CNN: If You’re Christian, It’s Your Fault That People Don’t Have Health Insurance

    crossAs tens of millions stand to lose their health insurance benefits over the coming months, mainstream establishment mouthpiece CNN has been investigating why there are so many poor and under-insured Americans.

    In an investigative report titled The Obamacare ‘scandal’ you haven’t heard about CNN journalist John Blake thinks he’s figured it out.

    It’s not that the government has created an air of learned helplessness, or shipped jobs to foreign countries through restrictive legislation and taxes, or that Americans have seen their purchasing power decrease exponentially making it impossible for them to meet their basic needs.

    And the Patient Affordable Care Act certainly can’t be to blame, even though the health exchanges don’t work, and people are being rapidly removed from their current insurance policies because of regulations set forth by the new law, or that those who do manage to sign up will see a tripling of their rates which will further impoverish them.

    No, the problem, according to CNN, is the Christians; specifically, the Christian pastors and their churches in southern states who have apparently done nothing to address poverty or failed to push their governments to expand social health care services through forced wealth redistribution.

    In an article on CNN.com’s Belief Blog, CNN writer John Blake says that, while famous pastors “preach in states where crosses and church steeples dot the skyline,” they do nothing about “the poor who can’t get the health insurance they would receive if they lived elsewhere.”

    That refers, in turn, to the decision of twenty-five states not to participate in Obamacare’s expanded Medicaid funding. The states were allowed to opt out following last year’s controversial Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, which upheld the law as a whole but struck down the mandatory state participation in Medicaid expansion, citing the protection provided to state powers under the Tenth Amendment.

    Blake covers different perspectives on the question of speaking out. But the premise of CNN’s article is that churches are to blame for Obamacare’s failures–not the federal government, not the Democrats who passed it, and not President Barack Obama himself. The thinly-veiled implication–a repeated theme in leftist critiques–is that Christians are hypocrites who care about personal salvation, but not about good works.

    If CNN and John Blake would have done their research, what they would have found is that if there’s anyone in this country providing community outreach to the poor, handicapped and uninsured, it’s faith-based networks, most of which are Christian.

    In 2001 there were approximately 26,000 food pantries in America. Of those, fully 75% were operated by faith-based organizations. They were staffed not by government employees bilking the system for millions of dollars in reckless spending and outrageous benefit and pension plans, but by Christian volunteers. In fact, 9 out of 10 people working in faith-based food pantries in America are volunteers doing so out of their own free will, good nature, and need to give back to those who are less fortunate.

    Moreover, with respect to health care itself, faith-based hospitals in America have been found to provide higher quality health care than their counterparts. These hospitals and the Christian organizations that support them raise hundreds of millions of dollars a year in an effort to assist the poorest of our society with their medical needs – again primarily through individual donations, not wealth confiscation.

    Thus, while Mr. Blake et. al. make the argument that Christians don’t care about the poor, the facts prove otherwise. It’s the very people he criticizes in his ‘investigative report’ on this ‘scandal’ that are spending their personal time and money to help those in need.

    And the kicker? No one had to write a law and force these people to do it by the barrel of a gun. They do it because they care, not because they were mandated to do so. Moreover, they don’t forcibly take the funds needed to operate these outreach programs from others. They get them in the form of private donations, from hundreds of thousands of other Christians across America who want to make a difference any way they can.

    So, Mr. Blake, before you bloviate about how followers of the teachings of Jesus are to blame for the world’s problems, go take a look in the mirror.

    If you’re going to cast stones, you may want to start there.

      1. If your Obama it’s your fault people don’t have health insurance.

        • What a crock

          • Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you view it, I have never had health insurance.
            It was nobody’s fault but my own. I made my own choices.
            Thanks to the ACA, it is assured that I will never have health insurance. That I can credit to Obama, Pelosi, etc.

            • I never had it either since the 1980’s when I paid $25 per month for Kaiser thru a job. Ive been to the doctors a few times for a checkup here and there and paid cash. Never had a problem.

              • Here it comes, the persecutions of the Christians. Happening all over the arab world, it spreads like manure over the planet. BO is an instrument of the beast and when I look at all the conformist f’s that are following this character like he is the second coming. Those whom follow BO also think perversion, drug abuse, living off the backs of others, political correctness, and the destruction of the Constitution of the United States of America is what is best for everyone.

                Like I said in the previous article, the last five years the country’s, the world’s, morals, decency, common sense, and decency as a human being have gone to the way of the weirdo and the sicko. Attack those that believe in God when you are pawns to the evil. All too typical of the last days before the ultimate SHTF envelopes the whole planet.

                • Christians would have no problem giving to the poor 10% if we weren’t forced to Tithe to the Government 20%!

                  • The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

                    The State.

                  • 20 per cent?

                    Add it up, closer to 50 per cent. Federal, state, and local taxes. Income, sales, property, excise, ad infinitum.

                  • Yes we Christians don’t do near as much as the muslims, buddhists and hindus to help the poor.

                    By the way, what is the names of their charities???
                    How many hospitals have they built???
                    How many countries have they gone to, to minister with love, care and compassion???

                    The problem with this a-hole, besides considering the source (communist news network), is like I said in a previous thread, people watch it and take it as truth without ever checking the facts for themselves. Its a form of indoctrination and they are too stupid too see it.

                  • “””Thus, while Mr. Blake et. al. make the argument that Christians don’t care about the poor, the facts prove otherwise.”””

                    Since when does CNN care about facts?

                    They should all be crucified on a swastika.

                    Scriptures tell us we are required to do both (Pay taxes and tithe). That was what Jesus was talking about when he said “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and give unto GOD what is GOD’s”.

                    Iowa,
                    Scriptures tell us we are required to do both (Pay taxes and tithe). That was what Jesus was talking about when he said “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and give unto GOD what is GOD’s”. “””””

                    WRONG. Jesus made the statement to avoid entrapment with the implication that NOTHING belonged to Ceaser and EVERYTHING belonged to God.

                    It is funny that things Jesus said while they were trying to entrap him are the most used references.

                    “”Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”” is another case of misunderstanding of Biblical proportions that implies you are no supposed to judge people, when the Bible actually says to judge righteously and to judge the accuser first.

                    These are two examples of Bankster interpretation of the Bible for the masses. Pay us your money and don’t judge us (because we twisted the words of Jesus to make it seem like you should.)

                  • Yep… In some parts of the world, the people are in the streets. In the Fascist States of America, the people are in the malls.

Christians are only beginning to ‘catch hell’ and it’s only going to get worse. Had to putoff my shopping trip planned for today because of an emergency at work. That’s all swuared away so I’ll try to do part of the shopping tonight and finish it up tomorrow. CNN can get f#$%ed. braveheart

                  • Gentlemen, again I thank you for the pleasure of your company. The harassment and persecution of Christians in this country is just getting started, sadly most pastors and church leaders are still in denial about it. They are not preparing the members of the congregation for the day when they are target of abuse. I do see a day when the state will murder those who are Christians.
                    But perhaps there is a bright spot to all of this; IF one is persecuted here in the FUSA, then one can assume that you ARE doing your Christianity right. Simple choice here; worship God or worship the State as god.

                  • Farts rule!

                • The persecution of Christians has been something most Christians in third-world countries are quite familiar with. It does appear that people have been emboldened to attack and persecute Christians in this country and around the world by the election of BHO.

                  The scriptures also point out that there would be many false-prophets who would arise before the Second Advent and many people would come under their influence.

                  It is an irony of our modern times that in spite of the instant availability and access to information, data, history, science, and knowledge, that there is an incredible dumbing down of people all over the world thanks to the help of the MSM.

                  • Farts are cool!

                • It has been here. Research the US military, they started a few years ago banning Christian websites, prayer etc.

                • Be Informed,

                  If you’re not an immoral pervert, or can gyrate like an over-sexed Miley Cyrus, or lie like a politician, you will be ostracized and shunned as an outcast in this depraved society. It makes blending in and being invisible that much harder to do!

                  • I’d gyrate like miley—right after someone puts a couple of missiles dead center of the federal reserve…they call it a “victory dance”

                  • I want to see that dance.

                • Why do so many hate christians? If you follow the teachings of jesus then you help and serve people. Why does this guy and others hate us so much?

                  • I don’t think people hate christians, I belive, like in my experience, the hypocricy turns people away. I was involved for many years with my congreagation. I served on a regular basis. Then, a crisis came into my life, and the very people who I had served and considered my brothers and sisters ignored my cries for help. They were too busy with their own lives to even see-much less help. I was totally on my own. So, the way I see it, how can these organized regigious institutions help others, when they can’t even support and care for their own?

                  • So on that note, PLEASE, all of you who call yourselves Christians, please have an ear and an eye for your brothers and sisters who depend on you. Just know that even though your intentions are good, by your selfishness and your actions, or lack of actions- are turning people away, just like myself. Please- examine yourselves.

                • Yes the Obamanation that runs the country will and does instill Islam into our schools and leaves God out of everything he touches and speaks so we will be judged and judged harshly but because there is no longer a moral majority but an immoral majority many will blame God…but the end times are here and salvation is close to those that holdfast and those that find their way..the devil is pulling out all stops at this time and using all the instruments of destruction that he can…it is unfortunate that so many do not see what is going on..but is it already too late anyways? I believe so as we have given up all our rights due to complacency just like the complacwncy that is given to God.So the Obamanation will be made Desolate!

                • Christians: you owe no one any explanation.

                  It’s no ones business what Christians do and don’t do. Besides, I heard it’s the jews that help no one. Spread it around like manure. Like they are doing. They have all the money and help no one. Get online and blame the jews for everything. Blame the jews for the insurance problems and for jobs being given to deliberately imported foreigners and for jobs exported to foreign countries. The jews are responsible for it all. It happens to be fact.
                  Where jews lie about all this, christians will be telling the truth when blaming them for the above.

                  I forgot to mention that the censors on here are jews.

                  • What?
                    What?
                    What?

              • Reminds me of an issue I had once. I got a metal shaving in my eye and was 75 miles from a regular doctor and had no insurance. There was a clinic about 40 miles away though so I went there. I explained I had no insurance but could pay in cash and they did all kinds of stuff (dye in my eye, probing, etc.) They concluded it had burrowed into the flesh surrounding my eye and gave me antibiotic ointment and some other thing and sent me home. TOTAL CASH COST… 20 dollars! If I had insurance it would have been 300 probably. OK now for your prep/health tip… making your own medicinal herbs is way cheaper and more organic than store bought.

                • Thank you for all the useful urls/sites. As one who practices modern medicine, I am still fond of the advances that have been made in pharmaceutical products and in the advances in medical and surgical care. The cost of health care and medical technology is alarming and has spiraled way out of control and the more we can all do for ourselves the better off we will be. Don’t wait until the last moment to introduce yourself to some unknown doctor. The more you know him/her and the more he/she knows you the better off you will be. I am a big believer in natural and herbal remedies but unfortunately many of these remedies will not touch many of the more serious illnesses that afflict our society. On the other hand, if we only ate properly and watched what we eat, a lot of the illnesses afflicting modern society would be much less common and less of a drain on the health budget. Again, Genius, thank you for the references.

                • Start an alkaline diet to de acidify your body and reboot your metabolism. The metabolites in the standard american diet, SAD for short, creates an acidic environment in your body. Ever wonder why there is so much Osteoporosis when we consume so much dairy? It is because the blood sacrifices everything, even bones, to keep its PH alkaline. Do you remember waking as a kid and flying out of bed to start the day? It is called metabolism and you can get it back. If you are a constant user af antacid tablets, now you know why.

                  • Grandpa,

                    I have been eating AA batteries to build up my alkaline level. They are not really that bad once you get past the metallic covering.

                  • Grandpa, I also take baking soda everyday (aluminum free) to alkalize my body. It’s cheap and effective. Some of the more alkalizing foods believe it or not are lemons, watermelon. I have my vices, coffee, smoking so Baking soda helps.

                • Thanks for the info,Genius. Like you, I never go to a doctor. But….I’m only 84 so there’s still time.

          • Good Lord’s day morning. I am intrigued by the comment from F—ing P—ed, being as we are discussing CHRISTians this morning and what they do or do not do.

            Am wondering why so many thumbs up for FP’s comment. Surely a follower of the Lord and Savior would not agree to the toilet scenario. Perhaps prayer for our leaders is something a CHRISTian would be prepared to do? Let’s allow those who disdain Christ work with toilets. Or better yet, let us work towards showing them the ways of Christ so that they too may be saved.

            Thank you for the article Mac.

            • I have prayed for them and our country, but I would still destroy them if I could. They are evil. Read your bible. God is love but he is also a God of wrath.

            • Also grandee. I cannot throw a rock at anyone, can you?

            • You’re wondering why so many thumbs up to FP’s comments and suggestions? It’s BECAUSE they’re followers of that Lord and Savior. The fact that FP suggested his toilet scenario and all those “Likes” got clicked proves that he and they are Christians. That’s a perfectly Christian perspective and attitude they’re displaying. Christians “think” they’re all “once saved, always saved.” That right there gives them license to lie, cheat, steal and murder. As long as they have their Lord and Savior they’re going be just fine! It says so in the Bible. At least that’s how they choose to interpret it. And after all, that’s all that matters… how a Christian interprets it. It’s all about picking and choosing the verses that are convenient at that moment, to back up and support whatever sins they’re committing today. For tomorrow’s sins they’ll simply pick and choose, and take out of context whatever verses support tomorrow’s sins. See how awesome their Jesus is?! He paid for it all! That’s what “once saved, always saved” means!! Who in their right mind would turn away from a promise like that? Commit all the sins you want! Sin like there’s no tomorrow! Sin even more than you sinned before you “found Jesus!” Because that’s the whole crux of the matter. Once you have Jesus in your heart, nothing… and I mean NOTHING can pluck you from the father’s hand!

              It must be true because every Christian I’ve known personally has lived up to it. In fact, now, whenever I meet a person for the first time and they introduce themselves as a Christian, I thank them. The reason I thank them is because now I can try to be on guard for their lying, cheating, stealing and murdering. I haven’t actually seen one murder yet. They must be really good at covering their tracks on murder. But all the other sins… they commit those unabashedly without even batting an eyelash, right out in the open! It truly is amazing to those of us who haven’t been sold on the “once saved, always saved” policy.

        • The assault on Christianity continues and one day it will be banned.

                In the End woe to the enemies of Jesus Christ.

            • ahhhh…Rome got Catholicism? Say, is this a trick question? hehe

              • Insanity, be careful with that one. Mac, for one, is a Catholic, but I don’t know how many others there could be. braveheart

                • No insult can ensue when no insult was intended, BH, but, seriously, thanks for your gracious concerns and caution.

                  It was an obvious answer to the question and that’s why I asked if it was a TRICK question because no matter how hard non-Christian Romans TRIED to eradicate Christianity, it could not be erased…and Catholicism with Rome as its base (i.e., Roman Catholic Church) was the result and has been the result for 2000 years — still going strong — so let’s see how well Obama does trying to eradicate Christianity.

                  • Insanity, I never implied you were insulting anyone. Just offering some friendly advice.

                  • No you were forcing your belief. Never accepting someone else’s.

                • I know people believe the Catholic church is in decline for various reasons (AND I could less about anybody’s thumbs-up/down approval, but I will try to light a “candle for knowledge”).

                  Let me state also that I am not Catholic; however it would be ludicrous for anybody to discount their numbers. There are roughly 1.2 billion Catholics in the world (almost equal to the number of Chinese of 1.35 billion…to give you mathematical perspective).

                  And just because American has lost its grace with God does NOT mean that the same is occurring throughout the world.

                  “Latin America accounts for 483 million Catholics, or 41.3% of the total Catholic population. Of the 10 countries in the world with the most Catholics, four are in Latin America. Brazil has the highest Catholic population of any country. The figure was put at 123 million in the last Brazilian census and as high as 150 million in 2010 figures compiled by the World Christian Database. Italy has the most Catholics in Europe, with 57 million, while DR Congo has the biggest Catholic population in Africa, ranking ninth in the world with almost 36 million.
                  Global shift

                  Since 1970, Catholicism has seen a global shift southwards – the proportion of Catholics living in Europe has declined, while Africa has seen a growth in the number of Catholics – from 45 million in 1970 to 176 million in 2012. Asia has also seen a growth in Catholicism and now represents almost 12% of the total Catholic population in the world, or 137 million people.” (BBC News World)

                  Now I am going to point out the obvious: It truly does not matter whether you are a Baptist or a Jehovah’s Witness or a Catholic or a Protestant…do you really think Obama and his henchmen are going to differentiate between any Christian religion? Or religion at all, for that matter?

                  Christians might want to start looking past each group’s differences and try to unite. The old adage, “United we stand, divided we fall,” has never been so profound as in this present day.

              • No trick question LLContagious-

                ..DK’s key words are a reference to a time period.

                See Imperial Rome’s official PAGAN religion circa the 1st century A.D., where even the Caesars/emperors worshiped a polyglot collection of manifold gods imported from the Greeks centuries prior and merely given different names.

                i.e.) Greek god Zeus = Roman god Jupiter etc…etc.

                • ..great follow-up post IIContagious.
                  I should’ve scrolled down a little further before I posted mine.
                  Good to see you know your history in depth.

                  Two thumbs up too you!

            • It worked quite well until Constantine, 300 years later.

            • Nero started Rome on fire and blamed the Christians to try to exterminate christianity in Rome. The only problem is that it is impossible for liberals to exterminate Christ. They might make it difficult to worship openly, but you cannot get rid of the Supreme Being that exists.

              • Ugly, truer words were never spoken. braveheart

              • Ugly: An obvious “false flag attack” not unlike the twin towers. 🙂

                • DK.

                  I agree. Nero probably had the first and only false flag in the history of the world. All other events we can trust what our MSM says and believe their story and conclusion.

            • Amen DK.

            • DK, AMEN. It was their undoing and it will be our undoing also unless we overthrow the tyranny. BTW, I gave you a thumbs up also. braveheart

            • The durango kidd says:

              “Rome tried to ban Christianity in the 1st Century. How did it work out for Rome?”

              And your conclusions?

              Q: To your mind, was that the reason the Roman Empire collapsed?

              • My conclusion is that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God; Nature’s God, through whom, all that is, both visible and invisible, was created.

                It is impossible to either separate or eliminate the Creator from His Creation. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In Him I live, and move, and have my being.

                He is revelation and His gospel is life itself. Life multiplies itself in every possible diversity to glorify the Father. It is impossible to suppress Life. Therefore it is impossible to suppress Christianity.

                God is Love. Love is beauty. Beauty is Life. Life is Breath. Keep breathing. 🙂

                • That may be your conclusion, but you didn’t answer the question.

                  Daddy, where did the Roman Empire go?

                  Son, Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God; Nature’s God, through whom, all that is, both visible and invisible, was created. It is impossible to either separate or eliminate the Creator from His Creation. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In Him I live, and move, and have my being. He is revelation and His gospel is life itself. Life multiplies itself in every possible diversity to glorify the Father. It is impossible to suppress Life. Therefore it is impossible to suppress Christianity. God is Love. Love is beauty. Beauty is Life. Life is Breath. Keep breathing.

                  But daddy, what about Rome?

                  (Cue the crickets.)

                  • Where did Rome go? Rome went the way of ALL tyrannical governments who desire to enslave their fellow men and women: to the ash heap of history, where it has been joined by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, among countless others.

                    Life must express itself in its great diversity and Life must have FREEDOM to do so. The future of America, indeed the future of the entire world is FREEDOM in and through Jesus Christ.

                    Engage the enemy of FREEDOM in the name of the Living God and he will destroy all of your adversaries; for Jesus Christ has overcome the world and to Him and His Name alone, EVERY knee shall bow.

