He covers both the illegals and those sketchy Africans that got dumped on the state by Obozo.
He basically says that because of these people coming in that Americans are being moved to the back of the line or getting dumped on waiting lists because the social services are being given to these newcomers instead.

It will make you want to build the Wall yourself.
This book has a considerable amount of information of interest to preppers. Although it’s unlikely an American city will be besieged by poorly equipped foreign troops using Cold War era surplus gear, it’s possible similar conditions could be created by an extended off-grid experience in a medium sized coastal city that is partially resupplied from overseas.
Takeaways from the book include:
1) The residents of Sarajevo were completely unprepared for the war. Until the week the siege started, most believed the war could be averted and people went about their daily lives oblivious to the coming war. Almost no one had supplies or food stockpiled. When the Serbs moved into the hills around Sarajevo, many people rushed out and stockpiled FROZEN food which of course spoiled when the power was cut.
2) The Muslim controlled government seized firearms from the residents at the start of the war to prevent “terrorism”. The real intent may have been to arm the pathetically out-gunned Bosnian army. Either way, most of the residents lacked firearms during the siege.
3) Power, water and gas were generally unavailable although electricity and natural gas were occasionally available. Essential government offices such as police stations or hospitals had some electricity and people who “knew someone” could run wires from the buildings to their homes to pirate a few kilowatts.
4) Residents rigged up makeshift heaters and stoves and burned anything they could find including furniture and books. In the cold Sarajevian winter, temperatures averaged 40F indoors. Despite the use of unsafe heating methods there is no mention of carbon dioxide poisoning or widespread fires.
5) Hepatitis due to bad water was common although there is no mention of other serious disease outbreaks. Waste disposal wasn’t discussed although the sewer system appears to have been partially functioning even though the water system was mostly down. Residents bathed by pouring water over themselves while standing in a tub and by and large generally maintained hygiene.
6) During the first few weeks of the siege, life continued on more or less normally. When the shelling picked up, government services such as the ambulance service soon became overwhelmed. Despite the conditions, the police force, hospitals and fire department remained in operation throughout the war, although at diminished capacity. Schools functioned intermittently. Government workers were paid in nearly worthless Bosnian dinars but, other than those few able to leave the city, remained on the job.
7) Throughout the siege, foreign aid tricked into the city, so the residents had basic rations, even if sometimes they had to eat Vietnam War era biscuits supplied by the USA. Pre-war Sarajevians were apparently a portly group but their pre-war obesity may have prevented starvation. One resident’s weight reportedly dropped from 300 lb. to 180 lb. Despite the basic food aid, many residents suffered from vitamin deficiencies. Later in the siege, many people began growing vegetables in their yard or purchased chickens for eggs.
8) By and large, the residents of Sarajevo behaved themselves. The author doesn’t record any instances of rioting, looting or other serious criminal behavior although there was a black market. Residents shared small amounts of rations with widows and old people. I’m not sure Americans would behave as well in a similar situation.
9) There was a major baby-boom during the siege. I guess people had nothing else for entertianment.
10) The Bosnian economy collapsed and the Bosnian dinar became nearly worthless. German Deutsche marks became the only accepted currency. For reasons not explained, American dollars were not accepted as currency. Prices for non-aid goods such as cigarettes, candy bars and fresh fruit soared to levels out of reach of the average person. Prices fluctuated wildly depending on aid shipments and the degree to which the Serbs enforced the siege. There was no mention of gold or silver being used as currency even though Sarajevo had a tradition of gold smithing. Cigarettes were used at times as currency.
This book should not be considered a “must read” for preppers. It doesn’t contain detailed instructions for surviving a semi-off grid situation in a major city but it does show that large numbers of completely unprepared people can survive a prolonged SHTF situation with some outside help. I bought my copy for about $10 on Kindle. The book was a finalist for several major literary awards so you can probably borrow a copy from a larger library. It’s worth reading if you have time.

