I'm not concerned about being vaporized - I know exactly where I and my family are going. It's surviving a nuclear blast that gets to me.
I don't know if you've seen the movie commercial, but I was recently freaked-out when I saw the commercial for:
"The Sum of All Fears"
Action/Adventure
The fourth film starring Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan character, this time Ben Affleck stars in the role made famous by Harrison Ford. In this installment, European neo-Nazi terrorists acquire a nuclear device and plan to use it at the Super Bowl, blaming the attack on Russia in the hopes of rekindling the Cold War. Luckily, CIA analyst Jack Ryan is on the case.
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for violence, disaster images and brief strong language.
My friend Leo read a review on the movie that said it isn't that great. A lot of shots of info gathering around the globe, and close to the end, boom. People pushed through walls, gore, etc. It doesn't surprise me that Hollywood has no tact whatsoever; we're just getting over Sept. 11, and now this fear-packed movie?
Well, what can we do? Bush's new federal beureaucracy under Ridge, and by our VP, and by FBI, etc., continuously send us news that we should be on alert for doom, yet we're not told what we can do to prepare!
So, we should just sit here and get vaporized or wait for radiation clouds to shower us with fallout for a slow painful death? That's what they're telling us by their lack of action!
Do we hand over our Constitutional rights and hope that "federal government" takes care of us? NO!
(See http://www.alec.org/ on Help Stop The Dangerous Model State Emergency Health Powers Act)
"They that would give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin
Has allowing our elected officials to grow our federal government by adding the "department of this" and the "bureau of that" done us any good? NO! We've just allowed ourselves to have 4 months of our gross income given directly to these monstrosities?
What has our monstrous federal government done to protect us from nuclear threats?!
Snip from later in this page:
"Yet more than 15 years after the Chernobyl meltdown in the Ukraine and more than 20 years after America's own Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania, the federal government does not currently stockpile the potentially lifesaving KI pills for the general population." [KI pills help stop radiation fallout-causing cancer.]
Well, I'm fed-up, so I did some digging, and now I'm sharing my findings with You!

Potassium Iodide Anti-Radiation Pill
Here's a snip of a related article:
Anti-Radiation Pill In Short Supply
By Michael L. Betsch
CNSNews.com Editorial Assistant
November 30, 2001
http://www.cnsnews.com/Nation/Archive/200111/NAT20011130b.html
(CNSNews.com) - Here's one bottle of pills you may want to add to your medicine chest -- potassium iodide (KI). If you can find the over the counter drug, it's your only weapon against radiation-induced thyroid cancer should a nuclear explosion or meltdown occur in your city or town.
"The concept is that potassium iodide will inhibit radioactive iodine absorption into the thyroid gland," said Dr. Kenneth Burman who chairs the endocrinology department at the Washington Hospital Center in the nation's capital. "You can't take it many days or weeks later; it has to be pretty fast," he said.
According to Burman, "it is expected that the incidence of nodules and cancer will be less in the population that takes it within an appropriate time frame of when the accident occurs."
Yet more than 15 years after the Chernobyl meltdown in the Ukraine and more than 20 years after America's own Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania, the federal government does not currently stockpile the potentially lifesaving KI pills for the general population.
However, Shane Connor said he has an ample supply of KI for sale at his online store, http://www.KI4U.com . The potassium iodide tablets are "very inexpensive," he said, adding, "you can get a bottle that has 100 doses for an adult or 200 doses for a child for under $25 - and that's a good deal.
"We went from maybe a dozen orders a day prior to Sept. 11 to a twenty-fold increase," Connor said of his online sales of KI tablets.
The American Civil Defense Association's (TACDA) Alex Coleman remarked that prior to Sept. 11, the sale of 15 bottles of KI a month was a good month. Now, he said, "on average, we probably are selling about 500 a month."
Both Connor and Coleman said they were not interested in profiting from the fear induced by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Both KI4U.com and TACDA have been selling and providing educational information to the public about the benefits of potassium iodide for a number of years.
In fact, Connor said most developed nations in the world have manufactured and stockpiled KI for over 15 years in case there is another Chernobyl. The U.S., he said, has been "talking about it for over 20 years - ever since Three Mile Island."
My old Jr. High had one. That's the only place I ever knew that had one. My old Jr. High is now demolished, along with the only bomb shelter I've ever known of near me.
What's going on?!!! Most European countries require bomb shelters in every town!
Don't depend on Big Brother! Listen to Benjamin Franklin!!
Learn about what bomb shelters do for you and how you can buy one at:
You can have a nuclear blast shelter built for you for only $1,500 to $3,200! Yes it's not hopeless! We can really survive a nuclear blast!

