WEB Notes: This further confirms there is no real intent at peace with Iran. This is merely a facade for the inhabitants of the world. One last attempt at peace which will ultimately fail and then the only “reasonable” solution will be war with Iran to make the world a “safe place” again. This has been the plan all along. God’s Word is coming to pass daily, get into His Word in order to understand the events taking place…

Northern Texas towns are experiencing an intense string of earthquakes – the last of which was one of the most powerful in 5 years. As unusual tremors have been going on for over 3 weeks now, many suspect fracking might be to blame.

Sadly, me or TheSurvivalistBlog.net was not mentioned in the news report, despite the fact that I am the main public proponent of the TN Plateau area for preppers living in the east and the reason for the growing interest in the area among preppers.   Continue reading “WBIR local news TV report – Survivalists deem TN Plateau prime prepper property”
