Be Prepared

     So far I've found dozens of websites confirming a national power-out drill in the U.S on November 13 2013. I'm not sure if this has hit the main stream media yet. You would think something this big would be all over the news. I'm not sure what to think about this. How long will it be for? Is it just a drill or will the power actually go out? These are questions I can not find answers to. My advice for anyone who is listening is "be prepared".  It would be far better to be prepared than to not be. This brings up the topic of conspiracy theories. The Internet is full of them. I have found out that most conspiracy theories have truth in them, if not all truth.
The theories being brought up on the power grid drill are no exception. Here are some of the theories....
1) The powers that be want to shut down the Internet along with the power and when it comes back up they will implant a new censored version thus eliminating alternative media sources, investigative journalists and liberty bloggers.
2) President Obama wants to shut down the power grid to create chaos thus giving him a reason to impose martial law, this is something characteristic of a dictator.
3) President Obama will shut down the power grid, so he is able to launch his war against Syria and have no resistance from the people.
4) The powers that be want to disarm the American public, this will give them a reason. This will be reminiscent of the weapon confiscation that took place in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.
5)A combination of all of these scenarios combined. A way to depopulate the U.S.
6) Nothing will happen at all. Making the drill itself a conspiracy theory.

This is a sample of the  many theories that I have found. Some of them seem more plausible than others. I personally don't have an opinion on the matter, not yet.
I will say that it would be a good idea to be prepared.
Preparation for this type of event will can be simple or complicated. The simple version is making sure you have a few days of food, water, shelter, self defense and a generator.
The complicated version can be as complicated as you want to make it. You can be part of a militia, have an underground bunker, bug out bags, multiple generators and stock piles of food.
It is ultimately up to the individual. What is really going to happen? Chances are there will be a drill conducted, but we wont really lose any power and life will go on as usual. Whatever happens on November 13th, we must remember that God is in control and he must be the place of refuge for us believers.- BDB
