It’s been claimed that this could happen. But most serious preppers discount this possibility.
It would tie-up too many police and/or “officials” to go to every house and search through it. For maybe finding a few buckets of wheat or a couple of boxes of MRE’s. Plus there’s the “danger factor” of getting past what’s probably an armed homeowner.

Need I say more

It would take down the electric grid in a manner similar to an EMP attack. Even grid-connected solar energy systems would be vulnerable (but off-grid would do much better).

Does anyone know of this?

Exactly. As a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Neuroscientist, the abrupt cessation of ALL medication will not only kill millions, but be the cause of countless murders. I’m not as worried about the Opiates as I am the Benzodiazepines and Hypnotics! Abrupt cessation of Valium and Xanax (and of course the Opiates), alone can not only cause Cardiac Arrest, but pain, and will shut down all functioning of the brain. Addictive Hypnotics such as Lunesta will cause such confusion and horrific side effects the person will be totally incapacitated.

The life saving medications governing the heart, blood pressure, diabetes, kidney functioning, etc., will kill millions within 24 hours. The most dangerous of all, however, is the threat
of the millions upon millions on Psychiatric medication, from antipsychotics to antidepressants. Within 48 hours, they could become the most potent threat.

With the massive divide between ideologies, I do believe there will be an eventual showdown between them and not a pretty one! The question is not if but when?

Many recent disasters, most notable, Fukushima, was at least two dimensional. They had plans for earthquakes, which were executed properly, they didn’t have a secondary plan for the tsunami. As you stated in your article, there are many possible primary causes of a societal collapse, but those are only the first of many issues that will follow a societal collapse.

No, you can’t plan for everything, but it shouldn’t take much thought to figure out what will affect YOU in short order. For instance, I live at the end of a very long supply route. There have been countless times when certain items were not in stock locally because of weather problems or a glitch in the shipping process. So far, it has been nothing more than the inconvenience of not having the product you usually buy. (Have you ever seen a grocery store with NO potatoes?) But, should the problem become prolonged, shelves would empty quickly. Not only grocery items, but fuel, auto parts, and ammunition would quickly be scarce. Prepare accordingly for what you would face first, then start on the next most possible scenario. But, do SOMETHING. Failing to plan IS planning to fail.

I agree, this situation is also known as the zombie mode, those folks that cant get their fix will be mindless and most dangerous.
