Prices at the pump have hit a record for this time of year and drivers are shelling out a lot more to fill up their cars.

Lamar Munnerlyn drives his own truck in New York City and said every time gas prices go up, his salary goes down.

“It’s really difficult. I’m losing money all the time,” Munnerlyn told CBS 2′s Dick Brennan. “We have family we gotta feed and everything like that. Gas prices going up every time you turn around.” Continue reading “New York Drivers Facing Sticker Shock At The Gas Station”

I was watching the Discovery Channel’s post-Apocalyptic show, The Colony-Season One, last night and was quite intrigued by the ‘Professor’s’ Spark Gap Transmitter project.  Both he and the lady who is a rocket scientist worked to complete both a transmitter and receiver from spare junk left behind in an 80,000-foot warehouse they now called home.

I began seeing the importance of such a completed project.   The transmitter immediately presented itself as a solution to communications needs for militias around the United States who might be able to communicate with one another by Morse code, if possible.  Such a transmitter would allow militia members to quickly switch stations using the old technology to avoid the bad guys from listening to their communications.

HELENA, Mont. — Lawmakers in at least 11 states are looking at plans to restrict the use of drones over their skies amid concerns the unmanned aerial vehicles could be exploited to spy on Americans.

Virginia is apparently for haters of the Federal Reserve: One state legislator wants the state to mint its own coins in case the US dollar collapses. It may sound pie-in-the-sky, but Virginia’s House of Delegates agreed yesterday to set up a $17,000 panel to explore the move, reports the Washington Post. The Virginian-Pilotsees the measure by Republican Bob Marshall as a “conservative shout-out,” but Marshall insists he’s serious. Continue reading “Virginia Wants to Mint Its Own Coins”

Look, I am 100% convinced if the powers-that-be declared Obama, ‘Supreme Dictator’ as early as tomorrow, our spineless Congress and pathetic GOP would roll-over and welcome the new overlord; not to mention the majority of MSM-raised Americans and weak-kneed Christians that default out-of-context to Romans 13 due to the softness of their trend-embracing ‘pastor’ and/or ‘church’.

Yes. The comments by the teacher were inappropriate considering his environment. But as Big Brother continues to provoke our nation’s anger while sending offenders to ‘diversity training’ or ‘sensitivity training’ (Room 101) as punishment, well perhaps this slice of humor will help preserve what little sanity remains.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — The “Washington State Preservation of Liberty Act” introduced on Wednesday condemns and criminalizes the use of the 2012 NDAA‘s provision purportedly authorizing the indefinite detainment of U.S. citizens.

After news of H.B. 1581’s introduction caught wind, an Internet campaign went viral asking activists to contact their Washington state representatives to co-sponsor the legislation. Continue reading “Washington State’s Anti-NDAA Bill Introduced with Viral Support”

Chicago is infamous for its mob-style governing mentality, and current Mayor Rahm Emanuel is doing what he can to carry on that tradition. Thwarted by a federal appeals court in December which ordered the state legislature to make concealed carry in Illinois happen within six months, Emanuel is attempting to backdoor the ruling by intimidating banks that do business with gun makers.

The nasty little cuss is pressuring two major financial institutions in particular – Bank of America and TD Bank – to back his push for a ban on firearms that resemble military rifles, as well as background checks for all gun purchases.

It’s been frequently posited that the US is slowly becoming a police state, what with the near-constant surveillance of citizens, the “Constitution-free” zone surrounding our borders, theendless hassles of attempting to board a plane, NYC’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” program, and the many security agencies that either were created or greatly expanded post-9/11.

I don’t pretend to be a Chris Kyle expert. I never even heard of him before this past weekend. I just know what I have recently read.

Apparently, the guy’s first kill in Iraq was a woman holding a baby in one hand, a grenade in the other. She obviously cares a lot about whatever she is standing up for. Obviously this is not some Al Queda that came in to fill the vacuum of the Sadam-less Iraq. This is an Iraqi woman, standing up to the invader.

GOA scores partial victory on Rules

Solicits horror stories from its members

Events have been moving so fast and furiously (no pun intended) that we have not had an opportunity to give you an update on the rules fight — or to solicit your help in connection with a pivotal ongoing battle. Continue reading “GOA Update on Two Battles”

Patriotic Americans need to start saving all glass bottles.  The uses of glass bottles go beyond the abilities of patriots to be creative!  The bottles work well for: guarding candle flames, wine and beer making, sterile water creation and storage, as candles, for holding medicine, carrying fuel for camping stoves, and as mixing receptacles for making all types of cocktails.  DO NOT discard glass bottles of any size as garbage.

 

I read an article today posted to Henry Shivley’s website regarding a patriot who is contemplating the awful thought of having to go to war and the real possibility of protecting his family before himself.

In the article he mentioned removing himself from his home in case the feds might decide to kick his door down in the middle of the night to drag him away to a FEMA camp.  He would decide to not shoot back due to the possibility of his wife and kids being harmed by bullets fired by the invaders.  In effect, he would surrender himself or fall on his sword to protect others.  I applaud this man’s chivalry and desire to protect his wife and offspring first.  Yes, he would be making a wise decision to avoid carnage for those he loves.

Uncommon Dreams – by Carley L. Biron

The research wing of the U.S. Congress is warning that three decades of “historically unprecedented” build-up in the number of prisoners incarcerated in the United States have led to a level of overcrowding that is now “taking a toll on the infrastructure” of the federal prison system.

Over the past 30 years, according to a new report by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the federal prison population has jumped from 25,000 to 219,000 inmates, an increase of nearly 790 percent. Swollen by such figures, for years the United States has incarcerated far more people than any other country, today imprisoning some 716 people out of every 100,000. (Although CRS reports are not made public, a copy can be found here.) Continue reading “US Prison Population Seeing ‘Unprecedented Increase’”

Human rights advocates were floored on Monday night when NBC News published the details of an alarming Justice Department memo detailing the protocol for sending drones after United States citizens. It’s not as if they hadn’t suspected that the Obama administration’s top secret drone attack protocol contained some unsavory details. They just didn’t expect them to be so frightfully broad. The scoop by Michael Isikoff is actually startling not for the details but rather for the lack of details. It’s very vague about a decision-making process that puts American lives on the line. Put simply, the government believes that a lethal drone attack against an American citizen is justified if the targets are a) “senior operational leaders” of al-Qaeda or b) “an associated force.” Continue reading “Take a Rare Look at How Obama Decides to Send Drones to Kill Americans”

The Organic Prepper 

I’m genuinely curious about something.

Why is it socially unacceptable to generalize about certain groups of people, while it’s open season on others?

Why are some beliefs, religions and lifestyles protected by media watchdogs and special interest groups, while others are considered threatening and are openly vilified? Continue reading “Jimmy Lee Dykes: The Media’s New Poster Child for Those Crazy Preppers”

On July 27, 2012, negotiations on the United Nations Small Arms Treaty fell apart with member nations placing the blame for the failure directly upon the United States, with US Senators stating that the treaty would lead to new gun restrictions in the United States which would be constitutionally unacceptable, including but not limited to registration of ammunition, which at the time, just seven months ago, was considered to be impossible.

Interestingly, just prior to this get together, on July 20, 2012, we had the false flag in Aurora, Colorado, with a propaganda campaign coming out of it centering on online purchases of ammunition, AR-15s, and large capacity clips.   Of course we all know we the people saw Aurora for what it was and began purchasing guns and ammunition double time.
