Just a quick check in with everyone. Hope this finds everyone doing well. Fairly quiet here, but ……..
Not to sound patronizing but I find that most people who read post apocalyptic books also keep up with current events. One of the problems with trying to follow world or even just US news is finding and knowing if what you are reading or hearing is true.
I got home tonight from work, helped feed our horde, then sat down to catch up on today’s world events before I write a couple chapters on LSO6.
The first thing I noticed was the article on one of our nuclear weapons submarines surfacing in the Norwegian Sea, supported by not one but two carrier battle groups. For those of you that don’t follow these types of events, that is not normal, not even close.
Second I noted the news saying our government sent a message to the Hezbollah leadership that the US does not control Israel as a warning. Again not normal.
Third, Russia and Iran signed a new energy deal, letting the world know that Russia and Iran are at least on friendly terms.
The Bolivian government barely survived a reported military coup.
Several European countries election are moving more to the right.
The EU crackdown on their farming communities is not going well. While our own small and medium sized farms are slowly being drove into bankruptcy. And if that doesn’t work, they (our government) is turning off the water. Of course the normal people in the US are not going to support our farmers they way they do in Europe. European’s still go to the market several times a week where most Americans think food comes from the grocery store, not the farms.
And that’s not including all the other crazy stuff going on in our own country.
So you might be asking, where is this nut job going with all of this. Absolutely no where. All I’m pointing out is if you are not paying attention to everything that is going on, then you should be.
Be prepared, have a plan, and be safe.
