The Organic Prepper

You can have enough food to ride out 15 years of Armageddon. You can have a fully stocked retreat or a bunker. You can have so much ammo stashed that your floorboards are groaning.  You may have followed your favorite preparedness book’s guidelines to the letter, and thus have all of the physical aspects of survival in place.

But regardless of this, you may not be fully prepared.   Continue reading “How to Survive Anything in 3 Easy Steps”

Lincoln, Neb. (CBS ST. LOUIS) – Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers made a series of controversial comments regarding police officers, saying that if he carried a gun he’d shoot an officer first and ask questions later.

An audio recording from KFOR 1240 uncovered Chambers, who represents North Omaha’s 11th District and is the state’s only African-American senator, comparing law enforcement to Islamic State militants and saying he’d shoot a cop if he owned a weapon.   Continue reading “Nebraska State Senator Says He’d Shoot A Cop ‘And Then Ask Questions Later’”

The jig is up. One of the state’s oldest scams for generating revenue is issuing “traffic tickets” for non-crimes like “speeding” under the guise doing so keeps the road safer (of course, this is a total lie), yet for a multitude of reasons ticket revenue is plummeting across America. While Hillary Clinton called for speed limits across the U.S. to be lowered to 55 mph a few years back, a number which coincidentally maximizes revenue, states have gone the other way, raising average speed limits to around 70, and in states like Texas the limit is as high as 85. Did all this new “speeding” translate to more dangerous roads? No, in fact it’s the opposite, the roads are safer than ever, and just as important, you’re less likely to be extorted by road pirates.    Continue reading “Bureaucrats Panic As Traffic Ticket Revenue Plummets Across U.S.”

Owego, NY– Steven and Cindy Dunlap of Owego, NY, were expecting a normal evening as Steven Dunlap left his home for his weekly pizza night with his friends on February 11. Unfortunately, their normal evening became a nightmare when the police decided that the traffic at their home from the elderly woman’s quilting business was indicative of a meth lab.

Cindy Dunlap says she no longer feels safe in her own home. She believes her reputation has been tarnished since the day her husband was pulled out of his car and arrested at gunpoint by six officers last month.  As Steven was taken into custody he repeatedly asked why he was being arrested; the officers would not provide any answers.   Continue reading “Cops Raid Elderly Couple Looking For A Meth Lab and Guns- Find Only Quilting Supplies”

What happens when a dynamic company, started by a couple of idealistic friends in grad school, succeeds so wildly that it becomes a mega-corporation that pervades the lives of hundreds of millions? In imperial America, it would seem, it eventually becomes corrupted, even captured. Tragically, that seems to be the unfolding story of Google.

By being the first dot-com to really get the search engine right, Google unlocked the nascent power of the internet, greatly liberating the individual. It is easy to take for granted and forget how revolutionary the advent of “Just Google it” was for the life of the mind. Suddenly, specific, useful knowledge could be had on most any topic in seconds with just a quick flurry of fingers on a keyboard.

This was a tremendous boost for alternative voices on the internet. It made it extremely easy to bypass the establishment gatekeepers of ideas and information. For example, I remember in the mid-2000s using Google to satisfy my curiosity about this “libertarianism” thing I had heard about, since the newspapers and magazines I was reading were quite useless for this purpose. In 2007, by then an avid libertarian, I remember walking through the campus of my former school UC Berkeley, seeing “Google Ron Paul” written in chalk on the ground, and rejoicing to think that hundreds of Cal students were doing just that. A big part of why today’s anti-war movement is more than a handful of Code Pink types, and the libertarian movement is more than a handful of zine subscribers, is that millions “Googled Ron Paul.”

A major study of men’s sperm found that those who ate regular quantities of fruit and vegetables that had pesticide residue on them had half the sperm count of men who ate less, a new study showed.

The Harvard University study, the first of its kind on the issue, analyzed sperm samples from 155 men who attended a fertility clinic during 2007-2012, Reuters reported. The men involved were attending a fertility clinic because they and their partners were unable to conceive, and were asked about the food they ate, including how often they ate fruit and vegetables like apples, avocados or cantaloupe.   Continue reading “Pesticides on fruits and vegetables could account for 49 percent loss in sperm”

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Saudi-led airstrikes pounded Yemen’s Shiite rebels for the sixth day Tuesday, destroying missiles and weapons depots controlled by the rebels as international aid organizations expressed alarm over the high civilian casualties from the strikes and the violence roiling the country.

The airstrikes’ campaign by Sunni Arab states, which began last Thursday, is meant to halt the advance by the Shiite rebels known as Houthis who have overrun the country with the help of the deposed president’s loyalists and forced Yemen’s current president to flee abroad.   Continue reading “UN, Red Cross alarmed over Yemen casualties in airstrikes”

I have to admit it. I totally bought his whole, “I was injured exercising” excuse before. But his face is still jacked up. And his vision is all wacked out. And he freaking had to wear sunglasses on the Senate floor. And he did all that damage with an “elastic exercise band.”

Mmmmkay.
