As the effects of the nuclear disaster in Japan remain unclear, panicked US residents are doing whatever they can to get their hands on Potassium Iodide pills.
Distributors of the FDA recommended pills have run out of stock, with one manufacturer reporting that they sold some 250,000 individual packets in a single weekend.
As we reported in What Your Grocery Store Will Look Like In An Emergency, at the onset of a far-from-equilibrium event, the essentials go first. In Japan, food and especially water have become scarce.
The panic is spreading, and residents in the US, fearing a fallout cloud crossing the pacific and affecting Western states, are stocking up as well.
The top priority? Potassium Iodide – or nuke pills.
In recent days, the Surgeon General has advised concerned West Coast residents to get a hold of Potassium Iodide in the event of a radiation threat in the US.
The supply crunch and high demand has forced buyers to turn to the secondary market for acquiring the FDA recommended potassium iodide supplements, driving prices to upwards of $200 for a 14 dose packet. The suggested retail price offered by the supplier at NukePills.com is $10 per pack, indicating that demand has forced prices up as much as 1900% in just a few days.
Radiation monitoring equipment like Geiger counters have also exploded in price since just prior to the nuclear crisis. Normally costing approximately $50 per unit, prices have reached several hundred dollars, an increase of over 250% in some cases:
The effectiveness of KI as a specific blocker of thyroid radioiodine uptake is well established. When administered in the recommended dose, KI is effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in individuals or populations at risk for inhalation or ingestion of radioiodines. KI floods the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine and prevents the uptake of the radioactive molecules, which are subsequently excreted in the urine.

Dont look for the iosat pill form, it’s the “conveniently” packaged form that is easy to take etc. That’s the very expensice way out. If you go find just regular Lab grade Potassium iodide (KI) on ebay or anywhere else and buy in bulk, you can still get it cheap. I bought 1 Lb. for $40 yesterday without much searching. You can figure out how to dose it from posts on the KI in it until the water is completely saturated. You can tell when it’s completely saturated because the KI will no longer dissolve in the water. once this is taken care of shake the crap out of it to make sure that it’s still completely saturated and then you can take a medicince dropper and administer 4-5 drops per adult and 2 drops per child. it’s that easy, and it won’t cost you nearly as much.
A couple of things…

Treatments for Nuclear Contamination
http://blog.imva.info/medicine/treatments-nuclear-contamination
Our government should look into these companies raising the prices so high on these pills. I ordered some myself last week only to get an email saying the demand was so high they were cancelling my order. If I find that they have raised their prices and didn’t fill my order so they could do that I will raise the question to the Attorney General. I suppose he is just out on the golf course playing golf with our wonderful President though.
Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13
1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, `Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, `Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise replied, `Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other maidens came also, saying, `Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he replied, `Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
If you’re concerned and can’t find KI go get 6mil plastic, staple gun, staples, duct tape to seal your shelter, quality masks, body and head coveralls, rubber/vinyl gloves, bacteria soap, you should have most of this in your prep storage anyway. Seal your food in containers when necessary.  Oh SH*^ what about my dog?  {: (
I guess I need to run out to a few local drug stores, pick some up & then list it on ebay.
Man Up. This would help your dog. http://approvedgasmasks.com/pet-shield.htm Gotta take care of the babies.
I’m not sure who to be disgusted with the most; the fear mongers, the sheep, or the shearers of the sheep. We really are doomed.
To profit off of human suffering is absolutely revolting and I hope to GOD that those who do will get exactly what is coming to them in the end.
You forgot the sheppard’s.
This bidding is representative of the moronic and degenerate weakened state of character of the average American and why they will perish quickly when the SHTF. They couldn’t boil water in Hell!

As I posted here previously, there is a simple process using readily available products in which an individual can readily make potassium iodine dosages in their kitchen for a few dollars — and probably enough to service their entire immediate neighborhood. Yet the simple idea of Googling ‘ how to make potassium iodine’ eludes the descendants of wilderness pioneers, global explorers and the technical geniuses that brought us our modern world..

The only redeeming thing that makes them worth saving is their genetic potential is still intact, if only presently repressed.

