Keep your cool and survive being mentally prepared for disasterUS Crow

You will never face an environment like that of a battlefield, and when the shit hits the fan you better be mentally prepared to survive any disaster.  Whether your group is under heavy enemy fire or just trying to survive in a barren wasteland – lives are at risk.  Any survival situation will seriously test your will to live.

Post incident survival situations involving combat will subject you to intense physical, mental and spiritual stress.  Those unwilling to fight will not survive.  You must be mentally prepared to take a life to protect you and yours. We all hope for the best out of humanity.  When you take into account over 3 million crimes were committed during 2012 in the presence of a militarized police force – it might be time to start planning for the worse.   Continue reading “Keep your cool and survive disaster with mental preparedness”

Disable MRAP Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Light-Armored VehiclesUS Crow

As of 2013, constitutional Americans have witnessed an increase in hostile posturing by the federal government. These hostile actions were clearly outlined by the CMF Website Administrator in the article ‘The American Government continues to target Preppers’. One of the most notable actions outlined in this article was the purchase of 2,700 MRAP Light Armored Vehicles by the Department of Homeland Security. A purchase warranted as unnecessary and irrational by seasoned military and police personnel. This single purchase of MRAPs is understandably unnerving for those in the survival community.   Continue reading “How to disable MRAP Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Light Armored Vehicles”

The U.S. government’s plan to give away authority over the Internet’s core architecture to the “global Internet community” could endanger the security of both the Internet and the U.S. — and open the door to a global tax on Web use.

“U.S. management of the internet has been exemplary and there is no reason to give this away — especially in return for nothing,” former Bush administration State Department senior advisor Christian Whiton told The Daily Caller. “This is the Obama equivalent of Carter’s decision to give away the Panama Canal — only with possibly much worse consequences.”   Continue reading “Ex-Bush admin official: Internet giveaway weakens cybersecurity, opens door to Web tax”

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

Back in December, Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ruled to grant attorney Orly Taitz “an opportunity to file a second amended complaint and add allegations of SSA not doing a proper search and withholding records” in the Obama Social Security fraud case. In that report, I indicated that there should be news on that case in mid-January. However, things had not progressed as planned and part of the problem was an error by the court, which has now been corrected.   Continue reading “Obama Social Security Number Fraud Case Awaits Judge’s Decision”

The best protest video is the one that people watch and that motivates them to action. I am watching this for the fourth time now and will watch it again and again. For many of us in the West it was a long and lonely struggle against the Israeli attempt to occupy the world. But now we are being joined daily by millions of people from all over the planet.

Please watch this video. Please make it go viral. Please join in the struggle against Israeli occupation of Palestine, of America, of Canada, of Great Britain, of Europe, of Africa and every nation whose government slavishly follows the Dictates of Wall Street and the City of London.   Continue reading “The Best Anti-Apartheid BDS Video: Bricks From the Wall”

MEDFORD, Mass. (AP) – Colleges are paying students to take a year off after high school to travel, volunteer or do internships so that students of all income brackets can benefit from “gap years.”

A new program at Tufts University and existing ones at a handful of other schools aim to remove the financial barriers that can keep cash-strapped students from exploring different communities and challenge their comfort zones before jumping right into college.   Continue reading “Colleges offer to pay students to take year off”

United Nations (United States) (AFP) – Russia vetoed a Western-backed resolution condemning the Crimea referendum at a UN Security Council emergency vote Saturday but China abstained, isolating Moscow further on the Ukraine crisis.

The draft resolution, which says Sunday’s referendum would have no validity, got 13 votes in the 15-member council. But it was rejected when permanent member Russia exercised its veto.   Continue reading “UN resolution on Crimea: Russia vetoes, China abstains”

Obama SignRon Paul Institute – by Daniel McAdams

Do you, like 56 percent of the US population, believe that the US should “not get too involved” in the Ukraine situation? Do you think that the US administration putting us on a war footing with Russia is a bad idea? Are you concerned that the new, US-backed leaders of Ukraine — not being elected — might lack democratic legitimacy? Are you tempted to speak out against US policy in Ukraine; are you tempted to criticize the new Ukrainian regime?   Continue reading “Against Ukraine War? Obama May Seize Your Assets”

Russia shuts down internet sites - Tech Eye

Garry Kasparov’s web site  is being banned from being accessed in Russia along with other web sites that Vladimir Putin doesn’t admire.

That’s according to Reuters, which  said a new piece of draconian legislation allows the government to prevent access to web sites it doesn’t care for.   Continue reading “Russia shuts down internet sites”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

With a day left until the critical, if widely expected, results from the Crimean referendum are revealed, it is worth recalling the main footnote in last night’s State Department travel alert for Russia: “all U.S. citizens located in or considering travel to the border region, specifically the regions bordering Ukraine in Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts and Krasnodar Krai, should be aware of the potential for escalation of tensions, military clashes (either accidental or intentional).” See, for the purpose of a military provocation, “accidental” will do. It is therefore not surprising to see that moments ago all major news wires blasted the following headline, quoting the Ukraine ministry of defense:   Continue reading “Ukraine Says It Has Repelled A Russian Army Attempt To Enter Region Adjacent To Crimea”

The US had 875,000 people in its terrorist watchlist system as of December 2012. Those secretly blacklisted have no real path to challenge their status, states a new report, thus indefinitely restricting those listed from travel or simply getting a job.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans and foreigners languish in the watchlist system, considered“known or suspected terrorists” based on secret rules and evidence that are basically impenetrable should the average suspect attempt to contest them, says a new report by the ACLU that highlights these challenges.   Continue reading “875,000 left in bureaucratic black hole that is US terror watchlist system”
