A Disturbing Series of Events: Governments Around the World Seem to Be Preparing for WarBy Daisy Luther And Germany isnt alone. There are increasing hints in countries around the world that something big is on its wayand it wont be pretty. The German government will discuss their emergency plans Wednesday. The BBC reports: The role of civilians is part of a new civil defence strategy to be discussed by the government on Wednesday. Since the strategy was leaked to the media there has been intense debate about stockpiling food and water. In a crisis civilians might be obliged to help direct traffic or provide fuel and accommodation for the military. Germany only scrapped conscription in 2011. However, it was not removed from the countrys constitution, which means it would be incredibly simple to reinstate. Not sure I like the look of this. As I wrote about on Monday, the German government is urging citizens to get prepared and quickly. The German Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) put the following list on their website as a guide: This it states is a survival list that should last an individual for two weeks in the event of a national emergency. Wolfgang Kast, a public health manager with the German Red Cross said, People have become less and less prepared for an emergency. Weve got accustomed not least because of the internet to having everything available at all times, In addition to the food list he suggested medicines, a flashlight, spare batteries, and candles. Hardly comprehensive, but its a start. (source) Last summer there were two alarming warnings urging Americans to get prepared. First, in May, President Obama said: One of the things that we have learned over the course of the last seven and a half years is that government plays a vital role, but it is every citizens responsibility to be prepared for a disaster. And that means taking proactive steps, like having an evacuation plan, having a fully stocked disaster supply kit. If your local authorities ask you to evacuate, you have to do it. Dont wait. (source) This was followed byDC Homeland Security Director Christopher Geldart issuing a warning to residents: Everyone needs to dust off their evacuation plans, understanding Metro isnt a reliable option over the next year. When we put more vehicles on the road like an emergency happening in the middle of the day and everybody leaving at the same time thats going to cause backup and its going to take people a good time to get home, Geldart said. It will take longer much longer than they are used to. So what were telling folks is, you need to have a plan with your family. (source) And thats not all. The hints are everywhere that war could be on the horizon. In general, Europe doesnt have the prepping mentality that exists on this side of the pond but it looks like they are starting to consider that the government may not be in a position to help its citizens. The UK hasnt come right out and said that Brits should start stockpiling food and water, but the government there has produced a Preparing for Emergencies booklet that few people even know exists. Its What You Can do page lists essential items that should be to hand in the event of an emergency and advises that enough food, water, and medication should be available to last a few days. The booklet also gives advice on various emergency situations and how to deal with them. The pace of world events is picking upyesterday it was announced that Turkey hadevacuated an entiretownas it intends to engage in across border action with Islamic State in Syria. (That has now happened Ed.) North Koreahas fired a missile from a submarine in violation of International law. Venezuela Every day, something worrying occurs on the international stage. Worrying developments that threaten stability across the globe. Make sure you have: Theres something very suspicious about all of these unsettling events happening in such close succession. We shouldnt be waiting for governments to tell us to prepare. We should be doing it of our own volition. We should be taking responsibility for the safety of our families. And we should be doing it now. This article first appeared at DaisyLuther.com Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

Might war hysteria be a cover for the Eye of Sauron watching the plebs every move? The boy who cried wolf. It starts with one person. Please enlighten us as to what you are doing that is making a difference. Living much of my life where there are hurricanes ; we know the value of preparedness. I understand the value of preparedness. I didnt criticize that, and use it myself, but you know exactly what I am writing about. There is no value in highlighting all of our problems and then not doing anything about it. We have long since passed the point of engaging iin some effective action to counter the corruption and oppression. It seems we have a news crisis conveyor belt that just keeps churning out story after story keeping the readers entertained and coming back for more. Look at the archive. It proves my point and it isnt just this site but almost ALL of them. As all intelligent people should, and doooo! All the ignorant ones, sit on their behinds, and complain. Theyll be the ones that die first, because theyll go ask everyone they know, to help their lazy *%$$%!! Have you come across this article (and many more like it that refer to the long-planned perpetual war agenda of the US)? Excerpt: In contrast, Washington is pursuing a predatory military pivot to the least productive regions with collaboration from its