Like it or not, we are all “doomsday preppers” to some extent

Fernando Kaskais

How many tins of beans make a stockpile, and when does a basement become a bunker?  KEY TAKEAWAYS by Jonny Thomson Most people look sideways at “doomsday preppers.” Consider this: You walk into someone’s house and see wall-to-wall tins of beans, a huge underground bunker, and an arsenal large enough to invade a small nation. You’d probably make a break for the exit. “Prepping” is the phenomenon where people prepare — and possibly even hope — for the end of the world. They are the off-grid survivalists who take hoarding to the next level. And, in an age of global pandemics and pariah … Continue reading Like it or not, we are all “doomsday preppers” to some extent

Fernando Kaskais

by David F. Clark Black Belt Magazine Drilling will take you and your students a long way toward becoming better martial arts technicians, but it’s not all you need. The psychological guidelines presented here are essential to efficient learning. How many side kicks have you performed? How many thousands of punches have you thrown? Why did you do so many? While simultaneously pursuing a master’s degree in clinical psychology and a black belt, I found psychology’s answers to many of my martial arts questions. One reason for repeating a technique many times comes from physiological learning theories. When you perform … Continue reading Better Martial Arts Through Psychology: A Concise Guide to Improving Your Techniques

NORMAL HAS FAILED. BE AS WEIRD AS YOU LIKE.

Fernando Kaskais

by Caitlin Johnstone, Guest Waking Times Consumerism is unsustainable. Competition is unsustainable. Imperialism is unsustainable. Our species is standing on the brink of an extinction-level event due to ecosystemic collapse or nuclear war, and it is because of the way that we have lived on this planet up until this point. If we keep moving in this direction we will go the way of the dinosaur in the not-too distant future and take most terrestrial life with us. Maybe even all of it. The imperfect and immature nature of our newly evolved capacity for language and abstract thought, combined with our … Continue reading NORMAL HAS FAILED. BE AS WEIRD AS YOU LIKE.

How to Cut Your Own Hair

Fernando Kaskais

After years of practice, it’s a skill I’ll never let go of. by ADAM HARRIS Magic shave powder smells like sulfur, a fetid perfume. They call it Magic because it keeps the razor bumps away. Black men have used it for more than a century to keep the coarse hair jutting from their faces from curling back into their skin. You whip it to a froth in a cup, slather it on your face, and wipe it clean with a butter knife. My granddad used the Magic that comes in the red-and-white can—extra strength. He lived in a single-story ranch-style shotgun … Continue reading How to Cut Your Own Hair

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM BURGLARS, ACCORDING TO BURGLARS

Fernando Kaskais

And then fact-checked by a security expert, because we don’t trust nobody  by Ian Lecklitner The burglary numbers show that burglars love to burgle in December, when people are either away for the holidays and/or hoarding expensive, stealable gifts in their homes. In an attempt to help you protect your abode from these Christmas-killing scoundrels, I decided to ask some retired and imprisoned burglars what precautions they might suggest someone take to defend their precious goods from people like them. It went horribly!  Several outright refused to speak with me; one informed me that I “have no idea” about “that life”; another … Continue reading HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM BURGLARS, ACCORDING TO BURGLARS

The Shocking Doomsday Maps Of The World And The Billionaire Escape Plans

Fernando Kaskais

Future map of the United States by Gordon- Michael Scallion  MATRIX INSTITUTE by Jim Dobson  When I wrote my first article on billionaire bunkers years ago, I never would have imagined how quickly our world was changing.

Between the increase of bizarre weather patterns hitting the earth, and recent major volcanic activity, now more than ever our focus is on our planets future. In the early 1980’s, spiritual visionaries and futurists provided clues to our changing planet.

Bad food will kill you: Poor diet number one cause of death, chronic disease worldwide

Fernando Kaskais

by: Edsel Cook (Natural News) Many preppers may not realize that the greatest threat to their survival isn’t a natural disaster or malevolent humans. It is an unhealthy diet, the leading cause of early death and chronic diseases. Researchers from The Global Burden of Disease Study evaluated the risk factors for premature deaths. They observed the diets of people in 195 countries from 1990 until 2017. The researchers paid particular attention to the presence and levels of 15 different types of food and nutrients in a diet. Published in the journal The Lancet, their findings showed that a bad diet causes more early deaths and diseases than … Continue reading Bad food will kill you: Poor diet number one cause of death, chronic disease worldwide
