As promised a few new thing, or should I say a few more facts were revealed today concerning previous posts. So here is the second post of the day.
China is about ready to lower the boom on US debt. They dropped $50B in US debt in Dec. 2013 and the ONLY reason we didn't hear about it or feel it in our pocket books was because the European Union picked up the slack and saved America's bacon. China will continue to drop anywhere from $30 to $50B US debt every month and use the money instead to continue buying gold. They, unlike the head-in-the-sand idiots running DC, understand that gold is THE only real world currency and are actively continuing to build their stockpile. They are thought to hold more the 5,000 tons of gold, but that isn't a confirmed number since China stopped announcing their holdings years ago. According to Bloomberg 80% of all the gold exported from the Swiss last month went to Asia and of that China received 44% with India a distant second place at 14%. As China and the world moves away from the US dollar, expect interest rates to skyrocket and inflation to follow suit. Don't be surprised to see interest rates as high as 13% or even more in the near future as the Fed tries to interest buyers in treasury notes. When that happens the cost of US debt will be around $1T a year just for maintenance.
Additional non-nerve tonic. As it stands right now 4 large US banks (JP Morgan and Chase are among them) are holding over $40B each in derivatives and when China and the rest of the world burst our financial bubble the carnage will be considerable. That begs the question "is this why there has been a sudden spate of banker deaths due to unusual circumstances in the last 2 months?" Wouldn't surprise me. For those who are financially challenged, like me, derivatives are important because the banks use them to leverage their bottom line and lets them loan out more money at better interest rates. A smarter man then me once said that every economic crash has come as a surprise to the masses since we're always the last to know when something is rotten in Denmark. So take this warning to heart and get ready. The ride is just beginning and it's going to be real rough and the bumps will be bone breaking if your not prepared. The big money people are aware of what's coming and are positioning themselves to ride out the storm as comfortably as possible while maintaining as much of their wealth as possible. You should do the same. None of us can afford to sit back and watch the economy of the world disintegrate before our eyes, but we can do our part to see that we are around when the smoke clears to be 100% certain that this sort of situation NEVER happens again. And to be as ready as possible we need to make sure or stocks of food, medical supplies and ammo are up to par. Also a nice supple of gold or silver coins wouldn't hurt either. If, like me, you want to be around to sit on the jury when these criminals come to answer for their many crimes against the American people, you need to be alive and well. So get busy, if you aren't already, and get yourself positioned to survive.
I recently wrote about a terror group in America that is pals with the FBI. Jamaat al-Fuqra is an African-American muslim group that has been linked to over 17 terror acts in the US alone in the last decade (including the under ware bomber and the DC sniper) and yet the FBI would rather have lunch with them rather the investigate and lock the whole group of raghead thugs in prison for the rest of their natural lives. I just found out they have a training compound near Rockford, IL under the name "Muslims of America" or "MOA" The nearest other compounds are outside Detroit MI and Kansas City, MO. At these and their other 14 compounds across America they conduct, (as they proudly announced) the "most advanced training courses in Islamic military warfare" in the world. Neighbors report hearing weapons fire often at these compounds and, as told previously, there are videos of women receiving firearms and martial arts training as well as instruction in various military techniques. And the FBI knows all about this group, yet refuses to do more then have lunch with them. As a concerned America I have to ask why? But I doubt you or I will be happy with the answer. As for the Rockford compound, that's a little to close to home for me to be comfortable here ever again.
It's been a week since I withdrew my announcement that I was dropping the blog due to no response from readers. I withdrew my original decision when I was told that someone was reading it. But I cautioned that I would reinstate my decision if I didn't get some responses, either pro or con. Well I'm still waiting and it's been a week. So I'm now saying I'll give it another few days before I pull the plug. So here is your last chance to keep the blog going. E-mail me with questions or comments and the blog stays, no response by Tuesday and the blog dies. BTW, I have NEVER been known for my patience, ask my wife.

More Odds and Ends
This post is coming out very early today, so, as always, if anything important happens later today I'll add a second post or modify these post.
A worrisome notice was issued today by Russia. They will be adding an undisclosed number of "stealth" subs to their Mediterranean task force. These subs are nicknamed "black holes in the ocean" by our navy because they are so difficult to spot while submerged. They carry 36 torpedo's and 6 or 8 surface to air or surface to surface missiles. This addition to the task force will be a major escalation of force in the region where Russia already has 12 ships that include a nuclear powered missile cruiser and an aircraft carrier. Plus their Black Sea fleet is in close proximity. The stated purpose for this escalation is to further protect Russian interests in the area as well as assist in the removal of WMD from Syria. But no one can explain how the addition of subs will better their ability to remove all those chemical weapons that Syria has been using freely on it's own citizens.
