I watched President Trumps speech yesterday and was impressed. Although he boasted on himself as usual the content was consistent with the direction he ran on and was elected. I liked him standing up to the media.

Taking a couple shooting tomorrow. One has never pulled a trigger before. Looking forward to it.

Tech billionaire issues stark warning saying artificial intelligence could DESTROY human race which is already ‘part cyborg’ because of its dependence on smartphones.

Interesting. Although many of us may not see the extent which artificial intelligence reaches in our lifetime consider the incredible technology that has been and will be included within military weapons. Weapons that “think” for themselves and select targets – scary.

I am proud to announce the creation of the new Facebook Group – 1776PatriotUSA – Freedom Firearms Patriotism Preparedness. This is community where members can post topics they care about and everyone can discuss. Great way to connect with like-minded folks. If you are on Facebook check it out.

Also connected to this website is a fan page called The Patriot Page. This is a page where announcements and posts related to politics, firearms, preparedness, and this website are posted several times per day. Some good discussions go on there with some of the posts. I post some humorous things as well.

Although I am not the biggest fan of FB – it is a fantastic platform for people to connect in ways that without it would be extremely difficult.

NOTE: If you see a free Kindle book that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.

    Stay….the course!!

    It is not the movement of the clock that produces the newness of life. It is the movement in your mind. You’re going to hear all things said about you. Throw it behind you. The enemies that you see today, you will see no more. No weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper. Every tongue that rises against you God will condemn. This is my time.

    Truth of the matter is everybody in here is going through a change. You don’t have to be ashamed of yours. We are all in the process of transforming to a higher, better expression of myself. Let this be the year that I breathe a higher, better expression of myself. Don’t let the habits of my past stop me from this metamorphosis. New year, new me. New year, new me. What separates us is transformation. The possibility of change, the desire to evolve, the passion to get up off the ground, and stop eating dirt.

    From a conversation on a restricted military site that I inhabit:

    I was unable to find my article, but will attempt to reconstruct the jist of it.
    In an attempt to make some kind of sense of a long string of illogical and seemly counter productive moves by our govt. The answer is always the simplest when all is stripped away and looked at logically, regardless of how farfetched and unbelievable. When looking at the absolutely crazy shit this past administration has been doing the only conclusion that I can come up with is:

    We are either right on the brink of, or have already created AI and are on the brink of losing control of it. This is scary enough to set up conditions for the use of worldwide EMP strikes to kill it. Those strikes would ultimately lead to the slow death of about 80% of the modern worlds population by pushing our society back to the 1800s at least. This is a condition that few are prepared to survive, but given the option of the total extinction of the human race, is probably the only logical one.

    In this light, many if not all of the seriously insane moves by world govts. start to make sense…..remember when all else is eliminated the truth no matter how bizarre or unbelievable is revealed.

    You may find my thoughts on this crazy, but if you look deeper may find that you have a real fear of looking at the truth of this possibility. It is one that no one should like to contemplate…..the survival of the human race in a war that moves as fast as an electron..

      Maybe. Regardless, this is why we prepare for the unthinkable. In fact, We’ve covered EMP protection and preparedness on this site also. I would really like to speak to PR. Think I will give him a shout out or what not.

      D. – although I have prescribed to the notion that great powers in the world influence governments and may create great turmoil I cannot rationalize why they would create a compete collapse. I see their influence without an economic system which to dictate and manipulate limited. Hey – I’m no economic expert nor educated in the theories of “New World Order” and the Illuminati.

        I believe you have misread my comment. The collapse would not come about by some nefarious NWO seeking power/money but as a last ditch benevolent attempt to save some, as opposed to losing all life on the planet to an AI out of control that would rapidly have no use for us. There is no financial gain or influence at all in a world without humans. Please read the comment again. Skynet would be a lightweight in regards to the speed at which self aware AI is expected to move, according to all knowledgeable and concerned sources. We would quickly be as amoeba to such an intelligence.
