To reiterate and expand on my note posted yesterday: My e-mail inbox has been full of queries from readers about the USAF bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear weapons development sites. Folks want to know if this might mean WW3. For some articles on that topic, see our June 19th Odds ‘n Sods column. There could indeed be some escalation. There is certainly the risk of an Iranian sub-critical “dirty bomb” being detonated, most likely at an American container seaport. And there is a heightened risk of cyber attacks and sleeper cells attacking in American cities, and at critical infrastructure sites all across the country. Our three national power grids are at particular risk, so be ready for extended power outages. Be vigilant and be armed, folks! – JWR

We are in need of entries for Round 119 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. More than $960,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest.
