Yesterday, officials confirmed that what the commercial airline crew of Cathay Pacific Flight 893 witnessed last Wednesday on their flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong was indeed an intercontinental ballistic missile launched by North Korea.
The Hwasong-15 missile is the largest (and farthest-flying) projectile the secretive nation has tested thus far. According to the piece above from SHTFplan.com, this latest launch has caused several experts to reverse their opinion that North Korea doesn't have the firepower to hit the continental U.S.
In addition, this report quotes national security adviser H.R. McMaster saying, “I think [the potential for war is] increasing every day, which means that we are in a race, really, we are in a race to be able to solve this problem.”
Whether the problem is solved in time remains to be seen. In the event it isn't, I certainly hope you are ready with emergency supplies on hand and disaster plans in place.
This headline doesn't exactly grab you, but the story certainly should — especially if you value your privacy.
Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Carpenter v. United States. Their decision will ultimately determine whether the government is in violation of the Fourth Amendment by accessing an individual's cellphone locations records without a warrant. The verdict could set a HUGE precedent regarding the expectation of privacy in the digital age.
Regardless of the outcome, I recommend turning off the location services on your smartphone for all applications. If you have to turn them on (to use Google Maps, for example) be sure to turn them off again immediately after you're finished.
As the subheadline for this piece from BeSurvival boldly proclaims, “Turning a simple home and a plot of land into a homestead that can support itself (and you!) is possible.” To that end, author “Sergeant Survival” runs down five tips to start you off on the right foot — along with links to several other resources and supplemental articles
If you want to learn how to create a self-sufficient homestead and live a simpler, more independent life with less waste, lower costs and the potential to produce a small stream of income, click on the link above and take notes.
Stay safe,
