Interesting Water Filter
(I think for the money this is the very best water fiter. I think you should get one for emergency purposes. Its a good buy. Go to and get one before its to late.)
Berkey water filter systems are far superior to other filtration systems because they remove harmful pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, and unhealthy chemical contaminants such as Chlorine to levels higher than 99.99%, while at the same time leaving in the essential minerals your body needs.
Did you know that over 60% of US municipal water is fluoridated? Floride is a posion!
Berkey water filter systems also distinguish themselves from many other filtration systems by having the capabilities to significantly reduce fluoride and arsenic via the "PF" line of filters.
Each durable Black Berkey Water filter will last up to 3000 gallons (6000 gallons per set of 2). This is much longer than the majority of water filter solutions on the market.
At 10 gallons per week, this equates to more than 11.5 years of healthy clean drinking water!
Put another way, 1 gallon of Berkey water costs you just 1.7 cents! Including fluoride and arsenic reduction, 1 gallon of Berkey water costs just 7 cents!

Obama Birth Certificate Ruled a Forgery

Obama Birth Certificate a Forgery
It appears that the Maricopa County Sheriff's department has determined there is PROBABLE CAUSE to believe the long form birth certificate of "Barack Obama" released by the White House is a forgery.
Police also believe that Obama's Selective Service card is a "poor forgery".
Dr. Jerome Corsi is reporting that he spoke with Andrew Breitbart yesterday around 5pm and arranged an interview for him with Sheriff Arpaio. Corsi says it may have been Breitbart's last interview.
Andrew Breitbart died unexpectedly shortly after midnight this morning on this auspicious day.
(Corsi spoke with Andrew Brietbart yesterday Feb 29 tue around 5pm to arrange an interview with Sheriff Arpaio. The next day shortly after midnight Andrew Brietbart dies.
To me this smells as bad as BO. Today Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa County Arizona determined there is probable cause to believe the "birth certificate" obama says is real is a FORGERY! Something is very very strange about Brietbart's sudden death.)
If you were looking for a reason why Andrew Breitbart died, murdered, it was because he was about to have an interview with Sheriff Joe Arpaio that would have exposed obama as non US citizen because he could NOT validate his US citizenship.
The DNC, liberal news media and certain people in the government know obama is NOT a US citizen because he cannot validate his US citizenship!
This is why Sheriff Joe Arpaio is such a threat to them.

A North Carolina man is dead after he accidentally drank from a jar of gasoline and then smoked a cigarette

Police say a North Carolina man is dead after he accidentally drank from a jar of gasoline and then smoked a cigarette.
Havelock police received a 911 call about 9:55 p.m. Monday after 43-year-old Gary Allen Banning set himself on fire. Banning was transported to UNC Burn Center in Chapel Hill, where he died early Tuesday morning.
City spokeswoman Diane Miller said investigators believe Banning was at a friend's apartment when he apparently mistook a jar of gasoline sitting by the kitchen sink for a beverage. After taking a gulp, he spit the gas out and got some on his clothes.
Sometime later, investigators say Banning went outside to smoke a cigarette and burst into flame.
Havelock police and the city fire marshal are continuing their investigation.
(This is another reason not to drink and smoke or smoke then drink. This is much worse than smoking an electronic cigar or cigarette that explodes because of a defective battery. I am thinking this is not covered under obamacare. Obama wouldn't say just take a pill and go home he would say just take another smoke break and "go home".) Story Reports

‘Trespass Bill’ H.R. 347will make protest illegal near the FRAUD obama
Goodbye, First Amendment: ‘Trespass Bill’ will make protest illegal:
Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it.
The US House of Representatives voted 388-to-3 in favor of H.R. 347 late Monday, a bill which is being dubbed the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011. In the bill, Congress officially makes it illegal to trespass on the grounds of the White House, which, on the surface, seems not just harmless and necessary, but somewhat shocking that such a rule isn’t already on the books. The wording in the bill, however, extends to allow the government to go after much more than tourists that transverse the wrought iron White House fence.
Under the act, the government is also given the power to bring charges against Americans engaged in political protest anywhere in the country.
Under current law, White House trespassers are prosecuted under a local ordinance, a Washington, DC legislation that can bring misdemeanor charges for anyone trying to get close to the president without authorization. Under H.R. 347, a federal law will formally be applied to such instances, but will also allow the government to bring charges to protesters, demonstrators and activists at political events and other outings across America.
The new legislation allows prosecutors to charge anyone who enters a building without permission or with the intent to disrupt a government function with a federal offense if Secret Service is on the scene, but the law stretches to include not just the president’s palatial Pennsylvania Avenue home. Under the law, any building or grounds where the president is visiting — even temporarily — is covered, as is any building or grounds “restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event of national significance."
It’s not just the president who would be spared from protesters, either.
Covered under the bill is any person protected by the Secret Service. Although such protection isn’t extended to just everybody, making it a federal offense to even accidentally disrupt an event attended by a person with such status essentially crushes whatever currently remains of the right to assemble and peacefully protest. http://rt.com/usa/news/348-act-tresspass-buildings-437/

