Obama is getting really chummy with our friends in the UN.
Check out the articles here and here.
Make sure you tell your congressperson how you feel about this.
November Crossroads Gunshow
Are any other Utah locals (or regional folks) planning on heading to the Crossroads gun show on the 22nd? The last few shows have had variable results in terms of deals, and content. But given the amount of choices we have around here, especially with current federal expectations I know I plan on going. Any one else wanting to meet up/carpool/etc?
Food Storage Survey
While I am not sure who created this survey, I took a couple minutes and filled it out.
Change
Thanks to @cboyack for his recent post about the obama “service corps”, I now have a new image to share.
Are you Prepared?
Welcome to the new Draft
“The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.”

CD3WD
Via a recent SurvivalBlog entry, I found a link to the CD3WD. This is a site that has taken various international resources on third world development and moved them to more open formats than they were originally. All the content is an amazing amalgam of HOW-TO data that is organized well, and completely open. They have topical zips of some of the content, or a friendly mirror of all of the 13gigs of content. Go browse the mirror and see the quality of the data, then grab a copy for yourself.
