This is what Hornady has to say about their 308 Win 168 gr A-MAX. (Side Bar)”The Sierra Match King 168 is a hollow point boat tail bullet. This sniper round does not act like a normal hollow point bullet. In fact Sierra advises they not be used for hunting as they do not mushroom like normal hollow points. SMK 168 HPBT are good for nailing a target behind heavy glass”. Continue reading “Avid Long-Range Shooting Enthusiast Addresses the Rounds that the Border Patrol is Seeking”

Off the Grid News – by Daniel Jennings
A failure of the power grid left 70 percent of the nation of Venezuela without electricity in early September.
Venezuela was the world’s eighth-largest net oil exporter in 2010, and, the same year, had the second-largest natural gas reserves in the Western Hemisphere. Continue reading “Power Grid Failure Leaves 70 Percent Of Venezuela In The Dark”

We’ve all been hearing stories of weapons that could send out an impulse or signal that would destroy electronic equipment without destroying buildings or injuring people (unless they are connected to electrically operated lifesaving equipment or have a pacemaker). Once thought to be the subject of science fiction, they are in fact real and have been successfully tested. Continue reading “Military Test Of Microwave Weapon Successfully Knocks Out Electronics”
WEB Notes: More diversions, more confusion, more babel. What do you expect? We have stated over and over again the end times deception is working in over drive. First it looks like WWIII is imminent and then it backs off. Politicians make one statement only for it to be contradicted in the next sentence. One of our commenter’s called it the “Confusion Matrix“. In the meantime we have sites across the Internet buzzing with hype of imminent world war. This is creating an atmosphere where those who are awake are being worn down and desensitized by it. We all need to turn to God’s Word where we can find real truth. God has laid it all out for us, what will happen in Syria and Iran. In addition we have written about it over and over again. It is written Damascus will fall and it shall (Isaiah 17:1). Iran will be broken shortly after (Daniel 8). Continue reading “Prime Time Speech: Obama Calls off Congress on Syrian Attack Vote, Earliest Strike Mid-October”

Back in 2000, men from Chesapeake Energy (CHK) started showing up on people’s doorsteps around Broome County, New York, a few miles north of the Pennsylvania border. Once a hub of manufacturing and technology jobs (IBM (IBM) was founded there), Broome had long since peaked by the year 2000 and was now on the same downward trajectory as other Rust Belt towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Strangers didn’t typically show up offering cash to lease the drilling rights for people’s land. Sure, Broome was right on top of the natural gas-rich Marcellus Shale, but only geologists really knew what that meant, and back then, no one had ever heard of fracking.

Bipartisan Policy Center says default could come unless Washington agrees new legislation to raise borrowing limit
The United States could default on its obligations as early as October 18 if Washington fails to agree on legislation to raise the government’s borrowing cap, a new study predicted Tuesday.
The Bipartisan Policy Center analysis says the default date would come no later than November 5, and that the government would quickly fall behind on its payments, including social security benefits and military pensions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is facing a crisis in how to deliver cancer care, as the baby boomers reach their tumor-prone years and doctors have a hard time keeping up with complex new treatments, government advisers reported Tuesday.
The caution comes even as scientists are learning more than ever about better ways to battle cancer, and developing innovative therapies to target tumors. And while doctors try to optimize treatment, the Institute of Medicine found “daunting” barriers to achieving high-quality care for all patients. Overcoming those challenges will require changes to the health care system, and savvier consumers. Continue reading “Report finds aging US faces crisis in cancer care”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The gulf between the richest 1 percent and the rest of America is the widest it’s been since the Roaring ’20s.
The very wealthiest Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country’s household income last year — their biggest share since 1928, the year before the stock market crash. And the top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings last year. Continue reading “Richest 1 percent earn biggest share since ’20s”

Three PLA Navy ships carrying hundreds of sailors arrived in Hawaii on Friday to join a search and rescue exercise with the US Navy during a rare visit intended to foster familiarity.
The guided missile destroyer Qingdao, a frigate and a supply ship were welcomed with performances by lion dancers and a children’s hula group. The ships carrying 680 officers and sailors will participate in the exercise tomorrow with the USS Lake Erie in waters off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The exercise was an important way for the two navies to share information about operations, so they do not misinterpret movements and potentially start a conflict, said Brad Glosserman, executive director of the Pacific Forum at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

I talked to Mark just a little while ago and he is finally feeling better. He is eating and up and moving around. He opened a closet and there were all the cards you people had been sending. He said the stack was about a foot thick and he was very happy that so many of you cared enough to send him a card.
I can’t give you a room number right now because Mark is once again in a transition phase. But I can tell you his condition is greatly improved and he is in the highest of spirits, asserting confidently that he will beat the cancer. Continue reading “Update on Mark Schumacher”