                    So it is written; so it shall be. Engage. 🙂

                  • @yourmotherwaswrong. My conclusion of what DK posted is: This is what happened to the Roma empire in toad’s reality……> The federal government and deceived representatives forced legislation, policies, and practices on citizens, demanding that our tax dollars—our money, be used to support worthless, godless, freedom-damaging policies, programs, and laws.

                    Now draw your own conclusion between the Roman Empire and the American Empire.

                    “Rome went the way of ALL tyrannical governments who desire to enslave their fellow men and women: to the ash heap of history, where it has been joined by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, among countless others.”

                    No, Rome went the way of ALL Empires: “to the ash heap of history,” just like the American Empire will, and “countless others” before it.

                    “So it is written; so it shall be.”

                    LOL… Thats what the Romans’ said for over 1000 years. How did that “so it shall be” part worked out for them???

                    History will record the Roman Empire lasted far longer than the American version.

                    “so it shall be.”

                    BTW DK, I’m Catholic. All of 51 years.

            • @DK, Agreed and well said. The gates of hell rage in vain against the Church and against God’s word. The Word of God is immutable and eternal.

            • That was Rome, not the USA! The be-headers are planning,lying, planning some more and sharpening the blades. ARM UP, sheeple!!!

              • Prepping in P O: Lately the so called be-headers were hired and paid for by the Saudi and Israeli Intelligent and CIA. The Be-headers killed many Christian Villagers in Syria btw.

                • Testicle says: your an idiot

              • While the comparisons between Rome and America are reasonable, the average citizen of Rome did not have the advantages that flow from of the hindsight of history which WE have available to US.

                More than that, while the Soviet Union has been consigned to the ash heap of history by the courage of its people, Russia is still there. I was in Mockba during the coup and counter coup and have great photos of their “White House” with a shell through it.

                China still has a totalitarian government that is evolving, but communism is gone. China however is still there.

                America will eventually survive the New World Order, we have the promise of God and Washington’s Vision, but the price will be high. Engage your employees now, or be enslaved by them one rule, regulation, or law at a time.

                Politics IS the responsibility of free men and women if government “of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth”.

                If not US, who? If not now, when? Engage. 🙂

                • However, what shape will the Western world be in post-NWO? Today’s Russia is nothing like Soviet Russia which is nothing like Czarist Russia before the Bolsheviks. Same goes with China.

                  Also, look at the British Empire and how it dumped its colonies one after the other. And while a few are still viable countries, the rest are all complete shitholes.

            • Indeed dk..

              We are are Rome times a billion..

              Rome had two options..
              bread and circuses and brute force(nailed to the cross)…
              to placate and subjugate the citizenry..
              be it diminish their Christian faith or political persuasions..

              Modern Rome?….

              Media propaganda
              Legislation
              Confiscatory taxation

              • Posse-

                I’d like to add just one more symptom/sin to your outstanding post, per the Amerikan version of Imperial Rome.
                That being HUMAN SACRIFICE by choice!

                ..we call it ABORTION nowadays..

              • An case can be made that the FUSA is/will be the Babylon as described in the book of Revelation. While I do agree with that view, let me add, I could be wrong. I do see a day of Judgement against the FUSA for its sins against the living and holy God. It is coming.

            • Not sure Durango, I’ll give you the Pope is Catholic. But as a good pagan, looking in at it: I’m not sure a whole bunch of that mess could be defined as Christian. Over 400 years ago, Dante got himself in trouble for putting a bunch of Popes upside down, in holes, in Hell. Not sure, he may have been close.

          • Cant have a socialist country if there is a middle class. Cant have communism if theres religion.

            These dickheads are trying real hard to destroy this country and kill our spirits.

            For most of us our religion is who we are and our dna aint changing cause they want it to.

            • You got it cal , thats what its all about.
              These asswipe socialist libtard fools think that they can “do it right” when it always fails.
              Maybe its even more base than that , maybe they dont care about the attacks race or religion , it could be nothing more than a power grab .
              Whatever is going on , its moving our way fast.

              I have always said , aint nuthin gonna happen til after the midterm elections , but damn , somtimes i wonder how much more we can take .

              • Hammerhead, they way things are looking, they’re trying to speed up the NWO takeover. I still think the 2012 election was our last one; doubt if there will be any midterm election. We’re going into 2014 with the agenda still pushing forward. Between now and next spring, things will get ugly. braveheart

                • braveheart , the NWO takeover may have already happened.
                  It may be possible that we have only a financial crash to look forward to.
                  Historicaly , winter is a quiet period , i hope it stays that way , Obama could declare “emergency powers” at any time and change everything. and he just might do it.

                  But in the meanwhile i got a lost steer out there that ran thru a fence because of a poacher , i gotta find both.

                  • @ Hammerhead…You need to watch the vidio: “Cows With Guns” on you tube. Someone posted it a week back, real funny.

                  • UPDATE ; the steer fell in love with the corn dryer propane tank.
                    I found a drunken detroit businessman tangled in an old fence and drove his ass back to his camp in the federal forest land , whew , good ridance and good night .

                  • Hammerhead, good luck with your steer and poacher. I hope winter stays quiet, too, but we’ll see.

              • “sometimes i wonder how much more we can take”

                Hammerhead I’ve noticed for some time now that it is almost everyday that there is a knew push to try to piss off someone on the right. The fact we haven’t had anyone go ballistic is really quite amazing actually. I posted on a story a while back expressing the need for restraint and I still believe we need to wait for the government to take the first shot. It sure is getting harder everyday to be patient. I’m doing what I can to push the left. I think this may work since their brains do not function properly and they seem to go over the edge very easily. With any luck it will bring on the desperately needed “reset” quicker.

            • The only thing they are doing is pissing people off and will steel their resolve with their constant attacks, those who would have their spirit broken are those on the dole, not all, but those who are not legitimately in need. You poke a hibernating bear with a stick enough times that bear will eventually kill you.

              • Those who would have their spirit broken, are those who were weak of spirit to begin with.

            • Do you understand that Communism and Judaism were and are linked at the hips? Hence, the reason for the Christian’s problems and false accusations now.

              History is repeating itself. The “politically correct” and Jew-Lites (aka Christian Zionists) are causing this issue because Christianity isn’t really about Christ any more. It is about being subservient to Jews and Israel.

              • BuelahMan…Right on target. If anyone doubts what is happening with the nuclear negotiation between the criminal Ayatollah’s and the Israeli government and other filthy Arab governments just look at who is heading the negotiation from the US side. Forget about OB, look at John Kerry…..This entire criminal games are nothing but games being played by the the criminal Zionists, Communists, Progressives and all dressed under the name of religion such as Islam or Christian Zionists etc.. I really doubt the wife of Mr.Kerry betray her zionist tribe. There are many like her btw. This is about domination of mankind and nothing less and is being done under a well designed plan. I hope humanity wise up and doesn’t let the history to repeat itself.

                • Sir, hate speech is not protected by the 1st amendment. The garbage you trying to sell would be best presented at the Westboro Baptist Church. Mac are we not past this ?

              • Beulah,

                You are an antisemitic nut with a Jewish name…

              • Hate speech. I thought we were past this type of misinformation. When evil is not confronted it grows !

            • Theres more of us(people who love liberty) whether we call ourselves Christians or pagans than the rank and file heathens who make up this govt cesspool of evil…don’t allow yourselves to be conned into believing the lies they put out to the unwashed masses…like theyre gonna wipe out Christians and others who oppose them…that they are gonna take over the whole planet and no one anywhere will be able to resist their awesome power(sounds like what some villain in a B-rated movie says to the people just before the hero puts an arrow through his head)…we can win this fight..OR we can lose it…hows about we just go ahead and win it…that’s better all around…

          • For every “assault” you find on Christianity, you can find a similar event for every other religion.

            We can’t be so naive to think that the world is singling out just one religion.

            Also, assault is a very dramatic term for a very undramatic and uninformed comment.

              • Actually that was my point thank you very much.

                But judging by everyone’s comments here, you wouldn’t think so!

                • It’s all in the delivery, AnAngryJew. Once you figure out how to just make your point without attacking or insulting people, you’ll do just fine.

                  • That is true for many here.

            • I agree. What is different, however, are the increased ‘assaults’ on Christians in American. Christians have already been singled out in many other countries, including by Jews in Israel. You can’t be so naive to think that this isn’t unusual (or used to be).

              • christianity has been singled out in the US to break the backbone of America , nothing less .

            • AngryJew, Christianity and your faith are under attack somewhere in the world every day. Did you know that both Jewish and Christian communities in Islamic nations suffer persecution every day? Both communities are suffering a very gradual genocide, especially Christians. There are fewer Christians in the Middle East now than in the last 2000 years. Even Catholics have suffered persecution to some degree especially in communist nations. My late wife was from Cuba and came from a well-educated Catholic family. She lost half of her family to Castro’s butchers. She has experienced the horrors of communist tyranny firsthand. It’s times like this when I wish she was still alive to speak of her experience. I decided long, long ago to stand up and fight tyranny. my wife’s spirit is still within me. Sometimes I can hear her say to me, “Baby, don’t let what happened to Cuba happen to America.” On occasion, I do rant about certain subjects on this forum. That’s only because I’m against evil, I’m against communism. I only say the same things my wife would’ve said had she lived to encounter the internet. She would’ve loved it and I know she looks down at me smiling with approval. I don’t apologize to anyone for who I am or what I believe in. People can accept me as I am or reject me. It is their choice. I don’t change anything about myself for anyone, regardless of their motive for wanting such change. It’s been my experience that such people are not to be trusted. braveheart

              • Braveheart, I am sorry for your loss. Cuba, and what happened within that nation has been a mystery to me — I did not know there was genocide there. That’s terrible

                • Mac Wilson, welcome, and thank you for those kind words. the best estimate I have for Cuba is 200,000 over the last 50+ years of Castro rule. I spent 1975-1982 in Miami’s Little Havana community.

              • Unfortunately for most people in the world, we don’t understand who is the catalyst (and enemy) of decent citizens of the world. But THEY know:

                “Some call it Marxism — I call it Judaism.”

                (The American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935)

                “The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism.”

                (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 143-144)

                The American Hebrew September 10, 1920:

                “The Bolshevist revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a new order in the world. What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction, and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental and physical forces, become a reality all over the world.”

                “The Communists are against religion (Christianity), and they seek to destroy religion; yet, when we look deeper into the nature of Communism, we see that it is essential nothing else than a religion (Judaism).”

                (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 138)

                “The Jews welcome this revolution in the Christian world, and the Jews should show an example. It is not an accident that Judaism gave birth to Marxism, and it is not an accident that the Jews readily took up Marxism: all this was in perfect accord with the progress of Judaism and the Jews.”

                (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, by Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 148).

                “We have exterminated the property owners in Russia. We are going to do the same thing in Europe and America.”

                (The Jew, December 1925, Zinobit)

                “The world revolution which we will experience will be exclusively our affair and will rest in our hands. This revolution will tighten the Jewish domination over all other people.”

                – Le Peuple Juif, February 8, 1919.

                “The governments of the peoples included in this world republic, with the aid of the victorious proletariat, all will fall without difficulty into Jewish hands. Private property will then be strangled by the Jewish directors, who will administer the state patrimony everywhere. Thus the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled, that is, the promise that the Jews, at the arrival of the Messiah, will possess the key to the wealth of all the peoples of the earth.”

                – Baruch Levy, in a letter to Karl Marx, published in the Rothschild controlled La Revue de Paris, June 1, 1928

                UNDERSTAND: understand the intent of what is being said, make it clear
                KNOW: know what is being done is wrong with out a shadow of doubt

                  Great post!

                  But there’s a slight oversight per the four word definition/list.
                  That being: WISDOM.

                  (application in this sense.) = always use the amateur’s background noise to cover your tracks, while you go after the enemy’s critical/important command structures.

                  Always think “asymmetric warfare”!!!!!!

              • Braveheart

                I am sorry about your wife. Anyone who reads your post’s knows how passionate you are about what is happening to our country. Thank you for always speaking your mind. Your wife is so proud I am sure.

            • I dont know about that. Theres an awful lot of injustice done by Muzlims here and over in sandland but they arent being persecuted here, only Christians. Have Christians (even Jews) committed those crimes? Do we force our children into arranged marriage when the girls are 8 or 9? Do we alter their genitals? Libtards claim its Christians who are against women here but never bitch about Muzlim treatment of women anywhere. Muzlim women are the most abused group in the world. And Ill submit to you they are assaulted even murdered. Those towelheads stone women in sandland But its Christians taking the heat, getting the blame. Im sick of it all and dont take kindly to being the governments target.

              • @ Calgacus. That is because muslims are stuck in the dark ages and practice savage animalistic barbarism. I don’t see any Christian groups going out and shooting like children because they are practicing a different religion. These BO f’s are so pro arab, yet they sure don’t tlak much about the attacks against innocent Coptic Christians by these islamic nut cases. Coptic Christians are the most peaceful people there is, and these sticken muslim beast behead these people all the time and burn their places of worship.

                This political correctness garbage is to never admit whom is actually at fault, this is bashing and discrimination. People are not even allowed anymore to say islamic extremist. WTF! This is freedom of speech to express yourself. If I want to use the term sand worm, diaperhead or camel jockstrap to describe some serial killer that is that way because of the teachings of the devil’s book, the koran, it is my right. These MF’s though want to kill the Constitution in the name of politcal correctness. This whole world, not just the U.S. is like a big rotten tooth ready to fall out.

                  What do you not yet Get? Do you enjoy a continuence of false beliefs?…Or do you just enjoy Bashing Us “Goyims” as the talmudic jews refer to all non tribal members?

                  If you types insist on a continued Bashing of every truth teller here, Please begin to Include Your Proof-facts-Documented-Linked sites etc etc…To do less is to advertize how Ignorant you truely are of issues affecting americans in so many determental ways today and for the Past 100+ yrs. Why keep defending the perpetrators of it?

                  Heres what God says about that “They Are the Adversaries(enemys) of God and of ALL Mankind”!! Straight From the Bible….Okay You next, for validation Proof etc.

        • Old Gringo: The U.S. Constitution is the founding of the United States of America, before that the colonies were independent states and powers unto themselves. Since you claim that the U.S. was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, please enlighten me and quote the books, chapters, and verses from the Bible that are found in the U.S. Constitution. Perhaps I just missed them. And please, no angry responses from you or the others here. I would like to see some mature, well thought out answers rather than some of the infantile drivel that passes for discourse on this site.

          • Professor Higgins.

            Before a person can answer your question, the first question must be answered or assumed as well.

            ‘Have you read the Constitution?’

          • @ Higgins…Hey, go fuck yourself asshole.

            • Oh, that limey troll is back.

            • gone under: Ah, you bust be one of those “good Christians” I keep hearing about, full of the love of Jesus for his fellow man. You’re angry because your bible verses are nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution negating your precious belief that the U.S. was founded on so called Christian principles when in fact it is NOT. Unlike you, I’ve actually read the Constitution, but then again, most Americans are lazy and don’t read well on the rare occasions that they do read. You are the primary example of why the rest of the world laughs at you: the vast majority of you are semi-literate at best, you’re arrogant far beyond all need, and you’re ill-mannered as evidenced by your crude response. In a word: you’re totally incapable of intelligent conversation and debate which is why we’ve been training a small group of Americans over the decades at the colleges in which we teach in order to take over and lead the rest of you Neanderthals into the 21st century. Finally, do you kiss your mother with dirty mouth of yours?

          • PH: You’re quite right. It’s not overtly mentioned in the Constitution. By the same token, you, I’m sure, could well argue that when mentioning “our Creator” in the Declaration, Jefferson was refering to Allah or The Cargo Cult.
            The Colonists were by in large, Christians from Europe.
            They were so magnanimous, they even made allowances for individuals such as yourself.
            That being said, I learned long ago that one never tries to teach a pig to sing. It wastes one’s time and annoys the pig. Further, I find you boringly generic in your fondness for disingenuos semantics.

          • It is true the bible is not ‘quoted’ in the constitution. Most likely because the majority of the founding fathers had seminary degrees and were pastors of churches in the colonies where they resided. They most likely didn’t see the need for it because to them it was a standard way of life. What they did fear was a government take over of religion, that is why the pilgrims set forth on the Mayflower, because the King was controlling the Church. THAT is what was intended as separation of Church and State. Not that you should not include Church in State. In fact, since the beginning of the very first congress, they always opened in prayer.

            As for whether or not the US was founded based on Judeo-Christian principles, try reading the Mayflower Compact.

            • @Arco-

              Truthful post, sir!

              ..plus, I think the Founding Fathers took their cue from the Creator himself, per his gift of “FREE WILL.”

              Thumbs-up to you!

              • Yes writings of the Founders have many, many references to americans foundation was christian, bible New testement, and Christ based. Although after having read much of various writings by many founders I do not recall reading ANY mentions of Any such “Jewdeo” christian or “Jewdeo” Anythings.

                Perhaps thats due to the high intellegence of every founding father of our nation, and would explain why they Knew that Christianity and Judaisim do NOT mix, never did mix and never will be able to mix. As its akin to a mixture of Oil and Water….And also the two are exact Opposites. Of course even a few moments of Talmud readings will fully explain and expose enough reasons as to why judaisim and christianity are such polar opposites.

                Yep a little talmud research reading of its many anti-christian and anti Jesus verses combined with a true Will to Know factual Truth on the issue is All it takes to awaken slumbering minds.

                And for the Really dull asleep minds that still cannot grasp such factual Truths?…I am Happy to Oblige and Teach for Free all who desire real Truth knowledge of our adversaries and Nation Wreckers Hosted this era by America.

                • More hate speech brought to you by an Anti Semetic Jew hater ! Save it for your Aryan Nation meetings. It has gotten old. Remember Hate is bad !

          • Proffessor

            All you have to do is read the writings of the founding fathers.

            And we all wonder what is wrong with our education system. Ha ha

          • Deuteronomy was the book used more than any other in writing the US Const.

          • …actually no…the “united” States of America was born under the Declaration of Independence and operated under the Articles as a union of free/equal/independent States BEFORE the US Federal constitution was adopted….and there were references about God and the Christian faith in that founding document…

        • As far as I am concerned, you can keep the “judeo” part of that. The Christ had very harsh words for them, so it is the height of stupidity to endorse and embrace Judaism as any part of His following.

          The reason Christianity is becoming the shell of itself is the fact that many of you BELIEVE that you are part of judaism.

          YOU are the problem. Wake up. Realize it and STOP it.

          • BM-

            Exactly!

            ..and if you stop & think about it, the term Judeo-Christian is in essence, blasphemy.

            They believe in a singular G-d, Christians believe in one GOD in three..the Father/Son & Holy Spirit.

            ..and (knowingly) blaspheming the Holy Spirit by denying his existence, IS THE ONLY SIN INCAPABLE OF BEING FORGIVEN/EXCUSED!

            • Hunter:

              Can you explain why anyone would write GOD, g-d? I googled it and got a real wake up call.

              • Ditto granny!

                There are those of us who know the truth, those who hate/deny the truth and those who don’t wanna know the truth. Yes?

                • You folks are some of the most hate filled ignorant people I have ever heard of. You talk about being a Christian and you don’t have a clue…

                  • Another Kommie Troll! Lemme guess are you also a fed Prison guard too?!!!

                  • Most of them are sock puppets.

          • I thought Jesus was born to a mother and father who were Jewish. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he come from the house of David ? I believe he practiced Juedisism during his stay here on earth. He fullfilled the scriptures. Without his relationship to the old testemant he wouldn’t have been the fullfilment and creator of the New Testement or New Covenement. You need to get the hate out of your heart. The hate that other poor and angry people spew.

