How to prepare your family to survive and thrive in todays uncertain world
Today’s post has little to do with preparedness, and won’t be particularly relevant for you if you’re not a parent or grandparent. So I won’t be offended if you skip it and join us again on Friday. I read a rather disturbing article today about the latest and greatest substance abuse craze among kids in [...]
So I want to take a few minutes tonight and write up a brief update on us, the blog, etc. As you may have noticed, real posts have been a bit sparse the last couple of weeks. We had a plague sweep through our home resulting in almost everyone getting a stomach flu. Didn’t get [...]
So a few days ago I wrote about the decisions we’re facing, and I wanted to give you an update on that. First though, my apologies for not writing much last week. We had the plague sweep through the house, and I didn’t get much sleep. Add to that, we had (still have) some house [...]
So today, a bit of a look into my thought processes, and some of the things that my wife and I are wrestling with right now. I’ve wanted for quite some time to move away from office work and into work that is at minimum locationally independant, and preferably time independant as well. Today I [...]
So I’ve always thought it was strange that cities in Europe like London are blanketed with surveilance cameras. It baffles me that folks are ok with that kind of intrusion into their privacy and personal affairs. Yet it doesn’t seem to be all that big a deal for them. Last week I was driving down [...]
Politically speaking, I’ve always leaned towards the conservative side of the aisle. For a long time, that meant voting for the republican when election day rolls around. Yes, there was the occasional vote for the Libertarian candidate, but by and large I was mostly a straight ticket voter. In Washington State we have local and [...]
So quite a few of you, including my parents, emailed me asking about this “FBI Is Spying On Us” thing that was posted on Survivalblog. Jim Rawles posted that the FBI was intercepting traffic to his website and dropping tracking cookies to spy on his readers. He believes that the FBI intercepted traffic by redirecting [...]
Every day I hear more and more that reinforces my feelings on self sufficiency. The biggest concerns I have are around finances and food. From a financial standpoint, nothing is getting any better, and in fact things are getting worse. Greece has defaulted, and today they owe a massive debt payment. We’ll see if they [...]
There’s an interesting trend going on right now … it didn’t start yesterday, but has been going on for a while. It’s something that you won’t hear much about on the news or on TV. The media and the government don’t want you to know about it. It’s called State Sovereignty. More and more States [...]
Buckle Up, This Is Getting Bumpy…
Remember me telling you just yesterday that the bank runs in Greece would spread to Spain and elsewhere? A report came out tonight saying that depositors in Bankia, one of the premier Spanish banks, have withdrawn over $1 BILLION Euros in the last couple days. So it spreads. In other news, Moody’s downgraded 16 other [...]
