The President, the Speaker of the House, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI have all made announcements this last week about a “War on Domestic Terror” and the threat of “Domestic Violent Extremists” and “Homegrown Violent Extremists”. Politicians are giving speeches about “all-out war”, “declaring war”, “seditionists”, and “re-education camps”. There areContinue reading “If the Government is Planning on War – Shouldn’t You?”

Dealing with Rumors
The information age was supposed to make our lives better. It was supposed to enable us to make faster decisions based upon the solid, factual information that was available at our fingertips at a moments notice.

Legal Preparedness 1
I’ve mentioned before that knowing your state’s self-defense and citizen’s arrest laws can help, and I meant it.

If I have to egress an urban area on foot, and I am trying to slide out of theContinue reading “Gray Man Vs. Camouflage”
Skill – Entry Control Point/Traffic Control Point
In a Without Rule of Law (WROL) situation, many people will be forced from their homes by fires, riots, looters, and whatever other disasters caused the WROL situation.