Maobama was going to announce cuts to our Social Security payments in this years budget to be posted by 3-4-14. But democrats who are looking at a difficult election in Nov. asked him to delay the cuts until next year to help keep them in office. Further maobama is putting his monitors in news rooms across the country. And no one is really complaining about it besides various conservative pundits on the internet. The news has been slanted to favor maobama ever since he announced his candidacy and now he wants to be sure he actually controls what the sheeple hear. And since most Americans make their decisions on important items based totally on what their favorite talking head tells them, maobama can have even more mind control over everyone. Oh happy days!
This comes under the heading of things to come. White Plains N.Y. has passed an ordinance requiring all stores to install video surveillance cameras at all their locations and allow police to view the stored video upon request, no warrant needed. I wonder if this is how big brother in the story "1984" started?
If you've been following the reports of all the turmoil in the Ukraine you have to ask yourself if this is what America's future looks like. Just like America is becoming, the citizens of Ukraine have had enough and won't take it anymore. The rioting has escalated from non-violent protests to rock throwing to now open warfare as the citizens and police are shooting at each other and the citizens are coming out armed and in make shift body armor including helmets. I can easily see this scenario playing out in America's near future, except that the citizens here will be better armed and have much better armor to assist them in forcing the maobama regime to follow the laws as outlined in the Constitution. Note that I am NOT advocating such an action, just saying that it wouldn't surprise me if/when it happens. I see where the government of Ukraine and the protestors have reached some sort of agreement to end the violence, but details are sketchy. I hope it works out for all so people will stop dying unnecessarily. But, like the "arab spring" in Egypt that didn't last to long because the new leaders were as bad as the old ones, I'll withhold my comments until things have had time to shake out.
A little good news for a change. A proposed New Hampshire law will prevent ANY local, county or state law enforcement agency from acquiring "military style equipment" without the citizens from agreeing to it by vote. Is this the first step in stopping the turning of our cops into paramilitary thugs? I hope so and that other states or at least counties follow suit.
Todays survival tip concerns your moral code of conduct while in a SHTF situation. My take on it comes from my Christian beliefs in that we should be as the Good Sumariton and help our neighbors as best we can and that we follow the 10 Commandments to the best of our ability in such circumstances. By that I mean we will need to share our food with those less fortunate, but only to a limited extent. My thoughts are that we give refugees enough food to last them for several days and then send them on their way. To try to take every refugee in and feed and cloth them will eat up our limited supplies in a short time. Much as we'd like to, we can't take 5 fish and 7 loaves of bread and feed the multitude forever. So we do what we can without taking anything critical away from our families or group. If we know where they can get additional help, we share that with them and if they are trying to become self-sufficient we teach them what they need to know to grow or harvest their own foods and give/loan them the seeds/tools needed. We do everything we can to make these new survivalists successful without fatally damaging our own abilities to survive. Next we keep from fouling our own nest. We don't chase after another person's mate, we don't fornicate outside our maritial bed and we don't steal from each other. A family is inviolate in ALL it's members and a group pulling together to survive is a family, only extended. The "due unto others" rule should be our guiding light both with dealing with refugees or people within your group. I assume your already laying down some rules within the group that covers offences such as drunken behavior, sleeping on duty, hoarding food, etc. Those are all good, practical rules to make living together safer and easier for all. But you also need to get some moral rules in place too. There should be no misunderstandings about messing with another mans wife or daughters, or trying to undermine another person for any reason. Again use the 10 Commandments as your guide and you can't go wrong. And do it NOW. During a crisis you can't discover that one member is a drunkard or that another is a hound dog in heat all the time. Or that some members are uncomfortable with any sort of moral rules. Get this talked through and agreed on by all the members before you all have to live together in close confinement. It will make trying times more bearable if it's all settled before it's really needed. If any of you have had similar thoughts or don't agree with mine, let me know via an e-mail and we can get a discussion going and maybe we'll all learn something.

A few survival/prepping tips
I almost did not write todays post. Took the wife shopping earlier today and then took my third grand daughter shooting tonight and, at my age, those activities wore me out. However I was thinking about some simple and fairly inexpensive ways to get yourself better prepared.