      4. Really dislike CNN and always have, they simply put their BOSSES views out and not the NEW anymore. They should shut down and allow people to come up with views from FACTS, nat fantasy. Just Simple change the channel to domething like, OH FOX…….. and get the real news. (MY Thoughts olny)

      6. Our responsibility to any hungry person is simply what each of us have the ABILITY to respond to: nothing more, but certainly nothing less!

        We must be careful to avoid the “blaming the victim” ideology that plagues our society and expose the Scapegoating on which people like Chris Christie have used to build his governorship and position himself for national office.

        Really, after you take away all his scapegoating, what has he really accomplished?

        Blaming the victim and scapegoating are evil = destructive

        Hungry, malnourished people depend on us to advocate for them against the tactics of the self-righteous masquerading as innovators. I know the difference between and innovator and a destroyer.

        The earth has long had the capacity to feed 10-billion people (see the books written by Frances Moore Lappe) but the problem is that poverty is a symptom of underdevelopment which our capitalistic system creates through creating dependent relationships by which other countries must abide.

        Thus, others just get the crumbs, instead of being able to have the means to free themselves from a cycle of degradation, poverty, and hunger. This is what Theologians call “social sin”.

        In the meantime, they attempt to slow-kill us through GMO food which no politician in the country has the testicular fortitude to stand up and legislate AGAINST– the last one was the man who was shot down like a dog 50-years ago yesterday afternoon for having the courage to stand up to the privately held “federal” reserve, tell off the CIA, withdraw ALL military advisors from Vietnam, and inform the Joint Chiefs he wasn’t going to launch nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union, which is why you and I are alive today.

          Also I think you said you were headed for some safe location by this time because of shtf.

          I ask you to keep us informed what was happening about these two subjects.

          Thanks for letting us know what has happened per these two important subjects.

      7. CNN supports the antichrist in his mission to destroy the USA.

        • IMHO If the Anti Christ cannot get anyone smarter than CNN, you don’t have a problem. I’m a pagan, and even I am embarrassed about their total lack of common brains.

      8. before everyone gets all hot and bothered

        read Blake’s ENTIRE piece for yourself

        http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/08/the-obamacare-question-pastors-shun/

        I’m not gonna way in on Obamacare one way or the other
        but I think Breitbart is doing what is typically called
        a “hit piece”
        and thats to be expected of that site
        they’re conservative, to say the least
        they’re gonna slant things to the right
        just like DailyKos is gonna slant the same thing to the left

        read Blakes piece for yourself
        and then decide
        Breitbart’s piece is an interpretation

        • Your right satori , its a hit piece.
          BUT I still think that there is a war on to demonise those that believe in anything other than government.
          Again , the divide and conquer thing comes up .
          Wheather its race , religion , political or gender these fools are working on dividing us .
          A person can get lost in the “echo chamber” and i make it a regular practice to attempt to see both sides.

      12. Went to see the Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the midnight showing. The theater was crowded with teenagers. Young punk in the row in front of me talking about how his dad was craaazzzzyyyy for thinking that this country would soon devolve into a dystopia of some semblance to the movie backstory.

        • HAHAHA EISEN- i get that from my teenager ALL the time.
          How soon we may learn the truth.

          • Hammerhead, those young punks will shit on themselves when TSHTF.

        • The only thing dumber than a teenager is a college kid.

          • Smokey

            The only thing dumber than a teenager is a horny teenager

            • I don’t understand. I thought all teenagers were/are horny. On the other hand, at 61 mine still hasn’t completely worn off either.

          • Not all of them…my oldest is in college and is an E4 in the Army Reserves, she knows what’s up and so does my teenager. They both pay more attention to what is happening in this world than most adults. But yes for the most part, kids these days are dumb as a box of rocks…much like their parents. Poor sheep just won’t wake up till it’s too late unfortunately.

        • I saw the hunger games last night ….found the resemblance of the arrogant corrupt Lying President ….a rather accurate comparison of our current state of affairs. Whispered to my wife
          Part way through ” this is just coming attractions for what we will be seeing for real before long.”
          There is a storm coming. We need to work for the best…prepare or he worst. Enjoy what you can…for these will be remembered as ” the good old days” ……

        • And berkeys in my own experience have a 75% failure rate. Do your homework before buying a berkey!

          • Genius, I almost bought a Berkey online last spring when I first started hearing about the problems with the filters, so I changed my mind about Berkey. i’m looking at some others but i’m not sure which other water purifier similar to Berkey would be best.

            • BH I have had my aquarain for about 10 years and it still works great. I haven’t heard anything bad about the propur yet plus the propur filters out flouride. If you already have something else many times the filters themselves are interchangeable. Dolton is a spin off of berkey but I haven’t researched them. I guess just do as much research as you can then decide, take care my man..

            • I like Sawyer filters, personally. Imo its one of the better water filters on the market.

          • Just use the real British ceramic filters (UK made white filter) not the black ones ,and be careful with the washers on the attachment point. Check for leaks prior to using use red food coloring in water .
            This should solve the problem.

            • Why would I buy another product from a company that continues to sell defective life threatening crap? Bet my life on berkey? I don’t think so…

        • You’d be better off to go get you a used toilet and fill it with sand and charcoal. Put the water in the tank and flush it and it will bubble up through the sand and charcoal and then you can get down there and drink it! It ain’t a Big Berkey but it’s more like a Big Turdky….

        • Satori, I don’t know your background but I do appreciate the fact that you bring up the importance of prepping for a flu pandemic. It is really only a matter of time. There is no excuse not to get vaccinated. Many, including folks who frequent this site, will die from the flu before they die of starvation in this country. Most of us will be able to live 3 to 4 weeks without food if we have access to water but if you get the flu you will die within days.

          I saw a strong 40ish man die from the flu this summer and it was an urgent reminder to me that we must get the message out that folks need to get vaccinated. The death was totally unnecessary. Now, there is a woman out there without a husband/provider and two young sons without a father/mentor to lead and support them in the difficult times ahead. The danger is very real and present in the community.

          I have found many on this site are against vaccines, which is a crying shame. I suppose you may not need a vaccine if you are all bunkered down and ready to shoot anybody who approaches you from 1000 feet away but viruses have a way of spreading and vaccines have been proven effective. I don’t care what kind of opsecs you have you cannot and will not see this one coming. Those who refuse to get the vaccine better avoid going to any public places, gyms, churches, schools, restaurants, etc. Please, please, good people, I beg you, if you do not have an allergy to the vaccine, please go and get the vaccine. The benefits of prepping and getting the vaccine isn’t for something that might occur 10 years, 20 years or even 30 years from now. It may actually save your life this year!

          • Go die in a hole, you death peddler!

            • Dear assrat: Like it or not, the vaccines have stopped polio, smallpox, plague and a dozen others. Look at the causes of death a little over 100 years ago. They have done a wonderful job. Contributed far more than you will.

            • Hey assrat,

              Name ONE, just one person who has died from any vaccine? You are living under a rock. And you have a lot of company with some of the other anti this and anti that luddites on this site…

                • Genius, Thanks for the reference. I read it and came to the conclusion that it is an anti-vaccine website, so, of course they are going to be pushing their agenda. They have an ax to grind and it may be legitimate but circumstantial evidence isn’t enough, we cannot call it evidence based medicine.

                  There is so much in science and medicine that we don’t know. Our capabilities advance yearly (almost hourly)but we have barely scratched the surface in understanding biological mechanisms at the genetic, molecular, proteonomic, and metabolomic levels.

                  There are many things that are harmful to the body and I will be the first to say that we may be giving harmful medicines that may someday be banned. Water can be harmful in certain settings, think of the many people who drown over the course of a year. But there are many more who drown in their own fluids, pneumonia, flu, heart failure, pulmonary edema, etc., etc, that we never really hear about in the media.

                  In over 30 years of practice, I have yet to see someone who died or was hospitalized from a vaccine, I agree, that is only circumstantial evidence. I do not deny that allergic reactions or complications don’t occur or haven’t been reported in the medical literature. I too felt some aches and pains after my most recent flu vaccine.

                  I do not say that we understand the MOA on everything completely. But, I dare say, that the flu vaccine has saved more lives than can be imagined. Developing immunity is a natural response. All of us have developed immunity, without the ability to develop immunity we would all be dead.

                  Vaccines are a way of helping a non-immune person to develop immunity. It is the ultimate in prepping and protecting the body from some potentially dangerous illness.

                  Doctors deal in harmful poisons called medicines. Just about everything in medicine is a poison. Even everday medications like asprin and acetomenophen are poisons. Like I said above, even water is a poison.

                  Choose your poisons wisely. Some may kill in high enough doses while at the same time protect you or help you in small quantities.

                  All your weapons, knives, axes, bows, guns, explosives, will not protect you from that small itty bitty virus that comes at you like a ninja when you are least aware. You might be able to blow someone away at 500 yards but not be able to do diddly squat to protect yourself against that unseen virus, bacteria, fungus, protozoa, parasite, venom, or toxin. If you are not protected from the inside, don’t worry, they will eventually find a way to get fresh meat!

                  Stay healthy. Protect yourself. Vaccinate!

                  It was amazing to see how many people gave me a red thumb and shut down my previous posting! Hopefully more people read it out of curiosity!

          • What stops me from getting a flu jab is the fact that big pharma has been caught many times putting LIVE viruses in their vaccines. Add adjuvants, thimerisol, mercury and lead and I’d rather take my chances without the vaccine.

            Not to mention the fact that viruses mutate so quickly that by the time you get jabbed, the virus you were worried about has already mutated into something different.

            Too many people, especially children get sick within 24 hours after the jab and die. In India, tens of thousands of children paralyzed for life after getting Bill Gates’ polio vaccine.

              I noticed the flu vax we recieved at work were French from Pasteur labs it appears what the Goverment is using is different from the private sector . We were required to have all of our booster shots completed by October 1, 2013 just before the shutdown.

              Oops got to go , order to ruck up for our exercise day 3, thank god for smart phones.

              I agree and also I want to thank you for your posts and wish you a great Thanksgiving.

              • You too, and the same Happy Thanksgiving wish, from me to everyone here.

            • Right on, Sixpack, Every fall the ol’ toddlers (senior citizens) line-up at the pharmacies to get their annual shot of poison in this little mud village I live in and within a week or two at least half of them are sick. Their response to their illness is usually something like this: “Good thing I got that shot or I probably woulda got it real bad.”

              • Rollo

                Absolute hogwash and you know it.

              • I know, it just doesn’t seem to dawn on some people that they might not have gotten sick without the shot, and it was probably the shot that made them sick.

                The elderly have a valid excuse for buying into the crap, but the younger set doesn’t have the alzheimers excuse.

          • The bulk containers of flu vaccine contain mercury as a preservative. If you check, you will find that the amount of mercury is much more than the government says you’re supposed to ingest. I know mercury is poisonous. I know I have never had the flu in my life. None of my ancestors have ever had the flu. My grandfather helped dress dead people in 1918 and never caught the flu. He was handling one flu victim after another.

            I would rather take my chances on catching flu rather than being shot with a known poison.

            I already have that stupid monkey virus from the polio shots back in the early 1950s when I was too young to do anything but yell and struggle. It took three people to hold me down even then.

            Is mercury poisoning enough excuse?

            • Archivist is a good name for you. You belong in some dusty archive somewhere with your outdated utterly false thinking. NONE of what you wrote is true. Your research came from reading myths about flu shots from the likes of Alex Jones and other nutcases…

              • Umm, the cdc admitted they gave those contaminated flu shots to millions of people. Then they pulled it off their website. But the website is cached.

            at 500, your chances of spreading that virus is over.

            but now I digress…fuck vaccines…look into essential oils to fight all disease and virus.

            they work.

          • laeagle, you may want to check out the website of Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, an expert on vaccines. you’ll find some information that will change your view of vaccines. Vaccines are not the ‘good thing’ we’ve all been led to believe. Link to follow.

            • Braveheart:

              Thanks for the link. Also Jon Rappaport at nomorefakenews has article after article about vaccines and big pharmas connection to congress and the FDA.

              The more information any of us has on the pros and cons of vaccines; the better the decisions we can make for our and our families health.

              Big Pharma = Big dollars
              Big Pharma = Big Lobby
              Big Pharma = Big dollars to Congress

              Big Pharma ranks amoung the highest dollars spent lobbying congress to protect their industry.

                But you know what? People like you always , always end up in the end taking real medicine when they get really sick and they are glad to get it… It WORKs and the quack medicine that some of you folks babble about does not…

              • …right up there with the military industrial complex and monsatan…

          • For laeagle and anyone else interested: http://drtenpenny.com she also wrote a book on the subject.

          • laeagle,
            I know many of my fellow health care providers see vaccination as an important preventative but I have mixed feelings about the vaccines.

            One concern is the high percentage of vaccines that don’t work. Last year’s flu vaccine was only 50% to 75% effective. A small percentage of people vaccinated end up with side effects, some of which can be severe. I can understand people not wanting to take the risk.

            I have never been vaccinated for flu. (I’m just a wimp about getting needles stuck in me- I’d rather be on the other end.) Until the last few months, I was actively practicing primary care and emergency room medicine. In the many years of being exposed to lots of patients with active flu, even coughing in my face, I never have gotten the flu. I attribute that to frequent hand washing, avoiding touching my eyes, nose, and mouth with dirty hands, and living a lifestyle to promote my health and immune system.I also come from an ornery family that tends to go on the defensive when under attack and I think my immune system tends to be defensive too.

            People think that these germs are roving around out there looking for people to attack but the germs need a fertile ground to grow on and it is not very difficult to take steps to make the body a less hospitable place for an infection without resorting to vaccines.

            • Merree, are you familiar with Dr. Sherry Tenpenny and her research on vaccines? If not, a link for her website is right above your post.

              • I have seen some of what she has written and I have done some investigations of my own. As I mentioned, I have mixed feelings about vaccines. When I was a resident I helped care for an infant with pertussis and he nearly died from the illness. It was a horrible thing for an infant to endure. People die horrible deaths from many of the diseases that vaccines protect against and I prefer that my patients don’t die from preventable causes.

                However, I have some concerns.
                First, it is clear that pharmaceutical companies frequently report biased results. Last year’s flu vaccine was a great example. It was touted as an effective vaccine but, in reality, it turned out to be only marginally effective, especially in the elderly.

                There have been numerous cases of pharmaceutical companies hiding information or altering information and I am at the point that I look at everything they produce with a skeptical eye. Sometimes I go to the websites built for personal injury lawyers to look at what they are reporting to lawyers for upcoming lawsuits. In one case, I noticed the legal actions and stopped using a drug an entire year before warnings came out in medical journals and two years before it was withdrawn from the market!

                There are two concerns I have about vaccines that I have asked about at medical meetings. I have never gotten a straight answer on either one from the experts. They either claim to not know what I’m talking about or to just say, “don’t worry about it” without telling me why I don’t need to worry.

                The first concern is the history of contaminated vaccine with simian virus. I have asked for details about how vaccines are manufactured and how they prevent new episodes of contamination. I have never gotten a explanation that goes into enough detail to reassure me that this is being addressed. This worries me.

                The second concern is the possibility that some people have a genetic makeup that reacts poorly to vaccines, especially when many are given at one time. We do not have a way to predict who will have a harmful response and very little research has been done on this problem. I suspect that there are genetic subtypes that do not handle vaccines the same way as the majority of people and these vulnerable groups may be the ones that are having the severe reactions. I do not know anyone investigating this, especially with an eye to preventing future problems.

                There are many doctors that I ask about these things and I get a very adamant visceral and very hostile response. They do not seem open to any dialog. Any time I come across such a dogmatic response, I feel somewhat alarmed because it appears that these issues become ones that will eventually disintegrate because they are not taking account the flaws in the system and working to reduce them.

                • Merree, the last flu shot I had 4 years ago I became sick from it only a few hours after taking it. After recovering from it, I first heard Dr. Tenpenny on Joyce Riley’s show The Power Hour.com. After checking out her website, I have refused all kinds of vaccinations ever since. I take some Vitamin D3 every morning and haven’t been sick in 4 years. braveheart

                  • Braveheart,
                    I have had many people tell me about becoming sick immediately after getting a vaccination. This is another area where other physicians (experts in vaccinations) will say this is just a mild reaction to the vaccine and not a serious illness. However, I have seen people who have become very ill after vaccines, getting colds or even influenza.

                    One reason may be that the person was already ill and the vaccine did not have time to work. There is an incubation period of one to several days for an infection. The vaccine does not take effect immediately- it can takes up to a week or so to provide immunity. This leaves an overlap period where someone could become ill but it is not due to the vaccine or its ineffectiveness.

                    Another potential that makes sense to me is that the vaccine causes the immune system to gear up to react to the vaccine and this stresses the body as much as an actual infection. The body might react to the vaccine with all the resources it would use to fight an infection, including fevers, fatigue, and other symptoms. In effect, the vaccine may be creating a pseudo illness in response to the vaccine particles. I do not think any researchers have ever investigated whether this goes on but it would make sense to me.

                    The third possibility is that the vaccine triggers the immune system which stresses the body and makes it more vulnerable to other infections. Essentially that, while the body is responding to a frontal attack from the vaccine, other infections can attack from the flank and gain ground when they normally would be repelled. I do not know if anyone has ever investigated this possibility- I certainly haven’t seen any research on it.

                  • USE YER BRAIN! IF YOU GO GET YOUR VACCINES THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING SICK FROM US THAT ARE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO GET THEM RIGHT? (crickets chirping in the background)…

      14. CNN is 100% correct. Why anyone is surprised? This is an actual mission statement from any corporate entity consisting of “Black White Haters”, “Zionists Board”, Half Muslim (Christian Amanpour), Gay and lesbian lovers, Zionist Christians and Mr. Let’s have a open marriage and not forget Mr. Morgan who still believes USA is a colony of the UK.

        .

        • Words from the CNN “Beth el” synagogue of Satan.

          In business and finance they collude to force out the competition.

          They will do they same with the Christian church.

          The German people called it “legerdemaine”

          • The German people ? You mean the Nazis right .

      15. Christians are being attacked more and more with each passing day. Religious affiliation is at an all-time low in Amerikkka. I guess it was more important for you old bastards to get your SS checks and get your Denny’s breakfest than to raise your children right in the Lord. I never pray for anything. Instead, I thank God for what I have.

        • Eisen….you started good with the first sentence but then it went to the gutter……What SS for old B….and Denny’s breakfast has to do with being a good Christian? Also What do you mean ” I never pay for anything”? Have you become a EBT user? If yes can we call you the Parasite bastard?

          • @ Tac.. reread his post. he wrote: I never PRAY for anything (asking the Lord for things) instead, he thanks God for what he has.

            • gone under: Many thanks for the correction.

              @ Eisen: My sincere apologies to you to misread the last sentence. My parents thought me to say sorry when I am wrong. They are old but I love them and I’ll respect them as I respect all elders as log as they are good human beings.

              • Tactical, you’re apologizing to EISEN? I hope you’re not coming down with something. [no sarcasm or offence intended]

                • Tac is a honorable man. I do disagree with 25% of his post, but that no reason to red thumb him.

                  • Thanks gone under. Appreciate the feedback.

                • Hey braveheart. I was wrong and misread Eisen’s comment. However I have no respect for him as log as he continues to be the same Eisen. LOL.

                  • Tactical, I understand where you’re coming from. As long as he keeps showing his tail, I don’t have any use for him either.

          • Eisen, just what do you have against the people of this site? what has anyone here ever done to you? How do you live with yourself? If you would stop being a prick people would look at you in a better light. On occasion, you do provide some good advice and you’ve also shown a capability for carrying on a decent conversation. If you would start doing that on a regular basis, it would do you a world of good.

