Washington State Bridge Collapse Reveals Huge Problems for West Coast Cities in Major Earthquake
If you haven't heard, yesterday a bridge on Interstate 5, Washington State's major North-South freeway, collapsed over the Skagit River.
Why? Apparently "aging infrastructure" is to blame. Now, for possibly several months, approximately 67,000 vehicles a day will have to be re-routed.
The effect this is going to have on the State of Washington will probably be more extensive than most people realize. Interstate 5 is a major thoroughfare. Detouring cars to the surrounding countryside for possibly several months will likely result in the worst traffic conditions the state has ever seen.

Oats vs White Rice as a Survival Food
Could you live off white rice? Forget the white rice! It's a low calorie food lacking real nutritional value. As a survival food, choose rolled oats instead. Packed with vitamins and minerals (as well as a high percentage of dietary fiber to prevent constipation), oats, oatmeal, and oat flour, can be a long term part of your family's survival food plan. Potassium means it's a great food to prevent the painful occurence of night time muscle cramps (called a "charlie horse").
In an evacuation, oats are a great food to bring along. Store a bag in the trunk of your car, in the bottom drawer of your desk at work, and of course keep a few bags in your pantry to get your family through a time of extended disaster. Have parents that are well along in their years? A few bags of rolled oats can go along way to prepare an elderly parent as well. The older people get, the more important things like dietary fiber and potassium become to living without pain and discomfort. A 50 lb bag of rolled oats provides several dozen servings, and will go a long way: Oats vs White Rice as a Survival Food.

Kim Jung Un Loves Binoculars, But Not for Bird Watching
Any one else noticed this? Kim Jung Un (North Korea's supreme leader) loves to be photographed holding binoculars. So many photos have been taken of Kim Jung Un looking through binoculars at U.S. defenses across the water or at South Korea's defenses across the DMZ that there must be some intelligence behind these widely circulated photos.
Here's Kim Jung Un latest pair of binoculars, I don't know what you call this thing: Kim Jung Un's latest binoculars
If you noticed, this picture is from Reuters. So, North Korea's leader and his brass yet again pose for Western photographers with Kim Jung Un holding a pair of binoculars.
Figure this one out, U.S. intelligence.
Here's what I think: Kim Jung Un's regime is probably using a psychological tactic on the U.S. and South Korea. He wants us to see him as an aggressor and a predator on the move. Now why would he want to do that? He wants our full attention.
Which means this might be a smoke screen... leaving the U.S. and allies open to something coming from an unexpected direction.

Improvising in a Disaster or Emergency - Learn from Free D-I-Y Videos
Surviving a disaster or other emergency often calls for improvising.
We've just added a new section with a few Do-it-yourself survival videos, teaching everything from simple desalination (turning salt water into pure drinking water), building an emergency camp stove out of a pop can, and also ways to start a fire using water and a plastic bottle or just Saran wrap.
More videos in the coming days ...
Paul Osborn runs TheOudoorAdventure.net. Why am I giving him a plug? He's helped me out with the most recent Do-it-Yourself survival videos ... Sam Coffman, Special Forces and survival school instructor, has some videos coming as well, that will also be added to the videos page. What I'm looking for first are the most USEFUL videos people can learn from today, in time for TOMORROW'S emergency. Watch the videos and comment, if you have a moment. Maybe you can suggest some alternative ways to get the job done?

How to Drill Your Own Well Water
We have a free report we give away to newsletter subscribers, "5 New Ways to Survive Disaster" who visit our site. A number of you are already subscribers and have accessed this free report. One of the survival strategies we detail, for surviving a long term disaster (and I'll go ahead and share it here, as this may help a few of you) is on the subject of Well water.
In a time of widespread disaster, your local water company could be knocked off line, even destroyed. Now, with no water from the tap, all you have to survive off is bottled water. Not necessarily. For those of you in the suburbs and outlying towns, you can turn to wells.
Here's a great site to digging your own well by hand. Here's a YouTube video from the site owner.
What if your strategy is to "bug out", rather than "bug in", where you have to abandon your current well? If you "Bug out", you can still possibly turn to well digging. There is underground water in many areas of the U.S., including wilderness areas. Knowing how to find it is the first step; the second step, in a "bug out" scenario, would be knowing how to dig a well (and safely) by hand. Check out these links for more info. Good luck.