My Wolff spring came today. I started to take the bolt apart ... hmm, that's weird, where's the thing you push up to rotate the shroud? Well, there it comes, and ....
... Instead of a firing pin with spring, what came out was a firing pin in a metal sleeve. The spring was inside the upper part of the sleeve. I pulled the spring out. It came in a larger piece and a smaller (1-inch) piece. I then got my new spring and compared. The old spring is much smaller in diameter than the K98 spring. 
I remembered something about Chinese Mausers (really Austrian Mausers, but purchased by a Chinese warlord) having some oddities in their bolts along these lines. After some Web searching, I believe what I have is a Manchurian Type 13 bolt in a VZ.24 gun.
While it seems strange on the surface, I can imagine how it might have happened. The combloc loaned a lot of WWII guns including VZ.24 Mausers to allies and satellite states, some of which were in Asia. And, China being Communist, it's entirely likely that the viet kong or other client group had Type 13 and VZ.24 Mausers, and did some mix and match from what they had. Or, it could be a more recent mixup of milsurp parts in or on their way to the U.S. market.
Anyway:
1 - Is this configuration safe to shoot? Now I ask, after having shot several rounds before the spring broke. (Maybe the spring broke for a reason, though.)
2 - If yes, what spring do I need to replace the broken Type 13 firing pin spring?
3 - If no, any suggestions for what to do? I could sell the Type 13 bolt and buy a different bolt, and hope it headspaces ok ...
Thanks.
In my years I've put down a few pets including a cow, she was tasty. Like others have said I'd rather do it myself, peaceful and without strangers to excite your pet. Some can do it other can't, yeah I leaked a few tears over past dogs but Life is what it is. I haven't had a Dog in a couple years, the last one I had was poisoned by a neighbor I cant prove he done it but I'm pretty sure he done it, either way he's a bastard like that and he's lucky there's laws against taking a 2x4 to some body's head.
Buds has the Colt M1A4 for about $1050. All the reviews I have read are good.
Local gun shop has what they call a post ban HBAR in 556 with the Colt scope on the carry handle and an unusual flash suppressor on it for 1200 used.
Any reason one is better than the other? I’m leaning towards the M1A4 since it is new and cheaper. Just wasn’t sure if the HBAR is that much more accurate to be worth it.
Appreciate the feedback.

America will be embracing socialism soon as the people don't see any other alternative. Be honest, with the robots taking the jobs and more and more people ending up homeless, why wouldn't they? They will never get a penny from the reps, so they look to the dems. The reps only support the rich. As a price to pay for handouts, the dems will take their guns and hand out gov cheese.
The reps are really delusional. They say don't tax the rich, they will make more jobs. All the rich do is buy more production in China or invest it in stocks, bonds, RE or whatever.
You know all our illegal problem is due to greedy capitalism. Most profit, cheapest labor = illegals. Same with China and with all out jobs going overseas. The thing that most rich don't understand is they have to go out in the world once in awhile, the world that their greed has destroyed for the vast majority of the population.
In the old days the reason America was America was, there was no China and no illegal problem to speak of. It was All-American production and jobs.
America as we have known it is gone. America has an impressive façade of skyscrapers, but when you start looking beneath the exterior it is a mess. America was built on a Ponzi scheme, a scheme of constant consumption and never ending growth. Sooner or later the Ponzi scheme blows up.
Sure, you will still have successes, rag to riches story in America. But after the robots kill off 40% of the jobs, these Americans will be happy to be able to afford living a closet and being able to buy some dog food to eat...and it will prob me made in China too.
I mentioned medical costs in the beginning. Let me give you an idea of how things have changed in America before healthcare wad a greedy, big biz operation. When I was a kid in the 1960s I cut my hand. I went to the emergency room in L.A. I got 2 stiches. The bill was $20. A lady told me last year she slipped at home, hit her head and cut it. She went to the emergency room. They put in 2 staples, gave her a cat scan and sent her home after 3 hours. They sent her a bill for $7,000.
If we were ants or bees we could be good communists. But self-centered humans can't do it, greed, ego and a natural power hungry inclination to try and control others and keep them under your thumb preclude humans from being good communists. Well, we will have to see how it all turns out.
We saw what the dems gave us for 'socialized medicine' last time around. A heavy fine for not being able to afford exorbitant healthcare costs. The greedy American healthcare system will never want their golden calf killed-off. They can print $$ by creating whatever costs 'they say' are the costs. If you wanted to do socialized medicine you would have to have it exist alongside the greedy American system 'to be American.' But the greedy American system would lose too much $ and won't go for it - they want a monopoly. Plus who would run it??? Our politicians are ALL incompetent.
... maybe we can hire China, Cuba or Mexico to come over and do our medical for .10 on the dollar?

Aggie JokeAn Aggie walked into a bar and orderer a tequilla and a beer. He drank the beer and poured the tequilla on his right hand. Then he ordered another round and did the exact same thing. This went on for a few more rounds and finally the curious bartender said ,"Son, I'm not trying to be nosy but why the heck are you drinking your beer but pouring the tequilla on your hand"? The Aggie held up his right hand and said "Mister, this here is my date tonight and I'm trying to get her drunk."