          • What a mean spirited angry little prick you are.

          • Your anger blinds you to the truth ! You might want to ask for some help so God can heal your heart. Going around being pissed off all the time causes others to get pissed off at you !

        • you are one sorry bastard eisen. you know nothing us us older folk. If it weren’t for older folk you wouldn’t be here to bitch and complain. Leave the country if you don’t like it or stay and change it for the better,most on here do.

          • Jim in Va…… Just ignore him. His new medication is damaging his tiny brain even more.

          • If you value your life just don’t fuck with “OLD GUYS”.

            They get pissed easy and won’t take time to even fire a warning shot. Most have had guns and been raise with guns since they were very young as were my Children and grandkids.

            • It is what they call a “grampage”.

              • HAHAHAHAHAHA Thats pretty good.

        • @ Eisenkreuz. Unless someone home schools their children they are exposed in public schools to anti-Constitution censorship and promotion of sicko idealism. Unless children are sheltered on some farm or something they are exposed to this rat sh$% that has become society. When a parent can raise a good kid nowadays it is a true achievement with all the poison that these poor kids have to ingest each day from these evil weirdos that are marketing pure slime.

          Thanks to the selling out of America to the enemy China, and other third world countries, there is no longer one parent home to be there with the kids anymore. The latch-key kid age. Kids are exposed most of the time to completely the wrong element. What is a parent to do when their children are being forced to be around these perverts and their sick life styles because not to is discrimination? BO and the puppet masters don’t want good morals and truthfulness taught to the young. They want o condition them just like the Hitler youth for later use. I don’t see how these are not the end times, as society can’t get much lower before hitting bottom.

        • Last I checked, only 1/3rd of Americans were religiously undeclared. And this does not mean that they aren’t Christians as well.

          America is still very much a Christian majority.

          And I would not say they are being attacked. Someone that disagrees and challenges your views is not making an attack. No ones perspective viewpoints are above questioning and skepticism, not even mine.

          • Can you appreciate the difference between “christianity” and “churchianity”. If so, you may also have an appreciation for our dilemna.

          • Where have you been for the last 20 years AJ? Under a rock?

        • eisen…we have something in common.
          I do pray for those less fortunate than me–the Philippine Islands, the Illinois neighborhoods, etc.

        • Come one folks, don’t shoot the messenger or make this a class warfare issue. I think Eisen brushes on a valid point. “Religious affiliation is at an all-time low…” and, I’ll add it’s not just those that don’t attend but also includes all the churches that bow and scrape to their savior through 501 tax exemptions, worshiping gold frilled admiralty flags draped over their alter, refusal to publicly speak out against all the corruption around them, continued facebook bickering and backbiting, paying tribute to the zionist controlled music industry for the privilege of singing hymns on Sunday, worshiping cops and US military as heroes, paying tribute to satan by supporting usury of high interest building loans… ad nauseam. And… he’s also right about households not raising their children right in the Lord. If they did raise their children to be right in the Lord, the churches and their members would not be participating in all this satanic crap I mentioned. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just saying.

          • I’ve been going to church over 50 years, and I’ve never seen any kind of flag draped over an altar.

            And I suppose the church is supposed to steal the hymnals.

          • Crabbe, yes, eisen did make a valid point about religious affiliation being lower than ever in the history of this land, but then he started being his usual self attacking people for no good reason. i’m just sick of anyone attacking the good people on this site for no good reason and I don’t care WHO it is. they will get tongue-lashing from me. bank on it.

        • Yeah, one set of parents in our generation really screwed the pooch bringing you up.

        • Eisenstein: You whinny little punk, get back to work so that I get my SS check you lazy bastard! I worked for mine, it’s your turn now.

        • Eisenpoop-

          FYI sonny, word on the street has it that Ocommie-care still has a vacancy on their “DEATH PANEL BOARD”.

          Judging from your resume’ here at SHTFplan..I’d say you’re just the type of asshole they’re looking for.

          Make haste dipshit, fill out that job application soon, because you’re a real shoe-in for the position!

      16. The churches already do a lot to help the poor. Clothing, food, rent vouchers, electricity and gas vouchers, pot luck suppers, etc. It’s not my church’s job to pay for my health care.

        • the bottom line is
          churches just can’t deal with the health care problem

          being hospitalized for even a few days often results in a bill
          of tens of thousands of dollars

          a traumatic injury such as a car accident can easily result in a
          bill of hundreds of thousands or even a million dollars

          or how about life long care for someone with spinal trauma and who is ventilator dependent ???

          your EASILY talking about millions of dollars

        • I know based on facts a local church help a 12 years old boy with leukemia who needed bone-marrow. The total cost was around 75K including hospital, doctors etc.. No one should doubt there are still good Christians out there since the boy’s parents were poor and medicaid wasn’t covering the total cost that was well over 150K.

          • The Mormon church will take up a collection from it’s members, and can raise a serious amount of cash for the right cause, even a medical one.

        • It has been documented that churches also like to pocket the money.

          And is it fair to make the homeless sit through a sermon just so they can receive a sandwich? It’s like ransom. A lot of my people do this as well and it bugs me.

          This is why I tend to donate to secular charities. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pocket the money as well.

          • Angry Jew, yes there are bad churches out there run by bad people who take advantage of people. I won’t deny that, but they are more of a minority than a majority. I’ve belonged to two non-denominational churches. (I had to find another one when I moved out of state) Both churches never made anyone sit through a sermon to be fed. Instead we go out into the neighborhoods and assist them. AND nobody forces anything on them. All we do after feeding/assisting them is ask if we can pray for them.

            Not one has ever said no, and in most cases they say thank you.

          • Yes, it is fair. If I had to work to provide the meal, the homeless should work to receive it. It’ll mean more that way…

            • They may not accept your beliefs, they are just looking for help. To force them to sit through a sermon of something they do not agree with is completely unnecessary. For people so against forcible action, one would think that you wouldn’t follow in such footsteps just to let someone eat.

              And if you call ‘work’ sitting through an hour and a half of listening to someone talk, then I understand much better why American’s are often called lazy.

              Also, to deny them said food because they don’t accept your beliefs makes you look prejudice.

              • No one is forcing anyone to do anything… Your thinking is twisted and so is your brain….

          • Angry Jew, there are both religious and secular charities that rip off people every day. the only charity I ever donate to is the Salvation Army. they helped me and my wife in the aftermath of a hurricane once. We had gone to the Red Cross for help first and were turned away. When we went to the Salvation Army, they couldn’t help us enough; they were that good to us. I don’t forget things like that. I won’t give a dime to Red Cross. BTW, Red Cross along with the VATICAN after WW2 helped tens of thousands of Nazi and Fascist war criminals to escape from Europe to South America and the Middle East. braveheart

            • It’s a Salvation Army Sunday school my son now attends.

              They actually READ the good book as part of the class – such a rare thing nowadays in most churches. Then the kids discuss what they’ve read to increase their understanding of the text.

              Less preaching and more practicing is the way I like it.

      17. As Christians we should expect to be demonized more and more as time goes on. Homosexuality and abortion are what’s sacred to liberals. Those who refuse to love those things are portrayed as evil.

        (Isa 5:20 NIV) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

        • barn – We shouldnt have to EXPECT to be demonized , our country was founded on christian principles .
          In fact you can even be a socialist or muzzie and not expect to be demonized .
          As long as we can hold it together. I aint takin no shit for what i believe , and nobody should .
          Constructive criticism is ok , but you got the right to believe as you wish .
          Hold strong on this .
          The libtards at CNN can pound sand .

          • The culture is becoming increasingly hostile towards God, Christians, and Christianity. We’re also getting closer and closer to the Great Tribulation.

      18. I am Christian, conservative, white, Southern, self-employed and armed.

        I am all the things my government hates.

        I am proud.

        • I am Christian, conservative, white, northerner, self-employed and armed.

          LOL , dont back down brother.
          Why not just say “proud American” the bulleye is the same size .

          • I am White Anglo Saxon Protestant. I don’t back down from anything!WASP

            • Well, I is a nigra and I loves OBAMA…. He be by Lawd and Savior!

              • Wow. Not a single negative comment from Them Gays, Pissed off tranny or Testicle.

                • Redneck:

                  If you haven’t noticed your comments are not even worth anyone telling you what an asswipe you and your collection of idiots are.

                  Nothing of consequence spiels out of you and your low life friends mouths. Do you really think anyone on shtf other than the terds you float with think you are smart?

                  Have you not noticed no one of any consequence on shtf even wants to take the time to reply to anything you have to say?

                  You are not fit to wipe the butts of the people you choose to demean….you and your friends are cur dogs.

                  • It’s called freedom of speech you shrivelled up old bat. Don’t much care for it when it doesn’t please you ?

        • Silver

          I cannot believe you just said that online. Now you are guranteed to be on a list somewhere. You are so screwed.

          I am all that you said except self employed. Oh well I like a good screw.

      19. The day is coming when Christians will be hunted down for execution. Jesus predicted in Matthew 24:9 –
        “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”

        In this passage, Jesus was talking about the end times. We know that we live in the end times because the key indicator is that Israel has again become a nation. Jesus said that the generation which sees Israel’s return will be the last generation of the age.

        • Not much of a prediction. It is fairly common for religions to butcher each other, this has been known for thousands of years.

          Pagans butchered the Christians.
          Christians then butchered the pagans.
          Muslims butchered the Christians.
          Christians butchered the Muslims.
          Muslims and Christians butchered the Jews.
          The Jews and Christians are currently butchering the Muslims.

          The way things go.

          • AAJ – many have butchered in the name of religion, but you secular humanist Marxists have butchered more in the last century than all of history combined…

            • Reagan Vet. Amen.

            • Reagan Vet, welcome aboard, and part of my wife’s family were murdered in Cuba after it fell to the Castro brothers.

            • “secular humanist Marxists”

              First explain yourself. This makes absolutely no sense at all.

              I am not secular. And this wouldn’t be an insult anyway considering secularism has nothing to do with butchering anyone. It is simply a way of life without religious influence.

              I sure am not Marxist.

              I may be somewhat of a humanist though, which isn’t a bad thing.

              • AJ-

                Am probably going to be banned for this post, but here’s the real deal…

                Your tribe’s current belief system is responsible for the overwhelming bulk of humanity’s social, economic, political and sectarian woes, period!
                Throughout recorded history, mind you.
                ..call it ‘influence peddling’, writ large..(or sans that, pure/refined Babylonian religion based evil).

                Am referencing from the beginning(see Genesis) to present day..also reference the Edomites and the Canaanites, from whom the O.T. pharisees DNA originated(they were NOT of Abraham’s seed), only to be continued and propagated via the seed of the Khazarians.
                -(again, devoid of Abraham’s seed.)-

                Thus per modern-day definition, you’ve defined yourself as belonging to the 13th tribe(see Arthur Koestler’s book).

                ———————————————————-

                I think, RV’s reference to the words secular-humanist-marxist, isolates and identifies the tribal perpetrators, bent upon destroying Western(Christian) Civilization and the usurping of the Gospel of Jesus Christ..of whom is the foundation upon western-civ rests upon.

                Now its on global display, for all to observe and take note of. -(if one cares to)-

                ———————————————————-

                Just so you know..the teachings(IMO), found within your tribe’s holiest book, the Talmud..is not only anti-human.

                ..it is anti-GOD(the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit), as well.

                ———————————————————-

                Hope this helps you realize that, there is a real life alternative, outside the lies and perversions of the Talmud and its insane Rabbinical authors..

                ..your ancestors demanded he be murdered/innocently crucified.
                But, he rose from the dead, defying their wanton blood-lust(see Mammon).
                ..and I don’t think he takes too kindly to what your rabbinical scholars wrote about him & his mother.

                -and FYI..he’s coming back one day and this time his mission is different from his first one!

                ———————————————————-

                HELL is only half full now!
                It won’t be once he’s finished!

                ..do you understand now???

                • Hunter:

                  You have studied well, my friend. I read an article just today that said many Americans find it just to painful to think they have been misled; especially by their teacher preacher.

                  The Lord will send a wakeup call to America, and soon, or there wont even be a remnant left that knows the truth.

                • Your entire argument is based on the assumption that your beliefs are correct and that mine are false. FYI, you wouldn’t have your beliefs today if it wasn’t for mine existing FIRST.

                  You keep referencing Jesus and other things I do not accept as if it is supposed to shine some light down from the heavens.

                  2000+ years ago was a very different time from today. If God commanded it, it was done.

                  Regardless, you are a racist. You see that I am Jewish and seem to think I am automatically an evil person, deserving to be insulted and criticized. Rude, presumptuous pig.

                  • AAJ: heres where you are Wrong on Your religion and debunks what you said IE “If Not for Your religion Christians would Not have Theires!” YOU have it Backwards!

                    From: Jewish Rabbis Own info.

                    Further, the rabbis freely stipulate that Judaism is POST-Christian and NOT derived from “the Hebrew Bible.” Here are a few of dozens of admissions:

                    “This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians – that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression. Judaism is not the religion of the Bible.” [Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, Judaism and the Christian Predicament, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967, p.59, 159]

                    “The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature, and round it are gathered a number of Midrashim, partly legal (Halachic) and partly works of edification (Haggadic). This literature, in its oldest elements, goes back to a time before the beginning of the Common Era, and comes down into the Middle Ages. Through it all run the lines of thought which were first drawn by the Pharisees, and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism.” [Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 pg. 474] (IE: All them Pharisee Rabis Learned and Adopted in and From Babylon and babylonian satanic evils etc, then after 70 yrs Returned with that babylonian teachings and rest is history.)

                    PHARISEES FIRST, THEN THE TALMUD, THEN “JUDAISM.”Got it?

                    “The Bavli [Babylonian Talmud] has formed the definitive statement of Judaism from the time of its closure to the present day.” Rabbi Jacob Neusner, quoted by Norman F. Cantor, The Sacred Chain: A History of the Jews, page 112)

                    The Talmud was first written TWO CENTURIES AFTER Jesus Christ’s Incarnation, Passion, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension. The Talmud “closed” FIVE CENTURIES AFTER Jesus.

                    PHARISEES FIRST, THEN THE TALMUD, THEN “JUDAISM.”Got it?

                    “Beware! of the Leven(sin/false teachings/ungodliness) Of the Pharisees!!” Jesus Christ’s Dire Warning to and For Christians from New testement bible verse.

                    Also research: JOHN 8:44 and Rev. 2:9 for further info/Proof to Beware!

                  • OK AJ-

                    Let’s do this again, albeit w/o emotion, OK?

                    I am going to assume at this point, that you’re female (if not, no offense intended on my part), its just a hunch, OK?

                    That said:

                    Its fine by me if you DO NOT ACCEPT what I write per religion, yours or mine.
                    But you must understand, you cannot come waltzing onto a message forum that is dominated by assorted Christian religious folk, in their manifold denominations and expect them to agree with your interpretation of scripture(see Holy Bible).

                    I understand that at least publicly, your stated faith resides/is based upon the Torah. If that is the extent of it, then good for YOU(honest)!
                    I’ve read it too.
                    I am also familiar w/ the evil that is the Talmud and the wickedness it espouses.

                    Such pseudo-religious garbage(imo), is the hallmark and handiwork of Satan/Beelzebub/Baal etc.
                    I take its writings literately.
                    Why shouldn’t I????

                    Have you ever actually read it??

                    ———————————————————-

                    Per your assumption that my beliefs are superior..well, you are correct. I admit such openly here and now. Yet in this country, you are free to believe what you will.
                    Again, good for you.

                    In reality..
                    You missed my point, I was referencing an established ‘track record’ per documented history, of those largely responsible for the ongoing destruction of Western Civilization..of which you are a beneficiary of, RIGHT NOW!
                    Western Civ allows for you to possess the liberties you enjoy at the moment and Western Civilization was/is solely a creation of Christian gentility.
                    But currently, its hanging on by its fingernails, in case you weren’t aware…its likely to perish soon should the curve continue its plotted course.

                    ———————————————————–

                    Is it all the fault of YOUR tribe?

                    NO!!!!

                    Gentile apathy shares a-plenty, again IMO.

                    ———————————————————–

                    Is/was there malice aforethought on the part of uncounted numbers of jews, whose focus is/was to destroy Christianity and thus by extension Western Civilization…of course!

                    That is what sticks in my craw and causes me to fear, what the future entails for my children and grandchildren.

                    ———————————————————–

                    ..and finally, I AM NOT A RACIST!

                    I AM A RACIALIST! (meaning): I AM AN ADVOCATE OF/FOR MY RACE and the CIVILIZATION IT CREATED WITH THE APPROVAL/BLESSINGS OF THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!

                    ..yes, sometimes I AM RUDE! So was my senior NCO, but he knew his shit!

                    ..a PIG? NOPE! Sorry, but I do hunt the wild/feral ones and eat them!

                    ———————————————————–

                    -PEACE AJ!!!!!!!!!!

                    You live your life…I’ll live mine!

                    -GOOD LUCK-*

                    * this is my last com to you.

          • Nobody is butchering Muslims.

            Being a Christian leads to a changed life. You’re not a Christian because you go to church or because your parents were Christians.

            I’m a Christian because I repented of my sins and accepted what Jesus did on the cross as payment for those sins. And because I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord. If you follow God with your whole heart He will change you and make you into a different, better person.

            Someday the Jews will acknowledge Christ:

            (Zec 12:10p NIV) “They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

        • Get a clue my brother. Christ was speaking to the guys standing around Him and yes this happened to all of the Apostles as He said it would.

          As for we being in the “End Times”. We’ve been in them for 2,000 years. Just ask the Christians thrown to the Lions. The 17 million people killed by Tamerlane, the countless millions killed by Communists from all countries, or those in Egypt nailed to crosses last week.

          Burn your Hal Linsey and Tim LaHaye books as they are full of theological garbage

          • To deny and ignore the prophetic scriptures is to discard a great part of the scriptures themselves starting in Genesis and ending with Revelations. Just about all of books in the Bible have some prophetic messages. One ignores these at their own risk. We cannot cut and choose the scriptures we like and ignore the rest, even though it happens a lot. It is not a book of ‘favorite quotes’, it is the Word of God, words to learn from and to live by everyday!

            • Why not try using your head for something other than a hat rack. Christ was answering a question asked by his disciples. Thus the prophecy was for them, not people 2,000 years into the future. Scripture also needs to be viewed in the light of logic, with nothing which is not implied by it added. Not the mumbo-jumbo taught in dispensational churches, or Dallas Seminary.

              Having a M.S. in Biblical Studies from an accredited seminary, I sort of know what I’m writing about here.

              • Ghost, it’s obvious Jesus was speaking to the future church. The disciples came to him and asked, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (age)?”
                Everything Jesus said after that was in the context of “the end of the age”.
                But don’t worry about it too much – you’re not the first person with a fine, shiny degree to be wrong and you won’t be the last. Even Hussein Obama has political science and law degrees, and he’s a total foul-up.

                • You are both right and both wrong. Jesus was speaking to the disciples, but also of the believers to come. What happened to those who were gathered around Him that day? Most faced physical persecution and social hatred. Several were killed for their faith. For the next 300 years that was the lot of many Christians. During the second 300 years onward, it was a less of a concern within the Roman Empire, but the faith grew beyond its borders. Throughout history there has been persecution; from harassment and official limitations upon freedoms and ability to gain a livelihood to outright executions. It hasn’t stopped and just because it’s now becoming more prevalent in the USA its not new.

              • Ghost.

                You should ask for your money back. Liberals have infiltrated seminaries too.

                We don’t have Donald Grey Barnhouse anymore.

                the Tindales are gone too. Now all we have are yuppies everywhere.

                the Pharisees and Sadducces had Master degrees as well. But they missed the prophecies about the Messiah.