If nukes are ever used by any of the warring participants over there, we could soon be in deep trouble over here, too, * even if * in the unlikely event we had managed somehow not to get involved and it all ended as quick as it began.

The Reserve (Citizen) Militia of The United States of America
| The "unorganized" or reserve militia is a legal and lawful part of the armed forces of this nation. It is a military organization recognized by the Second Amendment of the Constitution; Title 10, Section 311 USC; the Dick Act of 1903; the National Defense Act of 1916; and affirmed by numerous court decisions. |
| There is no ambiguity. The "unorganized" citizens militia is not the National Guard or the state "select" militia under the governor, or part of the "organized" armed forces of the federal government. It is literally the entire body of armed citizenry. |
| Although the "unorganized" militia can be called up for lawful (Constitutional) purposes, it is not under the direct control of any state or political jurisdiction. It represents the authority and power of the People over the government and stands as the last defense of the citizens of this country against domestic tyrant. |
| Purpose and Authority of the Militia: |
| The purpose of the militia as defined by the Constitution is to: |
|
| These provisions affirm the right of the People to defend themselves and their republican form of government from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. That means that the People, as the militia have the right to fight, if necessary, oppressive government, to prevent the usurpation of the Constitution (the supreme law of the land), by anyone, including the federal government. |
| The authority, duty, and obligation of the citizens, acting as the militia, is clearly expressed in our Declaration of Independence: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it...," further, "...it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,..." Together, these provisions codify the natural rights of all citizens to defense of self, family, and country. |
| "The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."- Thomas Jefferson |
| Membership: |
| With the exception of certain public officials, all able-bodied men between the ages of 17 and 45 not currently in the regular armed forces or National Guard, and any former member of the regular armed forces, are by law already members of the "unorganized" militia. Law requiring regular militia participation are no longer enforced. |
| With very few restrictions, membership in the militia must be open to all citizens regardless of race, sex, religious or political affiliation. Units not open to public membership and/or which are organized for any purpose other than support of Constitutional principles may be considered private armies and not to be confused with the Constitutional "unorganized" militia. |
| As a practical matter, effort should be made to incorporate only citizens of good character in the militia. Those who advocate criminal activity, terrorism, revolution, or a change from our republican form of government should not be tolerated. This implies that militia members should understand the duties and obligations of both citizens and government under our Constitution. |
| Elements of Militia Organization: |
| The basic elements necessary for the formation of a militia unit include an organizational meeting which is open to members of the public; an affirmation and consensus on the purpose of the organization; and the election of officers. |
| The distinction between a political action group organized to promote Constitutional government and a militia is the military orientation and apolitical orientation of the latter. Both groups must work together in support of mutual goals. Individuals may participate in both. But, the militia prepare, train, and equip as a response group in the fashion of the Minutemen of Concord and Lexington for the defense of self and community. |
| Therefore, to be recognized as a militia unit, the organization should adopt written code of conduct and organization, have a distinctive uniform or method of identification, and implement a training program to fulfill the "well-regulated" disciplinary requirement of the Second Amendment. |
| Militia Implementation: |
| A Militia unit can not and will not become a viable military organization, or have any potential for effective response, until the talk stops and purposeful organization begins. Elected officers must effectively organize group efforts and provide for training, unit organization, response strategies, intelligence, and security. Logistics officer(s) must ensure the acquisition of resources consistent with the tactical role assumed by the unit. Every member must acquire and develop proficiency in the use of firearms, field and specialized equipment (ex: communications) as appropriate. Each member should be committed to the purpose and goals of the militia. |
| To be "well-regulated" the group must be organized, and have an effective means of communications, transport and logistic support. Unit and individual effectiveness, and perhaps even survival, depends upon consistent and frequent training, group familiarity, and the ability to work together as a unit. A regular established program is essential for effective organization. |
| Supplementary Guidelines: |
| The militia is the natural adversary of those who promote the socialist New World Order and pervert our form of government without the approval of the People. Those who stand in the gap between the People and unconstitutional world government invite censure and conflict. |
| The militia does not stand alone. Whenever possible units should work to enlist the support of the community, auxiliary members, and law enforcement. Militia units should in turn support their local elected officials, sheriff, or police force in the lawful exercise of their authority. |
| The militia embodies the spirit and ideals of our forefathers and is comprised of men and women who are committed to defend our Constitutional Republic. An unquenchable patriotic spirit compels us to stand for the individual freedoms, liberty, and sovereignty guaranteed by our Constitution. The militia must stand for what is moral, lawful, and right if it is to prevail in adversity. |
| "In the Beginning of a Change, the Patriot is a Scarce Man, and Brave and Hated and Scorned. When his Cause Succeeds, the Timid Join Him, for then it Costs Nothing to be a Patriot." Mark Twain |

More than 2 million people
in 30 states now have licenses to carry concealed handguns for self defense.
If you carry a gun for personal protection, or plan to, you need The
Concealed Handgun Manual. It could save your life!

