Winners in our non-fiction writing contest will be announced tomorrow… please give your suggestions and thoughts in the comments below.
I don’t put much into what Jones says… ever, without doing a lot of my own research into the issue… but Joul Skousen makes some good points…
1.) Wells Fargo to Hogue Inc: We won’t do business with weapons manufacturers: Really! They didn’t see fit to stop at guns, they are now going after knives and knife companies. Why stop there? Why not go after automobile manufacturers? Any tool can be used as a weapon.
2.) If Voting Made Any Difference, They Wouldn’t Let Us Do It: “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” — Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union.
3.) The Coming Election Fraud: Now that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democrats’ candidate for President of...
I personally loathe corruption of any sort. I don’t know if it’s because of the way I was brought up or what I’ve learned sitting in church, but as far as I’m concerned a crime is a crime and a criminal is a criminal.
Even more than that, an immoral person is an immoral person and lack of integrity is lack of integrity. There really isn’t all that much grey area in that; you’re either on the right side or the wrong.
I guess that’s what makes it so hard to understand the Democrat Party selecting Hillary Clinton as their presidential candidate for the 2016 general elections. If one were to try and write a book about her illegal acts, lies and corruption, it would have to be printed in volumes, like an encyclopedia.
The list of Hillary’s criminal acts goes on and on; and it’s not like it’s a secret either; it’s widely known. But here’s the truly amazing part… even though the Democrat Party knows about it, they don’t care. That’s especially true for the establishment Democrats, the ones who control the party. For some unexplained and probably unexplainable reason, they are willing to overlook all her criminal activity and still put her up as a presidential candidate.
I don’t care what you say about Bernie Sanders, he at least seems to be an honorable and honest man. I personally can’t stand his politics, but at least I feel like I can trust most of what he says. With Hillary, just like with Obama, I am sure that what is said has no relation with the truth, unless it is to be a polar opposite.
I guess you could say I’m truly frightened about the prospects of Hillary Clinton winning this November, but I’m beginning to feel like it’s a foregone conclusion. While I don’t claim to have any prophetic insight on the election process or even statistical analysis to back up my thoughts, I had the same feeling when Obama ran for office and he won that election handily. I hope I’m wrong this time.
Part of the reason why I feel like Hillary’s election might be inevitable is how the Democrat primaries have gone. There are four glaring realities that happened in the primaries, which show that regardless of what has to be done will be done, in order to get Hillary elected.
Of these, probably the biggest concern right now is the last one. Vote fraud is a reality in our country and the Democrats fight tooth and nail against any measure to curb it. That’s why they are so against voter ID laws, even though the people who they claim it discriminates against have much stricter voter ID laws in their own countries.
Somewhere around a million paper ballots for Bernie Sanders were shredded, illegally I might add. In other states, voters who declared their support for Bernie were not allowed to vote. Somehow or other, there never were enough paper ballots to vote for Bernie, although there were always enough to vote for Hillary.
Then there were all the electronic votes which were changed from Bernie to Hillary. That’s the slickest of them all, especially because there is no paper trail or even electronic trail to follow, so that the fraud can be proven. Yet, a very strong statistical case has been made, basically proving that electronic votes were changed from Bernie to Hillary. Time after time, exit polls showed Bernie winning districts, but the electronic vote favoring Hillary. That can happen sometimes, but not as many times as it did.

Oh, by the way, did you know that the number of federal election auditors sent out to verify that the primaries were fair and honest was the lowest in history? Yes, apparently someone got the word that they wouldn’t be needed this time; so they stayed home in Washington. Looks to me like they were needed.
All this is hypocrisy in the extreme. The party who claims that voter ID laws disenfranchise voters has disenfranchised who knows how many of their own constituents. I’d say that that’s a much bigger problem and a much bigger crime, than not allowing an illegal alien to vote, because they don’t have a valid U.S. ID card.
Somehow, between now and November, the Republicans are going to have to make sure that the vote of the people is not tampered with. Otherwise, it won’t matter what people do in the voting booth, Hillary will win. Your vote and mine won’t matter at all.
The Die Is Cast, They Think
But there’s something else going on here that bothers me, and I’ll have to say, it borders on conspiracy theory. I wrote last year on the Bilderberg Group and how they had discussions about the 2016 presidential elections listed on their published 2015 meeting agenda. They did the same thing before the 2008 presidential elections, inviting Obama to participate and quietly endorsing him as their candidate for the presidency.