                Good luck….

          • Jesus said to watch for the signs of his return AND to be ready. To ignore that is to be disobedient to Christ.

        • And Luke:
          But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

          • Again Jay Jay, was Christ speaking to people 2,000 years into the future, or was he speaking to the people in the room with Him, who He was speaking to?

            Put the verse into context!

            There is no doubt that the Church has been, and will go through persecution! But that does not give us the license to put words into Christ’s mouth, does it?

            • Again, Ghost, you should put the verse into context! Jesus was answering the disciples’ questions about “the end of the age”.

              • Also, Ghost, they weren’t in a room as you said. They were outside on the Mount of Olives, looking at the Temple.
                Context, context, context!

            • Ghost.

              Was Benny Hill your major professor?

          • That was Christs Warning what to expect when as he predicted that jews temple would get demolished a 2nd time. That occured in 70 AD…And it was the Believing Christians that FLED to the mountain wilderness for safty etc…..Their times. Fullfilled IN 70 AD, the apostles desired more info on When to expect what Jesus said will happen to the jews and their temple. And indeed it did happen as predicted!

            Today we have tons of mammon worshiping pastors hawking delusional christians Funds $$$ to rebuild a Third temple by saying Thats a biblcal mandate from God too!

            What does folks not yet get, of where the antichrist shall arise from and which “tribe”?

            • In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 12, Verse 1-3, we see what God says about His response to how people treat Israel:

              “And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

              Sir, you are cursed. Sorry. You got owned by GOD bitch !

      20. The very lame scream media have become INTERNET TROLLS.

        • The antichrist is going to talk about Iran soon.

      21. Didnt I just read its Against the law now to feed the homeless, and help the Needy. somebody please help me make my mind up. These people are like playing Red light , Green light.

        • Yep, in Dauphin County. (I’m in PA too.) The real issue they are trying to deal with is that the homeless are congregating on county property and its making the county look bad. So they’re blaming the Christians for feeding them there, which in turn brings more of them there and makes the gov’t look even worse because they aren’t doing a damn thing except trying to get the homeless to go away.

      22. Just another attack on Christianity. Obama blames the press,whites,Republicans,George Bush and anything else that moves on his Obamacare failure. It getting old real quick. Every problem this man has is someone else’s fault or he didn’t know. I assume he doesn’t know he’s president!

      23. I am a good old fashioned heathen and I will side with the Christians against the Liberal Cultists when it all comes down.

        • I’m with you, as one heathen to another, there are a lot out there that their highest and best use is bait.

      24. The total decay of the society is unbelievable. It is like the masses are getting infected with the evil bug. So many now are turning to what is wrong and wicked. You look at what children are exposed to now. Dolls that look like little sluts. Music that promotes evil and worship of whatever the devil is to them. Music videos show sick acts of tramps waving around their VD infected asses with their tongues out like lizards in heat. Why would there not be attacks on Christians or anyone else that wants to live life correctly with a conscience.

        It use to be that people wanted to teach others to be kind and fair to others AND that freedom was worth it. No more. I watch music vidoes from decades ago and you can see the betterment of people back then. I was watching one video made about 25 years ago, something you all probably have heard many times. It is Toy Soliders by Martika. I think she was about 19 years old when she made this video about what happens with drug addiction. This music video is trying to save people not to kill themselves with dope. The end of the video shows Martika with a rose by a grave “saying with this symbolism that doesn’t happen to anyone”.

        Now sluts and faggots promote drugs and perversion at every turn and do the whoring work of the evil one. None of these losers have any talent either, that miley siren worm has one of the worst shrill voices like fingernails on a chalkboard. Others sound like a cat howling caught in a jumbo size rat trap.

        Check out an age of excellent music lost in a bygone era with this one music video by someone (Martika) that could actually sing, what a really nice voice she had, and have some meaning behind it. She wrote this because of a friend hooked on cocaine.

        • @BI, I don’t believe in coincidence. What is your perspective on a 4.5 quake in the Atlantic at this location. This short video has “the smell of truth” about it.

          http://youtu.be/ykrZXc4TjFw

          • No… its fear porn. Look in the usgs archives, I think it was around 13 miles DEEP. Almost double the deepest spot in the ocean.

            • Gone under…you could be correct…but let’s not forget that the USGS is a govt run entity. It wouldn’t be too hard to have the person who uploads the info to change a few pieces of data. It’s not like the govt hasn’t covered stuff up before.

            • @ gone under says: Your “fear porn dust-off” might have more legitimacy if I didn’t KNOW that this government, including the USGS LIES!

              If you watched the attached video, TOO MANY coincidental events occurring simultaneously around this “event”.

              I have seen reports that conclude this was NOT a natural event due to the “sudden”, no buildup SNAP. Not the usual naturally occurring earthquake protocol. I don’t buy the government lie anymore. As stated, TOO MANY coincidental yet RELATED events attached to this “story”.

              • I dont believe or trust the gov at all. I am aware of thr military purge of over 200 high ranking officers. The Tsunami buoys shut down for a period of time, the slightly possible movement of a nuke warhead. I also know that you just dont toss one aboard a craft, take it out to sea, and then detonate it. Why not just put it back where it came from. Where is the rad data to show a detonation? there are monitor sites that are Not gov. I also know that 90% of the shit posted on BIN is BS. The recent article on this site about schools was manipulated as it was from a Indian Reservation which has its own laws. So I question the source and details before I voice a opinion. Just like you do. If you believe the fired military officers detonated a 1.2 megaton nuke …fine.

              • @ Yental. Today (nov25) I did some checking. Different sites report it at about 300 miles off shore with a depth about 13km (about 8 miles) deep. It is strange that the military generals and admiral were fired the same day, which should just be a coincidence if we had a American president instead of a HNIC. But everything I read from independant sources have nearly the same depth. I dont know what the seismic effect would be in the water to the depth readings. If you can find a elevated gamma reading archived for the 1-7 days after by folling the jets stream to land, by all means post it. I will check the radiation network to see if they have a archive.

          • SALUTE YENTAL!

            ..and thanks for the heads up.

      25. Has Mr. Blake bought groceries with his money sacked them in multiple bags and delivered them to needy families at Thanksgiving or xmas (these can be considered religious holidays) while being colored blnd.

        Also when did he take a mother and child to a doctor’s office or a hospital while still colorblind and guarantee or pay payment for services rendered.

        • I bet never. Every time I see one of these stories and read people bashing Christians for what they are doing, I always ask them, “So what do you do for the poor, sick, hurt, hungry, lonely and forgotten people in the the world, let alone their own neighborhoods?”

          The only response is the sound of crickets.

          • Let Blake travel to Cuba where my wife was from and see what he thinks about communism then.

      26. When President Obama was elected he did say in front of the cameras a few days later that America was not a christian nation.

        He said in a speech in Egypt that there was no more beautiful sound than the muslim call to prayer.

        When he went to Notre Dame for a speech, all the references to Jesus,Christianity and the cross covered. He says he is Chrislam. It is a new movement combining Islam/Christian into one religion, saying you can be a Christian and a muslim at the same time. In some churches they are giving Muslim Imams equal time in the pulpit ministering……a big mistake…… A person cannot love/serve two masters. He will love one and hate with other.

        Case in point: If you attempted to bring in another person into your marriage and you told your husband/wife that this person would make up for the times you had a headache or spice up the love life, 99 per cent of you might end up with a abrasion on thy forehead or butt….. Definitely a rejection….. You have to choose, choose wisely as someone has said……

        It has been reported that Ted Turner has always been a critic of Christianity or he didn’t believe in God. Not surprised that CNN would be the launching pad for the anti-christian attitude that is taking hold in the world and now here.

        If anyone is interested, take a look at http://WWW.PERSECUTION.COM. Remember, HITLER and his gang of murders begin their Anti-Jewish assault by blaming the ills of the country on Jews……… They took their property and sent them to death camps in disguise of relocation/labor camps. We have Fema Camps. We don’t have ovens, but we have guillotines. We have railroad cars with shackles ready for use of transportation of non desirables to those Camps.

        I would not be surprise that as more Anti-Christian attacks come form the liberal media that soon after, we could see terrorist strikes on US churches by Muslims and other extreme groups as we see happening overseas……

        just my two cents worth …….

        • Don’t worry too much about the Muslim neighbor attacking you. Worry more about that so called ‘christian’ Democrat or Republican doing you in because you don’t believe in what they believe and follow. I have quit watching the MSM for quite some time now but particularly the CNN and Public Radio. I had an argument with a Republican the other day who was bashing Ted Cruz and the Tea Party as ignoramuses and stupid people for wanting to shut down the government and bash Obamacare. I really didn’t see any difference between him and a Democrat.

          • laeagle, you made valid points about the Dems and Repubs but you DO need to be concerned about Muslims. they are in this country with some of the worst intentions imaginable toward everyone who is NOT a Muslim. The DHS and FBI allowed them to set up terror training camps all over the nation back during the Bush Jr. era. that’s a classic example of the ‘war on terror’ being false. Why were Muslims still being allowed into this country after 9-11-2001? If we were in a real ‘war on terror’ against them, why do we accommodate them on anything? Why are there so many Muslims in the government, especially at DHS? Why does Obama have some Muslims as advisors? Google everything I’m saying and check it out for yourself. Muslims will eventually try to take our country. If I encounter a Muslim, I will help him find his beloved Allah.

        • Maybe it’s more like “A person cannot love/serve two masters. He will love one and LIE TO other.”

        • In the end, they will all be judged , by the one true GOD.

      27. Fuck these people. Honestly….

        • Pardon my language. it is out of character and hope I didn’t offend any.

      28. Don’t kid yourselves, there are a lot of liberal Christians in America, and they are all not supportive of Obama and his agenda. Fake Christians, for instance Bush and Obama, murder despite their publicly stated belief in Christ. Those actions are not compatible with the Christian faith or common decency. It seems there is a question of racist free speech. Christ drove the moneychangers out. Those were the Jews who now subvert the world from every aspect. Pointing that out is info important to clouded minds heavily brainwashed with love for the zionist state.

        • I must have missed something by not watching and listening to the MSM and CNN and Public Radio. I did not hear or know about Bush murdering someone. Can you please elaborate? Thanks.

      29. I don’t know Mac. Have you seen Bush’s latest attempt to convert Jews?

        How much money was wasted on that? Probably could have used that money to help thousands of people in need.

        • AJ-

          For once I actually agree w/ you, per the wasted money analogy.

          Rather fitting that they require MAMMON($$$) to be converted!

        • AAJ. Converting to a new religion doesn’t make a man or a woman to become a HUMAN. High percentages of practitioners of many religions in today’s world are far away from humanity. You can see the results on daily news.

          Couple examples:

          1- Muslims who behead non muslims to convert are not humans.
          2- Christians who kill innocent women and children’s via drone are not humans.
          3- Jews who destroy the mankind via controlling the monetary controlled system are not
          humans.

          • Great examples tactical! All one has to do is break down the word religion. RE..LIGION (re-align) to realign ones self to an external belief. To seek an external god away from ones self. Religion is just another form of government, made by man for control. The oldest form of govt. in fact. God (universal intelligence) is part of everyone, not something you need to seek from external sources. Religions are man made, scriptures etc. are man made, prophecies are written by man, of course biblical prophecy is coming true MAN wrote them and edited them through the ages to fit theyre goals. It’s easy to see if you THINK about it…

          • I like your new name. Testicle. I like it because one usually finds a testicle close to an asshole like them Guys. What a dolt. Not human ? Don’t want drones killing terrorists ? I’ll pay for you to go to Pakistan and do it yourself.

            • OPSEC, you just might want to think about removing your head from your ass. It’s not too late to break the chains of your indoctrination, you know. They’ve got you…they’ve got you by the balls, and you don’t even realize it. What are you doing at a site like this one, if you clearly can’t see the forest for the trees? Wake up. 😉

      30. Mao said that he would remove The Christian Faith from China forever. He then closed all churches and seminaries, burned all the Bibles, and killed all the Pastors……there are now between 60-100 millions Chinese Christians.

        Tough luck Mao, hope you like the heat down there!

        • Ghost, you are right and I have spent time with some of these persecuted Christians. The Word of God is the living Word. It cannot be destroyed by anyone. My grandfather was one of those who was tortured and brainwashed by Mao’s communists but the prayers of righteous people all over the world, particularly here in the United States led to his miraculous release and eventual rehabilitation and many years of productive life. God’s promises are sure, they are reliable, and they are the only thing that can be counted on when SHTF! You know, I don’t wish even Mao the awful consequences of his decisions and the eternal destiny that he has chosen. It is a terrible thing to be separated from the Love of God for eternity! What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?

      31. “So, Mr. Blake, before you bloviate about how followers of the teachings of Jesus are to blame for the world’s problems, go take a look in the mirror.”

        I would have tried to also work in the word “pontificate” in your critique…for obvious reasons…

        nice article… ‘)

        • above post is mine, forgot put in name…oops

      32. BI,……what amazes me….I have several…well educated and rational friends,…who I respect for their intelligence, courage and (mostly)…clear thinking,….who espouse the Obama presidency…and look at the republicans as mere and despicable obstructionists…in the way of progress and having little compassion for what the rational majority of reasonable Americans want and need …a progressive and empathetic society, geared for growth, but with respect for the underprivileged, with the advantaged paying a fair share without exploiting the middleclass thru insider knowledge and Illegal manipulation of markets……this may go on much longer than one would think….’till push comes to shove….and your good neighbors rebel,..unable to live a difficult but somewhat reasonable lifestyle….and finally living short of providing food and necessities for wife and family…..that last degree which pushes you to boiling….Jughead

        • @ JugHead. One thing I have heard over and over again throughout all religions is that the evil one and those that work for him are easily fooled and seduced by their desires and wants. Even the most educated person can have the wool pulled over their eyes if the wicked one is giving them something that they need or want. This is why people have to realize the difference between a fickle person or sheep and a conformist. This government has an unusual number of non black conformists that will back BO and the adminstration to the hill and beyond. This is what makes BO associated with something a lot worse than most realize.

          There is something I call EVIL MAGNETISM. The really awful dictators have had this to trick people into believing anything. Hitler had the ability to get into people’s minds and not only be one of the people, but be a master of deception and become a hardcore conman. It is one thing to hoodwink a person into paying a junk lemon car, and another to fool millions or tens of millions into going down the wrong path. It takes so true wickedness for this or some higher evil power pulling the puppet strings.

          Almost everyone here can see what is happening, we have free minds. The common person though is easily swayed by waht sounds good, and is too mentally lazy to think something though. Or worse they are in such a state of denial that they listen to what sounds like the golden path because they cannot face what is really going to happen.

          Then there is the HALL OF MIRRORS and ILLUSION. With the stock market, you can have a 500 trillion dollar debt and the Dow Jones at 100,000 and everyone dancing around like fleas on a hot brick. The MSM only focuses on the 100,000 number, not the 1/2 quadrillion number. Not until that debt explodes and it cost $1000 for a stick of gum does anyone see the smoke behind the mirror.

          DOOM and GLOOM is what the common idiot calls all of us that prepare. They say we are nuts for preparing for a government collapse or war, or something else. That other something else is what makes the non-prepper a true retard. You would think after seeing these diasters again and again that more than 1% of the people would prepare just in case their local area got hit. How dumbsh%^ can these fools be to not understand what it is like for a city or region to be without power for days or even weeks. Even after someone suffers through this they still haven’t learned their lesson.

          Many scientists warn that these long lulls in calm periods lead to stagnation in people and can lead to almost extinction because of the lack of enough people preparing and readying themselves. That 1% could do lower. I personally have seen less and less people showing any seriousness in preparing. RICH99 is an example of this as RICH has said that after awhile of nothing happening you lose interest in the day you will need what you need. Many preppers feel this frustration that all their supplies are going bad. People though must see what is happening in this world and remain vigil no matter what. Still we are seeing less and less people that are committed to being ready. This personally concerns me a lot. The disease of idiocy is taking over and you are right, it pushes you to boiling over because you can see just how wrong everything and so few of the population is listening or even willing to.

          • @BI What gets me is that being unprepared is a fairly new thing. In the past people always seemed to have a well stocked pantry and had skills such as canning, butchering, etc. I remember as a boy visiting my grandparents and being amazed at how much food they had canned and stored. Being unprepared is a product of the new convienience lifestyle, stores everywhere, fast food, instant microwave meals, etc. I live in a mormon area and I bet 90% or better are not prepared. Sad to see the skills of the old prudent ways are dissappearing fast. Welcome to the new idiocracy…

          • BI

            Statistics have shown that the younger generations in this country rarely hold the same job over 5 years. They also want to start at the top from day 1.
            I don’t believe the yonger generation has patience. We as parents spoiled them. I don’t know what age rich or others like him are. I would bet young.
            Another thing we can add to the list of things happening in this country.

      33. Another example why CNN is getting out if the “news” business….it is incapable of reporting the news…..and lost viewership is the reason. More gone with this article here.

        Progressives and liberals fear Christianity. This article wreaks of fear.

      34. Closed circuit to Mac:

        Mac, just a humble request to not use the leftist (IMHO) term: ‘give back’ when the more proper term is simply ‘give’. To give back someone has to give something first. Someone that has busted his can working and then donating goods or services is not giving back. They are giving. As our president has infamously said, PERIOD.

        Pet peeve, luv the site.

        • Is it not ‘giving back’ when sharing with the unfortunate what the Lord has bestowed upon us, the fortunate??

          • No, just giving, is correct, because the receiver hasn’t earned the gift. That’s why it’s a gift.

          • Thank you folks for your responses to my query about web sites dealing more with tech issues of prepping. I have pursued some of them including Low Tech mag. Thank you Warchild.
            I am at home after some surgery on friday that went well and was pretty invasive but successful.
            My wife and I pay dearly for health insurance and are damn happy at this point that we do. We reside on the northleft coast of the U.S. and keep our eyes somewhat open. Cannot help but notice that it is not just inner city poor people who are on the dole. In our area are huge numbers of people, many who are home and property owners, who have there hand in any and every cookie jar available. Not only are the hands out, but they quickly get indignant if anyone notices. I am really fearful of the fact that the entitlements go so far up and down the scale. Just saying that not all of the “takers” are in the inner city.

      35. What about the Islamic faith based outreach programs to help the poor. I have never heard of Muslims helping the poor in any community in America.

        I know Christian groups help the poor.

        Communist News Network (CNN) must be full of God hating Christian-phobes.

        • Those Islamic ‘charities’ operating in the US are front groups for Hezbollah, Hamas, and other ME terror groups. some have been under investigation by the FBI. that money goes to savages, not to poor people.

      36. Maybe they’re right. Maybe we’ve been too Christian with them. Maybe we should show them some of that good old Pagan “hospitality” that our ancestors would surely have shoved down their throats by now.

        • Maudy, too bad I can only give you one thumb up!! Here’s another ten though!!!!!!!!!!

        • LOL!!!!!!!!!!

          Thumbs up!

      37. Yeah I got some xtian for ya , templar style. You can have a few seconds too make peace with the creator before I cut your apostate satanic bastard heads off. )

      38. There is nothing that makes a group stronger than persecution. You would think the elite would know that by now; maybe that is why it is happening, they do know.

      39. Spare me the “Cristian Lecture”,would loved to have lunched with Tolkien/CS Lewis,just sick of the religious argument on all sides!Care for others ect.,try this tune out for tithing ect:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPaSYUk-4RE

      40. I’ve been told that Jock Itch, Toe fungus, and real bad farts are also caused by we Christians as well.(sarcasm)

        Truth is, you can always tell when you’re around someone who has a guilt problem, as they act “convicted” when they’re near one of us.

