About all we civilians can hope for is that cops of every type won't allow this and US military will refuse to help in this. Therefore if we POTUS or some other invite in 100's of thousands of blue helmet then it's hunting season on every fuck one of them. The American population is by many times the largest armed civilian group on earth or in history. I have no problem going to war against blue helmets and anyone who supports them.

So, I did contact one manufacturer. While they don't test for leaching, the bags are a multifilm and the PET layer isn't next to the food. Instead, a LDPE layer is on the inside.

Initially, I was relieved since on one chart LDPE was "safer", yet after searching for info, it seems that even LDPE leaches some stuff.

Not sure of good alternatives. Every prepper site mentions Mylar. I always thought that it was suspicious that we'd be allowed to stockpile food to last for 25 years. Now, I see why.

Canning was targeted and so trusted Ball/Kerr lids have an increased failure rate that experienced canners have noticed.

What is the best way to preserve food that will last and doesn't result in you poisoning whoever consumes it?

While the enemy certainly appears to be out of shape, I think the BLM riots demonstrate that they're capable of violence. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. After a decade of further propaganda, huge swaths of the population could be radicalized, or at least buy into the demonization of certain groups.

Again, I point to the Chinese cultural revolution. They seemed innocent enough, until they reached a critical mass and were able to bend the apparatus of the state to their aims. It wasn't the revolutionaries locking people up, it was the (highly propagandized) police acting on trumped-up charges.

I applaud your desire to mount a resistance, though. It's noble.

I just don't want to be like those people we see throughout history that got trapped in their totalitarian countries. Some of my ancestors were Jews in Nazi Germany, others were Armenians who narrowly escaped getting wiped out in that genocide. I look back and ask why so many of their people didn't see the writing on the wall when their people were being demonized. I won't let it happen to me.

The next part is applying ways to adjust the temperature to the best level possible (heating or cooling). Having plans and measures in place, backups if possible, is vital for those living in areas with extreme conditions

We went through $50 of wood keeping warm during freezing temps for 24hrs last time we went camping. I think most people might need to just move or even become migratory.

This is not an advertisement. There are other, similar stills out there so shop around because what is the fun of being on hard lockdown without hard liquor? RiGhT& And to answer your question, no, it is not illegal to make liquor if you and your friends consume it all yourself. Delling it is a no-no. If the SHTF though no one will care if you sell of barter itIf my calculations are correct, the first time you make eight gallons of booze this thing will pay for itself. If you're on the Imperial system, eight gallons is equal to about 32 litres. Don't drink it all at once.

People give them away around here; cities here allow chickens, but many have ordinances against roosters.

I've lived in countries that had no ordinance; so to have a next door neighbor with a cow, goat, and a whole host of chickens(including roosters) wasn't uncommon. The roosters were annoying, but after a while, they just blended into the background noise.

"My theory is that our solar system is connected to the star systems that are associated with precession by Birkeland currents\strands. The source that we are connected to is probably far beyond these zodiac constellations, but that they pass between our solar system and the Birkeland Strand source."

A few of my thoughts on this podcast.

I only learned about this SIDA theory within the last year.

The precession info is interesting, but there's a lot of mysticism associated with precession. I'm not an advocate for any of the mystic theories. I have my own theory, which differs from what little I understand of theirs.
Mine is devoid of mysticism.

My theory is that our solar system is connected to the star systems that are associated with precession by Birkeland currents\strands.

The source that we are connected to is probably far beyond these zodiac constellation, but that they pass between our solar system, and the Birkeland Strand source.

I don't have any direct evidence for this. However, every theory starts with a hunch, and then you look for a method to test the theory. I'm not a coincidence theorist.

Plasma cosmology may soon develop a method of testing this theory.

I posted a Plasma Cosmology Informentary that S0 hosted a couple of days ago. There's plenty of compelling evidence for the electric universe model of the universe (sans the mysticism) and if you're interested then please look that up.

The YouTube channel Suspicious0bservers is the best source that I'm aware of for daily updates.

Suspiscious0bservers.org (note the "0" for an O) has a excellent website and a disaster alert app. I don't have it, but I check the daily news fairly regularly.
I should get it.

The site also contains a crash course education on Plasma cosmology, and space weather, etc. You don't need to be a physicists to understand it. It's well developed.

S0 has also been predicting earthquakes with mind boggling reliability, so that's also worth looking into.

It seems like the sun actually dominates the solar system and isn't just a source of illumination...
Who would have guessed...?

Happy plasma cosmology cataclysm investigating... ;-)

That sums it up. We're looking to have the poles move sometime in the near future (decades, maybe years), and the magnetic shielding is diminishing.

The combination of a magnetic pole event and Carrington event could be far beyond any imaginable devastation..

For the sake of argument let's assume that semi advanced ice age civilizations existed. They would mostly exist on the coast, which is roughly 400 feet below the current level.

Imagine a massive solar flare during a magnetic pole shifting event that rained down energy on the atmosphere in volumes that may have ended the last ice age in a period of weeks; or even days. This is not hyperbole, this is a distinct possibility. There is evidence for this actually happening.

The scientist is legit. However, that doesn't make the theory correct. Either way; it makes you think...

UA, you've introduced me to a great many interesting things. I'm thrilled to bring you this one.

Are you familiar with the concept of a solar induced dark age?

I mean it already is this way, right now, in Yemen, much of Syria, and many more countries. Venezuela is also like this, but without a hot war.

But hopefully not in the west again. But like you said the track record does not look good. Hopefully the internet will help stop the cycle, as the atrocities cannot be hidden nearly as easily as 50 years ago.

Wow thanks for that. I like hearing actual experiences that people went through in the modern era because they generally know what they're talking about. I also didn't realize one of voats main admins atko was from bosnia and had been through a war!

I love the right to repair laws so much.

Also France made a new law where they have to display how long something is expected to last on the packaging, to combat planned obsolescence as a product design feature. I applaud that

A couple? Take out Washington State and Washington D.C. and every other place named Washington if necessary to purge the world of this scourge.

I know what slingshots are, but the other stuff I had no idea so I DDG image searched and saw some really neat creative hand grips. I almost expected to find some crazy Joe Rogan compound-bow-like mechanism. Not even arm braces.

seems like the deciding factor is that it takes pistol ammo, and the barrel length is under a legally set limit.
i am into slingshots atm :-) theraband gold powered little beauties that are good for small game upto 20m

Good video. Interesting the legally defined "pistol" that looks and can be shot like a rifle. I'd follow up on that if I was actually into guns. Then again, if I was into guns I may not be into pistol caliber guns.

That's an awesome law I can support. Good to know about.

I still wanna know why there aren't traffic light labels on our food. Red for junk, yellow for caution, and green for good. SUPERFUCKINGSIMPLE. I know why, but you know what I mean.

I really support this "right to repair".

France passed a law last year where manufacturers are required to label products with their expected lifespan, as to cut down on planned obsolescence, and to create more informed consumers. I thought that was a smart law.
