Degringolade: Sports
But the way that sports are currently structured really does have to change. Twenty families drive a minimum of 6-7 miles every day for 12 weeks for their little prodigals to play a silly game. There are no more sports where the children ride their bikes to practice. No, the practice itself is an event, there are parents there who watch the entire practice.

TEOTWAWKIAIFF: Americanus Marketus Ninjasarous
Technology is handy, but it is no replacement for skill. Useless technology on a firearm is more of a hindrance than a benefit. Picanny rails are nice, but I don’t feel a burning need to fill them with gadgets. There is NO EXCUSE for not being able to hit a military silhouette at 100 yards while standing, with factory iron sights. Once you get to that level of skill, then work on 200 yards, then 300… When the barrels of the Mall Ninjas were swaying 3-4″ while they were trying to shoot at a 25 yard target, I had to look away for fear of pissing myself with a bout of laughter.

Survival Acres: Endorsement for President

Endorsement for President
We’ll have to see if they’ll steal the election for a third time, anything is possible now. Expect HUGE voter complaints and discrepancies again, why fix what obviously works? But I’m not calling the (s)Election yet, I don’t know. I thought last year that Hillary was their pick, but unless she becomes Veep and Obama is assassinated, then no, she’s not headed for the Presidential pretender position.

But once again — it doesn’t matter. Nobody is listening, certainly not Congress, nor the American people. We will get more of the same, only worse. That flushing, sucking sound you hear when you listen carefully is the vortex of an Empire imploding. Next, you will hear the titanic crack of nuclear weapons going off as the Empire denigrates its reputation even worse over some undeserving region.

She Survives: Cookware…Diggin’ In or Buggin’ Out
Whooo, glad I got that out of my system. I’ve owned my fair share of cookware over the years. At least 6 sets in my 12yrs of marriage. All but my cast iron and most recent set (about a 6mths old now…housewarming gift that I think was above and beyond) were sets from chinamart. They didn’t last long, couldn’t handle my abuse and generally fell apart before they were 4 mths old. Nothing like picking up a pot of hot soup only to have a handle come off. That’s dangerous I tell ya!

The point of this is…get the good stuff when it comes to cookware. You most seriously don’t want to be cooking a meal over a propane/wood/whatever stove only to have your aluminum el cheapo decide to go kaput.

Off-Grid - life unplugged: solar, wind, hydro, architecture, smallholdings, free stuff » $1800 12V solar system
The consumer electronics maker aims to sell the system for less than one-tenth the 2-3 million yen ($18,100-27,200) charged for comparable home-use systems currently available in Japan, by designing it to supply power only for lighting equipment, radios and electric fans - items it regards as the most basic necessities for off-grid users.

The backbone of the solar system is lead-free lithium-ion batteries capable of efficiently storing power generated by solar cells during the day, making up for the fact they cannot produce electricity at night or when sunlight is obscured due to bad weather.

This bike thing is the same. While on the surface, it seems logical that encouraging more bikes would reduce pollution, but the exact opposite seems to be happening. By taking streets and parking spaces out of circulation, the cars - whose numbers are increasing, not decreasing - get stuck in more traffic and have to circle the block more times before finding a space, resulting in MORE pollution being created.

Double Doodie Bags are a product you take camping. You befoul them with your body waste, seal them up and throw them in the municipal landfill where some poor schmuck digging for aluminum cans to support his meth habit unknowingly opens them up and is showered with fecal matter as the methane gases swell the bag and manufacture a crap grenade. This product came about, I am positive, simply because modern American man has become so lazy he can’t even conceive of digging a hole in the woods anymore but must use a manufactured product to separate himself from his waste products.

The Worst Is Yet To Come
This is a rather catchy title and it means exactly what it says. The worst is yet to come. This is something I’ve been saying for a long time, but it’s now in the news.

The worst of the global financial crisis is yet to come and a large U.S. bank will fail in the next few months as the world’s biggest economy hits further troubles, former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff said on Tuesday.

The collapsing dominoes in the financial sector has only begun. We’re not even half-way there yet.

SHTF Home Brew Equipment? CHECK! Beer Self-Reliance
This post is written as one big THANK YOU to all the readers that have supported SHTFblog since the first post back on November 19th, 2007 (National Ammo Day). Since that post I’ve been letting Amazon profits, Field Manual profits, commissions, three PayPal donations, and advertising revenue (thank you Weaponcraft) accumulate until I had enough to do something with. It’s been 10 months. My intent has always been to use the “SHTF money” toward SHTF “stuff”. I have by no means gotten rich off this blog, and figuring the time and effort involved, the value of my time (financially speaking) would’ve been far better spent somewhere else. BUT - this blog also servers a self-entertainment role.