@GA Mom – thanks for the link, gotta take care of those who take care of you!
“You are only doomed if you think you are!!!†sounds like someone’s not prepared (sanityjones) “we really are doomed†??? hmm.
Â
Hey GA Mom, are those ziplock pet bags freezer safe? I guess if you reverse the pump you could use them to vacuum seal your pet, freeze them, then thaw out latter when it’s safe for small mammals to freely roam. 😉
I wouldn’t worry about the radiation getting here to the west coast of the U.S. Nothing bad will happen here in the U.S., we’ve been blessed for so long, we’ll be fine from any disaster. You guys make all this gloom and doom talk about economic, financial, natural disaster here in the U.S. sound like its going to happen tomorrow. It’s going to be a very slow decline here probably 30 to 50 years from now, we still have time. However, more and more of us will continue to suffer due to this current system and QE + infinity. Just look at the recent protests in Wisconsin, Indiana, etc. it was a dud compared to the Middle East/North Africa, I don’t the sheeple here will ever wake up and do anything.
Th V-715 getting bid up like that is surprising. People are panicing and don’t know jack about s&%*. The levels of radiation in the USA in a worst case scenario would barely move that things meter on the lowest setting if it still works.
Potassium iodide is a fairly common and simple salt. Its used by some darkroom photographers and for other purposes, though obviously photo grade was not manufactured for internal use and not FDA approved. The Ruskies gave Chernobyl victims a simple aqueous solution of potassium iodide, 5 drops each dose from a saturated solution and standard dropper for an adult, thats about 130mg.
*EVERYONE READ*
I am sure most of you follow other news sites, over at ZERO HEDGE they are posting a couple of stories about possible bank holidays and large scale economic disruptions coming VERY SOON. Chris Martenson has put out his alert to all his subscribers, prepare accordingly people this could be the start of something big.
Â
This info came from a reliable source, i.e. my sisters naturopathic doctor.
With the crisis in Japan and threat of radiation I have been asked by patients what they can do. I will share a brief summary of what I researched and hope that it will help you feel proactive about what you can do if that should become a real threat. There are many natural sources of radiation. The sun is the most common and the higher the altitude the greater the exposure. Many of us are also exposed daily to radiation from television, cell phones, computer monitors, microwaves, and saltellites. The potential threat of exposure from the nuclear reactor fall out at this time is of concern to many but there should also be concern when exposed to radiation from x-ray, mammograms, CT scans, airport security scanners etc. We should be advocates for alternative diagnostic procedures when there is a safer choice as it is the accumulative effects that have the potential to cause cell DNA damage.Â
Radiation does damage by the radioactive elements of strontium and iodine as well as free radicals. The radioactive elements have enough energy to remove electrons from the molecules that make up our tissue. The breakdown of these chemical bonds damages the cells and creates more free radicals that also do potential damage by stealing electrons. The nucleus and DNA of the cells are vulnerable to this damage. When the nucleus of a cell is damaged the potential for cancer is greater. Cells in the body that are in the process of dividing, where the chromosomal structure are exposed, are more susceptible. Cells of the body in the process of dividing more quickly are the blood, lymph, hair, and gastro intestinal cells. Breast, skin and lung tissue are also especially vulnerable.
The body has an innate repair capability and will repair broken chemical bonds as quickly as possible. Anti oxidants in our diet are empahsized as they offer chemicals that will stabalize cells as well as offer up electrons for the free radicals to bond with, leaving the cells unharmed. There are many natural ways to protect yourself to daily exposures of radiation as well as a catastrophic event. Foundations of health always begin with diet. Our body is what we eat and the repair mechanisms are enhanced by a diet rich in nutrients including anti oxidants. Vegetables and fruits of many varieties will offer some of the greatest protection.
Radiation is more easily absorbed with mineral deficiency. The body will recruit the radioactive elements like a sponge where minerals are needed. So adequate minerals in the body will keep the cells more stable and less likely to attract the radioactive elements. Normally iodine is concentrated in the thyroid gland as thyroid hormone is a molecule with significant amounts of iodone. If there is a deficiency of iodine that area of the body is more susceptible to absorbing radioactive isotopes especially strontium, with resulting damage to the tissue. Caution should be used if introducing iodine too quickly. If there has been an underlying deficiency the added iodine may quickly replace other elements that have been substituted causing a detoxification reaction. Symptoms such as headaches, nausea or neurological consequences may result. There is also the possibilty of allergic reactions to iodine. 150 mcg of iodine is the daily FDA recommendation.  This is quite a small aount, just over one tenth of a mg. However, many people are deficient in iodine in our country. For the past few years I have personally used idodized sea salt to increase idodine intake along with gradually introducing supplemenal sources. Food sources of iodine are generally safe and allow the body to uptake the amount needed without detrimental effects. Food sources of iodine include sea vegetabels like algae and kelp, eggs, strawberries, fish and seafoods. Again, use caution introducing iodine too quickly as a supplement, this should be done with medical supervision. I have available a quick skin test to assess for deficiency. Ask if interested in this test.Â
