Episode-411- Rights - Responsibilities and Dependence [ 1:01:19 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we discuss the myth of the “safety net” that is touted by the media.  In doing so we will come to understand how deep dependence is among both the extremely affluent and extremely poor segments of society.  We will go deeper though and come to understand how the disconnect between rights and responsiblities are the root of the program.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • Free medical care is not enough – wait till you hear this!
  • Want a free cell phone get on Medicaid, Section 8, etc.  yes it is true
  • What the Medicaid program shows us about what will come from Government Health Care
  • Why in the future the sheeple who resisted the “Public Option” will beg for it
  • People in NYC who use ovens and refrigerators for closets – yes really!
  • The full court media press against “states rights”
  • The lies about states rights and when the Federal Government is required to intervene
  • Why each “right” must come with responsibilities
  • What responsibilities come with the “right to life”
  • What responsibilities come with the “right to liberty”
  • What responsibilities come with the “right to the pursuit of happiness”
  • Why understanding responsibilities and rights leads automatically to preparedness

Today I am at home and wanted to take the opportunity to do another listener feedback episode.  We discuss some political things today like China’s role in global government and the new health care bill that just came out of the senate.  We also discuss some more traditional topics like firearms selection and training, using swales for permaculture and we even get to read another “hate email” to me.

We also make a few announcements today that include our awesome new survival forum theme designed by SisterWolf who is also one of the forces behind the TSP Gear Shop.

Episode-276- Listener Questions for 9-14-09

Posted on September 14, 2009 by Modern Survival| 11 Comments
Episode-276- Listener Questions for 9-14-09 [ 1:02:11 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we do another round of listener questions on all kinds of stuff like alternative energy, gardening, real estate, bug out locations and more.

First let me take a moment to mention the sad passing of Linda Rawles (wife of James Wesley Rawles).  James have hugely contributed to the survivalist and prepper movement over the past few years.  Let me state as a husband myself that when a man gives this much his wife must give as well and his actions are driven as much by his passion to help others as to be a good husband and provider.  I can only imagine what it is like to loose the woman who is the love of your life.  Please think of James and send him your thoughts and prayers during this time.  (You can see James’ post about his loss on his blog here)

Second the audio today is not as good as usual (ironic as to my comments to aspiring podcasters today).  There is a setting on the recorder that got changed and I did not notice it until I got to my office.  I apologize but will be REMOVING COMMENTS asking me about the audio today since I have posted the reason for it already.  In addition to the accidentally changed setting part of today’s audio issue were the heavy rain pounding on the car.

Tune in today to hear me answer…

  • What will happen with the health care debate?  (please not NOT what I want to happen but what I think WILL HAPPEN and remember you guys asked, lots of you asked)
  • What does it mean if land is zoned “commercial” or more importantly when a commerical piece of land is selling WAY below market value, what can it teach us about buying land and real estate?
  • How the hell do you deal with squash groups?
  • Can social programs work at a very local government level?
  • What can you do for a garden if your yard is fully shaded?
  • Is it too late to start a garden in north for the fall, what crops are best for fall gardening?
  • What if someone owns the mineral rights to land you are considering buying?
  • What advice do I have for a person wanting to start up their own podcast?
  • How do you get your employer on board with disaster planning?
  • When it comes to green energy and food preps do the “ends justify the means”?