Code Name Insight: Can You ‘Live Homeless’?
I pass homeless people on the streets of my city, I’ve walked through local forests helping with a homeless count, I’ve camped numerous times in the wilderness by choice, but fortunately I have never been homeless. Since we need to be prepared for anything and since being homeless is a reality that many people are currently facing in our country, I figured now is a good time to find out how others do it. Mostly they seem to be creative, often they just get back to basics, looking for a dry place to sleep. Keeping a low profile and blending in also seem to help. Here’s some ideas:

CNNMoney.com: Value Driven: The standard-of-living bubble

August 20th, 2008

Value Driven: The standard-of-living bubble - Aug. 20, 2008
Since credit card debt has been growing much faster than the economy - more than 8% in last year’s third and fourth quarters and over 7% in May the most recent month reported- people are apparently using it as a substitute for income. Thus, for the past year or so we have still maintained the standard-of-living illusion.

It may be that the standard-of-living bubble finally has to deflate. Sustainable increases in living standards have to be earned, not borrowed, and that means performing ever higher value work that can’t be outsourced. We haven’t been meeting that challenge very well; doing so will probably require much more and better education for millions of Americans, which takes time and money.

The result may feel like deprivation, but I don’t see it that way. Who knows - we might even find that living within our means and saving a little money actually isn’t so bad.



OpEdNews: War, Oil and Lies

Newt is currently spreading the fable of having more oil reserves in Colorado oil shale than all the oil ever produced in Saudi Arabia. And that the Democrats won’t let us produce that oil.

This is a true story. Well, part of a true story, but as Paul Harvey would say, “this is the rest of the story.” We can’t get the oil out of the shale, I know, that’s a picky detail but one I thought was worth mentioning.

I have written several detailed articles about oil shale. There is no viable proven method to extract shale oil. Oil companies and researchers have been trying to perfect a method since the early 1970s at a cost of billions of dollars. Not to mention, oil from shale is synthetic and makes poor gasoline.

NATO, Russia Exchange Sharp Words Over Georgia
Meeting in Brussels, NATO foreign ministers have said they could not have normal relations with Russia as long as Moscow had troops in Georgia.

“We have determined that we cannot continue with business as usual. We call on Moscow to demonstrate — both in word and deed — its continued commitment to the principles upon which we agreed to base our relationship,” the ministers said in a statement.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reacted by calling the statement “unobjective” and “biased.”

“It seems to me that NATO is trying to make an aggressor out of a victim, to whitewash a criminal regime, to rescue a chaotic regime and is on the road towards rearming the current Georgian leadership,” Lavrov added.

NATO also offered Tbilisi some support, in the form of a new forum called the NATO-Georgia Commission to deepen ties with Tbilisi.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also said NATO would not permit “a new line to be drawn in Europe.”

Russia withdrew only part of its troops in Georgian cities Tuesday, defying a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a full pullout and NATO’s cutting of communication lines with Moscow.

Some Russian troops remained in Georgia to protect South Ossetia’s borders, Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, deputy chief of staff of Russia’s armed forces, told CNN Tuesday.

Russian soldiers and tanks are at Poti while a column in Gori left for South Ossetia.

Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, dismissed the decision of NATO foreign ministers to suspend formal contacts with Russia during a meeting in Belgium Tuesday.

Russia Briefly Seizes Georgian Port - WSJ.com
Russian troops briefly seized control of the economically vital Georgian port of Poti Tuesday morning, a day after Moscow said it had begun pulling its forces out of Georgia.
Some 70 Russian peacekeeping forces entered the port grounds Tuesday morning on armored personnel carriers, jeeps and an army truck, according to Georgian government and port officials. They detained 20 Georgian soldiers and confiscated their weapons. They left about four hours later for their base near the Georgian town of Senaki, taking the detainees with them. The Georgian soldiers were driven away on top of APCs, handcuffed and blindfolded, and Russian soldiers trained their automatic rifles on them as they rode back to Senaki.

The Russians also confiscated five jeeps and an armored Humvee belonging to the U.S. armed forces, according to Alan Middleton, CEO of Poti Sea Port Corp. He said the equipment was used for joint U.S.-Georgian military exercises and was sitting in the Poti container terminal ready to be shipped back to a U.S. base in Europe.

