AmEx (American Expat) sent a PDF link to an expert analysis (published by Virginia Tech) on the potential impact of a major earthquake along the New Madrid Fault Line. This is food for thought, and cause to do a bit of padding and strapping down.

FBI director: Have to check whether targeted killing rule is outside US only. It is not very reassuring, seeing men like this seated in high places. Let’s add Robert Mueller to the same list as Eric Holder. They must be forced out of office with a public outcry, as soon as possible. Both of them are clearly incompetent, morally bankrupt, and Constitutionally illiterate.

Charming news: Uncle Sam: If It Ends in .Com, It’s .Seizable. JWR’s Comments: SurvivalBlog’s primary server is now in Sweden, and the blog is automatically posted daily to survivalblog.se. (As recommended by our Department of Redundancy Department.) And of course we publicize our dotted quad address. Please bookmark that IPV4 address: http://95.143.193.148–just in case you ever click on your SurvivalBlog bookmark and see a FBI warning displayed. I suspect that Eric Holder, et al will not stop with just seizing the domain names of bit torrent and gambling web sites. With or without SOPA, they are already on the war path against sites “identified with malware”, for instance. So what is to stop them from seizing the domain names of sites that they deem “anti-government”, or “disseminating information useful to domestic terrorists”? (We call that information preparedness and survival skills, but never underestimate the ability of a biased bureaucrat to cast a wide net.) Let’s face it: We have already been identified as “the enemy”, folks. After all, if National Pravda Radio has defined the we-they paradigm, citing their leftist “experts”, then in the eyes of The Powers That Be, it must be true.

Choate Machine & Tool has come up with a great product for AR-15 and M4gery owners: an Essential Parts Kit that is cleverly packaged in a clear plastic tube that has the same dimensions as a stacked pair of CR-123 batteries. So this kit is a perfect fit for stowing in some of the new buttstocks, pistol grips and foregrips that have integral spare battery compartments.
