There is a discussion on the "Lifeboat Strategy" book. I have bought this book and it is pretty good. The discussion is around 35 minutes and touches on the generalities of offshoring yourself. The site "International Man" is worth reading everyday if you are interested in this type of stuff.

Expecting that someday soon the Internet as we know it will cease to exist, I have been slowly but surely amassing my own survival library. Once they finally pull the plug we will only have the personal knowledge gained and our reference materials to guide us through the coming "dark ages." Today, I can go online, conduct a google search and get nearly any question I have answered. Tomorrow, I may have to consult those dusty tomes on my book shelf or improvise.

Nuclear War Preparedness

Snippet from Prepare: Nuclear War Preparedness

" ... First, dispel the notions that the world will immediately come to an end. Google "Creason Kearney's Surviving Nuclear War". This book was written by a researcher at the Oak Ridge Nuclear Facility in Knoxville, TN. Kearney spent years researching the outcome of nuclear conflict during the Cold War and the affects on society. Based upon his research Kearney made several proposals, many of them small protection steps normal Americans could do which he tested, for preparing and surviving a nuclear attack on the United States.

When this report was released in the 1980's, it was promptly attacked and debunked by the media and others with little if any knowledge of nuclear technology or the effects of radiation. Rather, it was tossed out in favor of the nuclear freeze movement of the time. Too bad. The information, while dated, is still relevant.

Don't forget, when it was written, the U.S. was staring down the barrel of the Soviet Union which was targeting thousands of multi-megaton weapons at nearly all of our cities and military installations. The situation today, while dangerous, does not have as grave of outcome as then.

BOOK AND MOVIE REVIEW

Usually on holidays when I don’t work I don’t post any articles. However, I know that without my guidance you are cast out upon a dark and stormy sea and I wouldn’t want to subject you to that. Plus, I had to come in for a few hours for food pick ups anyway. So I threw this together on Sunday and will pre-post it for publication at the usual time. I know, please don’t thank me all at once. I cast my pearls before you with only the noblest motivations.
