<p>BREAKING NEWS UPDATE concerning a directive involving the United States Marine Corps reserve units via MARADMINS number 550/19, signed on Oct. 3, 2019, authorized by Brigadier General Daniel L. Shipley, Director, Manpower Plans and Policy.</p>
<p>Notably, Brigadier General Daniel L. Shipley was nominated by President Trump for the rank of major general, according to a Jan. 16, 2019<span> </span><a href="https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/1733321/general-officer-announcements/">Defense.gov press announcement</a>. Before serving in his current role, Shipley served as the deputy director, Program Analysis and Evaluation, Department of Programs and Resources for the U.S. Marines.</p>
<p>This new order is summarized as, “MARINES ORDERED TO ACTIVE DUTY ISO DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES.”<span> </span><em>(The term “ISO” means In Support Of.”)<span> </span></em>(<a href="https://www.marines.mil/News/Messages/Messages-Display/Article/1979422/manpower-guidance-for-activation-and-deactivation-of-reserve-component-marines">See full text of the order here</a>.)<em><br/></em></p>
<p>Note: There is disinfo being circulated about this order, claiming it was cancelled, but the cancelled order is 300/14, not 500/19. In fact, this new order 500/19<span> </span><em>replaces</em><span> </span>a lot of previous orders, reestablishing the urgency of the situation and making sure any action to defend the Homeland is authorized by orders that are in good standing.</p>
<p>Many observers are concerned that with Democrats like<span> </span><a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/03/rashida-tlaib-democrats-exploring-ways-to-arrest-trump-cabinet-members/">Rep.

<h2>Alex Jones reminds us: Trump has long planned to activate the U.S. Marines to stop an illegal coup</h2>
<p>I spoke on the phone with Alex Jones today about this breaking news, and he told me, “I talked to a high level Trump confidant concerning what Trump would do if the deep state attempted an illegal coup. Trump said they would call out the marines and surround the White House, then legally and lawfully pursue the originators of the criminal coup.”</p>
<p>This high-level confidant is someone who is very close to the President, and who is familiar with the President’s plans for how to deal with any attempt by the deep state to carry out an illegal coup attempt.</p>
<p>We urge all lawful, pro-America organizations and individuals to<span> </span><strong>prepare to defend your President<span> </span></strong>against an illegal coup attempt in the coming weeks or months.</p>

<h2>Details of the military order to U.S. Marines: “threats in the Homeland” … “will come with little or no warning”</h2>
<p>Does the following order describe an activation of U.S. Marines reserve units to prepare for an anticipated hot coup attempt against our President? While some might downplay the order as a routine personnel organization directive, you can read the highlights here and decide for yourself.</p>
<p>The highlights of the order (order # 550/19),<span> </span><a href="https://www.marines.mil/News/Messages/MARADMINS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found at this Marines.mil link</a>, are as follows: (bold emphasis added) (<a href="https://www.marines.mil/News/Messages/Messages-Display/Article/1979422/manpower-guidance-for-activation-and-deactivation-of-reserve-component-marines">you can also try this direct link to see if it’s responding</a>)</p>
<p><em>ORDER TO ACTIVE DUTY TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO A MAJOR DISASTER OR EMERGENCY.</em></p>
<p><em>TOTAL FORCE MOBILIZATION, ACTIVATION, INTEGRATION, AND DEACTIVATION PLAN (MAID-P).</em></p>
<p><em>In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, U.S. Code, following a request for Federal assistance<span> </span><strong>in response to a major disaster or emergency within the United States</strong>. Requests for Federal assistance<span> </span><strong>will come with little warning</strong>. As required, the Marine Corps must rapidly mobilize RC units and personnel IAW this MARADMIN in order to<span> </span><strong>respond to threats in the Homeland</strong>.</em></p>
<p>This order specifically references the President of the United States as the commanding officer:</p>
<p><em>SECNAV’s delegated authority may be exercised only after:</em><span> </span>(Note: SECNAV means Secretary of the Navy)</p>
<p><em>…2.B.2. When directed by the President in support of (ISO) a request for assistance (RFA) from a primary Federal department or agency…</em></p>
<p>This order also invokes the “Marine Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO)” as well as a large contingent of U.S. Marines forces:</p>
<p><em>USNORTHCOM and USINDOPACOM requests EPLO activation through its USMC service component, Marine Forces North (MARFORNORTH) and Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC).</em></p>
<p><em>COMMARFORNORTH/COMMARFORPAC should consider using on hand Active Component (AC) and Active Reserve (AR) personnel to meet immediate IA requirements.</em></p>
<p>The order also appears to underscore something called, “involuntary activation authority” as explained here:</p>
<p><em>RC personnel can be sourced from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) or Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) program with the involuntary activation authority residing with SECNAV and SECDEF.</em></p>