Big, Bad, Bugs - Quarter Size Mosquitoes Invade Florida
On SecretsofSurvival.com, you'll notice that some of our articles are "doomsday scenarios" and date back to 2007. We published an article that year called "Strange Weather: Monster Storms, Wildfires, and Earthquakes -- is this Global Warming or is this 'Something Else'?. Again, that was 2007. What have you seen since 2007? You've seen a "pattern of escalation". Weather events, storms, wildfires and earthquakes have hit harder in a number of places and struck areas with higher populations. Add to this close brushes with asteroids recently. With that said, notice this news report from CNN yesterday: Quarter size mosquitos invade Florida.
These quarter size mosquitoes are said in this CNN video to cause a sting that feels like a knife. We ran an article on the topic of bugs as well, predicting that large insects would be a problem at some point in the near future. Search our site for, "Is an Insect Plague Possible?" Why would we predict an insect plague? Well, let me first tell you this: (Read full post)

Illegals and Terrorists Crossing Our Northern Border from Canada
This just in, reported on Fox News today ... Discovery Channel's documentary show about Homeland Security on the look out for illegals crossing the NORTHERN border (our border with Canada) reveals what we already have known for the last few years: Terrorists have been crossing into the U.S. from Canada. If you didn't know, in cities like Toronto, CA there is a large Islamic population; there are likely several who support terrorist hatred aimed at the U.S. Each year that goes by more terrorists cross into America; what are they doing though once they get here? The glaring lack of any substantial terrorist attack in recent years (also considering that there have been no major arrests of several terror cells, just occasional arrests) reveals that most likely terrorists are crossing into American and now just waiting. Waiting for what? The Next 9-11?

Is North Korea Really the Threat Shown in the New Red Dawn?
Red Dawn is back, and it's on DVD, but this time minus Patrick Swayze. Now it's Thor playing the lead role (well not "Thor" but the actor that plays Thor, Chris Hemsworth). I'm talking about the new Red Dawn, the one where all references to the Chinese military attacking the U.S. were strangely "removed" from the new movie (who influenced that piece of editing?), and in place of China, North Korea was substituted in. On SecretsofSurvival you'll find a few "What If" scenarios -- some of you might call it fear mongering... in that case, this next article is fear mongering on steroids ... Rather than call it fear mongering, pause for a moment and ask the question like we asked the question ... What if all this RUCKUS going on in North Korea isn't just a circus act? What's going on in North Korea is a circus, that's for sure. But, as you're about to read here (if you'll take a few minutes), is it actually an act? How much does America really have to fear from North Korea. Click on: North Korea and Red Dawn - How Real is the Threat?

Delusional Neighbor, Murderous Threats, History of Violence
Here's a brain teaser ... if your neighbor proclaimed to his friends and family that he was in contact with the "Messiah" and at the same time made murderous threats to several people in the neighborhood, wouldn't the police be called? Wouldn't this man be locked away in a mental institution for "losing his mind"?
Several witnesses would fill out police reports and a judge would have this man committed for being a danger to society, due to his delusions and threats to murder people. ... (Read full post)

The Secret to Saving Money on Produce - Window Farming
Window Urban Farming in Brooklyn (NY) apartments ... BusinessInsider reported today that Windowfarms call for simple methods for growing plants (without the need for soil) using a hydroponic growing system. These plants hang from windows vertically, indoors. So you may have four or more plants growing in pots, hanging from the top of the window cell, to the bottom of the window cell.
Then there are other methods of urban farming, like "Square foot gardening" (that even the elderly and disabled can implement in an urban setting). Here's a detailed article on building a survival garden that can help provide produce in a time of food shortages.

