Intelligence reports from preppers around the world.
1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you're actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed.
2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We're not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you're talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts.
3. If your post isn't from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post.
4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on.
5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you're on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence.
If your view isn't backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal.
User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator... Don't make a habit of this.

the right-wing propaganda machine pumping pure hate for 3+ decades will do that to a nation. the biggies: rush went national in '88, faux news launched in '96. things like citizens united certainly didn't help any--but by that point, a good 30 percent were already a lost cause.
Nailed it. This is the culmination of a Republican party that has, at its core, one big requirement to fulfill:
There must be an enemy. Real or imaginary, there absolutely, at all times, must be a supremely powerful, evil, threatening force that is the embodiment of the anti-Christ and wants to destroy America. That keeps people in fear. People living in fear will trade their freedom and way of life for a false sense of security, but no matter how many rights and freedoms they get, the enemy never goes away. It may change from time to time, but there will never not be a threat.
It's why they have been working so hard to dismantle education the last several decades. Critical thinking is not only a prohibiting trait to be a Republican, but for Evangelicals as well. Asking questions has always been shunned and shamed. A "I am never wrong/do not question me/I am the decider" mentality of Republican Presidents has persisted since Nixon, continued through Reagan, continued through GWB, and is strongly shown in Trump.
Coupled with many of those in political power (to include some Democrats, no doubt) that are compromised by Russia (either willingly via financial bribes, or because Putin has dirt on them), this looks like it could very well be the messy end to the US.
