Holidays & Events For May

National Day of Prayer May 3 2018 National Day of Prayer is held on the first Thursday of May each year, inviting Americans of all faiths to pray for the country and its leaders.

Background: In 1775 the Continental Congress allocated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of prayer, including from President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.

The National Prayer Committee was formed in the United States in 1972. It went on to create the National Day of Prayer Task Force, with the intended purpose of coordinating events for the National Day of Prayer. According to the Legal Information Institute, the President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.

Mother’s Day May 10, 2018 ​From all of us here ​Happy Mother’s Day ​to all the moms out there.

Background The origins of Mother's Day are attributed to different people. Many believe that two women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were important in establishing the tradition of Mother's Day in the United States. Other sources say that Juliet Calhoun Blakely initiated Mother’s Day in Albion, Michigan, in the late 1800s. Her sons paid tribute to her each year and urged others to honor their mothers.

Around 1870, Julia Ward Howe called for Mother's Day to be celebrated each year to encourage pacifism and disarmament amongst women. It continued to be held in Boston for about ten years under her sponsorship, but died out after that.

In 1907, Anna Jarvis held a private Mother's Day celebration in memory of her mother, Ann Jarvis, in Grafton, West Virginia. Ann Jarvis had organized "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to improve health and cleanliness in the area where she lived. Anna Jarvis launched a quest for Mother's Day to be more widely recognized. Her campaign was later financially supported by John Wanamaker, a clothing merchant from Philadelphia.

In 1908, she was instrumental in arranging a service in the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which was attended by 407 children and their mothers. The church has now become the International Mother's Day Shrine. It is a tribute to all mothers and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.

Mother's Day has become a day that focuses on generally recognizing mothers' and mother figures' roles. Mother's Day has also become an increasingly important event for businesses in recent years. This is particularly true of restaurants and businesses manufacturing and selling cards and gift items.

National Missing Children's May 25, 2018 ​This is something that I am a strong advocate for and doesn’t get enough attention

due to all the chaos & distractions that we are bombarded with everyday. We have heard of all the Human Trafficking and Sex trafficking rings that have been busted in the last year and half most of which have involved children but get hardly no media attention.

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year – more than 2,000 children every day. An estimated 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before age 18. Yet, only 1 in 3 will tell anyone.

According to the United States Department of Justice; ● Less than 2 percent of all violent crimes against juveniles reported to police involve kidnapping.

4

● There are three distinct types of kidnapping: kidnapping by a relative of the victim or “family kidnapping” (49 percent), kidnapping by an acquaintance of the victim or “acquaintance kidnapping” (27 percent), and kidnapping by a stranger to the victim or “stranger kidnapping” (24 percent). ● Family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, involves a larger percentage of female perpetrators (43 percent) than other types of kidnapping offenses, occurs more frequently to children under 6, equally victimizes juveniles of both sexes, and most often originates in the home. ● Acquaintance kidnapping involves a comparatively high percentage of juvenile perpetrators, has the largest percentage of female and teenage victims, is more often associated with other crimes (especially sexual and physical assault), occurs at homes and residences, and has the highest percentage of injured victims. ● Stranger kidnapping victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims (although not exclusively so), and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.

The U.S. Department of Justice reports ● 797,500​ children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day. ● 203,900​ children were the victims of family abductions. ● 58,200​ children were the victims of non-family abductions. ● 115​ children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. (These crimes involve someone the child does not know or someone of slight acquaintance, who holds the child overnight, transports the child 50 miles or more, kills the child, demands ransom, or intends to keep the child permanently.)

According to the latest online victimization research, ● Approximately ​one in seven youth​ online (10 to 17-years-old) received a sexual solicitation or approach over the Internet. ● Four percent (4%)​ received an aggressive sexual solicitation – a solicitor who asked to meet them somewhere; called them on the telephone; or sent them offline mail, money, or gifts. ● Thirty-four percent (34%)​ had an unwanted exposure to sexual material — pictures of naked people or people having sex. ● Twenty-seven percent (27%)​ of the youth who encountered unwanted sexual material told a parent or guardian. If the encounter was defined as distressing – episodes that made them feel very or extremely upset or afraid – forty-two percent (42%) told a parent or guardian.

Research indicates that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before adulthood.

Background National Missing Children's Day was first observed in 1983, following a proclamation by U.S. president Ronald Reagan. In the years 1979 to 1981, a series of child abductions shocked the American public. Ethan Patz was six years old when he disappeared on his way to school on May 25, 1979. Although he was never found, the boy was legally declared dead in 2001. His case received a large amount of media attention and ultimately lead to the formation of the missing children's movement. National Missing Children's Day falls on the anniversary of his disappearance.

Memorial Day May 28, 2018 ​From all of us ​Happy Memorial Day ​to all those who have severed & sacrificed

their lives to protect our freedoms & liberties your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Background Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers who had died during the American Civil War. It was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead. After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women who died in any war or military action.

Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. The current name for this day did not come into use until after World War II. Decoration Day and then Memorial Day used to be held on May 30, regardless of the day of the week, on which it fell. In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed as part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends. This meant that that, from 1971, Memorial Day holiday has been officially observed on the last Monday in May. However, it took a longer period for all American states to recognize the new date.

We The People

United We Stand Divided We Fall By: Drew Lima

We have entered a time of age where our Constitutional Rights are all being systematically taken away from us one by one. It seems everyday and every week we see our freedoms being striped away by the states we live in and congress and statesman passing even more laws that lead the way for the stripping our Constitution from every citizen. From our 1st amendment to our 2nd amendment rights and Due Process.