First covers a question that every new survivalist has and it's "where/how do I begin to prepare?". The simple answer is just to begin, but that's copping out on an honest question. My suggestion is to pick a time frame, let's say a week. You want enough goods on hand to keep your family secure and well fed. So look at what you'd need to take care of ALL your needs for a week and then build up your stockpile to cover it. But don't stop with a weeks worth of food, that isn't the complete answer. You also need a weeks worth of personal hygiene products, including and especially the venerable toilet paper. Yes there are alternatives to T.P., but somehow I just don't see any modern America using them right from the git-go. Then you'll need a weeks worth of cleaning supplies, disease is right around the corner of every emergency and keeping your area clean, most importantly the food prep and eating areas, is essential. In every emergency I know of, power is gone immediately. So can you light up your home for a week without electricity? The same question covers cooking. If the basic services are gone, can you cook the food your family needs without the use of your stove? Water, the average amount of water a person needs per day for drinking and cooking is 1 gal. Notice that doesn't include personal hygiene or simply flushing the toilet. have you access to a good water supple and is it clean? If not, how will you purify it? What if someone sees the light in you house and decides he needs your supplies more then your family does? Can you protect you family and life saving supplies? For that matter, what will you do if a small fire ignites into one that consumes the entire house, including ALL your supplies? If a small fire starts, do you have a fire extinguisher on hand to keep it from destroying everything. These are just some of the things you need to consider when you begin prepping and need a starting point. So, using these hopefully helpful questions and applying them to you plan for survival and make sure you have as many avenues covered as you can. Once you have enough to cover your family's needs for that time span, increase the time span and start all over again. But do not skimp on anything or skip over something non-glamorous like cleaning supplies and over stock in the sexy areas like guns or ammo. An unbalanced stockpile means that when it comes time to use those items you've been keeping won't be there when needed. Last I heard they haven't revoked Murphy's Law yet, so plan for a visit, or two, from the little imp when TEOTWAWKI occurs.
Speaking of water, you have more on hand then you may realize. Every home I know of has both a water heater and a water pressure tank. Each holds anywhere from 20 to 60 gallons of clean water and are fairly easy to tap into if you have the right tools to do so. There are several gallons available in the toilet tank, NOT THE BOWL. Myself I'd use the toilet tank for cleaning up a mess someplace along with bleach, but never for cooking or drinking. Anyway, the two tanks mentioned above may hold as much as 80 or more gallons of useable water. For a family of 4 that means you have 20 days of drinking/cooking water at your fingertips. If the event lasts longer then those 20 days, how will you get more good drinking water for your family. The easiest way is to get it from a near by stream, river or lake and then purify it. Just make sure the water is from a fresh water supply and isn't salt water. Salt water can be cleaned so it is drinkable, but the process is long and fairly labor intensive. My suggestion is to get a good water filter system that uses either charcoal filters or reverse osmosis to purify the water. Or strain out as much of whatever is floating in the river water and then boil it for 15 minutes minimum at a roiling boil. Whatever method you decide on, and I'd suggest you have several ways to purify the water, you need to do sample runs of the system to be sure you understand what your doing and to become proficient at it. As a matter of fact I think every prepper should hold practice sessions for every level and method of survivalism before the use of that technique becomes needed. Practice makes perfect after all.
An inexpensive method of carrying extra ammo with you is to utilize items like stripper clips to carry ammo of a different caliber then they were intended for. As an example the stripper clips for the M16 in 5.56 will also hold 9MM pistol rounds. The rounds will slide in just like the original ammo and allows it to be carried in a pants pocket quietly and still gives you quick access to it. Or use the stripper clips for an AK47 in 7.62X39 to carry extra rounds for your .38/.357 pistol ammo. It functions just like a Bianchi stripper clip, but costs pennies compared to the Bianchi. Also it will carry 10 rounds while the more conventional Bianchi stripper clip holds just 6 rounds. BTW, the M16 stripper clip will hold 9 rounds of 9MM ammo. Both clips are inexpensive and easy to use for this new purpose. Those are two methods of carrying extra ammo for when/if you ever need it. I'm sure there are other methods available that I am unaware of. If you have any suggestions, e-mail them to me and I'll put them in my next post and give you credit for the idea.
Finally I was recently asked how a fairly intelligent person like me can still believe in the old fable of a "Supreme God over the whole universe". I gave them the standard answer that my faith is what's helping me cope with the many medical problems I am now facing, that the love God showed when he sent his Son down to cover my many sins, etc. yadda-yadda, ad nauseum. Then I told her that my belief was ironclad and if I was wrong, so what? If I died tomorrow and there is now afterlife, what happens then? I'm dead and pushing up daisy's in some small box until I disintegrate. And what have I lost? Absolutely nothing. To cover my belief that God has a plan for me as well as a place in Heaven when He calls me home, I've lived as best I can to the teachings in the Bible. I've not stolen anything from anyone since I was a young, very young boy. I haven't killed anyone other then in time of war, nor have I committed adultery or coveted my neighbors anything. I've honored my parents and placed no god before my God. In other words I've lived a good life for the most part and God has seen fit to recognize that and blessed me with many bounties. And at what cost to me? Well I don't wake up with a hangover or in a strange bed. I don't look over my shoulder when a cop car goes by, nor am I afraid to look other people in the eye because I never cheated them out of anything. I'm not deeply in debt, in fact I owe no one anything anymore. So there was a cost for my beliefs after all. I couldn't live as recklessly or stupidly as others, nor did I spend money that I didn't have on things I didn't need. My wife has been the only woman in my life for the last 43 years, but I don't consider that a cost at all. So if I place all the things I DIDN"T do against all the things I did do and add in what I've received, the scale is strongly tipped towards a belief in God. So in the end that's what living as a Christian did cost me, I had to live a good life with a good woman and enjoy the multitude of bounties God gave me. WOW!!! What a price I had to pay and I'd do it all over again in a New York minute. Compare that to the many who live a life apart from God and see what that costs them and you'll understand why I'm a Christian and why I believe in the old wives tale of a supreme God. Call me foolish, stupid or brainwashed if you want, but I'm happy in my beliefs and have no regrets at all about any of those decisions.

