The Psychology of SurvivalThe Organic Prepper

In a worst-case scenario, hesitation kills.

No one wants to accept that something horrible has happened.  The human brain is configured in a way that it is in our very nature to deny that something outside our normal paradigm has occurred. This is called cognitive dissonance.

 “Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions… Continue reading “He Who Hesitates is Lost: The Psychology of Survival”

One Nation Under SurveillanceWorld Events and the Bible

(Source: Activist Post) – While NSA surveillance has been front and center in the news recently, fusion centers are a part of the surveillance state that deserve close scrutiny.

Fusion centers are a local arm of the so-called “intelligence community,” the 17 intelligence agencies coordinated by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). The government documentation around fusion centers is entirely focused on breaking down barriers between the various government agencies that collect and maintain criminal intelligence information.   Continue reading “Fusion Centers: A Dangerous Part of the Surveillance State”

Mental Floss – by Nick Greene

Our institutions of higher education are finally teaching students things they’ll actually need in the real world. This summer, Michigan State University will once again offer a course called “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Disasters, Catastrophes, and Human Behavior.”

According to its Facebook page, the online course “uses the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse to attract attention to the important topic and research on ‘Catastrophes and Human Behavior.'” Students will “learn about the nature, scope and impact of catastrophic events,” and will be “assigned into Survivor Groups located throughout the United States and must face the challenges of living and surviving together during a catastrophic event.”   Continue reading “Michigan State Offers a Course on How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse”

WASHINGTON, Iowa. – The police chief has yet to mount flashing lights and a siren and plaster his department’s official logo on the sides of his new vehicle.

Not that Greg Goodman needs such window dressings so that this 49,000-pound, 10-foot-tall, six-wheel-drive behemoth will cause necks to crane and local motorists to veer out of the way.   Continue reading “Heavy-duty military equipment given to police”

gmo grocery labeling 263x164 Don’t Fall for the President of the GMA’s GMO Labeling LieNatural Society – by Christina Sarich

Pamela Bailey, the president and CEO of the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association (GMA), wants you to trust the biggest chemical sales companies in the world to ‘label GMO at will, on their own terms’. Sounds just like how they want everything else done, including disclosure to the public of the substantial scientific evidence proving their suicide seeds contain real health hazards, and to bypass due process of law through the infiltration of Supreme Courts, our Congress, and the FDA.   Continue reading “Don’t Fall for the President of the GMA’s GMO Labeling Lie”

food fruit citrus cancer 263x164 Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) Keeps Cancer from MetastasizingNatural Society – by Christina Sarich

While modified citrus pectin (MCP) cannot treat cancer once it begins, this natural substance that occurs in the pulp of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit, can keep cancer from metastasizing (spreading). MCP is a preventative medicine for cancer, not a curative one, but it has been proven to be very effective.

Modified citrus pectin should not be confused with the pectin that is sometimes used for cooking. MCP is in all citrus, but occurs in higher amounts in grapefruit. The active ingredients of MCP have been shown to suppress angiogenesis, the process by which cancer cells survive by obtaining blood through the blood vessels that each cell grows. Without a steady flow of blood, the cancer cell cannot survive, and apoptosis occurs.   Continue reading “Modified Citrus pectin (MCP) keeps Cancer from Metastasizing”

Fort Hood base commander Lieutenant General Milley speaks during a news conference at the entrance to the army base in TexasAll Voices – by tjlarson

The tragic shooting at Fort Hood last week has once again brought into focus the lethal combination of guns and mental illness, sparking renewed debate over how to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.

Spc, Ivan Lopez, 34, allegedly opened fire, killing three and wounding 16 others before fatally shooting himself at the Fort Hood army installation near Killeen, Texas, on Wednesday. Officials said Lopez was being treated for “behavioral and mental health issues” possibly stemming from a 2011 tour in Iraq.   Continue reading “Fort Hood shooting draws more attention to mental health issues, gun laws”

Restore the Republic – by Nick

They hunt in packs. They are not stealth. They come growling, snarling, and ready to tear into the prey.

They can run for miles, upon miles. If you can run twenty, they will run twenty-one. If you can go fifty, they will go fifty-one.

Their pursuit is endless. No prey can outlast them. They are the greatest hunters in the world as they are absolutely relentless.   Continue reading “The Relentless Hunter”

To The Head of the ATF

Mr. Jones:

It has come to my attention that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has recently instituted yet another ban on previously legal and widely imported ammunition.  These rifle rounds are made illegal and banned from import through a small and frankly underhanded tactic being carried out by your agency.  This week your agency announced that the further import of Russian surplus 5.45 X 39mm ammunition with military designation 7N6 would be banned in the United States.   Continue reading “An Open Letter to the Head of the ATF: Another Ammunition Ban?”

Russell Crowe as NoahThe Truth Wins – by Michael Snyder

In the new Hollywood blockbuster “Noah”, the Creator of this world is portrayed as an evil homicidal maniac that utterly hates humanity, and the Serpent is portrayed as the one holding the secret that will restore the “divine spark” to humanity.  Unfortunately, most Christians (even those that have reviewed this film negatively) have totally missed the Luciferian Gnostic themes that are being openly promoted by this film.  I have previously written about how “Noah” turns the fallen angels into good guys that actually help Noah build the Ark, but the occult themes in this movie go much deeper than that.  Director Darren Aronofsky has expertly woven elements of Luciferianism, Gnosticism and even from the Kabbalah throughout the film.  Over the years, hundreds of millions of people all over the world that watch this movie will be exposed to the Luciferian gospel without even realizing it.   Continue reading ““Noah” Promotes The Luciferian Gnostic Belief That The Creator Of This World Is Evil”

UN “Human Rights” Report Attacks U.S. Gun Rights, ConstitutionThe New American – by Alex Newman

The United Nations pseudo-“human-rights” bureaucracy released another report attacking Americans’ self-defense rights, “Stand Your Ground” statutes passed at the state level, and the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment protection of the people’s God-given right to keep and bear arms without government infringement. Agreeing with the Obama administration and the most extreme anti-Second Amendment members of Congress, the UN “Human Rights Committee” also claimed that the U.S. government needed to expand the unconstitutional background-check regime to include even private firearms sales.    Continue reading “UN “Human Rights” Report Attacks U.S. Gun Rights, Constitution”

Dozens of armed protesters gathered outside a San Antonio police station Sunday to let authorities know they aren’t happy that a man was tased and arrested after openly carrying his rifle while on a walk near his home a week ago, according to KSAT-TV in San Antonio.

Open Carry Texas also was protesting a city ordinance that outlaws carrying loaded weapons within city limits because, members said, state law prohibits municipalities from adopting any such ordinance.   Continue reading “Armed Protesters Gather at Texas Open-Carry Rally After Tasing, Arrest of Man Walking with Loaded Rifle”
