yes, i think it could happen and the reason the government is downplaying this book is because we are so vulnerable

I completely agree that something like this could happen here, and I don't believe it's a matter of 'if' but of 'when'. The government will not be able to help much and there will be a lot of death. Sorry to be a downer. As a Mormon, I have been taught all my life to be prepared just as this book states. It's a way of life. The most inexpensive way to get wheat that I've found is through the church's food storage centers. Twenty five pounds of wheat for six bucks? Absolutely. The church has made it as cheap and easy as possible to obtain basic food needs. You absolutely DO NOT need to be a Mormon to buy there. I've attached a link. The website also has information on how much you should store for your family. Good luck! https://providentliving.lds.org/self-...

Seriously going to look for info on non perishable food, set up a plan to acquire and keep, implement rotation to use it and restock. Am in hurricane zone but need to be paying better attention to readiness than I have. Can't count on advance warning for cyberattack. The government is not ready for something on this scale.

Everyone needs to reads this book. Part of it is happening now. Wake up all.
Leisa Sutton
As plausible today if not more so than the day this book was released. With everything happening with Russia and China these days, the severe breaches into our cybersecurity, and the extreme weakness of our infrastructure we need to be pushing our representatives to make this a priority. This is a "when" not "if" event. The government will not be there to take care of you. You need to be prepared to take care of yourself.