More odds and ends
More signs of the approaching collapse of the dollar. Major funds like K.K.R. are spending big bucks to reposition themselves into the resources sector. K.K.R. recently spent $1.5B to set up shop in Calgary, Canada so they could be closer to the action and away from the impending doom that will be America. Foreign governments are still buying into gold as well as the gold production and mining sectors. China and Russia have an agreement to abandon the dollar and trade their currencies between themselves. To sum up, the world is beginning to get away from the petrol dollar and into trading either their own currencies or commodities. And when that happens the American dollar, and you by definition, will have your goose cooked. Unless your already into precious metals and have beau coup trading items. And if your not as yet, why not?
BTW, the U.S. national marketable debt has more then doubled under maobama, it's up 106% since 2008.
Interesting news item, the new director of ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency resigned after only 5 months on the job. Either he wasn't aware of all the ramifications that went with the position or he found out how crooked the maobama regime really was and couldn't stomach their plans as he was fully integrated into them. Either way he's gone and who knows who maobama will appoint next to fill that important DHS arm. When questioned as to why he was quitting, he gave no answer????
Warren Buffets favorite ratio of Dow to the GDP points to an imminent 50% crash in the Dow. Is that why he and so many other big money people are deserting the market and running to precious metals and other commodities???
Troubling news about America's ability to deal with terrorists within our borders. Seems that the FBI thinks making friends with them will make them like America better. The muslim group Jamaat al-Fuqra has a series of training camps across America, in almost every state. They claim to be peaceful and say they are not terrorists. Yet video shows them training women in martial arts, weapons handling and combat techniques at their Hancock, MA facility. By coincidence that was the same facility where there is video showing misc. FBI agents having a friendly lunch with these non-violent ragheads. BTW, the lunch took place AFTER the FBI had placed the group on the terror organizations watch list that was sent to EVERY FBI field office. Sort of makes you wonder if the FBI has target identification problems. Maybe they're to busy watching home grown terrorists like the tea party to watch these peaceful (?) muslims. Or were they told to lay off these boy buggers by someone higher up? Like maybe in the oval office???
Just in, the federal government strikes again. Seems a federal judge has struck down the Neb. law OKing the Keystone to be built across it's territory. The reason hasn't been announced as yet, but this is just another way for maobama to try to roadblock the pipeline and still divert blame away from him or the Democrats in this crucial election year. And you wanted to know why your gas prices are surging, again.
To get away from all the gloom and doom news, there are some survival tips I hope you can use.
First concerns a question I got about which method was better for storing food long term, dehydrating or freeze dried. The short answer is freeze dried. Dehydration foods will keep for up to several months or slightly longer, depending on how dry you get it. The dryer the better and you'll know because very dry foods have a brittle texture. While freeze dried foods will last a number of years. Both foods storage life depends on how and where they are stored. The quickest way to destroy your stored foods is to let high temperatures, moisture or light touch them. Contamination, bugs and rodents complete the spoilage list. And always rotate your stored foods using the oldest first. So be sure to date all your stored foods and use FIFO as your motto, first in-first out.
The second tip concerns using canning jars to allow access to frequently used items like salt, rice, sugar, etc. while minimizing contamination possibilities. Someone suggested using lids from salt containers with the pour spout and that will work. However in my house a box of salt lasts a real long time right now. So instead I use the plastic tops of milk or juice bottles. I cut the tops off, completely clean and drain dry the tops, then using the outer ring from my canning jar as a template I draw a line where I want to cut off all the excess plastic. Then I attach the top to the jar and hold it in place with the ring. Works like a charm and is reusable for many times. If it's very humid and your worried about the humidity entering the jar, use a small piece of plastic wrap under the bottle cap and that will keep the contents nice and dry.
BTW, the U.S. national marketable debt has more then doubled under maobama, it's up 106% since 2008.

