Most people don’t have a clue about what is happening behind the scenes today on a global level.

The following scenario is not to frighten anyone but to realize what we are acceptable to at any time.

Picture this scenario:

Your alarm goes off at 7:00 AM to start your day.

While sipping your morning coffee, an alert from the national emergency broadcasting system comes on your phone.

The message states that all power grids will be turned off for at least 30 days in this country due to a cyber attack.

You have approximately One Hour to prepare!

What would be your REACTION to this kind of news?

Keep in mind you will be disconnected from everybody within minutes since all the phone lines will be bombarded with calls!!!

The Power will be turned off on every computerized device within the hour.

You won’t be able to pump gas, or buy anything.

Your Credit Cards won’t work, and ATMs will be useless …..

How do you handle paying your bills and other operational expenses? Don’t worry the banks aren’t open, do you have something to barter with?

Not a good situation is it?

You didn’t have a plan “B”!

Take the word “Mobilize” out of the equation, you are walking, your phone is not working, and you can’t be contacted other than in person…

Erase the meaning of the word “Communication”. It may not return for a while!

Law Enforcement is put to the ultimate test, they too are with limited Communication, Transportation, and another surprise…..

What do you think they are going to do with the prisoners?

They will be set free of course.

More issues to consider

The Crime Rate is going through the roof as expected so you need to be prepared.

The toilet paper shortage caused major pandemonium, imagine what will happen when there is no food available and people are starving.

Even law-abiding citizens will turn violent to save their families, it’s only human nature!

If someone was trying to break in, what would you do and how would you do it effectively?

Incomprehensible.

Now, Let’s take a look at law enforcement along with the national guard…

As a Country, we can no longer count on the National Guard if there is a National Emergency.

With approx 335,000,000 citizens in the U.S. and a National Guard of 450,000, that equates to 1 National Guard to every 744 citizens.

Do you really think they will be able to provide help for everyone?

Let’s look at the police departments across the United States.

In 2021, there were 660,288 full-time law enforcement officers employed in the United States.

This number reached a peak in 2008 with 708,569 officers and hit a low in 2013 with 626,942 officers.

It is estimated that there are between 750,000 and 850,000 sworn officers in the United States so let’s go with the high side in this scenario.

Do you think some of these officers will quit their jobs to watch over their own families?

I would think 20-30 percent, but let’s say that they all stay active in trying to protect everyone.

So let’s combine the two,

With 335,000,000 citizens to protect, adding 850,000 law enforcement officials and 450,000 national guardsmen combined is a ratio of 1 to every 258 citizens.

But our military will protect us!

Let’s all pray that it’s possible, however, depending on the disaster that is brought upon us, the military will have their own issues to deal with.

Let’s just say all the branches are available to help the citizens.

The United States military is the world’s third-largest army in terms of manpower, with about 1.4 million active military personnel in 2022.

The US military consists of different service branches, including the Army, Navy, Airforce, Marine Corps, and Space Force.

The US military also employs 743,000 civilians. The US has 6200 combat tanks to support its soldiers, a significant number but less than Russia and China.

In 2022, China had the largest armed forces in the world by active duty military personnel, with about 2 million active soldiers. India, the United States, North Korea, and Russia rounded out the top five largest armies.

So with the military being added to the mix of the police along with the national guard, that equates to one person protecting 124 citizens.

Do you feel safer now?

If this scenario occurred in your area, do you know the names and addresses of each retired veteran that may be able to help?

What about a local Doctor or Nurse, any knowledge of where to locate them if needed?

Next question

Is there a go-to person in your local community that has the leadership skills to form a group of volunteers that can help the elderly or handicapped with a shelter immediately if needed?

Many veterans have tactical skills and could provide training sessions as to what to do in the event of an emergency.

But, Knowing CPR is one thing, knowing who can perform it is another.

How will they get the local group alerted?

Maybe the local political leaders along with the city council members should put a plan in place for their communities now before it’s too late.

All this sounds great but not many local leaders will plan for this, most are too lazy and act as if they’re too busy until it’s too late.

Rely on no one, you should be prepared to take care of your own and have some stability until order was back in place.

We practice what we will do in the event of school shootings, train wrecks, and even plane crashes

How do we practice something that is unimaginable?

The fact that you might be prepared is one thing, but how many of your constituents are ready for this kind of unpredictable panic?

When panic hits, there is no time to prepare. The problem is that no one is even thinking of the unthinkable. Are you?

Knowing CPR is one thing, knowing who can perform it is another.

How will they get the troops alerted?

IF the UNIMAGINABLE were to happen….. Are WE Ready? I (Incoming) F (Fear)

There is concern among experts that if 9 simultaneous attacks were to occur on the nation’s 55,000 electrical substations, it could result in a nationwide blackout lasting up to 18 months.

This scenario raises significant worries about the potential for widespread disruption and its lasting impact on the country’s infrastructure and daily life.

With approx 335,000,000 citizens with a roster of 450,000 active National Guards, that equates to 1 National Guard to every 744 citizens. Do you think the local police will be actively patrolling the streets?

Probably not, they will be busy doing other things like trying to stop looters and home invasions besides whatever else they will have to deal with.

3 Alarming Threats To The U.S. Energy Grid – Cyber, Physical, and Existential Events from FORBES

“This will NEVER happen”

Who would have ever thought that terrorists would be trained as pilots in America only to hijack commercial aircraft and kill nearly 3000 people, not to mention the devastating effects it would leave on countless more?

Did you ever imagine that in March of 2020, there would be COVID-19 and it would shut down almost the entire planet? Of Course Not!

Is it safe to say that the World was not prepared for the UNIMAGINABLE to happen?

This Mindset has taken steps to learn what to do in any scenario

Re-Active
This Mindset has a knee-jerk reaction to emergencies. No plan in place

 

5 things you should have available at all times in our current environment?

• Solar-powered backup power for lights and appliances.
• Enough food for you and your family to survive for a minimum of 30 days.
• A water purifier
• Basic medical emergency kit.
• Large-capacity fire extinguisher
• Personal protection (even if it’s just pepper spray or a stun gun)

When each person in your household has a 3-Month Emergency Food Supply, you’ll be better prepared for:

Extended power loss, power rations, or cyber attacks
Terrorist attacks
Natural disasters
Job loss or economic collapse
Hyperinflation
Breaks in the supply chain
Outbreaks and mandated quarantines
World war
