This kit has been positively associated with the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. However, the notorious Ernst Blomberg strikes again, although this kit is believed to be a bit older than most of them.

Most importantly, this is the only kit I am aware of that has undergone some scientific testing for authenticity of age (see below) yielding a mixture of results.   Continue reading “Mercer Museum Vampire Killing Kit”

IT’S alive! Well, almost. The first “biological drone”, an autonomous vehicle stitched together largely with materials from living things, made its inaugural flight earlier this month.

Drones have proved invaluable for those who want to explore remote locations, from storm-chasers to the military. But a crash in such a location can not only blot a sensitive environmentMovie Camera, it also lets everyone know that you’ve been spying. A bio-drone could potentially avoid that by degrading away in a puddle of inconspicuous goo.   Continue reading “Bio-drone simply melts away when it crashes”

Medical experts are saying that the biggest flaw of Big Pharma today is a high percentage of ineffective products being sold without previous clinical trials. This is particularly true when anti-cancer medications are concerned.The sad fact is that Big Pharma prefers to invest in advertising and bribing officials instead of attempting to make their products truly effective. Today pharmaceutical manufacturing is handsomely funded by politicians and organized crime, since it’s has become one of the most efficient money laundering schemes and has already corrupted a large number of US and EU officials.   Continue reading “Big Pharma Sells Ineffective, Potentially Deadly Anti-cancer Drugs”

The number released as being an estimate of breadth of the illegal alien amnesty of 4.5 million new economic competitors failed to take into account the law’s inadequate vetting process. They are deliberately understating the numbers and with it the damage done in hopes of reducing the negative backlash from the American people and the accompanying resistance to their scheme.

As Senator Jeff Sessions said in an interview on Fox shortly after the figures were released, whatever information is provided by the applicant will simply be accepted as truth. There will be no verification.   Continue reading “Virtually All Illegals Included In Amnesty – Democrats Can Make These Definitions Fit Every Illegal Alien”

It’s completely legal for high-profile Federal officials to spend public funds to do private things, thanks to a convoluted system of rules governing spending and reimbursement for air travel expenses.

Attorney General Eric Holder, for example, flew himself, his daughters, his daughters’ boyfriends and two guards to the Belmont Stakes in June – a trip that cost $14,440 in public funds. But since he is legally obligated only to pay the reimbursement equivalent of what that trip would have cost on a commercial air service, he repaid the government $955.   Continue reading “Eric Holder Spends $14,000 In Public Funds To Fly His Kids Around In A Government Plane; Pays Only $1,000 In Reimbursement”

Cold temperatures and snow across the Great Lakes in November is certainly nothing out of the ordinary, but this morning, a layer of ice was visible on parts of Lake Superior in Ashland, Wis.

While this may not seem unusual given the current stretch of unseasonably cold temperatures, it is actually several weeks earlier than normal.   Continue reading “Ice Visible on Lake Superior Weeks Ahead of Schedule”

There is no question as to whether or not veterans are more prepared than average civilians in situations where the ability to think on your feet is necessary. In this video, the home invader quickly received the message loud and clear, but it was too late for him to retreat.

According to LiveLeak, the veteran had been prepared for the invader, since his neighbor spotted him breaking in the same home earlier in the week. As anyone wanting to spring a trap might do, he “installed motion sensors and door chimes,” and waited for the inevitable return of the individual.   Continue reading “Intruder Given Dose of Instant Karma for Invading Veteran’s Home”

A St. Louis County town that neighbors Ferguson, Missouri, is warning residents to prepare for potential unrest that may follow the grand jury announcement in the Michael Brown case.

Berkeley officials passed out flyers this week urging its 9,000 residents to be prepared just as they would in the event of a major storm, with plenty of food, water and medicine on hand in case they’re unable to leave home for several days.   Continue reading “Residents of Town Near Ferguson Warned: Be Ready”

How Marijuana Really Affects the BrainYahoo News

Although there’s a lot of buzz about marijuana being nonaddictive, the evidence is stacking up that people can — and do — become dependent on the drug. A study released earlier this year, for example, found that 40 percent of marijuana users in an outpatient treatment program showed signs of withdrawal, a classic indicator of addiction. Now, new research in the journal PNAS sheds light on how lighting up changes the brain — and potentially primes people for withdrawal.    Continue reading “How marijuana really affects the brain”

Shocking revelations from “records and interviews” reveal at least 40 federal agencies are using undercover officers to infiltrate everyday scenarios including having them pose “as business people, welfare recipients, political protesters and even doctors or ministers to ferret out wrongdoing,” according to a New York Times report.

The headline is not a mistake. Yes, you can still go to the ATM and withdraw funds. You can take small amounts of cash out of the bank without the IRS seizing everything you own. However, because of new rules that went into effect this morning, your bank deposits have no insurance and it is a matter of time until they are stolen right from under your nose.   Continue reading “The Money In Your Bank Account Was Stolen This Morning!”

Eva Shockey is a skilled hunter whose love for the sport came from her famous outdoorsman father Jim, who is the man behind “Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures” and “Uncharted.” The two set off on a hunting trip to North Carolina Friday, which resulted in bagging two massive black bears, each weighing over 500 lbs. Jim was responsible for one while Eva killed the second.   Continue reading “This Woman Has An EPIC Response For Those That Sent Her Death Threats”

Director Jessica Solce’s new documentary, No Control, premieres November 15 and carries a clear message: “There [are] limits to every right… articulated in the Constitution,” and gun rights should be no exception.

And while the Huffington Post claims No Control offers a balanced look at the pro-Second Amendment versus gun control debate–“giving voice to advocates from both sides”–the documentary’s trailer makes clear that “gun violence is a public health issue” and this, of course, sets up guns and gun ownership as issues to be dealt with in the same way as swine flu, bird flu, chicken pox, or Ebola. It opens the door for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other groups to infringe on Second Amendment rights via agency-issued orders that bypass Congress and the people at large.   Continue reading “Gun Control Documentary: There Are ‘Limits To Every Right Articulated In The Constitution’”

Last March, I came across a letter written to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney from a paralyzed and dying Iraq war vet named Tomas Young. It touched me to such an extent, that I highlighted it on Liberty Blitzkrieg at the time. He died on Monday, the day before Veterans Day. If you really want to honor our nation’s soldiers, you should read the following and share it.

RIP Tomas Young.   Continue reading “Paralyzed Iraq War Veteran’s Writes Last Words To Bush & Cheney”
