Thoughts on the Syria Crisis and Prepper PDFs 9/7/13

We’ve been following the current news on the response to the use of sarin gas on civilians in Syria and, to say the least,  it has been a real show. In the past 2 days, I have seen news articles that make it perfectly clear that world leaders (besides Russia and China) are waffling on a decisive response plan but two things are certain: 1) Everyone has an opinion about this and 2) It doesn’t matter what we think, things are out of our control. The only thing we CAN control is how we prepare for the possible scenarios. I tried to bring some of our relatives up to speed on this issue and I honestly do not know how so many people could be voluntarily choosing to ignore it.

There is just one political comment that I would like to share and it’s the one thing that has been the single biggest influence on my plans. Here it is: We cannot rely on our President nor his administration nor this Congress to make the correct decision.

I am writing this post at 2:09 PM Eastern time on Saturday 9/7/13. Obama is still insisting that the US must strike and the latest news from Europe is that the EU strongly feels that Assad was behind the attack on civilians. Things change fast and it’s my hope that war is not escalated in that region at all. Even so….this household will be preparing for as many scenarios resulting from this as we possibly can.

Internal strikes sponsored by Iran, gas price spikes and shortages of everything else this country imports are at the top of my concerns.

In light of recent world events, I thought it would be a good idea to show some propaganda posters from the last World War:
