RUMORS swirling say "Martial Law discussions over a banking system failure." are the reason President Obama and Vice President Biden are to meet with Fed. Chair Janet Yellen today after the Federal Reserve's Emergency Meeting this morning. In the history of the United States, it has never before taken place that both the President AND Vice President meet "unexpectedly" with the Federal Reserve. Speculation is already flowing all over Washington, DC that it may have something to do with "the survival of the government." Members of the House and Senate are said to have been "up all night" in discussions...

G'mornin folks. There was a thread a day or so back about pistols (Military switching to Glocks). Good thread all in and all. I wanted to post this thread to get some general conversation going about where you shop for your warez, places to "watch out" for and where the good prices are at. Also, tips are welcome on ammo storage, prepping and any items/gear to prolong our sidearms and rifles should "the lights go out".

G'evening folks...Just a bit of HOWTO this evening if anyone is inclined.. My furnace started acting up on me two days ago. It would run for about 90 seconds then cut out; blower still ran, then rinse and repeat. I did quite a bit of the googles and came to find it was either a thermostat (main) or a limit switch. Welp, replaced the thermostat (I'll post later in this thread about those interesting findings) and same results. Had to order the L150-40F limit switch because no store around me would sell to the "general public" and the home stores...

Hello all.. I was hoping someone in FR land might have run across this problem I am having with my Grand Cherokee. First, the vehicle. 2010 Grand Cherokee Laredo 10400 miles on it No major issues since I have had the vehicle, no accidents on report for the vehicle. Last week I got off work, hopped in and the vehicle started right up. Got home and decided to double back out. Got to my destination no problem. Come out and the vehicle wont start. I get dash lights, all the power windows, AC/Heater; everything seems to work fine but it...

From 2011. A video about EMP weapons and Iran's intent. I thought it was interesting that the alarm has been sounding with those paying attention and look where we are today... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8GTn01n18

...Israel needs to impart a powerful, disorganizing shock to the Iranian regime that accomplishes realistic military objectives: digging out its expensive underground enrichment plants, destroying its Arak plutonium reactor and maybe Bushehr in the bargain, killing its bomb and missile professionals, scientists and technicians, IRGC bases, its oil production sites, oil export terminals and the leaders of the regime where they can be found. ...its initial strike must move very fast and be conclusive within 1-2 hours, like the Israeli air attack opening the 1967 Six-Day War. The goal is to so stun the regime that Israel controls the first...

News broke last week that Chinese hackers had compromised computer databases belonging to the Office of Personnel Management. On the surface, reports of the Obama administration scrambling to contain the damage done by having this information exposed may not make sense. Is it really that big a deal if the Chinese stole lists of government employees? It is when the list is of Americans with top-secret security clearances. According to SOFREP sources, it isn’t just benign human-resources-type information that was stolen, but also lists of active CIA personnel and information pertaining to front companies used as commercial cover by the...

In a recent interview for his book Aftershock, Wiedemer says, “The data is clear, 50% unemployment, a 90% stock market drop, and 100% annual inflation . . . starting as soon as next year.” When the host questioned such wild claims, Wiedemer unapologetically displayed shocking charts backing up his allegations, and then ended his argument with, “You see, the medicine will become the poison.” The interview has become a wake-up call for those unprepared (or unwilling) to acknowledge an ugly truth: The country’s financial “rescue” devised in Washington has failed miserably.

Hiya folks, hope everyone is having a good Sunday and enjoying the run up to the "game" (do you all have your football psi readers on hand??). So, I was watching an episode of "Through the Wormhole" (leaving politics out of it) and the opener for Season 5 Episode 10, Morgan Freeman proceeds to say that the Saudi's think it is the 15th century and Israel thinks it is the 58th. So, I post here because after some googling, I am looking for some solid links into understanding why these discrepancies (and yes, I understand it will be lots of...

Just curious where other freepers get their contact lenses online? My tow kids are now both sporting contacts and I am looking for reputable sites that will deliver to my home for the best price. Can anyone lend their experience?

I don't know too much about Jim Rickards, just found this to be an interesting video about the overall economy and some tidbits about what our government agencies are up to. The video is a 45 minutes long interview of sorts and discussion. Just posting in the event other are interested.

A major problem with the H-1B debate is the absence of displaced IT workers in news media accounts. Much of the reporting is one-sided -- and there's a reason for this. An IT worker who is fired because he or she has been replaced by a foreign, visa-holding employee of an offshore outsourcing firm will sign a severance agreement. This severance agreement will likely include a non-disparagement clause that will make the fired worker extremely cautious about what they say on Facebook, let alone to the media. On-the-record interviews with displaced workers are difficult to get. While a restrictive severance...

(CNN) -- In swaths of Syria now controlled by ISIS, children can no longer study math or social studies. Sports are out of the question. And students will be banned from learning about elections and democracy. Instead, they'll be subjected to the teachings of the radical Islamist group. And any teacher who dares to break the rules "will be punished."

Operating with cutting-edge technology out of a trailer in rural Illinois, government researchers started today on a set of experiments that they say will help them determine whether or not you and me and everything that exists are living in a two-dimensional holographic universe. It sounds completely off-the-walls insane, but the incongruities between Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and some of Max Planck's discoveries about the nature of matter can only be explained if we're living in a Matrix-style holographic illusion, according to Craig Hogan, director of the Department of Energy's Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics. ..... If so, that...

A new report released in the Kremlin today by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is stating that the reason(s) for President Obama’s “mysterious and unscheduled” return to the White House this weekend is due the United States facing an “apocalyptic attack” from an estimated 3,000 “Ebola Martyrs” who are already in America and warned are “ready to strike”. According to this report, SVR intelligence analysts became aware of the attack planned by these “Ebola Martyrs” against the US from their “monitoring” of a Islamic State (IS) [also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the...

PA freepers.. What is the process of transferring ownership between two private parties. I have my original form that shows I am the owner. The form is filled out through Item E. Item F has "TRANSFEROR'S/SELLER'S INFORMATIN OR EXPLANATION FOR NONTAXABLE SALES". What is needed to legally transfer ownership of a handgun with this form? OR, do I need to go to an FFL? I am a bit confused how I can legally transfer a gun to another person legally who is also legally qualified (have their own guns and have been background checked for their own previous purchases)..

The catastrophic effects of an electromagnetic pulse-caused blackout could be preventable, but experts warn the civilian world is still not ready. Peter Vincent Pry, executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards, said the technology to avoid disaster from electromagnetic pulses exists, and upgrading the nation’s electrical grid is financially viable. “The problem is not the technology,” Pry said. “We know how to protect against it. It’s not the money, it doesn’t cost that much. The problem is the politics. It always seems to be...

So I am thinking seriously about moving to Phoenix. I have lots of job opportunities out there but am at a loss of the topology as of current. I have a friend out there in Maricopa and he loves it. I will have to rent to start off so I am looking for decent rent for a 3 bdr. Looking for a quiet place or as quiet as I can get it. I currently commute an hour one way. So long as I can keep that, I am open to quite a bit of travel I believe. Also, and this...

I thought today was the day the Cold Case Posse was to reveal some ground breaking information on Obama's past / citizenship? I don't know if www.mcsoccp.org/‎ is the site or not, if it is, it has been hacked. Anyone have some info?
