<p><span style="font-size: 1.17em;">Metadata</span></p>
<p>I'm sure most of us don't have to be worried about drone strikes raining down on us because of our metadata...yet. However, it is important to consider the role of metadata in anonymity. Our metadata not only includes our phone records and web browsing habits, it also includes the data we store and possibly share online.</p>
<p>In previous articles, I've discussed the need for <a href="http://pocketsandshasha.blogspot.com/2014/05/privacy-and-anonymity-eroding.html">anonymity online</a> and while using your mobile phone, so today let's talk about our files and metadata. Metadata is generally embedded within our files and gives information about the file (author, date created, etc.)</p>

<h3>Company official says they are doing all they can; leak has slowed, but toxic metals still flow into Dan River</h3>
<p>The power company responsible for a North Carolina coal ash spill that has continued leak arsenic and mercury-laced burnt coal waste into a river used for drinking water pledged Friday to clean up the mess and apologized to communities affected by the crisis.</p>
<p>It’s not clear yet how the power company plans to fix the problem, or if it plans to remove the coal ash pond, amid charges by environmental activists that the river’s levels of arsenic are now far too high in the spill’s aftermath.</p>
<p>Just a few miles downstream from where the power plant, shut in 2012, spilled 82,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River in Eden, North Carolina lies the regional hub of <a href="http://www.danville-va.gov/index.aspx?NID=1725" target="_blank">Danville, Va.</a>, a town of 43,000, where Duke Energy representatives met with city <a href="http://danville-va.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?clip_id=913" target="_blank">council members and the public Friday</a> to describe the ongoing spill and what the company was doing about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Duke Energy official Paul Newton talked about what the spill, which he said has now slowed to a trickle from the flood that happened days before.</p>
<p>“We apologize. We apologize for the accident that happened at our Dan River site,” Newton said. “We are working 24 hours a day to permanently plug that leak.”</p>
<p>In addition to plugging the leak, Newton said Duke intends to clean up the river.</p>
<p>“Whatever it may be, you have our complete one hundred percent commitment to make it right. We take full responsibility.”</p>
<div><h2>Toxic chemicals</h2>
</div>
<div><p>The coal plant came online in the late 1940s, Newton said, describing how a storm water pipe that ran below the coal ash pond broke, letting ash flow into the Dan. Most of the pipe is made of the corrugated metal.</p>
<p>Critics say the plant operator did not notify the public about the Sunday’s spill until Monday, and Newtown addressed those charges.</p>
<p>“I’ve heard that Danville wished it got more precise information early,” he said, before adding that his company did the best it could after finding out the spill had started Sunday at 2 p.m. “It was as accurate as we knew.”</p>
<p>“We believe we complied with required notifications. I think there’s going to be lessons learned for all of us for rapid notifications,” he said.</p>
<p>The leak has proved a vexing challenge for Duke officials, who have thus far failed to end the leak with the use of an inflatable bladder stuffed into the river. Newton said the company has tried three times.</p>
<p>“As much as we wanted it to stop yesterday, life’s not that simple,” Newton said.</p>
<p>The Duke representative told city officials that special materials which are not immediately available are needed to plug the leak. The problem requires a unique engineering solution.</p>
<p>“You can’t just run out there and cap the end and think you’ve got it solved.”</p>
<p>Right now, Duke’s plan is to plug both the break in the storm water pipe itself and plug the end of the pipe that runs into the river, damming the area of the coal ash pond around the pipe with stone to let engineers work on the pipe itself and keep the water that fills the pond off the breach in the plug.</p>
<p> </p>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"><ins><ins id="aswift_3_anchor"></ins></ins></ins><br />
<p> </p>
<p>“So then when we get those bladders in there, those plugs in there, then I would say, I feel like and I’m not an engineer, but very stable at that point. Much more stable and that’s going to happen in the very near term. I can’t give you an exact time as to when those plugs will be on either side of the break, but it’s going to happen sooner rather than later” Newton said.</p>
<p>“If it takes years we’re there for years.”</p>
<p>In response to questions from the public, Newton emphasized that Duke’s tests say drinking water is completely safe for consumption. Danville has also tested the city’s drinking water and determined it’s safe.</p>
<p>“It is safe before and after the filtration system,” <a href="http://www.newsadvance.com/news/state/duke-energy-we-apologize/article_960cc835-44b5-57a9-871a-148d90d1170e.html">Newton said, according to the Lynchburg News Advance</a>, adding that levels of pollutants were exceeded state standards for water quality. ”It tasted great. I’m not concerned about the drinking water in Danville, Virginia.”</p>
<p><a href="http://appvoices.org/">But Appalachian Voices, an environmental group, said its evaulation of the river itself raises significant</a> concerns.</p>
<p>“The arsenic level at the spill site was 95.1 parts per billion, 9.5 times the recommended drinking water standard. Downstream samples also exceeded the federal recommended drinking water or freshwater standards for aluminum, iron, manganese and lead,” the group said in a statement.</p>
<p>The plant <a href="http://bible.us/1/isa.20.kjv" class="verseLink" target="_blank">is 20</a> miles downstream from the Danville’s water intake.</p>
<p>Eric Chance, Appalachian Voices’ water quality specialist fears that what he says was a 24 hour gap in notification of the public by Duke has put people in danger, calling it “one of the most disturbing aspects” of what happened at the Dan River site.</p>
<p>“We will never know what the acute exposure of these harmful chemicals was when they were likely at their most toxic levels.”</p>

