I've been busy with a new job working in SEO. Thanks everyone for continuing to read this blog, regardless of my inactivity. I've seen 100 hits a day lately. New posts coming very soon!

Whether for in your home, or in your bug-out kit, a First aid is a must. Here's a simple list of things that will up your survivability by a decent percentage.
Choose containers for your kits that are durable and simple to open. Plastic tackle boxes are great. They're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.
First-aid manual
Sterile gauze
Adhesive tape
Adhesive bandages in several sizes
Elastic bandage
Antiseptic wipes
Soap
Antibiotic cream (triple-antibiotic ointment)
Antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
Hydrocortisone cream (1%)
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen
Extra prescription medications
Tweezers
Sharp scissors
Safety pins
Disposable instant cold packs
Calamine lotion
Alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol
Thermometer
Plastic gloves (at least 2 pairs)
Flashlight and extra batteries
Mouthpiece for administering CPR (can be obtained from your local Red Cross)
Your list of emergency phone numbers (not useful in an NWO situation)
Blanket (stored nearby)
Think about your direct bodily experience of life.
No one can lie to you about that.
How many hours a day do you spend in front of a television screen?
A computer screen?
Behind an automobile windscreen?
All three screens combined?
What are you being screened from?
How much of your life comes at you through a screen, vicariously?
Is watching things as exciting as DOING things?
Do you have enough time to DO all the things that you want to do?
Do you have enough energy to?
And how many hours a day do you sleep?
How are you affected by standardized time, designed solely to synchronize your movements with those of millions of other people?
How long do you ever go without knowing what time it is?
Who or what controls your minutes and hours?
The minutes and hours that add up to your life?
Can you put a value on a beautiful day, when the birds are singing and people are walking around together?
How many dollars an hour does it take to pay you to stay inside and sell things or file papers?
What will you get later that could make up for this day of your life?
How are you affected by being in crowds, by being surrounded by anonymous masses?
Do you find yourself blocking your emotional responses to other human beings?
And who prepares your meals?
Do you ever eat by yourself?
Do you ever eat standing up?
How much do you know about what you eat and where it comes from?
How much do you trust it?
What are we deprived of by labor-saving devices?
By thought-saving devices?
How are you affected by the requirements of efficiency, which place value on the product rather than the process, on the future rather than the present, the present moment that is getting shorter and shorter as we speed faster and faster into the future?
What are we speeding towards?
Are we saving time?
Saving it up for what?
How are you affected by being moved around in prescribed paths, in elevators, buses, subways, escalators, on highways and sidewalks?
By moving, working, and living in two and three dimensional grids?
How are you affected by being organized, immobilized, and scheduled...instead of wandering, roaming freely and spontaneously?
Scavenging?
How much freedom of movement do you have--freedom to move through space, to move as far as you want, in new and unexplored directions?
And how are you affected by waiting?
Waiting in line, waiting in traffic, waiting to eat, waiting for the bus, waiting for the bathroom--learning to punish and ignore your spontaneous urges?
How are you affected by holding back your desires?
By sexual repression, by the delay or denial of pleasure, starting in childhood, along with the suppression of everything in you that is spontaneous, everything that evidences your wild nature, your membership in the animal kingdom?
Is pleasure dangerous?
Could danger be joyous?
Do you ever need to see the sky?
Can you see stars in it anymore?
Do you ever need to see water, leaves, foliage, animals?
Glinting, glimmering, moving?
Is that why you have a pet, an aquarium, houseplants?
Or are television and video your glinting, glimmering, moving?
How much of your life comes at you through a screen, vicariously?
Do videotapes of yourself and your friends fascinate you, as if you are somehow more real in image than in life?
If your life was made into a movie, would it be worth watching?
And how do you feel in situations of enforced passivity?
How are you affected by a non-stop assault of symbolic communication-- audio, visual, print, billboard, computer, video, radio, robotic voices--as you wander through the forest of signs?
What are they urging upon you?
Do you ever need solitude, quite, contemplation?
Do you remember it?
Thinking on your own, rather than reacting to stimuli?
Is it hard to look away?
Is looking away the very thing that is not permitted?
Where can you go to find silence and solitude?
Not white noise, but pure silence?
Not loneliness, but gentle solitude?
How often have you stopped to ask yourself questions like these?
Do you find yourself committing acts of symbolic violence?
Do you ever feel lonely in a way that words cannot even express?
Do you ever feel ready to lose control?
If this inspired you, I can provide you your ticket out of this world.
The Amero
As S.L. mentioned over here, we are heading towards a one world currency and New World Order. I find it enlightening to know other people think about such things, and ironic that, just one day after me re-addressing this blog and turning it in such a direction, that I see a similar post on the main page. The world is not all blind

So I just saw The Happening. Without reviewing or talking about the movie, I'm going to talk about how this movie was conceived.
M. Night Shamalamawhatever and one of his buddies were sitting around drinking one night, when somehow he came up with the idea to bet his buddy he could make a joke movie, promote it as serious, and get a bunch of people to go see it
