Rick Perry declares Texas a disaster area because of swine flu

Ron Paul on the swine flu situation

Did you know he is also a physician?

Swine Flu Symptoms

Swine flu symptoms include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/key_facts.htm

The scary thing about swine flu, besides the possibility of making you sick or killing you, which I am not too concerned about at this point, is that if it gets worse the government could take this opportunity to grab more power or shutdown travel.

This goes back to why I have this web site and blog. Be prepared to bugout or be prepared to stay at home and have the water, food, etc stored up so you can stay there and not go hungry and thirsty.

If you are really worried about it, here is the mask to buy:
3M 8000 Particle Respirator N95, 30-Pack

financial advice idiot - debt free

he is recommending mutual funds instead of gold or silver. He said silver has no value... He says they have a crappy return on investment...He mentioned paper money in the same breath as silver and gold.

Does this fool know that we are creating trillions of dollars out of thin air? Did you know, mr. jackass that you can't create trillions of ounces of gold out of thin air? Anyone who knows anything about supply and demand knows his advice is stupid.

Did this idiot ever compare the gain of silver vs. the dollar or stock market since the year 2000?

Idiots on the radio are still idiots.

Chinese and Russian cyberspies 'penetrate US electrical grid'

Foreign spies have infiltrated the US electrical grid, leaving behind software programs that could disrupt the system in a time of war, American national security officials have claimed.

You still need reasons to be prepared after 9/11, katrina, etc, etc, or is thousands of years of history not enough for you? Go have a latte and watch Friends, you dinosaur.

Wars, disasters, shortages, breakdowns of society are INEVITABLE and history is FULL, FULL, FULL of them. You ain't no different.

This is the most biased outrageous crap I have seen

shelf reliance food rotation system review

I bought one of these Cansolidator Pantry 40 Can Food Rotation System
... easy to put together, and I feel relief that stuff won't be forever stuck in the back of the pantry till someday I need it and it will be spoiled.

It saved space, but it most importantly becomes a SUPER SIMPLE way to handle first in, first out food system. You put it in the top part and it rolls down to the bottom part, so you are are always taking out the bottom part the stuff that was put in first. Cool. Highly recommended.
