Jim Rogers: We're about to have the worst economic problems of a lifetime, a lot of people will ....

[JustAnotherNut]

Disappear?

Most people don’t realize how important the grid is to almost everything in today’s world.

It basically runs everything from our communication infrastructure, to our drinking water and our food distribution systems. But that’s really just the start. The economy, our hospitals and everything people depend on in today’s modern world would be gone.

If the grid goes down, this country will see mass panic and chaos like nothing we’ve ever experienced. And this is why we keep talking about personal preparedness.

The fact is, during a grid down situation you will be on your own. The government simply doesn’t have the ability, or the resources to help you survive. If you don’t have adequate training, emergency supplies, and the ability to survive this type of situation, your timing might be running out.

I would take this drill as a warning that you need to run your own drills, and figure out how you’ll respond to the chaos that will likely come after the grid goes down. Check out our Preparedness Resources, and learn everything you can while you still have the chance to do something about it.

Massive Government Drill Planned to Test Possibility of U.S. Electric Grid Going Down

If Russia can elect a buffoon like the Comrade, they can take out the grid.

........but Russia didn't elect him.....the people did

 

[MindWars]

As you can see below the idiots who think it is all a joke will be the first assholes who get taken out. They have no survival skills and function in a world called lala land' I'm sure you can pick those ppl out.

They aren't asking serious questions such as yours, and all the loons can do is post meme's proves what morons we have in society really.

I had asked that (and probably Kat meant the same ) because of the wording.........could just as easily said people will die from lack of resources, violence, etc
But saying they 'disappear' could mean any number of things.....such as 'beam me up Scottie'


it's just the wording used left a lot to the imagination and on this forum board is not a good thing

I'm guessing not many give thought to the grid being taken out, but in reality it can easily be done.
Should the grid go down people would die and quickly.
There was the history ch. movie out a few years ago , actually a documentary with a few good realistic events that would take place ...........

It would be extremely easy to take out our grid. On the History Channel, they were exploring ways that our country could be at risk, and one of the scenarios they had was pretty chilling.

All it would take is a medium size nuke, exploded approx 10 to 15 miles above the surface, and the EMP generated would be enough to take out our grid.

Yep. ANY small nuke nation could do it. Go to Amazon and search "One Second After"

In 6 months most of our population would die (90%).

The hordes from the south would swarm up. Russia and China would carve up what's left of the United States, and the 10% that survive would be slaves -- most of the world still practices slavery.

Okay, you made the claim, so back it up. You said most of the world still practices slavery, which would mean that the percentage of nations that still do it would have to be 51 percent or better. So, got any links to prove over 51 percent of the nations on earth still practice slavery?

Or, is this just more hyperbole that you pulled outta your ass?

We can only be kept in the cages we do not see. A brief history of human enslavement - up to and including your own.




We are and have been slaves ............................ BIG GOVERNMENT ='s slaves.

but aren't POW's basically treated as slaves (or worse)?

No, under the Geneva Conventions it is illegal to mistreat POW's while they are in captivity. And no, you cannot use them as slave labor.

In this one, look under the Hague and Geneva Conventions section. It does state that POW's are treated as slaves, and that nations do vary in their willingness to abide by those so called rules against such treatment.

If he survives, he'll soon find out how the Turd World nations think about his Geneva Convention.

Imagine what's happening to the victims of ISIS. Now multiply that a hundredfold with their hatred of white people. That's HIS future.

Um.........hate to tell you, but I've already served in 4 war zones. Beruit back in 1983, Desert Storm pts 1 and 2 in the early 90's, and Kosovo in the late 90's.

Spent 20 years in the Navy, and had the Geneva Conventions drilled into me once a year along with a bunch of other stuff in Navy Rights and Responsibilities courses we had to do.

you live in a fantasy world. They HAVE to do nothing. Who's gonna enforce it? Do you really think any NON WESTERN NATION gives a f--- about your "rights"? You have none. Even some posters here would love "payback" for the evil whites.

No doubt the "comfort women" conquered by the Japanese thought they had "rights" too, until their new masters told them they didn't.

