I posted this PDF from the President's National Infrastructure Advisory Council
They do say a minimum of 14 and there is the possibility it could last up to half a year.
This is in No Way intended to cause panic and anxiety, but rather the opposite. . .to prevent said panic due to *lack of planning.*
In other words, if you're prepared for the worst, then you have nothing to fear.
* Be smart, have protection and provisions which include plenty of water with your non-perishable food supplies.
* Have cash on hand as your debit and credit cards will no longer work if the grid goes down.
* Be prepared with plenty of blankets and alternate heat sources.
* Protection and Security including a source on self defense tips
Remember, this can cause especially among those who didn't take the time to prepare, mass chaos. You want to be prepared to Avoid that!
**It is titled Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage and can be found in the sources below.**
Warns that an attack would likely come with little to no notice and could cause complete chaos for at least a half a year, โLong-duration, lasting several weeks to months (at least 2 months, but more likely 6 months or more) due to physical destruction to equipment, such as transformers or transmission lines; or the severity of the event resulting in limited workforce to repair damage, or inability to create or transport replacement parts,โ said the report.
The report recommends Americans have enough supplies on hand for a minimum 14 days, a number that now seems grossly inadequate considering the threat and the timeline for reestablishing essential services after an attack.

> D. Develop and conduct outreach and training for businesses and individuals to build a
culture of preparedness at the individual and household level. Community enclaves are predicated
on the idea that the majority of U.S. citizens are prepared and able to safely shelter in place for
extended time periods.
They have recommended preparing for up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money, and healthcare.
Now when I posted this out on Voat, as you can imagine, many had a great deal to say. Numerous comments dealt with the thought that in no way would it take 6 months.
Others were adamant that Q said it would happen in the last Q&A.
Now I read Q drops and analyze quite often, I have been mocked and referred to as a Q head, so definitely a follower, but Not to my own Demise or Destruction.
I love and trust the Plan, but I trust myself more. The Q group are comprised of common sense loyal patriots, but Q is not God.
Since common sense prevails, it is simply wise to be prepared. Nothing over the top, just common sense and Plenty of protection.
Debates ensue at times over a .45 or 9mm. Well, how good of a shot are you? Have you practiced?
Clearly the Protection is for Just that, to protect your family from the criminal element. Clearly you cannot count on getting an officer who isn't compromised and even if you do. . .what is their response time? It doesn't always work out in your favor.
Another dropped this Army Field Manual in pdf form on Guerrilla Warfare and Special Forces Operations.
Here is my analysis which is in no way meant to be comprehensive. Just touched on a couple key points that I have gleaned from being awake a relatively short time. Those of you out there who are light years ahead of me in this department should let us know your thoughts, comments, experience and advice. It would be Greatly appreciated.
God has a reason for Every Person alive at this time. If you are on the side of good, your wisdom and sound advice are Needed.
Here is my summary which was given in a response to the Great Patriot who shared the Field Manual.
Thanks for the pdf. Interesting read.
I believe any true patriot worth their salt isn't going to be relying on propaganda and sabotage, but rather something that backs up what they say and Demand. . .that the Constitution be upheld and we have the ability to defend ourselves, not just from the criminal element but also from an oppressive government.
Praying and hoping the Others take a lesson from this, it's free to skim or read and no account needed.

