Reuters is reporting that Russian actors are threatening cyber attacks on US infrastructure. In keeping with my war warning from December, be prepared for a loss of cell service, landline phone service, Internet service, GPS, and other services like power and water.
I told my wife that, should communications be lost while we are separated, she is to go home and stay until I return. It does no good for us to be out searching for each other if power, coms, and GPS are out.
LOL. She told me to keep my voice down because she didn’t want others to think I was a paranoid person.

You gave the best advice. An agreed-upon rendezvous point is a must.

“The question isn’t whether I’m paranoid. The question is: Am I paranoid ENOUGH?”
Can’t remember who said that, but it’s correct.

Cyber intrusions by all sides will be used to escalate into WWIII which is the ultimate distraction of the destroyed by the COV-LARP world economy?
The real Strangelove Herr Schwab wants it.

All they need to do is disrupt ATMs and debit card reader systems in the stores and there will be riots everywhere as EBT Welfare cards are inaccessible.

“Gentlemen prepare to defend yourselves!” (Ladies too — that goes without saying)
I told my wife if there’s a disruption in communications we have big problems. The run on the banks in Canada was instructive. Do people really think everything is “wonderful and peaceful and just happy!” Gosh isn’t it great that we’re going to be able to handle “climate change”!
We’re truly fucked — royally fucked.

We’ve begun as in hurricane prep. No power grid means no cash registers, no ATM, and no gasoline pumps. Delivery trucks with no gas can’t stock groceries. We’ve begun our seasonal routine.

People have asked about my preps, why/what for/etc. Then the power goes out due to trees, transformers blowing, drunk drivers, hurricanes, freezing cold, etc., then they want to borrow stuff. Sure, slick, no problem. /sarc
I was filling my home generator gas cans just after a hurricane years ago, when a local reporter asked if I thought I really needed that much gas when the supply was low and others might need it. The “interview” when downhill very quickly and he left me alone.

Fast, Cheap, Good – Pick two. Good Cyber Security is almost always left out for fast/cheap. Someday, it will be a blood bath of infrastructure hacking. The exploits are already known and ready, just waiting for the command to exploit.
When that happens and it will, guaranteed response will be all computers must be registered, and in order to hook to the internet you’ll have to have government installed spyware running on the device.
