Long-time content contributor B.B. sent us this important link: The Six Things Obama Doesn’t Want You to Know About the Islamic State. The next day, B.B. also sent a link to this article: ISIS Jihadists Caught This Week in California and Indiana. These articles serve to confirm many of my conclusions about geopolitical trends. Reading them also made me feel justified in dedicating myself to writing at least five books in my new Counter-Caliphate Chronicles novel series.

Reader R.J. recommended the home-made Alvin Vacuum Sealer, for Mason-type jars. It is a simple hand pump that operates without electricity and uses standard FoodSaver Jar Sealer attachments and a commonly-available brake bleeder with gauge. Though more time consuming than using an AC-powered FoodSaver, it makes a great backup system for times without grid power.
