However, the mainstream media demeans preppers as irrational and out of touch with reality. Note that, from a scientific point of view, however, prepping...

Certainly, the precious metal’s ascent, as usual, is signaling that all is not well.Earlier this year, the precious metal soared past $2500 an ounce to all-time price highs, making it one of the best-performing assets...

The next day, Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson said the Lord’s Prayer over a crowd in Washington, D.C.