While freeze dried foods will last a number of years. Both foods storage life depends on how and where they are stored. The quickest way to destroy your stored foods is to let high temperatures, moisture or light touch them. Contamination, bugs and rodents complete the spoilage list. And always rotate your stored foods using the oldest first. So be sure to date all your stored foods and use FIFO as your motto, first in-first out.
The second tip concerns using canning jars to allow access to frequently used items like salt, rice, sugar, etc. while minimizing contamination possibilities. Someone suggested using lids from salt containers with the pour spout and that will work. However in my house a box of salt lasts a real long time right now. So instead I use the plastic tops of milk or juice bottles. I cut the tops off, completely clean and drain dry the tops, then using the outer ring from my canning jar as a template I draw a line where I want to cut off all the excess plastic. Then I attach the top to the jar and hold it in place with the ring. Works like a charm and is reusable for many times. If it's very humid and your worried about the humidity entering the jar, use a small piece of plastic wrap under the bottle cap and that will keep the contents nice and dry.

Odd's and End's
Almost stole the title from one of my favorite blogs, "Survival.Blog" by Jim Rawles, but changed it to keep from violating one of the 10 Commandments. LOL!
Today's post is mostly some items found recently supporting other posts here as well as a couple of new items that caught my interest. First concerns my older post about the economy and how knowledgeable, wealthy investors like Buffet are abandoning the market to reposition themselves in precious metals. A recent report says that George Soros, the foreign billionare who is working steadily to destroy America has placed an $1.3B bet that the S&P and the Dow will decline to the point of no return. I don't know the timetable for this decline, but Soros isn't someone who makes foolish bets, especially involving so much money. Nor is he noted for his patience, so I doubt it's a long-term bet. But the man didn't get so rich by not knowing the way the political and economic winds are blowing. So I'd suggest we continue to build our stockpile and get ready to hunker down and ride the storm out as best we can.
Next came the report that maobama will have a "big breakthrough" before the end of the year. This breakthrough concerns Israel and the "Palestine Authority". Supposedly Kerry is in the process of finalizing an agreement with the PA to give them back significant portions of what's currently Israeli land to include all of east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley. All were won during the several wars Israel fought with it's muslim neighbors when they tried to push Israel into the sea of oblivion. All were used by the muslims to rain fire down on various Israeli settlements and all were pressure points against Israel for many years. Oh, almost forgot, this is all done without the consent or agreement of Israel, Kerry is deciding what and where they should live so the poor ragheads don't keep crying on the world stage. Further it's been decided that to protect the holy sites in east Jerusalem will be protected by a group of foreigners made up of the Vatican and various muslim countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Seems fair, muslim sites are taken care of by the large armed forces of these muslim countries and the Christian sites are watched over by the Pope's Swiss Guard, swords and all. Sounds like the crusades all over again. Of course Israel will reject any such agreement, especially since it's happening without their approval or input. Israel has already tried trading land for peace and all it's got were more demands for more land while still suffering from constant mosquito attacks all along the negotiated borders. And mosquito attacks still cause death and destruction to Israel. The only thing I see coming from this is more troubles for Israel and more wars between them and the surrounding muslim nations. This war would be different though. This time it will start as conventional warfare and when Israel starts kicking butts again, those nuclear bombs that Iran swears it's not building will fly and Israel will retaliate with the nukes it's never admitted it had. Then it could well be a katey bar the door scenario and quickly escalate to surrounding areas. Can anyone say "Armageddon"?
As a further cause of trouble that the world is not really following, Japan has secretly begun building nuclear bombs according to "Asia Weekly". In a recent series of articles the well respected news paper said that the increase in tension caused by China's threats to the open sea lanes and territory claimed by Japan, as well as the increase hostility towards everything outside it's borders by N. Korea has prompted Japan to begin to take on more of the responsibility for it's own safety. The decrease in confidence in America to honor it's commitment to safe guard Japan in return for Japan not becoming a nuclear power as well as the increasing indebtedness of America to China has also made Japan worry about it's safety. China has been stepping on everyone in the regions toes for a while now and the other countries are beginning to push back. And the fact that every country China is trying to bully is an ally of America is making those bullied countries wonder if America will live up to it's treaty obligations. If maobama is still in office, then they are right to be worried. The man has the backbone of an earthworm to match the intelligence of a pet rock. Are we looking at another version of Armageddon here?
Talk about irony. The GOP headquarters has asked the IRS to investigate all the Tea party organizations to see if they still are eligible to keep their 501c3 tax status. Guess that means the GOP is as worried about the effect of the Tea party groups on their electability as the Democrats are. And it appears that the various efforts to starve the GOP of funds is working. Glenn Beck recently reported that he received a visit from a GOP big shot who asked him to stop telling the listeners not to fund the GOP any longer. Beck in effect and somewhat politely told him to kiss off. So, we got them on the run, don't let up on them. Either the GOP represents American and the Constitution or their just another arm of the Democrats. Let their actions speak louder then their words.