And no, N. Korea doesn't have near the military power to wage war with the US. Worst case scenario is that they lob a missile over here, and we end up turning their country into S. Korea's cousin after we take out the leadership and military infrastructure and free the people of that country.

As far as ISIL? Well, there is no good way to go after them other than ground actions, because they aren't a country, they are just a loose coalition of people, bound by an ideal.

Listen..............I get it..............Americans have always been told that we have the baddest and best military on the planet, and we do. They have also been told that we are capable of deploying anywhere in the world, and we are, but it still takes time to get places, and believe it or not, there are certain limits that our military has, one of them being that for world wide deployment, we need 24 hours to get there, because teleport machines haven't been invented yet, and if it requires more than a SEAL strike team, the requirement for time gets even longer.

And, like it or not, because we signed the Conventions, we have to abide by them, or else there will be consequences for this country from every other nation who is on that list I gave you of Convention nations.

Comfort women - Wikipedia

That was during WWII, and the Conventions were AFTER WWII. You keep showing people WHY the Conventions were needed. Stuff like slavery, mistreatment of prisoners, comfort women, the Dresden firebombing and other acts committed during WWII brought the nations together to discuss rules for warfare. You've never served in the military, have you? Otherwise you would know why what you are saying is wrong.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

You have no understanding of human nature.

We see what happens in warfare everywhere it happens. Keep hoping when the shit hits the fan, they'll give a damn about your "rights"

Men who might be a threat are killed. Younger boys are slave labor. Women either are killed or serve their new master's sexual fantasies.

You, and your "rights" will die.

yet without the 'power grid' we really can not defend ourselves much beyond hand to hand combat. Without the computers & other technologies, we wouldn't have the ability to launch missiles, or even find the targets. Our Air Force planes & Navy ships would be dead weight & useless to perform at top level. They can be used to some extent yes, but more like 'blind sticks'......even the Army would have limited function. No communications, no gps, no way to access fuels or a gazillion other technological advances we've come to rely on.......and that's just the military.

Don't forget civilians.....no electricity, no running water, no heat, no gas in the car, OMG no phones, no food.......skip the politics just take a look around at the general public and think about just how crazy any of them will become if they don't have those things they've become accustomed to, they will not give one chit about anyone's rights....only 'gimmee, gimmee, gimmee'

It would be extremely easy to take out our grid. On the History Channel, they were exploring ways that our country could be at risk, and one of the scenarios they had was pretty chilling.
All it would take is a medium size nuke, exploded approx 10 to 15 miles above the surface, and the EMP generated would be enough to take out our grid.

Yeah, depending on how the nuke was constructed. Some give off a HUGE EMP some are designed to minimize EMP.

Someone scoffed at the idea another "Great Depression" is coming.

He said, "That was a once in a lifetime thing."

He forgot that those who were adults in the last depression are gone now.

Best not to mock what's coming.
We're not the America we were.

We are mostly a nation of dependants now. Few would survive.

'Once in a lifetime thing'.....apparently they forgot we've been thru a few depressions, not just during the 30's........and history does have a nasty habit of repeating itself......especially when people don't learn from the past

There are warnings that the depression coming is going to make the great depression look like a picnic. We're headed for a disaster and evidence of it is already been surfacing for a few years in a few different ways.

The Bible calls it, "A time of TROUBLE such as never was and never shall again be."

The lemmings have no idea what's coming.

And Trump is in charge. Think he's gonna be the last president before the Apocalypse?

Trump doesn't have a damn thing to do with it , this has been in the works for a long time since before President Ford even, the corker blew off when George B and Obama took over both NEW WORLD ORDER pricks .

Trump is trying to get us the hell out of it and this is why the propaganda against him is so severe, THEY DO NOT WANT HIM TO WIN , and they do not want him to take away what they have controlled for decades. it is falling apart across the Globe. This is what you TRUMP haters can't seem to get through your noggins.

You DO realize that the Geneva Conventions came about in 1949, which was AFTER WWII.

Geneva Conventions - Wikipedia

The Geneva Conventions comprise four treaties, and three additional protocols, that establish the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment in war.
