Week 4 of The Colony on the Discovery Channel was full of felonies; we’ll get to those in a bit. Notwithstanding the crimes, the deluge and subsequent floods wrought Mother Nature, this episode focuses a good bit closer to home for all of us. Episode Four was all about Food. We love it, we need

For many years, Americans have enjoyed basic freedoms like freedom of speech... freedom to choose how they spend their money... and freedom to travel without restriction. But with each passing year, we see the rapid erosion of these freedoms.

For proof, look at what’s happened during the last few years...
The Amazing "Aztec Super-Food" Used By Top Survivalists For Mission-Critical Strength And Endurance!In the remote Copper Canyons of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the isolated tribe of Tarahumara Indians is known for a remarkable feat.

They're in our homes, our food, our soil, our water, and our air. They're so much a part of our lives that we think nothing of it. It's high time we think about it a little more. There are over 70,000 chemicals in use today and their cumulative effects on human health have never really been studied. In fact, very few of them have even been studied individually for safety. Should we be worried?
The Single Best "Just In Case" Place In The WorldFor many years now, there has been much talk that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world with their Long Count calendar. It has even been refined down to a specific date when humanity is supposed to cease to exist… December 21, 2012 This doomsday message has become quite popular. So much so, the subject has spawned hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs, several mainstream books… and at least a couple of movies… including… a major motion picture by Mel Gibson titled, Apocalypto. The supposed cause (or causes) of this wanton, wholesale destruction ranges from a Planet “X” near flyby… to a “killer” solar flare… to geomagnetic reversal… to… a half-dozen (or more) other things.