Again adequate minerals in general are very protective. Mineral supplemnts may be an option but a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains (expept wheat) are very good sources of minerals. Avoid refined foods and sugar because they deplete the mineral reserves by oferring very little nutritional value. They actually rob the body of the nutrients it needs to turn the calories they provide into energy.
A diet as close to natural foods as possible will provide what the body needs to repair and the anti oxidants it needs to protect. Avoid large amounts of animal proteins, dairy products, refined foods and foods with chemical additives to decrease further depletion. You are thereby supporting the body’s regenerating potential. Standard Process has a great product called Min Tran with a good dose of organic minerals as well as sodium alginate from kelp and alfalfa These are natural chelators for radioactive isotopes. It has 200 mcg of iodine from kelp in four tablets.http://www.standardprocess.com/display/displayFile.aspx?docid=129&filename=/Public/Lit/TabSheets/mintran5590.pdf
Baths with added Epsom salt and / or baking soda have the ability to pull out some toxic radioactive elements. 1/2 to 1 cup of each in a bath is an easy protective measure, even after a needed x-ray or airplane flight. We often recommend these baths in the Detoxification program as adjunts to improve elimination of toxicity from the body.Â
Foods with sulfur like cruciferous vegetables have the potential to protect against the free radicals produced by ionizing radiation. Patients who have done Dr. Mikel’s detoxification group have all learned to love roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Roasting the vegetables is a great way to sweeten that bitter sulfur taste but still get those power foods for the liver that enhance protection from toxicity. Standard Process products like SP Green Food and Cruciferous Complete offer the vegetables as a capsule which is an easy way to get them in periodically for more support.Â
Foods rich in chlorophyl like Chlorella, alfalfa, dark leafy greens, celery, parsley and cilantro can also help neutralize radiation toxicity. Again the Standard process SP Green Food offers great sources of chlorophyl. http://www.standardprocess.com/display/displayFile.aspx?docid=168&filename=/Public/Lit/TabSheets/spgreenfoodT4650.pdf
Bentonite clay taken internally or added to a bath has the potential to absorb the radioactive ions through the colon or from the skin. Standard process product Gastrex has the bentonite clay as well as protective foods to support healthy gut lining mucosal cells. Cholacol II is useful for someone without a glall bladder that provide bile salts as well as the bentonite clay to aborb gut toxicity. ttp://www.standardprocess.com/display/displayFile.aspx?docid=192&filename=/Public/Lit/TabSheets/gastrex4600.pdf
Miso soup contains many ingredients that combat the effects of radiation, such as whole rice, barley, soybeans, sea salt, seaweed, onions and kojikin fungus. A 1990 Hiroshima University study concluded that people who ate miso soup regularly may have been up to five times more resistant to radiation poisoning than people who did not.
Remember the toxicity from radiation is occurring every day. Cell phone radiation is now being exposed as a potential cause of increase in brain tumors. We can be educated to decrease exposure where possible when easy to do so. It is a threshold of exposure with toxicity that begins to do damage. Decreasing exposure increases our tolerance to unavoidable exposures. Use your speaker when talking on the cell phone, stand away from the microwave, be cautious about over using x- ray, go for a pat down instead of an x-ray scan at the airport. When you are exposed, the better diet you have been eating, the more protection you have. Use the ideas above as added supports. Feel free to ask me about which products you are taking that may be supporting you and consider adding something if you feel vulnerable at this time.Â
It is a time to use our thoughts for creating positive outcomes. Visualize your body in perfect health and capable of protecting you from harmful effects in the environment. Who knows if using the speaker on your cell phone protects you more than the thought that it does. When you eat healthy foods remember to say a prayer before you eat that the foods bless your body with health and vitality. Send positive energy to Japan, the people, the plants, the sea and the sea life. Dr. Emoto did experiments with water and saw that toxicity from polluted lakes improved just by people’s collective thoughts and prayers. They do make a real difference. Â
We are being brought into experiences that seem out of our control…. our ability to respond rather than react is now being tested. We can live with intention and practice what we have learned intellectually and spiriutually or fall into fear.  I encourage you to practice with whatever faith and tools you have to respond from your heart with positive intention for your well being, for mankind and for Mother Earth.

