Israel had declared no fuel, no supplies to be allowed in, just following through on that. didn't equate that to not allowing folks to get out, which would be egypts' determination and call. but things could've changed since that twitter note, it's a very fluid and dynamic situation, i'm not on it 100%. |

I'm not reading the entire post. But how many here are defending Hamas and Palestine saying there's a lot of propaganda against them and they were simply responding to the atrocities committed by Israel. I've seen a few I believe from what I have read.
Palestine must be totally destroyed. They just declared war on Israel. This is Israel's 9-11 Hamas are rabid animals that should be treated as such. No mercy no quarter for any of them. Supporters of Hamas should be treated the same. Just my two cents. |

Anyway… This mess we shall call it will bleed out all over the world. I suspect that our own country will be facing challenges due to the current world climate. One being our energy grid. I’m going to leave that as it is what it is. I do suggest that everyone here and all your friends and family get prepared for outages such as the electrical grid. Even if it goes down for a matter of 48 hours grocery stores will close due to refrigeration/computer issues etc. Stock up on necessities such as water, canned goods, a couple gas cans etc. Bad times are coming. Prepare for it. It may not be murder and mayhem exactly, but it will come here in some form or fashion which will most likely be the grid. Have a basic plan. Have the ability to feed your family, protect them, and be mobile. |