It has gotten to the point where we can no longer express ourselves on social media without fear of being banned or deemed unsafe to community, and it has even gotten to the point that DHS wants to put people on list that they deem may have influenced people on social media for speaking on topics that don’t fit what they deem as the status quo, we have all seen how this works with the no fly lists and people being wrongly accused as domestic terrorist and never notified that they have been put on a list, but even more dangerous is the fact they want to monitor all journalist, bloggers, or anyone they deem as an influencer without notifying them and giving them the right to Due Process. This is very much Unconstitutional, but they say that this is about National Security therefore it Supersedes constitutional law and it does not apply. When in fact it DOES! Since the tragic school shooting we are seeing more and more states passing unconstitutional laws to ban certain types of guns and high capacity magazine. They are using our Children as political weapons support their agenda and sow fear into our children by forcing them to protest and using main stream media to hype it all up. Some of the kids that refused where giving suspensions and detentions. I many case there was no permission slips sent to the parent nor notification to the parents that this was taking place because the kids were not leaving school grounds parents permission was not needed, but that didn’t get covered on the mainstream media nor did the kids that help pro 2nd amendment walks get any coverage. One must ask then who is really influencing people because it was the People that shared these stories not the major news networks…

We are now also seeing Banks join in by refusing to give loans or do business with gun companies and gunsmiths. We have also seen social media platforms start to restrict gun content and bann gun searches on google search engines which I have personally 6

documented in a video here is the link for those that wish to watch it… ​Fact or Fiction Gun store search restricted Over 15 states have made changes to their gun laws it seems like we hear of a new one everyday, but yet no real bills have been passed in congress on this issue but they are not without blame because many of them helped stole this fire but because we are in mid term election they want dirty their hands in fear of not getting re elected. Let's not miss the big picture here what they are really doing is allowing the State’s to make the changes so when enough States do this, then they will come in and pass legislation that will be just as strict as those State’s if not stricter with the end goal of removing 2nd amendment completely from the Constitution. This is why it is just as important to pay attention to what laws are being brought forth at our State Level, just not the Federal level because Congress will say this passed at the State level therefore it is the Will of the People which we know is not true.

Maybe now you can begin to see why they are pushing censorship so hard on the internet and social media platforms. It is very important that they control the narrative and information that is on all these platforms which is why we see Congress calling for censorship against fake news or those that influence and is also why DHS wants to create a database and put people on a list.

How did we get to this point. Well that is very simple to answer it was through division and multiple fronts by attacking our Freedom of Speech, Are Right to Bare Arms, and by creating multiple labels for us to fit into which were designed to further divide our Nation.

That is the simplest answer I can give you without turning this into a book... lol The Truth is all the things I mentioned all fall into one category and that Is Freedom, the very core principle that our Founding Fathers fought and bleed for and that every Soldier who has laid down his life in defense of. We need to find away to Unite and take a stand stop saying that oh it’s that person who cares when you should care as a US Citizen because when they get done with him/her you may be next. Which leads me to another very important point that needs mentioned, and that is once they get that person who you said oh that's him guess what now they have that as either a law or case that they can cite or refer to in any State court or federal court the same applies to State legislation and law’s once they have been passed they are that much harder to fight and get it changed and they know this which is why we can never let our fellow Brothers & Sisters stand alone on any constitutional matter. ​We are all Americans and Citizens and not a divided label.

The Constitution is the Law of the Land and applies to all of us no matter what are skin color may be or our religious preference is or our sexual gender we are all Americans that is what we are not some label that they use or give us to further divide us and it is time that we realize that and stop this division. For we are not Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives or whatever label you have chosen to define us We are Americans. If you can not see how we have gotten to this point then maybe it is time for some self reflection and soul searching, because in the end Divide we will fall and that is the bottom line!

Ignorance is not an excuses when it comes to censorship on Social media platforms By: Drew Lima

I was in a live chat yesterday and I just couldn't believe that people in it didn't fully realize what has been going on on youtube. They are under the interpretation that censorship doesn't happen to videos that are set private or have been deleted because it has never happened to that nich and because a leader in that community said it wont happen if your videos are private and nothing I could say would make them see it any other way.

It's just not happening on youtube either it is happening on almost all social platforms, just yesterday even Reddit changed their policy on gun content. Google has also changed its policies on gun content, same with their adword policy which goes much deeper than just guns but hey since some of you have to see it to believe it here read for yourself;

Dangerous products or services We want to help keep people safe both online and offline, so we don't allow the promotion of some products or services that cause damage, harm, or injury.

Below are some examples of products and services that we consider to be dangerous, which you should avoid in your ads.

Guns The following is not allowed: Functional devices that appear to discharge a projectile at high velocity, whether for sport, self-defense, or combat Note​: We err on the side of caution and apply this policy to sporting or recreational guns that can cause serious harm if misused, or that appear to be real guns.

