A Time For Urgency
While reading the blogs of friends and FaceBook posts, I am detecting the affirmation of a sense of foreboding and urgency I have been experiencing as of late.

I believe things happen for a reason, I also believe in conformation, when you see, read or hear the same topic over and over again from numerous different sources, it is usually a good indicator of someone trying to tell you something.
That little voice which some call intuition, others call a sixth sense has been working over time with me and many of my colleges and friends.
The “voice” along with my dreams and numerous news articles all seem to indicate the harbingers of doom at our doorstep.
Being a Gulf and Bosnian war vet and having worked in the Mid East as a DoD contractor for numerous years, I have been warning that this fall could become very dangerous with respect to a Mid East war between Israel and Iran.
All of us know that a summer war in the Mid East is possible but not recommended due to the extreme heat.
Having said that, the horsemen seem to be saddling up and the war drums are beginning to sound for an all out confrontation very soon.

The conflict between Israel & Iran could erupt at a moment’s notice.
This is not at all comforting considering the US uses 25% of the worlds energy is basically bankrupt.
What would the implications of such a conflict have on the US and other “developed” nations in this point in time?
All it would take is for the Iranians to sink a super tanker in the Straits of Hormuz (which they have said they will do) and it’s lights out for the western world.
Especially the bankrupt United States.
I’m not terribly confident in a flotilla of international aid coming to our rescue, are you?
The moment the “spigot” of Mid East oil runs dry the US and most western economies, already reeling from poor management , corruption, greed and pilfering will collapse.
What could we do in the case of such a catastrophe? Not very much.
Oh come on this is America you say! That’s not gonna happen here!
We are currently feeling the effects of a bankrupt economy at the Dept of Defense level.
Don’t think so? Read this article from The Joint Chiefs Of Staff.
National Debt Poses Security Threat, Mullen Says

With US Forces deployed in well over 50 nations at this moment, with all of their equipment, (which equals OUR military equipment and might) the situation hits danger close here at home.
With a now worthless dollar, two wars in Iraq & Afghanistan and a full blown Mid East conflict all while the oil spigot is in the off position, it doesn’t take Nostradamus to predict the outcome for an oil dependent and broke US.
First: Fuel Rationing!
Second: A breakdown in basic services such as hospitals, water and sewage treatment followed by blackouts as a precursor to full blown grid collapse.
Most hospitals have only 3 days of reserve diesel fuel for their generators.
Third: wide spread chaos due to cuts in police, fire, (neither able to respond) due to critical fuel shortages.
There is a saying, “We are all nine meals away from chaos”, or three days of food.
In all disasters, disaster simulations or models the grocery stores are empty in 72 hours.
With that in mind let’s look at what may come next.
Four: Trucking, everything you eat, wear, purchase to resupply your family, home or business comes to you via truck.
All food and fuel deliveries will be for emergencies only and at a minimum for the Gubment, while sporadic if not non existent for the rest of us.
Any food in your freezer will spoil unless you have back-up power and can refrigerate. Drugs that need refrigeration will perish, so will the people who need them.
Criminals will be on the march knowing the police will not be able to respond, rape, murder, wide spread looting will run rampant.
Now let’s look at our border situation and terror threats. The 25 or so years of insecure borders could also rear it’s ugly head in this scenario.
Most terror experts agree that there are numerous terror cells operating in the US on our soil.

And then there is this! Huge Cache Of Weapons Found Near Mexican Border
http://www.bluegrassbulletin.com/2010/06/huge-cache-of-weapons-found-near-mexican-border.html
We know that Hezbollah has infiltrated the US border and plans attacks on US citizens.
What better time to do this then when the US Police are not in a position to respond?

Back to the US Forces deployed overseas, there will be no way to carry on the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.
How would we pay for fuel for the war machine or to ship bullets and beans to them?
In that case we would bring them home right?
Without the ability to pay for fuel or shipping how will they and all of our military equipment get home?
Being a military logistics guy by trade, 90% or more of our equipment get’s into “Theater” and out again by commercial cargo vessels that (the Gubment) charters.
These vessels require fuel which requires money if you can even get the fuel!
The Army, (that’s right the Army) and the Navy do have some cargo vessels but not nearly enough to move all of equipment home and must be supplemented by commercial carrier.
It is also a mammoth undertaking to redeploy the troops requiring numerous personel & months at a minimum.
All operating on a worthless dollar and no fuel?
Some will be airlifted yes, but not the heavy’s like the Tanks etc etc.
Now we start to see how that could effect us here in the US where we no longer have a manufacturing base on which to draw to resupply our depleted war machine.
Russia and China are both having water and wheat problems which equal pandemonium in their respective counties.
They WILL come looking for food!
Now , with the dollar dead, our power and communication grids in the toilet, our troops and equipment basically stranded in overseas conflicts and no leadership here at the helm, the picture gets eerily more grim.
So PLEASE, read the alternative news media, listen to that voice telling you to prepare, prepare, prepare!
Listen to your gut feeling or the gut feeling of a loved one when they voice their concerns that something very dangerous this way comes and respond accordingly.
Do your own research, learn new skills, learn old skills, hunting, planting, get in shape, learn to shoot, stock up on supplies, look for alternate forms of energy while you can because tomorrow we could hear the hooves of the horsemen at our doorstep!
May G-d bless you and may He save the United States Of America!