The Costco Ark 1 is a great deal for those who want to prepare for the obama show
(This is another entry in my survival series. Knowing how to live off the land in an emergency is important but even more important is having some food in storage for an emergency such as the dollar collapsing, martial law, or a natural disaster. The ARK1 1 month supply of emergency food from costco is a great buy. Now is the time to purchase emergency food before obama and his comrades create a crisis that they won't let go to waste. I wanted to share this information with those who don't have their head up their u know what.) Story Reports

Yes, I tried it!
Pros: great items: great costco price
Cons: takes time utinsels and fuel to prepare
Model Number: Chef's Banquet Arc 1 Item # 582275 $84.99 (Actural 20 Yr Shelf Life!)
"It always cracks me up when individuals purchase emergency supplies and do not try them before an emergency, then the individual will write a review based on speedy delivery and the lack or presence of dented cans (which Costco will replace anyway). I know we are all trying to help. We prepare for our families because we are a little bit unsure about the future and want our loved ones to be as comfortable as possible in uncertain times. Just like car, home and life insurance, we have them but hope to never need to use them. They are a safety net, just in case, even your life insurance, you will not need it but you plan for your family.
Other than water, which is THE most important resource to have access to, when storing food for uncertain times I like to group my items into three categories; Ready to eat (MREs for example); Needs little preparation (freeze dried items for example); Needs to be cooked (dehydrated items for example). Of course, if you are hungry enough, your could eat most any of the items with minimal or without preparation. For this article I am not discussing pantry, refrigerated or frozen items which are yet another layer that you might try to use up quickly or integrate into your short-medium term storage, depending on the item, like canned soup, etc..
In preparing for a worst case scenario, there may be no services, no electricity, gas or water. There may be no garbage pickup etc. If your house is intact, you are in business, if not you are relegated to the camper, tent, a friends or church, or any public gathering place (hopefully less dense than the superdome during Katrina. Do you REALLY trust that the government is fully capable of taking care of the masses after any event at any time? Really??). I am intentionally not discussing the idea of defense or security; this is leading to a review of this product and that is another subject. Any other scenario will obviously be less than worst case. The next item of concern is how long will the event last and how big (in geographical size) is it. Taking care of yourself, family and perhaps friends is different in an localized event that lasts a few days compared to one that lasts several weeks or into months or more and may be regional, national or greater in scope.
In my mind (simply my opinion, your mileage may vary..., please don't beat me up over it) immediately after an event we may each be very busy making sure our loved ones are accounted for and safe. We may be clearing the debris of a flood or storm, perhaps checking structures after an earthquake, assisting neighbors, etc. We will be on the move and burning calories that we may not normally burn. Here an MRE type item is ideal. It is complete, self contained, designed for the rigors of combat, needs no preparation (although you can heat with the included heater), easy to eat, lots of nutrients, but expensive per meal (we pay for convenience). No whining about their taste, I know soldiers who, after daily use, have gotten tired of MREs. I understand this. However, when you and your children are hungry you will find these very very good.
As things settle and stabilize, we move to layer two of your supplies, fast and easy to prepare, good variety and tastes good, saving MREs for daily outings. Here freeze dried items are an example of what might fit the bill, less expensive or convenient than MREs but more expensive and convenient than dehydrated.
As things return into some form of normalcy, we move the third layer of your supplies. Dehydrated items, needing preparation in terms of cooking abilities, utensils, heat source, ability to clean up, etc. These items are much more economical than the first levels of your preparations. Freeze dried items are easily incorporated into the meals of this category too.
