Preppers Will be Treated as Terrorists Says National Guard Whistleblower

Posted by Ed Corcoran News 3 Responses »

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”

(MelissaMelton) – So begins the Oath of Enlistment for the U.S. military, but in an explosive interview with a National Guard whistleblower shown below, soldiers are now being advised they will be ordered to break that oath should civil unrest erupt across the country.

Referred to only as “Soldier X” under promise of anonymity, an Army National Guardsman spoke via phone with Infowars Nightly News Producer Rob Dew regarding a recent briefing his unit underwent on actions the military would take in the event that an Obama election loss sparked rioting in America’s streets.

Citing not only recent widespread threats to riot if Mitt Romney were to become the next U.S. president, but threats to actually assassinate him should he win, Soldier X’s superiors dispensed plans of how the National Guard would be responsible for “taking over” and quelling such unrest.

The soldiers were reportedly told “Doomsday preppers will be treated as terrorists.”

In addition, guns will be confiscated.

“They have a list compiled of all these doomsday preppers that have gone public and they plan to go after them first,” Soldier X said. He claimed those in charge are acting under the belief that preppers will be “the worst part” of any potential civil unrest.

Soldier X was also told that any soldiers in the ranks who are known as preppers will be deemed “defects.” He explained the label meant these soldiers would be treated as traitors. “If you don’t conform, they will get rid of you,” he added.

Unit members also warned not to associate with any fellow soldiers who are preppers.

Not only does the military reportedly plan to target preppers should mass chaos break out, but Soldier X also voiced his concerns regarding civilian gun confiscation.

Soldier X admitted, “Our worry is that Obama’s gonna do what he said he’s gonna do and he’s gonna outlaw all weapons altogether and anybody’s name who is on a weapon, they’re gonna come to your house and try to take them.”

It would not be the first time the National Guard has been used to unconstitutionally disarm law-abiding citizens, robbing them of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, police and military took to the streets disarming lawful gun owners, including those who were on dry land and had plenty of stored food and water.

Fast forward to this past summer when a leaked Army manual dated 2006 entitled, “Civil Disturbance Operations” surfaced outlining plans not only to confiscate firearms domestically during mass unrest, but to actually detain and even kill American citizens who refuse to hand over their guns. This manual works in conjunction with “FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations,” another Army manual leaked this year, which instructs troops on how to properly detain and intern Americans into re-education camps, including ways that so-called “psy-op officers” will “indoctrinate” incarcerated “political activists” into developing an “understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.”

Add these manuals to the plethora of Executive Orders Obama has signed during his term which have dismantled our Constitution piece by piece, including the martial law implementing National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order which gives the president the power to confiscate citizens’ private property in the event of any national emergency, including economic.

Add all that to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in which Obama granted powers to disappear and indefinitely detain American citizens without any due process, and it is easy to see the tyrannical big picture our government has painted.

When asked if he would go along with gun confiscation, Soldier X replied he and his fellow like-minded guardsmen planned to stand down — not answer the phone or show up to post.

“I’m sorry but I don’t believe in suicide,” he said.

Preppers are becoming regular government targets these days, most recently when a Missisippi prepper group member with a clean record was suddenly taken off his flight halfway to Japan and informed he was on the no-fly list, an FBI terrorist watchlist, stranding him in Hawaii. Other preppers have been denied their Second Amendment rights without legitimate cause.

It is beyond glaringly obvious at this point the U.S. government is gearing up for mass civil unrest. Not only has the DHS sparked controversy by purchasing billions of rounds of ammo, but the department even went so far as to begin classifying further purchases, blacking out bullet figures it is using taxpayer money to buy.

In addition, while FEMA can procure a billion dollars in bulk food supplies, the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism project released a flier instructing military surplus store owners to report any customers who “make bulk purchases of items” including “meals ready to eat”.

Should society as we know it collapse following the election, it would seem the ultimate prepper and the ultimate terrorist is, indeed, the U.S. government.

What if We Had a System Where Banks Did Not Create Our Money?

Posted by Ed Corcoran News No Responses »

Oct 312012

I would imagine that most of my readers and listeners are hip to the fact that under our current system, the Federal Reserve and privately owned banks create money out of thin air and that’s the reason why our whole economy is unsustainable (and the reason why we are all slaves to debt), so I won’t go into much detail explaining it (if this is all news to you, this video does a great job explain how the whole criminal empire works).

So why don’t we have a system that puts the authority to create money back in the hands of the government? Put simply, the banksters who own this country would never allow that happen. However the IMF (International Monetary Fund) has issued a research paper proposing just that. The key here is education… There’s still millions of Americans who are blissfully unaware that their money is worthless and that they’re being robbed by private banks. If majority of Americans understood how this thieving enterprise works, then – in the words of Henry Ford - there would be revolution by tomorrow morning.

The foloowing comes to us from the EconomicCollapseBlog.com:

What if there was a financial system that would eliminate the need for the federal government to go into debt, that would eliminate the need for the Federal Reserve, that would end the practice of fractional reserve banking and that would dethrone the big banks? Would you be in favor of such a system? A surprising new IMF research paper entitled “The Chicago Plan Revisited” by Jaromir Benes and Michael Kumhof is making waves in economic circles all over the globe. The paper suggests that the world would be much better off if we adopted a system where the banks did not create our money. So instead of a system where more money is only created when more debt is created, we would have a system of debt-free money that is created directly by national governments. There have been others that have suggested such a system before, but to have an IMF research paper actually recommend that such a system be adopted is a very big deal. At the moment, the world is experiencing the biggest debt crisis in human history, and this proposal is being described as a “radical solution” that could potentially remedy some of our largest financial problems. Unfortunately, apologists for the current system are already viciously attacking this new IMF paper, and of course the big banks would throw a major fit if such a system was ever to be seriously contemplated. That is why it is imperative that we educate people about how money really works. Our current system is in the process of collapsing and we desperately need to transition to a new one.

One of the fundamental problems with our current financial system is that it is based on debt. Just take a look at the United States. The way our system works today, the vast majority of all money is “created” either when we borrow money or the government borrows money. Therefore, the creation of more money creates more debt. Under such a system, it should not be surprising that the total amount of debt in the United States is more than 30 times larger than it was just 40 years ago.