Do You Have a Survival Instinct?
A lot of our readers have an interest in wilderness survival, learning how to live off the land, as well as primitive skills. Maybe you like to take the kids camping, hiking, or fishing, and want to be prepared ... or maybe you're one of our younger readers, just a teen. Then you land on our site and find a lot more than wilderness survival. You see articles, like "How to Survive a School Shooting" and "How to Survive a Home Invasion", and maybe you wonder, what does that have to do with survival? Consider for a moment that *you* are a lot likely to be in a survival situation in the area that you live, before you find yourself in an emergency or simply lost, deep in the wilderness. Like this teen: He just possibly saved the life of another teen on a school bus, by tackling another teen who pulled a gun. FoxNews: High school student tackles, disarms gunman. Know this ** Quick thinking ** is an incredible survival tactic ... I had someone comment on one of our articles, wondering why we would advise students to "fight back" and use security tactics to take down an armed shooter that has opened fire on students in a high school or college. If you read the article on Fox News today, now you know why: Students can **fight back** and use security tactics to take down an armed shooter. Read the article, Indiana Jones and the Secret of Survival. Learn what it means to have a "survival instinct" and how to develop it. Knowing how to read and respond to danger can help you beat dangerous people at their own game.

Could the U.S. Ever See Martial Law?
Could the U.S. ever see Martial Law? There's a lot of talk both on and offline about the danger of Martial Law taking place. That means there's a lot of concern and some it is wrapped around the big debate about gun control today. Fact is, the threat of a home owner with a gun probably makes quite a few violent criminals think twice about breaking in. Every day, throughout America, that a violent criminal doesn't break in and murder someone, that's a day that a gun has saved a life. So, guns save lives every day. Guns in the hands of criminals though, or those battling demons, mental illness, whatever you want you to call it -- that's another story. ** Update to our page: How to Survive Martial Law in America ** Sound off in the comments section following the article. It would be great to hear some differing opinions on what to do, should that day ever come.

Just when you thought Al Qaeda and Iran-supported Hezbollah and several other Islamic terror groups were backing off the threats they've made to America, here's a headline now sweeping the internet news sites: "Al Qaida Hit Squads Coming to America" (put that one into Google). The first site to air that headline was WorldNetDaily -- this site has tons of readers, but not many liberals, WND hits on too many topics that don't go over well with the "left". So what about this new threat from Radical Islam? Haven't we heard it before? I was about to ignore this latest headline about "Al Qaida Hit Squads Coming to America", when I paused to read the author's credentials for a moment: "Reza Kahlili, author of the award-winning book "A Time to Betray," served in CIA Directorate of Operations, as a spy in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, counterterrorism expert; currently serves on the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, an advisory board to Congress and the advisory board of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI). He regularly appears in national and international media as an expert on Iran and counterterrorism in the Middle East." ... That author has some credentials. All I have to say now is this: Maybe that Al Qaeda threat isn't going away... What a crummy time for the U.S. Can't someone send Al Qaeda an email through a Jihad site and ask them to give us some time to patch up the economy first and bring in a new president? Al Qaeda, we're not ready for this. (You know, I think Al Qaeda will listen. They're all about fighting fair. That thing about suicide bombers, well that's the "old Al Qaeda". The "new Al Qaeda" is a much "softer" Al Qaeda, more understanding. Maybe we should just open our arms to them? Put them on a government program, give them visas and a place to live. That seems to solve all our other problems, doesn't it? Actually, they already have those visas, and a lot of them are already living here. So where is this going? Stay tuned...

Are China and Russia in cahoots with Iran and North Korea?
So... here's a coffee table discussion ... Are China and Russia in cahoots with Iran and North Korea? ... This is a question asked by the Pentagon and CIA, we can be certain, so why not ask it here? The code name for this topic is "Red Dawn". Yeah, as in the Red Dawn movie that came out in the early 1980s, portraying the days following a third world war that results in an actual invasion of America by Communist forces. With all the hype in 2007 - 2008 of the threat of a nuclear attack by Al Qaeda on an American city, we asked the question... well, if America *is ever* attacked by Al Qaeda nukes (supplied perhaps by Iran or North Korea or Pakistan nowadays), would other nations like China and Russia just watch? Or would they make a power grab, if America was no longer a sovereign nation and had collapsed from within? This article explores just how it might all go down (and how it all might be going down as we speak) ... The Last Days of America

