The opposing view or expectation is that the test will, or may, usher in major changes on the political front; perhaps even "soft martial law" and a new currency system. Possibly even forgiveness of all debt, public and private.
Naturally, I favored that concept, and have suggested in previous newsletters that we have time to be prepared for the worst - or the best - but that either way there could be some major disruptions to get through.
This is where I must admit to some really slow thinking.
..............................................
While we do not have regular television, or cellphones, my idea of preparedness was that we should at least have a radio so we could listen to the emergency broadcast on the day.
Therefore I resurrected an old Kaito radio that uses rechargeable batteries, solar power, regular batteries, DC power, and/or a dynamo crank.
It has FM and AM as well as short wave - it's a Prepper's delight - although listening to the NPR news parroting the official lies ("only 95 people known to have died in the Lahaina wildfires - with some still unaccounted for") is a constant reminder that propaganda, fear and false flags are the real weapons of the enemy.
Last night, the penny finally dropped.
Yes, having a radio like that is an excellent idea.
But why do I want to listen to this emergency broadcast anyway?
Whether the outcome is good, or bad, it's going to be one or the other whether I listen or not!
So we won't be listening.
That decision took a load off my mind, and put me in the mood to play a game with meme-maker -V-.
