Along with the below post is THIS, discussing the outbreak of swine flu in Argentina. I have no way of verifying his reports, but Ferfal has been consistent in his reports, and he has blogged about Argentina for several years. Several people I know, know him.

His basic theme here in the linked post: Prepare NOW, before you need it.

I have my severe outbreak kit already made, do you?

For a while shortly after the announcement of the swine flu thing, there was ZERO hand sanitizer or face masks to be found in my area. And this was in the US, in the Midwest….. No one stocks the quantities needed when the whole country wants masks and hand sanitizer.

HERE is a link that you might find interesting and useful.

I suggest that you look at it, and put together a similar backup plan.

You can fit this under 2 beds and fit the rest into a closet.

Might come in handy for….something.

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Consider it a “spare tire” for your eating habits.

You have a spare tire for your car, right?

Rainy day fund?

Emergency stash? cash?

Why not have one for eating?

Via insty comes THIS….a senator’s office locks out protesters, Peaceful, law abiding, protesters, exercising their first amendment rights on public property. Called the police too.

Seems that they really don’t want to hear what the peasants want, and really don’t care. They probably think that they know what is best for those who elected them……

IMNSHO, government officials and their staff SHOULD fear their constituents wrath……And the way things have been going lately, they should greatly fear it, and change their ways…..Before they find their offices in ruins and themselves out of a job. If enough of this happened, then perhaps they would change their ways…..Or enough staff members would quit out of fear that they could not operate….

Either way, one might think that the constituents will remember this come election time. Lets hope that the videos are shown over and over and over by his opponent…

Trinity

64 years ago today, the first nuclear explosion occurred at the White Sands Proving ground near Alamogordo.

The result of 3 years of work, by countless people, and incredible expense, this explosion ushered in a new era of warfare.

The equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT, in a package that weighed about 10,000 pounds (5 tons). Total destruction in a package that could be carried in a single bomber.

Not bad for a bunch of scientists that had fled Hitler’s “final solution”

The scientists had to consider the possibility that the resulting heat would ignite the hydrogen and oxygen in the immediate area and incinerate all the observers.

But what the hell, they pulled the switch anyway….

Luckily, they were wrong, and nothing of the sort happened.

Wonder how long it will be until we have another explosion, initiated by some folks who dislike the US and its culture?

After all, you cannot put the Genie back in the bottle, and there is no real defense against such an occurrence.

Saw this on a bumper sticker (couldn’t get a photo though).

The end of an error

“What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them.What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”

Go HERE to read the rest of the letter. Please, take the time to read it.

Was he wrong then? Is he wrong in today’s political environment?

You decide.

I know what I think….

Shakey Pete has some interesting observations about Mr. O’s negotiating (or lack therof).

Even if ya like Obama (not likely if you read this blog) you still gotta ask yourself, where is ol’ pete wrong?

If they pander to the Muslims out of fear of reprisals. Just because the Muslims fail to follow the law and get punished for it, is no reason to excuse their behavior due to anger over that punishment.

Special treatment based on religion, culture, and ethnicity. Such a shame.

No wonder Britain is not the power it once was, a shadow of it’s former, world dominating self.

Me, I’d deport them, citizens or not.

Soon we will be doing the same here in the US, (the pandering that is, not the deporting) We already are with illegal Mexican immigrants, and southern California is nearly another country (and heading towards Zimbabwe like status at a high rate of speed…).
