a pretty good example of collusion. 

Seems that back in March, in Rochester, New York Mr Prude was all messed up and high on PCP. Cops found him naked in the street. He was spitting and had other issues. He was restrained with handcuffs and his head covered with a “spit hood” to protect the officers. 

His death days later was ruled a homicide “caused by “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.””. (In other words he aspirated his own vomit while handcuffed)

Now, I’m not a doctor. and I don’t know any other details about this case. I do find it interesting that days after his arrest, after his demise in the hospital, that a medical examiner was able to find a reason to blame the fact that police restrained a spitting, struggling man high on PCP for his death. 

I also find it interesting that, as the Jacob Blake mess dies down in Kenosha and in the national media that the same media (again, all at the same time) started up with this story from MONTHS ago. Strange, innit? I guess they felt that they had to have something to keep the Black people riled up enough to vote DNC. 

And innit strange, despite the fact that they keep telling us about how black men are being systematically murdered daily by racist cops, that the only story they can come up with to keep the heal on the bubbling pot of race relations is a story from March? A story about a man who died with a lethal dose of PCP in his system while having a “mental health crisis” running around naked in the streets in the snow? 

What with the wholesale killing of innocent black men by the cops one would thing they’d not have to go back nearly half a year to find an injustice to fan the flames with. 

And if you can’t see the careful manipulation of public opinion in all of this, then you are either blind or stupid. 

ETA: Notice that “black” is capitalized in the headline…..

 You’ve read part one…..where I discussed medication and food and other supplies and mentioned Social Unrest.

Plan accordingly when it comes to your food supply and other stuff you can put aside for if and when. Food, paper products, gasoline….ammunition. 

Lets talk about food. You should already have a 90 day supply of staples in your home, just on general principles. If you don’t , start VERY soon acquiring those items. If you do have that stash, however, it might be a good time to add to those. Make sure you have checked your preps, looked for holes in your preps, and fill those holes. Perhaps take the time to extend those from 90 to 180 days. Remember, most grocery distribution warehouses are in larger (and often Blue) cities. Expect that to be where the unrest is. It doesn’t take many people to block the roads leading to those warehouses. 

Might even be worthwhile to add some to your freezer preps. While it could be that there will be enough social unrest to make a reliable electricity supply unsure, having food in your freezer might not be a bad idea. Frozen vegetables aren’t that expensive and can contribute to you overall health. If you lose a hundred dollars worth of frozen food because your power goes out, at least you can eat some of it for a day or three before it spoils……

Paper products are shelf stable….So stock up when you find ’em (if you can find em).  Maybe don’t clear the shelves, but have a 90+ day supply. Be a little greedy.  Caned food is easy to store, under beds, bottoms of closets, behind other things on shelves. It is shelf stable for years and you can hide it or stack it anywhere. Be smart, stock the canned foods that you already eat (again, if you can find ’em).  

Maybe buy an extra couple of gas cans……and fill them a week or two before the election. Buy some gas stabilizer perhaps (I like Pri-G  stabilizer but there are others). Make sure you have enough to meet your basic needs for a few months. Again, in lots of places, the refineries/tank farms are in places near larger cities, where the protests riots are likely…or where such riots might block the roads leading to the tank farm. Plan for limited supplies for a month or two. 

Ammunition: At this point, of you don’t have it, yer likely not gonna find any. But if you do, buy it. You might need to use it to keep your preps or defend your home.  Ammo doesn’t spoil. Expensive ammo is still better than no ammo. 

It is a shame that we have allowed a small minority of leftists and anarchists to challenge and disrupt  our way of life….but the Blue governments in many cities, probably sympathetic to their cause, have indeed allowed them to flourish…so we have to deal with them until the rest of our citizens demand that it stop…or take action to stop the anarchists themselves. 

 Some stupid fucker decided to vandalize the Elvis memorial at Graceland with Black Lives Matter and other graffiti.

This, of course, did a lot to garner sympathy with the rest of the people for the BLM cause. 

 for any of the people dead at any of the recent “Protests”.

I mean, did ya think it was gonna be all hosannas and welcoming arms? Have a beer and let’s sit and talk out or differences? 

Aaron J. Danielson was killed in Portland. He came to an area and had to know that it was dangerous. He was looking for a fight and found one. 

