PARIS BURNS: Riot police fire tear gas as 30,000 protestors
- Thread starter HankD
- Start date
Sheesh, what do you think is happening over here?
Uh-oh, it's Friday so these riots will fire up again:
Macron urges calm, Paris police prepare for more violence
May survived her vote but now Macron and other EU members say she can't renegotiate the Brexit thing. Heard Macron was up for a no confidence vote of his own but not sure where that stands now - if his popularity rating is really sixteen percent, he has little clout left.

Macron has promised millions of Euros in tax cuts, wage increases and reducing the fuel tax, but one protester interviewd on TV yesterday, said "we don't want consessions, we want a new revolution"
I have read posts on another board by Americans who seem to be planning for that and building up food to last them for years.
The Mormons store up big food and water supplies and then you have the survivalists. You have a lot of Mormons in England, don't you? Do they store up food and water there, too?
I have no idea. The site I saw that on was another US Baptist site.
Do you think that it is a good idea to have a big supply of food? I have enough to get through a blizzard of six weeks but I don't carry it through the summer. I have about twenty gallons of water.
If our electrical grid were attacked, most of us would die in a year. Generators are expensive but a lot of the rich have them at their homes. But how do you buy gasoline for cars without electricity? And communications would be destroyed.
Survivalist forums are a dime a dozen, been that way for twenty years. A big one was set up for the Y2K bug, and now it's just evolved into a big bug out site. Seen Christians do it, even Europeans - it's really not a bad thing to be prepared in case the grid goes out, there's a major biological threat, earthquakes, mud slides, hurricanes, you name it, but don't think it's time to go all out to prep.
You'd want a garden, even in a city (bad bug out), weapons (knives, bows, rifles, etc), a generator or two, plenty of firewood, especially up north), water storage and a source, and some bulk food. I do think more people than you think could get through it, but my downfall would probably be medicine that I have to take that has a short shelf-life, can't hoard that sort of thing.

Very witty about the Y2K bug and the bug out!
I too have issues with medicine in that at most Medicare lets you have 90 days and one medicine has a storage conditions.
If you are talking about fleeing the Anti-Christ, I would have a tough time.
One thing not mentioned is keeping the Bible with you at all times. I have it on the cell but that will soon go dead without electricity so I need to correct that, don't I?
The people I spoke about were planning for years. They call themselves preppers. That have arms to keep evetyone else out.
Have you heard of Solar panels? On your roof they can power your house most of the time. In your garden or yardl, you could have enough so sell to your neighbours.
Around here we have many wind farms, mostly off shore. We also have solar farms springing up everywhwere, The biggest Solar farm is planned for marsh land about 20 miles from here, with state of the art batteries to store energy.
Indiana is not a good place for solar. No one uses it. We have very cheap power from coal. We are # 5 in coal mining in the USA. We sell cheap electricity to surrounding states. Ohio has some nuclear.
Solar panels are great for bug out but keep in mind that they have to be replaced in around seven years - you can buy extra, keep them in a shelter away from the elements and wrap them under glass or something and install as needed. Wind, hydroelectric are also good alternatives - not nuclear, and generators are just too noisy.
Yeah, preppers can be over the top, especially the types that live in caves or underground bunkers with stockpiles of guns and ammo. I had a friend in Wyoming whose dad was really into prepping but he got too old to do it solo so now he's here in liberal lala land on forty acres, downsized. I never considered the Bible, I'd probably just read a hard copy version if the internet was down.

I never knew a prepper but Mormons have a rule about having so much food and water but I forget how many years they carry at home.
When the Anti-Christ comes, you are supposed to go on the run and not go back to your house for anything. That means that you have to keep the Scripture with you, huh? Of course, pre-tribbers don't make such emergency preparations but they are mostly Americans.
There was a news report this morning that 40,000 deaths a year are caused by air polution, the most by deisel cars and also by petrol cars. When they talk about polution they aso say airliners are heavy poluters. But although they tall about restricting cars they say nothing about airlines. My daughter used to live in Battersea, under the Heathrow flight path and the polution was terrible especially when the aircraft jetisoned fuel.
The same report said that the most poluting cars were Nissan and Renault diesels, some of which were 11-12% over the legal limit.

Do they dump fuel that often over there? I thought pilots only did that in the case of an emergency, since it's so wasteful and environmentally damaging to do so.
Oh, I remember Dieselgate, when VW got around the tests. Of course, the EU just bought into the idea that diesel was cleaner and then promoted it to the citizens but it simply wasn't true. Diesel stinks, trucks here about all use it, why I-5 sometimes chokes me (asthma), even though I'm ten miles away.