Jesus was referring to Daniel 7.
Quote:
| Dan 7:13* I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.* Dan 7:14* And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.* |
When Jesus calls himself the son of man 83 times, He is claiming to be both Human and God.
The Humanity part of Jesus is required for Him to be the Savior of mankind. Lets go all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were the ancestors of all mankind. Everyone inherited the sin nature from Adam.
Quote:
| 1Co 15:21* For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.* 1Co 15:22* For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.* |
Quote:
| Rom 5:12* Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:Rom 5:19* For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. |
Jesus was not part of Adams inheritance as the sin nature is passed from the father to the children. Adam was the first human with a sin nature and passed it down to all. Jesus was the first human (God in the flesh with a human mother) without a sin nature (completely righteous) and passes that down to anyone who trust Him and believed He died on the cross, was buried and resurrected. Mary had a sin nature from her father but could not pass it to Jesus, else Jesus would have it and would not be sinless, righteous and would have to pay for His own sin. He could not have then been the Savior. Jesus had to human to be able to pay for human sins. But not His own because He is righteous.
Quote:
| Joh 1:12* But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:* |
So Jesus emphasized His humanity by calling himself son of man (a reference to Daniel 7 as well) to underscore His ability to pay for human sin. The Jewish pharisees and scribes would have understood the Daniel 7 reference and would have become more incensed because Jesus was referencing His Messiah-ship and humanity each time He called Himself "son of man."
So when He did use this term, He was not indicating He was not God.
2Ti 2:15* Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Check it out yourself.
In a complex system such as our planet's weather patterns, there are various causes and effects. Climate scientist argue that if the overall temperature of the entire planet increases, that change could cause lower temperatures in some parts of the world. This makes sense as a theory.
The reason I don't give the theory any credence is lack of evidence linking human activity with global climate change.
Cold weather does not mean global warming is not happening...it's actually evidence that it is....or could be happening.
The facts in question are what is causing it?, is it normal?, is there anything we can actually do to affect it either way?

I keep a Zero degree sleeping bag in the back of my SUV all winter long. I got stuck in a ditch on a snowy back road in my early 20's, and had to spend most of the night and early morning in my truck. This was before cellphones became prevalent. Finally, at around 3am, my father came looking for me, knowing which roads I would have taken to get to my destination. I didn't have anything but a couple of carhart coats with me at the time. It was a cold night. That sleeping bag I now carry with me in the winter would have made my stranded situation much more comfortable.
Saw this news article and thought to myself it was only a matter of time.
In my experience, Taxi Cabs have always been ex-police cars with a partition separating the driver from the passenger.
I have to admit, I got stuck overnight in Chicago 2 years ago flying home to Springfield MO. I missed my connection as I got stuck in customs. I called a buddy and asked I could spend the night at his place.
He's like sure, just call an Uber. I got a taxi instead as working overseas, I'm behind the times on most of this modern stuff, and don't have Lyft or Uber loaded on my not-so-smart phone.
Question for the forum - do you Uber / use Lyft? Have you ever used this service?

Then get your bob together. Start with covering fire, water and shelter. Look at many other lists for other good items, but always start with square one.
Next build up tools you'll need. Axes, hatchets, shovels, etc. As well as regular tools.
Then a second firearm and ammo. A long gun or shotgun would be best. Then I'd get a machete or two or another blade
Then stock up on food and water.
I'm in the same boat myself more or less.
As a high school graduation present mom and dad bought me a S&W Model 66 just like dads; it is one of my most prized possessions. At the time just about all police officers carried a revolver. Dad told me it was because of reliability and the power of the 357 magnum.
A few years later, let's say around 1984, a buddy of mine showed me his dads 1911 - with his dads permission of course. We went behind the house and fired off a few rounds. If I remember right, the 1911 was a Colt and looked pretty beat up.
Overall I was impressed with the 1911. It held seven rounds in the magazine, and one in the chamber for a total of eight. Besides holding two rounds more than the S&W Model 66, it was easier to reload.

Using an example from the modern science: if the whole Universe can exist in a place smaller than an atom and after the Big Bang can go as large as the dimensions it has now, then this is a good argument for my answer.
According to the Morakniv website, the company offers knives with three different types of steel - Carbon, Stainless, and Laminated carbon steel. Some descriptions on the stainless knives state they will not work with a ferro rod fire starter. From my tests, the 746 throws a spark just fine with my ferro rod fire starters.

In Texas you can paint your gate, and the corners of your property, purple and it means no trespassing. Anyone wanting to enter your property (utility worker, for instance) must knock on your door and get verbal permission.
I wish I could do that for my subdivision house! 
I love the system, however, I want to use a flush toilet, and I'm not sure if evaporation will go at a rate fast enough to evaporate the additional water in a flush. So, I came up with a hybrid system I'd like your opinions on:
When you flush your toilet the contents enters the solar chamber, and drops into a fine mesh basket to contain the solids, allowing the sun to evaporate the water. Excess fluids then exit the basket mesh into a traditional septic system. Note that the hybrid concept (image) was quickly created, so it's not perfectly configured, but the solar chamber should open up at the top to allow the basket to be removed.
I image some solids will enter the traditional septic, however, the amount should be very little that when it's time to pump out the contents it will be many years into the future.
Having never seen (smelled rather) it in action, I truly wonder the magnitude of smell..

