Day: November 11, 2014

Notes for Tuesday – November 11, 2014

“The America we know – the greatest nation in the world – didn’t come without great sacrifice. The long difficult road to where we are today was paved by our men and women in uniform. Their courage and selflessness are a source of pride for all Americans. And while Veterans Day is a special time to honor the many accomplishments of these heroes, it is by no means the only day our veterans deserve recognition. Please join me in taking time to reflect on the sacrifices of our veterans, to personally thank someone who has worn the uniform and to …


Making Your Own (An Ebola Unafraid Followup), by ShepherdFarmerGeek – Part 1

Optimistic. I continue to be guardedly optimistic that Ebola will not become the pandemic many people have feared.[1] News about its limited transmission in the United States is very encouraging. Also encouraging is the fact that, should Ebola (or some other dangerous virus) become a pandemic and crash the nation’s healthcare system, we can still purchase our own protective equipment and supplies and even have a reasonable chance of treating it, which was the premise of my recent article “Ebola Unafraid: A Preliminary Ebola Treatment Protocol Part 1 and Part 2.” Objections to Previous “Ebola Unafaid” Article Now I’m hearing …


Two Letters Re: Silver Deliveries and Nosy Deliverymen

HJL, We have ordered both ammo and silver through the mail from time to time and my response to my nosy FedEx guy is that it’s batteries for my UPS or the lawn mower. – WKJ o o o Hugh, Regarding MF’s problem with the UPS driver being curious, first of all, the driver knew it wasn’t bullets by the lack of an ORM-D label. It was probably insured, and the drivers know that, too. Tell him you’re getting into developing a wildcat cartridge loading and the box is full of custom machined solid copper bullets in say .284 caliber …

Economics and Investing:

Physical gold and silver, which represent the only real money out there with no counterparty risk, are now such a threat to our rapidly crumbling global fiat currency system that the central banks are going to ever greater lengths to hoodwink the public and keep them away from the two assets. Instead of people selling their gold and silver, they should be buying it hand-over-fist and getting out of these overpriced bonds, stocks, etc. John Embry On The Ongoing War In The Gold & Silver Markets – J.W. o o o Items from Mr. Econocobas: John Hussman: The Stock Market …


Odds ‘n Sods:

I recently received a review copy of the book How To Build The Perfect Off-Grid Home, by Roxyann Spanfelner. This profusely-illustrated 185-page large format paperback was recently released by Paladin Press. I was quite impressed with the author’s level of detail on site selection, foundations, general construction, trenching, pipe and conduit runs, plumbing, AC wiring, appliance selection and load estimation, backup generators, and photovoltaic system installation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning to build a retreat, even if you plan to contract out all of the plumbing and electrical work. – JWR o o o How …
