“We cannot restore traditional American freedom unless we limit the government’s power to tax. No tinkering with this, that, or the other law will stop the trend toward socialism. We must repeal the Sixteenth Amendment.” – Frank Chodorov
For those who have eyes like mine, the font on an iPad/iPod is difficult to read, but there is an answer. Since everyone’s eyes are different, it doesn’t make sense to regulate that aspect of the blog from the server side. Rather, each iPad/iPod needs to adjust specifically for its user. To that end, these instructions should alleviate the issue. If you are using a Windows or an Android tablet/phone, there should be similar methods available to you as well. For those who want the advertisements to show on the smaller screen identical to the desktop, you pretty much have …
April 28th is the birthday of Aimo Johannes Lahti (born in 1896.) This clever Finn designed (or co-designed) an amazing array of weapons including the L-35 Lahti pistol, Suomi M-31 SMG, the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 LMG, the the famous Lahti L-39 20mm anti-tank rifle, and even the 20 ItK 40(a 20 mm dual anti-aircraft cannon).
In thinking about the results of a total collapse of financial institutions in the United States, some conclusions can be drawn to identify events that would unfold immediately following the collapse. Following these conclusions, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to theorize how the subsequent future of society would look once order is restored. The collapse will obviously be violent and downright depressing. The cities will see conflagrations, mass killings, and famine, similar to what is seen in urban warfare. Because of the violence and difficulties living in the cities, there will likely be a migration of survivors into the rural …
Hands down, I received more requests from SurvivalBlog readers for a review of the Ruger SR-762 rifle than any other firearm, ever. Over my many years of writing about firearms, I’ve received quite a few requests from readers to test new firearms, and I try to accommodate those requests if possible. However, I honestly didn’t want to review the Ruger SR-762 for one major reason– I’ve already reviewed the Ruger SR-556 and SR-556E rifles, and this was nothing more than a “big brother” to those two rifles. It’s chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62NATO, and they are NOT the same caliber. However, …
Ingredients: 1 quart chicken broth 1/2 cup rice 2-3 tablespoons dehydrated onions 1 15.5-oz. can white beans 1 13-oz. can chicken 3/4 cup dehydrated spinach Directions: Cook first three ingredients, until the rice is done. Add the next three ingredients (including liquid in cans) and cook about 10 more minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Notes: We grow Malabar spinach, dehydrate it, and store in quart jars in the pantry. We also make homemade chicken broth, reduce it, and freeze in ice cube trays, then just use about 5-6 cubes with water. Homemade broth tastes better than store canned, and …
JWR, With hyper inflation about to hit us soon, do you think I would be better off having my dollars changed into Canadian currency or have minted silver dollars? Thank you for all that you do for us. – G.T. JWR Responds: There is nothing magical about Canadian paper (or Tyvek) currency versus U.S. paper currency. Both are inevitably doomed to mass inflation, because neither are both convertible to precious metals on demand. I presently recommend acquiring pre-1965 U.S. silver quarters, rather than U.S. silver dollars. Quarters minted in or before 1964 have 90% silver content, while U.S. silver dollars …

The format is basically complete on the blog, as of today. We still have a small bit of cleanup to perform regarding fonts and such, as well as a few articles that did not import very well. I’ll be taking care of those little niggly details over the coming weeks. For those who are on mobile devices though, you should be aware that the site performs differently than it did before. Rather than showing the whole page that you have to zoom and scroll around on, this format is termed “responsive”. Depending on the size of your display screen, the …
The next part of my personal development of a preparedness-based lifestyle started with acquiring goods. Whether you are living with your parents, in a dormitory, or on your own, you have the ability to stock up on preparedness essentials. The main areas I have found easiest to begin with include information, food, water, and medical/sanitation supplies. Some areas that followed include tools, heat/light sources, communication, and firearms. Remember: Don’t get overwhelmed; it can take awhile to acquire various goods, but they will provide comfort and help you survive in the future, no matter what stage you are in. Something is …