<p><em>4.C.3. Ensure coordination is conducted with MARFORPAC and MARFORNORTH regarding the expected or planned RC IA mobilizations either in a voluntary or involuntary status.</em></p>
<p><em>4.C.6. As required, act on delegated SECNAV authorities for volunteer mobilization orders under §12301(d) for the initial 72 hour Immediate Response Authority period IOT facilitate a rapid time-sensitive response.</em></p>

<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_top"><strong>By Rachel Stoltzfoos</strong> </div>
<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_top"> French President Francois Hollande proposed constitutional amendments and a three-month extension of state of emergency measures Monday that will severely limit the civil liberties of French citizens.</div>
<p>After a series of coordinated terrorist attacks left 129 dead in Paris Friday, Hollande immediately declared a state of emergency, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/facts-frances-state-emergency-145256388.html" target="_blank">based on a rarely used 1955 law</a> that allows the state to conduct warrantless searches of private property, impose curfews, restrict public gatherings and movements of people, confiscate weapons at will and take over the press.</p>
<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inlineleft"></div>
<p>By law the state of emergency cannot last more than 12 days, but Hollande asked for a three-month extension Monday. He also <a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/france-state-emergency-months-151116155912054.html" target="_blank">proposed a series of constitutional amendments</a> to increase the state’s surveillance powers and give it power to strip convicted terrorists and bi-nationals who commit hostile acts toward France of citizenship.</p>
<p>Hollande said the amendments are necessary so the state doesn’t have to “resort to the state of emergency” to deal with terror threats. “We must change our constitution to act against terrorism,” he said Monday.</p>
<p>The proposed amendments will also give the state “more sophisticated methods” to crack down on weapons trafficking, a quicker way to deport foreigners considered a threat, and the ability to bar bi-nationals considered a terror risk from entering the country.</p>
<p>French conducted <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/french-authorities-raid-suspected-islamists-after-paris-attacks-1447661092" target="_blank">168 raids Sunday night</a>, turning up cash, bulletproof vests, various types of guns and a rocket launcher, reported The Wall Street Journal. Police put 104 people on house arrest and detained 23 others.</p>
<p>Hollande has promised a “merciless” fight against ISIS in response to the attack. French fighter jets <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/16/france-drops-20-bombs-on-isis-capital-in-retaliatory-strike/" target="_blank">dropped 20 bombs</a> on the group’s defacto Syrian capital of Raqqa Sunday night, destroying a command center and training camp.</p>

</div>
<div class="secondPar"><p>The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is not only demanding interest on what it says were overpayments, but Washington is ready to call in debt collectors to recoup the cash.</p>
</div>
<div class="thirdPar"><p>That is not the only blow faced by families whose lives were devastated by the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9640076/Hurricane-Sandy-New-York-in-lockdown-as-Frankenstorm-speeds-towards-US.html" target="_blank"><strong>October 2012 hurricane which claimed 117 lives in the US</strong></a> and caused an estimated $50 billion (£32.5 billion) damage.</p>
</div>
<div class="fourthPar"><p>FEMA has, under pressure from senators, started investigating allegations that engineers’ reports into the damage suffered by home owners were deliberately doctored to deny victims insurance payouts.</p>
</div>
<div class="fifthPar"><p>It is a fresh blow to an agency whose reputation was<strong> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1499425/Sacked-crisis-boss-blames-officials-for-Katrina-chaos.html">severely tarnished by its response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.</a></strong></p>
</div>
<div class="body"><p>“When we first started digging we just didn’t believe what our constituents were telling us,” said Jason Tuber, a senior aide to Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the victims.</p>
<p>“I didn’t believe they could be screwing things up so badly.”</p>
<p>But it turned out that things were even worse than thought.</p>
<p>“I have been working in government for 10 years and this is the most egregious thing we have come across.”</p>
<p>Following <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9640080/Hurricane-Sandy-seen-from-space-Nasa-video.html"><strong>Hurricane Sandy,</strong></a> FEMA paid out $1.4 billion to nearly 183,000 victims in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.</p>
<p>Now 3,600 families in five states have been told they will have to pay back $24 million between them.</p>
<p>They are facing an average bill of $6,000 for what FEMA describes as an overpayment.</p>
<p>Nearly two thirds of the families who have received demands have an annual household income of less than $50,000.</p>
<div class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext"></div>