<p>The Sochi Olympics begin very soon, and while many are excited about this, some of us are trying to read between the lines. In the past few weeks we’ve seen a campaign to <del>condition</del> inform us of any threat of terror at the Sochi games.</p>
<p>First it was <a title="Dagestan militants, 'black widows'" href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/21/world/europe/russia-dagestan-unrest/index.html?iid=article_sidebarhttp://www.cnn.com/2014/01/21/world/europe/russia-dagestan-unrest/index.html?iid=article_sidebar" target="_blank">black widows</a>, and suicide bombers. Then came non-specific warnings. In the past few days we’ve seen warnings regarding “<a title="Olympic Threat: US Warns Airlines About Toothpaste Tube Bomb – ABC News" href="http://www.essentialprepper.com/olympic-threat-us-warns-airlines-toothpaste-tube-bomb-abc-news/" target="_blank">toothpaste terrorists</a>” (yeah, really) and more non-specific warnings. We’ve seen polls that say <a title="CNN poll: 57% of Americans think terror attack likely at Sochi Games" href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/05/world/europe/russia-sochi-winter-olympics/" target="_blank">more than half of Americans</a> believe a terror attack will occur at the winter Olympics this year. Just a few days ago, a “specific threat” was announced by U.S. officials:</p>

<p>Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, one of the biggest annual sporting events in the United States.