most barbaric allies, like Saudi Arabia. http://www.globalresearch.ca/chinas-pivot-to-world-markets-washingtons-pivot-to-world-wars/5541802 Hi Veri Tas, I read GR articles daily for years after discovering the website through Michael Rupperts From The Wilderness alternative news site ~13 years ago. Problem is, over time GR shifted from hard hitting analyses to a near constant drumbeat of compartmentalized reporting and a large heaping of learned helplessness negativity dished out by establishment gatekeepers (best example: PCRoberts). I wont deconstruct it all here because my aim is not divisiveness, rather its to encourage more discernment from those of us who are awake. I still have the greatest respect for Chussodovsky, although, his strong left wing statist attachment to socialism seems to create many blind spots, as is true with the great contributors to the awakening such as Tarpley and Engdahl. For instance, Engdahl recently wrote on his website he is stunned and disheartened to learn China (which he thought opposed genetic engineering) is about to purchase Monsantos evil twin Syngenta. As astute as he is in some matters, Im amazed he didnt know China is a NWO entity, created by TPTB as their large scale model of technocratic rule. He also apparently didnt know China has already been engaged in extensive GE experimentation with animals and is aggressively pursuing the far more insidious and dangerous new GE precision genetic engineering, as are Russian scientists. The war meme has always been a powerful dialectic maneuver. Plus, theres a cluster of fear hitting us in the media all at once to further centralize control: Zika and Ebola, climate catastrophe, financial collapse, ISIS and other forms of engineered violence, widespread civil wars ,etc. A major world war doesnt make sense because TPTB would lose control over the global economy to a large extent and the devastation would wreak havoc on the infrastructure they are building out. Just food for thought Nice insight! Karl Roves infamous quote tells us the powers that shouldnt be understand that while we endlessly analyze their crimes and shape shifting paradigms, they continue to move forward completing the construction of their prison planet. Were an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youre studying that reality judiciously, as you will well act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thats how things will sort out. Were historys actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do. Exactly. This is what I have issue with and you nailed it. By not acting appropriately in time, we are always one step behind. Why dont you just get prepared anyway, and quit whining? Better to have all these survival things, and not use it, than to not have anything, when something does happen. Only smart people stock up for emergencies. If you dont, then youll be looking looking down the barrel of your neighbors gun, when you go up to them, to ask for food, or something, because you did nothing but complain, when times were good. Stop talkin, and start chalking. Take a hint from the little animals who stock up food for the winter, during the good, easy timesdont be ignorant.theyll be plenty of people like you, who will die first, who complained when they should of been stocking up.. I was very specific in my writing but apparently your comprehension is lacking. Your response is in error. I would suggest you re-read my comment. Just as mentioned in my writing, it seems I strike nerve with some and they go on the offensive. Russia is bombing US positions in Syria ! Actually, it is not a war that these governments are worried about, but a large scale natural disaster caused by a large solar Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) event. These CME events in the past have taken down the electric power grid and have caused communication problems. Exceptionally large holes in the solar corona have been observed, which could be precursors of a CME event. Being prepared for emergencies is always a good idea. Large scale warfare is less likely today than ever before in history. With the potential for escalation to the use of WMDs, and the heightened interconnectedness of the global economy, war would serve no strategic purpose to the major players. The great powers have long since realized that there are more efficient ways of gaining control of resources than major wars, and the atomic age foreclosed the strategic efficacy of such actions. I dont think so. Tell that to Kim Jung Crazy ILL and the DPNK. They just test fired another missile, this time from a submarine into The Sea of Japan. Nuclear proliferation is a serious concern and a nuclear war could be triggered by accident or provocation. Look at the situation in the Ukraine as another example. The world is more dangerous now than in the Cold War. To think otherwise is wishful thinking. Hope for the best of course but prepare for the worst. Best of luck. And of course there is The Samson Option where all major cities and strategic centers are possibly already rigged with nuclear devices for in case the psychotic elite become too frustrated with the non-compliance of the slave population. Reminds me of Kubricks film Dr. Strangelove, Doug. A favorite book, The Real Dr. Strangelove and Dream of The Superweapon, makes an excellent historical case that long before the atom bomb was created, the global elite created predictive programming in popular novels and magazine articles (e.g. H.G. Wells) directed at their future minions to actually seek the creation of WMDs to force