So here is what this is all leading up to, the Chef's Banquet ARK 1 Month Food Storage Supply from Costco. I purchased this item try it out. It comes in a nice 6 gallon bucket and contains a number of sealed Mylar bags. Each bag has an O2 absorber and can be resealed like a zip lock bag. Most of the bags contain about 30 servings of the contained item. Chef's Banquet advertises 330 total servings and touts this as a one month supply for one at 2100 calories per day, working out to about 10 servings per day (the oatmeal throws off the ratio a bit). So far I have tried the soups and stews, the veggies and the potatoes (no mac and cheese, mine has pasta and Alfredo sauce instead). I have not tried the oatmeal or pasta although I can't imagine Chef's Choice messing these items up. I first tried each item simply following the directions.
For example:
I tried the Hearty Potato Soup I made 4 of the bag's 30 servings, 4 cups of water and 1 cup of mix. It does take about 20 minute time for all of the dehydrated items to become tender. This is nearly 40 ounces of prepared food, or roughly the volume of two 20 oz Mountain House entrees. A little salty but not bad at all. For the next test I added some of the dehydrated veggies. Those will plump up a lot when hydrated and they take a bit longer to all get soft so, after that experience, I put about a cup of veggies in hot water as I prepared the other items, giving veggies about 30 minutes of total hydration time; less salty and more interesting too. I took some chicken and diced it up, adding this to the mix (BTW each of these were separate batches). This added body and substance and now I did not notice the saltiness at all. Last, I added some cheese and pepper to taste, this was really getting good. I tried a batch with some diced ham too (yes from Costco) and it was great! In this example I was able to vary ingredients from the basic mix using almost a "stone soup" approach, varying the variety of the mix depending on what is on hand. This is a great base to build on. I had similar experiences with the other items.
Now for the costs:
A military MRE is a great and complete self contained meal. cost, about 100.00 per case of 12, or nearly 10.00 each after shipping. Life 3 to 10 years. I have stored MREs for up to 7 years in a closet near the floor with no problems at all.
Mountain House Freeze Dried Entree 20 oz prepared, cost from 6.00 to 9.00 per meal. They make a 16 oz package too. Easy to prepare, self contained (except a spoon), great variety, a tiny salty for me, 7 year shelf life.
Mountain House or Easy Meal Freeze Dried #10 cans. Shelf life about 30 years (hence you buy this item once!). One can contains about 10 or 11 servings that are about 8 oz each. This works out to just over 4 entrees that are 20 oz each. More expensive (about 1.2 to 1.5 times the aggregate pouch packaging depending on the item) than the entrees but packaged for long term storage. Not as convenient as the pouch as you now need a rehydration or cooking container (unless you prepare the entire can at once) spoon and bowls or plates, can't just eat from the convenient pouch.
Dehydrated Chef's Banquet (many other suppliers too with great individual variety), less variety, great base for adding other flavors, etc, compact storage, needs cooking time!! Two servings of the Hearty Potato Soup is about 20 oz prepared. Cost per 20 oz serving: about 60 cents (plus whatever you add), shelf life about 15-20 years. The oatmeal serving size is smaller and offsets the cost a bit higher from the 52 cents when calculating the cost of 330 equal servings. I know, it is actually about .26 cents, remember this is based on 20 oz servings prepared. (Hard to beat Costco's prices)
Final Thoughts:
While planning for each layer, they are easy to separate into a given category (we did not even speak about using up refrigerated, frozen or pantry items first), however, in practice, the layers will overlap considerably. You might use the freeze dried meat or veggies to add to a soup base, etc. You may need the convenience of ready to eat over not having the time or resources to prepare meals and clean up. Again, your mileage may vary. This item fits nicely into my planning and is at a bargain price. With a little planning and creativity it can be as nutritious, interesting and tasty as anything you might cook from scratch and certainly anything you buy in a can. If you are a Tabasco fan, well, it all tastes the same anyway...lol

