We no longer have comments to articles, but this column is intended to maintain the continuity of some two-way communication. This weekly column is a collection of short snippets: practical self-sufficiency items, how-tos, lessons learned, tips and tricks, and news items — both from readers and from SurvivalBlog’s editors. We may select some long e-mails for posting as separate letters.

Sir,
I read the review about the slip-on Pachmayr Decelerator pad with interest. I have a much older permanently installed Decelerator rifle butt pad installed in late 1980s. It still works nearly as well as it did when new. At least, that is what my now 58-year-old right shoulder tells me :^) Because adding the extra length would have affected my off-hand rifle shooting, I removed about ½” of factory wood stock, then regained approximately ¼” from the pad thickness. It does affect future worth to collector, but it gains faster time mounting to shoulder. Worth it to me. I recently purchased a slip-on Kick-Eeze pad for a lightweight single shot 12 gauge shotgun but as of yet have not tried it yet. – J.R.G.

Tunnel Rabbit wrote to recommend the latest by former British Army ex-pat “Max Velocity”: Moving By Vehicle in High Threat Environments. Tunnel Rabbit’s comments:
“This is family oriented. Even if it does not fit well in with usual topics found on the blog, it is a must-read. It is excellent as it adapts military tactics to the average prepper family that is forced to move away even from the city, or a well-stocked, and otherwise ideal retreat location. It is certainly a part of my planning, and I do not have a family to protect.”

Speaking of legislative issues, ponder this: Senator Manchin suggests he will agree to abolish the filibuster. JWR’s Comments: If that were to happen, then the socialists could get their entire agenda of bills passed, in rapid succession. Please pray that Senator Manchin switches parties, so that we can at least have some good-old Gridlock. If Manchin goes fully over to the Dark Side, then we could be in for a dark time, indeed.

Vaccine-skeptical Trump Country poses challenge to vaccine push.
AVL’s Comment: Our skepticism is well-founded. It is because we have the Holy Spirit and Word of God to prompt us to research deeply into these vaccines. We study history, we study and believe the prophecies of the Word of God, (Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21, Revelation, Zechariah, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Ezekiel.) And we follow current events. We are very suspicious of world leaders pushing for a “Great Reset” that clearly looks and smells like Communistic Totalitarianism and reminds us of Hitler’s medical experiments on the Jews in their concentration camps. Or of blankets contaminated with Smallpox given to Native Americans…? Take the time to read about The Georgia Guidestones. This time, the genocidal pogroms will be directed toward all people worldwide who are not members of the Elite leadership. History may not repeat but it often rhymes.

Elementary school homework: ‘The Trial of Jesus’.: British elementary school gives homework assignment about Jews’ part in killing Jesus. AVL’s Comment: Umm, this is actually true. The elites in the Sanhedrin were threatened by Jesus’ claim to be the Son of God and the favorable response that He was receiving from the Am Haaretz, the people of the Land. The Sanhedrin demanded that He be put to death for blaspheming God, by saying that He was His son. Their trial was illegal and done at night, in secret. They didn’t have two witnesses to agree with the same charges. They illegally sentenced Jesus to death. But because of Jewish Law and the timing of the Feasts and to not become defiled, they couldn’t put him to death. Instead, they handed him over to the Romans who carried out the death sentence. It is not Anti-Semitic to tell the truth of the New Testament about Jesus, as this article is implying that it is. The Sanhedrin killed most of the prophets that God has sent to them all throughout history, from the earliest prophets to Zechariah, as well as Jesus.
Matthew 23: 34-35: “Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.”
However, just a reminder, Jesus gave up His own life as a sacrifice for our sins. John 10:14-17:
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.”
By His blood we have redemption from our sins. Through faith in Him, our sins are forgiven and we will escape the Wrath of God The Father when He judges Satan and all who worship Him and take His Mark. I can envision in the very near future through the One World Religion of the New World Order that Christians, assorted Gentiles, Karaite Jews, and Jewish Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) will once again be persecuted.
