Reports that 2 to 3 feet of snow would hit the mid-Atlantic region created a panic buying atmosphere at Washington D.C. area supermarkets prior to last weekend's blizzard. Shelves were picked clean of meat, fruit and other essentials. The thought of having to go a couple of days without going to the store caused some Washingtonians to go into a frenzy. So what would happen if a real crisis came, and once the supermarkets were out of food they could not get any more? How crazed would people get then? The Washington D.C. blizzard of 2010 has been dubbed the "snowpocalypse", but honestly it wasn't that bad. Sure it was inconvenient and thousands of people lost power, but it was not a major disaster by any stretch of the imagination.
But people got crazy (Read more....)
What a winter it has been for the east coast already - and yet it is not over. In fact, some computer models are calling for up to 2 feet of snow to hit the mid-Atlantic region this upcoming weekend. Yes, you read that right. 2 feet of snow. At least that is what the sophisticated computer models that 
Haiti has become yet another example (just like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina) of how when society breaks down, evil comes out to play. We have all seen pictures or video footage of the machete-wielding gangs and looters that have been ravaging Port-au-Prince since the earthquake. If not for the U.S. and U.N. troops that have been inserted into Haiti, the whole nation would be an utter madhouse at this point. But the point of this article is not to dump on Haiti. The truth is that we have seen this kind of thing all over the world when society breaks down. After all, have we forgotten the horrors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina so quickly? The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted every day only exists as long as society 
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti is being called the worst natural disaster in at least a decade. In fact, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon is already calling it a worse disaster than the Asian tsunami of several years ago that killed so many thousands upon thousands of people. Authorities are desperately trying to get aid to the survivors in Haiti but they are being severely hampered 
One of the great debates among survivalists is regarding the value of gold. One the one hand, gold is one of the few things that will hold its value when the U.S. dollar collapses. On the other hand, you can't eat or drink gold. That is the position that the maker of the film posted below takes. He advocates focusing on the things that you will actually need: food, water, shelter and protection. But is he being overly dramatic? If so, what kind of future should we all be preparing for? One where there is some level of law and order and where gold and silver will be of value, or one where law and order have completely vanished and the land is ruled by roaming gangs?
The massive winter snow storm that has hit the Washington D.C. area is truly historic in nature. Some areas have received over 2 feet of snow. The entire Washington D.C. area has been paralyzed as the snow continues to accumulate. Without a doubt this is the biggest snow storm of the decade for the mid-Atlantic region. While other areas of the U.S. are accustomed to getting large amounts of snow, the truth is that a blizzard of this magnitude is completely crippling for those who live around Washington D.C. There have been over 4000 traffic accidents in Virginia alone due to this massive snow storm. Hundreds of cars are totally stuck or abandoned. It is hard to describe just how much this storm has affected the entire area. Posted below are some stunning 
Most Americans have absolutely no idea that over the past couple of decades, one giant corporation has achieved a virtual monopoly on some of the most important seed markets in the United States. Not only that, but this same company has done more to push genetically modified food on to the dinner tables of America than any other corporation. The name of that giant corporation is Monsanto, and today approximately 95 percent of all soybeans and approximately 80 percent of all corn in the United States 
For weeks, troubling reports have been coming out of Ukraine of hundreds of patients dying from a frightening hemorrhagic flu. Doctors on the ground in Ukraine have stated that the lungs of the victims of this flu quickly fill up with blood and that temperatures inside the lungs of these victims can reach temperatures of up to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. As they near death, the lungs of these patients literally disintegrate and turn as black as charcoal. Last week,