<p>The agency is demanding not only the money back but also one per cent interest, if the debt is not repaid in 30 days.</p>
<p>After 90 days it rises to six per cent and then, after 120 days, the debt is handed over to the US Treasury, which can impose further penalties and call in collection agencies.</p>
<p>Senators from New Jersey, New York and Louisiana have joined forces to sponsor a bill that would allow FEMA to write off the debt, as it eventually did with Katrina.</p>
<p>The agency is not only facing criticism over its pursuit of victims, but it is also under fire for failing to tackle an insurance scandal which has seen thousands of families either receiving derisory compensation or being denied any payouts at all.</p>
<p>In addition to paying out money on behalf of the government, FEMA was supposed to manage the flood insurance programme.</p>
<p><a href="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sandy-jogger_2382669b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-43457" src="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sandy-jogger_2382669b-580x362.jpg" alt="sandy-jogger_2382669b" width="771" height="481"/></a></p>
<p>An investigation by the CBS documentary 60 Minutes found that engineers’ reports were being doctored to make it appear that the damage had not been caused by Sandy, but was the result of long-term structural decay.</p>
<p>In other cases the extent of the damage was underplayed to reduce the insurance companies’ liability.</p>
<p>Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have joined Robert Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey in demanding a congressional hearing into the scandal.</p>
<p>FEMA has started negotiations to settle more than 2,200 court cases brought by families who were denied payouts.</p>
<p>The agency also defended its stance on demanding money back from families who, it says, were overpaid.</p>
<p>“FEMA is committed to being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars and ensuring that eligible applicants receive the disaster assistance they need,” a spokesman said.</p>
<p>“We are also committed to ensuring that proper safeguards are in place to make sure federal dollars are correctly spent. Throughout the disaster relief application process, FEMA performs quality checks and audits for payments made in error.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, whether through fraud, human or accounting errors, or other reasons, assistance sometimes goes to individuals who are not eligible. Federal law requires FEMA and other federal agencies to recover improper payments.”</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A couple of tips you should know though.</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Don’t use paraffin wax. It tends to crack. Cheese wax warms slower and heats to a higher temperature and thus plies better to your cheese shapes and sizes. Cheese wax is also less crumbly and you can use less of it than paraffin. Remember, it’s reusable too!</li>
<li>I have yet to find a hard cheese that I can’t wax. So long as it’s hard enough to be in a solid block, you can wax it.</li>
<li>You don’t need cheesecloth, but if you desire to use it prior to your wax layers, it may be helpful getting the wax off. I haven’t had any problems without it though.</li>
<li>It’s best to melt the cheese wax in a double boiler as opposed to direct heat. Any pan you use to melt your cheesewax in will be your designated cheese wax pan. They are impossible to get clean afterwards. So be forewarned.</li>
<li>The less you handle the cheese with your hands the better. Use food handling gloves.</li>
<li>Dip the cheese in for about 5 seconds, then bring it out and HOLD it there for about 90 seconds. Do 3 layers of dipping and then one layer of brushing. (Using the natural boar’s hair brush) The reason why you want to use this kind of brush specifically is because other brushes will apply the cheese wax too thick, or with crevices, etc. This kind of brush is perfect for cheese waxing.</li>
<li>You don’t need to use food-grade labels for your cheese, however, it’s smart to use a label on the outside of your cheese just prior to the last wax layer. That way you don’t have to worry about it falling off. Be sure to label not only the kind of cheese it is, but when it was waxed as well.</li>
<li>Don’t store your waxed cheese in additional containers. Just stack them on top of like cheeses and let them breathe. I like to hang them from the ceiling in a “fishing net” kind of contraption.</li>
<li>Be sure to check for pockets or crevices that didn’t get sealed. Four total thin layers of wax is a good practice. There’s no need to do more coats than that.</li>
<li>The cheese surface should be clean and dry prior to waxing.</li>
<li>If your 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> coats are applied while the prior coat is still just a bit warm you will get a better adhesion.</li>
<li>Cheese wax can be re-used several times. You can simply wash it in warm water, let it dry and then re-melt it. So when you remove cheese wax from your cheeses, you can simply reheat and reapply the wax. Simply heat the cheese wax to about 200 degrees F. This will also ensure that you’re not transferring any bacteria or unnecessary moisture to your new cheese–even when you’re putting it on your cheese which is cooler.</li>
