HOW CLOSE IS A GRID DOWN SCENARIO?

And I want you to do a double check on your preparedness for this as well, too. Hey, we are brought to you by My Patriot Supply. You go, what is that? Storeable food. 25-year shelf life. Tastes great. Lots of variety in the food. And if we suffer, a grid down is it? You’ll think you’re lucky stars that you have this. Specials galore, go to preparewithdave.com. That’s preparewithdave.com. Well, Candace Owens is talking about this today. And she was citing about the World Economic Forum saying that a cyber pandemic, that’s kind of a phrase that caught me off guard.

A cyber pandemic is likely and I’m thinking cyber pandemic. Okay. Translated new term for grid takedown. Let’s go back in time, shall we? 2013, 14 and 15. Obama, if this wasn’t an act of treason, it was an act of stupidity. He allowed the Chinese and Russians to participate in grid X drills three years consecutive. And grid X was the simulated takedown of the American grid and our potential response to it. Why in the world will we take potential adversaries and allow them to do this? That wouldn’t make absolutely no sense, but we did. So we became vulnerable with inside information handed out to the Russians and Chinese at that time.

We also let them in 2013 participate in the RIMPAC games. It’s a war against combined Chinese and Russians. And it’s a simulated conflict that took place every year in the Pacific. And we let them participate to see what our response would be. Our plans for aggression would be towards these two nations. That made no sense. This is also Obama. You can draw your own conclusions. Now let me go forward with this. The World Health Organization. Wait a minute. They’re supposed to be about medicine, right? But they’re talking about grid down. We’re not probably talking about an EMP attack.

Oh, if that were to happen in the United States, 90% fatalities within the first year. It’s devastating. With the grid down, I’ve never read any fatalities or fatality estimates. But I would guess 40, 50% half of what we’d expect with an EMP. How long would they take it down would be the key. Now stuff would stop moving. You go, well, what about the stores? Well, first of all, how are you going to stay in business when you can’t turn the lights on? But even with that, in an emergency supply, stay in stores less than a day.

Hurricane Harvey that was greatly studied after that. And it was less than a day. Everything disappeared. Then people start to prey on each other. And that’s where it gets dangerous. And particularly if you’re an urban environment, it gets very dangerous. But don’t think because you live rural, that you’re exempt from the danger. And people say, what can you do about it? A generator. The problem is, though, if you turn your lights on at night, what you’re saying is a message to the world. Hey, come and get me. We have resources and a generator you can steal too.

So you could expect nighttime assaults. It would not be good. You have to be smart about how you use the generator. And do you have a loud one or a quiet one? Solar is best. Gasoline powered is the worst, but it’s better than nothing. Now people say, well, what kind of supply should you have on hand going in? The list is really lengthy, but let me give you a broad overview. Food, that’s why we’re saying preparewithdave.com. Food, water, guns, gold, ammo, natural medicine and tools. And you think, why gold? No one’s going to take the dollar.

At that point, gold could become valuable. Also, they know cigarettes and liquor are valuable exchanges. And we see that in prisons. Food, water, guns, gold, ammo, natural medicine and tools. And you give up your guns and ammo, you’re a damn fool. You can have too much ammunition. So this is for your own personal survival, not for trading and bartering. And then people say, well, what about medicines? Natural medicine. You need to find out what works for any health conditions you may have in your family, whether it be diabetes or asthma or whatever it would be.

If it’s cancer and chemo, you’re screwed. I will never take chemo. Famous last words, right? But if you’re dependent on this, you need to look and see how would you compensate in an all-new natural environment. And you really do need to take a strong look at this. The World Economic Forum is what Candace Owen cited. She goes, every time they make a prediction, it tends to happen. Now, I’m not sure that that’s true. But I am concerned that they’ve made the prediction. How could you cripple America’s recovery? And the recovery is underway. Gas prices are going down and soon everything else will too.

You cripple power. We’re an energy nation. You don’t have energy. The nation doesn’t run. I think it’s likely we’re going to have a grid down. How long the grid down stays in effect is the determinant on how severe it will be. People say, well, supplies, how much supplies do you need? I believe, well, they say you need food and water for 90 days. I think two years is a better estimate. You go, well, that’s hard to do. No, you can work towards that end, can’t you? And did you see today too, that Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, said that FEMA is going away, they’re going to destroy it? Well, you’re not going to get any help from them anyway.

Just ask the people of North Carolina and Lahaina. FEMA was of no use to these people. So it should, in my humble opinion, be gone. It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money. But there’s no one coming to the rescue of people when this happens. You are on your own. And this is one thing I want to leave you with. I’ll repeat it again. You are on your own. Plain and simple.