We don’t have to do things this way. There is a better alternative. National governments can directly issue debt-free currency into circulation. The following is a brief excerpt from the IMF report…

At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan: (1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations, sudden increases and contractions of bank credit and of the supply of bank-created money. (2) Complete elimination of bank runs. (3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt. (4) Dramatic reduction of private debt, as money creation no longer requires simultaneous debt creation. We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fisher’s claims.

Why should banks be allowed to create money?

That is a very good question.

Why should sovereign governments ever have to borrow money from anyone?

That is another very good question.

Our current system is designed to enrich the bankers and get everyone else into debt.

And is that not exactly what has happened?

Taking the creation of money away from the bankers would have some tremendous advantages. A recent article by renowned financial journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard described some of these benefits…

One could slash private debt by 100pc of GDP, boost growth, stabilize prices, and dethrone bankers all at the same time. It could be done cleanly and painlessly, by legislative command, far more quickly than anybody imagined.

The conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money — roughly 97pc of the money supply — with state-created money. We return to the historical norm, before Charles II placed control of the money supply in private hands with the English Free Coinage Act of 1666.

Specifically, it means an assault on “fractional reserve banking”. If lenders are forced to put up 100pc reserve backing for deposits, they lose the exorbitant privilege of creating money out of thin air.

The nation regains sovereign control over the money supply. There are no more banks runs, and fewer boom-bust credit cycles.

So why don’t we go to such a system immediately?

Well, the transition to such a system would undoubtedly be a major shock to the global financial system, and most people try to avoid significant short-term pain even if there are tremendous long-term benefits.

More importantly, however, is that the bankers have a tremendous amount of power in our society today, and they would move heaven and earth to keep a debt-free monetary system from ever being implemented.

You see, the influence of the bankers is not just limited to the big banks. Our largest financial institutions (and the people who own them) also have large ownership stakes in the vast majority of the big Fortune 500 corporations. In essence, the big banks are at the very pinnacle of “the establishment” in the United States and in almost every other major country in the western world.

And the vast majority of all political campaigns are funded by “the establishment”. It takes an enormous amount of money to win campaigns these days, and most politicians are extremely hesitant to bite the hands of those that feed them.

So don’t expect any changes to happen overnight.

One proposal that has actually been put forward in Congress is to cancel all of the government debt that the Federal Reserve is currently holding. Right now, the Fed is holding more than 1.6 trillion dollars of U.S. government debt…

That would seem to make a lot of sense. That would immediately wipe more than 1.6 trillion dollars from the U.S. national debt without any real harm being done.

But “the establishment” would be horrified if such a thing happened, so I wouldn’t anticipate it happening any time soon.

Hopefully we can get the American people (along with people all over the globe) educated about these things so that we can start to get millions of people pushing for change.

A debt-free monetary system is superior to a debt-based monetary system in so many ways.

For example, if the U.S. government directly spent debt-free money into circulation, it could conceivably never need to borrow a single dollar ever again. If the government wanted to spend more money than it brought in, it would simply print it up and spend it.

Of course the big danger with that would be inflation. That is why it would be imperative for there to be a hard cap on what the government could spend. For example, you could set the cap on spending by the federal government at 20 percent of GDP. That way we would never end up looking like the Weimar Republic.

And the current federal debt could be paid down a little at a time using newly created debt-free dollars. This would have to be done slowly to keep inflation under control, but it could be done.

That way we would not hand a 16 trillion dollar debt to our children and our grandchildren. We created this mess so we should clean it up.

Theoretically you could also do away with the federal income tax if you wanted to. Personally, I would like to see the federal government be funded to a large degree by tariffs on foreign goods. That would also have the side benefit of bringing millions of jobs back into the United States.

Our system of income tax collection is just so incredibly inefficient. It costs us mind boggling amounts of time and money. Just consider the following stats from one of my previous articles…

1 - The U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long. If you took all of William Shakespeare’s works and collected them together, the entire collection would only be about 900,000 words long.

2 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 7.6 billion hours complying with federal tax requirements. Imagine what our society would look like if all that time was spent on more economically profitable activities.

3 - 75 years ago, the instructions for Form 1040 were two pages long. Today, they are 189 pages long.

4 - There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code over the last decade. It is incredibly costly to change tax software, tax manuals and tax instruction booklets for all of those changes.

5 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, the IRS currently has 1,999 different publications, forms, and instruction sheets that you can download from the IRS website.

6 - Our tax system has become so complicated that it is almost impossible to file your taxes correctly. For example, back in 1998 Money Magazine had 46 different tax professionals complete a tax return for a hypothetical household. All 46 of them came up with a different result.

7 - In 2009, PC World had five of the most popular tax preparation software websites prepare a tax return for a hypothetical household. All five of them came up with a different result.

8 - The IRS spends $2.45 for every $100 that it collects in taxes.

For long stretches of our history the United States did not have any income tax, and during those times we thrived. It is entirely conceivable that we could return to such a system.

At this point, the wealthy have become absolute masters at hiding their wealth from taxation. According to the IMF, a total of 18 trillion dollarsis currently being hidden in offshore banks. What we are doing right now produces very inequitable results and it is not working.

In many ways, inflation would be a much fairer “tax” than the income tax because inflation taxes each dollar equally. Nobody would be able to cheat the system.

But if people really love the IRS and the federal income tax, we could keep them under a debt-free money system. I just happen to think that the IRS and the federal income tax are both really bad ideas that have never served the interests of the American people.

In any event, hopefully you can see that there is a much broader range of solutions to our problems than the two major political parties have been presenting to us.

We do not have to allow the banks to create our money.

The federal government does not have to go into more debt.

We don’t actually need the Federal Reserve.

There are alternatives to the federal income tax and the IRS.

Yes, it is very true that no system would be perfect. But clearly the path that we are on is only going to lead to disaster. U.S. government finances are a complete and total nightmare, and this mountain of debt that we have accumulated is going to absolutely destroy us if we allow it to.

So somebody out there should be proposing a fundamental change in direction for our financial system.

Unfortunately, our politicians are just proposing more of the same, and we all know where that is going to lead.

Many of us know all too well how the Federal Reserve, banks and our debt-based economy works, but there are many more who are still asleep. This animated video is a simple explanation of why we are all slaves to the fiat monetary system and the victims of theft through inflation. Pleas share this video with anyone who hasn’t woken up yet.

