Quo Warranto A legal proceeding during which an individual's (corporation) right to hold an office (enfranchisement) or governmental privilege (censorship) is challenged.

Corporations like google, twitter and you tube (let’s call them the “collective”) are considered an “individual” in statutory law.

August 13, 2019 06:31

Going off grid is a dream for many. It has become the ultimate symbol of freedom; living your own life, your own way, without having to concern yourself with what society is doing.

13 Ways to Use Crushed Eggshells in the Home & Garden

…and How to Pasteurize Them Before You Use Them

First I do a little pasteurizing, because I figure it’s better to be safe than sorry when working with raw…

How To Make Pepper Spray

By KJ Barber

August 12, 2019 07:47

Even though pepper spray has been around for a long time, I have never bought any. One of the reasons is because I’m a little unsure of all the ingredients, even though they are listed…or, supposed to be listed on the container. Even if the list is accurate, it rarely gives the amount of each added item. And, do we really want to be exposed to anything potentially harmful that lists things with 3 or more…

Chemical weapons and chemical warfare have been banned indefinitely under the 1925 Geneva Protocol which should infer that we have little to worry about as far as dying from asphyxiating gas or having our lungs melted by chlorine, right?

Unfortunately, a quick trip down memory lane reveals that tyrannical dictatorships, rogue mercenary groups, and terrorists have…

What Really Happens if You Eat a Bucket of Survival Food When SHTF

By Rich M.

July 19, 2019 07:02

Food: it seems to be the one constant in prepping. We start out buying food and many of us are still buying food, long after we think we’ve got all our other preps in place. No matter how much food we have in our stockpiles, we never really think we have enough. So, instead of calling it “done”, we just add another month’s worth.

There’s nothing wrong with…

The common mallow is most visible when it develops flowers in a stunning lilac color. Besides being known by this name, common mallows are also called cheese weed since the leaves resemble cheese wheels.

The Complete Guide To Cleaning And Lubricating Your Ar-15

June 20, 2019 07:50

It was a long time ago, but I still remember basic training. The first day, we were issued our M-16s. Then we were told we had to clean them. I was fortunate, in that I had owned guns before and had an idea of how to clean one. But comparing what my dad expected of me, when I cleaned a gun, and what my drill sergeant expected of me was like comparing a child’s ring from the…

One of the tricks that makes prepping easier is to stockpile things that have more than one use. Duct tape is the classic example, of course – it’s practically a miracle substance.

Buying seeds used to be a simple process, but not anymore. Walking into an agriculture store or garden center and grabbing a packet of lettuce seeds used to be something you could do without worry. Now, the three vastly different type of readily available seeds require keen reading off all the fine print on the label.
