Darkness Descends over the Internet Via the U.N.

If you want to have the all seeing eye monitoring your every activity and controlling all of the content that you will see just let then gain control over the Internet.  Right now the U.S. Congress is considering that and somehow it seems plausible that it will happen.  Let us hope not for the sake of our children and their children.  First off, the U.S. built the Internet from beginning to end so why should we pass it over to some foreign entity.  If you asked a dimwit like Carter he might think it's a good idea, sorta like giving up the Panama Canal.  Only a world improving fool would have seen the benefit of that.  So check this out and see what the one world crowd has in mind.  I say no to this.

Economic Collapse Update

Here is a great prediction about our coming financial turmoil with specifics.

Invest in metals, whether gold, silver, or lead.  Keep cash on hand, and your ears to the ground waiting for the rumble of a financial earthquake.  Hard assets, food, water, and weapons will get you through.

Cyber Attacks From China Increase our Risk

This could get out of hand and of course we have minimal defenses against it and are totally dependent on the grid and computer networks so a take-down would take us down.

Here is a great website for getting ballistic information on all types of ammunition.  Check it out.

People are Stashing their Cash at Home

Here is an article on those people now taking their money out of the bank and stashing it in a safe at home.  I know a number of people doing this to the point of taking much of their cash assets and hiding them at home.  Times have changed.

Solar Events Pose a Serious Risk to Our Way of LIfe

http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-solar-storms-20120505,0,6214500.story

For those of you that laugh at those who prepare for EMP attacks or solar storms that might destroy data or electrical equipment, here is a great article on the subject.  At a minimum I would try to put some protection in place for my electronic data by placing it in a Faraday cage.  Some have mentioned that a microwave oven could be useful as a storage location.  If you do that, make sure you unplug it.  I'm still now\t sure that would prevent a large electromagnetic pulse from somehow sending enough energy through to make the microwave dump some energy inside the box but it would be worth a try.  A better approach might be to use some type of grounded metal container. 

Here are some links for ways to build one.

This also proves that those who plan to sit out a grid collapse with oil lamps, firewood, propane, and some solar lighting might be ahead of the rest in terms of handling a solar storm.  We really don't know for sure how severely such an event could change our daily lives.

Stealing the Tide

Here is a sign of the times. Now they're stealing laundry soap to trade it for drugs.
