I just noticed that Ready Made Resources has an interesting sale right now. A six month package of Numanna freeze dried food is only $1337 and includes 2 extra Numanna Grab and Go Buckets valued at $137 each, a Sawyer Mini filter valued at $24.95 and a foldable 21 Watt Solar panel with a USB port valued at $89. This might be a good time to take inventory of your stock and beef it up.

  1. Boss, that AMX 30 French tank could be either Syrian or Israeli, the driver kind of looks like he’s doing a prayer thing like the Syrians do, who aren’t Christian, with the tank commander standing nearby, looking away. I could not really make out any markings on the tank, there appear to be ruck sacks hung on the outside of it, something the Israelis are known to do. So who do you think it belongs to?

    1. Wait a second: There’s no Christians in Syria? Really?

      Who do you think Assad and the Russians have been protecting during the civil war there? Of course you won’t get that news here in the U.S.

      And, they happen to be some of the earliest descended, along with the Chaldeans in Iraq, etc. Way before there was ever a Catholic, or Protestant.

  2. The guy on the tank isn’t praying. The guys head is stuck in the drivers turret. The man is wearing a Leopard camo that is French. The Israeli troops wore this.

  3. Jerry, dear soul, I never said anything about there not being Christian Syrians. Read the comment next time, and take a couple of minutes to think it over.
