Thanks for sharing.
I have felt that there is almost too much information moving too fast.
Anybody can suddenly be a journalist as long as they got a YT account.
The average social media guy does not have the resources of lets say ABC news, Reuters, AP, etc. All these cats that were yappin about what is really going on in Iran for instance, were never anywhere near Iran. They just see news and stories coming onto their screen, and interpret the intel as they believe, or deform it to fit an agenda.
Also, we used to heed the saying of "Believe nothing of what you hear, and only about half of what you see". With AI getting better and better everyday, the concept of a video or a picture supplying proof of something is going by the wayside.
This also means that trust of public knowledge is going to go downhill.
Interesting times we live in, that's for sure...Politicians can kiss my ass!!!-
This is why we talk about dumb stuff on our YouTube show. -
But you and Inor have the second best YT show that I watch! (Two totally erect thumbs up!) -
The Chinese are working overtime on perfecting AI. They have CCP plants in our colleges and tech industries stealing our technology. You're absolutely correct. Soon it will be "Believe nothing of what you hear...or see.

Good read, and as I look around the world and take in the totality of ongoing events that could go sideways fast, I am thinking we are in deep shit. It's why I still prepare and refine our readiness. The way I look at it is one domino falls the rest are sure to follow. The big picture view doesn't look good.

Personally I think a shtf scenario would be a slow rolling process and not one single event. There might be singular events within it but it won’t happen overnight.Comment

The scary one is the EMP . . . read the book "One Second After" . . .
Any number of turd head countries . . . OR . . . turd heads within normally "stable" countries . . . can put a nuclear device a couple hundred miles above eastern Tennessee . . . from a "cargo" vessel in the Gulf of America . . . pop that dude . . . and everything east of the Mississippi is either busted . . . bent . . . or not able to work right as many of it's co-workers are out of commisiion.
Actually even a smaller . . . closer device . . . that popped over Eastern Virginia . . . could wrangle the WDC swamp into a mess it would take weeks to sort out.
OR . . . another "cargo" vessel . . . opens the doors on a couple hundred shipping containers . . . 200 drones from each container could cause a bunch of trouble in a bunch of places . . .
Our gov't doesn't have to be demolished . . . just put enough confusion . . . fear . . . and anguish into 100 million people thereabouts . . . and it might as well be a full fleged war.
May God bless,

I like to read prepping stuff, missed this thread somehow. The challenge I find myself in is being the gray man, watched a marathon of The Twilight Zone recently, the show about a guy who builds a safe room, stocked up for him and his family and the neighbors destroy it, so, nobody makes it thru the disaster. Guess it depends a lot on location, right now I'm a small town city-dweller.Comment

I watched a show many years ago (maybe 10) that gave 3-4 scenarios that would wipe us out. Their number one spot went to some type of bio-disaster. Something either man-made or natural that we couldn't counter and it would kill most people on Earth. Then you have the disease from the rotting bodies and it's like a chain reaction.Comment

Do you have Taco Bell explosive diarrhea on your Bingo card?
Personally, I don't eat Taco Bell since they did away with the Chili Cheese Burrito, but some folks still do... (I'm pretty sure Taco Bell's Chili Cheese Burrito with hot sauce was the pinnacle of human evolution but then they went and changed the menu and it has been downhill ever since.)Comment

The only Taco Bell stuff I buy nowdays is the little can of taco seasoning . . . and bottles of their mild sauce.

My wife and I keep tortillas and corn shells in the house for when we get the urge for burritos . . . and I can do one a lot better than Taco Bell does today.
Like you said, Inor . . . they have hit the down hill slope and need to find a way out. My wife used to love their Tostada . . . (?) . . . a flat corn tortilla with beans, lettuse, onions, tomatoes, and sour cream. Never needed to ask her what she wanted . . . that was always the item. Yeah . . . they quit that one too
May God bless,

Notice to all the vegan health wackos, nobody got explosive diarrhea from eating a thick juicy ribeye on a regular basis.
