Two readers mentioned this article: National
Guard May Be Needed to Enforce Quarantine in Flu Pandemic.
This is more evidence that every family needs to have a three month
supply of food and essentials on hand in case they have to "hunker down" in
self-quarantine. A good start on this can be found in the family
provisioning details included in my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course.

Reader Jason in North Idaho sent us this story Supreme
Global Warming Derangement: Having Large Families ‘Is an Eco-crime’ Jason's
comment: "This is the same rubbish I have heard for years from the secular/socialists

me of the tripe that was spoken of by Paul
Erlich, 35 years ago. He wrote
an alarmist book that said that the earth would cease to be able to feed

Indiana
will be the base for new military nuclear terror response exercises.
OBTW, the anonymous reader that sent me this link also mentioned that he
had heard that Aljazeera will be part of the press corps covering

Reader SF in Hawaii notes that the recent European interest rates meeting
is temporarily pushing up
the US Dollar and pushing
down the spot price of gold. On May 8th , New York spot gold closed at $685
per
ounce.
Yesterday
(May
10th)
it
was
$665. So SF notes that now is a good time to buy previous metals.
As I often say, buy on these
dips!
