According to a source, which I shall not name, the plan is simple. Spin the issue till most of the populace stops preparing, (which has all ready occured) then hold us hostage with food, water, ect. While the public, and business's have slowed preparations, the Fed is going full tilt. THE INTENT IS, TO CAUSE A PANIC. This will be a power grab. The plan to LOCKDOWN 120 cities is in place. Either the Polly's are a part of the spin , or they have been dumbed down beyond reason. This, is a not so humble opinion.

The Govenment wants Milne to be RIGHT!

Enough of this RANT. Flamers,,,,, Have a blast,,,,,, But REMEMBER this post.

As a Warning Message....go tell it SCOTTY. Just don't expect any converts.

It is ALL about power. Who has it, who wants it, and who wants to hold onto it. How Y2K will be utilized as a sick tool to achieve power objectives is yet to be known.

The battle-lines of demarcation have been drawn and there will be no convincing of anyone on any side. There is the Right, the Left, and the Asleep. Don't bother waking the Asleep. Their snooze will last until the nukes start raining down or the Stock market collapses.

But as far as Y2K discourse goes...

This is a war, a culture war that Y2K has been drawn into with a host of other topics. It's as polarized as politics is.

I say the time for talk and reasonable debate is over.

Prepare yourself and families for what you expect and forget the rest of them. "Let the dead bury their own dead" someone posted from scripture a few threads down.

Very appropriate.

Scotty, This is not up to your previous standards. If we had Hoff or someone claiming an unnamed/unnameable source that _______ industry has been proven INDUSTRY WIDE compliant we would ask for the source's name as a demonstration of proof. We gotta do the same thing here. NO flame intended, just, we need data not rumor or unnamed sources.

Once again, I cannot make rational decisions based on "HE said", "HE said" or unnamed source staatements. I need data, and the plural of annecdote is NOT data. Nor are unsourced statements.

PS In NO WAY is this a change in my stance, nor does it change my contention that I need to be prepared to go from harvest to harvest on my own.

Sorry Chuck, I can't, and I won't. I don't expect any of you GOOD people to take my post, hook, line, and sinker. I am just passing on the word I heard.

Steelers will still kick your Butt. :)

Scotty,

Could you let us know a few things which will not be revealing?

1) Is this person expressing an opinion or are they privy to informational sources which directly (not indirectly) express this?

2) Do you know this person, relaibility, etc.

3) What are the motives for revealing this to you?

4) What is this person doing practically?

5) Any advise from this person about what to wacth out for, how to keep from getting blind sided, etc?
