BlackListed News: Official US policy: kill American citizens when President/Fuhrer declares them “terrorists”

I had previously reported that US citizens are being tortured by our own government when the executive branch says the magic word: “terrorist.” Under the 2006 Military Commissions Act (MCA), such Americans can be detained forever without legal right of habeas corpus. If those Americans are brought to trial rather than detained and tortured at [...]

Rense: They Don’t Own Shovels, Crowbars Or Even Gloves!

Any cursory examination of America reveals we should be re-building infrastructures, rather than destroying foreign ones, and letting our own infrastructure fall into ruin.

bison survival blog: die now or later

As I keep reminding you, the immediate future offers you one of two choices. The first is to die now because you didn’t take basic precautions.

Preppernation: Why do we prep?

Why are we prepping, in light of how we are seen by society? Often our families think we’re crazy and our friends are either preppers themselves or they avoid certain subjects like the plague… Actually they wouldn’t even mention a “Plague” because then they would have to listen as we explain to them that that [...]

Preppernation: What’s in YOUR gun cabinet? part 1

I don’t know about anyone else but now that we’ve heard from our commander-in-chief about the state of our union… I feel better! Cancel all your plans for taking care of yourselves, it just won’t be necessary! All systems go, just get out and resume irresponsible spending!

Survival Blog: Two Letters Re: A Simple Off-the-Shelf Solar Power System and Off-Grid Power Tools – SurvivalBlog.com

Just wanted to chip in some advice on Ryobi batteries: Of the name brand cordless tools, Ryobi seems to have the worst NiCd battery quality. When used carefully, they will work well for a couple of years. If pressed hard, they will die a much earlier death. I have found that some packs will have [...]