Examples​: Handguns, rifles, shotguns, hunting guns, functioning antique guns, airsoft guns, paintball guns, bb guns Any part or component that's necessary to the function of a gun Examples​: Ammunition, ammunition clips, silencers, or ammunition belts 8

Other weapons The following is not allowed: Knives that are designed or promoted (in modern-day usage) as products that can be used to injure an opponent in sport, self-defense, or combat Any knife design that provides a confrontational advantage (including disguised appearance or assisted-opening mechanism) Examples​: Switchblades, fighting knives, sword-canes, balisongs, military knives, push daggers, throwing axes Any other product that's designed to (in modern-day usage) injure an opponent in sport, self-defense, or combat Examples​: Throwing stars, brass knuckles, tasers, pepper spray For Some of you well that's just google adwords but that's where it all starts from there look what happened a change in Youtube policy on gun content & it wont stop there, what people fail to realize is that most websites & platforms use Google adword program but all platforms & websites you Google search engines which gives them leverage over all these platforms to dictate policy & content that Google deems suitable, so no this will not stop with just Google & Youtube but spread like an epidemic across every platform.

What I have come to realize that so many people don't go outside of their communities & only listen to that said genre of content so they don't see what is happening elsewhere and happening to other communities. If they did they would see a world of censorship that has gotten so out of control, Just on Youtube alone this has happened & I will include channel links so you can ask them for yourself that way you don't have to take my word for it & just a few because if I were to name all the one's I know well I'd be here typing for the next 2 days & that's not a joke either.

First what people have gotten strikes for Deleted videos (yeap that has happened) Private Videos Scheduled live stream that they haven't even streamed yet Art, School Shootings, documented rallies, talking about cryptocurrency Saying someone's name such as David Hoagg This list could also just go on & on no joke it is that bad, don't believe me yet well ask these people List of a Few Channels that have gotten strikes or have lost their main channel due to this.

Enterthe5t4rz RELOADED https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcno7BrCjkJchSsVPj5d6g

This is Cassy's Back up channel, he has gotten strikes for a Scheduled Live Stream, For decoding movies, TV programs, for talking about Christianity as well as videos set private & guys the list just goes on, don't believe me click the link & ask him yourself

Roofuscat 2 who's name? ​

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa-_aE9TgMKS80pY-sDU1eA

This is Roofucat back up channel which has gotten a strike for a deleted video, & a strike for talking about the school shooting in FL, yes you read right a deleted video he can no longer live stream for 3 months I believe.

DAHBOO77 ​

https://www.youtube.com/user/DAHBOO77/featured

Dahboo77 Has been forced to delete tons of videos just to keep from getting a strike he has received strikes in the past just not on this channel but his back ups as well, he is so censored that most of us don't even get notification that he has uploaded a video or is doing a live stream, He has also lost tons of subscribers 9

mysteriously for no reason at all. He has now gotten to the point where he uploads videos that may get him a strike to his web site.

B Rich ​

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC55VAeNjVYNp2Umqfo4TOUQ

B_Rich has also gotten strikes in the past but just 2 weeks ago he went to the Gun Rally here in Ohio & was going to live stream the event & even before he started the live stream Youtube said that his stream was not eligible for monetization you may appeal this wtf he hadn't even streamed it yet and YES this is a form of censorship he has had his view counts messed with frozen at certain number and even question them on it and there response was yes we do that to make sure the viewers are real viewers wtf. If you don't believe me go ask him he will tell you and show you the proof.

And for you Gun channels out there listen to Iraqveteran8888 as he lsit gun channels of people who got strikes or banned just 2 weeks ago Video Link: https://youtu.be/kenApSR0-UE?t=10m57s Some of you think Patreon is the answer let me remind you that they have banned people as well Video Link: https://youtu.be/rtImwK5TI4g Oh that was Lauren Southern who cares, but you should just by what she said in the beginning because what are they saying about gun's certain types of speech that it can cause harm it is all up for interpretation, how they not you chose to interrupt your content. This has become the problem because something like this happens to her or joe smoe you don't care just because you may not agree with what they say are what they do.

That has become the biggest problem of them all and why all these platforms are getting this crap off because we are so divided stuck within out communities and refuse to stand up & help the other communities out.

You know I can't even list how many people who have lost their channels on Youtube, or have been Purged on Twitter, and banned of Facebook it is happening on all the platforms even Periscope it is happening you say one wrong word or talk about a certain subject you get censored or banned this is what it has come down too, it's time that you all wake up but don't take my word for it go ask the one's I have listed or do the research it will blow your mind what you will find that has been happening.

In the end you can chose to ignore it, believe that it won't happen to you or even move to another platform thinking you will be safe there and you will just have to find out the hard way or you can say enough is enough and take a stand and start speaking out & reaching out to your communities telling them and showing them what has really been happening. Reach out to others and start openly addressing these issues before it is to late and you have lost all your freedoms on all these social platforms..

Chemical Weapons -accident at Dugway Proving Ground (Skull Valley) 6000 sheep killed03/13/1968

BY MR ANDERSON Link to Article https://mrandersonarea51.com/2018/03/28/dugway-sheep-kill-incident/

The Dugway sheep incident, also known as the Skull Valley sheep kill, was a 1968 sheep kill that has been connected to United States Army chemical and biological warfare programs at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Six thousand sheep were killed on ranches near the base, and the popular explanation blamed Army testing of chemical weapons for the incident, though alternative explanations have been offered. A report, commissioned by Air Force Press Officer Jesse Stay and first made public in 1998, was called the “first documented admission” from the Army that a nerve agent killed the sheep at Skull Valley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugway_sheep_incident In the days preceding the Dugway sheep incident the United States Army at Dugway Proving Ground conducted at least three separate operations involving nerve agents. All three operations occurred on March 13, 1968. One involved the test firing of a chemical artillery shell, another the burning of 160 U.S. gallons (600 litres) of nerve agent in an open air pit and in the third a jet aircraft sprayed nerve agent in a target area about 27 mi (43 km) west of Skull Valley. It is the third event that is usually connected to the Skull Valley sheep kill.