      41. Watch CNN for a few minutes til a commercial comes on. Take note of the advertiser. Call said advertiser and tell them you will no longer buy their product as they advertise on the hate channel CNN.

        Starve the beast.

        20% call themselves liberals(Socialists). 40% call themselves Conservatives. And then there’s the mushy middle 40%.

        Advertiser will flee CNN if they got enough complaints. The government, at this point, cannot mandate advertisers buy time.

        The 40% mushy middle is who we need to win over. If CNN goes out of business. They will have to get news from Fox. Not that Fox is perfect. But they are much better than CNN.

      42. I didn’t think it was possible to hate obummer, dummy carts or cnn worse until I read this article. All I have to say is let’s get this over with. Bring it on bitch!!! (obummer).

      43. @ braveheart and OutWest. You know back after 9/11 you went out and stocked up, but it didn’t feel like something immediate was going to happen. After the 9.1 tsunami in late 2004 and then 9 months later Hurricane Katrina and the rest of the hsuper hurricanes, it didn’t seem urgent. During the Israel war with Hezbollah it didn’t seem like time yet. Not after Russia whacked the crap out of Georgia. Not even after the 2008 economic collapse did it seem like this was it. Now after the recent events in the past year or so, it seems a lot closer. There is a hidden deep seated need to go get more to stock up on. Like a squirrel or ant sensing a terrible winter, and the need to make sure there is enough.

        For me it is not the economy, and believe it or not it is not earthquakes or volcanoes going off either. I still feel that war or a super virus is the most likely mega SHTF event. I don’t feel as strong with an EMP from the Sun, but that one is certainly possible. It is just a hunch, but I think one day we are going to wake up or be wide awake and see it beginning without warning. Could be a manmade EMP, an act of war. Could be that Andromeda type virus that gets loose and kills 90% or more and is unstoppable. This is what knaws at me the most, and actually is probably the most likely catastrophe to hit the world as both are way overdue. Do you or others have a hunch on what the true SHTF event will be?

        • breaking news…obama cut a deal with iran on nucs…

          “don’t go down without one helluva fight”

          • Be informed

            As hunches go, yours sounds as good as any.

            It looks to me like obama needs a war in the
            worst way, for the very same reasons FDR did.

            This deal with Iran is setting up to be the
            same strategy FDR used. Foment hostilities
            between Israel and Iran, let them get mired
            down in a knock down drag out entanglement,
            then ride in to assist our ally Israel.

            This way, BHO has his war on foreign soil
            without being the perpetrator in the event.

            This is how FDR got his world war on European
            soil, by riding in on a white horse to the
            rescue of Mother England, thus keeping the
            battle away from our doorstep at home.

        • BI, good evening. I have long suspected a grid-down scenario [whether EMP, solar flare, hackers] where all hell breaks loose, cities come under lockdown with no one allowed in or out for a certain amount of time so the animals can have the time of their lives, Obama declaring martial law, then DHS/Obama’s army/UN peacekeepers finally coming into the urban areas to restore order, attempts at gun confiscation, rounding up people and throwing them onto trains to be sent to FEMA death camps, maybe even WW3 breaking out at the same time. Flu pandemic and multiple earthquakes are also possibilities. My scenario could be wrong. there are so many different things that could happen either simultaneously or one at a time, like a domino effect. None of us can know until it hits. I don’t let it disturb me, BI; I’d end up losing my sanity and I don’t need for that to happen. all any of us can do is to continue prepping to the best of our ability [especially financially]. I’m continuing prepping all the way to the last minute, maybe even into the first few hours of MEGA-SHTF to get whatever I can. Don’t let it overwhelm you, my friend. There’s no point losing sleep over it. whatever happens will happen and there’s no preventing it. Just prep the very best you can. braveheart

        • BI, I too have been feeling the shadow is actually looming over us. The shadow (shtf) will be man-made. We, as a people, will self-implode. Not as in American but as in the world of man. It will be global, it will brutal, and it is almost upon us.

          • Many things are in motion now, most set off by people. It’s hard to pinpoint what it will be, but I think the “anger epidemic” is a symptom of that edginess among people who aren’t really aware of the thins we all watch; I think everyone feels it, only a few of us have an inkling what it could be about.

        • “There is a hidden deep seated need to go get more to stock up on. Like a squirrel or ant sensing a terrible winter, and the need to make sure there is enough.”

          Funny you should say that BI…

          I’ve got a few big ticket items coming up soon to deal with…and instead of “squirreling” away to make the cut…
          That extra 30 or 40 is going to bolstering the cache…
          I’ve got on this jag for additional lbs and lbs of sugar, salt, honey, baking powder, baking soda…to name a few…
          and I can’t forget the little one’s , inexpensive games and toys, playing cards to also name a few…
          it’s almost become an obsession.
          I think it’s logical to prepare, as best you can, for the unknown.

        • BI you feel the same thing me and my wife have been feeling. The last couple of months we feel something in the air. Perhaps a perfect storm of things about to descend on us. I don’t think it will be just one thing but many at once. The ptb have been telling us for years of theyre plans but no one believes it. I think it was kissinger that said we will create a crisis so big that the people will be begging for UN troops to save us. Aldous Huxley had a lot to say too. Recent history is full of in your face warnings about the plans for the world but the sheep just ignore it. Read the report from iron mountain, Huxley’s a brave new world, UN agenda 21, the protocols of the learned elders of zion, the list goes on and on. It all fits perfectly and anyone with eyes can see it is coming to fruition. The govt. does NOT represent you and is completely owned and controlled by these freaks. Yet the masses continue to look to the govt. for solutions which they will get, but they ain’t going to like them! Hegelian dialect is in full swing and the masses eat it up like it was a big chocolate doughnut!

      44. And they wonder *why* I don’t watch TV? If you can, tell me what’s on the idiot box worth my precious time?

        And the persecution continues and will get even worse as time goes on. Matthew 24:9

        9″Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10″At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.…

        Pretty much sums up the situation right there.

      45. That guy and CNN are full of shit! Churches help people more than the government does. The government can’t help people with their religious needs. The dear leader couldn’t even own up to Fuckin himself if asked. Proud Non-Supporter since 2008.

      46. Looks like this article go the attention of a lot people including Christians.

      47. I once was a “Christian” until I uncovered the lies of Church, Bible and god.

        Wake up people Jesus ain’t coming back to take you up on a cloud.

        The number of people destroyed in the name of Christianity sickens me. The Christians and Muslims deserve each other.

        The people of this country will reap what they have sowed. And we deserve all we get. And you Christians are reaping what you have sowed.

        Your Pastors sold you out years ago for their precious 501Cs. All your Church cares about is money and more of it.

        Maybe when this all is over people can live without religion. Some god you have when its ok to go over and kill innocent people in his name.

        Stop and think why so many people hate Christians. Its not because of their freedom and their One and Only god. Its because of the death and destruction in his name.

        Do you really think Americans are so exceptional. I am ashamed to be an American,the flag and the empire. The New Testament was lie to keep the sheeple quiet. Something like our government would do in this day and age.

        Is really so farfetched to believe the Roman empire would not do the same? Man only needs god when he is to weak, lazy or apathetic to discover the truth.

        Now all of you get your bibles out and quote me some scriptures how I am going to rot in hell. I would rather go to this non-existent place than be in non-existent heaven with all you hypocrites.

        PS:Ever wonder why the Catholic Church cherry picked the books to put in bible? No that would require thought on your part. See you later 90%

        Fred Jones Ex-believer

        • Fred Jones.

          Thanks for your thoughts. Now you can rest.

        • Just because man perverts the word of God, does not mean it is not true. Jesus said there would be many false prophets. Don’t stop believing because you were lied to by man. Read the words of Jesus and ask to see the truth and it will be shown to you.

        • “The number of people destroyed in the name of Christianity sickens me.”

          That number can’t hold a candle to the tens of millions of people destroyed by godless governments since 1917.

          Peddle your wares somewhere else, we’re not buying.

        • Fred Jones said, “All your Church cares about is money and more of it.”
          Fred, I’m the secretary for my church. I write all the checks. We give away 10%/mo. to charities. After that we barely have enough to keep the lights on. If all we cared about was money, we’d just keep it for ourselves, but we don’t.

          You say that people hate Christians because of “death and destruction in his name. ”
          I disagree. No war in the modern era has been fought in the name of Christ. I agree with Jesus – men hate the light because their deeds are evil.

          You say that man only needs God out of weakness. You fall way, way short – men need God for life itself. I’ve heard the old excuse, “God’s just a crutch for Christians. ” Wrong. He’s much more than a crutch, he’s my very salvation.

          One more thing – if we’re all just “delusional”, why are you so angry? I’ll tell you why – it’s because while you followed God in the past, he refused to be a Santa Claus to you. He didn’t give you everything you wanted, so now you’re going to show him, aren’t you? You’ll just refuse to believe in him. Can you see what a spoiled brat baby that makes you? Who do you think you are that you can criticize the King on his Throne?
          Grow up and get a life.

          • OK, I’d better go ahead and apologize to Fred Jones. Fred, Jesus told us to love people even if they’re hard to love. I’m sorry I took your attack so personally.

        • Fred Jones: So you’ve joined the non-believer group, which is perfectly fine, but lest you delude yourself, let’s do a refresher course on the “non-believer” group’s “murderers of innocent people” tendencies:

          Russian revolution: 9 million dead
          Stalin: 20 million dead (minimum estimated figure)
          Mao: 15-25 million dead (per China’s government’s figures)
          Hitler: 50 million dead

          ruh-roh…guess the devil likes destruction even more than Christians and Muslims, eh?

          • So that makes the Inquisition (and other christian atrocities) ok? Christians killed less people so they’re better???

            • Go read a book on the Inquisition; it was motivated by politics, not by of a true expression of Christ’s teachings. Jesus told a parable about a wheat field that was planted over with weeds, called tares, by an enemy of the field’s owner. This was a picture of “the Kingdom of Heaven” and the bottom line was that the church will always have imposters scattered among its members and God won’t sort it out until the end so as to spare His people as much trauma as possible (see Matthew 13:23 and the following verses). If someone claiming to be a Christian does things not in keeping with the teachings of Christ, it doesn’t mean that Christianity is a lie, but that a lie is being mislabeled as Christianity.

        • Just wondering what you do believe in. Evolution? Its laughably fallacious. Muslim? Nah. They kill more every year in the name of their god than Christians ever have. 6-armed blue guys? Seems illogical. Holy cats, pigs, cows, etc? Please enlighten us to the details of your religulous epiphany.

          • What’s wrong with just believing in natural life? Do we have to have “gods” of any sort?

        • to Fred Jones,
          The Word has saved me many times from despair.
          For those who lay claim to hating God and blame Him for all things bad, understand their perception of bad isnt God’s perception. Who is the disillusioned, angry mortal to question the power of God and His will? They have a blind eye and closed mind, no wonder they hate.

        • I understand your point of view.

          We were part of a “christian” church that we liked very much. The sermons were beautiful and and uplifting. The pastor was articulate, approachable and VERY likeable. The church was active in the community, had many children’s programs and encouraged participation by the congregation at every level. And then it happened. The pastor at the close of one of his energy filled and uplifting sermons thanked the congregation for buying he and his wife BRAND NEW CADILLACS. That was the moment we realized we had been duped. $90,000+ that could have gone into programs for the community, but what was even worse was that most of the congregation was apathetic to the whole thing. We never returned to that “church”.

          • A lot of people fall for the church for profit crowd. One only has to look as far as TV on Sunday mornings or the so-called Christian networks to see it.

            One thing to remember is that religion and spirituality rarely go hand in hand. Jesus and Mohammed served the same god and would shocked at the atrocities carried out in their names.

            • Mouse, the god Mohammed served is not the God and Father of Jesus. “Allah” was originally a Hebrew word. It’s even found in the Bible and is translated into English as “curse”. It’s true that both Jews and muslims descended from Abraham, but the muslims are worshiping a “curse”.

              • Correction: Jews and muslims ARE NOT descended from Abraham. Jews and Arab Palestinians are descended from Abraham. There are muslims in Russia, Indonesia and etc..

                • @Tactical – right you are. Should have said that.

          • Yep organized religion. They say give you money to the lord but they give you their address.

            • Nothing like a little Hank Jr.

        • Fred, A master’s degree in Theology is just enough to make it dangerous. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”. For an ‘educated man’ you are not doing a very good job of articulating your points. That is a problem with many of the schools today that give out diplomas to whoever can pay for them.

          The ‘Word of God’ gives life and is alive, it is a living word, and is definitely more than just a bunch of words on a piece of paper. The ‘Word’ teaches us about the depths of man’s utter depravity, and certainly it appears you are aware of this, but, it shows God’s ultimate solution to dealing with that depravity or sickness as well. Everything rests on your response to that solution.

          I think you are overblowing it when you say “everybody hates christians’. Really, what is there to hate when someone comes to you with love and good will? Why was Jesus hated? What did he do to deserve a cruel death on the cross? Why do you hate Jesus? What did Jesus do to you?

          I hope and pray that you will not take offense by the many responses to your postings. This is an opportunity for you to look really deep inside of yourself and figure out if you can become a part of the solution and not the problem. There are many wise and thoughtful people on this site and most want only to help you. There is incredible darkness out there and it will only get worse before it gets better.

          We will all be needing each other if we are to get through the coming hard times. I remember how we use to cross rapids that were impossible to cross on your own. We would together cross in a line, parallel to the river, holding on to a long pole. The strongest and the tallest person would be at the top, he would break the rush of the rapids, while the rest of us grabbing on to the pole would provide the stability and support of the pole from below. If someone slipped on a rock, they could regain a foothold while holding on to the pole. The method was effective and allowed the weaker and shorter persons to get across safely. We never lost a person on any of our river crossings.

      48. You came to that conclusion on your own. Other people still maintain their faith.

      49. Folks, If you want to do something about this kinda crap from CNN, I would recommend linking this article to your Facebook Page and asking everyone you know to start contacting their cable and satellite companies to DEMAND A BOYCOTT ON CNN…Demand they remove CNN from their channel lineup, or at least DEMAND THEY REMOVE CNN FROM your own channel lineup…even if it means giving up some other channels in the package!!!

        I have already contacted my cable provider and took action. NO CNN OR MSNBC IN MY HOUSE!!!

        I refuse to spend one penny on these communist organizations spreading DIS-INFORMATION AND LIES

        IF this were to go viral, hopefully these networks will go out of business. MSNBC too!!

        I am DONE with cable news!!!

        • I stopped watching MSM in 2008. Best thing I ever did for my family was taking cable out of the house and replacing it with a roku box, and watching programs that we only want to see. I feel that by cutting the cord, we send a message not only to the providers that the services are insanely high, but that we are done with MSM. I’m just a small voice among many but people have been slowly moving away from cable over the past few years thanks to roku and other similar boxes, where you can control what you want to see and pay for.

        • I’ve heard matt damon go way to the left too.

          • Wrong — unlike Hollywood

            you get what you see with us.

            We tend not to lean to the left
            or the right, but instead, hold
            a coarse steady as she goes.

            • …..course…..

        • I don’t know JayJay…
          Could it be that some of the roles he’s played have gone to his head…Is he Bourne again…
          After remembering some of his other “speeches” …
          I tend to think he may be controlled opposition.

          fwiw

        • I guess I don’t get it. What did he say that popped your cork?

        • Not Damon’s words… He’s reading Howard Zinn.

      50. I’m sorry that you seem to have had a bad experience with a church.

        You should visit my church. We have a budget, and you can see where the money goes. Most of it goes to charity.

        We buy coats for children every winter. We buy school supplies for a local school every year. We take our turn with all the other churches in town at the food kitchen. We give food to the food bank. We have a benevolence fund to pay electric bills and rents for people who come up short. We sent a team to help repair and rebuild after Katrina and Sandy. We are probably going to send a team to the Philippines. We have paid to have wells drilled in northern India. There are multiple teams from our church in Thailand teaching, helping the poor, and starting churches. We send Christmas boxes to kids all over the world through Samaritan’s Purse. We just had a group go to West Virginia to help people. We sent a large truck load of clothes and household goods and had a yard sale where everyone could get what they needed free.

        You should come to the south and join a good church. Join in one of the many charitable organizations and you can help others.

      51. This demon infested rock on which we live in is ready to implode. Let the wheat be winnowed and and the chaff fall by the wayside. This is a disgusting vile generation. The Lord will have his day. And that day is very near. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding rest upon your weary shoulders.

        • @In-his-name-

          WRONG ANSWER!!!

          You should’ve said:..”adorn yourselves w/ the ARMOR of GOD, ye real Christians..and prepare to fight his enemies, for the battle of GOOD vs. Evil that soon approaches..and only then, after VICTORY is achieved, may the peace of GOD rest upon us!!!!

          ..in the meantime:

          Aim small, miss small.

      52. On the so called BO deal with Iran. First Israel says it is an early Christmas present for Iran. Next it gives Iran enough time to fully develop the mass production of nuclear weapons like what happened in Pakistan. It is not about one nuke, it is about lots of nukes. It allows Iran to look like they are the good guys in the international community and Israel the bad ones. It allows sanctions to be lifted without giving up anything. Winner: Iran.

        Israel can be right or wrong, it doesn’t matter. It only matters if Israel feels that it must strike Iran and the end results for the entire world. This is the whole burrito, will Israel strike Iran during the next New Moon window or one of the following 10 day windows. Will Israel once again go after Syria like the previous New Moon window? Israel will not announce ever a planned strike. This is why everyone should continue to be on alert during each month’s New Moon for the breaking news all out war has erupted over there. The next New Moon window is Nov.27 to Dec.7. The next one is Dec.27 to Jan.6.

        One of the advantages Preppers/Survivalists should always take is to be ready for a SHTF event before it hits, and before the masses know about it and swarm the market places like locust.

        • Be Informed

          Always respect your insights..

          Here’s my geo political take on this..

          Israel will not strike anywhere or any one without U.S. approval..public or private..

          Israel is our well paid and well armed proxy in the entire middle east..

          The State dept will broker their deals with Iran and Syria as they sit fit…as there is always a hidden agenda in play.

          Obviously there was collusion amongst the players to broker a deal involving petro dollars..as most of the industrialized nations are hedging against the petro dollar as the reserve currency..and Iran,Iraq,Syria,Egypt,and Libya were all trading outside that realm of western currency…witness the destruction of Libya,Iraq,Egypt as consequence..then the sabre rattling recently against Syria..and now Iran..hmmm.

          As usual..follow the money..period.

          Syria and Iran capitulated…

          Israel is bluffing..

          I worry not about foreign entanglements but the nefarious entanglements occurring right here within our borders…

          Just my 2 cents

          possee

          • @ possee. Your opinion is worth way more than 2 cents. I have found people are way too unpreditable and trying to figure them is beyond difficult. I so much prefer trying to figure out earthquakes as geophysical follows the same patterns decades after decades. The ONLY pattern I see with Israel is that they attack others during the 10 day New Moon window.

            I just know that wars start because of money and natural resources more than anything. I linked something waiting for moderation about China and Japan on this. Syria still remains the junction point necessary for a natural gas pipeline from Qatar and Saudi Arabia to Europe, and from the south that Israel desperately wants as Israel has offshore natural gas resources. Russia of course wants to retain the natural gas monopoly to Europe for not only trillions in revenue but also for political clout over Europe. Iran is more than nuclear bombs, as they are part of this natural gas equation by supporting Syria and shipping their own natural gas to Europe customers.

            This is where the complexity comes in. It takes about 12-20 nukes to destroy Israel. That means that Iran must have double or triple that to actually destroy Israel based on the reliability on detonation and delivability of the nuclear weapon. 24 to maybe even 50 or 60. Mass production of nukes is what Israel is afraid and from Hezbollah being given the extra nukes. Hezbollah has chemical and biological weapons, to finish the triangle of death, nukes. Israel is worried about Iran becoming another Pakistan as nuclear weaspons can be produced within 24 days when these nuclear plants are fully operational.

