Editor’s Comment: It would seem that all the reassurances on the part of Merkel and others for the status quo, in the face of massive upheaval and mounting civil unrest in Europe, have limited shelf value. No one is settled over migration, and terrorism is only growing as a threat.
Instead, German government is urging all citizens to stockpile a minimum of 10 days of food, water and emergency supplies, and hinting at a much larger attack that could disrupt ordinary life in a potentially catastrophic way. Germany has been openly preparing for an unprecedented military response inside the countries borders in which martial law would be used to restore order after a major attack.
As our regular readers know, the threat of terrorism is only one small reason to be prepared with a food supply and other essentials. During an emergency, these preps may not only be life saving, they may provide the only way of remaining independent and self-sufficient. The fact that Germany has issued this warning is a testament to how badly the powers-that-be are allowing the stable Western democracies to be attacked within. It is only a matter of time before it happens here in the U.S.
German Government Urges Citizens To Stockpile Food, Water “In Case Of Attack Or Catastrophe”
by Tyler Durden
For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.
Following Angela Merkel’s proclamation that Islamic terrorism is not a function of the massive influx of muslim immigrants into Germany thanks to he immigration policy, we could not help but be a little surprised that, as TagesSchau reports, the federal government, according to a newspaper report wants to encourage the population to begin stockpiling food and water again, so that they temporarily can take care of themself in the case of a disaster or an armed attack. As Reuters details,
Germany is currently on high alert after two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month. Berlin announced measures earlier this month to spend considerably more on its police and security forces and to create a special unit to counter cyber crime and terrorism.
“The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days,” the newspaper quoted the government’s “Concept for Civil Defence” – which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry – as saying.
The paper said a parliamentary committee had originally commissioned the civil defense strategy in 2012.
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said the plan would be discussed by the cabinet on Wednesday and presented by the minister that afternoon. He declined to give any details on the content.
People will be required to stockpile enough drinking water to last for five days, according to the plan, the paper said.…the precautionary measures demand that people “prepare appropriately for a development that could threaten our existence and cannot be categorically ruled out in the future,” the paper cited the report as saying.
A further priority should be more support of the armed forces by civilians, it added.
Germany’s Defence Minister said earlier this month the country lay in the “crosshairs of terrorism” and pressed for plans for the military to train more closely with police in preparing for potential large-scale militant attacks.
So apart from stockpiling enough food and water for 10 days; supporting the military; protecting yourself from “a threat to our existence,” everything is awesome and Merkel’s immigration policy has helped?
We ask – what do they know? Or is this simply more scare-mongering since “A nation in fear is even better influenced and controlled.”

Everything is coming apart.
Is that 10 WHOLE days worth of food? That is laughable.
Menzo.
I have that much in potato chips.
No doubt!
I could survive a lot longer then 10 days on just Goldfish crackers,albeit not the healthiest of 10 days!
Stock up/keep stocking up/stay alert ect.,times are getting more “interesting”by the day!

White Lives Matter Protest Descends On NAACP Headquarters With Rifles, Confederate Flags
Amber Randell
11:19 AM 08/22/2016
An armed White Lives Matter group carried a Confederate flag during a protest outside the NAACP’s Houston headquarters Sunday.
Some members were carrying assault rifles, reports The Washington Post. Protesters carried signs reading, “White Lives Matter” and “14 Words,” a reference to a white supremacist slogan.
“We came out here specifically today to protest against the NAACP and their failure in speaking out against the atrocities that organizations like Black Lives Matter and other pro-black organizations have caused the attack and killing of white police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature,” Ken Reed, the organizer of the protest, told the Houston Chronicle.
Reed said members were defending their Second Amendment rights by carrying rifles.
“Obviously we’re exercising our Second Amendment rights but that’s because we have to defend ourselves. Their organizations and their people are shooting people based on the color of their skin,” Reed said.
The protest took place in Houston’s Third Ward; police arrived and barricaded the White Lives Matter group.
“The Confederate flag throws me off,” Quintana Richardson told the Houston Chronicle. “You’re saying Black Lives Matter is a racist organization but when you’re throwing the Confederate flag up and you’re saying White Lives Matter, are you saying you’re racist as well?”
Reed said that the Confederate flag was about pride, not racism.
“It has nothing to do with racism on our part. We’re proud to be Southern. It has all to do about heritage, nothing to do with hate,” Reed said.
Reed also said that white people are being told it’s bad to be white; he said that other races are allowed to promote their heritage, but when whites do it, it’s racist.
Police started to clear out the crowd of protesters around 3:30 p.m. The last people to leave were a group of white and black people praying together.