The incident log at Dugway Proving Ground indicated that the sheep incident began with a phone call on March 17, 1968, at 12:30 a.m. The director of the University of Utah’s ecological and epidemiological contact with Dugway, a Dr. Bode, phoned Keith Smart, the chief of the ecology and epidemiology branch at Dugway to report that 3,000 sheep were dead in the Skull Valley area. The initial report of the incident came to Bode from the manager of a Skull Valley livestock company. The sheep were grazing in an area about 27 mi (43 km) from the proving ground; total sheep deaths of 6,000–6,400 were reported over the next several days as a result of the incident. The Dugway Safety Office’s attempt to count the dead sheep compiled a total of 3,843.

Possible causes On March 13, 1968, an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft flew a test mission over the Dugway Proving Ground with chemical dispensers containing the nerve agent VX. One of the dispensers was not completely emptied during the test, and as the A-4 gained altitude after its bombing run, VX trickled out in a trail behind the aircraft, drifted into Skull Valley, north of the proving ground, and settled over a huge flock of sheep

Our Communities are the Backbone of our Country By: Drew Lima

As we enter the month of May, with warmer weather and backyard BBQ’s it’s a good time to invite a few friends and neighbors over and use this time to talk about some important issues that we all face today.

What better way than around a relaxing campfire with some good friends, food and drinks. This is an awesome way to also meet new people in your community as well as make new friends and address the many issue that we are facing today.

Our communities are the backbone of our great country and I feel with social media and internet it is the one thing that they have tried to make us over look. From making so we don’t have to leave the house because we can order everything and have it delivered to where most people would rather use facebook and twitter or even text your significant other in the next room instead of getting up and asking him/her the question. When was the last time you invited your neighbor over for a BBQ or attended a local get together? This seems to be the norm today and it also what we are teaching our kids as well so they think that the only social meeting place is the social media platforms.

This is some of the reason we are seeing all the problems and divisions in this country we have gotten away from being a part of our communities and this is what they want so it is easier to divide us and miss lead us. Lets just look at what is happening in our schools. How many of us know what the schools are teaching our kids, do you know if they are being taught common core or if our kids even really know what the constitution means and why it is so important. How many of you knew your kids was doing a walk out to protest the 2nd amendment but because they were not supposed to leave school grounds so they didn’t have to get your permissions.

All of us pay school taxes and should have the right to know what our kids are being taught as well demand the removal of common core teaching that doesn’t teach our kids the real history of our country, where they have removed anything that they deem leaves a blemish on what they say our country is today.

How many people in our community even know that this is happening?

I do get it, most families both parents are working and in some families at least one of them is working a second job which in turn we are tired by the end of the day and trust that our schools are doing their job and teaching our kids right. In some schools the kids aren’t even aloud to bring the textbooks home so we don’t get to see what's in the textbooks. Most schools now require our kids to have Ipads as part of their school supplies do we even know how those are being used in our schools to teach our kids.

As a community we do have a say in matters like this, but only if we are talking to each other and aware that these things are going on. This starts by reaching out to people in our community and socializing.

There is so many ways to go about this and it doesn’t have to be a huge event. It can be as simple as a backyard BBQ with a few neighbors and friends and the following weekend invite another set of neighbors and friends and encourage them to start doing the same thing.

Making Your Own Waterproofing for Tents, Clothing and Shoes

For many years, oilcloth was used for waterproofing clothes, tents and even for covering pioneers wagons. You can still buy oilcloth clothing and some members of my family wear it and love it for rainy weather. Oilcloth, also known as enameled cloth or (in England) American cloth, was close-woven cotton duck or linen cloth (canvas) with a coating of boiled linseed oil. It was one of very few flexible, waterproof materials that were widely available. Oilcloth was used as an outer waterproof layer for clothing, luggage and many other uses.

Now recently I have been looking into how to make your own waterproofing materials. I have found a formula that is easy to make from readily available ingredients. This is a mixture that has multiple uses. It 20

can be used to waterproof clothing, boots, canvas or wood. It works great on gunstocks. Even things like cloth baseball caps can be waterproofed.

The other day I made a batch of waterproofing at my house.

I melted a ½ pound of beeswax in a double boiler. Beeswax has a low melting temperature of around 150 F. A double boiler works well and is safer. But watch the wax well and make sure it doesn’t overheat.

When the wax is melted, remove it from the stove and add 4 oz of mineral spirits or turpentine and 4 oz of boiled linseed oil. This should be done outside and because the wax cools slowly, it should not be on the stove or fire when you add the liquids. Mix well and go back and stir occasionally while it is cooling so that it does not separate​.

When the waterproof is set it will still be soft. I then place it in cans or jars with tight fitting lids to keep it from drying out.

To use it on cloth or leather, warm the material first if possible. This helps the waterproofing to penetrate.

You can warm the material by setting it out in the sun or placing it in front of a fire. If the electricity is on you can tumble the material in a dryer or use a hair dryer to warm it.

Now take a cloth and rub the waterproofing in the material being careful to coat the seams well. You can use it on most cloth and other materials. After you put it on, give it some time to dry and penetrate. A little heat after it is rubbed in will help it penetrate. You may want to run a test on a small patch, since it can affect colors. Materials often get darker.

Try rubbing it on your gunstocks and it will give them a nice finish. It gives a nice hand rubbed finish to wood.

