ATCHISON, Kan. — After most of the world’s population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.

That’s the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world’s largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.   Continue reading “Vivos Survival Shelter: Robert Vicino Says Kansas Caves Could Save Human Race After Apocalypse”

Each day, growing crowds of young, college-educated Brazilians are taking to the urban streets. Their grievances seem disparate and unrelated, which leaves the question of why and what they are protesting.

The marches began as modest affairs in opposition to a nominal increase in the public-bus fare. But the higher rate has since been rescinded and the protests keep growing, so perhaps that was never really the reason so many people joined the rallies in the first place.   Continue reading “Brazil Riots Against Its Middle-Class Illusion”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — As the West battles one catastrophic wildfire after another, the federal government is spending less and less on its main program for preventing blazes in the first place.

A combination of government austerity and the ballooning cost of battling the ruinous fires has taken a bite out of federal efforts to remove the dead trees and flammable underbrush that clog Western forests. The U.S. Forest Service says that next year it expects to treat 1 million fewer acres than it did last year.   Continue reading “As fires rage, feds cut funding on prevention”

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Imagine the scenario: A federal agent attempts to arrest someone for illegally selling a machine gun. Instead, the federal agent is arrested — charged in a state court with the crime of enforcing federal gun laws.

Farfetched? Not as much as you might think.   Continue reading “Gun laws: Federal nullification efforts mounting in states”

Yesterday, a small group of supporters congregated in Concord, New Hampshire to support Mayor Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. They read off a list of people “killed by guns” while standing before their “No More Names” bus.

In the rush to demonize gun owners, the New Hampshire Union Leader chose to focus on one “gun rights supporter” arrested when he “placed his hand on an officer.” If this man indeed assaulted somebody, that’s a criminal act, and all reasonable people will condemn it. However, a much more interesting assault occurred that received no coverage: the Mayors Against Illegal Guns consider self-defense to be “gun violence.”   Continue reading “Bloomberg’s Real Agenda: Self-Defense is ‘Gun Violence’”

A preliminary analysis of the list of shooting “victims” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s group Mayors Against Illegal Guns is reading at rallies for new gun control laws finds that one in 12 are crime suspects killed by police or armed citizens acting in self-defense.

The review of 617 killings found that 50 were suspects in crimes ranging from assault to murder, not the type of violence Bloomberg’s group suggests in its “No More Names” campaign to draw attention to the estimated 6,000 gun death “tragedies” since the mid-December Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newton, Conn.   Continue reading “1 in 12 on Bloomberg’s gun victims list are crime suspects”

Within hours of yesterday’s announcement that Washington State gun rights leaders weremounting a defense against a big-money gun control initiative launched last week, the well-funded Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (WAGR) was crying foul in a blanket e-mail appealing for more money to pad its $1 million-plus war chest.

In the process, to the amusement of local rights advocates, the e-mail demonized and blamed the National Rifle Association for the counter-attack, and so far, the NRA hasn’t uttered a peep publicly about the initiative, nor has it announced any financial backing.   Continue reading “Gun control Goliath cries foul as David fights back”