Increase in Violent Home Invasions
A search on Google News for "violent home invasion" brings up several articles and new reports of home invasion robberies taking place, where armed intruders burst into homes, catch home owners typically by surprise, sometimes beat them, sometimes use tasers on them, and ultimately rob them. Some home invasions end in murder. So who cares? Isn't this just an average day of crime in America and other nations? Sure, you can say that. But home invasions and violent crime itself is up in several cities and counties (though you could argue it might be down in others). Whatever the data says, in a down economy more people are going to turn to crime, and more criminals are willing to strike violently. Knowledge that law enforcement numbers are dropping, due to budget cuts, is likely to embolden criminals. One word of caution for all you living safe and secure in the suburbs: home invasions happen in the suburbs also, even in places that are not typically known for crime. How is that? Because criminals in major cities, perhaps within 10 - 20 miles of a well to do suburb, know that these places are often easy to strike, due to the "security" usually felt by people living in the suburbs. That makes the suburbs an attractive place to strike, especially nice areas. Entire families can be taken hostage; homes can be thoroughly cleaned out. Because the threat of a violent home invasions is only likely to increase, I've added a new article to SecretsofSurvival today: How to Survive a Violent Home Invasion. I went to Military.com for tips on the topic of home security, guns, and home invasions (refer to the link within the article under "References"). Keep in mind, you're on SecretsofSurvival -- we added our own twist to the tactics they provided, and give a few additional tips -- additional measures that your family can take to survive, fight, and escape a violent home invasion.

Warren Buffett's Doomsday Predictions
Lots of violence coming to Las Vegas in the last two months... enough to make a Time Magazine report today. Now, you've heard of trend watchers in business? The smarter a person is at watching trends, and then predicting where those trends are going, the more money they can make in the stock market. Think Warren Buffet. What if we got Warren Buffett to analyze events taking place in the world today, maybe give him a television show, call it "Doomsday Market Place"? Here's what I think he'd say about a surge in violent crime, a lot like this recent surge in Las Vegas. WARREN BUFFETT: "Crime will continue to erupt in U.S. cities. This is a trend; that means we can make the prediction it will continue, because their is nothing we can foresee to interrupt the trend. The spike in natural disasters striking populated regions will continue also. There is nothing I foresee to interrupt the trend. More Al Qaeda propaganda will spread through Jihad web sites and spread among homegrown radicals in the United States. Hatred for the U.S. will grow in the Middle East with the continued attacks by U.S. drones. This hatred will spread through Jihad websites and more radical Islamic sympathizers will sign on. American budget cuts in the military and local law enforcement lay-offs will result in the likelihood of Islamic radicals striking successfully on American soil... strikes that will continue, each one inciting the next...