How to Build a Clay-Pot Smoker

You’ll be cooking up a storm with these plans on how to build a smoker.

This outdoor cooker can be assembled quickly and inexpensively using upcycled materials from your garage or workshop. Dig in!

If the thought of smoking meat and fish conjures up images of heaps of hardwood, a large smokehouse, and a big investment of time and cash, think again. You can start small with this simple homemade clay-pot smoker that assembles quickly.

Begin this weekend project with a shopping trip for readily available materials, or by rooting around at home for spare parts. So, find your materials, lay out your tools, and let’s get cooking — outdoors.

21

How to Build a Smoker 1 Purchase materials. Follow the materials list on Page 25. Because you’ll acquire parts to build this homemade smoker from a variety of sources, measure as you go and purchase the parts in the following order: • Electric hot plate. The smaller, the better, but make sure it runs on at least 1,000 watts to maintain the temperature required for smoking meats.

• Clay pot. The bottom must be large enough to accommodate the hot plate and control knob, with a little room to spare.

• Grate. You can find a grate at hardware stores or online. The one you choose must be of the right diameter to nestle inside your clay pot about 1/4 of the way down the sides.

• Cover. Find a pot tray or a clay pot that will fit over, inside of, or directly on top of the lip of the larger pot. The cover should create a decent seal and not be prone to sliding off the larger clay pot.

• Handle. Make sure the handle assembly hardware will work with the cover you chose.

2. Drill a hole. Use a masonry or glass-and-tile bit to drill a hole — or enlarge an existing hole — in the bottom of the large clay pot for the hot plate electrical plug to pass through. To minimize the chance of damage as you drill the hole, cradle the pot on a bag of sand for support.

3. Assemble a handle for the lid. Use the eye bolt, bolt, washers, nuts, and a 6-inch length of wood or wood dowel. Drill a hole in the bottom of the clay cover for the handle assembly.

4. Test-fit the parts. Position a few 2-inch-thick brick or patio block scraps inside the pot to prop up the hot plate for air circulation. Place the pie pan for wood chips on top of the hot plate, insert the cooking grate, and then add the cover. When everything fits, you’ll be ready to start smoking. Prop the pot on three bricks or patio blocks. If your cooking grate wobbles or tilts, create three support lips for the grate to rest on using dabs of silicone caulk on the inside of the larger pot.

5. Get smokin’. Position the smoker outdoors on a noncombustible surface in a sheltered area. On the trial run of my homemade smoker, a 5-pound brisket took 4-1/2 hours to get to the recommended internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Some trial and error will be required to find the hot plate setting that will keep your DIY smoker within the desired temperature range — between 210 and 220 degrees. Use gloves to handle the hot components of your smoker, and keep curious kids and pets away from the designated smoking area.

IN THE CAMERA EYE AREA 52 https://mrandersonarea51.com/

A blog site Created By Mr Anderson

The direction I want to go in the future comes in three parts. First, for purposes of organization, In The Camera Eye, is the overall blog. In a “roll” format. However, there will be a sub-category, Area 52. Now Area 52 blogs posts in the future will focus more on regional topics. I would say mostly around the intermountain west. You will note that right now I am working on the “Area 52 Project” which is in the West Desert near the Great Salt Lake salt flats in Utah. This is the third area of focus. I will work on a project, and it might well be an Area 52 project, but I will specify exactly what we will be looking into to avoid confusion. National and worldwide issues and stories will be covered using the main blog page In The Camera Eye. But remember, most all the stories will post on the main page blog roll.

Around The Newsverse

When The Children Cry By: Drew Lima

We live in a world where mainstream media tries to control the narrative and hide the real true stories that need to be brought to light, this is one of those topics that they refuse to talk about and if you try to talk about it you get censored on other social media platforms, if you do talk about this very subject.

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year – more than 2,000 children every day. These are only the ones that are reported, many more go unreported from those that run away from forster placement facilities and from broken homes, nor does this number figure in those who are born in homeless areas. I also want to point that these numbers are only from here in the US and not from other countries. Why isn’t their voices being heard and why does the Mainstream media refuse to talk about this.

So much of this came to light during the pizzagate fiscal where most people over looked the most important thing, and that was the sex trafficking and human trafficking of children and the links to missing children. The farther you researched and the deeper you got the more horrific it became, even to realize that this is happening in are very back yard and no one is making a big deal of it, and those that started to talk about this very issue got caught up and labeled a conspiracy theorist because of what others where doing and talking about and then followed an event that lead social media to start censoring everyone that was talking about this issue so many stopped even those that were truly bring light to the missing children just not from here in the US but all around the world with the final labeling that this was fake news.

3 months latter we started to hear of FBI raids and stings on sex traffickers and pediphelia rings and that was just the start these stings and arrest have been going on now for over a year but has gotten no major attention in the so called Mainstream News that they keep trying to tell us is real news and everything else is fake when in fact these very so called news companies is no better than the guilty ones, why because they are silencing these victims voices. With each raid and sting we start to see the depravity of the situation that almost all the victims are under 18 in some case infants. The number of arrest just last year is staggering, over a 1000 just last year and over 500 just in this year alone and in most of these 29

case we are talking about children and many of the ones that are adults were children when they first was abducted, kidnapped, and forced into this life that they did not ask for or ever want.