They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it…

Potential Post-Election Violence Survival Tips

Posted by Ed Corcoran News No Responses »

Oct 272012

By Robert Rowe

It seems that there is some concern about how events are going to play out after the election. November 7th is going to be an interesting day across this nation. If Obama loses, there are threats of mass violence and civil unrest across the nation. So I just wanted to take a moment to put this in perspective for people who are fearing the worst.

It is most likely that any violence will take place in the most heavily populated cities in the country. Along the Eastern Seaboard, the West Coast and some of the large metropolitan areas inland is where most of the rioting will likely take place. The police forces in these areas are stretched thin and the sheer numbers of people who are likely to participate in such activities can easily overcome any show of force local law enforcement can provide. When you have a few thousand police squaring off against tens of thousands of rioters, it is unlikely the police are going to do much other than stand back and watch. They have their own safety to consider.

Smaller cities with less dense and more sprawling populations are likely to see little to no violence. These cities, if they see any violence at all, will likely experience isolated pockets of rioting or other civil disturbance. The police forces in these areas are more likely to deal with these incidences and should be able to keep control of the streets and neighborhoods.

Small towns, villages and hamlets are not likely to see any violence at all. There may be small pockets of protesting to be dealt with, but probably not violence or rioting. The reason for this is two-fold. The first is that the people of these rural townships tend to have a larger population of armed citizens. It is unlikely that any people wishing to participate in rioting will take the chance of an armed confrontation with their neighbors. Second, everyone knows each other in these towns. If you start to burn down “Bob’s Garage” somebody is going to see you and know who you are. If “Bob” doesn’t come after you himself, the local constable or sheriff probably will.
If you live in a heavily populated urban area, first, I urge you to not participate in any violent activities. This will serve no practical purpose other than destroy your neighborhoods and give the government the reason it needs to perform some very controversial and unconstitutional actions. If violence does erupt in these heavily populated areas, it is guaranteed that there will be a heavy toll paid by civilians and law enforcement. This does not need to happen. We don’t want this to happen.

Secondly, if you can get out of your city to visit friends in non-urban areas, you should do this a few days before election night. Take food, water and other provisions with you so as not to be a burden on your friends should your stay become prolonged. The safest place for inner city people, should violence erupt, is anywhere but the cities or suburbs.

If it is not possible for you to leave for a safer environment, I urge you to just hunker down and do what you need to in order to protect yourself and your family if violence should come to your neighborhood or door. If necessary, barricade your doors and board up your windows. If you see violence erupting near your house, even a mattress leaned up against your window will offer some protection. If this is not possible, remain, as much as is practical, close to a protected inner area of your house. A hallway or room without windows offer at least some protection if someone should throw a rock through a window.

Have several days’ worth of water stored. If you cannot afford to purchase bottled water from your local market, clean and thoroughly rinse your bathtub then fill it up with water. This will keep you in emergency water for a few days. If you have bleach available, put a small amount in the stored water to keep it clean and drinkable.

Canned and freeze-dried food will be your best bet should the violence become prolonged and you cannot leave your house. It is possible that during these events you will lose electric service to your house. Having a large supply of canned foods available may make the difference between life and death in the event of a long term emergency situation.

Keep yourself warm. If you remain indoors, blankets and heavy clothing will be your primary source of maintaining warmth if the electricity should fail. Usually, this will be sufficient IF YOU REMAIN INDOORS and keep your windows and doors closed. Don’t try to use a kerosene or other type of burning fuel heater. These produce toxic fumes that will kill you if you don’t have adequate ventilation. If you have a wood burning stove or a fireplace, use these sparingly. This will serve two purposes: first to keep you and your charges warm on cold nights. Second, it lets potential looters and others know that there is someone in the house. People bent on destruction and violence will often not take the chance on confrontation and are more likely to pass you by.

This will also serve as a beacon to others who are without food, water and shelter. If they become desperate enough, they may try forcible entry into your house if they believe that you can be overcome and they can take your resources from you. This is a problem you are going to have to decide on how to handle based on your situation.

Rioting cannot be sustained for long periods of time. People need to eat, drink and sleep. Therefore, it is very unlikely that prolonged rioting will take place beyond a few days or a week. As soon as it is safe to do so, seek to replenish your resources immediately. It may be that you have to endure more rioting in the near future. If you can evacuate to a safer location, do so. If you cannot, then replenishing your resources will be necessary for you and your family to survive.

Take note of your neighbors. See who is in need of medical attention and provide them with whatever aid you are able. Elderly and handicapped persons are particularly vulnerable during times of civil unrest. Since it is unlikely that emergency services will be available, it is up to you to take care of them as best you can. You are going to have to decide for yourself how long and how much aid you are willing to provide. If it is possible, organize your neighbors and take turns in keeping these people safe, warm and alive. If it is not possible, try to bring them into your own house where you can care for them better. If this is not possible, you are going to be faced with some hard decisions. Make sure you can live with whatever decision you make.

There are going to be times when you have to make decisions that could affect the survival of you or your family. The only advice I can give you is to MAKE a decision. Your decision may be wrong. Your decision may be right. You won’t know at the time you make your decision. But, make your decision and STICK with it. Decisiveness could be the difference in your survival or your death. If your decision is wrong, there will be opportunities to make new decisions to correct your situation. The important thing to remember, especially if you are in a leadership position, be that the head of a household, the person trying to lead people to safety or whatever, is that you MUST make a decision and you must STICK with that decision until circumstances prevent you from doing so. People will follow a person who makes bad decisions before they will follow a person who can’t make decisions.

Urban survival during civil unrest is, in many ways, more difficult than wilderness survival. If you take the basic steps I have outlined in this article, you will increase your chances of coming through safely greatly.
I sincerely hope acts of violence or rioting do not take place across the country. They will only serve to generate an atmosphere of hostility and distrust amongst the population. Injury and death will occur in large numbers causing innocent people to have to suffer for the acts of a few who cannot control their emotions enough to remain civilized.

I am asking all persons across the country to consider what little gain will be gotten from violence and rioting. The violence and rioting will not change the outcome of the election. If Romney or Johnson should win, that won’t change. That person will still have won. The only thing that changes is how much more difficult it will be for that person to repair the damage caused by rioters. Is it really worth it? In the end, the answer is, NO. There is NOTHING to be gained and EVERYTHING to lose. So, just don’t do it.