The U.S. financial crisis has cut so deep – and the government has taken on so much debt in misguided attempts to bail out such companies as Fannie Mae ( FNM ) and Freddie Mac ( FRE ) – that even larger financial shocks are still to come, global investing guru Jim Rogers said in an exclusive interview with Money Morning .

Indeed, the U.S. financial debacle is now so ingrained – and a so-called “Super Crash” so likely – that most Americans alive today won’t be around by the time the last of this credit-market mess is finally cleared away – if it ever is, Rogers said.

“This is more like being under communist reign, instead of being in a free country and being able to choose where you want to go, when you want to go, and not be monitored at all times,” said a NYC man interviewed by the BBC. “I don’t think it’s right.”

“I mean, if you don’t have anything to worry about, you won’t worry,” argued another interviewee. “Now, if you’re trying to hide something and they scan your license plate, you have a problem then, there’s good reason.”



The Raw Story: Citizens’ U.S. Border Crossings Tracked

Citizens’ U.S. Border Crossings Tracked
“This database is, in a sense, worse than a watch list,” he said. “At least in the watch-list scenario, there’s some reason why the name got on the list. Here, the only thing a person does to come to the attention of DHS is to lawfully cross the border. The theory of this data collection is: Track everyone — just in case.”

Under the system, officials record name, birth date, gender, date and time of crossing, and a photo, where available, for U.S. travelers returning to the country by land, sea or air. The same information is gathered about foreign travelers, but it is held for 75 years.

DHS and other agencies are amassing more and more data that they subject to sophisticated analysis. A customs document issued last month stated that the agency does not perform data mining on border crossings to glean relationships and patterns that could signify a terrorist or law enforcement threat. But the Federal Register notice states that information may be shared with federal, state and local governments to test “new technology and systems designed to enhance border security or identify other violations of law.” And the Homeland Security Act establishing the department calls for the development of data-mining tools to further the department’s objectives.

“Once you have data in a database you don’t need, it lends itself to unauthorized use,” she said. “You have no idea of the data creep.”

Zavala, 22, says that when she and 50 other workers arrived at the meeting, an immigration official dressed in plainclothes said into a megaphone, “You belong to ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).” Several officers then checked each worker’s identification, releasing those with proof of U.S. citizenship and searching those remaining. Men were handcuffed and escorted into a police truck, while women, including Zavala, were arrested and fitted with ankle bracelets. “It was horrible,” Zavala said through a translator. “As they were searching me all I could think about is my [4-month-old] baby. I don’t understand because we are not criminals, only workers.”

I can’t stand cops. There are no “good cops” because all police officers enforce the tyrannical laws of our rulers. Early this morning I was returning home and was stopped by a cop during a “safety check” in one of the safest areas of Washington, DC. I asked the supervising officer, “To whom can I write to complain about this?” His reply was the chief of police. He said that he and his fellow officers don’t like doing this, but this is the job: enforcing idiotic laws (no, he didn’t say that last phrase, but that’s what I inferred from his answer). And I should respect these people? Please!

“The standard of living of the average American has to decline…”

- Paul Volcker, Chairman of The Federal Reserve, New York Times, 18 October

1979

‘Money is power’. Well, to be precise, it’s the gap between the rich and poor

that counts. The objective of the elite is to maintain the capitalist structure as it

is with one vital difference. There will be no middle class in the New World Order.

Under public-private partnership, the middle class, free markets, and consumer

choice will be replaced with a neo-feudal society in which the Money Trust

dictates to an impoverished populace through a supranational technocracy.

August 19th, 2008

Voices - If We Could Speak to the People, What Would We Say?
Our leaders are about to allow the economic collapse of the United States, without telling you beforehand, or helping American citizens to make emergency preparations.

Their solution to the problem is to seize control of the post-collapse world militarily, eliminating everyone who gets in the way. This military solution accepts a very large loss of human lives as necessary “collateral damage” to the brave plan to take control of the world. When the American people are overwhelmed by the economic catastrophe, they will hardly notice large planned population reductions.

All of this is an acceptable solution to our government. For those who try to protest after the “hammer goes down,” there are hundreds of detention camps, capable of holding thousands of dissidents, waiting to accept your silent screams.

But until we get to that point of no return, steps are being taken to reduce and eventually eliminate all protests to governmental violence. The Constitution is being reduced piecemeal to a powerless piece of paper. The courts are bowing down to executive decrees.

Government May Have Massive Surveillance Program for Use in “National Emergency” « Ignorance Is Futile!
According to a senior government official…”There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.” … One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.