<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1913" alt="Super Bowl MetLife" src="http://www.essentialprepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/348481_Super-bowl-syria.jpg" width="650" height="365"/></p>
<p>Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, one of the biggest annual sporting events in the United States. Being such a high profile event, <a title="Super Bowl XLVIII security: Inside the event's secret command center" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/super-bowl-xlviii-security-inside-the-events-secret-command-center/" target="_blank">security is very tight</a>, and has been for the week or so prior. The command center has been setup, filled with military, law enforcement, federal agencies, and even utility companies.</p>
<p>There have been rumors of a false flag event taking place. While we get these rumors and reports during nearly all high profile events, that doesn't mean we shouldn't prepare or investigate these rumors.</p>
<p>The first rumors I heard were from Before It's News, who <a title="SuperBowl False Flag " href="http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/01/superbowl-false-flag-treasonbowl-letter-sent-to-before-its-news-2882682.html" target="_blank">published an article</a> on their site they claim was sent to them via Postal mail. In this letter we reportedly hear from some of the people involved with the construction of the MetLife building, and other disturbing claims of a false flag attack during the Super Bowl.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1914" alt="MetLife Stadium" src="http://www.essentialprepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/ny_g_metlife_view_576x324.jpg" width="576" height="324"/></p>
<p>On its face, this letter wouldn't be too much of an issue. It isn't difficult to see all of the failed predictions from the last Super Bowl, or the predictions that the London Olympics were going to host a large scale terrorist attack. Like I said, these rumors and predictions happen a lot with high profile events.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there are some very worrying news reports that the U.S. is already preparing to <a title="US to blame Syria for possible Super Bowl attack: Expert" href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/01/30/348481/us-super-bowl-attack-falls-ill-on-syria/">blame Syria for any possible Super Bowl attack</a>. This is what was happening right before 9/11. The media was used to condition our thinking, and we are being conditioned again to accept that Syria (or other brown terrorists) are the ones to blame.</p>
<p>Add to this the recent news of a <a title="Authorities investigate envelopes containing white powder sent to hotels near MetLife Stadium" href="http://www.essentialprepper.com/authorities-investigate-envelopes-containing-white-powder-sent-hotels-near-metlife-stadium/">white powder substance</a> that was sent in letters to some hotels near the MetLife stadium. Though the letters <a title="FBI: Pre-Super Bowl white powder deemed not hazardous" href="http://www.essentialprepper.com/fbi-pre-super-bowl-white-powder-deemed-hazardous/">proved to be harmless</a>, the message is clear: be afraid. This is the same conditioning that went on directly after 9/11. The anthrax letters were clear signals that we are to live in a constant state of anxiety and fear.</p>
<p>Regardless of your opinion on whether or not we'll see a terrorist (false flag or not) attack during the Super Bowl this year, I hope you can agree that it is prudent to be prepared in case our fears are realized.</p>
<p>Here are a few things to perhaps keep in mind if an attack does take place tomorrow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Water - We've seen how fragile our water supply is by what is taaking place in West Virginia. A terrorist attack could include contamination of our water supply. If you are going grocery shopping before the game, be sure to pick up a few extra gallons of water to store (one gallon per person per day) for an emergency.</li>
<li>Food - If a terrorist attack does take place, normal travel may be affected; this also includes supply lines. Be sure to have enough food on hand in case martial law is put into place.</li>
<li>Pre-determined meetup locations - If you and your loved ones are separated during a terrorist attack, it may be difficult or impossible to find each other once chaos begins. To avoid this, have pre-planned locations where you will meet.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Water - Top Priority</h2>
<p>Water is one factor of prepping or survival that takes precedence over everything else. From drinking and cooking, to sanitation, human bodies need water more than anything. The recent storms caused by the polar vortex and the chemical spill in West Virginia point to a very real need for water storage.</p>
<p>An average person needs to drink about 2 quarts (half gallon) of water per day. Increasing activity will change that estimate. Keep in mind, you'll also need water for cleaning, cooking, and sanitation. Therefore, it is recommended to have (<em>at a minimum</em>) one gallon per person per day in emergency water storage. How many days worth of emergency water storage should you keep? FEMA recommends 3 days, the Red Cross recommends 7.</p>

<p>The U.S. Government and the mainstream media is holding to a story that has been riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. It doesn’t matter, really. The masses are still eating it up. Sure, there are those of us who are crying out that this was a staged event, but our voices are quickly muted in the cacophonous rancor of the masses. To top it off, the government and MSM are now trying to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/23/tamerlan-tsarnaev-mysterious-muslim-radical_n_3141919.html">put the alleged “bombers” and anti-war websites in the same camp</a>.</p>