When any Government says 10 days of food supply. Thats a wink wink (A full year of food supply.) Just go get a 10 days supply, 35 days in a row. And you are good to go.

There is a coffee shop in Switzerland that is opening up soon, that serves a $60 cup of coffee.
You may think that is pricey, but it comes with a BJ. No kidding look it up THE LINK, and completely legal there.

Does anyone have specific of “Why” the warning?
Weather or natural disaster possible? Sun flare. Asteroid.
Terror?
Economic collapse?
Civil unrest with savages in dirty night shirts?
Nuclear war?
Or just as a common sense precaution to prepare for unknown and non specific threat?
It seems to be being sold as terrorism, but I think there may be more to it. I think the threat of all out war in Europe, started by the US against Russia, is imminent. However, I think in that case the minimum goal should be 14 days of food, or seven half lives of I 131.
Best guess is that DB is going tits up and the German banking system will vapor lock.

Friggin amazing. If this was a ‘b’ rated movie script, it would be rejected as patently absurd.
Solor flares or Cromial Mass Ejections -CME’s can take severald days to reach earth. As I have read lately the sun eruption have been very minimal this year. It acts similar to an EMP mostly in the northern hemisphere like the lattitudes of Canada. Not much of anything down here in FL as it powers my solar panels quite nicely.
12 hours??? Must be terrorists on the Sun causing chaos oh my… Run run run for the hills..
-WWTI…
If it’s only Germany doing this, then we could surmise that it’s a terror attack they expect.
However, if other EU countries do the same, then it’s something bigger: either war or a massive wave of terror events.
When they start closing museums, hospitals and hotels, and the VIPs cancel their public engagements, that’s when you have to start thinking about WW3. Cancelling leave for emergency services and the military, and recalling recent retirees to these services is also a huge red flag.
Of course, this could be one big experiment in Germany, to test the national supply chain in the face of a sudden surge in public demand. The data could prove invaluable for when WW3 comes for real.
Very smart Jay from UK. Welcome aboard, keep the info flowing. Hows Brexit going? Any tourmoil on the ground. Any problems or supply shortages happening? Keep us informed. Thx
-WWTI…
Well, just FYI, I moved to Latvia recently for medical treatments so I really should call myself Jay in Latvia, but I am in touch with the UK every day.
They are stalling on the Brexit for now, but I think they will get to it sooner rather than later. There are certainly no problems with the economy or any of the other lies told to scare us off voting out of the EU madhouse. I think a lot of the lefties are furious that the sky hasn’t fallen!

German men and women should stay in bed for ten days of sex. Make sure you have plenty of water because there will be a lot of sweating, it’s summer. Don’t forget to have plenty to eat to keep up your energy, as sex can be quite demanding. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Even if you look way back at all that has happened, the culmination of everything has always pointed to a nuclear conflict (and Hillary has all but promised, years ago), to get us into more than ONE damned war …and Putin KNOWS she’s not above sending him a present (and that’s quite likely why China and Russia have been buddy-buddy lately, and why that island-of-nukes has been built so quickly, and Putin DID WARN EVERYONE about the continued placement of nukes in The Baltics would be met forcefully …so we went ahead and put a nuke in every country to ensure Putin had no choice? YEP! That’s much of what ole big-jawed Kerry has been up too while he’s been overseas isn’t it? (He wasn’t in the news about anything else…).

