What is your TEOTWAWKI?

What is your TEOTWAWKI?

The End Of The World As We Know It.

It DOES NOT MEAN the end of the world. This is why we prep. The threats that we face are many. As preppers we want to survive Teotwawki. The collapse events vary in degree, but your preparedness plan should prepare for the worst.

Whether fantasy, or reality, we all have “collapse events” that we prepare for. Those who are not preppers still have their…

CPR Training For Everyone: Why It Is Important

CPR Training For Everyone: Why It Is Important

Anyone who watches TV probably understands the basic concept of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR — but what do you really know about it beyond the hype? Is there more to it than just kneeling beside someone on the ground and beating on their chest? Proper application of this life-saving technique could literally be the difference between life and death for someone you love.

Each year,…

What to Expect From an Economic Collapse

What to Expect From an Economic Collapse

One of the biggest potential catastrophes that face us today is the potential for a financial collapse. With the national debt now topping 18 trillion dollars and government spending out of control, there’s no wonder that many preppers are watching the financial pages every day, wondering when the end will come.

But I wonder if most of us have a realistic idea of what an economic collapse will…

Did you hear about the black man in Baltimore that was killed, while in police custody?

1. Freddie Gray, who had 80% of his spine severed at his neck? No. the other one.

2. You mean Trayvon Scott, who in February died in a police holding cell without any explanation? No. the other one.

3. You mean Tyrone West, who despite never committing a crime, was beaten to death in an abandoned lot last year, and Baltimore refused to release the autopsy? No. the other one.

4. You mean George King, who was tased 5 times in 10 minutes while laying in a hospital bed, suffering from meningitis? No. the other one.

5. You mean Anthony Anderson, whose death was determined a homicide by the state’s medical examiner after being brutally beaten by police?

NO. the Other one.

We must disband the police: Body cameras aren’t enough — only radical change will stop cops who kill by George Ciccariello-Maher | Salon

After Michael Slager gunned down Walter Scott in a North Charleston park, a deafening chorus of voices has emerged, insisting that “the system worked.” And they are right. The system did work, just not in the way that they mean.

The system didn’t only begin to work when the video of the shooting emerged days later: it went into motion immediately. The system began to work when Slager cuffed a dying man and then ran (ran!) back to grab his alibi, the Taser he would then plant near Scott’s failing body (as some have noticed, Slager did so in an eminently practiced way).

The machinery continued to whirr smoothly as the second officer on the scene—Clarence Habersham, who is Black—ignored the planted evidence, raised no questions, and did not administer CPR. Habersham insisted that he immediately applied pressure to Scott’s wounds, but recently synched audio suggests that he was instead counting the bullet holes in a still-dying man. Multiracial policing, after all, is still just policing.

The broader structures of the system began to work immediately, doing what they are designed to do: the North Charleston Police Department immediately parroted Slager’s account in an effort to preemptively exonerate him, calling the killing a “traffic stop gone wrong” and “unfortunate and difficult for everyone.” The media—an essential internal component if the system if ever there was one—immediately ate up a story so thoroughly predigested as to not raise any eyebrows. The police, after all, are to be believed.

Among those who believe that the system works—because they too are an essential partof that system—are groups like Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, whose local representative quickly insisted, “I don’t want to see another Ferguson.” A pitiful and cowering, mealy-mouthed politics motivated not so much by fear of the police as fear of the streets, where they have been outpaced and rendered irrelevant.

The system purred along smoothly when a superior officer briefly interviewed Slager, only to make it clear that he had nothing at all to worry about: “they’re not gonna ask you any kind of questions right now.” The system worked in the sense that it performed the function it was designed to perform: to kill Black people and either justify it, cover it up, or both. This is the system, this has always been the system, and yes: the system worked.

Every system has a glitch, however, and in this case, that glitch was named Feidin Santana. Not only did Santana courageously capture the murder of Walter Scott on video, but he—crucially and revealingly—released the video not to the police, but to Scott’s family. Santana’s immediate orientation toward the police was one of distrust and fear: he knew better than to trust the police with evidence, and he feared for his personal safety. He was justified on both counts.

Holocaust remembrance day is on April 15th. Please take a moment of silence at some point of your day to remember all those that lost their lives during that tragic time period that schools don’t talk about as much as they use to.

I’m a grandchild of two Auschwitz survivors. This is personal, please remember my family.

Truck House!

I spent the summer building this with my dad.

I love you dad, thank you for all that you have taught me. You are truly one of my best friends. You make dreams realities. I hope that is an inheritable trait.

Gotta take issue with Noir's post; the wage gap has been repeatedly confirmed by independent studies. It's getting better, apparently, but it did and still does exist.

No. The “wage gap” has been shot down by everyone from pay scale.com to the American Association of University Women. A gap, when it existrs, is at the highest levels of education and pay (I.e. when we start talking hundreds of thousands to millions) and even then its around 8%.

A bus driver makes the same regardless of genitals. Same with a factory worker, fast food cook, etc etc.

In fact childless unmarried females typically make MORE than their male counterparts and that’s controlling for education, hours on the job, etc.