humanity to submit to a Federation of Mankind (the common term around the turn of the 20th century for world govt). A Tennyson poem describing exactly this scenario of a horrific death raining down in war forcing a world govt was in Trumans wallet when he authorized the bombing of Japan. TPTB know exactly what psychological buttons to push, theyve been at it a long time! BTW, Wells wrote the first UN human rights declaration. Yes, it is an adolescent adventure to play around with designing and developing of killing machines and systems but these bright designers rarely consider the infantile psychopathy of the individuals who will eventually gain control of these systems. These spiritually retarded characters are devoid of moral constraints and they will conjure up a distorted justification for any cataclysm they wish to engineer on a targeted population. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention Blue. Ive known about it before but I have now read some more reviews and Im certainly getting a copy in my hands soon. All the best. Youre welcome, Doug, and very well said about the blinders worn by the designers If you havent taken a look at it yet, you might want to skim through Political Ponerology, theres a pdf preview free online. Yes Blue, I got introduced to Political Ponerology by a post from that other intellectual super spark Eddy Sachs :- ) If you take reporting of the S. China Sea, for example, its more uber hype, esp. in large pockets of the alt media. In contrast to predictions of an escalating confrontation, in China, the controversy has been tightly controlled with the Chinese govt and media calling S. China Sea nationalist agitators anti government extremists who are foolishly ignoring the fact that globalization translates into a world economy that is linked and the boycotts of iPhone and Kentucky Fried Chicken would hurt Chinese workers who depend on their jobs. This was their exact wording (translated, of course). As well, Chinese govt internet censors were aggressively shutting down agitators. Why wasnt this aspect to the controversy reported too in the alt media? I stumbled onto it in an internet search being reported by the global main stream media. I carefully excluded regional warfare from my statement for the obvious region that such wars are common and will remain so (as well as the potential for more terrorism and the like). But the fear-monger concerning war between MAJOR powers is misplaced, as such actions (the US, Russia, China, Europe) are foreclosed as strategically enticing. WW III is not going to happen because those that would start it can gain what they seek through various other means (notably economic and proxy warfare). As von Clausewitz said, and I parapahrase: War is a continuation of politics. For instance, Beyond Obamas pivot to Asia, China owns massive amounts of US debt and depends on US markets for consumer goods. Any military conflict with China will be occur through proxies, as the US engagement across Africa shows. There is, as you point out, the potential for accidental provocation, but there is more interconnectedness between foreign militaries and the US than ever before, even somewhat antagonistic ones like the US and Russia. Theres always a possibility for the unthinkable, but it is far less likely than journalists uninterested in the history of war suppose. I think you might be nave as to how far the psychotic elite will go to reset the global economy at a greater degree in their control. These vast underground bunkers and that illogically large wall around Israel gives me the impression that they are planning to drop the planet into the stone age soon. The elites already control the economy, and theres no slowing of consolidation and integration, meaning they are already acquiring what the ill-informed think they need warfare to get (that is last centurys paradigm). Global war, with the nuclear, chemical, and biological possibilities it would bring would destroy what the elite can get now with the stroke of a pen. Id add that, while the ruling class is certainly unconcerned with human suffering, they are not psychotic in the clinical sense, but are pragmatic rationalists in the context of advancing their position. I suggest reading the writings of some of these elites. Youll find that they are without empathy, but also uninterested in bringing the temple down upon their own heads. As an aside, themasses dont have to worry about such depopulation efforts that a global war or pandemic would bring until the global economy has more fully transitioned to an AI/automated-based system, which we are still several decades away from at the soonest. Psychotic as in having Serbia, Iraq, Libya and others bombed to rubble to crush their burgeoning independence. Psychotic as in conjuring justifications for mass fire bombing and nuclear incineration of cities all occupied mostly by women, children and elderly. Psychotic as in imploding a complex of skyscrapers in broad daylight, murdering thousands of innocents, and then sneeringly blame some other unrelated group. Ponerogenic psychosis does not exclude pragmatic rationalism. The publicly accessible writings of the so called elite are meaningless and the only real check on their hubris is the possibility of the masses waking up to their parasitic machinations before their technocratic gulag has been established. Maybe they wont initiate all out global war but I do not put it past them to suddenly detonate nuclear devices in all major cities around the world. You could have forestalled your spirited but