What Will Apocalypse Look Like?

Texas is giving us a peek:

With that in mind, here are some of the services that have been cut off. Let this be a reminder to everyone that in a dire emergency, you may not be able to rely on anyone but yourself. You may be cut off from help just like we’re seeing across much of Texas right now:

•Municipal water is being turned OFF due to rising waters and possible contamination from septic systems (cholera, anyone?)
•Electrical services are failing as winds snap off heavy branches that take down power lines. Local power companies then have to fight the wind and rain to repair lines in extremely low-visibility conditions.
•911 services are totally overloaded in some areas. Calls are simply going unanswered.
•Emergency responders such as police and sheriff deputies can’t reach you anyway.
•Many ROADS are completely flooded over, bringing transportation to a standstill and causing massive traffic jams.
•Hospitals and emergency rooms are functioning on emergency power, but that only helps if you can reach them.
•Medical transport helicopters are GROUNDED due to extremely high winds and very low visibility. Only Coast Guard pilots are trained to operate military-class helicopters in such conditions. For anybody else, taking to the skies in a helicopter is “power line suicide.”
•Food deliveries to local grocery stories are disrupted, and many shelves have been emptied out. Food supplies may be disrupted for an entire WEEK.
•The entire city of Houston has declared it will shut down for a full week. No government services. No passport processing. No DMV. If you need something from the city of Houston, you’re out of luck.
•Fuel deliveries are also being disrupted, and some gas stations are near empty. Once the roads are usable again, we will quickly see lack of fuel becoming a serious problem.
•Cell phone services are on and off in some areas, mostly due to the density of the rain. This means if you need to call 911, you really can’t. It’s one more reason to be prepared to solve your own problems.

The problem in the Apocalypse will be the welfare class. They are a hurricane unto themselves, because they have acclimated to free resource availability even as they have cultured an envy of the “haves” who provided it. Once the free resource buffet ends, they will feel justified in taking whatever they can, wherever they can from anyone who has it. To do it they will mass and hit in force, probably using social media to organize. Then watch as Law Enforcement has to take down the cell towers and the mobile broadband. When they move to the internet to organize, that may have to come down too.

It will go one of two ways. Law Enforcement will stop them, at which point I would expect riots that burn large areas to the ground, perhaps just to act out in frustration, perhaps for retaliation, or perhaps to divert emergency responders from other attacks and increase the chances of success elsewhere.

Or Law Enforcement will not be able to stop them, and anywhere that distributes food or other commodities will have to shut down due to the periodic emptying of their stores without recompense. From there they will move to the highways, where the material is transported, making transportation of goods nearly impossible. Then you have Hurricane Trayvon, without the water.

Of course all of that may be nothing compared to the loss of the economy. When people’s bank accounts disappear, and jobs disappear, government won’t have the money to keep it’s people employed. Those layoffs mean vastly less money spent, which means more layoffs in the private sector, and even less money spent. Then will come the inflation which will be needed to pay off the debts, making what little money people have left worthless, and transferring what little value was left in private hands into the hands of the elites who stored their money elsewhere.

Stores, which can’t handle the losses from robbery will have even less legitimate business to keep them afloat and they will slowly disappear, meaning all there will be for the welfare class to steal will be in private hands. That is Hurricane Trayvon, mixed with Lord of the Flies.

Basically I’d assume the Apocalypse, when it hits, will be worse than Texas now, only instead of a week of this, it may be years.

It is really astonishing. It is clearly coming. There is no way to keep it all afloat. And yet all anyone can do is make it worse by trying to buy time at the expense of the future.

The only thing more amazing is, that horror is what will save the K-selected mindset, and return the urges that make humanity great.
