Michael Guetlein said he’s moving quickly to build an empowered, expert team to start identifying and integrating technology for an advanced homeland missile defense architecture. “We’ve been very, very selective on getting not only the right talent, but the right personalities that understand how to go fast,” Guetlein said Tuesday at the Innovate Space Global Economic Summit in Arlington, Virginia. “Not everybody understands what it takes to move at that speed.”Previously the Space Force’s second in command, Guetlein was confirmed last week for this role,…

Honey is one of mother nature’s greatest gifts and an important item to add to your survival supplies. But it is more urgent than ever that you start stocking up on it. Over the past several years the honeybee population has dropped up to 70 percent and the price of honey is on the rise.Scientists still don’t know for sure why this is happening, but it is likely due to several factors such as the increasing number of toxins in our environment, especially pesticides.Whatever the cause, it is quite possible that honeybees could become extinct later this century. The good…
This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. As central banks aggressively print money in a desperate bid to prop up failing economies, gold — nature’s ultimate currency—has suffered a suspiciously timed sell-off. While the controlled media narratives blame “market corrections,” the truth is far more sinister: This engineered slump is merely a distraction before gold skyrockets past $3,600, cementing its role as the lifeboat for savers fleeing the Titanic of fiat currencies. CIBC analysts confirm that gold’s trajectory remains unstoppable, fueled by central bank manipulation, geopolitical chaos, and the accelerated death of the dollar. Key…

Lessons from William Aprill on criminal violence and the self-preservation mindset required to survive.February 2018, I had the opportunity to take what would become one of the most impactful training classes of my life, Unthinkable: Tactics and Concepts for the Gravest Extreme taught by William Aprill and Greg Ellifritz. This wasn’t your average pistol class or defensive tactics course. Instead, it challenged students to explore the psychology of violence, criminal victim selection and—most importantly—the internal mental shift required to survive the worst moments imaginable.Today, I reflect not just on that class, but on the legacy of Aprill—a uniquely gifted trainer,…
Israel has launched air raids and a ground operation in Gaza, targeting Deir al-Balah. The new offensive is said to be “substantial.” Deir al-Balah is the main hub for humanitarian efforts in the devastated Palestinian territory, amid urgent warnings of widening starvation in the coastal strip.

At least 85 desperate Palestinians were killed on Sunday in what has become an almost daily slaughter. United Nations infrastructure has been hit, along with mosques, as houses, according to local medics…