Finally Remington Arms has seen the light and is moving out of the anti-gun state, New York. They announced that they were moving production to a more friendly southern state, Alabama. And New York loses another 2,000+ jobs, as well as the taxes generated by Remington. Take that Gov. Cuomo.
Like yesterday I posted earlier then normal today, so if anything important happens before my beddy-bye time comes I'll add a second post. However I still am looking for feedback from the readers. If for no other reason then to assure me that I'm not writing for myself. So if the blog is helpful for you in any manner and you wish it to continue, you have to let me know. My e-mail address is listed several times in previous posts. So e-mail me with comments or questions, that way I won't feel so all alone.

Something new
This is a first for the blog, two posts in one day. The reason is I was just doing a little research on food supplies and found some interesting, read almost scary, facts that we all knew about but that hadn't been put together before.
CA, or as I prefer to call it, The People's Republic of CA, is undergoing the worst drought in recorded history. Over 1 half million acres will go unplanted this year due to the lack of rain. The Sierra snow that CA depends on for water is at 15% of it's usual amount and the aquafilers that farmers use to water their crops is so depleted that the soil above them has dropped over a foot so far. And that means that even if it does rain, the aquafilers won't be able to fill up to the levels they were before. As an added potential problem, archeologiests digs show that long term droughts have happened in CA before and sometimes last over 200 years! So what you might ask and the answer is that CA is THE BIGGEST GROWER of fruits and vegetables in the country. Depending on the crop, CA supplies anywhere from 60% to 97% of all produced in America. As example it produces 66% of all asparagus, 97% of all carrots, 60% of all peppers, etc. Add that to the ever shrinking cattle herds and that spells huge price increases and fewer selections at the local Piggly-Wigley store. Since 2005 chicken prices have risen 9.7%, beef has risen over 19% and pork a whopping 28% increase. Now think about what the increase in costs for your veggies will do to your food budget? And don't count on more imports to save our bacon, no pun intended. Countries like Panama, Costa Rica and Venizuala (SP?) are experiencing world class flooding that is making the crops rot in the field, China's rice crops are in grave danger due to the extreme cold weather there, England is suffering from extreme flooding that is allowing sea water to enter their fields and the salt water is poisoning them forever without time consuming and very expensive efforts to purify the soil and Chili is having a series of volcanic eruptions that is tossing ash onto the ground where the cattle are eating it and dying a long, painful death. So there will be little if any help from over seas for us, in fact I'd expect maobama to send our food there instead, which will further deplete the amount of food we'll be able to get from the store and raise the prices. Speaking of prices and the amount of money the average family has to buy food, the average income for American families hasn't risen in over 5 years, in fact its dropped about 5%.
My point in this is to get you to think about how your going to cope with the increase in costs. If you haven't begun building your long term food storage as yet, your way behind the curve. My advise is to get as much as you can, as quickly as you can before the prices go up any higher and pray that it will be enough. My group was planning a trial garden this spring to see how well our heritage seeds do in this climate, but I think we will need to expand that idea and go for a full-fledged garden and build up our canning supplies to cover what we grow. I'd suggest you think, and I mean think hard, about doing something similar in your neck of the woods.

Interesting day
First a correction to yesterdays post concerning the new army training center. My original info placed the taxpayer cost at $300M when the actual cost was just (?) $96M. It also said a church was used in this fake city while today it calls it a "mosque". However in the video of the training site put out by the army itself, the "mosque" looks surprisingly like a church seen across America in many small towns. Didn't know when had so many muslims in small town America.
Anyway, to get to todays main report. In an interview on Russia Today, Paul Craig Roberts, made some very interesting comments. Mr. Roberts was the Asst. Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan and the co-founder of Reaganomics. He says that the government was "misleading" Americans with many false numbers to try to prop up the citizens flagging faith in this administration. That the real unemployment is 23% and not the rigged 6.7% that the government wants you to believe. He also touched on the Fed's gold crisis, especially where it concerns the German gold that isn't there anymore. He maintains that the Fed used all the gold it had, American as well as foreign deposits to help prop up the American economy and that's why the Fed can't give Germany back even 20% of the gold given to it for safe keeping. Now if you or I agreed to hold something valuable for a friend, then turned around and sold that item for profit, invested the profits and kept them from the original owner, we'd be tried and convicted of theft and put away in prison for a long time. Mr. Roberts wonders why the same isn't being done to the Fed itself and the Fed CEO's who stole that gold in the first place. He thinks it's part of a grand plan to hide the fact that America, and the rest of the world by extension, is on the brink of economic failure due to the criminal activities by various government officials and the world banksters. To further that point consider the recent surge of banker deaths around the world that are credited to "natural causes, accidents, or suicide". This rash of deaths started just this year and covers many players at banks that are under investigation by senate committees for malfeasance, money/market manipulations and conspiracy to commit theft or insider trading.
