Barney Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 What on earth is on the news, apparently there's been a blackout till now. Germany are saying that people should buy 10 days worth of food and water to last them 10 days??? I have the news on about 12 hours a day and never saw this coming. Any ideas??? Is ET coming home or should we be buying iodine tablets and hiding in basements? Its madness to scare a nation like that. Im baffled. Its all over the web and news bulletins now so youll probably know more than me by time you read this.. Quote
Barney Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 I hope its not a dirty bomb, id rather just be blown up. Id hate to walk around looking shit for months throwing up, I do that as it is. Quote
Sloane Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Wth? There's nothing on the news about this yet here. Sounds bizarre. Quote
LSD Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Looks like it's just recommended preparedness protocol out of a government think tank https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/08/22/germans-maybe-soon-be-required-to-keep-10-day-stockpile-of-food-in-case-of-attack/ It's the sort of thing everyone everywhere should already do as a general rule.

Barney Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Well the right are going to have a field day with this. I can even imagine Trump saying he saw it first. Oh dear. Quote
Guest Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 oh my god I drink so much water. I'd literally have to rent a space to store the water. Quote
karbatal Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Who has space to store all that for a family? I read those words yesterday and was WTF? Quote
GOD Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I'm planning a berlin trip in 2 weeks, I need to know. 😦 Quote

Now it makes sense. Thank you for a voice of reason. Finally. Quote
Jaz Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I'm planning a berlin trip in 2 weeks, I need to know. Umm go ahead and go. It's just a general rule (see above). Quote
Jaz Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Put your head back into the sand. Nothing to see here. Would you quit being negative! Also BambiGambi, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. There would be a travel alert if there were. LSD said: "Looks like it's just recommended preparedness protocol out of a government think tank" Quote
promise to try Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I read it yesterday only in one newspaper and I found it to be one of the most disturbing news ever,so pre war situation. Quote
promise to try Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I don't know if it was true or not,but when I read that germany didn't let erdogan's plane land in germany...and then he was back in power,well,I guess they know that they better be careful.and I'm saying them,but it could be any of us.

Guest Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I'm realistic that's all. The laws of probability. I'd expect a scientist, such as yourself , to understand the difference. This realism comes when you live in a place that has suicide bombings, mass shootings, and machete attacks in the span of a few weeks. In case you don't know, that's NOT NORMAL. Quote
Love Spent Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I always need proof. I'm a scientist (who doesn't know how to spell clitoris - until I was corrected). Quote
karbatal Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 It may be a 'general rule' but that doesn't mean it's NOT a direct response to the terror threat. Germans are told to stockpile food and water for civil defence. '' The authorities are to boost stocks of smallpox vaccine and antibiotics in case of biological attack, and set up reserves of petrol and oil at 140 locations around the country to ensure a supply for 90 days. Other provisions include setting up decontamination sites outside hospitals in case of nuclear, biological or chemical attack. '' Put your head back into the sand. Nothing to see here. Meh Quote

Nora Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I read that yesterday while surfing on the internet and all I thought was:"huh? Did I miss sth" Well, I did not buy food and water for 10 days...I found this recommendation a bit disturbing... Quote
Love Spent Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Karb, You and I both know we'll never agree on this. Let's not even try. Quote
karbatal Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 The thing is you DO NOT live in a place " that has suicide bombings, mass shootings, and machete attacks in the span of a few weeks." lYou live in a country where there have been two attacks and some crazy weirdos have copied some behaviours. To think that you can be in danger where you are, and you will have stay home and for two weeks drink water you had stored, well, no. Quote
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 preparing for the Rebel Heart tour DVD Quote
karbatal Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 IMO the German Government let slip some information about how to prepare to the new Tears of a Clown little theaters tour and how much water and food you have to take with you to queue to get tickets. Quote

Barney Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 They must know something through intelligence to spend all that money. I dont think any country in Europe has got that sort of money to throw around on a whim. Quote
runa Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 They did the same in Canada, a few years ago. We had government commercials on TV about that. This is an incomparable way to instigate fear to their citizens. Right wing government are excellent in doing this. They play with this fear to get more vote. And we see it works very well, just reading the comments in this thread. Quote
