The Mormans Are Exploiting The Election With Fear ...OSMOND FAMILY



Go to Walmart and Target....you will see on the shelves canned dried food that is being marketed as EMERGENCY FOOD.. who is behind this? THE OSMONDS FAMILY thats who. Blueberry pancakes, Dried sweet and sour chicken, stroganof, raman style soups, flour, sugar and puddings are the offerings.

Alan Osmond has been exploiting the fact that if President Obama is re-elected that God will punish our country with more natural disasters, riots in the streets and more terror. Osmond says we must not be unprepared if Willard Romney is not elected.

These people will not stop at anything. This is all the republican party has to offer us.

cater to Mormon survivalists. Faux News runs commercials for that sort of stuff as well.

I have known several mormons and the vast majority of them are good and decent people. Shame on you for tarring an entire group with such a broad brush.

in high school was from a Mormon family. Good people, whose beliefs aren't really any more or any less crazy than any other of the major religions.

To start with how many wives does Rmoney have? Or to totally make fun of the morons. Scare people about their cult. Anything goes. The Osmonds are disgusting, they ALWAYS have been.

the ones that would gladly sink our country, its infrastructure, the food supply, etc to cause a massive die-off. I would be afraid that RMoney Would Intentionally Cause An Armageddon Situation.

Alan Osmond is not making this 'hoard for the Lord' stuff up on his own. The LDS website encourages such survivalist tendencies.

Wish I had a picture to send you of one method of storage, but alas I have none. I will tell you though of a less lovely, but as good as it got method of food storage that may help someone think outside their small spaces box. My hubby and I were living in a student housing trailer with 4 kiddos! Where does food storage go in that environment? All the likely spots - back corners of rooms, under couches, behind doors, above kitchen cupboards, and even covered by a lovely cloth posing as a living room end table. We still felt like there was so little food stored in our home, so we put our bed up on two horizontal (rather than the taller vertically kind) dressers - one on each side. We built a tower of food buckets where the old dressers had been and filled the underneath of our new loft bed with yet more food storage. with all of our efforts, we were finally able to manage to achieve that 3-month supply!


What happens when the 3 month supply runs out?

You might be able to stash away enough food to last you a year or two if you want to.

But if the earth is hit by a meteor or becomes uninhabitable due to global warming or world wide economic collapse occurs that's pretty much it. You'll be able to defer your trip to the planet Zorkon or whatever the fuck they call it for awhile but you're gonna end up fucking dead just like the rest of us.

the food is meant to feed your family and your neighbors in case of catastrophe (like a hurricane or earthquake). I know its much easier to make fun of others than to try and understand them.

I thought they were excited for the world to go up in flames since after the destruction of this horrible sinful earth, Mitt is going to rule the perfect NEW world from Missouri with Jesus for 1000 years.

you are not getting out of this life alive, sooner or later you are going to die.

In my case, I don't necessarily want to live on a ravaged planet. Climate change, the way humans are exploiting every resource, the possibility of being annihilated by an asteroid or nuclear exchange, who would want to be around after that?

In case of some natural calamity, such as the Yellowstone caldera popping off, I would not want to be around anyway!

Nuclear exchange? The idea of being burned horribly and surviving is horrific, particularly since the would be little to no medical expertise left.

the short time I spend on this earth would be better spent trying to alleviate the horrors of war, starvation, bigotry and hate...for without those, the chance of our survival due to a man made calamity are far greater.

As for natural phenomena taking us out, pull up a lawn chair and watch the show, you won't want to miss this.
