Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33177656 No, it isn't. Not at all. Regulators are cheap at Harbor Freight, and come with a 5 or 6 foot hose. I'd keep at least three FULL barbecue tanks in a shed away from the house - keep them dry and out of the sun. If they're in good condition, it's safe enough, but probably not legal, to take one into the house to cook with. A standard camping stove or propane stove should do well with these tanks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33177656 If you want propane, get a propane stove. I live out in the woods with my own well w/ aux. hand pump capability. Butane for me. Much more elegant. I, "escaped," the propane bit. In fact, I laugh a bit inside when I see someone at the local academy looking at Coleman stoves...... Carry on. |

Sure, an EMP scenario may not be nuclear, I guess, but a nuclear one includes EMP effects. Is it not the altitude of detonation that determines the range of the EMP effects?

I don't think theres any way you could possibly "know" this. Unless of course you have intelligence sources. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2911653 Anyone who has done any research on the NWO knows that the common threat to disarm the world, is the "last card". Who was it, Nixon that gave the famous quote of ''them''? 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. "The biggest sign from God, to let us all know that man can never be God? Death." - Anonymous |

Quoting: CROW The military, for the most part, will be stuck overseas. They have created fear about gun control. This has ensured that everyone is armed and loaded with ammo.

| solar2004 User ID: 27769803 01/28/2013 01:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The common threat? The government. People in other countries really dont hate each other. The governments of the world portrait people in the other countries as all being a certain way, which is not true. We never hear the agenda of the people; we only hear the agendas of the government. Now that we have a global society all we hear is the chatter of the governments in everything we do. We do not hear the voice of the people other than what we read about on the internet or hear about in special groups. With that being said control of the internet will commence shortly. They have been setting up some sort of system to shut down individual users from accessing the internet; more importantly means to share information. We know the government is databasing everybody's face, the way you write, where you go and exactly what you do in your home (smart meters). The biggest questions I have is what are they going to do with all that information? What good is the information anyways? Information is meaningless unless there is an application for it. If I had to think of an application it would be to round up the people and if an EMP did go off, the US government would be responsible for it. The "attack" will invoke violence and confusion so they can enforce new policy/law. Last Edited by solar2004 on 01/28/2013 02:00 AM |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 17898558 01/28/2013 02:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do not think our government wants us armed so we can fight a foreign invader. I think they will soon disarm everyone to remove potential threats to their own power. Quoting: Horus of the Two Horizons 22454667 Any EMP will catch the public off guard and TPTB will emerge with supplies they shielded from the EMP, to have more complete control. EMP or not, the Tribulation will start this year. [link to endtimesand2019.webs.com] So the government would rather fight its own people and a foreign invader, or have 300,0000 guns on their side? Think. CROW If that were the case it would make more sense to inform the people to arm themselves and make the rest of the world aware of that fact to act as a deterrent. Clear case of overreaching in your theory/thought process. You are painting a turd. There is no silver lining in this gun grab. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15740069 01/28/2013 02:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The government does not have Agency's like FEMA to help people by giving them food during a disaster. They have these Agency's to keep the masses pacified during a Disaster. Do you understand the Difference ? See the government cant feed and clothe a bunch of Transients. They know that they will all become looters. Look at the great depression as your example, people who "Bugged Out" but have no where to go were called Transients. They kind of wandered around looking for a place where they could get a meal. Soup Lines or begging. But the other kind of people were Self Sustainable. They were farmers who could raise their own livestock and feed. Sometimes a farmer could take in transients for work. But they could not take them all in, because they cant feed them all. The transients wanted to be treated like normal citizens. Basically they wanted jobs and to be treated like the farmers. They should have just started their own homesteads instead of wandering around from Soup line to Soup line. Some of them did that, but most people dont know how to do it so they didnt. Because their skills were not like those of an independent individual. They had very specialized skills that were not needed after a depression. What really was needed was for them to pickup a shovel and start to work the ground. During hard time you have to live off the fat of the land. And that does NOT mean foraging for bugs and vegetables. |

We have so many nuclear rods above ground that require massive amounts of cooling water that it would wipe out the world if turned off. It's simply called game over. Quoting: Lorax I dont think that is true. If EMP hits they have backup diesel generators to run the pumps. They will pump water till the rods are cool. These backup pump generators are hardened to EMP. This didnt happen in japan because the earthquake and tsunami ruined the generators. But if an EMP hits they can get them running again. Just swap out a few components that were kept in a Faraday cage. Or store the entire generator in a cage. |
