Wait, actually I dont know about that. hmm.
There seems to be a national disaster that is going to take place and the government is going to force you to drink their water and things of that nature but don't do it. Theres something planned out that involves the disaster and offers the "solution".

And where's the bit about water?
The site says go get your own, in gallons, right now, as part of your safety kit.

On the other hand, I wouldn't put it past 'em to manufacture a disaster in order to gain more control.
But contaminated water is something else..

The US govt should actually be looking out for its own.
There are way too many people here who love home-grown terrorism.

Why do people have such a fear of the government (and somehow tend to ignore corporations who poison your food, water, environment, etc)? Sure, it is good to be cynical of the government, but asking people to pray for you because planes fly over your house?

Maybe it'll give you some ideas on national disasters & so forth..

Lots of planes are flying above my house. Please pray for me. Pray that the Creator and his Angels can build a strong enough shield for me and my family.

That would work well in a script.

The first paragraph could be the start of the movie.. a television in the background and someone reading the news saying something along those lines.. and then suddenly going off air.

The second paragraph could be a person praying outside, screaming.. while military aircraft flies over the top. Picture a stormy afternoon. Eerie music.

when i first came to california the memory of loma prieta was still fresh in lots of minds. i bought a few gallons of distilled water to have on hand. HUGE two gallon jugs. put them in a cupboard and there they sat for yonks, taking up a whole cupboard...and one day i realized that even distilled water doesn't stay "fresh" forever, ie you cannot keep those plastic containers indefinitely!!

so don't do it that way!! buy a few jugs maybe, but remember you have to keep them circulating, use them and replace them maybe one by one...as to emergency kits, most of their contents are probably already in your house, in a real emergency you will be happy to tear up sheets for bandages etc, and if you go to the trouble of stocking up on canned goods for goodness sake make sure they are edible without cooking!! one of the first things to go will be your power. regular table salt and alcohol are good sterilizers, etc...

*Earthquakes (in CA, the big one in LA back in '94)
*Tornado (in Nashville, while I was driving)
*Hurricanes (2 big ones in Florida which left us without electricity for 9 days)
*Flood (in LA)
*Sandstorm, more recently (in nowheresville aka Siwa, Egypt, while on vacation. Survived on limited water for 7 days lol)

...I'm wondering what natural disasters I've left out

I also was shooting a film back when the Rodney King riots happened in LA. My car broke down and I almost got torched lol)

And then there was after 9/11, when it was a lot of fun to fly while being of Arabic descent...ok, that's not a disaster, but it's pretty annoying

I did get an email warning that they were putting fluoride in water trying to decrease the population or some crap. I dont trust them though. Obviously with all good reason.

American government doesnt give a toss who dies, otherwise they wouldnt be in iraq right now. They pay and use money as power to kill and ruin thousands of peoples lives for their own benefit.

I think you should be cautious.

the idiot box (tv) is a mass brainwashing tool. and your government never has/had your best interests in mind.

The tv was never made to teach people, just to entertain. The mistake a lot of people make is to assume anything else.

Governments always only have their best interests in mind, nothing we can do about it short of going into politics ourselves. If we don't want to do that, we shouldn't complain about our governments.

... Hey, I come from a country where the government doesn't even know how to govern. A typical indecisive Libra country... Sigh.

i really think everyone needs to turn down the sturm und drang and not get sucked into the vortex of chaos and anger that SOME people are trying so hard to create. THAT will lead to disaster. keeping your head will help prevent it. hopefully there are enough intelligent people to counterbalance the rabble-rousing that is going on in so MANY places at the moment...

last summer it was his new hit song,

if ya don't like it throw it away, if you don't know what it is, throw it away.

he sang that for at least 3 months over and over.

i suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an emergency preparedness kit. kinda like a first aid kit, its just there if you ever need it. supposing chicken little is ever right and the sky actually does fall in.