But the long story made short. I thought of the .44 AMP in an AR format. A modded AR10 barrel and mag would work. I saw there was a company that made custom uppers for it. But I am wondering on a more massive scale how many people would like it?
I see it being cheaper than .458 or .450 due to the fact that .308 brass is everywhere. For home loaders that is.
This is all just to see what is out there in numbers of people interested. May have to talk to the boss man and get a prototype going.
We also talked about making a full stock version of the pistol. Keep the design just make it with a fixed stock or folder.
I am just looking for some insight from the people who would maybe buy one.
I'm considering any and all ways of building the structure, including: earthbags, reinforced concrete, timber, metal, or a combination of materials. To control moister, I am planning on encasing the entire shelter in pond liner and underlayment. Directly over the shelter, I will also lay out plastic sheeting to redirect the water outward and away from the structure.
I was considering earthbags (with rebar and barbed wire) with gravel footings, and a reinforced concrete bond beam and roof slab because I could extract gravel from the property for the footings and concrete (if I were to make the concrete) to reduce cost, but I don't think the land has 30% clay, and 70% sand for earthbags as deserts are usually sandy.
Any suggestions on how'd you do it (affordably) to support the vertical and lateral forces 5' underground?

Right now I'm going back to school and (hopefully) starting a part time job within a week. I hope to get my HAM license soon but I'd also like to set up this listening station too when time allows.
I've done a lot of research and succeeded in hopelessly confusing myself. I know I need an RTL-SDR USB dongle, but which one? I'd like to monitor HAM, CB, MURS, GMRS and FRS, in addition to aircraft and emergency services transmissions.
The second item is the computer aspect. I've read that some tablets can run SDRs and the related software but it kills battery in a hurry. I'd like for the computer component of the system to be compact and ruggedized, with at least a reasonable battery life. At least compact enough to load into a vehicle, I'm not going backpacking with the thing. The computer component can be dedicated to radio use, but if has the spare capacity to do other prepper stuff in the boonies that's good too.
Third is the antenna. I've gathered that if you're receiving only and not transmitting, antenna length is less important. I'm not worried about this aspect yet as the first two would need to be addressed first.
Any help at all, especially concerning SDR, is much appreciated.

Induction cooking requires more specialty cookware and is a less durable surface than I feel comfortable with, but it does cook better.
Being rated for induction doesn't automatically translate to being the best choice for an induction top. Be ready to buy a few more pans built with induction in mind.
Think of it as more difficult to get started with at the outset but you'll prefer the ease of cooking and cleanup once you get rolling.

Tilting a shipping container on its sideI am planning to buy a couple hundred bare root trees to plant on some property that I bought recently. I would like to grow them in pots for a couple more years to make a them a little more hardy - protect them against rodents, deer, etc. I was thinking of buying a shipping container and cutting 3 huge sections of the side out (about 80% of the side) and then turning it on the side so that the cut out side is now the roof. I can use it as a green house and then when the trees have matured, I can tip the container onto its bottom and use it for the intended use - half of a utility building, mated with another shipping container. Would this work?
Maybe also hot, but we don't have anything for a baseline to judge.
Was it a short runway? He might have been putting it down as early as he could to avoid over-running the end, given all that snow. God knows I endured quite a few "carrier landings" when US Scare was flying 727s out of Green airport in Providence, RI. If you over-ran runway 04 you went through a Burger King 200 yards across the perimeter road.

The usual, "live hidden in the middle of nowhere" seems to work as well for this as anything else.
Certainly would be a big problem if you where targeted and didn't know about it.
Luckily power storage is a giant bottleneck for this kind of technology so any attack wouldn't last long before all the drones becomes inoperable.
I'm contemplating on whether I need a vapor barrier between the concrete floor and the floor joists i.e. plastic
Next should I use pressure treated for the floor joists, after 9 years since I poured the floor will it still retain enough moisture to cause a problem?
Should I use faced or unfaced insulation in walls, floor, and/or ceiling?
I was hoping to build the entire room out of rough cut from my mill.

After all the equipment gets done(stumps, very basic leveling), you will have rocks all over. I’ve “chunked” more that 1 field. And you haven’t done any foundation and septic work yet.
Or your buying a established place that’s half woods and fields. Just wait till you bush hog the first time or cut hay. You will be picking up rocks. The land patent on this place was dated 1878(or 9?). And the farmers have been throwing rocks into the woods ever since.
Do you have a creek on your new property? Then you have some flat stone also, to go with all the field stone you have been picking up. And after every good rain, there will be more.
Which do you have more of, money or time?
Rocks are a real pain to deal with. I’ve been digging, picking up and moving, and making piles, for three years now. They have to be handled many times. They are free, but not cheap in terms of time, labor, tools for shaping and cutting, and hours of studying different types and styles of stone work.
Can or do you use rock/stone work at your BOL or retreat?
