Countdown: Top 10 Bug-Out Basecamp Essentials: #10
Say you’re a city dweller planning for the apocalypse. Obviously your 30th floor apartment is not an ideal location for living out the end of the world. It’s hard lugging water up 30 flights of darkened stairs while fighting off marauders on every flight. But it’s even harder when all the water in town is […]

Edward Snowden’s leaks have rocked the international community for the past two weeks and fired up a debate about U.S. government surveillance of citizens’ phone calls and internet browsing data.

The House Voted 400-20 to Impose New Sanctions on Iran’s Oil Exports

Near EMP Hit 2-Weeks Ago
The Obama administration loves to talk about energy yet our decrepit electric grid is still at the mercy of an EMP. The earth barely missed taking a massive solar punch in the teeth two weeks ago, an “electromagnetic pulse” so big that it could have knocked out power, cars and iPhones throughout the United States.

A Breakthrough with Iran!
I think it can happen if the neocons will stand down and give things a chance to work out. The way I read Iran’s election, the new guy, Hasan Rouhani, was elected on a platform based on reviving Iran’s economy, getting sanctions lifted, and re-engaging with the West.