PANDA: Oakland County Michigan Defends Constitution Against NDAA

PANDA: Oakland County Michigan Defends Constitution Against NDAA

Earlier today, I got an email from our friend; Dan Johnson – founder of PANDA (People Against National Defense Authorization); in which, he passed along some good news in the battle against the most tyrannical piece of unconstitutional legislation in American history: the National Defense Authorization Act.

This is the way that tyranny will have to be fought… On the county and state level. Obama has too many federal judges in his back pocket to expect the judicial system to do anything to stop the warrantless, chargeless, indefinite detention and/or summary execution of American citizens!

By Dan Johnson

It has been said that the key to politics is persistence. In the fight against one of the most draconian laws in history, that persistence has definitely paid off.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) typically funds our national defense, including the military. It has been passed by Congress and signed by the President for 48 years now. While most previous versions have had little to no effect on America’s liberty or freedom, the 2012 NDAA destroys our Bill of Rights.

When the 2012 NDAA was being debated in the U.S. Senate, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said “Shut up! You don’t get a lawyer,” when speaking about those detained under those provisions.

Senator Graham’s statement perfectly summarizes the 2012 NDAA, which has been criticized by such a nonpartisan coalition as the Oathkeepers, ACLU, Patriot Coalition, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), and Cracked Magazine, and allows the President to order anyone, including a U.S. citizen, to be secretly arrested, never to see their family again, and be held indefinitely without due process of law (did I mention assassinated?)

Oakland County, Michigan, home to over 1.5 Million people and sitting in the heart of Southeast Michigan, has been described by groups from the Center for Digital Government and the National Association of Counties as one of the best run county governments in the nation. The Oakland County Commissioners proved they have earned that reputation on Thursday.

Two weeks ago, the General Government Committee of the Oakland County Commission held a hearing to consider the resolution in opposition to the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA. After hearing from People against the NDAA (PANDA) National, PANDA Bloomfield, the Michigan Tenth Amendment Center and Michigan Campaign for Liberty, along with individuals such as Anna Janek, Allegan County Commissioner Bill Sage and Congressional Candidate Don Valoric, the committee moved to vote on the resolution.

The resolution passed unanimously out of committee with a 9-0 vote.

On Thursday, PANDA returned to the Oakland County Commission to assist local residents in defending the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Dan Johnson and Dennis Marburger from PANDA, Dave Lonier, Mary MacMaster, Anna Janek, and the Michigan Tenth Amendment Center’s Shane Trejo all gave speeches describing the bipartisan coalition fighting this law, the effectiveness of civilian courts in combating terrorism, and urged the commission to nullify it.

The Commission then moved to vote on the consent agenda, which the resolution was a key part of. Commissioners Jim Runestad and Bill Sage, Congressional Candidates Kerry Bentivolio and Don Valoric, State Representative Tom McMillin, and all their supporters held their breath. The silence was deafening as each vote was counted off…

“Commissioner Gingell? ‘Aye’

Matis? ‘Aye’

Runestad? ‘Aye’

Potts? ‘Aye.’”

In a great victory for liberty, the Liberty Preservation Resolution was approved in a unanimous vote of 24-0.

The Resolution’s clear condemnation of any and all attempts by the General Government branch of our Federal system to kidnap or indefinitely detain Americans without charge or proper trial will now be communicated to our state and national office holders. This struggle is still just beginning and there is much work yet to be done. Nonetheless, this local success will be an important building block for constitutional governance.

Oakland County, which has a reputation for top-notch county government, joins Allegan County (which has the same reputation) as the second county in Michigan to take this principled stand. It is no accident that two counties well-known for good governance would be among the first to defend the rights of the people in Michigan.
The stakes have never been higher. We the People must choose between 1776 America and 1934 Germany. If we lose this fight, the Bill of Rights is destroyed, eight of which are eviscerated, and all rights granted by the Creator, for whose protection governments are supposedly formed, will be lost.
We are determined not to lose this fight.

We will take America back, we will restore our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and we will nullify the NDAA in every city, county, and state across America.

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:

“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because ‘truth crushed to earth will rise again.’”

Will Agenda 21 and Green Tyranny Force America to Choose Between Food and Electricity? Plus “Brushfire Plague” Author R.P. Ruggeiro

Posted by Ed Corcoran Show Archives No Responses »

Oct 252012

Will drastic energy legislation and Agenda 21 mandates, (as well as other “sustainable” initiatives) bring about a Third World America, where none but the wealthy can afford electricity? Where millions of Americans are forced to choose between food and heat? Where the majority of the population has to completely rely on the government for… everything? Ed explores this threat as well as the extremely under-reported issue of the coming solar maximum that no one in the mainstream media seems to want you to know about. He also answers a listeners question and offers his thoughts on the upcoming march in Washington on November 5th, as well as more thoughts about disconnecting from the “matrix” and taking control of your
reality. Later in the show, Ed welcomes R.P. Ruggiero the author of “Brushfire Plague”. A novel about survival in the onslaught of a massive pandemic.

Survival Law of Threes – Part Three – Obtaining Food

Posted by Ed Corcoran News No Responses »

Oct 252012

This is a three part series on the topic of the Survival Law of Threes. You can get good look at doing this in greater detail in the Dan’s Depot Wilderness Survival Basics DVD. Please keep in mind that the Law of Threes is a very general way of prioritizing your needs. The time frames given in each of the segments is not an absolute, but rather an aid in helping you in a stressful situation. The Law of Threes states:

You can only live three hours without maintaining your core body temperature.
You can only live three days without replenishing water (hydration) in your body.
You can only live three weeks without replenishing food in your body.

This helps us prioritize our needs, therefore in any given survival situation your first priority beyond you own personal safety is maintaining your core body temperature, and then you must obtain clean water, and finally you must replenish your food stores in your body.

I sincerely hope that I have other survival instructors reading our blog from time to time, because this is going to be one of those posts that “goes against the grain” of most survival instructors out there. Someone, somewhere, has got to teach these other guys that what they are instructing people on is dangerous, particularly when it comes to acquiring food.

Food in any given survival situation (beyond what you carry in with you, such as Wise Foods) comes in two broad categories.

