Just When You Thought it Could'nt Get Any Worse

by Jonathan Hunt
For a Massive Sell-off – In my opinion, the market is now perfectly positioned for a massive dollar sell-off. My gut is that the dollar sell-off will be sharp and swift. Once the dollar decisively breaks below last year’s lows, many of the traders who jumped ship in the recent rally will look to re-establish their positions. This will accelerate the dollar’s descent and refocus everyone’s attention back on the financial train-wreck unfolding in the United States.

The Fed Computers Ready to Fire Up Again – When debt to GDP reaches 90%, as it looks like it will, growth slows and bad things happen.

Can It Go Up Forever? – Here’s one of the only economic charts that really matters: Total U.S. debt to GDP. This chart shows the trend from the end of the Civil War until now.

Housing Collapse Getting Worse – The banking system has captured our government and frustration is boiling over. Yet those in the housing and banking industry seem complacent and even self congratulatory that we “have avoided Great Depression 2.0.” Really?

Retirees More Broke Than Ever – People don’t want to think about this.” Instead, everyone prefers to stick their head in the sand until it is too late to do anything.

Every Bank And Government Will Collapse World Wide – The collapse of currencies and nations won’t happen overnight, because their demise has been planned, and a subtle collapse is in process. Our guess is that next year is when the collapse will finally take place followed by one of the greatest deflationary depressions of all time.

U.N.'s Agenda 21, America Taken By Stealth

by Jonathan Hunt ATU 757 Portland




Being a firm believer in the Constitution and our rights and freedoms as Americans, I could not live with my conscience if I did not SOUND THE ALARMS about this story.

I belong to several groups which fight to maintain our freedoms, and I got this information from Freedom Advocates. They have a booklet called " Understanding Sustainable Development Agenda 21." I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to live in a communist America.

The way I understand it, the United Nations invented the global warming LIES, (using their OWN group of scientists, who have REWRITTEN global temperatures, to suite the lies...) You may have heard of this in the news recently, that emails were discovered, which showed how they were LYING... Well, what the news coverage NEGLECTED to tell us, was why the lies were invented in the first place.

The lies were invented as a SCARE TACTIC, so all of us gullible Americans, and others would believe that changes had to be made in order to STOP global warming to "protect the environment." The changes they are making are contained in Agenda 21, and according to the booklet, they are being used in all areas of our government. I myself have witnessed some of this first hand. Agenda 21 is being used globally, nationally,and locally.

This agenda never had to pass Congress, because it is considered 'soft-law policy.' It has basically UNDERMINED our Constitution and all other rights. Our government officials, (federal, state AND local,) have bought into this trash bin of COMMUNISM, thinking that they were doing something GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

Maybe some of them know what they are doing. Maybe not. Bill Clinton established it here..so I'd say HE knew what he was doing..(He is the one who gave most of our national parks to the U.N., in case you didn't know.)

The bottom line is this. According to the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights,"Rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." Government can grant, restrict, or withdrawal your rights according to what it needs. The product of your labor, and you yourself belong to the community. In other words, you HAVE no rights...

The booklet also discusses how the U.N. wants to control and ration our drinking water, HEALTH CARE, and other public services.They will create 'shortages' of things, and control our natural resources, making them forbidden to us.

They are planning to control our dietary intake,and they want to eliminate MEAT from our diets.They want to control the population, and force us to recycle.They want new modes of transportation.They want to brain wash our children to abide by, and promote 'sustainable development.'

Local colleges near me are offering courses that are called 'sustainability and going green.' From the brochure, these classes are teaching students agenda 21 principles, and how to build homes that restrict heating, cooling, appliance usage, and more.

The U.N. wants to take away our private property rights, making fifty percent of the U.S. OFF LIMITS to humans. This is so they can jam us in GOVERNMENT OWNED HOUSING, force us to work GOVERNMENT JOBS, and do exactly what they tell us. All of this is supposedly done to "PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT." The booklet explains how they are implementing this, and the scary part is, they are GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!

Many of our U.S. cities have already joined with the group called ICLEI, The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. This group assists the local government in pushing this agenda. You may have heard of 'smart growth, sustainable development, the wild-lands project, or other "GREEN" terms.

Don't you believe the lies. This has NOTHING to do with SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT. It is PURE SATANIC COMMUNISM, and we have got to GET RID OF ALL OF THESE "GREEN" GARBAGE LIES AND RECLAIM OUR COUNTRY!! Please..get the booklet. I wish you all the best, and never give up! May God Bless And Keep Us From This Evil!

How Much Fuel Does a Cruise Ship Use?

by Jonathan Hunt
I have no idea how much fuel a cruise ship uses, nor do I care - what I care about is getting your attention, so hopefully I can, give you advice to help further your preparedness level. You have to admit the title grabbed your eye, which was the intent. Now let's get started.

My fuel storage is small compared the amounts suggested by some other survival blogs and books, no 10,000 gallon diesel storage tanks or resupply trucks at my place. Mine is just some propane tanks and a few five gallon cans.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a huge set-up - unfortunately finances won't allow it.

My cook-stove, refrigerator and water heater all use liquefied petroleum gas (propane). When I bought my trailer it came with two 20lb tanks, which were fine for camping or other recreational use, but for full time occupation they weren't sufficient and were quickly replaced with 100lb tanks.

Used for cooking and refrigeration those tanks will last me about a year - longer if I do most of my cooking outside over an open fire or in my Dutch oven.

I also keep the two 20lb tanks that I replaced full at all times. I should have enough fuel to fire the cook stove and run the fridge for at least a year or more.

Propane is efficient and easy to store in the pressurized tanks supplied by the dealer, but can be extremely dangerous if leaks occur near an ignition source.

I don't know if it's true, but the guy working for the local LP dealer, told me about a man who was unloading one of the 100lb tanks from the back of a pickup truck and was blown to bits as soon when he touched the tank.

He said the tank had been laid on it's side and rolled around in the truck bed during transport, damaging the valve and causing a leak. When the guy took hold of the tank, static electricity from his fingers sparked an explosion killing him and his son.

Like I said, I don't know if this really happened or if it was just a warning from the dealer, but it made me think and become more cautious. Now I wear leather gloves whenever loading or unloading propane.

Propane tanks should be left in the open and not tightly enclosed. I have the 20lb tanks sitting outside on a platform made of concrete block and a half sheet of plywood covered with a tarp.

Gasoline is the hardest fuel to store for an extended length of time. I keep three, five gallon cans, full at all times - 15 gallons doesn't sound like much, but I don't plan on joy riding through town poking fun at those who didn't prepare.

My motivation for storing gasoline is to keep my chainsaws running. If you've ever tried cutting firewood with a crosscut saw you know how important a chainsaw is in your survival preps.

I treat my gasoline with Sta-Bil and rotate every 3-6 months, I don't know how long it would remain viable, but I think six months is a good cutoff period for rotation.

Kerosene and diesel (diesel Sta-Bil) are easy to store and have a longer storage life than does gasoline.

I store kerosene in blue cans and gasoline in red. Mistakenly pouring gasoline into a kerosene heater for instance, could have dire consequences. Following a color coding system helps eliminate this possibility.

The standard fuel container color coding system is blue for kerosene, red for gasoline, and yellow for diesel. I suggest you follow this system.

No doubt some of you have already worked out your fuel storage needs and have planned accordingly - please share what you've learned in the comments below.