Those are just the lucky ones that have been saved from this, so many more are still missing waiting for someone to rescue them from this nightmare, others may never be found because they have been murdered for a sick fucking perverts pleasure or even worse. Just today I watched a youtube video that was so horrific I don’t even have words to explain it, and to come to find out that this video keeps being censored because of what it is talking about pisses me of even more. Children being abducted and murdered so that they can harvest their organs how morbid is that it is actually very morbid if you knew how they harvest organs yes there has to be a heart beat now think about that for a moment if you can stomach it. How can we be silent on matters like this, where's the outrage, oh wait I know they call it fake news it doesn’t happen, just like all those FBI raids and stings never happened.

We live in 2018 and this type of human brutality is happening every day around the world and 95% of people were asleep to this till pizzagate came about and most of them that covered pizzagate didn’t realize what was in front of them or they refused to see it because talking about this want draw numbers nor will it make money and shame on those that had that mindset you are no better than the Mainstream Media.

Where have people's morals gone, I was always taught that the children are the innocent and the most precious of all of God's creation why are we ignoring the Missing Children cases out their, why are we ignoring their cries for help.

We have some of the most powerful tools at our disposal with the internet and social media, there is no excuse for ignorance in this day of age and we all have a voice which is the most powerful tool we will ever have and that no man can ever take away from you, but they have taken it away from all these children and young adults and they need you more than ever. They are supposed to our future, they are suppose to feel safe and protected and not victims of unspeakable and horrific crimes.

For those that read Holidays and Events May 25th is National Missing Children's for me this should be everyday why just one day to address this and the sad truth is how many even know that on May 25th is National Missing Children's, I’ll tell you this you want hear any major news outlet even mention this, not CNN, FOX, MSNBC none. What is even sadder only a handful on Social Media will mention it or talk about, they much rather talk about what is trending or what QAnon has posted rather than talk about something that is real and that is happening right in their very backyard. Just walk into your local Walmart they have a bulletin board with all the missing children on it from your area, how many of you have even seen it or payed attention to or even to taken the time to look and see it??? See that image up there, that is what you are ignoring a child calling out for help….

Just a few statics in closing According to the United States Department of Justice; ● Less than 2 percent of all violent crimes against juveniles reported to police involve kidnapping. ● There are three distinct types of kidnapping: kidnapping by a relative of the victim or “family kidnapping” (49 percent), kidnapping by an acquaintance of the victim or “acquaintance kidnapping” (27 percent), and kidnapping by a stranger to the victim or “stranger kidnapping” (24 percent). ● Family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, involves a larger percentage of female perpetrators (43 percent) than other types of kidnapping offenses, occurs more frequently to children under 6, equally victimizes juveniles of both sexes, and most often originates in the home. ● Acquaintance kidnapping involves a comparatively high percentage of juvenile perpetrators, has the largest percentage of female and teenage victims, is more often associated with other crimes (especially sexual and physical assault), occurs at homes and residences, and has the highest percentage of injured victims. ● Stranger kidnapping victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims (although not exclusively so), and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.

The U.S. Department of Justice reports ● 797,500​ children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day. ● 203,900​ children were the victims of family abductions. ● 58,200​ children were the victims of non-family abductions.

30

● 115​ children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. (These crimes involve someone the child does not know or someone of slight acquaintance, who holds the child overnight, transports the child 50 miles or more, kills the child, demands ransom, or intends to keep the child permanently.)

According to the latest online victimization research, ● Approximately ​one in seven youth​ online (10 to 17-years-old) received a sexual solicitation or approach over the Internet. ● Four percent (4%)​ received an aggressive sexual solicitation – a solicitor who asked to meet them somewhere; called them on the telephone; or sent them offline mail, money, or gifts. ● Thirty-four percent (34%)​ had an unwanted exposure to sexual material — pictures of naked people or people having sex. ● Twenty-seven percent (27%)​ of the youth who encountered unwanted sexual material told a parent or guardian. If the encounter was defined as distressing – episodes that made them feel very or extremely upset or afraid – forty-two percent (42%) told a parent or guardian.

Research indicates that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before adulthood.

It’s A Preppers World

Importance of Preparing the Mind By: Drew Lima

For me Prepping is just not about gear supplies and guns, sure those things are important but what I don't hear many talking about is how important it is to train the mind. The truth is many will quickly find out just because you done all this training and learned how to build and make shelters as well as how to hike long days to get to your bug out location those are all physical attributes that yes you will need to have those skills but those will only get you so far.

See most people fail to realize that no matter how much they prepare for something till you are put into that situation you will truly never know how you will react. You will face decisions that need to be made right then and their within seconds not minutes that could potentially be life or death decisions, you may also encounter dead bodies or see someone die right in front of you all of which is traumatic and will affect you on many different levels. You will feel emotions that you may have never have felt before maybe even fear, anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. This is why training your mind is just as important if not more important than all the other skills you have learned.

Breathing So how do we start training our mind, well that can be as simple as doing breathing exercises which helps not only to calm your breathing but also it helps you focus with much better clarity. Best example is how a sniper will take several breaths before he/she takes their shot. This method will also help you to calm yourself and make quicker more focused decisions. If you practice your breathing exercises like you do all your other preps it will become second hand and will just happen without you even thinking about doing it. Also remember everyone is different you must find the one that works for you.

Know Thyself Most of us know our physical strengthens and weakness as well as our limitations but all these things are also affected by our mental state as well. You see in many case we self create our own limitations as well as some of our fears which could lead to a flight or fright situation or make a you chose a different course of action which in turn could result in bad a decision.

What are your Fears? Do you try to overcome them or do you give them power over you?

Do you test and try to push your limitations? Or is that in your mind that these are impossible to overcome?

