The notes for this show will be very brief as it is simply a show dedicated to our Veterans with a background on why we celebrate Veteran’s Day on November, 11th.  They guns fell silent on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918″.  Yes it sounds cool but setting it up that way cost thousands of additional lives on World War 1!  Just one example of the sacrifices soliders make for the vanity of those in government.

We also announce our first sponsor of the listener appreciation contest today.  SOE Tactical Gear, tune in Friday to get a chance to win a tactical stocking like the ones shown below.

We will also talk about a new program I would like us to all consider participating in “Stockings for Soliders”.

Episode-87 Barack Obama Won - No the World Isn't Over [ 34:23 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I don’t know may be I am taking the Barack Obama victory better then most freedom loving, fiscally conservative Americans that love the U.S. Constitution.  Why?  I think it is like loosing a loved one to a tragic accident rather then a long term illness.  A lot of people opposed to Obama and many of his policies still thought McCain could win, I knew we were going to have President Obama the day it was clear we were going to have McCain as the Republican nominee.

No I am not happy and the prospect of a fully democratic controlled government but we don’t need to loose our heads here either.  Tune in today to hear…

  • How the clueless and unknowing put the president in power and how they are the most likely to turn against him.
  • Why we should be proud to have an African American president even if we disagree with his politics
  • This was democracy in action, in a democracy you don’t always get what you want
  • Why sweeping change won’t be priority one for Obama, he has learned the lessons of Bill Clinton
  • Why calling your congressmen and senators matters now more then ever
  • How we can unify and fight individual issues at the same time
  • 6 Economic Issues that are real threats that the democrats now have to deal with
  • Why gas is about to skyrocket due to Russian and Saudi interests
  • How President Obama is already being tested by the Russians
  • Why now is the time to just keep doing what you have been doing
  • No this is not the “end of America” unless you decide it is
  • Why I think John McCain was a Manchurian Candidate
  • Remember that what you do matters more then what anyone in the government does
  • Keep building your dream lifestyle

Episode-85 What if Nothing Goes Wrong [ 37:36 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This is a question I think many people in the survivalist community hear from those that tend to stereotype us all as separatist militia tin foil hat types. My view is that survivalists and survival philosophies take many forms.

Tune in today to hear…

  • How the lifestyle of a modern survivaist is not that much different then many typical people
  • Why survivalism makes sense even if society doesn’t fully break down ever
  • What living in the moment can teach us when we do it the right way
  • How planting seeds, shooting a pistol or fishing can teach us true focus
  • How survivalism is often about simply “being human”
  • Focusing on what you can control vs. what you have concern about
  • How you see more of a natural human state the further you get from large cities
  • Understanding our natural role on earth regardless of your religion or lack there of
  • How to decrease fear so you can make smarter and better decisions
  • How to develop your personal survival philosophy