What the Experts are Saying about "I know at least two of the shooting incident survivors in The
Concealed Handgun Manual, and Chris tells their stories to you as
they told them to me. I'm impressed with the "street reality" of this book.
Chris Bird goes beyond the usual hardware and into the critical software:
the ethics, the morality, the emotional and psychological elements of
preparation, survival, and aftermath in a way that gives his book the third
dimension of depth. I would recommend The Concealed Handgun Manual
for the library of anyone who goes armed in public. It will remain a part
of mine." "Outstanding! What I like is the anecdotes. It's a really good book
for someone who is not sure if they want to carry. It definitely fills a
need." "Chris Bird's text on this important subject is thorough and expert.
Highly recommended!" "An excellent guide to responsible, safe, and lawful exercise of the
right to bear arms. Useful for persons who carry licensed firearms for
protection, and for persons who want a better understanding of this
controversial, important subject." "Chris Bird's work on concealed carry comes at an appropriate time on
this important issue. The book is well written, illustrated and very
informative." "Mr. Bird has relied on his own years of experience and extensive
research to compile an intelligent and well laid-out work. Detailed case
studies have been used to validate theories and techniques. Not only does
the book cover firearms and their safe and tactical use, The
Concealed Handgun Manual also offers some interesting and poignant
commentary on current societal views. Recommended reading material." "After reading The Concealed Handgun Manual by Chris
Bird it is apparent that a book has finally been written that teaches the
proper techniques needed to safely carry a handgun concealed. The techniques
used and applied are both life saving and practical. Survival is what this
manual is about and for that reason I personally recommend it to everyone
who carries a concealed handgun, both civilian and law enforcement. At
OffShoots Training Institute survival is our number one objective and I
believe that Chris Bird's number one objective is the same." Chapter TitlesOne: Why Carry a Gun? The Police Can't Protect You. Two: Staying Out of Trouble: Non-Violent Dispute Resolution. Three: Choosing a Handgun: Semi-automatics and Revolvers. Four: How to Carry: Holsters and Other Accessories. Five: Avoiding Accidents: Safety and Handling. Six: Basic Handgun Shooting: Watch the Front Sight. Seven: Advanced Handgun Shooting: Back Up and Move to Cover. Eight: Winning a Gunfight: Mind-set and Tactics. Nine: Deadly Force: When to Use It and What Happens When You Do. Ten: Practice: Your Life Depends On It. Eleven: State Concealed-Handgun Laws. From the Foreword . . .As a long-time handgun shooter and a former crime reporter for a big city newspaper, Chris (Bird) is imminently qualified to write on this subject. In a way that no single expert might do, Chris has brought together the philosophies and tactics of many self-defense masters. He has provided a comprehensive overview simple enough for the first-time shooter to understand, and from which even experienced shooters can gain insight. I believe that in reading this book, many shooters can develop a mind-set to keep them out of trouble. The Concealed Handgun Manual is a must buy for anyone who considers carrying a concealed handgun for personal protection. Studying the text is a learning experience which will increase your awareness and understanding of the principles of pistolcraft and the mental discipline needed to win a gunfight. The book has valuable and potentially life-saving tips to incorporate into your training and dry-fire sessions. It is an outstanding, enjoyable and very readable book. Each chapter begins with a true-life account of actual shootings and events where handguns were used in self defense by private citizens as well as law enforcement officers. These anecdotes are exciting, educational, and well researched. They provide examples of how others have faced deadly force and survived. This is not just a book for those interested in the Texas concealed handgun license. The text is of vital interest to anyone concerned with armed defense in a violent society. In addition, Chris has provided a summary of the laws and concealed-carry license statistics for each of the 31 states that allow law-abiding citizens to carry guns for protection. This book is for you, regardless where you live. The Concealed Handgun Manual ranks with the best publications available for making an educated and informed decision about legally carrying a handgun for personal protection. I highly recommend you add it to your library. Ted Bonnet
