Most survival films sell you adrenaline. The Road strips that away and leaves you with something harder to face: the slow, brutal grind of collapse when everything—food, hope, morality—is running on fumes. It’s not exciting. It’s not comforting. But it’s honest. This is a story about what it really means to survive long after the world has ended. No government. No rescue. No clean water. Just a father and his son pushing forward through ash and silence. What makes it powerful isn’t action—it’s the quiet decisions made when there’s nothing left to lose. If you want a movie that shows…

Jake Schmitt, a Utah hunting guide, went into the Uintah Mountains on July 20 to scout for mule deer. He was looking for a big buck in summer velvet that he knew was in the area. Schmitt left his truck on a forest road and drove into the mountains in a UTV, prepared with plenty of gear. He also brought along Buddy, his six-year-old German shorthaired pointer. The next morning, Schmitt crawled out of the mountains — barely alive — by following…
Army leaders have learned from recent counter drone experiments that there is no one solution, no silver bullet to protect soldiers from drones.Leaders from V Corps, Fort Knox, Ky, spoke with reporters on a media call Wednesday to discuss Project Flytrap — an exercise involving U.S. military personnel, partner nation military and industry representatives to help counter the threats posed by unmanned aerial systems on the battlefield. “[Counter-unmanned aerial systems] are essential to success on the modern battlefield,” said Lt. Gen. Charles Costanza, commanding general of V Corps. ”U.S. and allied forces must rapidly transform to the very real threat…
Most folks look at a drone and think, “Cool toy,” or maybe “That’d be fun to get aerial shots of my backyard chickens.” What they don’t think is, “How far can that thing go?” or “Who else is using this tech to watch, track, or control?” That’s the real question — because once you know the range, you start seeing the bigger picture. And it’s not some scenic landscape from 400 feet up. It’s a web of surveillance, warfare, and government overreach. Let’s break it down. How Far Can Civilian Drones Fly? For your average person buying a drone off…
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Russian government has developed a far-reaching, multi-level approach to turbocharge the country’s development and production of drones with an eye to becoming a world leader in the field. The comprehensive strategy includes large amounts of federal and state funding, thousands of startups and even the systematic training of schoolchildren. Drones have emerged as a key technology in the war in Ukraine, which is now in its fourth year after the Russian military’s large-scale invasion of the country that commenced in February 2022. The cheap, unmanned flying systems, often no heavier than a few kilograms and…
An electromagnetic pulse from a strategic attack or a coronal mass ejection from the sun will instantly cause communication infrastructure to collapse. Cell towers will be fried, the internet will crash, and most forms of digital communication will be inoperable. The only working radios will be the ones that were shielded in a Faraday cage. For the average person, this spells total communication isolation. However, I feel that I have to point out that people were communicating with each other over significant distances for centuries before the digital age. You might be surprised at just how many low-tech household items…

President Donald Trump on Wednesday promised that U.S. officials will find ways to assist Afghan allies seeking asylum in America but also suggested that a significant number of individuals involved in those immigration programs may have other motives. “We know the good ones, and we know the ones that maybe aren’t so good,” Trump said during a White House event in response to a question about Afghan refugees. “We’re going to take care of those people, the ones that did a job [for us], the ones that were told certain things.”Trump did not offer specifics on any new assistance or…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Did you know that U.S. households are carrying $1.18 trillion in credit card debt? Considering the fact that the average rate of interest on credit card balances is now over 20 percent, that is not good news at all. Sadly, most of the country is just barely scraping by from month to month in this very harsh economic environment, and turning to credit cards for some relief can be extremely tempting. A thousand-dollar credit card balance can turn into four or five thousand dollars in the blink of…
