News Section:
I am including a small section of the most significant news articles that I encounter in my daily intelligence gathering routine. I check scour the internet for news 2 to 3 times a day, everyday. The news that I find is usually not printed, covered in depth, or presented in the major media which should tell you all you need to know regarding the total failure of the media. Understanding current events give you a “heads up” as to when and how severe a potential Economic / Social melt down will occur.
The following are the major topics that I focus on to provide me with that “heads up” so that I can refine and complete my preparation efforts:
Gun Control: The most important thing to watch is efforts at stealth gun control like the UN Arms Trade Treaty or increasing prices of shooting material through excessive tax and fees.
Breakdown of Law and Order: This is very important as it shows in observable terms how broken and incapable of dealing with any major crisis the system is. Some of the bellwether stories are: Fast and Furious, Urban Crime Waves (Chicago), Illegal government activities going unchallenged or easily swept away, The Left Wing Protest Movements (OWS), New Laws, Unconstitutional Actions by the Government, Executive Orders, and the General Condition of our Overall Legal System.
New Laws and / or Restrictions: There are many rules by various governmental agencies that are impacting the economy and the social order that the media totally ignores. New EPA, DOJ, & DHS regulations are particularly frightening. The State Department is furiously working on the US signing on to a number of treaties (LOST & UN Arms Trade Treaty).
Food, Utilities, and Communications: Efforts by the government to excessively control each of these sectors does not bode well for the free market, the weak economy, or a future crisis. Food restrictions, limits on consumption or purchase of specific goods and services, and energy distribution regulations in particular are quite ominous. Also frequent and widespread infrastructure (and utility) failures are like the canary in the cage when it comes to the health of our economic system.
Media: The media we have today is in total failure and has completely sided with one viewpoint (leftist). Control of information is key to any wanna-be Stalins and lack of critical information will leave you caught unprepared when an Economic / Social Meltdown Event occurs. Attacks on opposing viewpoint media need to be noted since the severity and success of such attacks is a harbinger of our degenerating society and culture.
The stories I post here are presented with the headline, the first paragraph (or more), and the link to the original article. It is up to you, the reader to double check the accuracy and cross reference for the actual facts of the story with other sources. I usually do this before I post the article, but sometimes the information speaks for itself.