wasted remarks by actually reading my response. As I said, the elite are not psychotic in some clinical sense (which entails a delusional loss of contact with reality and irrational behavior). The elite, instead, hold power as their ideal and are willing to devastate countries in their geopolitical games to safeguard it. They are very much rational actors; they are simply amoral ones. Ok, youre right, this exchange has become a little redundant. From my part it was not really meant as argumentative but as an opportunity to expose my deepest insecurities regarding the Bolshevik psycho-freaks who have clawed themselves into control over our lives. I appreciate and share your apprehensions. It is disquieting, at the very least to discover that it is not responsible men that run the world, but power-mad sociopaths. I would add though, that it is a hybrid form of oligarchical corporate socialism that seems to be forming into the new paradigm. Its not traditional state-socialism on the model of the USSR, nor is it the ham-fisted fascism of the 20th century, but rather a system in which an interlocking collective of corporate, governmental, and military elites work in tandem to create their vision for global order. It has components of socialism, fascism, capitalism, and even democracy (though not in any meaningful sense). As Aldous Huxley said: Given unchecked over-population and over-organization, we may expect to see in the democratic countries a reversal of the process which transformed England into a democracy, while retaining all the outward forms of a monarchy. Under the relentless thrust of accelerating overpopulation and increasing over-organization, and by means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit. Very relevant quote from Huxley. You have also perfectly defined the Technocratic gulag as I referred to earlier. Wow, really?? You are really lostand probably dont stock up, because you think, things will get betterno one wants war, etc etc. I feel sorry for you. Ill copy my response to another commentor for you, as its long winded and Im a lazy typist: I carefully excluded regional warfare from my statement for the But the There China is expanding economic interdependence with the US/west with the purchase of Syngenta 25% of Syngentas revenue comes from US sales. This website chronicled the economic mergers of the east and west until it suddenly went quiet in 2015. https://newworldorderg20.wordpress (dot) com/ Observing global daily business news, the trend has continued Sounds about right. Ill check it, looks interesting. on oz news this morning(abc) something about the right of the PM to go to war without consent of other MPs. Are you talking about Australia gibbon? Yep I saw that on our news too. Something about how they want the whole parliament to have to vote on going to war, rather than leaving the vote just to cabinet. An interesting story and I dont know where that has come from. Who started that push? The Greens? Xenophon? Endless war on terrorists (aka extremists) soon becomes endless war on the masses who might dare challenge elite rule. We pretty much have that right here in the US. I believe that WWIII will not occur without warning. There will be skirmishes. There will be movement of men and materiel. There will be threats that become physical altercations, small perhaps but building. There will be economic dislocations including bank runs or closures. We will have sufficient notice to leave potential target areas (large cities) in plenty of time to find relative safety under such circumstances but only if we know where to go and how to get there. That is the meaning of preparation! In Canada at least a good 20% of the population own vacation homes in the woods and on lakes distant from large cities. They are prepared without even trying. And Germanys Government has just put Russia on their Enemy list how rude since Russia and Germany had a lot of trade going on before Obama stopped it. Merkel is a Traitor to Europe https://newworldorderg20.wordpress (dot) com/ but theyre big business partners and a German engineering firm, along with other European firms, contracted with Russia to build out its Smartgrid. Oh, now its a good idea to do something. Not when we should have those million of times we let corporations and government run over us like pimps and ho meet. Got it. Stand up and protect yourselves now folks. lol. Yeah, and hope the lazy dumb ones, will listen to that.and stock up while they still can. But those lazy dumb ones, will be the first to die, when the shtf If the western transition to the techno Orwellian NWO looks a lot like whats unfolding in the wealthy Gulf oil nations, then there will be no food shortages, riots, or major pandemonium. It will be seamless, boiling frogs all the way. Euphemistically: Vision 2030 Hear him, hear him. Or, in this case, it may be HER. Its not a tree with a root and branches. It is a field of weeds that keeps creeping into your tilth. Your tilth is that fertile mind and soul that creates, produces, thinks, dreams, acts, loves, has faith, devotion and love. Those weeds are everything that robs you of your humanity, your dignity, your privacy, your thinking capacities, all of it. Were it all a tree as your analogy runs, you could kill it with putting ax to root. But we see that no matter how many roots you hack, the weeds keep creeping in, taking over. Societal destruction is the weed killer. Its called Agenda 21. @disqus_shp1LhjgLA:disqus Germany brought the problem upon itself by bringing in so many refugees from the Middle East.
