Survival Saturday is  a round-up of the week's news and resources for folks who are interested in being prepared.

This Week in the News

This week on Survival Saturday, we'll discuss the manipulated destruction of our personal freedom and sovereignty as a nation. Because of the bad acts of some, the manipulation of others, and the President literally telling us that we're going to give up freedom for the "international good" you can watch our sovereignty and liberty float off into the sky like that helium balloon your 5-year-old refused to let you tie onto her wrist. You'll cry and scream as you watch it float off to parts unknown, but if you let it go, there will be absolutely nothing you can do to get it back. Personal freedom is everything and the time to be aware of these Machiavellian plots is right now.

Police Shootings in Tulsa and Charlotte Set off Extreme Tensions, but There's One Big Difference

First of all, let me make it very clear that in no way am I advocating the cops shooting people who are not a threat, planting guns, and otherwise trying to cover their tushes.  There have definitely been some questionable shootings, and I think if we were all able to have the facts, and not what the media wants us to see, we'd be able to say, "This was justified" or "This was not justified."

But, as I've written before, the media only shows us what they want us to see. Because of this, I really have difficulty passing judgment either way on these shootings. I believe far too many of them are happening, but then the waters get muddied. Some people make the victim out to be a saint, while others say the victim was a thug. Some make it out that every single cop is a horrible human being, while others say that every single cop is a hero worthy of a cape.