<li>You do not need to filter the cheese wax after you melt it. So don’t worry about that step.</li>
<li>Your first coat will have some unevenness to it. Don’t worry. The 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> coat will even it out just fine.</li>
<li>Cheese will respond to gravity. So using cheesewax vs. paraffin is important as it’s more pliable. I periodically turn my cheese in view of the gravitational pull.</li>

There’s no need to add any additional chemicals to it when it’s just going to be sitting in a container. If your water needs treatment, do so at the point of using it, not prior to storing it.</p>
<p><strong>Water Storage Myth:</strong> Don’t store your water barrels on cement.<br/> <strong>Water Storage Fact</strong>: Actually, there’s always a missing component to this myth. The key is not to store your water barrels on HEATED cement, and even that’s questionable advice. To store your water in your basement on the cement floor is just fine. There’s no need to make your barrels less stable by putting them on 2 x 4s. Cement only leaches chemicals when it gets hot. If you’re going to store your water in your garage, where the sun heats up the connecting driveway cement, then yes, I’d consider raising your barrels up on floor boards or such.</p>
<p><strong>Water Storage Myth:</strong> Stored water tastes bad.<br/> <strong>Water Storage Fact:</strong> Stored water is merely lacking oxygen. You can get it back to tasting great simply by pouring it back and forth a couple of times between a couple of pitchers, or glasses. This will infuse oxygen back into your water. </p>

<p><strong>Water Storage Myth:</strong> I’ve got a pool out back for our water storage, so I don’t need to store any otherwise.<br/> <strong>Water Storage Fact:</strong> One who has this opinion is taking a big risk, one which I would not venture to take. It’s presuming that no animal waste, nuclear waste, or other biological poisoning will enter the pool water. Also, if there is a water shortage in your area, and your big pool is out there for all of the desperate folks to see, you’re simply begging for some dangerous self-defense scenarios. You might as well leave your car doors unlocked with your wallet on the front seat. In the event of a real emergency, I would ALWAYS recommend that families store water as well as presuming that their pool water supply will be available, thus preventing it from outdoor contaminates and ensuring that you have water to survive in the event of all possible scenarios.</p>
<p><strong>Water Storage Myth:</strong> I have iodine tablets and I know where the river is.<br/> <strong>Water Storage Fact:</strong> You and everybody else. Just how long do you think that river supply is going to be available to you and your family? How useful will that river supply be to you in the event of a flood? Iodine tables don’t do too well with cleaning out home and body parts. How much vital physical energy will it take you to fetch enough water for you and your family to survive long term? People who have this attitude sure are taking a huge gamble. Remember that conserving your own physical energy should be your first priority in an emergency. So purposefully putting yourself in a situation in which you need to work hard for water is short-sighted. Also, you’re assuming that your iodine tablets will take care of whatever is in the outdoor water, regardless of what it’s been exposed to. (See previous myth/fact example) If you have water stored in quality containers in your home, you can save your physical energy for other more important tasks, and you will ensure that your water supply is protected and is YOURS. Not only that, but chemical treatment of water is not the safest. Heating your water, such as boiling it, is by far the safest method of treating your water.</p>
<p>You’re also assuming that you won’t be <a href="http://preparednesspro.wordpress.com/category/disasters/quarantine-disasters/" target="_self">quarantined</a> and that the streets will be safe to travel.</p>

<div class="postinfo">Posted on <span class="postdate">September 20, 2013</span> by carinaragno</div>
<div class="entry"><p><a href="http://dogmaandgeopolitics.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/gmobama640x330.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10224" alt="GMObama640x330" src="http://dogmaandgeopolitics.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/gmobama640x330.jpg?w=714&h=374" height="241" width="468"/></a></p>
<p>(NaturalNews) A complete shutdown of the federal government is looming — to many Americans, this is actually a good thing — and Congress is scrambling to pass a so-called “Continuing Resolution” (CR) that will ensure our traitorous overlords have enough fiat cash on hand to continue with business as usual. But hiding in this upcoming appropriations bill is, you guessed it — the aptly named Monsanto Protection Act, in all its shameless atrocity.</p>
<p>According to a recent report by <i>Digital Journal</i>, House Republicans quietly inserted the previously abandoned — or so we all thought! — language from the inappropriately named “Farmer Assurance Provision” into the new appropriations legislation, where it is intended to be passed in secret. Since the traitors in Congress could not get their precious Monsanto Protection Act passed outright, they instead resorted to deception.</p>
