Word of the Week – Aware

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aware

The definition of aware is having or showing realization perception or knowledge to be aware of the danger or aware of the latest events.

Those of you who are aware have built a disaster management plan to protect yourself your family and your loved ones. And you understand that situational awareness is at the very top level of remaining safe.

The events of August 15 of this year in Los Angeles, the flash mob looting, unfortunately, might be a precursor of things to come.

In my searching back in time trying to find other incidences such as that one. Several came up from November 2021, these flash mob lootings were on high-end retail establishments and jewelry stores.

The disturbing fact is that the latest event happened at a local 7-11 store and the things that were stolen were cigarettes, lottery tickets and probably some food and beer or wine. It is disheartening because this might not be the last time you see this happen.

With the rising prices of food, gasoline, and housing many people are being pushed to the edge intellectually and emotionally, and financially. The more emotional we become, the lower our intellect becomes.

While reviewing the video clip released by the LAPD Police Department find it interesting to see the observers on the outside who chose not to go in and be part of the activity, seem to be fairly happy about what’s going on. I hate to say it, the odds are good that we will see more of this quite simply because it is being done now and those who would think they need to do it now have permission to do so.

Even a complacent man or woman will become aggressive when they are hungry. That becomes part of the problem right there. Many people have become complacent, they are comfortable with their lifestyle and the way they live because they do not need to do anything about it. Much of the world has sunk down to become complacent, apathetic, and average.

Are you a proactive mother or father living in an at-risk urban environment with a population base of several million?

For so long I have avoided fearmongering to try to get what I consider reasonably sane and intelligent people to do the right thing, by putting disaster and emergency plans in place to protect themselves their families and loved ones.

I think that is over quite simply because the society around us is forcing the fence-sitters. The, I’ll think about iters or, the naysayers, to recognize that society is changing, and the change is coming fast.

No, I don’t have a crystal ball but it’s easy to see that even here in the United States we will see food shortages. We will see more people evicted from their homes by foreign corporations, hedge funds, and big businesses who only look at the profit.

Would you like to protect your family and loved ones? The best way to start right now is to put your food plan together, 14 days of food and water for your family and your loved ones. This is not a difficult task.
