VIDEO EXCERPTS: So the German government has sent out leaflets that look like these. It's a small handbook to raise awareness for preparedness in Germany. The booklet has the title of Planning Ahead for Crisis and Disasters. So now the Federal Office of Germany of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance wants the German citizens to be prepared.
What a turnaround. Can you believe it? A couple of years ago, prepping was depicted as being right-wing lunacy, and there was no reason to prep. Here, for example, are some mainstream articles that told people not to prep because it's right-wing.
Here they're describing a "dangerous" scene: "Guns in town. Preppers are people who stockpile supplies and weapons, eagerly awaiting the day of reckoning."
But then later, you know, with the COVID pandemic and with other things happening like the war in Ukraine, there was a little bit of a shift. To maybe prepping is not too bad. Solidarity-based prepping. If there has to be an apocalypse, then let's do it together.
When people hear about the word "prepping," they immediately think of eccentric individuals in bunkers. But nobody considers that food banks have been supporting people in crisis for decades. So suddenly prepping is not that evil anymore.
[...] Also, now we have a new banking law. So with the new law, anybody that lives inside the European Union is not allowed to have a bank account in a foreign country. Only inside the European Union. So if you want to open up a bank account in the USA or Singapore, it's not possible even if you have a passport. They have made agreements with foreign banks that they cannot serve EU citizens if they live in the European Union.
This is brutal. The European Union is forcing banks outside of the EU to stop providing core banking services to EU residents unless those banks set up a licensed branch inside of the EU. What matters is the residence, not your passport...
Germany is asking its citizens to prepare for air raids ... https://youtu.be/8OE8g9aibSA