Mushroom has to be some kind of bot or something. I can’t believe a human being would believe something like that.
Man Up- I took your implied advice and wrapped my dog in several layers of plastic but he kept chewing out of it. So I duct taped his muzzle then re-wrapped him securely. Also wrapped his paws extra well in case he tries to scrastch a flea. He’s been laying by his dog house “sleeping” for two days and hasn’t made a sound but at least he’s safe from the radiation. Thanks for the tip!
Mushroom-I wrapped all my crisp $10 fed reserve notes in a vacuum sealed mylar bag. Also put a couple KI tablets in with ’em. I feel better knowing they’re secure…
Where would I be without the great info found here? Thanks again!
911, you want what? Are you kidding? Lady, are you saying they are out of chicken McNuggets? What’s the address? Did you get the sauce you asked for? We’ll send police right out to arrest you.
@mushroom…your vast superior intelligence never seems to amaze me (and probably everyone else who bothers to read this blog) – and to think it is present in the flesh of a fungus on this insignificant planet available to us all!

Please send your crisp worthless $10 FRN right away, I’ve autographed your copy and I’ll ship it to you immediately via digital download.
And if you buy in the next thirty minutes I’ll double the order, just pay separate processing and handling.

The one thing that might kill a bunch of people is panic. I agree with you sanityjones. And taking the potassium without knowing what you are doing can have some serious ill effects. You get more radiation from being in the sun than what you’ll be getting from a a cloud drifting thousands of feet in the air. You’all need to relax.

Shepard Smith on FoxNews, just said, “it’s stupid” to buy Potassium Iodide…
For years I stocked iodine pills and rad detectors…..about $40FRN for a tested unit,iodine was…I forget but it was cheap…couldnt give the stuff away…even to the kooks…now the price is through the roof and hard to find…..go figger!
Comments…..
Why can’t I post this important link to some serious damn business???
This is the second try!!!!
Comments…..@ Goldenfoxx. Got to agree with you both, enough of this crap! Same shite they pull when a gun or high capacity mag is banned. What a crock of shite! I got friends calling me wanting to know where to get the pills, hell, even my wife called me from work with her panties in a knot asking if we should get some. I told her NO, enough of this bs, if you feel compelled to buy something, buy more food, expand our first aid supplies, water or clothes. Contracts are up for renewal in June-July on food and clothing and they ain’t gonna go down in price……better think of that! Keep focused!
Looks like supply/demand eco law to me. I like it…… Think ahead. Only air is free, O2 isn’t.
@Goldenfoxx – They also said back in the mid 80s that the radiation wouldnt make it from the Ukraine to England. Yet it did. Its about the same distance as Seattle to Japan too, ironically. If it rains it will wash the nuclear dust to the ground where animals could consume it and plants “eat” it. Am I shaking my my boots? No, I took them off when I got home 😉
Not saying it will happen, it would require a major event that has not occured yet and the winds to go the right direction, until Saturday they are going Eastwardly which is not good for us on the West coast if something happens. After Saturday China gets the winds 🙂

Comments…..i cannot help but think that the kooks stocking up on iodine pills do not have their one year supply of water, food and other essentials…well, if they all get sick and die then we will have less sheeple among the horde to worry about when we really have a problem.
What about all the nuclear bombs which have been tested above ground in the last 50 or so years IN THIS COUNTRY, the fallout having blown all over the U.S. contaminating everyone. Does anyone wonder why cancer rates have skyrocketed in the U.S. since then?!! 2+2=4. The federal government should be held accountable for all of these cancer victims and for doing testing on its own citizens, just like the Nazis. SHAME, SHAME SHAME!!
Nothing kooky about having KI pills around. Being prepared is very wise. I agree that a years supply of food and water is important but you can get 200 adult doses of KI for 20 bucks so why not do it?
trade all your crashing silver junk and gold junk for new crisp uncirculated federal reserve bank ten dollar notes before it’s too late.