Can anyone say, “The missiles of October”? In effect this is a provocation akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. If we’re really lucky we’ll have a similar ending; if not it was nice conversing with all of you.
Kevin2, I was only 5 years old when the Cuban Missile Crisis took place. My older brother and I helped our Dad build a bomb shelter in our basement and stocked it with food, water, medical supplies, etc. That was my very first contact with what we know today as prepping. Every October I can’t help but think back to that period.
We’re about the same age. I do remember the drills in school.
Most of the US public is unaware of the Russian submarine, unable to communicate with higher command after being foolishly depth charged with exploding practice munitions, that was one vote shy of firing a nuclear armed torpedo against a US war ship. These confrontations have risks beyond those under either governments control. One oops, one overstepping of orders mistakenly understood and it sets forth an irreversible cascading series of events culminating in the deaths of one or more billion people. Thats one hell of a game of chicken. Its like betting a million dollars to win a thousand.

I’m being poisoned now. There are trucks that drive down our street spraying “pesticide” for the supposed mosquito “zika”. Poisoning my family and property without my consent.

What give a municipality the right to POISON the residents?
I’m pissed. Looking to move away from this insanity.
Also they put up new “light poles”. Explain to me why “light poles need connected to internet? Cable and AT@T were out with “light pole” crews.

While simultaneously informing the German citizenry of the dangers incurred with importing refugees, the German government continues its policy, in spite of the desires of the German people to halt it. Western Democracy is a thinly veiled illusion. Oligarchical rule is the reality.

That doesn’t sound like 10 days of supplies. That sounds like 7 years of supplies, BOBs, BOLs, tons of weapons, and lots of planning. And they may not have the time.
Anon, the DHS claims we’re terrorists if we have more than a week’s worth of food in our homes, etc. I don’t follow anything DHS or any other .gov agencies say anyway.
I guess I live in a terrorist area. Harvest time is near and with it comes even more stockpiling.
Braveheart1776
I don’t know anymore. Just do what you have to do. Don’t worry too much about it. If it is meant to be, it will be so.
Anon, don’t worry. I’m still stacking and praying. Most of my supplies are already at the BOL. Have another trip scheduled for Oct. but might be going sooner the way things are looking.

The DHS is run by hijacker zionists, where 98% of all DHS Security grants are given to their fellow jew organizations. That is how bad America has fallen in to the gutter. 54% of attacks happen at schools or universities, but the fn jews loot the agency for their own 98% of the time. Our Tax payer money looted.

Boston Marathon bombing with Jew run security. US Airports run by foreign Israeli security companies where all the 911 hijackers went through that day. Wake the hell up Americunts and start killing these fn Soros bastards now. So many Americunts so frightened to even say the word JEW. You have been reduced to a POS. Now they are funding blacks to burn American cities down. And getting away with it. How many atacks and sucker punches are you and I gonna take before we strike back? Get busy today for fucksake.

They are allowing the immigrants into the USA and Western Europe/Germany because they are about to have a world wide nuclear war. World War III.
The people are being rounded up into the target areas for death.

Sitting on the lake in the forest waiting.
Sounds to me like the German government is very worried about a very serious terrorist event. Like a dirty bomb, a nuke, a poison gas attack, a bioterror attack. Some event that would empty the grocery shelves. As everyone here knows, 10 days of food is laughable. Harvested more field peas and starting on the popcorn harvest today. Next year I plan to plant whipporwill field peas next to Bloody Butcher field corn as the peas will climb up the corn like a pole bean. Easier to harvest. Nothing bothers the field peas, not the rabbits, the stink bugs, the groundhog, the southern bog lemmings. Just the field mice that eat the mature pea pods that wind up on the ground. I’m sure we have the fattest field mice in all of East Tennessee!!
At some point, the snakes, hawks, weasels, etc. will notice all of the fat little mice, and things will even out.
Tennessean
How do you keep the deer from eating your field peas?
Everyday more illegal aliens cross our southern boarder and the jerkoff in the White House flies more and more Muslims into the country.
Americans deserve all the trouble that is cause by these people and if they do not prepare for this trouble than, Tough Shit For You.
…So they can then put all the German people on their “terrorist watch” list, like the U.S. Government does if Americans stockpile food and water?
This wont happen here, and if they try. We will play Cowboys and Muslims.

