The
Importance of Owning Precious
Metals
If you have ever heard of someone
who
has invested in precious metals such as gold or silver you might have
wondered why they would ever do that. This is not an uncommon
inquiry, because all too many people are simply in the dark about the
benefits of investing in and owning precious metals. More...
Special - Exploring the Mysteries Section:
Occult?
What does it mean?
For
most this word brings to mind
something evil, but in truth it is taken from the Latin word
“Ocultus”,
meaning to hide or hidden. More...
Learning the Mysteries
The
aim of all secret societies is and
has been the creation of a philosophic society – in better words, a
Philadelphia (city of brotherly love). However the truth is that
most secret societies have keep the “SECRETS” to themselves under
the premise that they alone should be the keepers of the sacred
truths and that these secrets should be kept from the prying eyes of
the “vulgar” (common people). This was done, by their own words,
to keep societal order, but has degenerated into an elite sector that
use the sacred truths to their own evil ends, having long ago
forgotten the original tenets of the profound truths of which they
stand as self proclaimed guards. So jealous of their secrets, they
only pass them on to those who, under the threat of death by gruesome
means, promise to secure their safekeeping. More...

The General Strike for Productive Independence
The need is clear for anarchists to
become productively independent in the effort to cut the necessity to
remain in the constructs of capitalism and hierarchy. The reason why
black bloc has failed to accomplish autonomy from the state is
because, this tactic requires being somewhere in which that voice
can be heard. But in these major cities, there are rules that you
must follow, form legal pressure and natural pressure. In these
environments, what ever goods, that must be surcharged out of
necessity, must come from exploitive capitalism because there is no
other way of obtaining needed goods in places where protesting is
worth doing. Protesting can not provide a solution because protesters
have to be sustained by the products of capitalism. Cyclical
consumption is then, not the enemy of activists, it is the means. More...
Not 99%
 You
shout this at the top of your lungs as if you know what it means.
Although, if you are really are rebelling – that is cutting yourself
from the cord of tyrants – you are most certainly not 99% of the
population. 99% may not be implementing the agenda of psychopaths,
but 99% of us are also not necessarily doing anything about it. If
the odds really did add up to that, the real counter-world would not
have the challenge we do to get the real 99% away from the plasma
screen for more than ten minutes to look at what the government that
represent them are doing. They do NOT represent me and they do NOT
represent you if you can read this without cognitive dissonance. More.,.
 The Kitchen Sink Is Here Important Information
-- Share This!
With
all that is going on now, it
brings to mind something I was told by a friend 15 years ago: when
you see a kitchen sink fly by your face you'll know that the end is
near. What brings it to mind is that I could swear I just noticed a
kitchen sink fly past my face. More...
When did the Truth Go Out of Style?
 For
some reason, in the last decade it was entirely more popular to
discuss 9/11 truth than it is now. Recently, it's been very rarely
brought up among even the alternative media, even with the likes of
Alex Jones and his Infowars. Organizations like this deserve a
lot of credit for starting the fires in the earlier half of the first
decade of the 21st century. However, lately motivation for ad revenue
seems to have overtaken motivation for exposing the truth and once
again, 9/11 truth is not mentioned as much as it deserves. More...
It's Not About the Guns
As
(hopefully) all of you reading
this
will know, the Second Amendment of The Constitution protects
Americans' rights to have weapons (arms) to defend themselves against
a tyrannical, out-of-control government. Please note that it does
not GIVE
Americans the right to have weapons. It protects
that right, which is �€œinalienable�€�, meaning that the right is
inherent in human beings by the fact of their existence on earth, as
described in the Declaration of Independence. The Amendment is not
about having a gun with which to hunt or skeet-shoot, or shoot in
competitions of marksmanship. It is about defense against
tyranny. More...
 The New Inquisition
�€œNo
one expects the American
Inquisition�€� (apologies to Monty Python). The Spanish Inquisition
was said to be the worst time in the history of humanity, culminating
in the Dark Ages, a time when man's forward evolution was stifled by
fear. When all is said and done, it may be viewed as a �€œcakewalk�€�
compared to today. There are striking similarities between that era
of ignorance, pain and bloodshed and cause for hiding one's true
beliefs, and now. More...
Breakin' Away
We hear
from many people that they are �€œstuck in their jobs�€� and feel
that they will be trapped in that rat race forever, afraid to join
the growing ranks of the unemployed and those displaced from their
homes. They believe that they will forever �€“ or as long as the
current paradigm holds out �€“ have to face that daily commute, with
their income fixed by whatever future raises of which their employers
feel they are worthy. But we are here to tell you that there are many
ways to free yourself from that grind. More...
Guest
Post: An Open Letter to the President from an Ordinary Citizen
Mr. President:
The dreadful massacre at Sandy Hook has resulted in much posturing and

careful as you decide what measures you will take in response. Do not
awaken the sleeping giant. More...
No Apology Needed
As we have been offering the

wish they could join us, but just can't leave their current family
obligations. Sometimes there is a spouse who is physically ill,
sometimes their loved ones just don't �€œget it�€�. Besides
expressing their deep longing to live the way we do �€“ personally
free and self-sufficient �€“ they give us their apologies for not
being able to join us. No apology needed. More...

