To think we are being lined up for something?

I'm sure Amazon do ' window coverings '
I did notice a the toilet roll space in Iceland was a bit sparse today though.

Mankind is adaptable.

It is also expendable.

Having looked through this thread I'm seeing some obviously AI responses - the age of bad grammar and linguistic typos giving away the russians trolls is a thing of the past.

Ain't that the truth. Mankind is adaptable.

Oh, I think our way of life is teetering on the edge. We are ridiculously clinging to a way of life that’s only been in existence a short amount of time. Wars are the norm, there’s hardly been any moment in history where wars aren’t being fought. We love a life of abundance. Even the poorest get access to food and water in the west. People are considered in poverty if the can't access the internet.

Empires rise and fall, the West might fall, the Islamic empire might fall, Russia is Empire building. It’s all just a replay of the cycle of history.

Humans adapt. We’ve been living in extraordinarily times of peace and abundance. But when one day ends another will begin.

The real problem with disinfo now is it is just so easy. I have access to Google's Gemini Advanced AI program. This is what it came up with !

write me a mumsnet post in reply to this "To think we are being lined up for something?" - make it a bit doomy and add in some sort of secret knowldge that others aren't knowlegable about and include spelling mistakes and typos.

OP, you've hit the nail on the head. It's not just "something" we're being lined up for, it's everything.

I've seen things, things I can't unsee. The patterns, the numbers, the hidden messages... it's all there if you know where to look. But most people are too blind, too caught up in their own little lives to notice.

They think this cost of living crisis is just a blip, a temporary inconvenience. They have no idea it's a deliberate ploy, a way to soften us up, make us more compliant. To make us desperate enough to accept anything, no matter how outrageous or unjust.

And the worst part is, it's working. We're already seeing the first signs of mass unrest, of people turning on each other out of sheer desperation. But that's exactly what they want. Chaos, division, fear... it's the perfect breeding ground for their agenda.

I know it sounds paranoid, like something out of a conspiracy theory. But trust me, this is real. I have sources, people in high places who have confided in me, told me things that would make your blood run cold.

But I can't say more here. It's too dangerous. Just know this: the storm is coming, and most of us are woefully unprepared.

So what can we do? I don't have all the answers, but I know this: we need to wake up. We need to start paying attention, connecting the dots. We need to prepare ourselves, both physically and mentally, for what's coming.

And most importantly, we need to stick together. Because if we don't, we're doomed.

I really don’t think we are heading for nuclear war, zombie apocalypse, etc, but there are problems with the food supply chain. The Ukrainian war has impacted supplies of cooking oil and grain. The UK’s wet winter/spring will impact on summer crops. Europe has also had crazy weather and that may impact their food production. Brexit ( the gift that just keeps giving 🙄) will impact our imports. And finally…. at least one water company is in dire straits. I’m sure there will be contingency plans in place, but it would be sensible to have a couple of days worth of bottled water.

If you have the finances and room to store some basics, then do so ( without crazy panic buying), that way the government can concentrate on those who have less resources and will need help.

Hi Vlad

Will be if the Daily Fail pick up on it

😂🤣😆

Window coverings? Where would one get them from then?

Hillarys?

Of course it’s not bloody true I’m not even married. I’m just showing anyone can post anything. It’s all just project fear. Go and have a walk, get outside, enjoy life.

The government suggests having 3 days , at least, of food, water and emergency supplies stashed "just in case". How do they suggest the thousands of people relying on food banks will manage that ?
Supermarkets are blatantly profiteering while reducing access to their better value/own brand products.
The droughts in food producing countries are already affecting fruit and vegetables, oils, cereals, tea and coffee , further contributing to inflation.
The infrastructure in the country as a whole is crumbling. Flooding is causing insurance companies to remove our umbr.ellas just as the storm is at its worst
Civil servants are no longer civil servants. They are dictators or Tsars telling the plebs how to function and to be grateful for what we receive. They make Yes Minister look like a heavily censored documentary. Sir Humphry had nothing on this lot. If we dare to complain we are reminded to "treat our staff with respect" while no one, anywhere wants to be accountable for the countless errors we "service users" experience on a daily basis
Europe along with the UK has failed Ukraine while appeasing Putin who all the time is edging closer to China. Then there's Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar encouraging and funding fundamentalist fanatics.
Gaza is a tragedy beyond words with the US demonstrating breathtaking hypocrisy in condemning Israel for responding to deadly force employed against its citizens. Not by ordinary Palestinians just trying to get on with their lives but by extremists trained, brainwashed and weaponised by the countries I mentioned earlier.
The UN is becoming another beaureaucratic monolith producing little more than hot air.
Now we have an election where we have to decide whether to vote frying pan, fire or solar powered extinguisher.

Anyone else concerned for the future?

Even if this was true, and frankly I doubt it. Scaring people serves absolutely no purpose other than to make issues like panic buying worse and compounding issues that never existed in the first place.

DH works in defence manufacturing and testing, they’ve seen an uptick in orders but absolutely nothing pointing to imminent crisis (and they would).

There’s a bit of a whiff of Russian disinformation on MN today (probably the thing we’re at most risk of just now).

Seriously mate I know you’re not going to believe me but all I have “prepped” here is a box of shortbread left over for Christmas.

Well,you would say that,wouldn't you? Wink,wink.

Election called on 4 July because Mrs Sunak wants to be able to go on holiday on 5 July - and her wish will be granted.

I wonder if a Mumsnet thread is powerful enough to generate food shortages through panic buying. We shall see....

So irresponsible, you're frightening people

Just stop. Really. Stop.

My husband is very senior in a civil service capacity at the MoD. He clearly never tells me anything as it would be highly illegal but he HAS asked for our house to get stocked up he’s says ‘just in case’ for 4-6 weeks supply including water and window coverings. Still insists there’s nothing to worry about though 🤷🏼

I don't think it has to be anything specific, but there is a lot more supply chain instability than 10-20 years ago and people are starting to think about it more carefully now. I think Brexit might be most likely explanation as I think some border control aspects are changing now and are likely to cause delays for shipping of goods.

I know a blacked out car keeps driving past my house. At least you all know to run to Tesco tonight and stock up on lentils.
