Leaders and Leadership

Be careful that you do not place all your eggs in one basket.

There is a tendency, in times of crisis, to look to individuals that appear strong and capable for leadership and help. It is a natural enough tendency and is an aid to our survival. However, it is also a time when you can be preyed upon by individuals with an intent to harm instead of help. As individuals we are looking for answers and if someone appears to have an answer we tend to blindly follow them. Predators know this and they use this knowledge to their advantage.

We also tend to think that we are helping others when in fact, we are merely aiding a predatory individual. Don't allow yourself to get caught up in that. Right now our focus needs to be on prepping our families and our environment. If we can set aside some to help others, great. That is also a moral imperative.

I have lurked on this site for months now. I see a dangerous trend here. A lot of effort and money is becoming poured out into effort which may leave people at risk. Do not reveal bank accounts, names, locations or any other identifying information TO ANYONE.

This is a stressful time and during times like these we tend to forget rules and protocols and common sense advice. Selling ads and giving anyone a way into your life from the internet is simply foolish.

Be Careful and Be wise.

From a friend who is always lurking.

Lol

Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder?

Prepnow made some valid points.  We really don't ever know who we are dealing with.   

  thanks for the warning, and it should be for all internet sites, but I have never been personally asked by any one on this site for money, I wouldn't have it to give any way  lol roxy

At this point,  all of my personal information is floating around all of the flu forums.  Not to mention that I'm not very well liked among extremists and God knows who else these days.  I'm probably the only one who will get  the short end of any deal around here, and I will make sure of it. Nobody has anything to worry about.  Now, send me your ss#'s and we can get started.      

Albert, glad to see you have not lost your sence of humor.

hey, the only people I have noticed who did not like you Albert, was the really craaazy way out there people. Ya know the ones who attack other people, their way of life, their beliefs, etc. The type of people I personally am grateful for you getting rid of, hey I always told my children, if I didn't make you mad at least once a day by telling you no, they I wasn't doing my job,because my job was to protect you and watch over you and not be your friend. So, Albert keep up the good work and try to not let it get to you.

prepnow and focus- your posts make me very sad, first you purport to be concerned about others during the coming pandemic, but the clear intent of your posts is to bring disharmony to this board. There are people finding out about panflu for the first time everyday, some of those people stop here. Is it your goal to scare them away from prepping? I'm guessing you're already prepped so I guess it doesn't really matter to you if others prep or not. You are writing your actions in your life book and someday you may be asked for that book, you should think about this. Please stop using a public forum to try to air dirty laundry, it's...well you know.

lol Frankiew, Don't worry you didn't make me mad, I knew just didn't realize, my bad, I should have highlighted their names.

What are they so upset about?I dont get it.Albert gives money out of his own pocket to those that need help prepping.Albert doesnt know these people except by posts and email. He does this with  blind faith that he is helping those in need and not being taken advantage of.How is that bad?

Thanks WalkinR. Even superman had his kryptonite lol.  Like I said, if AFT makes money, we will prep everybody here by storm.  It would actually be fun to watch.

Caution is always advised on the internet but I have never seen Albert show anything but compassion and concern for the members of this site. It makes me happy to see everyone rally around to support him as he has done for so many others. There is a real sense of community here.

Hi HC. They said that the internet police is watching and that I was somebody else. Strange....
I removed the post because I don't like to acknowledge these people whatsoever. I have never used another handle since day one. I have nothing to hide and it's a matter of integrity. I sometimes use admin when I'm working on the forum, but that's it. We expect everybody to abide by the rule of never using multiple usernames.

Doom,despair and agony on me! LOL

Not sure if everybody noticed, but we just placed our new banner ad for med tents. Now, I just need to get every hospital in the country to buy one and we solve the overflow triage problem lol. We did this to help hospitals properly plan. We're goig to talk to some regulatory entities in the healthcare industry to save time. We would give up every penny of profit if that's what it takes to get the hospitals to plan. We had no choice, but to figure out a way for the hospitals to create a "solid realistic plan" to handle the potential overflow.

On another note, we're about to be all over the search engines so maybe we will get some incoming calls. On a revenue generating side, we could earn $500.00 per tent with the arrangement with the manufacturer. Again, preparedness first, and profit second. We may have to give up the profit side in order for this to work.
    
    

I was thinking along the same lines.The gov. will surely give them some kind of cut,grant or credit.Just dont think they have planned that far yet.

we may have to become lobbiests, lol

I think, that albert has done so much for us all that he deserves the beneift of a doubt. If albert was a shady person, he would not be still doing this work.  Furthermore, Albert has given generously of himself.  I don't think Albert would throw away all of his hard work to take our money and run to brazil.  THe 21st century's first draft of history has been written already.  Albert is more than a footnote in the history of hte 21st century. He will be lauded as someone who saved thousands of lives.