As far as I’m concerned, the Bilderberg Group has no place in U.S. politics. They are an international organization of movers and shakers, who are the founders and backers of the one world movement, amongst other liberal hobby horses. While some of them are American citizens, many more are European. As such, they shouldn’t have any say in what happens in our country, just like we shouldn’t have any say in what happens in their country.
But if there is any group that is the puppet-masters behind the stage of world events, this group is it. They have the money and influence to make things happens the way they want. So if they decide that they want a particular candidate to win the U.S. presidential elections, they have considerable resources and power to put behind that decision.
Since the Democrats are the ones who are in favor of a one world government and the Republicans are opposed to it, it’s clear which party the Bilderburg Group will back, even without talking to them. But to put the cherry on the cake, a number of the Clintons’ closest allies were there in last year’s conference, pushing the narrative that Hillary should be the next president. So it appears that she has their vote, even if they have no right to vote in our elections.
The real question is, how much influence do these people actually have? Yes, they can put money behind the candidate they want. Yes, they can pressure media outlets to proclaim the narrative that they want (some high ranking media personalities are always part of the annual conference). They can even put pressure on business executives to back the candidate they choose. But can they truly tip the scales of our election process, either through fraud or some other underhanded means?
That’s a question we don’t have the answer to. But I will say this; looking at how the primary season has gone and even the DNC, I’d have to say that if Hilary wins the election, it will be because of the underhanded manipulations of some group like this. There is no way she can be guaranteed to win the elections otherwise.
Over the last few months, we’ve seen many times more attendees at Bernie’s rallies than at Hillary’s. We’ve seen Bernie’s delegates walk out of the convention. We’ve even seen the Democrat Party rent applause machines to make the applause greater for Hilary’s acceptance speech. All of this makes it seem like she shouldn’t have won the primaries. Yet somehow she did.
So whatever magic has been used to ensure Hillary’s win of the nomination must still be in the air. That doesn’t bode well for this fall’s elections. Nor does it bode well for the country.
We don’t need a criminal in the White House, we need someone who will stand for truth and righteousness, and work to restore the greatness of our country.

Written by Guest Contributor on The Prepper Journal.
Here are some basic instructions on how to avoid getting captured if you manage to escape from kidnappers, terrorists or from a location where things have gone very wrong.
The post Escape and Evasion: Running for Your Life appeared first on The Prepper Journal.
Do you think of egg crates as useless junk that only a hoarder would save? Surprisingly enough, both Styrofoam and cardboard versions can be of immense value to preppers.
While you may not need to store away thousands of egg crates, they should definitely be part of your stockpile. You can also use them now as you test out different parts of your survival plans rather than buy more expensive items that are usually marketed for certain purposes.
Why Sterilizing Egg Crates?
Before you set egg crates away in your stockpile, make sure that you only keep ones that are already as clean as possible. Do not use crates that show signs of dirt, fluid from cracked eggs, or moisture that leaves a ring around the bottom of the carton. Each of these issues can spell an increased risk for coming into contact with salmonella and several other dangerous bacteria.
Once you have a set of what appear to be clean egg crates, your next step should be to sterilize them. Since commercial eggs in the United States are notorious for carrying salmonella and other diseases, you need to sterilize the crates before using them.
Here are some methods you can try:
1. Seed Starting
To prepare each cell in the egg crate, punch one or two holes in the bottom so that water can escape.
Since Styrofoam tends to insulate better than cardboard, it may work better during colder months.
Usually, you will add just one seed to each cell. If the seeds tend to be poor germinators or the species is known to produce poor seedlings, then you may want to plant as many as 4 seeds to each tray.
Just remember that you will have to thin the seedlings to one per cup in order to avoid overcrowding. Alternatively, you can use thin cardboard strips or hard plastic to make a four mini-cells that will make separating the plants a bit easier later on.
When soil, time, and/or seeds are at a premium, this solution requires some extra work, but may still be well worth exploring.