            Forgetting about nuclear weapons. The U.S. as you say CANNOT let the petro dollar die, but it will because of OPEC countries doing what they have to secure their own financial stability and security. The U.S. dollar is a bad risk. Attacking Iraq and Libya was based on the petro dollar as you know. Iran is the foundation of the U.S. dollar being dumped, and the U.S. must find some sort of excuse to find a way of stopping iran and other countries from following suit on stopping the dumping of the U.S. dollar. Use Israel is one of these ways. Also some false flag attack of course traced back to Hezbollah and/or Iran.

            I totally agree with you over the money factor in the Middle East. I also agree that Iran wants nukes desperately. Countries that have nukes are almost immune to “regrime changes”. Case in point North Korea. If hussein had been able to produce a few nukes he would still be bottled up over there and sactioned to death like North Korea. Losing 100,000 American troops or more in a ground invasion of Iraq would never have been accepted if hussein would have had nuclear weapons. These despotic rulers are not stupid, nukes mean an ace in the hole, more like 4 aces in the hole.

            Israel doesn’t want to lose their own monopoly of nuclear weapons in the region. Iran gets more than a few nuclear weapons, and so does other countries in the region like Saudi Arabia, Epypt, Algeria, and maybe a couple of others like Syria. Nuclear weapons protects the tyrants. IF Libya didn’t give up all of its chemical wepaons, the nerve agents, qaddafi might be still contained.

            Israel and others are correct, Iran absolutely wants nuclear weapons. It makes sense. What gives other countries the right to possess nukes and other countries not? It is like the 2nd Amendment rights of the citizens to protect themselves. It would be like the government is allowed to have firearms but not the people. Same holds true with nuclear weapons as they are nothing but tools of self defense. The miserable un’s 5 permanent members of the security counsil are all the first 5 to obtain nukes. Iran and other countries that seek nuclear self defense are sanctioned to death if they back out of the nuclear deal like North Korea did, or attacked.

            Why would a country not want to have nukes to protect themselves? To me at least this is hypocritical to allow some countries to have hard core self defense and others not. It is just like the gun control, with control underlined, self defense means someone is less likely to be bullied and controlled.

            IF, and that is a big fat IF, countries and people treated others with fairness this planet would not be so f’ed up. IF people followed a simple adage, treat others how you yourself want to be treated, this world would not be going into some future wholesale die off of the human population.

              As long as we have the money masters in control, as we always have, we will always be subjugated to their wars,dirty politics,diminishing standards of living,diminishing God given rights and so on..

              It is the push back,both individually and collectively, by the likes of us worldwide, that keeps at least some of it in check…

              They may eliminate many of us worldwide as they always do..but the ideas of freedom,rights, and humanity will never die…ever!

              Witness the idea of Christianity and other religions…they have lived on for thousands of years despite all attempts to eradicate them..

              Proof enough for me..

              Let us hope that we will prevail in the long run..

                  You would have to gear it up to increase the RPMs, and you would probably have to take it to the tire shop and get it spin balanced. Even then, you would probably have to mount it to a concrete pad to hold it still.

            • @BI, Possee, I follow world events closely and I think your analysis is right on. The whole agreement with Iran is extremely worrisome and I have a bad feeling about it. Nothing good is going to come of it. War will most likely breakout soon. I also agree with the 10 day new moon window. It is another ‘word for the wise’. Thanks. These are perilous times we live in.

      53. What we seem to need is a good scapegoat before the country can recover. O.K. It’s all my fault. Can’t get health care , a job , a good woman , food , 22 LR , peace in the inner city or world-wide ,honest politicos ,cars that are cheap to maintain , television that reports on real news – It’s all my fault. I’m still not taking the fault for Obama.

        • Damn you Mike,it’s your fault I have a harder time getting .22LR,well,@ least I know now who to blame!

        • No, you probably aren’t the cause of Obama. However, there is truth in that “You can fool all of the people some of the time” and that was what was done.

          Democracy is emotionally based so what we now have is all emotional as differentiated from rational evaluation.

        You people do not believe your own theology. You bask in the glow of Jesus paying your debts, but are selfish and self-serving towards your fellow man. If a divine being can pay your debt, who are you to be so miserly towards others. Of course,, I know the reason. Your belief system is nothing more than what you use make yourself feel superior in you own eyes so you can be cruel to others and selfish with a clear conscience.

When that happens prepared or not there will be no more time to get extra no way, if you are not with your group or BOL (95%) chance you won’t get there. For the majority of us we will be on our own. My advice is be prepared for that scenario. No matter how much we prepare it will not be enough, so get the mindset that you will survive as long as possible, as for me when it looks like it is truly over they will not get anything I have left. Prepare to make your stand, and may GOD have Mercy on our Souls.

        • Got you wound up didnt it?

          • Sort of, its sad that junk pieces like this obscure the real issues of the moment. Opinion columns are great most of the time but this one is like the kardashians, just won’t go away and everyone feels they need a piece.

            • Problem is there are a bunch of idiots who follow along and take in everyone elses opinion. Theyre too lazy and dumb to know enough to make their own opinion. We were just complaining about the sheeple a few days back here. Its when you get it all churning and its said over and over again that an opinion gets drilled in. Then idiots think its the way it is. They dont question or think on their own. Theyre the ones w/ the tv on all the time letting someone else do there thinking.
              One persons opinion isnt much. The group of those w/ the same opinions when it gets loud. Before you know it, it becomes a big voice.
              Those w/ religious beliefs far outnumber athiests but who pushes and bitches the loudest?
              Same goes for the libtards. Lefty nutbags are a minority but they scream and play dirty so they get the attention. And they get so much attention we think its the absolute because its said over and over again. Thats the irony of it all. Its a sham. So dont ignore the small shit, flush it because if it collects it becomes big shit and we all know what thats like.
              Maybe its better to have bs pieces like this than some nasty Obama order to raise hell over. He will probably wait and do that on Tuesday since everyone is preoccupied with turkey and the trimmings. Me, Im going back to put the doors on the cabinet I been making this weekend.

      66. When I was a kid in the 60’s “health care” was how well we took care of ourselves. Doctor? What doctor?!! Heck, we rarely got sick and if we did Grandma would whip up her chicken soup and we would spend a day or two in bed to get over whatever we had. If we got injured on the farm most of the time we took care of it ourselves. Everything from cuts and small broken bones were no big deal. I went to the doctor twice when I was a kid, once when I broke my right arm and another time when my right hand was smashed between a truck and a barn during hay baling season. Whoop tee do! We didn’t have health insurance! We paid as we went and it didn’t cost us an arm and a leg. The government has destroyed the health care system for the past 50 years by regulating it to death and now has driven the final railroad spike into it’s heart. The U.S. is doomed under ObaMao and his democommies and RINO’s! Lock and Load people! It’s coming soon!

        • I remember back in the 1960s I was in the doctor’s office for a physical. While I was waiting, an older woman came in with a cut finger and wanted to see the doctor immediately. The old doctor came out, looked at her finger, and asked “Don’t you have a cut doctor?” Then he sent her away.

      67. Perhaps we a missing the forest because of the trees. I think they want to ultimately institute a Church tax or something like it. Look it up. They will be passing two plates around at the end of it all. But they have to create the problem in order to solve it with taxation. Do not be diverted, we are up against magnificent manipulators. I mean the Elite, not the Church. Read these comments and see how it works. Turn em on each other. Religion works good for that and they have known it for a long time. They play religion like a fiddle when it suits their needs, especially for war. And in the present war for gold to send east, they know some hides under steeples. Pay to pray will be just a side benefit. Soon to come, beg to breathe.

      68. Bi and some others feel free to chime in.

        I’ve just started prepping about 6 months ago. I can’t explain it but issues and ideas I thought were just crazy prepper talk years ago ( ie 9/11, Oklahoma City just to name a few), now seem crystal clear to me. (Slow learner I guess), but I have been insatiably reading about preparing for when the grid goes down. I’m not jumping in every direction and throwing money around like your typical new prepper. I’m taking the time to read blogs but also listen to insightful people such as bi and others.
        My question for all of you is this. I had generac salesman knows on door yesterday and decided to listen to his pitch. He said the generac generator would run on natural gas. I told him I’m interested in power after a power outage but what good will natural gas be to me when the pumping stations go down when tshtf? He looked at me like I was nuts. He said what are you one of those crazy preppers? The natural gas companies have people working during emergencies like hurricanes. I explained that is all fine and good but in a few weeks or months who is gonna show up to work at a pumping station to ensure natural gas is getting to homes? Is picking up the biggest generator I can afford my best bet? I’m in a suburb of houston. Also can anyone recommend a reputable company that sells mre’s? Sorry my questions are pretty generic and basic but I don’t want to call prepper places and talk to salesman who will tell me I need to spend thousands of dollars on stuff I really don’t need. I would rather talk to real preppers and from what I’ve read you people are the freak deal.
        Thank you
        Steve

        • I can’t speak to the generator issue, but many here can. I know some have propane genny with tanks and have already learned to ration use and how many hours/days/weeks even years they get from genny and stored propane. If you don’t get your answer in this thread post early on a future thread to get seen.

          Welcome to prepping. I was with work friends today, and they were talking about looking for houses, etc. when they were talking about location, they mentioned a nice area that looks countryish, but in reality the houses are close together ans the area is less than 10 minutes from grocery store. They claim it was more like 20…. They said they would never build a house there because they go to the grocery store every day. She has a two month old btw. I was astounded. She just replied they don’t know what they want to eat from day to day and menu planning was a waste of time. I shared that we have 6-8 meals we like, and always make sure the ingredients are in the house. With spices and other goods we can make different recipes, etc. if we want something special or different, then we make a trip. I just don’t get it.

        • @Son of Liberty-

          Tis better to wake up late from the nap than never at all. As far as Nat gas generators (Generac)and the like, it is always best to equate your longtime energy needs to modern day recent examples like the Hurricane Sandy aftermath and such. You can also state you have a mother-in law, etc. that has medical needs so power down is not an option. People laughed at Noah when he wanted to build the Ark, except they weren’t laughing when they were pounding on the door in the rain.

          Also true that when SHTF 100% you may not have that flow of natural gas to run said generator. I prefer the solar charge controller/inverter and deep cycle battery myself coupled with a PMA alternator for wind or pedal energy generation. Those are power sources that are silent, non-polluting, non dangerous and best of all…the gov cannot shut them off.

          A gasoline powered genset will be loud, will need oil and gas and will only draw attention…not something you want. Just my .002 cents and nothing more. Welcome aboard and strap yourself in…the next couple of years may be getting quite bumpy.

        • I’ve had all types of generators over the years. You don’t need the biggest you can afford and you probably don’t want natural gas. What do you want to power and for how long? If tshtf, do you want it to be portable, or will it stay in one place like a built in whole house backup? Small ultra quiet, lister running on waste oil, or big diesel to run the whole subdivision?? (At least you’d have allies).

          My most recent addition has been a propane conversion for one of the generators. And I bought a 500 gal. tank with a valve to fill smaller tanks. Propane never goes bad and it will also be used for heat and cooking. I’ve got about 200 hours on the conversion and it works on any carburated engine so I can move it to another when this one dies.

          Give us a little more info and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

          • www dot smokstak dot com is a great resource for all things internal combustion. The propane conversion kit sounds great to really open up options for power generation especially when used with portable or made to be portable units. Onan has/had a tri-fuel setup for the carburetor setups that looks neat but have heard it can be problematic.

        • Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to power generation. Most people never think of an APU for a big rig as a semi portable way to generate power as well as heat and air conditioning for a small space. The same applies to reefer units. the reefer unit uses a small diesel/multifuel engine that has an alternator to charge batteries and can heat as well as cool a much larger area but it is not as portable and would require being mounted to a wall. A “take out” generator from a RV is a nice compromise as multiple fuel types are available and the smaller units can be mounted to a wagon or cart and made quite portable. The smallest diesel unit I’ve personally seen is 6.5kw. Diesel motor offer the advantage in that they are capable of running multiple types of fuel with minimum modification. For example, that small diesel can use on and off road diesel, used motor oil, biodiesel, used fryer oil and veggie oil just name a few. Take a look at www dot smokstak dot com in the generator sections to get some ideas. Remember your OPSEC!

        • Son of Liberty.

          Start simple, but buy something of value each month. If you need a generator, then just keep looking until you find the one that fits your needs. But here is a list to think about.

          1. Water (filters, able to boil)
          2. Food (10cans, canned goods, freeze dried, etc)
          3. Garden (have one)
          4. Seeds (heirloom)
          5. Solar powered stuff (lights, flashlite)
          6. Spices and some (much) TP
          7. Cash on hand for immediate purchases if bank holiday
          8. PMs such as silver coins to barter or make a purchase
          9. Knowledge of food in wild and from agriculture in area
          10. Cooking stuff like a small wood stove

          If you start with the above 10, it will take you over a year on a month-by-month basis. Once done, you will know where to go from there.

          Above all, trust the Lord and pray.

          Good luck and get going.

        • Others can answer your questions on the generator. I’d like to give you some advice about your near-telling your door-to-door salesman that you’re a prepper.

          He’s going door-to-door, in your neighborhood, and likely looking to make idle conversation as he sells his wares. How many of your neighbors do you think he told you’re a crazy prepper, and how many do you think may now coming begging or attacking your home when their families are starving?

          Do not tell ANYONE local, other than like-minded neighbors, that you’re a prepper.

          ~GV

          • p.s. Son of Liberty > make your own MREs.
            Way cheaper and you can store exactly what you like.

        • Hi Sons, just a couple of things for you. For one, mre’s are full of chemical crap and expensive too boot. You need a very cool place to store them if you want any decent shelf life. I would reccommend dehydrated or freeze dried foods and a supply of water. As far as a generator honda is the best in my opinion. As far as fuel propane works well in any temprature and never goes bad, look on craigslist for a used tank (at least 100 gallon to 500 gallon). Another thing you can do if you have enough paper satans is to buy an inverter with a built in charger and a battery bank (never buy trojan batteries). This will allow you to cut your generator run time significantly depending on the size of your bank. As you run the gen the excess power will charge the batteries and when they reach full charge shut off the gen and run your home off the batteries and inverter. Another good thing about this system is you can add solar panels one at a time with a charge controller to charge your batteries even faster. Given the fact thet this won’t be a daily thing you could use less expensive 6 volt golf cart batteries since it is for backup only. I highly reccommend US Battery I had a set of 6 volt 220ah last 7 years! Avoid trojan and interstate I have seen a lot of problems with them. I have 15 years experience in solar power and an SEI certified and have done it professionally so I know what Im talking about. I have designed and built 2 off grid homes for myself so if you have any questions just ask I will be glad to help. Good luck and welcom to prepping 🙂

          • One more thing, do not get a magnasine inverter! Of the 4 that are in use in my area 3 have gone bad and one of those went bad 3 times! You won’t see those comments on dealers sites because the warranty is dealt with by the manufacturer bypassing the dealer. A pure sinewave inverter is best especially if you want computer or tv or radio. Outback makes good inverters (never had a problem).

        • Son of Liberty,

          Welcome to prepping and enjoy the journey.

          My take on generators is that they are great and useful for a power outage up to possibly a month when society is still intact, but should not be part of your long term solution SHTF preps.

          In a short term scenario like above, using your generator will seem normal to the still fed society around you. If there is a collapse of either the grid or economic system where it is going to be years before life returns to normal and neighbor’s pantry’s have run out of the 7 day food supply (if they are lucky they even have that much!) and they hear a generator…guess where they are going to come looking for charity.

          Within days after a grid down collapse, people will be for the most part out of gas and running a generator at any time from that day forward will tell people that you have something they may want.

          I agree with whomever it was about you mentioning SHTF scenario to the generator salesman. He now knows where someone is prepped and stocked up. Make sure that you tell no one of your preps unless they are part of your plan for survival in a post SHTF society.

          readynutrition dot com has a “52 weeks to preparedness” that would be very helpful.

          God Bless,

      69. Damn auto correct. I meant you people are the real deal. Not freak deal. Ugh

        • SOL,you can have a tank on property say 500/1000 lb.,unlike say gas/diesel will not unless leaking go bad over say 10 year period,whatever that is worth to ya’s info. wise.Live and enjoy today/prep for tomorrow.

      70. If you want blood , you got it
        It’s animal living in a human zoo
        Feeling like a Christian locked in a cage , thrown to the lions on the second page

        • VRF,quoting AC/DC Highway To Hell album!Been there,almost married Julie!

      71. This is all just a bunch of BS. Why all the sudden are Christians to blame for everything? It’s sickens me and frightens me. We as a people are taking God out of our lives either in the form of not being able to say merry Christmas or say in God we trust any more. I truely think the break down of family and absent of Gid in home and schools is to blame for a lot of problems with today’s population.

        In a side note I was forced to have a flu shot through my work. I didn’t want it but if I did not obtain a flu shot I would have lost my job. Long story short I have never had the flu prior to this and felt no need to obtain a flu shot but again was forced into it. I just want to add that I had the flu shot in my left deltoid area and 2 weeks latter started having pain in my left arm for no reason. It’s been a month and still am having pain in my arm, elbow and shoulder. I have lost at least 50 % of muscle tone in my arm. For example I finally was able to go tongue gym after most of the pain had subsided and I was not even able to lift a 20 lbs weight with my left arm. What is in those flu shots? Again before the flu shot I had no pain in my shoulder/ armband did nothing to injure it. They can’t be good for you. They can’t be.

        • That sounds like the reactions I used to have to thimerisol (sp?) preserved shots only much worse. You might want to check out chelation therapy geared toward mercury elimination and see if that doesn’t help.

      72. We are living in dark times again.

        Americans are stuck in a ‘black’ hole in where absolutely no ‘Light’ can escape.

        We are ignoring the ‘worldly’ issues that will affect us dearly. But we are too busy chasing after the wind, just running too and fro. Worrying about bills, finances, pensions, health, etc.

        Pretty soon, our only worry will be just survival.

        • Ugly,we are living in challenging times,which is why folks like us here on forum need to step up and to best of ones ability meet the challenges,we all have different strengths and weaknesses but with a little effort can all bring something to the table.I refuse to live in a world were there is only survival to think about,want a world and willing to work/fight for a world were there is hope and happiness,otherwise,what is the point of surviving.I believe long term the best thing I can do towards that goal besides giving to a few charities is take a EMT course and have a better understanding about how to help folks when injured,have put it off many times due to cost but am realizing the cost of not doing something of this nature costs more if I want a better world and want to contribute toward a better world,there is light out there Ugly,we just sometimes need to look for it.

          • Warchild.

            What we want and what we get are two different things. I am with you in that I hope people work together and survive an economic collapse.

            But.

            I feel the mad max might be more accurate. Look at this week alone. The Senate lowered the Republican powers on filibuster. Also, a deal with Iran on nukes that has Israel on edge.

            Things are happening fast and the signs show that it could be a serious event(s) worldwide.

            Yes, help your fellow man.

            But also, get ready for what could be ‘Armaggedon-type’ times.

            The Earth is about to shake and shake very hard. Good luck.

            • War is banker and gov profit(especially with legal inside trading for them). I expect one soon. Maybe china-japan, israel-iran, india-pakisatan. Martial law would give the war machine and abc gov huge profits.

      73. Luke 22:35-36. These days are coming.

      74. Mac:

        All 5 of my comments have vanished from moderation including one wishing Sixpack happy thanksgiving. Am I to understand that I have been banned from shtf?