CNN: Al Qaeda: 22 Tips for Avoiding Drones ... It looks like Al Qaeda's taken a few tips from the pages of SecretsofSurvival.com ... laugh... CNN reports a how to list of tips for "avoiding a drone strike". A few months ago we wrote, posted an article: How to Survive a Drone Strike. I checked out the CNN report and similar techniques are mentioned that are mentioned in our article. Of course avoiding drone strikes doesn't take an expert in evasive maneuvering. It does take some out of the box planning though. Al Qaeda had some new tips to offer, one which calls for setting up a small number of dummies (mannequins) so that they look like a gathering of terrorists, from the air. These mannequins would then fool a Predator drone, which would let loose a missile, blowing the mannequins to pieces. All the while terrorists could meet safely away a short distance away and out of sight of enemy eyes in the sky.
Sasquatch - UK trial reveals new al Qaeda strategy
CNN: UK trial reveals new al Qaeda strategy ... Ok, when I clicked on this report, my first thought was... Al Qaeda's new strategy is to disguise themselves as Sasquatch. On a serious note though, this trial shows how the Al Qaeda propaganda is spreading among radical Muslims here in America, and how they're training one another in bomb making and plotting attacks, perhaps much in the same way "preppers" are teaching and training each other for survival in the wake of any number of catastrophic disasters -- including widespread terrorist attacks. CNN writes: "The new strategy involves a teacher-training approach in which a select few Western operatives are taught bombmaking and other aspects of terrorist tradecraft in the tribal areas of Pakistan and are then instructed to return back to the West to "spread the knowledge" to a larger body of Islamist extremists keen on launching attacks." So, across America we have Preppers getting together to prep. Then we have American hating, Islam loving domestic radicals doing their own preps, being trained by radicals from Pakistan, etc, who have made it to America, and -- according to CNN -- are here to teach and train, perhaps "raise up an army". That sounds like something Bin Laden might have said. All of this is like a Rocky movie that never made it to the screen. Lots of training, getting ready for the big fight. Some people believe all these reports of Al Qaeda plotting attacks in America will never amount to anything. I'm not sure though. It sure seems like every year there are only more radicals, more anger and hate in Islamic nations like Pakistan and Syria ... and of course Iran ... and we're giving them more time to "prep", more time to arm up, more time to build bombs ... right here, right here in America.
What's Inside a Navy SEAL Survival Kit? Stranded in Hostile Territory
CampingSurvival shared a link today: Time Magazine: Navy Seal Survival Kit, Stranded in Hostile Territory . At the link, Time Magazine provides a list of items the Navy wants in every SEAL survival kit. Now, if you're not sure about the survival tools we've suggested on SecretsofSurvival, consider the survival tools recommended for small, hand carried "survival kits" for the U.S. Navy SEALS. A lot of these tools are the same. Here's one item we discussed in our Free Report, "5 New Ways to Survive Disaster": A universal handcuff key. (Subscribe to our newsletter to get the free report sent to your email.) Turns out the Navy wants SEALS to carry one also. Maybe that's a reminder that in an increasingly dangerous world, it doesn't hurt to have that universal handcuff key.
U.S. Army and Marines Conducting Military Exercises in U.S. Cities
Why are news stations in various U.S. cities reporting on drills involving attack helicopters, guns and troops? I shared on our Facebook page (and yesterday's blog post, scroll down) that the Pentagon is likely concerned about possible attacks on the homeland, and now holding training exercises, where a small number of troops (Army or Marines for example) practice "counter terrorism" alongside local law enforcement in an urban environment.
Who knows why they're actually doing the training. I'm someone on the outside looking in, like a lot of us. What do we see? An American government that looks and sounds a bit scared. I'm saying this on the heels of 6 + years of watching our government take steps to prepare for the "day after" a nuclear attack on an American city. That has been well documented in the news in places like the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, etc (there are articles on this site with links to various news reports recording the threat). I've had writers in the past, as well as myself, research the extent of the terrorist threat to America; in that research we found a threat that appears bigger than just Al Qaeda. Today the threat involves a handful of nations with the resources, dollars, people and brain power to bring a crippling number of attacks on the U.S. Nations like Russia and China see America as a nemesis, and have long seen our nation as a threat, and in many ways despise the people (specifically the rich elite) who are involved in America's government. So, today, when we see Russia and China supporting nations like Iran and North Korea while making alliances with nations in Central America, like Venezuela, an outspoken enemy of the U.S., our Pentagon has more to worry about today than they did during the Cold War. ... This is the reason why American forces may be conducting training in U.S. cities today; in preparation for possible defense of the homeland; an impossible scenario in the eyes of average Americans; but a possible (becoming more probable each year that passes) in the eyes of the Pentagon. Cyber attacks from both China and Russia, supplying arms to nations like Iran and Venezuela and North Korea (outspoken enemies of America) remind us that they do not have America's best interest at heart. I hope this doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory. I don't consider myself to be a "conspiracy guy"; not the way I approach my research anyway. On top of that, I stay away from conspiracy sites; I hope to be discerning and thorough when I attempt to connect these dots. I want to know the truth. Thus the extensive research in the past.
Now we can keep living life, sheltered from the kind of knowledge people higher up at the Pentagon may have. Or we can do our own investigating, helped by the vast reach of the internet nowadays, the Freedom of Information Act, and even others who are also concerned about threats to the American homeland. That's the group I find myself in from time to time. That is why my readers will sometimes see "doomsday scenarios" on SecretsofSurvival.com that sound far-fetched, but unfortunately may not really be as far-fetched as they might seem.
If I would have told you about 9-11 a week before it happened, most people would have said "that's far-fetched. That will never happen." But it did.