1-11-14 A WSJ reporter who was hot on the trail of the story concerning the these big banks and their ties to various government bodies disappeared while working at the news room at the Dow. He had just text his wife that he would be leaving soon, but was never seen again.
1-26-14 A banker in Switzerland was found dead in his home for no apparent reason. Same day a banker, V.P. at Deutsche bank found dead, no reason given
1-27-14 The CEO of Tata Motors found dead in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand, supposedly by suicide. But he was attending a board meeting and the company was doing well
1-28-14 A J.P. Morgan V.P. "fell" from the top of the 38 story headquarters in London. He had also just text his girlfriend that he was done for the day and on his way home. Ruled a suicide
1-29-14 An investment banker in Tacoma Washington supposedly climbed a high fence and fell 45 feet to the roadway below, killing himself in a ruled suicide
2-3-14 A NYC banker who was an associate of the dead banker on 1-28-14 was found dead of unknown causes
2-6-14 This is the best one of all. The CEO and founder of Chicago Title was found dead in his garage. Death was cause by 7 or 8 "self inflicted wounds in his head and body from a NAIL GUN".
Again every one of these deaths and the missing reporter were involved in various bank shenanigans, either as conspirators, witness or investigator. Months before these deaths began they were predicted by "V, The Guerilla Economist" in an interview on the Steve Quayle site. He said on 11-20-13 that a cover up by the banksters would begin so they could cover their tracks and he repeated it on 1-10-14 just after the series of mysterious deaths started. Now the question we need answered and that NO ONE is asking is are they just a weird series of coincidences or a master plan to do damage control before their pet legislators are kicked out of office in Nov? I know my theory, but you need to research the facts yourself then make up your mind. We already have enough people trying to tell us what and how to think.
To further curl your hair (for those of us who still have hair) were any of you aware that there is an ongoing association between the big banks and various government agencies such as the CIA and, surprise, the NYPD? In the middle of lower Manhattan there is something called the "Lower Manhattan Security Coordination Center" that is run by the banks with the assistance of the CIA, yes the CIA is now OK'd to once again spy on Americans in country. It controls 2,000 cameras that cover the entire lower half of Manhattan. So anything and everything that happens there is seen and recorded. Makes it sort of tough for a whistle blower to get away with doing his civic duty doesn't it? The information gathered is shared with the CIA and the NYPD. Why the NYPD is anyone's guess. To further rile you up, the center was paid for with taxpayers dollars and the PAID agents of the CIA help these civilians run the center and help bolster their security, again all on our dime.
Now I know I am thought of by many people as a tin hat nut job who sees shadows where there aren't any. Maybe they are right and I am crazy, but I'm also a survivalist and that entails keeping both eyes and ears open all the time. Plus, I always stand by the old saying that where there is smoke, etc. And the road the country is being taken down by maobama and his posse tells me there is a lot of smoke someplace and we're just not being allowed to see it in it's entirety. In a different forum someone posted that the recent huge ammo buys by various government agencies make perfect sense and anyone who sees something sinister in it is basically a scaredy-cat. My response was that the ammo buys alone weren't what made the hair in the back of my neck stand up, it was the ammo buys with the armored vehicles buy, with the cancellation of the Constitution along all our borders and so on that scares the schumer out of me. Too many strange and unexplained things happening much too close together to suit me.
In keeping with my promise to keep survivalism alive and well in this blog, here are todays tips. They cover needed antibiotics we should all have on hand for the diseases that WILL follow the collapse that we all know is coming. Diseases that we thought were gone forever are starting to make a comeback and they're worse then ever. Tuberculosis, dysentery, pandemic flu like avain flu, even the bubonic plague is still around and we need to be prepared to counter act it if/when it hits one of us. So here is a list of recommended drugs we all should have for such an occurrence.
1. Tamaflu, when the bird flu first made it's appearance years ago that was the recommended treatment and as far as I am aware, it's still the best answer to one of the worst killers after bubonic plague. If you doubt that, think back to the outbreak of "Spanish" flu that hit the world in 1919 and killed over 20M worldwide, including 2M here in the states.
2. Penicillin, still the all around answer to most diseases. Good for strep or pneumococcal infections, anaerobic infections, and above the diaphragm problems like abscessed teeth. The problem is that it's been over prescribed so much that many infections have become resistant to it.