<p>I've seen preppers, doomsdayers, and chicken littles all running around for that past 15 years trying to warn everyone about what is coming. We've been <a href="http://politicsandpreppers.com/prepping/who-said-preppers-are-crazy">called crazy</a>, we've ostracized ourselves from our friends, family, and co-workers. Enough is enough. I had an epiphany last night about how to bring it all down.</p>
<p>Every single one of us has the power to bring the system to a sudden halt; we just need faith that we can live on our own. What if we all quit our jobs today? I mean nearly everyone. Do you realize that in a day or two the global elite would be taking us seriously? Do you realize how that would screw up their plans?</p>

<p>From then on, the U.S. and South Korea have been going back and forth with N. Korea; each time more diplomacy is lost. Now we are at the point where there is very little diplomacy left. There aren't a whole lot of options left these days and the news keeps getting more and more grim.</p>

<h2>Gun Control, Where?</h2>
<p>Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 15 months or so, you know there is a huge push for "gun control". The push got really heated earlier this year, though the talk has died down some to make room for <a title="The Run Up To War With China" href="http://familypreppingforthefuture.com/blog/2013/04/08/the-run-up-to-war-with-china/">demonizing China</a>.</p>

This morning, there are news reports of a man <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/man-bb-gun-arrested-obamas-motorcade-18912524#.UWQUqKvtiFc">pointing what appeared to be a rifle at President Obama</a>. It turns out, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/conn-police-arrest-man-pulled-rifle-like-bb-gun-obama-motorcade-passed-article-1.1311368">the man pointed a BB gun</a>. Luckily, the Secret Service didn't shoot on sight, they must have <em>somehow</em> known he wasn't a threat. As a double whammy against the American psyche,<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/us/politics/obama-in-connecticut-to-push-for-gun-control.html?_r=0">this happened while giving a speech on gun <del>confiscation</del> control in Connecticut</a>.</p>

<h4>Hackers: A Threat To Everything We Know</h4>
<p>There have been an increasing amount of news stories lately about hackers. It seems that they are all coming out of the woodwork at once. There have been major news articles detailing alleged Iranian, and North Korean hacking incidents this year.</p>

<h4>Hackers: A Threat To Everything We Know</h4>
<p>There have been an increasing amount of news stories lately about hackers. It seems that they are all coming out of the woodwork at once. There have been major news articles detailing alleged Iranian, and North Korean hacking incidents this year.</p>
<p>Late last month, <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/03/20/korea-cyber-hacking-idINDEE92J04P20130320" target="_blank">South Korea responded to a hacking incident</a>. At the time of reporting, the culprits were unknown although <a href="http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/20/17380277-south-korea-on-alert-after-hackers-strike-banks-broadcasters?lite" target="_blank">the finger was quickly pointed at North Korea</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Police and government officials declined to speculate on whether North Korea, which has threatened to attack both South Korea and the United States after it was hit with United Nations sanctions for its February nuclear test, was behind the cyberattack.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It worried me after 9/11 when the fingers began pointing to Bin Laden within minutes of the planes striking the towers. It bothers me that there are so many hacking incidents where the damage is unknown, but the perpetrator is known immediately.</p>

Tensions are definitely escalating, and I would not be surprised to see hostilities further increase; inversely proportionate to the coming economic collapse.</p>
<blockquote><p>North Korea said Monday it will suspend operations at a factory complex it has jointly run with South Korea, pulling out more than 53,000 North Korean workers and moving closer to severing its last economic link with its rival as tensions escalate.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>The Chinese Elements</h2>
<p>The mainstream media, is taking Chinese focus on North Korea delicately, but it looks to me as if a slow demonization campaign is slowly creeping in. I can't figure the reasons behind the slow drip. Perhaps TPTB are trying to keep panic to a minimum. We sure wouldn't want the masses who are aware that <a href="http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/moneymatters/ss/How-Much-US-Debt-Does-China-Own.htm">China holds enormous amounts of U.S. debt</a> to begin worrying about a war with China.</p>