History of The Tuskegee Airmen The True Story

History of The Tuskegee Airmen
The true story of the Tuskegee Airmen is far broader than one of just aviation and the first American Black Military Pilots and Crewmen to serve during WWII. It is one of this country's shining examples of unwavering human spirit, courage and enduring determination smack in the face of some of the most overwhelming personal odds. In an Experimental Training Program designed to fail from the start, Cadets at Tuskegee Army Air Field, Tuskegee, Alabama went through hell to earn their wings.
Cadets endured blatant disrespect, injustice and double standards throughout their training only to prove to themselves, the U.S. Army Air Corp, and their country that they most certainly could pilot aircraft if only given a fair chance. With the great support of Eleanor Roosevelt (wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our 32nd President), not only would they become pilots, but would soon become arguably the most skilled aviators—and most feared by the German pilots who fought them—during World War II. However, that is still just part of their story.
What they didn't know at the time was that their personal sacrifice and achievements would forever break new boundaries for both the military and the entire nation. While they battled the Germans in Europe, and racism at home, it would have been difficult for them to imagine that their courage and determination to overcome adversity would soon fuel positive and far-reaching change back home.
Their example would ripple throughout the following decades and would be recognized as the birth of the Civil Rights Movement in this country. While many of these veterans came back to the States to start families, careers and go on to become community leaders, many airmen stayed on in the Military to make a career at what they did best, fly aircraft.
Of the milestones, awards and distinctions earned by the Tuskegee Airmen, they themselves define their greatest achievements as "The Four Hurrahs."
First Hurrah: Graduating from Flying School at Tuskegee Army Air Field and being assigned to the 99th Pursuit Squadron and subsequently to the 332nd Fighter Group.
Second Hurrah: The 332nd Fighter Group escorted over 200 bombing missions over Europe during World War II and established a record that would never be equaled.
Last Hurrah: Winning the 2 May 1949 "First Ever" United States Air Force Weapons Meet to become the "First Top Guns". This would not have been possible without the dedication of our Maintenance Personnel. They were the "Best" in the United States Air Force and James Harvey's Crew Chief, Staff Sergeant Buford Johnson, was the "Best of the Best".
Final Hurrah: Receiving the "Congressional Gold Medal" on 29 March 2007.
COMBAT RECORD OF THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN
The so-called "Studies" conducted by the Army War College, depicted the Negro Soldier as lacking in "physical courage" and "psychological characteristics" which made him "Inherently Inferior" to the White Soldier. Therefore, the Negro could not fly or operate heavy equipment. However, the NAACP, the Negro Press and a couple of forward thinking Congressmen, put pressure on the War Department to form a Tactical Unit for Negroes. The War Department finally gave in and designated the 99th Pursuit Squadron to be manned by Negro Pilots graduating from Tuskegee Army Air Field. A "Designed To Fail" program was instituted for Negroes desiring to be pilots in the Army Air Corp. We overcame all of the obstacles (there were plenty) that were placed in our path, to become the "Best Fighter Group" in the Army Air Corp and subsequently the United State Air Force.
(This is a real story of racism and how the negro soldier that had real ability made real racists look like fools. Its an excellent example of individuals telling the government to go to hell. There is a big difference between real racism and made up racism or playing the "race card" of jessie jackson, al sharpton and obama.) Story Reports
“Initially, they said that I wasn’t physically qualified to fly. I, in essence, said, ‘To Hell with you, I am going to fly,’ ” Lt. Col. John Mosley with the Tuskegee Airmen said.
And fly he did — all the way into the history books. Mosley was part of the 477th Bomber Group, 318th — and failure was not an option.
“I recognized that they didn’t want me there,” John Mosley said. “And all you have to do to encourage me is to tell me that I can’t do or that I don’t want you.”

Since these nearly unlimited, un-constitutional powers are now law, obama, or a future "president", will be able to kidnap and disappear Americans. It could very easily be open season for the police state.

The NDAA of 2012 designates the entire earth, including the United States and its territories, one all-encompassing “battlefield” in the global “war on terror” and authorizes the detention of Americans suspected of terrorist ties indefinitely and without trial or even charges being filed that would necessitate a trial.

Hamdi, an American citizen whom the Government has classified as an “enemy combatant” for allegedly taking up arms with the Taliban during the conflict, was captured in Afghanistan .

