Stay Informed: Recommended Resources for the Prepared
I take in an inordinate amount of information on a daily basis. While such overload is unnatural, and likely unhealthy, for the modern human being, I occupy my intake of such with information that is pertinent to our contemporary survival and security. In other words, I don’t watch cat videos or reality shows. I watch... Continue Reading →
Valuable Information on Terror Threat Preparedness

A Sickness Among a Sick Society