Animal sources
Plant sources

ANIMAL SOURCES

Animal sources are one of the main methodologies that most survival teachers teach in their survival classes. Let me explain to you why I think it should be your last choice for food in a survival situation. From a food digestion standpoint, for most meat protein sources, it will take nearly 50% of the calories that you take in to simply digest that food. Let me say that again, 50% of the calories, that you take in will, be used up by your own body by simply digesting and processing that food through your body. Lets assume that you setup a series of traps to catch that animal, then you are then using of 30-40% more calories, walking around setting up traps, last but not least, you must process that animal which will also take a certain amount of calories to do so. At this point you are getting danger close to becoming calorie deficient just simply harvesting, processing, eating and then digesting those animal proteins. If you don’t believe me then please become a student of history and study the trip made by Lewis and Clark. Their journals indicate that the daily meat protein allotment to the men in their crew was somewhere near 20 lbs. That is 20 lbs of meat-per-day-per-man, and many of them were starving. This is because they were working so hard, that they were expending thousands of calories a day and were not eating foods rich with carbohyrdrates and calories.

To be clear this does not include items of the animal that do not require as many calories. Items such as bone marrow, and blood which have a fair amount of nutrition in them do not require as many calories to digest. Therefore, if you are fortunate to harvest an animal, they should be the first choice you should digest.

If you do happen to go for animals then setting traps and similar capture devices are the best method if you do not have hunting weapons with you. Also, going after smaller animals such similar to the size of a squirrel is more likely than to harvest something as large as a deer, moose etc.

With that said, I certainly would not forego setting up traps in a survival situation. Even the sources mentioned above are better than no food source at all.

PLANT SOURCES

Plant sources are one of the things that survival instructors most often gloss over when teaching survival classes. Mainly because it takes alot of time and effort to be able to study plants so that you can pass on that information to others. However, it does not take as much effort to study and learn a few of the edible plants in your area. At Nature Reliance School, my wife and I teach this class all over the state. It is an easy one to get started with, but you must put in some time. We recommend you pick up a minimum of three sources on edible plant information and then take them to the park, the woods, wherever you can and begin a serious study of edible plants. It will certainly not be time wasted. If you are looking for a few easy to identify sources, here is a quick list that are found in broad range of territories.

Cattails (watch our video)
Grasses (almost all grass is edible, swallow the juice and spit out the fibrous material)
Nuts (typically need to leech out the bitter tannins to make them palatable)
Berries and other seasonally available species.

So those are few of our easier to identify species. There are many, many other plant species you can utilize as well. We have several videos out there on these as well including (plantain, wood sorrell, chickweed, and dandelion). So check those videos out at your leisure.

Also seek out a good instructor on this subject, if there is one available. The wealth of knowledge that a good “eatin’ weeds” expert has and passed on, is incredibly valuable.

So this concludes are series (one of the most important I have written I believe) on the subject of the Law of Threes. Rememeber you can pick up our Wilderness Survival Basics DVD, or the Urban Preparedness DVD to get an in depth look at the subject matter presented here in these blog posts.

Until next time, I hope to see you on, or off, the trail…

What if You Could No Longer Afford Electricity?

What if You Could No Longer Afford Electricity?

In survival and preparedness we talk a lot about monumental disasters, civil unrest, and total grid crash disrupting our way of life, possibly knocking us back into the 19th century (if not further). Those are all plausible, valid reasons to be prepared, but not all disasters happen on an epic scale. What if the cost of food, fuel and electricity continues to rise to the point that you are forced to make a choice between putting food on the table or keeping the power on? How would you cook? How would you keep the food you have from spoiling? Or keep your home warm without dying of carbon monoxide poisoning? How would you heat your water and maintain sanitation, so you don’t succumb to disease?

What if it started happening to millions of Americans on a nation-wide scale? Millions of Americans who are totally ill equipped to adapt to a life without electricity or ready heat, in homes that are unsuitable for living in a “world lit by fire”. Increases in energy prices mean an increase in the price of everything else. Food continues to get more and more expensive, until it starts becoming scarce. Supply lines start to break down under the crush of prohibitive fuel costs.

Your supermarket is no longer able to keep product on the shelves…

It’s getting cold at night…

If Obama gets re-selected to the office of the presidency, that may be the kind of life you’re gonna have. His “Cap and Trade” legislation which has been working its way through Congress for years, (undergoing numerous revisions and name changes) will – by Obama’s own admission – “necessarily cause energy costs skyrocket”. This of course, is in harmonization with the United Nations’ plan of action to impose reduced levels of “consumption” on a global scale under the Agenda 21 “sustainability” plan. And people will blindly buy into it with a warm fuzzy feeling inside because they’ve been brainwashed into believing that they’re “saving the planet”, by golly! They’ll gladly have that smart meter installed and pay the extra 31% average increase in their electric bill. A device which nobody asked for (our current meters do the job just fine), which benefits no one (except the power company and the surveillance state) and is actually harmful to your health (akin to having a mini cell phone tower that’s always broadcasting attached to your house).

By the way, didn’t all that junk science behind the global warming/carbon emissions scam get exposed years ago? Well, thanks to the EPA and other propagandist groups and agencies, the brainwashing campaign has been on overdrive, so all that nonsense about West Angola University will vanish down the memory hole. Meanwhile our kids are being indoctrinated into little eco-zealots in the public schools. Taught that humans are killing the planet and they should comply with anything that proposes to save it. The government must know best… right?

Of course many will turn to the government for help and they’ll be more than happy to oblige by setting them up in U.N. designated “population zones” as specified by Agenda 21.

The following article is an excellent , detailed treatise on a subject that I think more of us should be aware of, called: “What if Electricity Was Only for Rich People?”

By Kimberly Paxton

TheIntelHub.com

What if electrical power in the home was only for rich people? What about heat? What about running water?

What if that divide between the rich and the poor could be delineated by who had the ability to turn on light at the flick of a switch and who did not?

Many people worry about an event like a solar flare that would wipe out electrical power, casting us back about 200 years.

We’d have no refrigeration, no transportation, no climate control and no lights. But in that situation, we’d all be in the same boat. No matter how wealthy you are, any unprotected electrical items would still be useless.

What if the real threat was simply that no one could afford to pay the electric bill?

What if prices escalated to the point that it was a choice between food and electricity? What if, home by home, the lights went out across America?

