Confusion

I need some serious help!! It is alleged that Chinese hackers can bring down our power grid. Wacko Al Bagdadi has said he is going to attack the US homeland. North Korean wants to Nuke us while Iran is building a Nuke to do the same. Our Veterans must wait for much needed healthcare in a system fraught with corruption and nepotism. But the only focus coming from Obama is the legalization of people who DO NOT belong in this country and who would have been shot entering Guatamala or Iran. What am I missing?????

    One of our president's contractors and close confidants correctly identified us as being stupid!

    samrigel -

    This is what you can do: Do not live near a major population center (though with North Korea's targeting abilities, it might be safer to live Right In The Middle! of one). Establish an independent source of power - solar/propane/power pallet (but do NOT go off the grid). Buy a satellite uplink for your home computers. Keep enough food and water on hand to last a month or two (longer than that is just icing...after a couple of months, the rules change). Keep your eye on 3D printer tech as a future resource (able to print replacement parts). Research and select software that protects your privacy.

    It is difficult to see how, as individuals, we can alter the course the NSA and foreign governments take (without going into politics). But we can influence how the repercussions effect us personally. All of the things I suggest above are also good precautions against ice storms, earthquakes, hurricanes and somedamnfoolhittingthepowerpole.

    It is almost certain that you will make use of the precautions you take - even if it is just due to the power pole being hit by a car. So - do what you can to mitigate the bottom line...and keep voicing your opinions to whomever will listen.

    Hang in there, I don't think you've seen anything yet. What will happen to the military after he appoints one his own to Secretary of Defense? The next two years are going to be a ride we should never forget.

    How few "years" away from a nuclear weapon does it have to be before you start to care? All of samrigel's concerns are real and serious. Diverting attention to the NSA does not address that. Rational people are concerned about both. The list of threats and destruction from the progressives is endless.

    Iran is many years from having even one nuclear weapon much less a delivery system that has a prayer of hitting the US. NK may do it, barely and then be turned to an ashtray. Don't believe that stuff. Chinese hackers may be a concern but I am MUCH more concerned about the NSA spying on all of us and Executive Orders giving the president effectively full dictatorial powers at a whim.