Is the ram iran and the kurds
Living in the Age of the Ram and the Goat makes the case that we were on the verge of experiencing an era that will fulfill the prophetic vision of the ram and goat that is described in Daniel chapter 8 of the Old Testament. Daniel describes the ram as having two horns and these two horns represent the kings of the Medes and the Persians. It is no surprise to anyone that the modern day Persians would be manifested in the nation of Iran, but who are the Medes? The culture that makes the best case for being the descendant s of the Medes is the citizens of Kurdistan: the Kurds. So the ram can only be formed when Iran and the Kurds make some kind of political alliance. This being the case we were symbolically standing at the doorway of the fulfillment of Daniel’s vision. Notice that I said we were: as of this week we have stepped over the threshold into Daniel’s vision. The ram is now in place.
This week in an article in Today’s Zaman (dated 11 October 2011) titled Turkey-Iran Tension Escalates Over NATO radar system and PKK it became apparent that Iran and the Kurds have finally teamed up. Here is a quote from that article: “The war of words between Iran and Turkey over the latter's decision to host NATO's early-warning radar system may hint at a new crisis looming on the horizon between the two neighbors, with the Kurdish terrorist organization, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), in play as a possible trump card by Iran against Turkey.” The PKK is a Kurdish terrorist group that since 1984 has caused havoc in Turkey in its aspirations to attain statehood for Kurdistan. Kurdistan is a people that have no land; they are an ethnic minority in four different nations: Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Also up to now the Kurds have not been friends of Iran either for much of the same reasons as the Turks: fear that the Kurds might try to absorb part of Iran in their drive to become a state. However the “Arab Spring” has changed all that. As this article describes Turkey has become the standard bearer for NATO and its push for the Arab Spring so it is not a surprise that Turkey has stood against Syria in its fight against the Sunni opposition. Syria and Turkey at one time were allies; since Turkey has stood against Syria, Syria has now also allied itself with the PKK and has threatened to use them in any military strikes initiated by Syria against Turkey. It should be no surprise to anyone that Iran has orchestrated this Iran-Syria- Kurd triangle.
Turkey’s reaction to the Iran-Kurd alliance has become evident in an article from Fox News today. The article titled, Turkey Urges Iraq to Crackdown on Kurdish Rebels,had this to say: “Turkey's foreign minister said Thursday that Iraq should move to prevent Kurdish attacks on his country from Iraqi soil as the two countries renewed their commitment to fight the rebels.” It is interesting that Turkey is seeking assistance from Iraq to subdue the PKK (assistance it is not likely to receive).

Survival Experts Take Note Of This Ultimate Survivor

Swedish man survived in snowed-in car for two months
A Swedish man who spent two months snowed inside his car as temperatures outside dropped to -30C is "awake and able to communicate", according to the hospital treating him, where stunned doctors believe he was kept alive by the "igloo effect" of his vehicle.
The man, believed to be Peter Skyllberg, 44, who was found near the north-eastern town of Umeå on Friday by passers-by, told police he had been in the car since 19 December without food, surviving only by eating snow and staying inside his warm clothes and sleeping bag.
Dr Ulf Segerberg, the chief medical officer at Noorland's University Hospital, said he had never seen a case like it. The man had probably been kept alive, he said, by the natural warming properties of his snowed-in car which would have acted as "the equivalent of an igloo".
"This man obviously had good clothes; he's had a sleeping bag and he's been in a car that's been snowed over," said Segerberg. "Igloos usually have a temperature of a couple of degrees below 0C and if you have good clothes you would survive in those temperatures and be able to preserve your body temperature. Obviously he has managed to preserve his body temperature or he wouldn't have made it because us humans can't really stand being cooled down like reptiles, for instance, which can change the body temperature."
Two months was at the "upper limit" of what a person would be able to survive without food, added Segerberg.
Skyllberg was found emaciated and very weak by a pair of snowmobilers who thought they had found a crashed car. They dug down through about a metre of snow to see its driver lying on the back seat in his sleeping bag, according to Ebbe Nyberg, a local police officer.
"They were amazed at what they found: a man in his mid-40s huddled inside in a sleeping bag, starving and barely able to move or speak," Nyberg, working in Vaesterbotten county, was quoted as saying.
A rescuer told the local newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren: "It's just incredible that he's alive considering that he had no food, but also since it's been really cold for some time after Christmas."
Police said temperatures around Umeå had fallen to -30C. One doctor, Stefan Branth, said Skyllberg may have survived by going into hibernation mode. "A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that. He probably had a body temperature of around 31C which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up."
But Segerberg said he was "sceptical" of this suggestion. "We can't lower body temperature very much. A little bit we can, but if we lower body temperatures more than just a little bit, we lose consciousness and go into a coma," he said, cautioning that it was not his area of expertise.
(There is no known mechanism in humans that could set our internal thermostat to any other temperature than 37 °C, 98.6F (or thereabouts), so we lack a crucial prerequisite for hibernation. This man also had no yogi bear pic-a-nic basket. Note his igloo was a ford explorer so to emulate this you need this clunker/survivor vehicle.) Story Reports
Skyllberg is being treated in an ordinary ward in the University Hospital, where Segerberg said he was "feeling well". It was unclear how he had come to be stranded in the deserted lane.
Segerberg said that, even in a part of the world where sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow are the norm, this case was unusual. "There have been cases of people caught out in the mountains, and if they can dig themselves down in the snow they are able to survive and be found. But there must be something special in this case."