Across the world, the prices of electricity are rising dramatically. Customers have been warned that they will face increases. Smart meters have been installed nearly everywhere.

Many places are instituting time-of-day pricing, making it only affordable to do your laundry in the middle of the night.

The UK has announced that people can expect rolling blackouts beginning sometime next year and their power costs have risen 31% since 2010.

Part of the reason Americans will face higher prices is President Obama’s War on Coal. (In his own words he promised to bankrupt the coal industry.)

If Obama can’t close down power producers through the front door, he does it through the back door, via the EPA.

Even though the climate change theory through CO2 emissions has been completely debunked, the EPA is still passing draconian laws to reduce our “carbon footprint” and thus raise the prices on power.

Obama has shut down 8 coal mines across 3 states, and he and his buddies at the EPA have plans to scale back production at over 200 coal-powered plants via a regulatory assault.

The United Nations carbon taxes have forced many areas across the globe into power monopolies.

While small companies will go out of business struggling to meet the new regulations, General Electric (a large Obama contributor) has received a waiver, exempting them from meeting these new standards.

In providing the likes of GE with a waiver, the White House is greasing the skids for a giant consolidation of the energy industry, shutting down competition and creating artificial scarcity – thereby driving up costs for the American people.

The deliberate deindustrialization of America has nothing to do with protecting the environment.

Whereas the competitiveness of America’s energy industry is being crippled by the EPA and the White House, China and Mexico are building dozens of new power plants every year which fall well short of the clean-burning technology standards adhered to in the United States.

This is about the implementation of the UN’s Agenda 21, which operates under the guise of “sustainable development” yet is clearly part of a stealth agenda to centralize control over energy, bankrupting America in the process as part of the move towards a crony system of one world governance.

We are facing dramatic global increases in the prices of food, water and power. This will serve to widen the divide between the rich and the poor and effectively end the middle class.

In Jackson County, Alabama, for example, the price of water bills has quadrupled, making an average monthly water bill over $300.

Lizzie Bennett writes that many residents no longer have running water in their homes because of these exorbitant bills.

“Many people have opted to buy drums of water from petrol stations rather than pay their ever increasing bills.

They use these drums of water for drinking, washing and in their portable toilets which can be seen dotting back yards across the area, the modern version of the outhouse.

They pay a fee to a sanitation company to remove the waste. It’s cheaper than letting the city take care of it.”

A popular culture comparison would be with the movie, The Hunger Games.

In the movie, citizens of the Districts were relegated to cooking over open fires and lighting their rooms with candles. No one had transportation or power.

They were not allowed to hunt to supplement their meager food allotments and in the heroine’s District, they were not allowed to use the coal the area was rich with.

Uniformed “peacekeepers” patrolled the districts to ensure that the rules were strictly adhered to and that the excruciating poverty was the standard for all residents.

However, when the main characters went to the Capitol, a mere train ride away, it was another world, with advanced technology, power at the touch of a button and enough food at each meal to feed a family for a week.

The Capitol glowed with industry, cleanliness and light and the difference of living standards was like the difference between night and day.

games-capital-2012-lgn.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="135" />

The increased prices of modern day necessities can be used as leverage for many types of governmental control.

Consider Agenda 21, right from the website of the UN Department for Sustainable Development.

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

To make sure that’s totally clear: A plan of action. Got it. To be taken globally…okay – everyone must participate.

In every area in which human impacts on the environment….yep, that covers everyone and everything in the entire world.

It’s a way to take over the world that sounds so warm and fuzzy that people will pay money to get in on it!

So in true Agenda 21 fashion, wiping out power to outlying regions rich with their own natural resources will be a great way to corral the hungry cold masses into the megacities that have been designed for us.

According to alternative journalist Susanne Posel, “Humans are now being compared to invasive species that commandeer territory, disburse indigenous wildlife and destroy the planet in the process…The move out of rural areas and densification of urbanized centers is being pushed in the American mainstream media as the answer to the devastating effects of humans on the environment.

The elimination of suburban areas as compact cities become inundated with more people, there is a need to reinvent these centers to accommodate these swelling numbers.”

Not only will the loss of affordable utilities help round people up geographically, it will perpetuate a massive die-off as people living in homes that were not designed to function without electrical power succumb to many different fates.

People will freeze to death in their homes in the winter, burn to death or die of carbon monoxide poisoning as they try to keep warm in homes not designed with proper chimneys and ventilation, perish of food poisoning as they consume items that have been left unrefrigerated, die from being unable to keep life-saving medications at the proper temperature to prevent spoilage or contract diseases like typhus from improper sanitation when water no longer flows from the taps.

So, what can we do to maintain our independence as the powers that be try to return us to serfdom through limiting our access to affordable necessities?

First you must learn to provide for many of your necessities alone. Grow food, join a co-op, raise chickens and rabbits. Even a small salad garden in a kitchen window can help you to offset high food prices.

Second, reduce your dependence on the power grid. Use rain barrels to collect water, direct the gray water from your washing machines to reservoirs, hang your clothes to dry, and use solar lighting whenever possible.

Find other ways to stay warm. This can be difficult if you rent but it can still be done. Consider making modifications to allow for the use of portable wood heaters, look into different types of camping heaters and make your plans and purchase your supplies well before you need them.

Learn how to safely store fuel for these secondary devices. Invest in battery operated C02 monitors (and extra batteries). Get sleeping bags with a warmth rating for low temperatures, consider a small tent where you and family members can sleep in your living room to pool body heat, and stock up on cold weather clothing like hats, fingerless gloves, long underwear and heavy sweaters.

Find ways to insulate and separate one main living area off from the rest of the house by closing doors, hanging curtains in doorways, etc.

Watch the prices of your utilities. As the prices begin to rise, more and more people will be unable to pay their bills and eventually their power will be shut off.

Check your bill each month and as prices increase, use less power. Redefine necessities. You can hand wash your clothing, cook on a woodstove or outdoor grill and can foods to preserve them instead of relying on a large chest freezer.

None of these are the way things are commonly done these days, but if you can manage to keep power on for the most basic necessities, like running the pump for your well, running a refrigerator, and maybe powering up a laptop, you’ll be living in luxury in comparison to the neighbors who now have no power, no heat and no running water.

Prep, prep and then prep some more. The end of the American way of life is upon us. Stock up on beans, bullets and bandaids.

