SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

As local police departments cut personnel due to excessive spending and budgetary restrictions, cities all across America are rapidly degenerating into gang infested war zones.

In the city of Chicago, which has been one of the hardest hit during the opening stages of a greater depression sweeping the country, law enforcement officials compared the situation on the ground to the kind of tribal warfare one might see in places like Iraq. With law and order breaking down, residents of the city have been caught in the middle. The crime wave has gotten so bad, in fact, that earlier this year the Chicago PD announced a new response plan, or rather, a NON-response plan, wherein police will not even show up at crime scenes unless someone has been critically injured or the perpetrator is still on the scene.   Continue reading “Next-Generation Flash Mobs: The Breakdown of Law & Order”

Iran has “no nuclear relations” with North Korea, and rumours that it does are false, the head of the country’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEO) insisted on Tuesday.

Speaking to Iranian Students’ News Agency at a burial ceremony for two “unknown martyrs” at AEO headquarters, Ali Akbar Salehi denied the claims and said: “I don’t know why and how such rumours are produced”.   Continue reading “Iran atomic chief insists no deal with the DPRK made”

Stories claiming RFID chips are being tested as part of Obamacare have been going viral on alternative news websites, with people claiming that a test run began on the citizens in a small town in Wyoming in Hanna.

For instance, a post on the website “Before It’s News” from a blog called “Resist the Tyranny” claims that the chips are being “test ran” in Hanna and says it’s “yet another fatal blow to American privacy and liberties.”   Continue reading “Are RFID Chips Being Tested for Obamacare? No, It’s a Hoax”

I am taking an online two-year business degree course at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, New York. Listed below is an assignment in my health class. I find this unacceptable for a college assignment, but then again so is most of the education I am receiving.

I can only assume that the powers to be, want to see how there propaganda is influencing today’s students.   Continue reading “Intruding College Assignments”

Obama’s popularity has finally begun to tumble. Even some of his Marxist minions who had previously followed his orders and believed his lies without question are now, if even ever so slightly, beginning to query his judgment and motives. Since 2009, I have been writing and saying on-air that it was and is Barack Hussein Obama’s intent to replace any and all Shiite Muslim leadership with that of the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood (Note: Obama’s “family” members are leaders in the Kenyan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood). That is precisely what he is doing, now, and has been affecting since the beginning of his reign as Dictator-in-Chief of the “New American [Obama] Colonies.”   Continue reading “End Game of Obama Dictatorship: Tyranny Rising–Part III”

Ready Nutrition – by Tess Pennington

Many outdoors men, survivalists, and households preparing for emergency disasters rely upon common household bleach as a disinfecting agent to make water safe to drink.

Bleach will destroy most (but NOT all!) disease causing organisms (boiling water to make it safe to drink is always the best method).

What is not well known is Calcium Hypochlorite is far better for chemically disinfecting water.   Continue reading “Better than Bleach: Use Calcium Hypochlorite to Disinfect Water”

My Family Survival Plan – by Alec Deacon

Bugs may not seem like the ideal meal to us, Americans, but eating insects is a common practice in Asian and African countries and even in Australia. And while we find it gross to cook bugs and eat them, people from other parts of the world have put these prejudices aside and are now eating insects for their highly nutritional value.

For example, caterpillars have more protein than an equal quantity of minced beef. Even more so, a study shows that some insects and larvae are much more nutritious than any of our regular foods:   Continue reading “Eating Bugs To Survive: 30 Bugs You Can Eat When SHTF”

Back in 2003, it was already well established that the US federal government was using new surveillance powers found in the Patriot Act to investigate crimes unrelated to terrorism. In 2001, the ACLU detailed how the FBI issued 143,074 national security letters (which come with gag orders), resulting in 53 criminal referrals, of which only one was for terrorism. And, in October, NSA Chief Gen. Keith Alexander stated that only one or two terrorists plots were thwarted because of federal surveillance of telephone conversations.   Continue reading “Nixon Had It Right: The Government Should Be Wiretapped”

First, from Communist China.  The Reuters caption reads: “A policeman (2nd L) of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) controls a mock rioter during a SWAT police performance drill at a training base in Xi’an, Shaanxi province October 30, 2013.”

Next, from Communist America (via Instapundit):

David Eckert, a resident of Deming, NM, was pulled over by police officers after failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. For whatever reason, the officers decided Eckert was hiding something, or perhaps they were unsatisfied that a routine stop hadn’t blown up into something bigger.    Continue reading “This Is What Totalitarianism Looks Like”

President Obama said in an interview on Thursday that he’s sorry a number of Americans are being forced to change their health care plans despite previous assurances that the Affordable Care Act would allow them to keep their existing plans.

“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” Obama told Chuck Todd during an interview with NBC News at the White House.   Continue reading “President Obama says he’s sorry for Americans losing insurance plans”

World Health

Diarrhea from contaminated drinking water is second only to pneumonia as a cause of childhood deaths worldwide. More than 2,000 children die every day as a result of diarrheal illnesses. The Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, a humanitarian effort led by Procter & Gamble, has distributed water-purification packets, which transform cloudy, brown water into crystal-clear, drinkable water that meets all the requirements for drinking water.   Continue reading “Water-purification plant the size of a fast-food ketchup packet saves lives”