Amen, Caryn. The same knuckle heads running around trying to buy iodine pills probably don’t have 2 cans of soup in the cupboards.
A far more predictable tsunami coming is inflation and the destruction of everyone’s purchasing power. I feed my cows some commercial feed to supplement grazing/hay. Been 5 bucks/bag for quite a while ( +/- 50 cents ). Yesterday, it was 6.50/bag….and they said the next load in would be 8/bag. That’s over a 50% increase in a few months. Wait until THAT kind of thing works it way thru the food chain.

“Did anybody else hear the 50 billion dollar value on the destruction in japan…”
Â
50 billion is the national cap on insurance losses in Japan, by law…not the number for the total losses. From I read, most insured will end up getting pennies on the dollar for losses, and they will easily run into the hundreds of billions.
Comments….. mushroom YOU have convinced me, I’m sold! Our very bright and intelegent, and moral leaders WILL lead us threw this economic hicup, I have been influenced by blogs, such as this one, that stress self reliance and being a economic skeptic. I am no longer going to read or agree with  ANYMORE STATEMENTS that support such views, furthermore, MAC needs to change this site to stress to people that leaders such as H REID are just moral, and very smart people, stuck in a bad situation in dc ( who are freely elected by our very democratic system of voting, ran by very talented, resorceful, and well compensated state workers) SO STOP PREPARING FOR FUTURE FINANCUAL DISASTER PEOPLE, that money would better served buying the new 100 year treasury bonds, or giving it to the presidentual election fund on your 1040.
I should have given my $.02 to the presidential election fund on my EZ form! I’m convinced we should have a quorum to have a Mushroom b(Ass)h Day. Anybody, anybody?
Comments…..tnandy, if the total destruction reaches 600 billion, that is still childs play in printing dollars, WE (the fed reserve) printed that in one day in nov 2010 to cover the “lost” 600 billion that went from bank of taiwan, to virginia, and then to “POOF GONE”(look at the feds balance sheet for that time period) That money belonged to the peoples republic of china(so they say) So I my damage number might be low, but my comment is correct, we are in deep doodoo. Â
@TnAndy
Â
Earthquake insurance is extremely expensive in Japan.
Â
It is a matter of Japanese government policy and financial law that all earthquake insurance be underwritten by 90% by non-Japanese insurers. The vast majority of these are American and European!
Â
Ironically, it is not Japan that will suffer financially so much from this catastrophe, as will the foreign entities and their financial markets. Watch the western dominoes fall!!!!

It’s not only food, Anon…the prices of clothing, socks, undies, t-shirts and apparel hasn’t increased, yet; I bet the ones with children don’t have a clue..the clothing sold now is from cloth and materials bought a year ago!!
The next 6 months I believe parents will see a HUGE increase.
GOT SOCKS???
I don’t have a years supply of water. Do you have a years supply of water? I have a river full of water.
Does #1 have a passport? Origin of birth? How many? (both) Do you have a passport? F. I. I’m going to Rio to play some golf! I’m special……. I get to wear a U.S. AF leather jacket when I speak to them but f&$ck the CG, Army, Navy, Marines & NG. I’ll go shirtless while I’m on the Rio beach. Don’t hate me & I’ll let you die with inflation. Eat sh%t, I’m special.
Mush, did you see gold tick up the last few minutes! Eat dung.
M’room: Â I got you beat, as I collect 20’s and 50’s, clean and crisp. Â I use 5’s and 10’s for eating out, deli take outs. Â I’ve also got some old 100’s that I will cash in for 20’s. Â Don’t you have deli’s and restaurants near you? Â Best to pend the smaller bills for that.
The dose rate in Tokyo is essentially at natural background of ~360 mR/yr. Â Why would any rational person expect it to be higher in the U.S.? Why do people go nuts over nuclear power? Â TMI harmed nobody in 1979 and the U.S. stopped building nuclear plants. This is not rational behavior.
My kelp tablets have 540 mcg of iodine in 3 tablets. If interested, click my name.
I ordered some 1oz bottles @ $23 ea. They are postponing delivery for 2-3 weeks. Is $23 a rip-off for 1oz ? How many days is 1oz good for ?
Comments…..Jeff an ounce of the good stuff will last you a long time, unless you smoke more than one joint a day!