If you’re new to the idea of prepping, check out some sites like Ready Nutrition (especially the 52 Weeks to Preparedness Series), Survival Blog, and SHTFplan. The clock is ticking.

Instead of a huge, life-changing calamity, consider that it may be the culmination of many small events, rising prices and lower incomes, and the deliberate erosion of our self-sufficiency by those who would control us that cause TEOTWAWKI. (The End Of The World As We Know It)

Survival Law of Threes – Part Two – Obtaining Water

Survival Law of Threes – Part Two – Obtaining Water

Here is part two of Craig Caudill’s series on the survival law of threes. This second part deals with obtaining potable water in a wilderness survival situation.

This is a three part series on the topic of the Law of Threes. You can get good look at doing this in greater detail in the Dan’s Depot Wilderness Survival Basics DVD. Please keep in mind that the Law of Threes is a very general way of prioritizing your needs. The time frames given in each of the segments is not an absolute, but rather an aid in helping you in a stressful situation. The Law of Threes states:

You can only live three hours without maintaining your core body temperature.
You can only live three days without replenishing water (hydration) in your body.
You can only live three weeks without replenishing food in your body.

Obtaining clean water is probably the least discussed items in survival classes that I have attended elsewhere. This is because it is a hard topic to get your head around. The cold hard facts are that in the good ole USA, you can no longer assume any water source in the outdoors is clean. That is both sad and alarming. The question for us is how to get around this in any given survival situation. First and foremost you need to be aware that if you in a situation where you do not already have or the you cannot clean your water you will need to drink “dirty” water rather than succumb to dehydration. In our classes we make everyone stop on regular intervals and drink water so as not to have some one get dehydrated on us. It is not a fun or pretty thing to succumb to a lack of water.

Boiling water

The only sure way of cleaning water of impurities such as cryptosporidium or giardia is to boil it. In you survival kit you need to have some sort of cup, bottle, or stove that will do this. In the Dan’s Depot kit, Dan has the Swiss Stove to accomplish this task. You can also do this in plastic but it takes a little practice. We have boiled water in a condom in our survival classes before. Outside of this you can utilize steri-straws, and other filter-type pieces of equipment to obtain clean water. The marketing of those types of products says they are 99.9% effective at cleaning these types of impurities.

Another way of doing this is to let the sun do all the work for you to gather water. One item I have always carried in my pack, and Dan now carries in his kits are garbage bags. These are incredibly useful tools when it comes to gathering water. One way we have good success in classes of gathering water like this is to tie a garbage bag around some vegetation on a tree or bush and tie it off on the end. Condensation will come off the leafy material of the enclosed vegetation, then gather in the bag.

We have several different ways we describe this in both the Wilderness Survival and Urban Preparedness DVDs. Outside of that stay tuned to our Youtube Channel, as it will be having a wide variety of these methodologies on it as well.

Until that time, I hope to see you on, or off, the trail!

The Survival Law of Threes – Part One – Maintaining Core Body Temperature

Posted by Ed Corcoran Videos 1 Response »

Oct 202012

The Survival Law of Threes – Part One – Maintaining Core Body Temperature

The law of threes (sometimes called the “rule of threes”) is a general guideline of priorities for survival that most experienced survivalists are familiar with. However, many get these simple priorities confused. While some may argue the particulars about the rule of threes as stated (for example; you can probably live for more than three weeks without food) these arguments typically come down to semantics. The actual order of priorities is indisputable. Whenever I ask survival “newbies” what they think the first thing they should secure is in a survival situation, almost invariably the answer they give is either food or water. The fact is; hypothermia can take you out a lot faster than starvation or dehydration – and while much of this rule addresses keeping warm, heat stroke and heat exhaustion are serious dangers as well. As such, your first priority in any survival situation is maintaining core body temperature.

The following is part one of the “Law of Threes” series by Craig Caudill

You can only live three hours without maintaining your core body temperature.
You can only live three days without replenishing water (hydration) in your body.
You can only live three weeks without replenishing food in your body.

This helps us prioritize our needs, therefore in any given survival situation your first priority beyond you own personal safety is maintaining your core body temperature.
Maintaining core body temperature can be done in two primary ways.

Utilizing a shelter properly
Building a Fire

Utilizing a Shelter

Most people think of debris huts and such when they consider shelter building. The first and foremost important shelter you have is the clothing you are wearing. If you are wearing improper clothing then it does not matter what kind of debris hut or other you have, you will get in trouble. Let us not forget also how easy it is to get overheated as well. Maintaining core body temp also includes keeping your body cool when you need to as well. Again, this can be done with proper clothing. Cotton is your enemy in the winter, and your friend in the summer. Cotton clothing holds moisture against the skin. Moisture against the skin acts to cool the body down.
Keep in mind that 60%-70% of your body heat escapes through your head. So having a good hat or winter cap is a fantastic way to ventilate when you get too hot, and put back on when you start cooling down. Besides a head cover, one of the best pieces of gear is a tarp to have in your kits. This is a fantastic way to get yourself out of the elements and start getting warm again. Dan has a great tarp in the kit he sells. I did a video that details several ways of setting this tarp up.

Regarding the aforementioned debris huts, I dislike them considerably. I am going to dedicate a whole blog to that sometime in the near future so as to attempt to prove my point. Tune in for that later.

Building a Fire

Building a fire is our next option in mainting our core body temp. I want to make sure you understand that I am saying MAINTAIN your core body temperature. When you start getting the cold feeling from being outside in the elements you still have your body temperature with you. It is when you start having involuntary shaking that you cannot stop, that you are starting to lose body temperature. It only takes a 2-3 degree drop in body temp to be in serious danger.

Shelter and fire reflector in area where usefull materials were limited

You need three things for a fire, and thankfully I have already posted a blog dedicated to that topic here. So please go check that out at your convenience. I also have posted blogs on finding firewood, tinder bundles and ferro rods. There is one consideration that I have not covered on the topic and that is the use of a good fire reflector. You need to utilize the natural landscape, and when that is not available, build something to reflect the heat of fire back on to you. Basically you need to sandwich yourself and your fire between two rocks or other reflectors. This does not have to be a reflective aluminum-backed tarp, although they work very well, just something that will help keep as much warmth around you rather than spreading out away from you.

