Odds ‘n Sods:

Mexico warns Texas not to refuse its immigrants’ babies U.S. birth certificates Why is it that the descendants of Southern European, imperialist, colonialist, slave-owning, conquistadors who settled in the southern half of North America, after enslaving, raping, pillaging, murdering, and effectively exterminating much of the indigenous peoples of that land area have such a hatred for the descendants of Northern European, protestant Pilgrims who built the northern half of the North American land mass into the most prosperous, democratic, freedom-loving and defending, ethnically and religiously diverse, God fearing nation on earth, without whom much of the free world would now be enslaved by Nazi-ism, Communism, Dictatorships, or tribal and ethnic warfare? Sadly, the Protestant work ethic never had a chance to take root in Mexico– a statist, corporatist, imperial dictatorship for much of its life and now a narco state. How is it that the leaders of a failed, foreign-dominated state have anything at all to say to the world’s greatest protector of freedom? How is it that Mexico, whose so called “border guards” on its southern border frequently rob, beat, rape, and murder central and southern indigenous peoples trying to cross Mexico to reach these United States, lectures us on anything at all. – M.N.

SurvivalBlog reader J.C. wanted us to remind people – Now is a good time to stock up on seeds for next year. He just bought seed packets from Dollar General for two cents (originally 4 for $1.00). It’s hard to beat that price, even if some don’t germinate. Look for places liquidating their stock in preparation for the holiday sales.
