The Organic Prepper

In our agrarian past, we didn’t have  a grocery store in every town receiving shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables from all corners of the world on a daily basis.  Food preservation was a necessity to survive the long winter in most locations.  Over the centuries, many have gotten their winter produce fix from a simple non-tech solution:  the root cellar.

Last year when I did my One-Month Stockpile Challenge, I realized that this was a glaring omission in my food stockpile process, so this year, I’m determined to add this strategy to take my stockpile to the next level.  Fall is the perfect time to begin because for the next few months, those hard-shelled root vegetables as well as items like apples and potatoes, will be abundant and cheap.   Continue reading “How to Create a Root Cellar for Food Storage”

It was just a cockroach, one of millions around the world. But this one had a White House address, making it pretty special. Well, special at least to the reporters with workspace in the often-troubled basement of the press offices. Already this year, they have been treated to flooding, soaked carpet, mousetraps and the wondrous odors of mold.   Continue reading “Bugged: Obama’s Roach Problem”

GREENFIELD, CA — An innocent man was was killed in his own home by a fire caused by an aggressive SWAT team, and while never publicly admitting guilt, the sheriff’s department has finally made a monetary settlement with the family of the deceased.  Two years later, justice has never been reached for the killers of Roger Serrato, who received no punishment for their role in the negligent homicide of an man unrelated to the crime they were investigating, and were in fact verbally commended by county officials.   Continue reading “Misidentified man killed when SWAT team started his house on fire”

California is run by Cal State Berkley radical liberals. They are creating a liberal utopia here. It’s been done several time throughout history and NOT ONCE did it end well. BUT here’s the catch: The other nations that fell into chaos,war,genocide didn’t have a mother nation. California has YOU, you being the rest of the nation as it’s fallback. YOU will be responsible for saving California when it fails, YOU will be responsible for the refugees who storm the borders of AZ and NV. Sorry folks, I did my best….   Continue reading “California Puts Nail in Coffin”

Yesterday, we sounded the alarm on the draconian gun control bills the California Legislature just passed in our article titled, “SB 374: Assault Weapons Ban Passes, California Legislature Sends Bill to Governors Desk.” Today, we are going to analyze these bills and see what exactly they mean to us.

Right now, of course, it’s the war on Syria. Last month, it was something else. And next month, it’ll be something else.

We’re looking at one op after another, one crime after another, one cover-up after another, one threat, one psyop after another. It never ends.

To a significant degree, all these operations are just that, planned moves. And they do concern all of us, because the scope of the operations is vast.   Continue reading ““What concerns all of us at this time””