Egg crates make even better seed starting trays when you add an egg shell to each cell. Without the egg shell, you would have to pull the cardboard or Styrofoam away from the soil before planting. When you use eggshells, all you need to do is crack the shell a bit and set it and the seedling into the ground. As the roots grow, they will get extra calcium from the shell, and also some protection from burrowing insects that will get cut apart by the sharp edges of the shells.
2. Mini-buoys
If you plan to fish, monitor pond or river water levels, or keep track of nets and fish traps, then you will always need buoys to help mark locations. Styrofoam egg crates offer a perfect way to make inexpensive buoys that can be used for this and other purposes. To use the egg crates as mini-buoys:
3. Compost
Since cardboard egg crates come from trees, they are the perfect organic material addition to the compost pile. To use them for this purpose, tear them up into small pieces and mix them in with other contents of the pile. Try not to put inked outer casings into the compost pile as these dyes can be toxic.
Most people do not sterilize egg cartons before adding them to the compost pile. Even though you will not be using these egg crates directly for food or raising food, it is my contention they should still be sterilized so that you do not risk contaminating your compost pile with dangerous bacteria.
Remember that bacteria arriving on the crates from commercial farms have already been exposed to many kinds of antibiotics. As such, they may well survive in places where you would not expect them to, such as in your compost pile and garden. This is especially important if you are planning to grow raw edibles such as spinach, lettuce, or anything else that will not be well cooked before consumption.
4. Nesting and Shelter for Edible Insects
In many parts of the world edible insects are considered as much a delicacy as they are staple food filled with important nutrients. When you are stuck in one room, or you must rely on prolific, compact food sources, edible insects may wind up on your survival menu.
Unfortunately, if you were thinking about hunting for edible insects on an “as needed” basis, you could wind up getting very sick because of all the pesticides and toxins that may be found in them. Even if you are in the woods or other natural settings, normally edible insects may be contaminated with poisons. Growing your own insects for survival is practical, and can also help you improve your health while lowering your food bills well before a major food shortage occurs.
Crickets and many other edible insects can be housed in cardboard egg crates, or used as food for them. For example, even one egg crate can sustain several hundred crickets, and offer plenty of nutrient rich food. Since you will be consuming the insects, remember to avoid using the dyed or inked parts of the crates. These chemicals can easily build up in an insect’s body just as easily as pesticides and other toxins.
5. Fire Starters
You can pack just about anything into cardboard egg creates to make fire starters that will work in most situations. In general, you should choose materials that will act as tinder and last long enough to dry out secondary tinder materials before igniting them.
Video first seen on Loon Island Outdoors.
After separating the cells, consider the following packing materials:
6. Candle Molds
If you decide to use egg crates as candle molds, you will produce a candle that is about twice the size of a regular tea light. It is best to use Styrofoam egg crates for this purpose because there is less chance of the wax absorbing into the pores of the mold. Since Styrofoam may be melted by hot wax, you should position the wick, and then repeatedly fill and pour out the wax until the mold is filled.
As with other DIY candle molds, you should also put a hole in the bottom of each egg crate cell and then allow the “bottom” of the cell to be the top of the candle. This method also gives you a narrower top and wider base, which reduces the risk of the candle tipping over as it burns.
7. Sort and Store Small Objects
There are literally hundreds of ways to use egg crates to sort and store small objects. You can arrange the trays in platforms and label each cell, or simply spread them out to suit your needs. Depending on the size of the items, you may be able to simply close the lid and store the box away until you need the items in it. If the items inside are very small, you will have to seal off each cell so that they do not got jumbled up again when the box is shaken or moved. To seal off the cells, attach clear plastic to the edges of each cell using tape or glue.
8. Ice Cube Trays
Styrofoam trays make good sized ice cubes that can be used for many purposes other than adding to drinks. For example, if you do not have a freezer, simply add some ice to the salt in a chest and then bury anything that needs to be remain frozen in the mixture. Make sure that all items placed in the chest are double wrapped so there is no risk of contamination.
9. Packing Material
You can use egg crates in the bottom and sides of boxes to take up extra space, or cut up the cells to create more shock absorbers within the box. Remember that even though you may not be packing away food supplies or other sensitive items, it is still best to sterilize the crates before use. You could also seal the objects in airtight plastic so that you can avoid bacterial contamination as much as possible.
