Germany to Tell People to Stockpile Food and Water in Case of Attacks

August 22nd, 2016

Via: Reuters:

For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.

Germany is currently on high alert after two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month. Berlin announced measures earlier this month to spend considerably more on its police and security forces and to create a special unit to counter cyber crime and terrorism.

“The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days,” the newspaper quoted the government’s “Concept for Civil Defence” – which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry – as saying.

    If it’s only Germany doing this, then we could surmise that it’s a terror attack they expect.

    However, if other EU countries do the same, then it’s something bigger: perhaps war or a massive wave of terror events.

    Having said that, it’s when they start closing museums, hospitals and hotels, and the VIPs cancel their public engagements, that you really have to start thinking about WW3. Cancelling leave for emergency services and the military, and recalling recent retirees to these services is also a huge red flag.

    Of course, this could be one big experiment in Germany, to test the national supply chain in the face of a sudden surge in public demand. The data could prove invaluable for when war comes for real.

    I think that people who read these types of articles should always think about the serious collapse of the U.S. (Western Economies).

    All the anti-terror laws rely upon the word “terrorist” or “extremeist” which will be used to describe any and all protesters as the economy continues to collapse.

    All these headlines are simply a means to obtain consent from voters to enact further surveillance and arrest powers.
