Islamic terror is in the headlines again, along with deadly vaccines, and a puzzling story that demonstrates just how far away our society has actually gotten from the original “Land of Opportunity” roots of our nation.
Survival Saturday is back after a brief hiatus. Here’s this week’s round-up of news and recommended reading material for folks who are interested in being prepared.
This Week in the News
Deadly Terror Attack in Belgium Blamed on ISIS
300 people were wounded and 31 people were killed in horrifying coordinated attacks in Brussels, Belgium. An airport and a subway station were bombed, and ISIS has taken credit for the attacks.
But don’t blame Islam. It’s the religion of peace, remember? At least one source says that the real culprit is a leadership that is unwilling to criticize Islam for fear of being politically incorrect. Judith Bergman wrote, “Western political and military establishments, as well as media and cultural elites, refuse to examine the political and military doctrines of Islam, and make them a subject of honest intellectual inquiry. When they are facing an enemy that uses these very doctrines as its reason for being, this refusal can only be described as gross malfeasance and reckless endangerment.” Many reports say that there were sufficient warnings before these attacks, but they were ignored, perhaps purposely.
According to some predictions, the terror in Belgium may not be over. The badge of a murdered security guard for the Tihange Nuclear Plant was stolen, the security at the plant has been said to be lax, and the ingredients for a dirty bomb have also gone missing in recent weeks. This article puts together a chilling, credible theory. (Prosecutors in Belgium have “ruled out” any “militant link” in the murder of the guard, so rest easy.)
Of course, every time there’s a terror attack, people scramble to try to guess the next target, and thus far, are never correct. While the experts may not be able to predict the next target, one thing is nearly certain: there will be a next target. More than 400 trained fighters have been dispatched to Europe with instructions to conduct attacks.
President Obama doesn’t think that Isis represents an “existential threat,” if that sets your mind at ease.
Do you know what to do if you are among the unfortunate souls in the midst of a terror attack? Read this politically incorrect article, because someone, somewhere wishes you were dead.
Boy Mows Lawn, Media Goes Wild
Let me preface this little rant by saying, “Good for you, son” to the boy who mowed the neighbor’s lawn to earn money to take his girl out on a date. I’m a huge proponent of kids who work to earn money and this is by now means an attempt to belittle what he did.
Let me continue by saying, “How the heck is this even news?” A 14-year-old boy hit up the neighbors to earn some money to take his girlfriend out to lunch, and somehow it made not only the local newspapers, but also got featured on Buzzfeed.
Have we become so far removed from actual work that it’s a huge deal when a kid cuts the neighbor’s grass to make money? Isn’t that how kids have always made money since the advent of lawnmowers, lawns, and money? Heck, that’s how one of my friends in high school bought his first car. My kids have raked leaves, mowed lawns, walked dogs, and shoveled manure to earn money and we never, ever realized that this was newsworthy. Heck, most of the things we did for fun when we were kids would get someone arrested today.
If mowing the neighbor’s lawn to take a girl on a date is this big of a deal, then I feel that we’re probably in big trouble when this generation takes the reins of the country. There are no news articles and freebie meals in the real world, kids. How can kids who never work to earn money function in the real world? The greatest gift we can give our children to prepare them for the future is the knowledge they need to handle their finances wisely. (Hat-tip to my hard-working 15-year-old daughter, who was also aghast that this was news and brought this story to my attention. She was particularly stunned that no Buzzfeed articles have been written about her, since she cleans poop out of barns to earn her shopping and cell phone money.)
Batch of Vaccines Kill, Injure 75% of the Mexican Babies Who Received Them
Out of 52 children vaccinated for tuberculosis, rotavirus and hepatitis B in a small Mexican town, two babies have died and 37 more have been hospitalized. This article reports some very grim statistics on vaccine injuries and discusses the current drama being endured by the families in Mexico.
In other news on the vaccine debate, Robert de Niro, the father of a child with autism, pushed the Tribeca Film Festival to screen an anti-vax documentary by none other than Andrew Wakefield, amid much hullabaloo from the mainstream media. The film is called “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” Wakefield, if you remember, was the doctor who first made the link between vaccines and autism. He subsequently had has life ruined by Big Pharma, but Wakefield has fought back for years, even though his medical license was taken. Wakefield’s theories were recently supported by a CDC whistleblower who claims that studies proving the link between vaccines and autism were deliberately covered up.
PS: My goal is not to convince you whether or not to vaccinate your children. I just hope that I can bring awareness to the fact that not all vaxxes are created equally, that everyone has an agenda, and that you need to be informed of the risks before making your choices. Regardless of whether or not you choose to vaccinate your children, do your research about the risks of either decision. This is an excellent book with thorough and less biased information.