10. Yarn Organizers
When it comes to durable, stylish, comfortable clothing, garments made from yarn are some of the best you can find. In a similar way, rugs, wall hangings that act as insulators, blankets, and many other staples are best made from yarn. No matter whether you are in a crisis situation or not, there is always a desire to create patterns using multi-colored yarns or multiple strands to produce different textures and patterns.
As someone that has spent many hours weaving, knitting, crocheting, and braiding, I can tell you that keeping yarn organized can be a difficult task. Egg crates are ideal for this purpose because you can easily keep up to twelve strands of yarn sorted out using just one carton.
All you need to do is poke holes in the bottom of each cell in the egg crate. Do not separate the cells. Next, position the ball or skein of yarn so that the yarn feeds into the cup part of each cell. Use one strand of yarn per cell. Now all you have to do is start working on your project. The egg crate will keep the strands sorted out so that they do not get knotted up.
More than a few people feel that egg crates can only be used for disposable craft products or other projects that have little tangible survival. Others only see egg crates as a disease vector that should be discarded as quickly as possible.
Even if you do not want to use egg crates for prepping at this time, keep the suggestions listed in this article in mind. You will know a little bit about how to reduce the risk of having problems with them, and how best to use them.
Do you know other uses for egg crates? Share them into comment section below!

20003767 – road sign stating gun free zone
Of all the groups of people harmed most by gun control, none are as obvious as children. Not only are children senselessly murdered in gun free zones, kidnapped and tortured, the anti-gun movement hides behind the innocence of children and uses them as emotional triggers.
If we are ever to liberate our nation and the world from the waste and horror caused by gun control, we must have clear understandings about how these laws hurt children, and how we must change not just our government, but global governing bodies as well.
Gun Free Zones are Deadly to Children
Did you know that the very first modern day massacre of children happened in a gun free zone and was carried out by a child?
In less than a year from the passage of the amended Gun Free School Zone Act, Barry Loukaitis murdered two classmates and one teacher. Barry was just 14 years old, but he ushered in the era of children murdering children with the blessing of the federal laws and other gun control laws across the nation.
This and other cases of children (under age 21) murdering children in gun free zones right here in the US include:
Aside from every one of these murders happening in a federally mandated gun free zone, let us not forget that, according to federal law, in almost all cases, it was also illegal for these children to have guns. No matter whether children murder children, or adults murder children, the fact remains that one law, two laws, hundreds of laws will not stop that tragedy from happening.
The fact that there was no one on the premises of these schools with a gun created more bloodshed, more ruin, and more horror. In every case, it required police, who had to get to the school, and then to the suspect before the rampage could be stopped WITH A GUN.
It is a universally known fact that the person on the scene first is going to be the one most likely to accomplish their agenda. When murderers want to be the first on the scene so that they can carry out their sick acts, it is patently obvious that they have picked, and will continue to pick gun free zones.
We Don’t Need Studies to Tell Us About the Children Murdered Because of Gun Control
If you think the loss of innocent lives in schools and other gun free zones is a horrific nightmare, then you may not realize much worse may be going on right in your back yard or up the street.
You see, while your children sleep, eat, and play in a home secured by loving, armed, and vigilant parents, other children are not so fortunate. These children are at the mercy of a system that doesn’t allow the parents to have guns because they are living in Section 8 housing, or some other law was passed to disarm people group by group.
And, as you may well know, many of these parents are poor to begin with because the very same people that promote gun control are also the ones driving our jobs overseas and taxing our nation to death.
If that’s not a disgusting way of using money to disarm the nation and violate our Second Amendment rights, I don’t know what is!
Video first seen on Indiana State Police Information Channel.
Gun Control Doesn’t Limit Itself to Killing America’s Children
Since 2007, a whopping 22% of recognized countries in this world have experienced one or more terrorist attacks at the hand of radical Islamic terrorists, and most of those countries had more than one attack in any given year. To make a list of all the children murdered in these attacks and point out all of the places with strict gun control is a heartbreaking exercise.
For the moment, let’s focus on 3 of the worst terrorist tragedies overseas involving children slaughtered in gun free zones or nations with strict gun control.
Nigeria
Two of the worst massacres of children at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists occurred in Nigeria. The first occurred on December 13, 2014, and was carried out by Boko Haram. At least 35 people were murdered, and almost 200 women and children are missing to this day. According to the country page for Nigeria at gunpolicy.org, this country is listed as “permissive” insofar as gun rights.
