The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods

SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods— a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “JWR”. Our goal is to educate our readers, to help them to recognize emerging threats, and to be better prepared for both disasters and negative societal trends. You can’t mitigate a risk if you haven’t first identified a risk. Today, we examine some options for perennial food plantings.

2022 Intelligence Community’s Annual Threat Assessment

Linked over at the Whatfinger.com news aggregation site is this at LibertyNation: The 2022 Intelligence Community’s Annual Threat Assessment. Here is teh article’s intro:

Each year the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) publishes an unclassified, broad-brush evaluation of worldwide threats that pose serious consequences if the national leadership does not take them seriously. Of the manifest dangers the US faces, the following are three for all Americans to note.

First, the list of global competitor threats to the US is in the correct order. It is encouraging that the IC puts as number one in its list of perils, China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not the number one “pacing challenge” as the US Department of Defense euphemistically refers to the People’s Republic of China (PRC).”
