Recent works such as What you’ll see in the rebellion and Something funny happened on the way to the tyranny have brought many fresh new eyes to this outpost on the Internet. We are a nation on the cusp of repeating history. Anyone familiar with an accurate telling of the political truths leading up to

Talking guns with Glenn Reynolds
Glenn had me on InstaVision to talk about the progressive calls for gun control. I completely whiffed on a chance to plug my related eBook. I need to fire my publicist, right after I fire my stylist, makeup artist, and yogi. Update: Now on Youtube as well.

At great personal cost, the Founding Father purchased a precious gift for us. They risked their lives, their homes, and their reputations and endured becoming traitors. They did so in order to throw off the chains of monarchy in order to preserve the freedoms given by God, which should never be constrained by man. After

Garrison: If they come for your guns, do you have a responsibility to fight?
Blogger Dean Garrison provides a well-reasoned and impassioned argument for defending the liberty of this Republic with all necessary lethal force against those who would undermine both the Constitution and natural rights. We are a constitutional republic, not a democracy, and we do not bow to mob rule, even if the mob are wearing $1,000
What you’ll see in the rebellion: A nation of Sarajevos
When I wrote What you’ll seen in the rebellion, I had no idea how widely read an article warning of the dangers of second Revolutionary War could become. It has been “shared” thousands of times in social media, and new readers and comments are pouring in constantly. Since the time it was written, state legislators

Fix Is On- There Wasn’t An AR-15 Involved in Sandy Hook?
So it turns out the asshat who shot all those kids in Connecticut did not have a Bushmaster AR-15 with him at all. This fear driven propaganda is just an excuse to push a totalitiarian socialist progressive agenda to disarm law abiding Americans.
Stuff From The Web: It’s About Controlling People Not Guns
Turns out that hammers and clubs kill more people than rifles in the US. We do not have to imagine a world without guns. Humanity already lived through it during the middle ages.
How to Survive a Gut Infection Without Medical Assistance
After a disaster, such as we saw with Hurricane Sandy, one of the number one threats to survival is infection. Especially a gut infection. The most common way survivors become infected with deadly intestinal bacteria is by drinking non-potable water. Gaining access to clean water after a disaster is rarely as simple as turning on your kitchen faucet. First of all, you may might not even have a kitchen left. Secondly, even if water is coming out of the tap, it could easily be contaminated by a sewage leaking. In most cases, however, city water will not be available at all. If the electrical grid is down that often …
Can You Really Live Off Beans in a Survival Situation?
A classic survival item preppers like to stockpile are legumes (especially beans). Inexpensive, nourishing, and easy to store. But are beans easy to cook? How about easy to digest? “I’d rather be shot than live off beans,” says John C. A. Manley, a prepper I interviewed in last month’s Survival Joe Mastermind Club meeting. “I love the taste of beans. They fill me up. But boy are most beans both hard to cook and even harder digest.” If you’re stocking your pantry full of dried kidney beans, you may want to test them out first. As Manley pointed out in our interview, beans often require soaking overnight. And then you still need to slow cook them for…
What Another 4 Years of Obama Means
Note: Before you read this, I want you to know that I did not vote for Obama or Romney. This is not a partisan message, only observations about what has happened and speculation about what might happen in the months ahead. The day after Obama was reelected, the stock market fell 313 points. The second day after, the market fell 121 points. That’s a 434-point drop in two-days’ time. And it reflects the market’s anticipation that things are going to get worse during Obama’s second term. During a president’s second term, he can pursue whatever policies he wants because he no longer fears losing reelection. So during Obama’s second term, we ought to expect…
Beware of “Dirty” Power
Hurricane Sandy really did a number on the East Coast. I’ve been reading firsthand reports as I find them or as they are sent to me. Bob Bly sent me one that I thought was especially interesting. He sent this update yesterday, November 5, 2012. For background, Bob is a freelance copywriter like me. He lives in New Jersey. After Sandy hit, he was without electricity for a full week. Here’s how he handled it, mistakes he made, and some advice for you if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. ****** My most important advice to you This may be the most important…
Hurricane Sandy and Normalcy Bias
On Monday, October 29, Hurricane Sandy slammed into the east coast, wreaking havoc on the Jersey shore and New York City. Sandy lived up to expectations — and then some. In fact, it set a few records in the “hurricane” category. For example, CNN reports: When hurricane hunter aircraft measured its central pressure at 940 millibars — 27.76 inches — Monday afternoon, it was the lowest barometric reading ever recorded for an Atlantic storm to make landfall north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The previous record holder was the 1938 “Long Island Express” Hurricane, which dropped as low as 946 millibars. Sandy’s strength and angle of approach combined to produce a record storm surge of water into New York City. The surge level at Battery …
The Case for Silver
I have written about silver multiple times on this blog. Each time, I’ve covered a different aspect of this precious metal, but I haven’t put it all together in one big, in-depth article. Well, I’ve done that now. Except I didn’t publish the article on this blog. Instead, I published it as a “lens” on Squidoo. (If you’ve not heard of Squidoo before, it is simply a publishing platform that is module based — so you can easily add text, videos, and even Amazon books.) Anyway, if you are interested in silver as an…

Review of MRE from Meal Kit Supply
MRE from Meal Kit Supply All photos by Bernie Carr I received samples of MREs from Meal Kit Supply for review. I have tried other MREs in the past, so I have something to compare this. The package I tried was the Vegetarian Ratatouile. It included the following: heating unit, Vegetarian Ratatouille entrée, Au Gratin Potatoes side dish, cracker and cheese, strawberry banana shake, lemon lime beverage mix, condiments, and spoon. I set up the heating unit according to package directions. All you have to do is open it, and add about 1/2 cup of water to the bag, up to the line indicated. You then wrap the heating unit around the entree and side dish according to the photo illustration. It was …
Incredibly Simple and Cheap Emergency Lamp
It’s been a couple of months since my last homemade lamp creation, and it continues to be a very popular post. I thought it’s about time to try making an even simpler one, with items that can be found in most homes. This lamp, as my previous one, was learned from reading Lanterns, Lamps & Candles by Ron Brown, which contains a wealth of information about emergency lighting. The items needed for this lamp are super easy to find: Cotton ball or cotton puff Glass container – I used a clear candle holder from Goodwill, but you can use a cereal bowl or even a …
Tempting Pumpkin and Cranberry Recipes
By Kellene Bishop You’re likely to curse me after you make these fabulous recipes. Oh, just thinking about them makes me drool and in the mood to bake all over again! The tasting guinea pigs claim that even those who didn’t like pumpkin enjoyed this and even those who don’t care for cranberries enjoyed this.
The REAL Reality
By Kellene Bishop In outlining the Ten Principles of Preparedness, I’ve lightly addressed the first Principle, that of Spiritual Preparedness. While I make no secret or apology of the fact that this is a website based on Christian fundamentals, I rarely take on the topic of strengthening our Spiritual Preparedness in this forum; I guess