Unfortunately for the anti-gunners, anyone with half a brain that clicks on the citation for that will see that the article quoted was published in 1969. If you scroll down and look a the more modern information, you will see that Nigeria is a textbook example of what gun grabbers want to do to this country.
When gun control was imposed on Nigeria in 1990, it became illegal for citizens to own machine guns, hand guns, and “military rifles”. This situation shows so clearly how gun laws only serve to limit non-criminals such as the innocent men, women, and children that were left at the mercy of well armed terrorists.
To add insult to injury, not one father, not one mother of these missing children has a gun with which to defend themselves from future attacks. It is no wonder that Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations are sitting back laughing as they rape these girls and torture them. Not only did they get away with it, but they know they can get away with it over and over again in every country and area where gun control makes it impossible for people to defend themselves.
Nigeria. Again
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Boko Haram, did, in fact, strike twice at the children of Nigeria. This time, they didn’t just “hit and run”. Beginning on January 3, 2015, and ending on January 7th, Boko Haram once again thumbed their noses at gun control after overrunning a military base. Once the only viable guns in the area were neutralized, Boko Haram slaughtered thousands, including innocent women and children.
No matter how much the governments try to reduce the numbers with conflicting fatality reports, the fact remains that 17 towns are gone, and thousands of people remain missing. Clearly, if the people of these villages had guns, we would have far more terrorists laying around dead. When it comes to the harmful impact of gun control on children, Nigeria is one of the best cases because it clearly shows the opportunistic nature of terrorists and how they will strike again and again at any area they see as weak.
Pakistan
An elementary school was attacked on December 16, 2014, resulting in the murder of 132 children. In order to stop the bloodshed, the Pakistani military had to intervene in order to save almost 1000 more lives.
According to the country page for Pakistan at gunpolicy.org, once, Pakistan is also listed as “permissive” insofar as gun rights. On the surface, civilians are allowed to own just about any kind of gun, however, all guns must be registered with the government. Unfortunately, this link fails to show the truth about how gun control helped murder those 132 children.
You see, in Pakistan, schools are gun free zones, just as they are here in the United States. As with every other nation on Earth, terrorists will attack and kill in any building or location where they know law abiding people won’t be carrying guns, because they know they can get away with it. Even though Pakistani forces eventually caught the terrorists that attacked the school, there is no bringing those children back, and every terrorist planning an attack knows gun free zones are the best places of all to spread terror and fear.
So What Do We Do About “Gun Violence”?
If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that the murder of innocent children must stop. I would certainly love to believe that a law restricting guns could fix all of this, however the test of time and case after case proves that laws will not solve this problem.
If children aren’t slaughtered with guns, they will be slaughtered with trucks full of fertilizer, poison gas, and anything else that terrorists can get their hands on. From that perspective, I feel the answer cannot be found in limiting the rights of citizens. Rather, the answer is found in expanding them. Here’s what I feel would reduce “gun violence” and the slaughter of children here and around the world:
Far to many people today have been brainwashed into believing that guns are only of use in a gunfight. Nevertheless, even in the recent terror attack in Nice, France, the police had to use guns to stop the slaughter of innocent people.
Guns can, and are used to stop terror attacks and crime sprees of every kind, regardless of the weapons used by the attacker. When guns are only in the hands of the police and military, it is the children that suffer.
As we have seen in the US, France, Germany, Pakistan, Nigeria, and every other nation on Earth, guns aren’t going to magically disappear because laws are made against them. The only thing that disappears is personal safety and the safety of our children.
In this election season, Donald Trump is the only presidential candidate willing to give even a slight inkling of how dangerous the “gun controlled” world is. He is also the only candidate willing to get rid of “gun free zones” and admit that they are worse than a failure. Even if you disagree with Trump on everything else, this one issue is the most important litmus test of all.
No nation can be free of crime and terror when citizens are disarmed. No child can be safe in a school not guarded by guns. Shameful as it may be, this is the condition of the nation and world we live in today. To deny that for the sake of gun control, I feel, is the kind of ignorance and selfishness that lead to the destruction of us all.
Each time you hear different, just look at the growing list of terror attacks throughout the world and their magnitude and let your own eyes be the judge of just how serious these problems are.