Hell, I’m only 140 miles from New Madrid, Mo…..from what I’ve read, I’m about to get all the water I need.
Comments…..@jj….i have been to new madrid mo. from the great arcadia valley myself…presently in mississippi not far from the delta. hey, dont worry too much just prepare for the worse and you will be okay. the mississippi river changed course and flowed backward once a hundred or so years ago due to an earthquake and there is a good chance it will happen again..someday.
…in a cloud of dust, with a hearty Hi-Yo Federal Reserve Note, away!…It’s the Lone Ranger!…sorry ‘shroom it just don’t work this way. Some things just gotta be SILVER!!! 🙂

Comments…..LISTEN UP TEK ROANIN, please dont make us read your bull$hit TWICE!
Comments…..I do not mind reading it once, but TWICE
tekroanin,  ahhaaha as if your days arent coming, spare me.
we wouldnt be over there if they werent such savages….The way they treat their own people is appauling, and they degrading acts against their own humanity, oh they will have a day of reckoning coming, especially for worshiping a false god. or at least for painting the one god as they do.
and again ..Never paint a true American with the acts of a Government.
and no one is stealing shit, its been bought and paid for.
and remember, you cant eat oil, and you cant grow food in sand..so think about that for a while.
if it wasnt for our money buying that countrys commodity, they would all be sucking sand.
if it wasnt for your government selling your natural resources you all would still be living in caves
, and thats a good place for savages to live
oh and talk about illegal wars, and the killing of innocent people…your type have a corner on that market.
so find a rope and piss up it..and remember one thing, my ammo is now soaking in pigs blood, just waiting for the rag heads to think they can take us.
European American, thanks for that load of good info! I, like all of you, have been monitoring the situation as best I can. The strongest feeling I have is one of total embarrassment of the panicking sheep in my country. Nothing has even BEGUN to happen here, and look how these people are behaving. Nincompoops buying up iodine tablets? I assure you that many are taking them already, giving them to their kids, etc. I think overdosing on the tablets will cause more health harm than any fallout headed our way.
I forgot to add, Tecroanin, If this country is so dam bad,,why are somany of those countries people living here and going after the “American Dream” so to speak?
To me you sound like a pissy child that hasent done your home work , and are probably too lazy to make anything happen for yourself, so its easy for you to blame someone else for your short comings.
And also to add, what benifit do your type get from killing innocent people, that are just trying to live what ever life they can eek out in this country, when we have no more direction over the elite and their games, then you do of your countries rulers or oppressors?
wake up dink..its not us against you..
its governments againsts other governments, using us as the chess pieces
and that my ignorant son is a losing game
Hey, hey, hey. I live in a cave! I don’t have to leave home to go to work.Â
No offence Cave Man 🙂

This is normal mush. Industrial slow down with earthquake. Keep investing in ink with silver in it. I’ll buy the solid stuff. We need a “no flys” zone over #1. The little kind with two wings.
The USDX just can’t seem to get it up above 76 today but have faith, they will inject it with even more worthless digit dollars. We have the printing press.
Even MSNBC is trying to come clean.

Okay, read carefully…
1) ‘we’ didn’t start the wars…elites did
2) if you borrow my car and kill someone while driving, I’m not guilty of murder..get the analogy??
3) since elections have been stolen for years due to compromised electronic machines, ‘we’ didn’t place these boobs guilty of murder in office–elite did
4) let ‘the murdering congress’ and such take it up with God
5) uhhh…my ‘we’ served in the vietnam war, but didn’t slay any dragons…capish?
6) most Americans know by now ‘we’ are being used to fight the Zionists wars
Now, can we be friends?? Or are you gonna take your ball and go home??
Ben, (BB) Wake up. The USDX is still going down. Quit dreaming about bikini clad topless girls on the beach with little umbrella drinks and golden white sand. WAKE UP!
Anonymous,
I told everyone that here a while back……there is no gold in Fort Know either, not sure anyone listened to me…..watch Money Masters. You can get the DVD on line for 20$ or you can watch it online, that’s how we first viewed it before purchasing it last year. Excellent and long documentary that exposes the con and very informative. You should all check it out if you haven’t 🙂
lock and load?
revolution time?
or do we just put them all in a boat and send them to G Bay?

Hey everybody! These pills that were selling for $200 a few weeks ago are now selling for $12 again!!!!!!! Any of you “preppers” out there who are without potassium iodide pills should probably stock up! I know you were all hoping no one would remember the frantic scramble so many on this site had to endure due to lack of foresight (in other words, lack of prepping…….). Here’s your chance to make good.