Introducing Preppers Market
A few years ago when I began my blog, I did so to combine two of my greatest passions: preparedness and wellness. One of the major issues I discovered when trying to help others become more prepared was that it wasn’t just difficult to find a high-quality emergency food – it was impossible.
For years, I tried various emergency food buckets, only to immediately park them in the back of my pantry to be used as an absolute last resort. There are quite a few food intolerances in my family, and the chemical-laden, gluten-filled products were recipes for headaches and digestive upsets. I didn’t find a single product I could recommend to others without writing paragraphs of caveats, warning them that these products weren’t particularly good for them, but here they were if the person was still inclined to buy them.
Then, after many disappointing taste-testings, I discovered NuManna Foods. Out of all of the products I had tried, there was finally something that I could serve to my family and recommend to my readers in good conscience. NuManna is committed to providing ground-breaking products for those who realize that survival food should help you to thrive, not just keep the hunger pangs away.
The things I’ve stockpiled away from NuManna read like a shopping list from a health food store. Delicious things like
- Quinoa
- Organic brown rice
- Chia seeds
- Gluten-free meals
- Organic milk
- Sprouting Seeds
I could go on and on about the good things contained in NuManna Foods, but instead, I also want to talk about the things you won’t find in their buckets. NuManna is committed to providing food free of the following ingredients:
- No GMOs
- No High Fructose Corn Syrup
- No Added MSG
- No Aspartame
- No Soy
- No Chemical Preservatives
This is the emergency food that I store for my own family, and we’ve personally tried every single item. I am delighted to finally find products that I can heartily recommend. If you’re looking for long-term storage food, it doesn’t get better than NuManna. Stock up, so that you can nourish your family in an emergency, too.
I believe so strongly in these products that I’ve developed a new website,Preppers Market. The site includes only products that I personally endorse and use for my own family. Check it out and let me know what you think.

“Let me continue by saying, “How the heck is this even news?”
Because there’s virtually no REAL good news to report these days, so the MSM reports fluff like this in a pitiful attempt to counterbalance all the bad news being reported.
Besides, the sheeple are so dumbed down now, that this stupid cr@p actually IS news to them.
*** But don’t blame Islam. It’s the religion of peace, remember? ***
And I suppose the Israel, the US, and their puppets are interested in peace?
Personally, I do blame those terrorists for killing random civilians. That’s never justified, no matter what. But I also blame the Zionists and their puppets for inciting them.
Let’s think about this. Who has been sending their military forces to attack and invade whom? How many innocent people have Islamic terrorists killed versus the number killed by Zionist-American wars? How many people have died in the chaos that inevitably resulted in Middle Eastern after coups were orchestrated by the CIA and the Mossad? Hell, ISIS has its origins in a proxy force created by the US and Israel for use against the Syrian government.
So, where do Westerners get room to criticize Muslims for not being peaceful? Apparently aggressive violence is only wrong when they do it, since we’re the “good guys.”
It needs to be pointed out yet again that Islamic terrorism is insignificant in Western countries as a cause of death. The only reason so many believe otherwise is the 24/7 saturation coverage by the establishment media. This ensures that the public will play along with the loss of their civil liberties and cheerfully pony up endless trillions for military attacks of other lands. Key goals of this hidden agenda are Israeli hegemony and “defense” industry profits.
What else could those trillions be spent on instead? How about Alzheimer’s research? Or maybe cancer research? Cancer alone kills well over 10,000 people EACH DAY. How does the terrorism death toll measure up to that?
*** At least one source says that the real culprit is a leadership that is unwilling to criticize Islam for fear of being politically incorrect. Judith Bergman wrote… ***
Yes, let’s listen to what a Zionist Jew wrote about Muslims. I’m sure her views will be completely unbiased. LOL
*** Many reports say that there were sufficient warnings before these attacks, but they were ignored, perhaps purposely. ***
I wouldn’t be surprised if the warnings were purposely ignored. The US, Israel, and their puppets WANT these attacks to occur, at least on a small scale. That provides a basis for their continued propaganda in support of the “War on Terror.”
AND “THEY” KILL ALL THESE PEOPLE IN “YOUR” NAME SO AS TO REMOVE RESPONSIBILITY FROM THEMSELVES. THEY CAN ALWAYS BLAME OUR “LAW”.. RIGHT? A GOVERNMENT “OF BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE”? EVEN THE LOWER COURTS PULL THIS SHIT SAYING “THE PEOPLE VERSUS SO AND SO”. THOSE ARE NOT OUR COURTS, BUT “STATE” COURTS. KANGAROO TRASH RUN THEM BASED ON LAWS OF MAMMON WHILE CRIMINALS GO UNPUNISHED…….. SHALL I GO ON?LOL…………..