        • POG-I have one waiting for moderation from this morning myself and it was not something that should be censored. Maybe Mac is taking some time off today.

          • I honestly believe comment apply can take up to 24 hours.That said,care what folks have to say thus will live with it,on a side note happy to be a moderator Mac!OK,back to reality would like a more chat time forum style but as they say,you don’t like the show change the channel!

        • Why worry about it? Is this website all you have in life?

        • Let’s hope so because you enjoy attacking people too much !

      75. Maudy has risen, from her afternoon nap. No one is safe. I used to say that this civilization can not survive without X, or that civilization couldn’t survive without Y, we must embrace Z or we are doomed. Actually, no civilization has ever survived. They all eventually collapse. I’m going back to sleep.

        • Eh,or we arise from the ashes of our self immolation like the mighty phoenix,that is the goal I am working for!

      76. Morality is out, democracy (voting) is in.

      77. I love seeing the number of committed Christians on this site. It makes me wonder if preppers consist of a higher percentage of Christians than the general population.

        It wouldn’t surprise me. Christians are the “Sighted” among the blind, and preppers obviously have more “vision” than the average American.

        • Silver,prep and willing to help others but do not consider myself a “Christian”,actually subscribe to no religion beyond take the best from each and leave the rest behind,with many religions that makes one a heretic/evil ect.,have no time for that.That said,will not use anothers religious beliefs to make or break my relationship with them,it is how they act and live as individuals that will determine whether I can get along with them or not.

          • Warchild, the very thing about Jesus is that how we act and live does not determine our standing with him. The single criterion is whether one believes that his death was enough to satisfy the debt of sin we owe. I hope you believe that one simple thing.

            • Silver,I do not,that said,will fight like a bandit/rabid weasel to defend your religious views as long as you do not push them on me.Pushed into a corner guess nature is my god,some kinda of Nordic/Maori catch,live by that lifestyle anyhow!

            • Thats the falsehood many have fallen for today. IE: Say the “Jesus” Prayer and once saved always saved.

              If that were true then why does the biblical verses state that the book of life will be checked to see if Your name has been Blotted OUT?

              And who do you think it speaks of in the verses that say, paraphraseing here, “Then the Lord will say to Them Depart from Me”….And “they” shall reply “But Lord Lord! We cast out demons in Your name! Fed the poor hungry in Your name! Got folks saved in Your name!”, “Healed the Sick in Your name Lord!”

              And again They shall hear the Lord tell Them “Depart from Me You wicked workers of Inequity(sin/wrongs)” and They shall occupy Their part in the lake of Fire along with the rest there!

              Thats Christians who “Thought” they were once saved always saved…I think that James verse also applies as well that states “Faith without Works is dead faith” or somewhat close to that.

              What christians do, how they act and live has EVERYTHING to do with salvation. Otherwise no such verse stateing “Check to see if Their names wre Blotted Out of the book of Life” would be in the bible.

              Perhaps that “Depart from Me You wicked workers of inequity aka sin and wrongs” has something to do with the many christians who believe in falshoods taught to bless jews as no such bible verse exists. And new testement book of Galations verifies that abrahamic blessing and to his “seed” also, applies to CHRIST Is that “Seed” and all who are true Christ believers Are who will recieve those God Promiced Blessings first spoken To Abraham…

              A good place to begin to RE-Think falsehoods like that as taught by so many pastors today is to first comprehend that, Abraham-Moses-Jacob-Issac-and Many others were NOT “jews”, were never Jewish, and the very word “jew” is Not even written untill aprox 500 pages After Page One of Genisis! First time “jew” as a word is wrote is 2nd book of Kings, chapter 16, vs 12(if I recall correctly).

              Also the two words “jew” and “israel” are NOT interchangeable nor do they mean the same thing. A little research at several exallant websites will verify that and Much, Much More about the many falshoods many christians were taught and falsely believe today.

              • Dude you are not a Theologian. You are so filled with hate that Christ could not possibly reside within you or condone your angry temperment. Pray for forgiveness. Try to be happy. You need help son. You need help.

        • Funny.

          Not One Harie Krishna.

        • I’d say the prepper community probably reflects most of the demographics of the USA, possibly a little more skewed toward white and Protestant Christian than not simply because we’ve been on the alert regarding the economy and cultural shift for decades now. That said, I’ve seen commenters from all walks of life yet how many who comment really prep? How many of them are for real and not playing games or using this as a vanity press to a captive audience? How many truly prep and how many waste s much time here they get nothing done at all? Like the question of how many licks it takes to reach the center of a tootsie pop… the world may never know.

      78. And, if you’re an agnostic, benefit/welfare-scrounging minority who has done nothing but leach off the hard work of others (Bible-thumping, 1611/KJV-only Christians, namely), it’s your fault that a volley of bullets will blow your comrades’ guts out all over the pavement – and your fault that their riddled corpses will be left for your fellow scavengers in-spirit:

        Crows, vultures, buzzards, et. al.

        Shut your holes, pinkos (‘fore we finally decide to haul-off and stuff you in one)!

        • Uzz ,I refuse to become one of the slayers,will live by the lyrics of this song:
          “Jack Frost And The Hooded Crow”

          Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
          while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
          Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
          to warm their bones at Christmas time?
          Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

          Now as the last broad oak leaf falls, we beg: consider this:
          there’s some who have no coin to save for turkey, wine or gifts.
          No children’s laughter round the fire, no family left to know.
          So lend a warm and a helping hand:
          say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.
          As holly pricks and ivy clings, your fate is none too clear.
          The Lord may find you wanting, let your good fortune disappear.
          All homely comforts blown away and all that’s left to show
          is to share your joy at Christmas time
          with Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

          Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
          while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
          Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame

        • Being a Christian don’t guarantee you a good person any more than pinning on a badge makes a LEO a good person. And being a agnostic or a nostic doesn’t make you a bad person. I not a Christian. I have no use for organized religion. I don’t accept the claim that Jesus died for everyones sins. That seems to me to be something for nothing? Nope Ill countniue to believe in Karma and reincarnation. Im not a leech or parasite. Ive never had any health insurance and that my choice. Ill never buy any health insurance. Im healthy and donr need or want any stinking insurance. My home and everything else is paid for not a penny of insurance. only insurance we have is liability on my paid for vehicles.

      79. Again,good news,though second time not a kill shot(save taxpayers money).I do not know the citizens taking these shots and others but would be more then willing to contribute to their target practice fund.They are doing good but perhaps with practice4 better shots,still they set a great example for the rest of us,sometimes the trigger is the only choice! http://www.fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/suspects-family-angry-at-good-samaritan-police/66419

        let us hope so
        let us hope so…..

      81. Mr. Blake apparently does not have the intellectual honesty to have read Dr. Arthur C. Brooks book, Who Really Cares, which puts facts behind the fact that is it conservatives and Christians who do the bulk of the heavy lifting with compassion. In fact, my brother’s home borders the town where the tornadoes hit last week, and he took several days of PERSONAL holiday time to go help. Not that Mr. Blake would have the journalistic integrity to do a piece on that – or the money my wife and I spent with AFTER tax dollars putting a half black, half Mexican young fellow through his certified nursing assistant prog. Ah well. the leftist media. One of the most vile and dishonest entities our there today.

      82. So… when are Blake’s heroes, the Learjet leftists and Hollywierd limousine liberals, going to open up just ONE room in just ONE of their zillion room mansions to just ONE of the 48 MILLION Obama has on food stamps?

        Thought so.

      83. Finally, there are a number of Christian private insurers you can sigh up for right now, and avoid ObunglerCare. Samaritan is one, Christian Healthcare Ministries is another; there are more. Not that Mr. Blake took the time to learn about this. Heck, this IS CNN, the Close eNough for GoverNment work channel…

      86. Garbage like this is why CNN is losing viewers and money. Last I heard, they’re getting ready to throw in the towel on news and are just looking to create more scumbag “reality” TV shows.

      87. Something is up with the crustal plates. Had three differe3nt precursor earthquakes and they point to much more specific targets.

        Triple Junction quake points to Japan many times, the northeast section of the Australian plate from east Indonesia to Samoa, India, and Mexico. That’s it. Especially Japan though.

        Mid Indian Ridge points to California and Alaska, that is all.

        Brand new earthquake zone in eastern Russia that started shaking with 4.5+ only 3 years ago. This area points to Alaska big time, India, west Indonesia to New Guinea, Chile, New Zealand, AND Japan again. This exact spot went off 5 days before the 9.0 hit Japan 2 years ago.

        Three areas the tell the same danger spots.

        West Coast from 20 degrees north in Mexico to 40 degrees north in California.

        All of the coastline of Alaksa to the Bering Sea.

        All of Japan.

        Taiwan to Indonesia to New Guinea, About the Soloman Islands to Samoa to include New Zealand and Kermadec Islands.

        India and west China.

        Much energy is still coming from North Chile to Ecuador.

        It still seems to be coming from Japan and Alaska including the Aleutian Islands, especially the Andreanof Isalnds and Fox Islands. The earthquake in the new eastern Russia area brings swarms of major earthquakes every single time. Watch these areas, there is a high chance of one or more of these areas getting whacked within 15 days, or by Dec.9.

        • If you love Jesus, how can you hate His Bride? Being with other believers is not a matter of salvation, but of fellowship, nurture and having a place where you can be a part of giving and receiving both. Jesus said that He is present where 2 or 3 gather in His name.

      93. Bank Run coming?

        What does he know?

        Global regulators need more policy tools to counter the risk of devastating bank runs and should have powers over a wide array of market participants, U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Dan Tarullo said on Friday.

        “There is a need to supplement prudential bank regulation with a third set of policy options in the form of regulatory tools that can be applied on a market-wide basis,” Tarullo said at a conference on shadow banking.

        He also detailed the Fed’s plans to write new rules that would make it less attractive for banks to raise cash in short-term wholesale funding markets, a key factor in the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

        • Gen. James Mattis is the one that really concerns me. The purge is on. Now if these guys get together…..

        • VRF:

          Your list is certainly a wakeup call for all of us. Couple that with the “nuclear option” passed through the senate and we are going to go for a real ride.

          Imagine the czars already appointed by 0 and now he will have a total free rein for all fed judges, et.al.

          Sounds like a remake of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia; heaven help us. Preppers and constitution loving Americans will not fare well. Pray and Prep.

      95. @ Satori. I would not be concerned so much about the 10 volcanoes because of the size of them. Just by pure chance you can have VEI (volcanic explosive index) of 3 all over the place. Let there be 10 volcanoes with much more force and then LOOK OUT. The Scotia plate is what is really giving off signs of bad times coming. Had another 7 pointer down there on a different section of it above the Scotia Sea, south of the Falkland Islands.

        This doesn’t mean that the Scotia plate is going to unleash some whooper, it is too tiny for this. This is a symptom of something much worse that is going on. Mainly it shows that the South American and African plates are in major flux right now. This one to the north on the Scotia plate proves that it is not the Antarctica plate on the move, that would be a nightmare for all plates bordering it. The African plate affects the Austrailian plate and the South American plate affects the Nazca, Caribbean, Cocos and Pacific plate.

        As you can see this showing the above locations given for danger areas in the other comment, is primed big time. The Caribbean plate affects the New Madrid. More likely though those oarfish knew something off of California and the west coast up to Alaska. The Scotia plate is like the San Andreas and moves side to side on a horizontal plane, other than the far eastern section of it. This shows that the plates adjacent to it are on the move. The South American and African, and that means a lot of increased tension to the plates that border these two plates.

        • Thanks BI! You know seems to me that there is too many coincidental occurrences coming at us right now,not to have something emerge. Volcanoes, Earthquakes Meteors. besides all the man made ones to have a happy ending!! Keep your eyes to the sky,and your feet on the ground,as most of our feelings are visions of something to come. I am still leaning towards a geophysical event coming from Mother Earth ,or God to take care of the evil in the world!

          Thinker

      96. And besides all of that – in my church at least – if a member of the congregation, or someone connected to us, gets sick, we often vote to assist them with cash. When I had mono, they gave me a large check (about 1/4 of a month’s salary) to help out.

      97. @ Thinker and GV. People will not see the seriousness of what has happened down north of the Antarctica. Strike slip faults are a harbinger of much more plate movement because they are moving like bumper cars. The Scotia plate is tiny, but the other plates that surround it are massive, that is what is to be concerned over. Thrust faults are on a much more vertical direction of movement and why I don’t use these as precursors to new earthquakes.

        I wonder if Mac is going to have an article about the so called Iranian deal that Israel says is the worst historic agreement ever. I wonder if the trolls and pro BO conformists are going to be hailing their God BO and frankenstein kerry as peace makers. Of course totally ignorant to what has really happened to the stability of the world in the past 24 hours. There is so much coming down, and the masses are totally unaware of this and playing wrap the strings around the tree and sing and dance because the stock market is going to a new high and BO care is getting more people to sign up. Everything in lollipop land is so gleeful.

      98. For future trolls and pro BO space cadets that think that Iran nuclear deal is peace for all. Here is a little video titled “Iran Facts” that you should watch before getting on your knees in front of your savior and giving praise to your beast.

      100. The stock market is also very deceptive. Record highs they tell us. The market finally returned to where it was back in 2001. That’s better than a sharp stick in the eye, I guess. But it’s not even adjusted for inflation. Then keep in mind that the interest rates are kept artificially low, so there isn’t really any other place for investers to put there money. And keep in mind that the market is propped up by the Fed. Considering all that, the market doesn’t look so good after all. It’s musical chairs and the big guys are the only ones who know ahead of time when the music will stop.

      101. If I use “there” instead of “their” again, I’m gonna scream.

      102. Dear VRF,
        Great research on those last two posts. I wanted to draw you (and everybody’s) attention to the list of those purged/relieved of command. The lion’s share are Navy with some Air Force and other branches as well.
        The deliberate weakening is a combination thrust upon our force projection (Navy) and first response (Navy and Air Force). An earlier report surfaced that the Navy has been reduced by its fleet size to levels prior to World War I.
        The tie ins are astounding. Did you know that there were no less than 3 reported fly-bys by Tupolev (Backfire) bombers on the Atlantic last year? We no longer even scramble fighters when this occurs. Same thing in Alaska: the amount of missile defense units and fighter/interceptor capabilities taken into the red.
        Most alarming was the March 2013 mothballing of the TARS (it was an aerial tethered ballon sytem to complement NORAD’s EW system for missile defense. The TARS was used along our southern border with Mexico.
        Last year several Soviet (I’m sorry, Russian) subs were detected in the Gulf of Mexico. All they have to do is pop one of those babies out and the ocean is the launching pad. Ties in with the unidentified sub off the coast of California in 2009 and the missile test they tried to pass off as some kind of jet engine contrail from a commercial flight.
        As someone with considerable experience, the base of the photographs clearly shows vapor expansion that accompanies a seaborne launch.

        My friends, all of these things bode no good for our country. I advise (no, I ask) everyone to become proficient with the creation of Faraday cages and protective screening for all of your sensitive items (NVG’s, survey meters, scopes, generators, etc.), and employ them. Download Cresson Kearney’s book on Nuclear War Survival Skills.
        Plan, prepare, train in teams, and continue to pass on good and worthy information as you’re all doing here, now. Also, my thanks to MikeinVA, Warchild, and Silver Star for their kind comments on my first post last week.
        Keep up the good fight my beloved countrymen.
        Long Live the Republic.
        Snake

      103. PS: For your vehicles (if they are post ’78 with electronic components) you can create a grounding wire that will help protect from EMP. I use a chain (1/8″ link), about 9′ in length. Wrap it and secure it around the axle of the vehicle, securing the links (I use a breakaway link). The excess thread out and coil on the ground. Earth is best, but macadam will work. It follows the principle that 18-wheelers use regarding grounding wires that drag and make contact with the earth.
        The chain method works for when you park (I don’t advise dragging it around or it may snag on something). For the car in motion, you can add a wire/cable of spliced steel or aluminum to maintain ground contact; however, you will need to replace this periodically due to wear.
        The EMP will then be rerouted to the frame of the vehicle where it can pass through the chain or wire to the ground. I have both (chain and wire) and placed eyelet screws into the bumper. I use aluminum D-rings to lift up and secure the chain when I’m driving, and then just unclip and coil when I’m done for the day.
        All said, it’s not an expensive setup and as the old saying runs, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
        Have a good day, and “may the odds be ever in your favor!”
        Snake

      104. Thank you snake. Valuable info. Will pass this on to my main man, immediately.

      105. @ Son of Liberty. Sorry I didn’t see your question. When there are so many comments sometimes I just don’t see something posted. I have found that with any generator the less fuel consumption the better. I think something in the 2500-4000 watt is good, along with a smaller type generator for the small appliances. The inverter type of generator are expensive but they use far less fuel because they are SMART. They power down for the actual power consumption. A standard generator basically runs at the same speed all the time regardless of what is being plugged in or used.

        A dual fuel use generator is also expensive but will run on propane and gasoline. I say something once mentioned that after SHTF there are going to be a lot of backyard propane tanks abandoned by their owners that are either dead or somewhere else. These would probably have at least some propanne in them.

        I forgot whom said this, but someone has the brilliant idea of covering up their generator with an old dog house and being partially buried in an open hole. This would reduce the noise of such a generator a whole lot. This site sure comes up with good ideas.

        With preparation, the absolute first item is water, People die quick without water. You can store up a lot of water in those cases of bottled water and it can be stacked neatly in a corner. There are many large plastic trash cans that will hold water also. You can empty them after a few weeks and refill them with more water. I have seen people fill up ice coolers with water and then use the drain plug to rotate the water after a certain amount of time. With a decent water filter, catching rainfall with those large plastic tarps can collect a lot of water, hundreds of gallons.

        Self defense, can’t emphanize this enough as lawlessness brings out the absolute worst in bad people. Those science fiction movies like “The Postman” are not too far from being accurate

        The best thing I tell anyone starting preparation is to go with canned goods as they remain fresh for years and they are cheaper than the long term food storage options. Using those tough fruit boxes at the grocery store you can stack many cans of food. Look for specials each week at the supermarket and try to use coupons that save much money.

        Don’t forget sanitation. Lots of plastic garbage bags, paper towels, anti-bacterial soap, bleach, toilet paper, etc. Not being able to wash yourself and other items will be a real issue. Disease will kill more people than anything after the first wave of people drop over from dehydration. Basically just think about what you use everyday and can’t live without. Buy excess of this, and don’t stop because after the nightmare begins there will likely be no way to replenish much of this. Think of what you would need if you were thrown into the wilderness, and I mean everything. Then stock up on that as much as extra money you can spare. Preparedness will one day pay off in magnitudes for you, even with lightweight emergencies. It gives you an excellent feeling of security.

      106. It is all controlled measured means to implement the Mark of the Beast on the masses.When the SHTF China will side with Iran for a balance of power in the middle east.

        Once again a comment to Redneck has went into moderation and has now disappeared.

        Do you deem it ok for Redneck to call me Tranny, themguys themgays, and tactical testicle and I not post my retort back to trashy Redneck.

        Is all posts in moderation; or is just certain people on your moderation list?

        I see no problem when Braveheart and/or others take offense to someones post that their comments are not held in moderation. There are comments 100 percent more offensive than mine that seems to have no problem being posted.

        Just would like to know what your rules are so I will know what to expect; rather than just have a post disappear.

      108. Throughout our countries history look how many christian churches were some of the only places poor people could get help for food, clothing, shelter and doctor care but now the NWO has to rewrite history and that means demonizing the Christian church and if you notice the MSM never blames Islam for anything and in fact they are starting to try and say that Sharia law is a lot like constitutional law. They also try to portray the South as something it is not. They fail to point out that the south is populated by an enormous amount of people who left the North for more freedom!