Plan for Redundancy. Plan for
Redundancy.
Once
you have lived the survivalist
life �€“ boots on the ground, so to speak -- you come to a bedrock
realization that certain things were never made to be used long-term.
Unfortunately, many of the tools and devices we've become accustomed
to using fall into this category. Things like generators, electric
well pumps, things that require propane gas, gasoline or diesel fuel
are all on the road to becoming your next big disappointment when
you actually have lived this way for a while. More...
Well, well -- and hand pumps!
One of the
most common
questions we get is, "Is there an easy, economical and sensible way to
get water out of a well?" Watch these videos and find out! More...
 Yes
�€“ You ARE What You Eat
If
you are wondering how it has been so easy for TPTB to have turned the
overwhelming majority of American population into sheep who believe
everything they are told and comply with outrageous demands and
actions, it is partly because they have been replacing our good,
healthy, natural foods with foods laced with poisons for decades.

Don't
Fight the System
 As
of Nov. 15th, 2012, all 50 states had petitions in place
to secede from the �€œUnion�€�. Some of the alternative news media

charge. More...
The
Illusion Laid Bare
If you are waiting
for the economic
collapse, you're too late �€“ it's already happened. And it's TWCTM
(Those Who Control the Money) who did it. They pulled the rug right
out from under themselves. We are living in a world of complete
economic fantasy, using
numbers that are unfathomable,
unconscionable, and un-repayable. More...
What Are You
Holding On To?
Tell
me what actual benefit you receive
from living the �€œnormal�€� lifestyle �€“ a 2 hour commute to work
each day, spending 8 hours in a corporate cubicle that removes your
individuality and creativity, to receive a paycheck from which the
government has taken its huge and undeserved bite leaving almost
enough to cover your bills and expenses �€“ just so that you can
live in the kind of house and drive the kind of car that your friends
and relatives think you should live in and be driving. More...
 Don't
Bring �€œThe Outside World�€� With You
Many
people we've met who claim they want the survivalist lifestyle are in

peoples' current lifestyle and mindset. More...
The
Perfect Bug-Out Bag
For
some of you this is going to be critical �€“ those of you who
are JIC's (�€œjust in case-ers�€�) or those of you who plan on

survival location. More...
 Advice to the
Would be
Survivalist
Nine
out of ten people we've met who expressed an interest in being a
survivalist or prepper, frankly, did not know their own mind. Like
at the poker table, to win you must either be all in, or don't bother
playing. You can't get to home plate if you keep one foot on third
base.

In 2001 Epicyte Corporation isolated a protein that causes
sterility and spliced its gene into corn so that men and women eating
the corn would become sterile. They sold that technology to Monsanto
and to DuPont. To date No Congressman, No Senator and No Presidential
candidate has dared ask Monsanto, DuPont and Epicyte what they are
doing with that Genetically Modified corn that sterilizes us and our
children. More...
 Some people in the
scientific community speak of �€œgenetic memory�€�, also known as
racial memory. This is the way in which a person's DNA can be
permanently altered by external, psychological forces. This change �€“
and its emotional effect �€“ is then carried forward to the next
generations. There are genetic fears implanted deeply within us by
which we are manipulated on a daily basis. It is also possible to be
free of these fears and loosen the controls under which you live.

Get a Job
 Our
commitment to living the
survivalist lifestyle includes living so far off the beaten path as
to make a daily commute to work impractical to say the least. And
so, in monetary terms, we have been living on just a few hundred
dollars a year. Someone, not understanding the essence of survivalism,
suggested recently that we �€œget a job.�€� For their
sake, as well as anyone else out there who thinks that living a
survivalist life means transferring your suburban life to another
location, here is my job description and �€œpayment�€�: More...
The
Reality of Anarchy
 The
word for today
is
�€œanarchy�€�. Some of you are now visualizing massive destruction
and the most violent acts of civil disobedience imaginable. The Free
Dictionary defines anarchy as:
1.
Absence of any
form of political authority. 2. Political disorder and confusion. 3.
Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.
Anarchy is the
culture of
defiance, theft, violence, murder �€“ even support for �€œlibertarian�€�
candidates. Let's look at where the anarchistic traits truly lay in
today's society. More...
What
We
Gave Up
America taught the
world
to be manufacturers. We honored the ingenuity of those who sparked

nice place with the wages they were paid. But we gave it up. More...