What are your Addictions? Have you ever tried to go without for a day or do you just believe that you can’t go without?

32

Yes I agree some things are real limitations but you would be amazed at how many are just self induced that you have created in your own mind. That is why it is so important to constantly challenge yourself as well as pushing those boundaries by doing so you may just realize that we at times are our own worst stumbling blocks and that we have allowed those things to have control over us. Our mind is a very powerful tool and our most important weapon and therefore needs to be sharper than our sharpest knife.

That can only be done by realizing that we need to put to the test all the things that we think holds us back, but that also includes realizing that some things we may also perceive that we have fined tuned isn’t as fine tuned as we allowed ourselves to believe, you see it does work both ways we all have heard the saying pride comes before the fall yes that would be the ego which also needs to be controlled.

Scenarios/Role Playing This is actually a very useful tool, because it makes you think and play things out in your mind and makes you question things. I personally think that this tool is very undervalued and overlooked when it comes to this. In all the infinite possibilities that could happen we can never be truly prepared for everything because there will always be that unknown aspect that could happen and every scenario is different with that in mind we can begin to see just how important this tool is.

It makes us think as we put ourselves into that scenario as we start playing it out in our mind we begin to get a picture of things and how we are going to interact and within that scenario but what we are really doing is training our minds to help us stay focused, calm, and think fast on our feet and this list could go on because if we know thyself then we add that into the process therefore we are getting a much more real experience (meaning being yourself not some made up crap superhero but yourself the real you) It will also reveal the wrong course of actions and the dangers we may not have realized were there it begins to train the mind to spot those things and making you more aware.

Now we can take this one step farther by starting to Role Play this with our groups bring in a more real and physical experience. By doing so this will also help you cope with some of the more traumatic and emotional aspect that can and will occur. It’s all about training the mind and preparing it for such an event which may not even be what you Role Played or Scenario that you discussed but something entirely different but yet your subconscious mind recognize similarities of things that you have ran scenarios on and role played out therefore allowing you to react as if you had already done it.

Reality VS Fantasy What better topic to close this out with than this, because it fits into all the things I have talked about thus far as well as things that are starting to run through your minds as you read this. The reality is that we can never be truly prepared for everything there is and will always be that unknown factor and more than likely that will be what really comes about and not what we always talk about that will happen. I also think a lot of people think that they are leaders when in fact they are better at following and vise versa and that is were the fantasy aspect comes in. Some people think because they have went camping learned how to hunt and work out everyday that is all they need and the reality of that is you are only as strong as your mind. That is why there is no place for fantasized illusions or egos because those very things will lead you to your demise and others that have put their blind faith in what you have lead them to believe. Yes we all want to be the good Samaritan or the fearless leader but the fact is most are not nor can they be. There may come a time where by being the Good Samaritan will cost your group their lives because someone may just use that as a trap to get your gear and whatever else they may be after.

Some people will not be able to make that decision and if you can’t make that decision then you are not capable of leading anyone.

I see so many people that talk the talk and think they walk the walk but in truth it’s only for show. You can know all these skills but if your mind is weak than you will not survive long and the first time one of your decisions leads to a death of someone in the group then you will understand why only a few have the mindset to lead and the true weight and burdened that is on their shoulders. If anything happens that would lead to SHTF you must also realize that people out there will not be adhering to any law or morals so don’t be so foolish to think that everyone is going to share those ethics and morals. There is a time and place for everything and it’s up to you to know when and were that time and place is. Last but most important of all don’t fall victim to self induced delusions of grandeur created by your ego, Know Thyself and train your mind appropriately…

What Would You Do???

The Unforeseen Storm By: Drew Lima

Weather is one of those fickle things that can happen at a moments notice and with this being spring why not start our first what would you do scenario with one related to the weather as we are in peak tornado season and quickly approaching hurricane season.

Part 1 (​Are you alone or are you with your kids, spouse, boy/girlfriend or friends, This you will have to decide on your own or use each one and play the scenario out multiple times) As you are shopping at the local grocery store in your town you hear the town's tornado sirens start to blair and over the stores loudspeaker everyone is giving directions to move to the back of the store and away from the front, everyone is also instructed to stay calm.

At this point some people start to panic a few don’t head the instructions and start heading for the doors, you see other’s calmly heading to the back of the store you also see an old lady how has been knocked down by those who have panicked and rushed to the back of the store and at that moment you hear a transform blow as the power goes out and now your visibility is reduced by half. Now you are left with some quick choices to make. What Would You do? I will leave my answers at the end of this after all this is meant to make us think as we put ourselves into this scenario.

Part2 Depending on what you actions where in the first part may make this part a bit different for some of you so I will cover 3 possible scenarios here: The Good Samaritan You have decided to help the old lady that was knocked down as you navigate to her through in less than adequate light you start to notice that the farther into the store u get the darker it is getting but you can hear her calling out for help and in pain, just as you reach her you can hear what sounds like a Train whistle howling in the near distance and is getting louder by the second. She tells you in tears half crying and half pleading that she believes she broke her hip in the fall. You are about halfway to the back and you are also in the open area and visibility is about 25% and you know from the sounds you are hearing that the tornado is rapidly approaching. What Do You Do?

