Why Do I Prep?

Why do I prep? People often ask me why I have such a large pantry. Well, thinking about it, I guess I’ve been a prepper all of my life, but never realized it until a few years ago. To me, it’s just logical common sense along with how I was raised.
Being born and raised in suburban New England, prepping is in my blood. My family, as well as everyone in our extended families, had, and still do have, a decent sized pantry. All of our neighbors also were prepared. Prepared for what you ask. Well, many of the grandparents in these households lived through the Great Depression. So a shortage of ‘things’ was a way of life. These people learned from their struggles during the Depression and when things got better, they began to stock, afraid that hard times may come again.
It was also not uncommon at all, that at least once during the winter you may be without power for 3 or 4 days due to a Nor’easter. If you did not lose power, you were definitely trapped in your house for 3 or 4 days. You made sure that you had at least a week’s supply of food on hand if you lost power during a summer thunderstorm, tornado or hurricane.
Another reason I prep is that you never know what life us going to bring your way. You or spouse may lose their job. You or your spouse may become ill and unable to work. Earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack, you name it, the list goes on. It only makes good common sense to be prepared.
Let me give you an example of something that happened about 5 years ago. Ken and I both came down with the seasonal flu at the same time. It was the year there was a shortage of vaccines, so we were unable to get protected. Well, after we went back to work over a week later Ken told me this story of a co-worker.
The co-worker and his wife had also come down with the flu at the same time. He told Ken he was so glad his neighbor came and brought them soup and some groceries.
I was shocked! It was beyond my comprehension that someone would not typically have at least a week’s supply of food on hand.
Kudos to the neighbor who helped them out of course, but you should not rely or be dependent on anyone else. This neighbor was also potentially put at risk for catching the same infectious virus. I have to point out that Ken and I didn’t run out of soup, juice, Kleenex, medicine etc. This is the good feeling of being prepared and well stocked. Being prepared….you can’t lose!

Gardasil HPV vaccines test positive for recombinant DNA that persists in human blood! SANE Vax Inc tested vials purchased in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Poland, and France,indicating contamination is a global phenomenon. In short Dr. Sin Hang Lee found rDNA from both HPV11 and HPV18, described as “firmly attached to the aluminum adjuvant.” This “vaccine has aluminum which should never be injected into the human body (it’s toxic when injested, and specifically damages the nervous system ). The aluminum adjuvant is a dangerous biohazard- more like a biological weapon rather than anything resembling medicine. The SANE Vax announcement found the Gardasil contamination is not “natural” rDNA from HPV virus itself. Rather, it is a genetically engineered from of HPV genetic code that is added to the vaccines during their manufacture. Countless reactions have been linked with this and many other “vaccines”. Now legislation is attempting to be passed to make mandatory vaccination in boys 12 years of age. This is just another part of the dumb down, slow kill that we face today. I urge you to research any and all medications prior to your decision to use them. The FDA isn’t even testing radiation in our foods. So why should we trust it’s master Big Pharm. and the AMA. Sane Vax tests were conducted after an adolescent girl experienced “acute onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis within 24 hours” of being injected with HPV vaccine. This information continues with extremely alarming, varied implications as the rDNA presents numerous consequences. Hit your search engines find out about the vaccine fear mongering presented in advertisements that are pro vaccines of all types. This is a survival must. Awareness is Preparedness… Survive-All.. P.S. This seemed the best location to post on M.S.B. I hope folks will follow up, the links and threads go to the Merck Pharmaceuticals, Gates Foundation and others who have used aid as a front to inject disease and poison throughout the world. Stop, Please stop using their poisons and survive…