Rising Voices
vs. Raised Voices
 Twenty five or so
years ago, when
we
were wading through heaps of hard-copy books on religions, aliens,
secrete societies and such, there were precious few others who
understood �€“ let alone would bother to research �€“ what was going
on and where we as a society/culture were going. Basically, people
we could talk with about this were few and far between. More...
The first thing to catch my eye in
this
book was the dedication: �€œI dedicate this book to those who seek
the natural and gentle approach to a healthy lifestyle.
�€� That
impressed me because it is the approach we use. I especially liked
the use of the word �€œgentle�€�. More...

Hostess Cupcake (which I normally never eat) as a lunch treat. It

I
remember when I was little how good foods used to taste.
Reeses peanut butter cups used to be good too, now they taste like
detergent. Fruits and vegatables used to be crisp and juicey, now
they�€™re mushy and dry. Dorito�€™s used to be a favorite of mine, now

OK
So Far
On our

Preppers/Survivalists. In the course of these contacts we've met
lots of different types of people and that gives me hope for the
future. We've been amazed how many people are waking up, as compared
to 25+ years ago �€“ when there was no one we could talk to!
Some
people who have contacted us are sincerely looking for
information on how to prep, while others are looking for an excuse not to prep. Then there
is another type
of person considering prepping. These people remind me of an old
story about the Empire State Building... More...
Communication
Items You'll Want Before TSHTF �€“ Part 3
  We
had no idea when we wrote the past two parts of this article on radio
gear for when TSHTF, that they were going to
be so very popular. Most
peoples' concerns are based in the fear that they will loose all
contact with loved ones, as well as how to get first hand, unfiltered
news. Having good communication equipment �€“ and knowing how to use
it �€“ can put those fears to rest. Let's continue to learn how to
communicate after chaos has hit, the Internet (and maybe the entire
power grid) is down and you want to know what's going on. More...
I'm sure if you are familiar with the
name Nicola Tesla you have read enough articles extolling the genius
that he was. He was the inventor of Alternating Current (AC), the
radio (Marconi used Tesla's plans and experiment notes), florescent

inventions of this man's genius. What we are going to talk about
today is one of the master's little noticed inventions, �€œThe Tesla
Ground Wave Antenna�€�, the perfect antenna for the survivalist on a
tight budget (and who isn't!?!?!). More...

Items You'll Want Before TSHTF - Part 1
Having
good radio equipment is important for many reasons. What will you do
when there is no Internet? What will you do when there is no
cellphone service? How will you know what's going on in other parts
of the country, let alone the world? Radio signals don't need an
intermediary, they just bounce all over the earth and are received by
radios. It's
not even necessary that you transmit (speak) on the radio, but the
information you can garner from just listening to others from far
away is worth the time it takes to understand how to use a radio. More...
Self-Reliance
Doesn't Have to Mean Being By Your Self
Its
been a long, strange trip. We
didn't grow up on a farm. We grew up in the city, a walk away from
the grocery store,  schools
and friends. Our only training about
self-reliance was that we were self-employed, but the business world
was and is very different from knowing how to plant, how to cook with
wood, how to milk and butcher a goat, or how to build a house.
We've
come a looooong way from those
days. We've been counting only on ourselves for the last few years
and we've learned so much in that time �€“ mostly through trial and
error. We've built four houses... More...

Things
to Like About Being a Survivalist
It safe to say that
if you live
off the
grid in the wilderness your lifestyle is very different from the
urban/suburban day-to-day. We've replaced driving to work, working
in a cubicle all day, driving home so tired that after dinner all the
energy that is left goes into watching TV, with full days of physical
labor that may tire the body but invigorates the soul. More...
Would You
Recognize Kindness If You Saw It?
 Do you sit in traffic
on the morning
commute trying to get an inch ahead of the next guy, while he's
trying to get an inch ahead of you? Would you consider fighting
someone for a would-be holiday gift on Thanksgiving shopping day? Do
you have to endeavor to keep your work noticed so that you get the
promotion instead of your co-worker getting it? Are you sleepless
many nights because your income doesn't quite cover your outgo? Are
you so used to the dog-eat-dog world that you unconsciously nip at
everyone around you? More...
One
in a Million
One in a million
spouses,
that is, would dare live the survivalist/self-sufficient lifestyle.
The thought came to me as I watched my wife, Sheila, sweep the
plywood floors of our hacienda style house and thought to myself, how
many wives would even consider living this way? The plywood floors
will be replaced next spring with tapped clay floors �€“ and that
will present its own challenges �€“ but really, when you break it
down, how many of us have a spouse who would even for minute
consider the self-sufficient, minimalist life style? Truth is, maybe
1 in a million. More...