Same same Kyle Rittenhouse. He may be a kid, and he may not have intended to be chased by the Mob and have to defend himself and shoot and kill 2 men and wound another, but he should have been smarter (even as a 17 year old) than to be alone in that crowd. Stayed where he was until morning. He didn’t. He found more than he bargained for, but he should have been smarter. 

Same thing with the three lowlifes he shot. They weren’t there to hand out flyers.  

“Don’t want none, don’t bring none”.

The best way to not get shot is to not be where there is trouble. 

All those folks were where smart people weren’t. Most of them went looking for trouble. They may have found more trouble than they planned to find, but they were’s innocent, either. 

You know, those shortages that we had of all sorts of stuff since around March, when the States put us on “Lockdown” for 2 weeks to Flatten the Curve 3 months to “contain the CoronaVirus…. (which, oddly, didn’t do much, but hey, don’t criticize because Shut Up)?

Remember when one could not find Terlet paper, nor paper towels, nor flour nor rice nor a whole shitload of canned goods? When milk and cheese and many fresh meats were hard to find) or non existent) in your grocery stores? 

Now, I got a prediction for you….

I’m not sure yet who is gonna win the election this fall. But it is coming up quickly. Nov 3 will be here before we know it. I expect things to get….sporty….if Donald Trump wins. (Or if the DNC cheats blatantly enough that us non-DNC folks won’t accept the “result”…and that is possible, sadly)….Very sporty. We have all sorts of people who are barely civilized at best and who have been emboldened by the inaction of the police in response to protests for Black Lives Matter because of the wholesale slaughter of Completely Innocent black men who were just minding their own business when the cops showed up….Or whatever the meme of the day pushed by the News Media and the DNC is in order to foment a race war and pass that off as an excuse for Social Unrest. If it looks like Trump will win, one can expect the Media and the DNC (but I repeat myself) to change their propaganda target to false election results and point finger to claims of fraud (oddly though, the majority of fraud in previous elections was DNC based, but that won’t matter) and one can expect some even larger and more managed protests, likely well-choreographed across the country….and for longer than a few days,  can have a larger impact of our way of life than you might have thought about…

Real interruptions of both utilities and our supply chain could happen is someone, say someone with access to a large group of people who wish for anarchy, planned for chaos….

The point I am making is that the organization is in place…..the BLM “protests” are not spontaneous, but rather organized….fairly well organized. IF the folks organizing this hate and turmoil and “Social Unrest” can organize such things with only a few days (or hours, in some cases) notice, what can we expect if/when Trump wins? 

You’d better prepare. Expect days, if not weeks, of supply chain issues….Plan and stock accordingly.  A few days of riots widely scattered across the country are one thing…..,massive (and planned and choreographed) riots across the country are another. Widespread civil unrest will cause a great deal of supply chain issues, especially in some areas. 

Do you need maintenance medication? Blood pressure, Thyroid, Diabetes, Arthritis….any of these or others? Stuff you take every day? Substances that you need in order to stay healthy? Perhaps you should talk to your doctor. See if he or she can give you a 90 day subscription for that (or those) medications. Have them filled about 10 days or so before the election. If you do “Pharmacy by Mail” then plan accordingly. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT YOURSELF. But make sure you have at least a 90 day supply of any medication you require to live or to make your life bearable. 

More later. 

 IS A LIE. 

The numbers just don’t play out that way. This entire thing, the BLM movement, and the rest of the chaos it has engendered, is a lie. 

I think the DNC thought it would rile up those darker folks in order to get them to vote Democrat, since without that unthinking voting in lockstep the DNC loses….and that they saw the polls last year and realized that decent hardworking folks of every race would vote for Trump because under his administration, they had what they wanted….a good job and some financial security. 

So the DNC did what they could to “Stir ’em up”. I mean, it worked for them in the case of Treyvon Martin…..But they forgot that Black people are intelligent.  They can smell bullshit when you wave it under their nose often enough. 

 I mean, he shot and killed a guy in Portland.

His FAMILY identified him, fer Chrissake. 

Yet no arrest. 

I guess the fact that he killed a ‘Trump Supporter” makes it ok…especially if it happened in Portland. 

Yet a mob can attack a kid in the midwest and he gets tossed in the pokey for defending himself.