U.S. Military Holds "Counter Terrorism" Drills in Houston, Miami
More news outlets are reporting on U.S. military drills taking place here in the homeland. The Pentagon would probably want us to think of these as "counter terrorism" drills. So what do I make of the U.S. military, Army and Marines conducting training in a few U.S. cities (like Houston and Miami)? I think these exercises go further than simply "counter terrorism". The U.S. military wants to be prepared to defend the homeland, should all these fears of widespread terrorist attacks ever unfold, and should foreign nations that support Iran and North Korea (like Russia, China, and Venezuela) ever play a role in an attack on the homeland. Yes, this is a doomsday scenario; 20 years ago it was a Cold War fear; Today, the fear has evolved. In the U.S. eyes, there are a few more players to worry about; on top of that all these nations that are worrying America, are in bed together, which gives weight to the worries. ... and then on top of that, are you hearing all the talk about the toxic air over major cities in Beijing and their increasingly toxic food supply? ... America, with cleaner air, large reserves of natural gas and oil, large quantities of farmland, may be looking pretty tempting to Beijing. The worse the air and food get in Beijing, the better America is going to look. Maybe that's another reason why U.S. forces are holding these drills in American cities.
Here's another way to look at it. If life on other planets -- as the theory goes -- ever needed a new home, because it's home had become unfit to live, and this life found planet Earth -- with cleaner air, lots of water, and natural resources -- would they be a danger to us? Screenwriters and science fiction authors would say yes, of course, they'd be a danger. Well then ... what about China? China's air in major cities is becoming toxic, so is their food supply. And it's getting bad from the sound of things ... and it's only going to get worse, and probably faster than China wants to admit. So what is China going to do about it?
That my friends could be why China ends up in bed with Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and the American government becomes increasingly worried about these alliances and feels a need to prepare. We may see more U.S. military drills in more U.S. cities in the coming months.

Chinese Military: Suspected Threat of Massive Cyber Attack
NBC News reports that an American security firm has tracked hacking across multiple private sector networks to the Chinese Military, from a base operating out of Shanghai. China denies the hacking but the U.S. is sure that China is behind this. The next day, NBC News runs the headline: "'Not based in fact': China angrily denies being behind widespread US hacking". What else do you expect though? Is China (who is suspected to be connected with international organized crime at varying levels) really the kind of government that would admit to industrial espionage? You have to ask the question next, how far does this espionage go? Probably deeper than simply taking trade secrets from companies. The Pentagon has suffered it's own computer attacks in recent months leading government officials to declare cyber war as an imminent threat to America's security.
Cave full of weapons discovered by California deputies
It looks like someone's "Bug Out" cave was snatched by the feds. But this was something a bit different than someone's remote hide-away for escaping a collapse should A-H-B-L (all Hell break loose). Authorities say this cave in Humboldt County, CA was stocked with assault rifles, ammunition, a belt-fed machine gun, drugs (marijuana) and cars. Some of this property was stolen, including jewelry found on the property and various construction equipment, chainsaws, and even a tractor. I have to say this is probably what happens when crooks watch television shows like "Doomsday Preppers". Sure, authorities say many of these goods may have been intended for sale, but is that really the case? Sounds more like a pot smoking outlaw prepping for doomsday.

Asteroid Explodes in the Sky over Russia, Over a Thousand Injured
What happens when an asteroid strikes a modern day city? ... After so many warnings in recent years about asteroids, CNN reports that an asteroid just injured 1000 people in Russia, exploding in a boom that shattered glass. Scientists say if it would have struck a city, it would have destroyed it. So how do you survive a collision with an asteroid? We have two articles on asteroid impacts and survival (use the search bar at the top of the site to locate these articles. Search for "how to survive an asteroid impact"). I would say we are due now to publish a new article on asteroids also -- especially since these NEAR MISSES may become more frequent. Is this some kind of "sign" that we can expect more? Sign of what? Climate change ... I don't know about that. Maybe God??? A question many people don't seem willing to ask. Why would that be? Love you guys, thanks for reading SecretsofSurvival.com.
