Abiogenic Oil, Is It The End Of Peak Oil Fears?
Oil. Some of the everyday uses are obvious. We use oil as fuel for heating and transportation, we make plastics and textiles from oil, and many common medications such as A.S.A. are also made from petroleum.

What if the Preppers are Right?
From FreedomPreppers.com Public opinion is largely shaped by the media in all formats including news, cinema and television shows.

U.S. incarceration rate second only to guess who?

By Linda Holliday Here in the Ozarks, we are expanding our growing areas, relearning old-time skills, acquiring hand tools and building human-powered devices while we still can.

Get out of the Way Government!
Joplin, Missouri bore the brunt of it. But the results broke the hearts of millions of Americans, and not just those in the heartland.
