Empty Supermarket - Photo by InfrogmationEnd of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

In the event that a major crisis or emergency strikes the United States, you are not going to be able to eat your gold and silver.  If we get into a situation where supermarkets get cleaned out and food supplies get very tight, you are going to wish that you had stored some things away for your family.  Now don’t get me wrong – I actually love gold and silver.  I believe that they are both going to multiply in price during the years ahead.  I particularly love silver for a couple of reasons.  Unlike gold, silver is used in thousands upon thousands of different consumer products, so the physical supply is constantly diminishing.  And historically, silver comes out of the ground at about a 10 to 1 ratio compared to gold, but right now the price of gold is about 65 times the price of silver.  At some point there is going to be a massive adjustment there.  But if you just rely on accumulating gold and silver and you never store up any food, you could end up deeply regretting that choice someday.   Continue reading “You Can’t Eat Gold And Silver”

After fending off numerous attacks on the freedom of the internet last year, activists and independent journalists alike are now facing another hurdle that flies in the face of freedom of the press, the “Journalist Shield Law“.

Although the bill is being sold by the Obama administration and establishment politicians in both parties as a positive step in protecting free speech, unfortunately the name of this bill is highly deceiving. Remembering just how unpatriotic the Patriot Act was, this new law, although deceivingly named, is likely to crush freedom of speech of any journalist not on a corporate payroll. According to the AP, this is how the bill defines who a real journalist is:   Continue reading “Feinstein’s Bill to Kill Free Speech of Independent Journalists ‘Has Votes’ to Pass Senate”

Albuquerque police oversight panel members on Tuesday demanded an independent investigation into the fatal police shooting of a homeless man as video footage from the altercation brought further condemnation from across the state.

Speaking a day after Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry called video of the shooting “horrific,” Police Oversight Task Force members said a new investigation was needed to examine the death of James Boyd. Members said they wanted an independent review of Albuquerque police and the Second Judicial District Attorney’s Office.   Continue reading “New Albuquerque Police Shooting Probe Sought”

Twits who are guilty of TWIT (texting while in traffic) can really make your blood boil. But what can you actually do about these drivers who are putting your life in danger? Join San Francisco artist Brian Singer’s quest to shame the menaces, for one. He’s heading up an ongoing project that takes photos of the offenders in action (snapped only by passengers or pedestrians, of course), and posts them on Facebook and this blog. As of this month, he has been blowing them up and paying to have them slapped on billboards.    Continue reading “Will Publicly Shaming Drivers Who Text Save Lives?”

You may know them as “shrooms”, “Magic mushrooms”, psilocybic mushrooms, or you may not know them at all. They are a natural plant that, like marijuana, is banned by the U.S. Government. But like marijuana, these mushrooms may not be without medical properties. Like marijuana, they could deserve a place on natural medicine shelves for their ability to treat depression, eradicate mental illness, and improve cognition – not in police evidence rooms.   Continue reading “Psychedelic Mushroom Compound Found to Grow and Repair Brain Cells”

Indiana Replaces Common Core ... With Common CoreThe New American – by Alex Newman

Celebrations by parents, teachers, and taxpayers across the political spectrum over the purported death of Common Core in Indiana may have been premature. When legions of outraged Hoosiers forced lawmakers to pass legislation dropping the Obama administration-pushed nationalization of K-12 education, which Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed on Monday, they thought that would be the end of the deeply controversial standards. However, now that drafts of Indiana’s “new” standards have emerged, it is clear that they were largely copied and pasted from the scandal-plagued Common Core.     Continue reading “Indiana Replaces Common Core … With Common Core”

5 Most Disturbing MKUltra Experiments Conducted By the CIATop Secret Writers – by Dennis

In the past, the American government has conducted acts to its people that it can never live down. One such act is MKUltra. The decade-long program subjected a number of Americans and citizens of other countries to inhumane experiments.

The U.S Army and the CIA subjected these people to a number of electroshock therapies, toxins, biological agents, and psychoactive drugs and often without their consent or knowledge. Even though the acts were committed nearly 70 years ago, many of the former subjects are still suffering and the American government is still being sued for its participation.   Continue reading “5 Most Disturbing MKUltra Experiments Conducted By the CIA”

A Facebook update from a father frustrated with the Common Core math program at his son’s school is making the Internet rounds after the father Jeff Severt expressed (via what looks like a kid’s homework assignment) how convoluted the teaching approach is.

The worksheet posted to Facebook shows the elaborate Common Core (CC) formula for solving a math problem (as opposed to the simple strategy of subtracting the smaller number from the larger one). It instructs the student to explain why a fictional kid named “Jack” should be using common core strategies to solve the problem: “Jack used the number line below to solve 427 – 316. Find his error. Then write a letter to Jack telling him what he did right, and what he should do to fix his mistake.”   Continue reading “Read Parent’s Facebook Response to ‘Ridiculous’ Common Core Math Homework”

An oddly timed dust storm is moving into the Valley right now. A Dust Storm Warning remains in effect until 5 p.m. for Maricopa and Pinal County as the massive wall of dust moves north along Interstate 10, and into parts of the southeast Valley.

We’re all used to dust storms in the summer — but rarely do they come in March.

Our dry winter, along with heavy winds in southern Arizona today, are likely the culprits of today’s dust storm.    Continue reading “15-20 mile-wide Haboob moves through Phoenix AZ – rare for this time of year”

The US government talks a lot of being appreciative of its war veterans, but actually leaves them in the lurch once they return home, an American political commentator says.

Linn Washington Jr., who is an Associate Professor of Journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia and a weekly columnist for the historic Philadelphia Tribune, made the remarks in a telephone interview with Press TV on Tuesday.   Continue reading “US leaves war veterans in the lurch once they return home: Analyst”

Near Death Experiments – by Pipe Rain

Packing a ruck can, at first glance seem a daunting affair.  If you look on the net, you’ll find all kinds of information on how to pack your ruck to go hike the Adirondacks or the Pacific Coast Trail.  You can find info from the Boy Scouts that will tell you how to properly pack a Coleman stove and a few days worth of canned foods.  In other words, there’s not a lot of info out there that suits “Our Purposes”.  So, in a search to figure out how to do this, and with the help of tire iron, and select tidbits from the web, here’s what I have.   Continue reading “How I pack my ruck”

How FarThe Defensive Training Group

As you experiment setting up your pack and then go into the field, you will find that many times your “what if” tendencies (see above graphic) will guide you to over-pack your ruck with many items you don’t really need, with the final result being the pack isn’t properly balanced once it’s loaded.  It will end up being an anchor instead of your ticket to continued ability to operate or survive.

The following information is provided for your benefit.   Continue reading “Ruck Sack Packing – A Primer”

It wasn’t that long ago when Dick’s Sporting Goods pulled all black semi-automatic rifles from their shelves. They felt that in light of the Sandy Hook tragedy, these guns possibly should not be sold. This of course caused massive complaints against Dick’s, by law-abiding gun owners protesting their lunacy.

Dick’s has now returned for round two! A member of Gun Rights Across America we’ll call “John” went shopping for .308 cartridges at the Dick’s in Niles, IL. When he went to checkout, he was bombarded with a list of questions after presenting his current Illinois FOID Card (Firearms Owners Identification Card – Required to purchase guns and/or ammunition under IL State Law).   Continue reading “Dick’s Sporting Goods Now Discriminating Against Law-Abiding Gun Owners”