site that said �€œCelebrate

Fear
Itself
If we were to
pinpoint the one
pervasive emotion in society today, it would be fear. People all
around you are fearful of almost everything. They fear the police. They
fear the IRS, ATF, TSA and all the other �€œalphabet police�€�. They fear
losing their job. They fear loosing their house. They
fear their city or town government. And they fear the mother of them
all �€“ fear of continuing life without enough money to maintain
their current lifestyle (or at least the one the remember from a
decade ago). Most people rationalize these fears as normal because
�€œeveryone has them�€�. More...
Home-Grown
Humanity
I
was recently asked �€œ Do you know how lucky you are never having

The

expectation to encounter those attached to the ball and chain of the corporate world who would of course look down on
anyone not suffering
among them �€“ misery loves company. You are somehow repugnant to
them if you show justifiable fear of the clutches of their
world. To be reminded by an external source that you have made the
right decision can be a relief, as world events should make
abundantly clear soon enough. More...
Will

Living

As my third book this month, I happened to pick the Leon Uris novel,
QB VII, written in the 1970s, when there was still something to be
proud about in America, and when there were still enough people
around who could remember the horrors of WWII.
The story
takes place in post-WWII England, and is about a libel suit brought
by a Polish Nationalist doctor (Kelno), a former POW in Jadwiga
concentration camp, against a Jewish-American author (Cady) who names
him as performing surgeries for German doctors who were experimenting
on Jewish prisoners.
This is part of the opening statement

Choosing
a Chief
As the
nation readies to choose a leader, to
choose the
one �€œon top�€� of the country, forget about the choices you have
been given and consider what the criteria for a leader should
be. Here's a concept to consider: Being on top means you serve
others.
Many Native American
tribes choose a new
chief by determining who has done the most for the tribe. Who has
given the most to the tribe, in time, labor, courage? Who has taken
in the most orphaned children, taken care of the most widows, given
his plate of food to a hungry mouth? Who has done these things
without thought of compensation for doing them? This is the one who
knows the right path to follow, the path on which to lead the
people. More...
The
Coincidence Theorist
In
my humble opinion, Michael Tsarion (michaeltsarion.com) is a
brilliant researcher and teacher of the history of history. He
explains in
great detail how we all got here. In a lighter moment
of one of his speeches, he said this, �€œI don't mind being called a
conspiracy theorist �€“ if you don't mind being called a 'coincidence
theorist'!�€� It made me chuckle. And then it made me think. It
made me think how true it is that they are just two sides of the same
coin. More...
A Day in the Real

Thank
you for the wonderful response to

up to:
Woke
up at 4:00 a.m. because a pack of
coyotes was howling too close to the chicken coop and we had to let
the dog out to protect them. Then we went back to sleep to the sound
of the dog barking. Well, okay.
That's not exactly a daily happening, but it did happen �€“

An
Unusual Perspective
Some may call it a
self imposed exile,
but several years ago we separated ourselves from so-called
�€œsociety�€�. It's a 90 minute ride to even get to a town from
here, mostly across dirt ranch road, some of it �€œprimitive�€�
(white knuckles). About a year ago, our Ford Bronco died, and we got
swindled out of $3000 for a replacement truck that...well, long
story, but suffice it to say we haven't had a vehicle since then. We
haven't left the ranch in about a year. The handful of times we had
visitors since then, they have been so kind as to bring us up some
small amount of groceries for a �€œtreat�€� or two, but we gained
something very special in that time �€“ perspective.

8 Deadly
Myths About Survival
For
the last several years, our family �€“ Dan, our son Jesse and I �€“
have been living what some may call the �€œsurvivalist�€� lifestyle.
Actually, we live the off-grid (so far off the grid that there is no
land line and no cell phone service available), self-sufficient life.
We're not here to get away from the world for a few days while chaos
happens and calms down �€“ we don't think that's the way it will go,
anyway. We're here because we have chosen to separate ourselves from
the rate race, the system, and not be swept away in the tide of what
we see as society running amok. This is not a temporary lifestyle to
us, it's a wonderfully peaceful, sometimes difficult and always
rewarding life. More...

This morning
I heard an excerpt from a speech by Mr. Obama in which he said that
he was as for the 2nd amendment as anyone,
because he
understood that it's an American tradition to hunt and shoot, but
that you don't need an AK47 to do that. Well, that's not what the
