Why Are Governments Suddenly Telling Everyone to Prepare?

Oct 28, 2026
Suddenly, governments around the world are warning citizens to prepare for emergencies, power outages, and disruptions to essential services. It seems like each day brings a new doom. So, I figured we needed to take a closer look.
From America's FORTRESS initiative and military power-grid independence plans to Britain's 72-hour emergency "BE READY" campaign to Dutch preparedness booklets to Japan's disaster warnings (not to mention the EU's latest crisis simulation), governments across the world seem to be preparing for the worst.
Today, I'm following the money behind emergency preparedness, examining billions in very recent potential defense contracts, the plans for military microgrids, counter-drone systems, fuel logistics, and the growing industry built around preparing for catastrophe.
We also have to factor in something else of importance: political dissatisfaction, ongoing riots, and contentious elections unfolding around the world while governments are "preparing" for scenarios involving cyberattacks, infrastructure failures, blackouts, and international conflict.
History has shown us how "emergencies" can reshape government authority, surveillance, and take away our freedoms.
So here's the question: *Does a disaster actually have to happen for everything to change?*

THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS.
"The Worship of Mammon-Giving It Away.”
“I AM the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Ex. 20:2, 3.
Last week we noticed that phase of idolatry manifested in the worship of Mammon, in the getting of money. A further method of manifesting idolatry in the worship of Mammon is in giving away the money that has been so obtained. There is just as much idolatry in giving away money that is obtained by idolatry, as there is in getting it by idolatry. Not all Mammon worshipers are misers: only a few of them. Many of them are abundant givers; and these have just as much satisfaction in giving away the money as they had in getting it, because it is further indulgence of the same idolatry.
Last week we cited how the laboring man is oppressed and robbed in his wages; the poor man is oppressed and robbed in the increased prices; small dealers are oppressed and robbed or driven entirely out of business in order that a few in the great combinations may draw to themselves the tribute of all the people. And when that is done, they will make gifts of millions to colleges and universities, hundreds of thousands to hospitals, thousands to churches, etc., etc.; and then further pride themselves upon the world’s idolatry of their “great benevolence.” But there is not a particle of benevolence in any gift that is thus made: it is sheer idolatry.
By the Lord, in perfect justice and righteousness, all our gifts are measured, and stand, altogether upon the basis upon which we get the money.
We say it again; for it is applicable to people who are not millionaires, as truly as to those who are: All the value of our giving as measured by the Lord, in perfect justice and righteousness, rests altogether upon the basis upon which we make our money. If my money is not made honestly, not a cent that I ever gave away will stand to my credit: it can not in righteousness: it can not in justice. I robbed another man to get it; it is his still, and when I give it away, it is his money that I give away.
And this is another reason why the two mites of the poor widow that day when she gave it, was more than all that the wealthy put in of their abundance. We know that the Mammon worshipers in Christ’s day were like the Mammon worshipers in this day: they would crowd down in the dealing when people were selling to them; and they would crowd up on the price when people were to buy of them, and thus at both ends they increased their gains. Of these it is written: “It was this spirit that was manifested by the priests and temple officials in their gatherings for the Passover. Cattle were bought by the dignitaries, the moneyed men, who oppressed those of whom they purchased. The representation was made [to these owners out in the country, who had the cattle, the sheep, and the doves, and whoever had these to sell] that these animals were to be offered as a sacrifice to God at the Passover, and thus urged, the owners sold them at a cheap price. Then these scheming men brought their purchases to the temple,—purchases which meant double robbery,—robbery of the men of whom they had purchased, and robbery of those who wished to sacrifice, to whom they were again sold at exorbitant prices.”
Is your smart TV listening to you? Probably. But, this may be a step too far.

If you own a Samsung TV without a built-in microphone, it might still be listening to you, according to a researcher who shared his findings this week.
On the social media platform X, cybersecurity researcher @log4j shared that an investigation into Samsung smart TVs found that televisions without a mic will scan for connected devices that are equipped with a microphone. The smart TV will then utilize the audio data collected from the soundbar or other connected Bluetooth devices.
"This is pretty evil and clever," @log4j said about their discovery.
The researcher recently gained administrator root access to their own 2025 Samsung smart TV and has been sharing their findings in a series of posts on X.
Your smart TV is likely listening to you. At this point, that shouldn't be a surprise. Many televisions advertise this functionality, since your TV has to be listening to you to take voice commands and interact with other smart home devices.
However, other unadvertised and concerning privacy issues are arising from the device's ability to listen in.
For example, @log4j started looking into their TV after receiving oddly specific advertisements and found that their television was logging things like "dog barking" and "baby crying" under an event called EV201/SOUNDSENSOR_ON.
As NotebookCheck.net points out, while Samsung 2025 Vision AI TVs advertise that the devices detect barking dogs and crying babies and send alerts through the company's SmartThings app, Samsung does not advertise that this data is also sent back to the company.
Researcher @log4j also found that Samsung TVs track what happens inside specific apps. For example, the TV monitors what a user does in the YouTube app and even logs data such as the ads a user skips.
Mashable has reached out to Samsung for more information about the reports from @log4j and will update this piece when we hear back.
These privacy issues are not unique to Samsung TVs either. Last month, Mashable covered a report from YouTuber Gamers Nexus, which claimed to find that LG TVs were secretly recording users even when the televisions were turned off. LG later responded, denying some but not all the claims.

Why the Heck is the Pentagon Prepping for Doomsday?

The Pentagon is preparing for a scenario where America's military could have to survive 90 days without relying on civilian infrastructure. From power grid failures and fuel shortages to factories switching to wartime production, the new Fortress initiative aims to keep the military operational even if a major conflict disrupts America's supply chains. Here's what the plan reveals about the growing threats facing the U.S. homeland.
