The Texas winter of 2021 is being called Dark Winter Hell. Advice that came too late for the people of Texas: The state is not prepared to assist you and you must take care of your family and yourself, and help your neighbors.
For those trapped in the frozen bureaucratic hell in Texas during the 2021 Winter Storms, the state’s leadership failed beyond imagination, as reported by Jon Bowne on infowars.
The largest lesson learned from those that endured this experience is: If the government can’t manage a full-scale natural and energy disaster, what makes anyone think they can manage our lives with their “Build Back Better” Great Reset takeover of all human existence?
The politicians in Texas are being called parasites. Particularly Austin Mayor Steve Adler (D) who hid for the first three days until the media scared him out of his hole. Likewise, Senator Ted Cruz (R) and Governor Greg Abbott (R) revealed a disconnect few expected, showing limited on-the-ground initiative.
Meanwhile, as the streets and temperatures remained frozen, power, water and food disappeared, and the elderly and disabled were cut off from lifeline resources. There was barely any real leadership to be spoken of, save for the defunded police, EMS, and one City Council member who kept working, even though she was in the same boat as the rest.
Texas rarely gets snow and when it does, it isn’t a catastrophe. So the expensive preparations never merited the weatherproofing budget of which Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and Austin Energy took advantage.
Even the local radio stations in Austin didn’t grasp their own key importance, continuing their regular programming rather than staying on air 24/7 throughout the nightmare to inform the masses who had no internet or television. Thousands huddled around battery-operated radios, burning whatever they could for warmth and eating what had spoiled in the refrigerator.
Don’t ever forget this Dark Winter Hell, Austin and the rest of Texas. No one is coming to help. You need your neighbors as much as they need you. The government IS the storm. The people are the solution and a reckoning is inevitable.
What say you Def-Con News readers? Friends of my family living in Del Rio TX reported some homes were without water, others without power. Their home had power but no water, so they were melting snow for water to flush toilets. Seems local and state managers need to either develop from scratch or revise existing emergency response and community preparedness checklists. A next good step would be voting Mayor Adler out of office. Meanwhile, people need to keep busy helping one another. And rethinking necessary actions as best they can along the lines of emergency preparedness before the next winter storm.