<p>“The text of the bill the provision is tucked away in was released … by House Appropriations Committee Chairman, and recipient of Monsanto campaign contributions in 2010 and 2012, Harold Rogers of Kentucky,” writes Justin King for <i>Digital Journal</i>. “The controversial provision was almost repealed, until Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri opposed the bill. Blunt received campaign contributions in 2010 and 2012 from Monsanto.”</p>
<p>In other words, Monsanto paid off the most willing lackeys in Congress to re-insert language into an unrelated bill that will give the company and the rest of the biotechnology industry free reign to plant untested and potentially dangerous genetically modified (GM) crops without safety approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Additionally, the heinous provisions would block judges from ruling against GMO plantings, even if said GMOs are shown to be unsafe.</p>
<p>“The so-called Farmer Assurance Provision — misnamed because, frankly, the only ones who are assured about anything are GMO manufacturers like <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/Monsanto.html">Monsanto</a> – actually strips federal courts of the authority to halt the sale and planting of potentially hazardous genetically engineered crops while USDA is performing an environmental impact statement,” explains the Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) in a recent alert about the issue.</p>
<p>“It’s a huge blow to the justice system, completely overriding judicial safeguards that protect both farmers and the public.”</p>
<h1>Shootings, threats of war distracting public from what Congress is doing behind the scenes in secret</h1>
<p>So while the public is distracted with gun control, false flags and Syria propaganda, Congress is sneakily trying to erode what few safeguards remain with regards to GM crop plantings in the U.S. If the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/Monsanto_Protection_Act.html">Monsanto Protection Act</a> is passed as part of the emergency appropriations bill, it could spell the end of any semblance of oversight over GM crop approvals, which would further harm the average American farmer trying to grow non-GMO and organic crops.</p>
<p>“It is extremely disappointing to see the damaging ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ policy rider extended in the House spending bill,” says Colin O’Neil, director of government affairs for Center for Food Safety. “Hundreds of thousands of Americans called their elected officials to voice their frustration and disappointment over the inclusion of ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ this past spring. Its inclusion is a slap in the face to the American public and our justice system.”</p>
<p>Even though they often do not listen, our so-called representatives in Congress need to hear from all of us about their stealthy little plan to hide the Monsanto Protection Act in the new spending bill. Massive public outcry back in the spring was effective enough to at least stall the passage of the Monsanto Protection Act for a while. Now, a groundswell of opposition must emerge to kill this egregious affront to food liberty once and for all.</p>

<p>Print out your contact list, so your phone numbers aren’t stuck in the cloud. Some <a href="http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Communicate_if_Your_Government_Shuts_Off_Your_Internet">mail services</a> like Gmail allow you to export your online contact list in formats that are more conducive to paper, such as CSV or Vcard, and offer <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=24911" title="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=24911">step-by-step guides</a> on how to do this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Broadcast on the radio</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_band_radio" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_band_radio"><i>CB Radio:</i></a> Short for "Citizens Band" radio, these two-way radios allow communication over short distances on 40 channels. You can pick one up for about $20 to $50 at Radio Shack, and no license is required to operate it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio"><i>Ham radio</i>:</a> To converse over these radios, also known as "amateur radios," you have to obtain an operator's license from the FCC. Luckily, other Wired How-To contributors have already explained exactly <a href="http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Become_a_Ham_Radio_Operator" title="http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Become_a_Ham_Radio_Operator">what you need to do</a> to get one and use it like a pro.