"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is exercised under cover of law, and with the colors of justice" United States vs. Jannotti

endignorance.jpg

NOTE: sad that I even have to say this but, in this day and age of political correctness and illogical emotional sensitivity, I have little choice. Here you will find many things and some you might find offensive. To that I say - oh well. I take shots at everyone, whether they are white, black, yellow, brown, green, purple or whatever. I also take shots at various religious quarters. I take shots at the high and mighty as well as the lowliest of the low. I take shots at all spectrums of  the political, liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, whatever. No target is safe with me.  My reason for this is simple really. When calamity strikes, as it surely will,
ability to survive and deal with it, is based on how well we are
prepared to do so. Mother Nature is not a respecter of persons
either. She dumps on the rich, the poor, the homeless, the middle class, the upper crust, the lower dregs and everything in between. So like her I am trying to get peoples attention. Some require a stronger whack up side the head than others and since you are not physically in reach then I use the only means available.
 
Provided you live through the initial onslaught of that strike of nature or strike of egotistical tyrants from the world over, you will not survive the aftermath if you are not prepared. What it all boils down to is this, if you are not going to be responsible for your actions, all of your actions, then you are probably going to get what you deserve whether it be when the storm, quake, or whatever hits, or afterwards when the whole area has gone to hell and you don't know how to do the basic life enabling activities of finding food, water, and shelter. So, if you are serious about getting ready to face some disaster that is yet unknown to you then read all you want. If you find something here offensive or picture or particular news item then just ignore it. If you can't, then ignore this site all together and figure out on your own how you will survive. Just don't bring your whining crying butt around me when your world has fallen apart. At that time I will be to busy taking care of my own to deal with you. That is why this is here now. If you are just looking for something to complain about then send me an email, (first page bottom). I may or may not respond. That will depend on what your complaint is and whether I consider your concern as valid. Even if I do answer, don't necessarily expect me to make the change you want. GOT IT? GOOD. Now get off your butt and get your stuff together so that you are ready for what ever comes.
 
Now onto the news. Much of what you see here comes from around the world. It seems that the "Main Stream Media" (MSM) in the US has a real problem with reporting just facts. In the past 20 years I have seen a terrible degredation from responsible reporting to entire bird cage liners full of editorial poop. Quite appropriate that poop get use as bird poop collectors. Since MSM can't seem to report facts to the American public without some form of political bent, I have provided alternative sources. Does that mean they are correct? Not really but if you see the same news from several sources and it doesn't jive across the board then you can better figure out what the facts really are. There is more going on in this  world than meets the eye. If you are concerned then read on, if not then go back to your "American Idol." Just remember idol worship is a big no-no but, that is your call not mine.
