NEWS EXTRA: “BE PREPARED”
Something is going to happen – something unprecedented. Across the world from one country to another people are warned to stock up on food and water. In Britain the UK Government’s “Be Ready” campaign is urging households to store at least 3 days’ worth of essential supplies in order to cope with unexpected disruptions. Severe weather, power cuts, and cyber attacks been cited as possible reasons for the warning. A “national emergency” of one kind or another is envisaged. Bottled water, non-perishable foods, wet-wipes, a torch, and cash are among the items deemed essential. Water and non-perishable foods are understandable commodities which may be needed, and a torch would prove invaluable if a power cut happened – but wet-wipes and some cash? Why these?
Some reading this will recall the advice given by the UK Health Security Agency in July 2018 when the nerve agent Novichok was reported to have been found in Amesbury and Salisbury. “As a highly precautionary measure” people in those towns were advised to “wipe personal items such as phones, handbags, and other electronic items with cleansing or baby wipes”. If Novichok is such a deadly poison, why would any product as mild as a baby-wipe be adequate to mitigate against the potential threat to health? This “precautionary guidance” was withdrawn on the 30th January 2025, but perhaps the scenario of another Novichok attack is making it necessary for households to stock up with this highly inadequate resource. As for cash being available, does this not sound strange in this digital age when every effort is being made by the higher powers for people to engage in digital transactions and for cash to be phased out? The only conclusion one can draw from this advice is that a cyber attack causing a shut down of the grid is anticipated.
Critics have accused the UK Government of being “light years” behind other countries. While France mirrors the UK in advising people to store 72-hours’ worth of food, the Swedish government recommends having a week’s supplies, while the German government says households should have enough for 10 days. The US government is evidently expecting something far worse as it has told citizens to have enough for 90 days. Is some crisis therefore going to last for up to 3 months? In late October Defence Secretary Wes Streeting bizarrely announced that Britain had “a little over 1,000 days to improve its defences, alongside NATO allies.” Britain’s “adversaries” (presumably including Russia) could be “in a position to attack” by 2030. The “1,000 days to complete our mission” (to prepare for war) would be reached in July 2029 which is just a matter of a few months from the dawning of 2030 which we associate with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
Warnings of this kind are global in nature. At least 33 countries (and possibly more) have advised citizens to prepare for an expected event when it may prove impossible to go out and obtain food. What might this be? If the warnings are being issued in countries across the globe, remote from one another, it cannot be weather-related. Bad weather might affect one vast area and a few countries, but surely it would not affect Germany and the USA, for instance, at the same time. Similarly, an earthquake might cause untold disruption in one country, but it would hardly affect another country 2,000 miles away. It might be war – but would so many countries expect to be affected? The Pentagon is preparing for 90 days without the grid, and AI labs are warning of an impending internet shutdown, so might this be the “Cyber Covid” which the World Economic Forum has warned about? Klaus Schwab’s “Great Reset” will require the closing down of the current system in order to establish something new and “build back better”. Might the anticipated rapture of the Church have something to do with this? When millions of true believers suddenly disappear, the world will be thrown into utter confusion. That might be the time to implement a global shutdown of the internet.