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMRS" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMRS"><i>GMRS</i>:</a> The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed land-mobile FM UHF radio service in the United States available for short-distance two-way communication. It is intended for use by an adult individual who possesses a valid GMRS license, as well as his or her immediate family members... They are more expensive than the walkie talkies typically found in discount electronics stores, but are higher quality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service"><i>Family Radio Service</i>:</a> The Family Radio Service (FRS) is an improved walkie talkie radio system authorized in the United States since 1996. This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band. It does not suffer the interference effects found on citizens' band (CB) at 27 MHz, or the 49 MHz band also used by cordless phones, toys, and baby monitors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbroadcasting" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbroadcasting"><i>Microbroadcasting</i>:</a> Microbroadcasting is the process of broadcasting a message to a relatively small audience. This is not to be confused with low-power broadcasting. In radio terms, it is the use of low-power transmitters to broadcast a radio signal over the space of a neighborhood or small town. Similarly to pirate radio, microbroadcasters generally operate without a license from the local regulation body, but sacrifice range in favor of using legal power limits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Phone</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><i>Set up a phone tree:</i> According to the <a href="http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm" title="http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm">American Association of University Women</a>, a phone tree is "a prearranged, pyramid-shaped system for activating a group of people by telephone" that can "spread a brief message quickly and efficiently to a large number of people." Dig out that contact list you printed out and follow the steps on the <a href="http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm" title="http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm">AAUW website</a> to spread the message down your pyramid of contacts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><i>Enable Twitter via SMS:</i> Though the thought of unleashing the Twitter fire hose in your text message inbox may seem horrifying, it would be better than not being able to connect to the outside world at all. The Twitter website has full instructions on <a href="http://support.twitter.com/entries/14014-twitter-phone-faqs" title="http://support.twitter.com/entries/14014-twitter-phone-faqs">how to redirect tweets to your phone</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alex Jones and infowars.com have a telephone number for people to listen to his radio show by phone, in case the internet goes down, or if you don't have internet. The phone in listen line is 512-646-5000.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Fax</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>If you need to quickly send and receive documents with lengthy or complex instructions, phone conversations may result in misunderstandings, and delivering the doc by foot would take forever. Brush the dust off that bulky old machine, establish a connection by phone first with the recipient to make sure his machine is hooked up, then fax away.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You may not need a fax machine to send or receive faxes if your computer has a dial-up fax application.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Getting back online</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>While it might be relatively easy for a government to cut connections by leveraging the major ISPs, there are some places they wouldn't get to so readily, like privately-owned networks and independent ISPs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Find the privately-run ISPs</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>In densely populated areas, especially in central business districts and city suburbs there are multiple home WiFi networks overlapping each other, some secure, some not. If there is no internet, open up your WiFi by removing password protection: If enough people do this it's feasible to create a totally private WiFi service outside government control covering the CBD, and you can use applications that run Bonjour (iChat on Mac for example) to communicate with others on the open network and send and receive documents. **needs more clarification</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are a private ISP, it's your time to shine. Consider allowing open access to your Wi-Fi routers to facilitate communication of people around you until the grid is back online.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Return to dial-up</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>According to an article in the BBC about <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12322948" title="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12322948">old tech's role in the Egyptian protests</a>, "Dial-up modems are one of the most popular routes for Egyptians to get back online. Long lists of international numbers that connect to dial-up modems are circulating in Egypt thanks to net activists We Re-Build, Telecomix and others."