Oh yes it will! Americans do not have the stamina to go the country mile. They call us sick fucks and murderer’s here but would rather have their wives and daughter ‘s rape by these animals. They rather pacify and rationalize their behavior away in P.C. fashion.

So my friend I hope you are wrong. If not this COWBOY will stand alone!!!!

Germans if you recall brought about the fall of France among other notable events In 6 weeks in Russia they took 1,200,000 prisoners and their equipment they are not fools They probably know out Moslem brothers are going to party hardy. Same here fools. Hillary is a cookie cutter Merkel. Are you ready to rumble. half of America does not have three days worth of food at home. empty stomachs full heads of how to get food as they say. Look at siege of Lenningrad. Cats dogs and then neighbors
One gets the strong feeling looking at the way the Russians are deploying their strategic forces over the last 2 years that they are preparing for a nuclear war. Why way above my pay grade. On the surface it appears to be madness. How would the world survive such a thing, do the people currently running our world even care. Read today we are moving Nukes based in Turkey to Romania, why. It’s weird those of us in our 50’s have lived with this all our lives, almost convinced myself it would never happen. Now I hear Belicoso generals bellowing about ‘defending ourselves at all costs’ just like in the 60’s and 70’s. Personally I am frightened, not really for myself I am 57, playing the “back nine “of my life so to speak. My son is about to have his first child. It scares the shit out of me thinking about his future. I suppose all one can do is have faith that good will prevail and trust in whatever higher power one has. It’s a tough sell right now though. Goodness, reason, honor, courage don’t seem to be in large supply in our current reality. Sorry I am being maudlin. Stay safe prep hard and hope.
Thanks Drew, good words.
Your son and his child is one of the keys to our future.
Teach them as much as they’re willing to learn.
Have asked the ex-MIL in Romania to keep me appraised of any updates to the situations in Ukraine/Turkey. (Her Russian is fluent for listening to their media broadcasts). Will post here if she says anything of note. We know that war heads are currently being moved from Turkey to Romania & that’s of huge concern.
I’m in agreement with Arhivist – if the government states you need 10 days then the reality is probably that you need the 7 years the Bible advises. I don’t have anything close to 7 years, indeed it’s going to take me another 4 years+ to get my garden soil up to full productivity. Was just getting advice yesterday at how best to prep the ground for another shot at raspberries this winter, cos last years effort has not proved successful.
If you are in Europe, you need to heed this warning seriously. Governments have a doctrine of not revealing bad news for fear of scaring the little people.
Germany is being set up by the USA to fight it’s war for the americans against Russia but russia will go after the USA instead and ask Europe if they realy want to die to save the american trouble makers in Europe.
Some of the Russian ICBM now travels at Mark 7 so how long does it take to hit Berlin from the russian border because I make it seconds if your so keen to fight with your neigbour because the jewamericans want to rule the earth.
Although, as many here have already noted, ten days of stored food for a crisis is laughable by the standards of people who frequent this board- it marks an interesting psychological shift in German thinking. My experience of Germany has been safe streets to walk, efficient trains, hardworking people, polite people and an abundance of corner bakeries, shops, etc. It felt safe as a woman to walk the streets alone. Our visit occurred prior to the present influx of migrants… I don’t want to call them refugees. I would imagine that most Germans have a better stocked pantry than the average American, especially in the cheese and bread category. They are a fresh food culture and freeze dried goods might be a laughable commodity to them, so far. This advisory statement is aimed at the folks who don’t recall the post war privation endured by German citizens… young Britons had better hitch up their short stockings too.
There is so much distraction going on in the world- people just don’t realize what a dangerous game is playing out between Merkel, Erdogan and Putin.
It gets worse: Germans are bringing back military conscription. I see it like this: Germans are going to get b-f#cked by the Muslims at home and forced into a major war with Russia. Merkel wants the Mooslimes to pack out the German army with troops for the bloody war. A Euro army will also be assembled, much of it filled with Mooslimes and Africans. Things are going to get very freeaky.