Our government got way out of hand. I appreciate Trump and Q attempting to drain the swamp through peaceful means. I also know many who are *Get 'er done* type of people, self sufficient and adequately armed to do just that.
It is true, people who live outside of urban areas are generally better stocked and better equipped to handle emergencies and combat. But there are those who were forced due to their livelihood to move into urban areas. You don't take the country out of someone forced to become a city dweller. City dwellers don't have the same connection with nature as people who have resided in the country a great part of their lives. It's a whole different ball game.
Not saying city dwellers aren't resourceful or self sufficient, I think they don't realize Who all they are up against. They meaning corruptors. You saw what the liberal Soros groups that were organized resort to. ..destruction and violence. How are They going to defend themselves when they rant, rave and are destructive, yet shake in fear and disdain at just the mere Idea of a gun?
That field manual is very interesting. Did you catch the para-military part?
Not long after I fully woke up I began studying and reading about our true history. The government and their "agencies," have proven to be all about *protecting them,* all while Selling it to us that they are **protecting us.** Are they? Have they?
They certainly do protect All their own special Interests and agencies with Program Names to make them look Important and Necessary. But who created the actual conflict?
This past summer I studied the Truman Doctrine and some of these operations and wars that, when digging deeper appear to be solely orchestrated and unnecessary, except to further an agenda!
The writer of the Truman Doctrine came out later and said he didn't believe the Russians were a threat. He did and wrote what he had to at the time he was told to do so.
During Operation Gladio they used these **Para-military** so specialized, generally very small combat survivor style groups to further their plan and topple parts of Europe. Organized by NATO (no shock there right) with the aid of some so called "neutral countries" and of course none other than the CIA. Always the CIA aiding in some sort of orchestrated destruction Then trying to Justify it to us.
They weren't just in Italy, it was found out they were all over under different names in places like Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, France, Austria, Finland.
Only Italy, Belgium and Switzerland carried out investigations. Guess who wouldn't even comment? Mr. CIA himself, George H.W.
From what I can tell, they sold the need for these para-military groups and having arms caches all over by ranting about communist invasion. It was the Russians, Russians, Russians back then too. Yet many of these para-military units acknowledged they were really there just for subversion. Who's subversion? Their "fronted threat of the Communists," or the Citizens catching on to what These controllers were Really about?
Seems to me the Controllers want to make sure they have their Own Army stationed everywhere.
What guarantee do we all have that they Really dissolved them? Evil will always provide ways to protect itself.
The question becomes, do the soldiers know Who and What they are truly fighting for? Are they for We the People or their superiors?
My dad and grandpa were in the military! My dad was Army. My dad has been for most of his life in some form of Law Enforcement, protection and security. What he says is Always assume they are Against you. Less surprises that way. In other words Be prepared as if you are facing an enemy. Clearly caution and common sense are Required.
Clearly if they've entered your home or establishment uninvited, they Are an intruder and considered an enemy and for all intents and purposes, up to no good. Otherwise, they would have knocked or rang the bell.
Now I'm not saying we have a military not supporting our president or We the People. . .I'm thinking more along the lines of these hidden weapons' caches and these specialized forces. They've had them before historically, secretly. They reference them as "clandestine." Why wouldn't they Still have them Now? What assurances do we have that They Do Not? Do You Trust your Government? Remember when we were told to trust them in subtle messages the displayed in text form on the screen?
The whole UN thing and the witnessed convoy. . .not sure who all has had a chance to poke around in that info, but some foreign officers have certainly had some interesting stories to tell that cannot be discounted.
About how they have big plans for us. . .the UN, and will Do so by Force! Now the progressives Think they want this, but they lack discernment and understanding. They will figure out real quick. . .it's Not in their best interests to have One World government. The perceived perks they believe they will have will Not outweigh the controls and limitations of their personal freedoms!
Guess who believes he will have a seat on the UN to continue his reign of terror over us? You probably already know, Obama!
Ultimately, Never trust Anyone and Be Prepared with plenty of ammo and provisions to protect your loved ones. You can't Count on anyone else. . .just you and your close, trusted family (only the ones who have your back).
**A word about security.**
Besides the obvious of having plenty of ammo and a weapon on hand. A good bat or small axe is easy to hide and never hurts to have on hand. Yes, a firearm is your best bet. But if you don't already own one make sure you have easy access to a bat, your favorite knife etc. Some protection is better than Nothing.
Be alert at all times. Keep your head up and not in your phone when your out and about. A distracted individual is an Easy target for any predator.
All the common sense issues you can think of like if you have an alarm, keep it on even when you are at home for needed security, not just when you leave. You want Your family and yourself protected more than just your Stuff.
The same for your doors. Your entrances have locks for a reason. I don't care if you live in a small town and you Think no one has died or been harmed from a break in. Don't be the First, be smart, keep them locked for the protection of your family, Yes, even during the day. Criminals don't stop and say, oh, it's daylight, I can't invade or rob during the daytime! Lock your days, double check them when you go to bed. Don't give an intruder any added help or easy access.
Pay attention to your garage door opener. Don't even leave it in a locked vehicle as criminals won't hesitate to break your windows especially if mass chaos ensues. Your garage door opener gives them easy access to the inside.
If you do go out, make sure you have easy access to your weapon. If you don't have a permit to carry, have your knife easily accessibly, keys in hand ready to get into your car immediately. Keep doors locked in car upon entrance and exists. Be alert of your person at All times. Criminals watch behavior and body language. They prefer Not to mess with someone who is alert, looking around and aware of their environment. Let them know you are Not an Easy Target by keeping your head Out of the Phone.

Here is a article I did a while back with other Patriot's tips inside. Please excuse the JPEGS and PNGS that ended up copying over. You will get the picture though.
Also has some prepper websites. I'm not suggesting any sort of obsessiveness, just glean what you can take and use with discernment and common sense to best protect your family in the Case of an Emergency. This is all simply to prepare, not predict.

I myself am a nut for nuts and nut butters as they are really sustaining, even as snacks when it is not really a perceived emergency except in my growling stomach's short sided view. They pack well, at least the nuts themselves, don't require cooking or prep and are all around Great!
Also protein bars. Aldi's has a great selection. My daughter refuses to eat in the cafeteria at school, a girl after my own heart as I too preferred to library to nonsense! So takes a protein bar and bottle of water every day.
Never underestimate the Need for a great water supply And a method to purify if the emergency gets lengthy!
Every time I go to the store I pick up an extra jug of distilled.
Raisins and oatmeal for something different and a few cans of fruit since fresh may not be available for scavenging if it is the winter months.
You can always use butter in lieu of milk as my grandma was a farmer who didn't refrigerate her butter. To this day I may refrigerate a box or two for baking, but our butter stays out in a cupboard because we like it soft. Doesn't hurt it one bit. Now I imagine it would after long periods go bad, but the alternative to this is ghee.
Ghee preserves well for months without refrigeration as all impurities are removed during the boiling process and skimming off that could make it spoil.
Dried or canned beans of any variety and rice are excellent.
My mother introduced me to Jasmine rice. It is delicious with a smooth, wonderful consistency. Just put in a little more water than the 2:1 ratio. I do closer to 2 1/2 cup water to 1 cup of rice. Put your ghee in it with your powdered onion, garlic, salt and pepper and it's delicious. If you are growing some green onions and cilantro indoors, you're all set for something fresh chopped up on top.
Also having some boxed chicken stock for one time use or cans of broth for longer shelf life will help you in making a soup for something a little different from your canned fish, beans, all around canned goods and rice.
Has anyone grown potatoes indoors? Too far? I do have a lot of windows, of course that's a mixed blessing as could pose as a huge security risk. I would have my cats guard but they don't take to the pistol and keep laying down on the job!
Please leave your tips, tricks and experience for survival and preparation in the comments below. The will be Greatly appreciated! Godspeed Fine Patriots!