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dial-up can be slow. Often, there is a lightweight mobile version of a site that you can load from your desktop browser quickly despite the limitations of dial-up. Examples: <a href="http://mobile.twitter.com/" title="http://mobile.twitter.com">mobile.twitter.com</a>, <a href="http://m.facebook.com/" title="http://m.facebook.com/">m.facebook.com</a>, <a href="http://m.gmail.com/" title="http://m.gmail.com">m.gmail.com</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Ad-Hoc Networking</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>Most wireless routers, PCs, laptops, and even some ultramobile devices like cellphones have the ability to become part of an "ad hoc" network, where different "nodes" (all of the devices on the network) share the responsibility of transmitting data with one another. These networks can become quite large, and are often very easy to set up. If used properly by a tech-savvy person, such networks can be used to host temporary websites and chat rooms. There are many internet tutorials on the internet for ad hoc networking, so feel free to google some.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apple computers tend to have very accessible ad hoc functionality built in, including a pre-installed chat client (iChat) that will automatically set up an ad hoc "Rendezvous" chatroom among anybody on the network, without the need for an external service like AIM or Skype. Ad hoc network-hosting functionality is built in to the Wi-Fi menu.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Windows computers have several third-party ad hoc chat applications available (such as Trillian) and setting up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network is almost as simple as on a Mac.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Linux operating systems, of course, have plenty of third-party apps available, and most distros have ad hoc network-creation support built in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Get satellite access</b></p>
<p>You <i>can</i> have very, very slow internet if you have something similiar to an Iridium phone, which would allow you to do dial up at 2400 baud, which at least gives you e-mail. This will also work when your government has shut down GSM and telephone access, and will work pretty much anywhere on the planet. If you're in the right place, get yourself KA-SAT access (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KA-SAT" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KA-SAT">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KA-SAT</a>) which is satellite broadband and will not be routed through any internet exchange that certain local governments may monitor or block (unless that government is part of EU or er ... Uncle Sam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Packet Radio</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>Back to the '90s: There do exist shortwave packet-radio modems. These are also excruciatingly slow, but may get your e-mail out.</p>

<p>Have an air horn or other loud instrument handy. It may just come down to being able to alert people in your local geographic area, who would otherwise be unaware of an emergency. You may also want to learn a bit about Morse code and have a cheat sheet available.</p>

Discovery and artifact recovery.<br />
<br />
In October 1900, a team of sponge divers led by Captain Dimitrios Kondos had decided to wait out a severe storm hampering their sail back from Africa on the island of Antikythera, and they began diving for sponges off the island's coastline. In 1900, divers usually wore standard diving dresses — canvas suits and copper helmets — which allowed them to dive deeper and to stay submerged longer.<br />

The first to lay eyes on the shipwreck 60 metres down was Elias Stadiatos, who quickly signaled to be pulled to the surface. He described the scene as a heap of rotting corpses and horses lying on the sea bed. Thinking the diver had gone mad from too much carbon dioxide in his helmet, Kondos himself dove into the water, soon returning with a bronze arm of a statue. Until they could safely leave the island, the divers dislodged as many small artifacts as they could carry.<br />
<br />
Together with the Greek Education Ministry and Hellenic Navy, the sponge divers salvaged numerous artifacts from the waters. By the end of 1902, divers had recovered statues of a philosopher's head, a young boy, a discus thrower, the bronze Antikythera Ephebe of <i>ca.</i> 340 BC (now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens), a Hercules, a marble bull and a bronze lyre. Many other small and common artifacts were also found. On 17 May 1902, however, archaeologist Valerios Stais made the most celebrated find. When diving to search the area of the wreck, he noticed that one of the pieces of rock near him had a gear wheel embedded in it. It would soon be identified as the Antikythera mechanism; originally thought to be one of the first forms of a mechanised clock, it is now considered to be the world’s oldest known analog computer.<br />
<br />
The ship, a Roman merchant ship of some 300 tons, had sunk on a well-used trade route from the Eastern to the Western Mediterranean. The wreck and its contents are consistent with a date of 80–50 BC. The famous Jacques Cousteau recovered Pergamese coins from about 86–67 BC, which with Ephesian coins of 70–60 BC reinforces a view that this had been a treasure ship on its way to Rome including booty from Pergamon (circa 84 BC) after the First Mithradatic War. A reasonable date for the wreck is thus 85–60 BC. The ship itself is thought to built, at least in part, from much older timber, 200±43 BC. It has been speculated that the ship foundered because of its age, and perhaps because it was overloaded with treasures including a number of particularly large statues.<br />