Self Preservationist 34

You have decided to quickly but calmly head to the back, ignoring the old lady that was knocked down and those that chose to run out of the store, as you know with the windowed front there is a good chance for flying debris and tons of glass that could cause serious harm even death. So you chose to avoid the middle of the store which is more open and go down one of the aisle. As you start moving towards that back of the store you notice that the farther into the store you get the darker it is becoming and you can hear what sounds like a Train whistle howling in the near distance and is getting louder by the second as you hear this do you quicken your pace or keep moving calmly as visibility is now about 25%, you know that in a matter of seconds the tornado is going to it and you are halfway to the back. What Do You Do?

The Thrill Seeker You have decided that either you can out run the Tornado or you want to film it either way you have chosen to put yourself at risk and leave the safety of the building, as you run out the door and into the parking lot you can see that this isn’t a test and that it is indeed a massive f3 tornado that is barreling down on you, their is already flying debris and very strong winds as well but what you do notice is that it is on the other side of the street and want make a direct impact. You are moments away from feeling the full force of this massive twister as bigger pieces of debris is starting to fall and you are still half way from your vehicle and you also realize that you don’t have time to make it back into the store either. What Do You Do? Part 3 (​As we can see just with the 3 types of people I have chosen there can be many outcomes on how this plays out based on the choices made and can be further expanded on​)

The Good Samaritan Depending on your course of action you will have either tried to move the old lady which you would have quickly found out that it was going to cause her a lot of pain at which point you are left with 3 choices 1 continue to drag her to a safer spot 2 leave her their and save yourself or 3 try to shield her and yourself and hope you are far enough into the store that you want get hurt, as you make your decision the front windows are blown in and the front part of the roof is torn off, you both are pelted with glass and debris but you were far enough in that you only sustained minor injuries and all around you you people people crying asking if a person needs help and has you look out towards the front you see that on the other side of the street builds are heavily damaged cars upside down and that you are also bleeding from cuts from flying debris. What Would You Do?

Self Preservationist As you reach the end of the 1st isle you realize you are not going to make it to the back of the store So you chose to crouch down and use the isle as a barrier hoping that you are a far enough back and shielded from any flying debris, at which point you hear the windowed front get blown in and the roof get torn off, but because of the store being so dark you did not see that you had crouched down right under a light fixture which has come down on top of you, which has also caused some minor wounds lucky for you it was just a glancing blow but enough to cause some cuts and scrapes. What you now hear is people crying out for help others asking if they can help and has you get to your feet and look down the aisle towards the front of the store you know see that the other side of the street has been heavily damaged and that their is cars upside down and you can hear emergency sirens going off as well. What do You Do?

The Thrill Seeker As you realize how precious your situation has become you are left with really only one choice and that is to take shelter under a car and hope the twister does not change direction or throw huge debris unto where u are at. As you take cover you are being battered with very strong wind and debris at one point you feel the vehicle shake and move a bit from the strong winds as you see a piece of metal you think what is left a sign slams into the car right next to you going through the rear fender. As it pass and things calm down you find yourself cut up from all the flying debris and very lucky to be alive your having a hard time hearing as well do to the deathing sound of the winds as you get up you can hear people screaming for help across the street where you now realize has been leveled and debris is strewing everywhere as you also realize that this tornado as ripped right through the whole town as also hear people inside crying

up for help as you hear emergency sierins on the other side of town and you know that it will take some time for them to reach people on this side of town. What Do You Do?

Assessment Weather is one of the most unpredictable force of nature it could be a perfectly beautiful day and something like this could just come out of nowhere.

There is no real right or wrong answer to this scenario because 1 you never know how you will react to a situation unless you have already experienced it and 2 every situation is different.

Just by changing a few things in this scenario like when it happened during the weekday or weekend, the time of day if it was a school week maybe your kids where in school which would dramatically change how you react to an event like this. Also knowing your state laws because some states if you try to be a good samaritan you could be liable for the person you help if they think you caused further injury or death because of your action. These are just some of the things that can figure into your decision making as well as your skills and knowledge. Also remember you may also come across dead bodies unless you have experienced that you truly don’t know how you will react and all the preparation in the world can not truely prepare you for this till you experience it.

So What Would You Do, Here is my answer Since I don’t have kids and am single would more than likely in the store by myself, I would also know that hearing the Tornado sirens that it wasn’t a test since they always announce the day and time that they are doing it then upawn hearing the instructions over the loudspeaker to take cover in the back I would start to calmly head to the back paying close attention to where I am at and what is around me and choosing the aisle that will cover me from any flying debris as I see the old lady get knocked down as people panic I would make my way to her to help if I can as I do looking for anything that I could use for covering as the lights go out I am not worried because I carry a light on my keychain which is dangling from my chain wallet on my right leg as I pick up my pace a bit still looking for something that I could use as a shield I see a large cardboard display just by where the old lady had falling. As I reach her I hear her say that she thinks she broke something at which point I will not try to move her because the last time I checked our state law states that we can be liable if we help someone (This I need to look into because I have been told this law has changed) At this point I would head for that cardboard display case and use it to cover both of us and hope that it will shield us from the smaller debris. The fact is I don’t have any more time to change more decisions and know I couldn’t make it to the back because of the time it took to check on the old lady and grab the cardboard display case.

So by my choices I would have protected myself and the old lady from flying glass and now will be able to help others that need it & get someone that can help the old lady better than I can. Since I know myself I would want to help others in the town and help search and rescue since I do have some medical training and search and rescue training as well, and I would feel I would be more needed in that area.

Also something to note for those who have never experienced this the aftermath is just as dangerous you have down power lines some may still be live and gas leaks as well as dangerous unstables structures, you need to be aware of your surroundings at all times and always work with a body or group of people never alone.
