NEWS ALERT: Congress & The White House targeting Fox News and the Internet. Concerted efforts are being undertaken to "discredit" Fox News in a preemptory move to silencing any & all opposition. Apparently, the First Amendment only applies if you agree with the current administration. At the same time, the current (and previous) government is pushing hard for "Internet Neutrality." I admit that I do not really understand the ins-and-outs of the net neutrality scheme except for this: GOVERNMENT needs to stay out of it. Any time the government exercises any degree of control or influence over a Right, that "Right" becomes a nothing more than a "privilege" which may be allowed or denied at the whim of those in power.

Added a few pages (from survival library books) to Aquaculture & Fish Farming

NEWS ALERT: If you do not have (at least) 6 Months of food stored, you MUST go out and get it NOW! It does not have to be the expensive "survival food" - all you need is canned, packaged and dry goods from your grocer or Sam's/Costco. The U$ Dollar is being grossly manipulated. If it crashes and we experience hyperinflation, it will be too late to run out and stock up when the collapse is happening. It will take at least 6 months to re-establish a sound currency (depending on who is running things) and having this supply will tide you over the worst of it. You might consider a seasons worth of seeds for vegetables and herbs, as well. Worst case (if nothing happens) - you won't have to go shopping as often. Buy what you would normally eat anyway. Stay away from perishable or refrigerated/frozen foods - if the dollar is worthless, you might lose your power because you can't pay the utilities. You might also stock up on alternative fuels/methods for cooking without electricity or gas. Those who can, may consider investing in barter goods. See:
Barter Items Discussion & Suggestions and Goods for Barter and Barter & Trade

Fixed some broken links in the Basic First Aid Section Added a couple of pdf files to this section: Wound Care and Wilderness First Aid (Thanks to Joe B. for identifying bad links and finding good ones)

Still working on making the preview pages available for Survival Library titles. All titles are available for inclusion whether previewed or not.

NEWS ALERT: List of ‘Organically’ Created iParticipate Television Programs by Big Hollywood: I plan on boycotting all of these show and whipping off an e-Mail to each expressing my outrage at their participation in government (socialist) propaganda. I may even cc: their advertisers as well.