3. Ampicillin or Amoxicillin, good for urinary, ear and lower respiratory infections Staph infections are mostly resistant to it though.
4. Erythromycin, mostly for pneumonia or strept throat.
5. Tetracycline, good for plague, other insect borne infections, urinary infections, bronchitis, some VD. Pregnant women and small children should not use this drug due to it's potential side effects. A better more expensive version is Doxycycline has fewer side effects and is absorbed better the tetracycline but it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun.
6. Chloramphenicol, good for typhoid, anaerobic infections, rickets disease, and meningitis. However it has caused deaths by aplastic anemia in 1 out of 50,000 patients, so some companies have stopped making it.
There are several other drugs that could be of use in a SHTF situation, but they are not available other then by prescription. The above mentioned drugs can be purchased thru various pet or farm animal supply houses in animal grades. Don't be alarmed by the animal grade either. It is manufactured by the same companies that make human grade drugs, but are usually of a courser grade or in different dosage sizes. Most will come from suppliers for pet fish and are the exact same pills that your doctor would order for you, just at a fraction of the cost and NO prescription is required. As for drugs like penicillin, that is bought at farm stores like Farm and Fleet. This is injectable penicillin and is the courser version requiring a larger needle and that will hurt more then the standard human sized needle. But a little more pain is a small price to pay for your health. My point is that these needed drugs are available at a reasonable price and without having to lie to or beg from your doctor. That has taken on a more urgent priority under obamacare with the reporting requirements contained in it.
BTW, you can get other medical items at Farm and Fleet type stores beside penicillin. They also sell a blood clotting solution like quik clot that's used when they dehorn cattle and the athletic tape that sticks only to itself that is used to wrap around the ankles of horses, but can be used to hold a gauze pad over a wound. So take a walk thru your local farm store and see what else they have, at a lower price then human quality items, that you can use.

In keeping with my promise to keep survivalism alive and well in this blog, here are todays tips. They cover needed antibiotics we should all have on hand for the diseases that WILL follow the collapse that we all know is coming. Diseases that we thought were gone forever are starting to make a comeback and they're worse then ever. Tuberculosis, dysentery, pandemic flu like avain flu, even the bubonic plague is still around and we need to be prepared to counter act it if/when it hits one of us. So here is a list of recommended drugs we all should have for such an occurrence.
1. Tamaflu, when the bird flu first made it's appearance years ago that was the recommended treatment and as far as I am aware, it's still the best answer to one of the worst killers after bubonic plague. If you doubt that, think back to the outbreak of "Spanish" flu that hit the world in 1919 and killed over 20M worldwide, including 2M here in the states.
2. Penicillin, still the all around answer to most diseases. Good for strep or pneumococcal infections, anaerobic infections, and above the diaphragm problems like abscessed teeth. The problem is that it's been over prescribed so much that many infections have become resistant to it.
3. Ampicillin or Amoxicillin, good for urinary, ear and lower respiratory infections Staph infections are mostly resistant to it though.
4. Erythromycin, mostly for pneumonia or strept throat.
5. Tetracycline, good for plague, other insect borne infections, urinary infections, bronchitis, some VD. Pregnant women and small children should not use this drug due to it's potential side effects. A better more expensive version is Doxycycline has fewer side effects and is absorbed better the tetracycline but it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun.
6. Chloramphenicol, good for typhoid, anaerobic infections, rickets disease, and meningitis. However it has caused deaths by aplastic anemia in 1 out of 50,000 patients, so some companies have stopped making it.
There are several other drugs that could be of use in a SHTF situation, but they are not available other then by prescription. The above mentioned drugs can be purchased thru various pet or farm animal supply houses in animal grades. Don't be alarmed by the animal grade either. It is manufactured by the same companies that make human grade drugs, but are usually of a courser grade or in different dosage sizes. Most will come from suppliers for pet fish and are the exact same pills that your doctor would order for you, just at a fraction of the cost and NO prescription is required. As for drugs like penicillin, that is bought at farm stores like Farm and Fleet. This is injectable penicillin and is the courser version requiring a larger needle and that will hurt more then the standard human sized needle. But a little more pain is a small price to pay for your health. My point is that these needed drugs are available at a reasonable price and without having to lie to or beg from your doctor. That has taken on a more urgent priority under obamacare with the reporting requirements contained in it.
BTW, you can get other medical items at Farm and Fleet type stores beside penicillin. They also sell a blood clotting solution like quik clot that's used when they dehorn cattle and the athletic tape that sticks only to itself that is used to wrap around the ankles of horses, but can be used to hold a gauze pad over a wound. So take a walk thru your local farm store and see what else they have, at a lower price then human quality items, that you can use.