This photo was taken at a survival class we were teaching in Wisconsin last year. This particular area was limited on forest litter materials that could have been used for this practice. The students who built this did a great job utilizing what was available to get both the shelter and fire reflector completed.

This blog is the first part in a three part series on the law of threes. We will be doing one on water, and another on food later in the week. Until next time, I hope to see you on, or off, the trail!

Recovering Your Pineal Gland from Fluoride Damage, Plus Special Guest Gary Yantis Predicts Drastic Events Leading Up to the Election!

Posted by Ed Corcoran Show Archives No Responses »

Oct 182012

On the show this week, Ed brings the truth about fluoride and how it is being used to deliberately limit and prevent us from realizing our full potential – specifically in regards to pineal gland functioning. He covers what the true nature of that organ is and how our intelligence, awareness and connection with reality is severely disabled by the calcification that occurs from exposure to fluoride and how to reactivate this little known and understood organ.

Ed also welcomes Gary Yantis back to the show. Gary is a dedicated truth seeker and author of the renowned survival book: “Infinite Dangers”. For most of his life, Gary worked as an engineer with top-secret clearance at the Atomic Energy Commission and now – through his many contacts – keeps a close eye on the real events going on behind the scenes and devotes his time to exposing the lies being perpetrated on the American public (and the world at large). He also warns of drastic changes in the U.S. that he predicts are coming right around the corner!

Will Election Results Trigger Riots and Civil Unrest in the U.S.?

Posted by Ed Corcoran News 1 Response »

Oct 182012

This is something that we touched on in my interview with Gary Yantis on this week’s show. A lot of people are predicting either an “October Surprise” (a false flag event giving Obama an excuse to suspend the elections – a power which he has granted himself under NDAA – and impose martial law) or that massive civil unrest and rioting will result in the aftermath of the election (no matter who wins). Considering that riots have erupted in the past over the loss (or win) of major sporting events, this does not seem like too much of a stretch. Why do you suppose DHS has been in an all fired-up hurry to arm itself to the teeth?

From TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com

Will the most divisive campaign in modern American history culminate in massive riots in our major cities? Right now, supporters of Barack Obama and supporters of Mitt Romney are both pinning all of their hopes on a victory on November 6th. The race for the presidency is extremely tight, and obviously the side that loses is going to be extremely disappointed when the election results are finalized. But could this actually lead to violence? Could we actually see rioting in communities all over America? Well, the conditions are certainly ripe for it. A whole host of surveys over the past few years have shown that Americans are very angry and very frustrated right now. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll from late last year found that 86 percent of all Americans are either angry or frustrated with the federal government. We have seen this frustration manifest in protest movements such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, but right now things are fairly calm as liberals and conservatives both look forward to November 6th. Many Republicans started the countdown to the next election literally the day after John McCain lost back in 2008. All of their hopes of getting Obama out of the White House are riding on a Romney victory. For many Democrats, Barack Obama is a “once in a generation” icon. Just the thought of Mitt Romney replacing Obama in the White House is enough to push many of them to the brink of insanity. In recent years we have seen horrible rioting erupt in cities after major sports championship games. How much worse could the rioting potentially be if this bitterly contested election is decided by a very narrow margin – especially if there are allegations that the election is “stolen”?

The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses. The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy.com….

“If Romney wins I’m Starting a Riot….Who’s WIT ME???”

“I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power”

“If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot.”

“If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE …U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW …..CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!”

“If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot”

“If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT”

“If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT—”

The following are a few more tweets that I found which threaten a potential riot if Obama loses the election….

From @joecools_world….

“Need 2 come up wit a game plan if Romney win…. Riot all thru Newark”

From @killacate….

“I swear on everything I love if Romney wins ima riot. I don’t even care if its just me.”

Romney supporters are not really threatening to riot, but many of them are proclaiming that they may leave the country if Obama wins. Here are some examples….

From @BrentskiTheBoss….

“If Obama gets reelected I may leave the country”

From @AbbieFickes….

“im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe”

This presidential campaign has been getting increasingly heated, and individuals on both sides have been committing some despicable acts.

For example, in a previous article I mentioned that some Romney campaign signs down in Virgina have been smeared with excrement.

Over in Ohio, a huge pile of manure was dumped right in front of Warren County Democratic headquarters early on Tuesday morning….

Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters, just north of Cincinnati, were shocked and disappointed by a political prank unloaded on them early Tuesday morning – someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on US 42, just north of Lebanon.

It appears that both sides have resorted to literally slinging crap around.

There is so much hate in America today, and this campaign is bringing a lot of it to the surface. It is even being reported that a bus driver told a 12-year-old boy that he should have been aborted because his family has a Romney campaign sign in their yard….

Belling read a letter from the 12-year-old boy’s mother, detailing the alleged abusive behavior by the bus driver.

Apparently, the Romney-Ryan yard sign bugs the bus driver and she’s been harassing the boy, making rude comments to him related to politics.

When the driver engaged the 12-year-old boy in a political conservation, he responded by saying that Obama is pro-abortion.

The bus driver allegedly said to the child, “Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you.”

How sick is that?

You can strongly disagree with someone without being mean and without being hateful.

Right now, the United States is a bubbling cauldron of frustration and anger that could be set off at any moment. This election could potentially be a “trigger point” which could end up unleashing a lot of that anger and frustration.

Already, there have been allegations that the Republicans have been committing voter registration fraud. Democrats are furious about this.

Evidence has also emerged that Democrats have been willing to assist voters in registering to vote in two different states. The following is from a recent article by Mac Slavo….

When undercover reporters visited various locations across the country they received the same response from Obama campaign staffers – that it’s basically okay to vote multiple times if you happen to be registered in two or more states.

In Houston, Texas, for example, the Project Veritas reporter made her intentions known, and rather than being rebuffed for her planned illegal activity, she was provided assistance with obtaining the proper forms to be registered in two states and was told to say “I don’t know” if the double-voting ever became an issue.

Similar situations unfolded at other DNC funded community organizations.

It appears quite probable that whichever side loses this election will accuse the other side of stealing the election.

And if millions of Americans feel that the election has been stolen from them, that will make it much more likely that we will see rioting.

Keep your ears open for phrases such as “voter fraud” and “election fraud” following this election. People are so angry already that even allegations that someone stole the election could be enough to set the streets of America on fire.

As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.
