[link to stateimpact.npr.org] This is really messed up, that over 14,000 Department Of Energy workers information got hacked recently. That would be a step to takedown the grid, would be to find out the workers info and what they do. See link below [link to www.law360.com] |

"They have the intelligence operation, the standing army, the three-letter agencies,” "We have the grid operations expertise" "In a time of peace, someone just used a cyberweapon to destroy another nation’s critical infrastructure," “Ouch.” |

Halo2Alexis™ User ID: 41994758 United States 08/19/2013 01:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The drill involves Canada and Mexico and is nation wide ! WTF !!!!!!! Quoting: Da Stranger I just bet that there is a good chance this drill goes live. For all those looking for a doom date I'd say November 14 is a good choice. The entire northern hemisphere? Well, if the "drill" is during daylight hours that means we're on the sun-facing side. A possible solar flare making a direct hit to the power grid caused from ISON swinging around the sun at that time? Any word on what the southern half of the planet will be up to around these dates? What does POTUS travel schedule look like *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I can't force people to accept the truth, but I can expose them to it. |

I may be asked to travel in that window, and it will be a tricky judgement call for me. |

I may be asked to travel in that window, and it will be a tricky judgement call for me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44922530 Glad i'm not alone! It was the first thing that came to mind. How far? I'd say plan to drive it if possible and not fly. But I know its not feasible even with the best intentions. Between the embassies being closed off, ISON, FEMA, foreign troops on U.S. soil, banks on the brink of collapse...too much is moving at the same time. I just have an eeky feeling about all this. Moreso than usual. I'm not a prepper, living paycheck to paycheck barely surviving I never had chance or gave it a sincere thought before. But in the last couple of weeks, I had the sudden urge to start bottling water. Saved every empty bottle, 2-liter & milk jug I find, and started buying food in bulk. And not sure why, just something "felt" like I should? Whether or not it matters in the end, who knows. Last night I started watching "Jericho" on Netflix after seeing the show title pop up in another thread....and it's just eerie. Forgot all about it. A nuke attack, foreign troops, EMP - that's what made this thread stick out. I mean think about it...all these survival-style shows are appearing or already aired. Jericho, Survivor, The Colony, Doomsday Preppers, etc. Networks are re-airing shows like Deep Impact & Armageddon instead of the usual mind numbing junk. Ask why? In a world full of crap TV & "reality shows" they decided to make these - when most were cancelled due to low ratings. They were trying to get some type of information out to the public, because sadly nobody reads books anymore so its the best way. Whatever you decide, stay safe Last Edited by eV3y on 08/19/2013 05:50 AM *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I can't force people to accept the truth, but I can expose them to it. |
